Honor Donor to Institution.
The remains of Irving D. Smith, the
farmer millionaire, were inferred at
Sioux Falls under the auspices Of the
Odd Fellows of Madison and Sioux
Falls. A special train brought four
coach loads of mourners and others
from Madison to pay their last re-
spects to the dead.
A pathetic incident of the funeral
march from the train to the cemetery
occurred when the procession reached
the South Dakota Children's home,
where it was halted for the little in
mates of the home to place floral Of
ferings on the casket of the man
whose philanthropy had extended to
the home In a substantial manner.

AS an Illustration of the enthusiasm
with which golf is pursued by it's vo-

of a wen4nown Scotch author and a
young friend of his: The two had
spent the whole day on the links, and
had some close and exciting matches.
AS they left for home the elder man
remarked:

Privileges of Ambassadors.

An ambassador cannot be sued; in
fact, he is exempted from all legal
process by a statute which was
passed to appease the wrath Of Peter
the Great of Russia, whose ambassa-
cor was actually arrested in London
for a debt Of $3.50. Ambassadors are
in all countries permitted the free ex-
ercise Of their religion. They are ex-
empted from direct taxation, they
have special letter bags for their
mails, and they pay no customs du.

latter privilege is, however, now sub
ject to limitations, for 1t Was formerly
much abused in certain countries
where high customs duties obtained.
