For several reasons 1t is best to keep

wander off and perhaps return to some
other nest For the small raiser of
poultry a very good form of nests with
runs is shown in the drawing. Any
number can be constructed side by

and high and the boards should be not
less than four feet long. Lath or thin

Girls az PLAYWRIGHT.

The thing nowadays that Ia taking
the greatest hold of the young girls, who
turn to the stage as flowers turn tn
the sun, is the mania for play writing.

to write a play. II she can't write

estly searches for a collaboration who
will put her ideas in dramatic FORM
The germ Of playwriting is abroad In
the land, and few escape it. Many
are melted by the current stories OF
vast fortune made by the successful
playwright Others desire the fame or
notoriety that goes with dramatic sue
cess. In every girls school and COL
lege the mania for writing plays has
burst forth with remarkable vigor. In
women's clubs analyses of plays go

writing of them. she is writing a

woman's withdrawal from ordinary

opinion on their plays or to get them

to achieve this purpose.

Keep Hen House Clean.

The droppings may not have been
removed lately from the hen house,
and the place is disgusting to enter!
Pure eggs in plenty are not produced
in such place, says the Farm Jour

work from which man would shrink.
He will enjoy gathering eggs from
clean nests and in pure air.

Doing Their Own Thinking.


Lincoln Steffens. an author of oon-
siderable note, is writing a series of
newspaper articles from Washington,
in which he handles some of the DO
litical legerdemain of the national
capital without gloves. His articles,
which are adroitly embellished with
spicy satire, throw a limelight upon
some Of the doings of congress, and
make decidedly interesting reading for
people who try to keep track of pub
lie affairs. And right here it may be
remarked that people generally, espe-
cially those living In the country, are
reading much more than they did be-
fore, and they're doing their own
thinking more than they did a few
years ago. Instead of drawing polit-
ical inspiration from the slogan of the
stump orator and the intoxicating
Establishments of the willy Office seek
er, they are doing a heap of fireside
thinking, and the result will be a more
enlightened and progressive standard
of citizenship than formerly. The
more people read and think, the better
they'll be prepared to act wisely in
their efforts to sift the wheat of truth
and justice from the chaff of sophis-
try and deception. 1t may impair
party alignments somewhat, and pos
sibly disturb the serenity of party
bosses and undeserving candidates,
but the public and the country will be
benefited in the outcome.

those seated gave any attention to my
butler. The first thing he did was to
drop the silver ladle. Only the girl
saw this mishap: She laughed; and
Raleigh believed that he had told his

ladle, and proceeded coolly enough. I
must confess, however, that. his cool
ness was the result Of physical ef-
fort. The soup quiyered and. trem-
bled outrageously, and more than once
he felt the heat Of the liquid on his

pale, that moment 1t was red. But,
as I remark ed, few observed him,
Why should they?. Everybody had
something to say to every ybody else;
and a butler was only machine any

looked in his. direction: his late colonel,
Mrs. Chadwick and the girl; each from

A. w. PreWiGt until recently one
OF the publishers of the Onida Watch
man, was a caller yesterday, being on
his way to his new location at the
postot1ice at Philip, about eighty miles
up Bad river, on the line Of the
Northwestern extension, where MI.
PreWitt will soon issue new paper
To be called the neton River News.
He proposes to start business right
by taking along bride, Miss Ollie
b. Green, of Cnda, a most estima-

in Sully county several years. They
will be married in Fort Pierre today

household goods and material for the

Mr. Prewitt and wishes him unbound
ed success in his matrim onial and
business ventures.
At the meeting of the Pierre Com
mercial association, called to meet at
the council rooms last Friday night
quite a number of prominent business
men were present. The object of the

Watertown Public Opinion: Speak
lug of the Oil law in the state, some
sharp criticism thereon having been
passed by some of the insurgent press
the Pierre Free Prees says, in part
"On the top of this both Attorney Gen
eral Hall and Prof. Shepard appeared
before the committee that had the bill
in charge, and made strong speeches
in its behalf, and on the strength OF
their statements the bill was reported
favorably and passed both houses with
hardly dissenting vote" Attorney
General Hall is now an insurgent candi
date for congress and in view Of his at
titude concerning the Oil bill it is moi
likely that the insurgent press will con
tinue to criticise the law, whether o.
not there are reaso nal,le grounds fol
such criticism.

Deadwvod Special: The plans Of the
Chicago q Northwestern railroad as.
regards the extension to its line from
Pierre to the Black Hills are of interest
to all the northwest, especially to Hi
nois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and
Nebraska. 1t is expected to have the
road in operation by the lst of Jan
uary, 1902, and to run two trains
dali. both to and from the Black
Hills country. The morning train
will leave Deadwood at or s and
an evening train at 1880. This will
shorten the time to Chicago about
two hours, the distance being about
1908 miles; it will make differ
ence Of about twelve hours in the time
between the Twin Cities and the Black
| Hills, difference of about twenty-four
hours between Pierre and the Black
Hills and difference of from twelve
to sixteen hours between Black
| Hills points and those OF the
eastern part of the state. 1t is the
intention to make the run from
Deadwood to Minneapolis and st. Paul
in about the same time as is now made
between Deadwood and Omaha. Pas
sengers from Deadwood to Chicago can
transfer at Kasota and go by way of
Minneapolis and Saint Paul, joining the
main line again at EIroy, Wis, for ~
extra. The return trip can be made in
the same manner. The Northwestern
road will further attempt to get the
Omaha freight rate for st. Paul, Mime
apolis, Duluth and Milwaukee instead
of the Chicago freight rate, which those
cities are at present paying Very
attractive passenger rates will also be
made, and it is the intention of the
company to bring into the Hills during
the first summer, that of 1907 at least
100000 tourists. The extension is
being built directly west from Pierre
across the old Indian reservation te
Rapid City, from which point the pre-,
lsent line of the Northwestern will be
used into Deadwood and the Northern
Hills.
