Luck Money.


"Handser' is the first money received
Tor the day ('luck money!, that which
n given back "for luck" by the seller
70 the buyer. Splitting upon 1t is the
essence of the whole transaction, and
It Is practiced today, not only all over
England, but all over the world. We
know from many classical authors
what virtue was believed by ancient
Greeks and Romans (see Potter, car
ehaeol, Graec.," l., 410 to lie in the
act, and there Is also abundant evil
dance Of the belief all through the mid
die ages, and now In the twentieth
century 1t remains as strong as ever.
Otto jain says: II have often seen the
0shwives of Ellerbeck, when they had
got handgeld from my mother, how
they spat upon 1t. They say that It
brings them besonderes gluck. They
viii not tell the reason. Certainly it Is
done to keep OF witchcraft." The same
thing is done by modern Egyptians and
b. italians. At Posilippo I gave a
penny to a deaf mute. He first spat
on It, then put 1t to his forehead, and
lastly devoutly crossed himself with It,
precisely except the crossing) as is
done by modern Egyptians. Even in
faroff Celebes the natives spit in the
same way as protective rite.-Notes
and Queries.

THE Sioux Falls Press, which is
the leading democratic paper OF
the state, and largely controlled
by ex-senator Pettigrew, has
been taking q particularly active
part IN the campaign for the
nominees to be selected by the
coming convention. On being
questioned by q republican ex-
change as to its position after
the convention, it says that it the
the Crawford faction should win
the Press would support the
ticket. With Mr.. Pettigrew at
the head of republican affairs in
the state the Press could Ger tain
~ have no particular reason for
opposing the ticket.

when watches Were new.

"mCn W0tC0c0 were News
At first the watch was about the size
Of a dessert plate. It had weights and
was used as pocket clock" The
earliest known use Of the modern name
occurs In the record of 1852, which
mentions that Edward vi. had lone
larum or watch Of iron, the case being
likewise of iron gilt, with two plum
NETS Of lead" The first watches may
readily be supposed to have been of
rude execution. The first great i'm
provement, the substitution of springs
for weights, was in 1850. The earliest
springs were not coiled, but only
straight pieces of Steel Early watches
had only one hand, and, being wound
up twice day, they could not be ex-
pected to keep time nearer than fifteen
or twenty minutes In the twelve hours.
The dials were Of silver or brass. The
cases had no crystals, but opened at
the back and front and were four or
ave inches in diameter. A plain watch
cost the equivalent Of 81 900 in our cur
rency, and after one was ordered 1t
took a year to make 1t.

Trolling For Tarpon.

It is not easy to hook tarpon while
trolling, for his mouth Is very hard,
says Julian A. Dimock in Country Life
In America, and much skill may doubt
less here be shown. In the playing Of
the fish the work Is about the same as in
still fishing save that more care must be
used, as the hook is probably not firmly
imbedded. An old fisherman told me that
he liked to be sure Of his fish and so
preferred still fishing, but to my mind
It is one Of the objections to that meth
Cd. Another and stronger objection is
the disturbance Of my feelings in think
Ing that am pulling against flsh's
"in'ards." If the line does break the
chance Of the victims being able to
free himself from the hook is problem
atical, while in trolling it Is the work
Of minute after the strain Is OF the
line until a sore mouth Is the only
symptom remaining.

TO VOTE FOR RATE BILL.
Senator Killrcdge Gives His
Views ON Hepburn Rate

Washington, March Ii Special to
the Argus-Leader Senator Kit
tredge defines his position in no un-
certain manner in the Hepburn rail-
road rate bill in the following inter-
view given to the representative OF the
Argus Leader last night:
81 shall vote for the house rate bill.
Today / shall introduce in the senate
amendments to the bill extending its
provisions to apply to private car
lines and sleeping car companies. An
examin alton of the house bill report
ed to the senate Monday has convinc-
ed me that such companies are not af-
fected by the proposed measure and
that it should include such companies,
and in my opinion. admits of no argu-
ment. MY amendments, If adopted
will accomplish this and they will be
urged to the limit of my ability. 1t
is notorious that rebates and discrim.
nations of the most flagrant sort by
means of private car lines have thriv-
ed under the existing law and they
should be placed under the control of
the interstate commerce commission
precisely as are railway companies
and other carriers. Other amend
ments will doubtless be presented be-
fore the vote is taken. These will re-
ceive MY careful consideration and if
they strengthen the bill, will receive
my vote. Otherwise they will not.
These conclusions have been reached
after q careful examination of the
presidents message, the evidence pre-
sented to the committees of the senate
and house, existing laws, the deci-
siOns of the courts, the house bill and
the representatives of committees.
The amendments which the senator
will offer are as follows:
"First- Companies or persons own
ing, leasing, managing or rating
cars used in the business of carry ing
any kind of property including live
stock, though such cars run upon
railways not owned or leased, man
aged or operated by such companies
or persons, shall be deemed to be
such carriers eng aged in the trans
portation OF property by railroads
within the meaning of this act.
"SecOnd-ParIOr car and sleeping
car companies owning, leasing, man
aging or operating cars used in the
business Of carrying passengers,
though such cars run upon railways
not owned, leased, managed or Oper-
ated by such parlOr car or sleeping
car companies shall be deemed to be
carriers engaged in the transporta-
tiOn OF passengers by railroad within
the meaning Of this act.

oUrrH often in political affairs
the same - ii business matters
ana professional life the man
Who proves himself thorough in
HE work, attentive to his duties
and endeavors to excel in some
minor place is honored with pro-
motion and Is asked to step up
into 8 larger work and more i'm
portant position. When q man
has pr owed himself by diligence
and faithfulness those whom he
he's served are not slow to recog-
nize his merit, and quite often
advance him to further positions
Of responsibility. On the other
hand the man who simply uses a
public Office as private snap,
who neglects his duties aud fails
to make good his promise of
faithfulness, is certainly not en-
titled to higher honors and
greater responsibility. 1t is the
supreme height of gall for q per-
SON who has thus abused the con-
fidence Of the public, and proved
himself unworthy of the minor
place to demand that he shall
be promoted to larger responsi.
bilites and more important pub
lic duties. But this is just what
Mr.. Bentley is doing today.
He dare not even make an at
tempt st denial Of the record he
has made as states attorney,
and Of the absolute and positive
failure he has been in that Office.
We have several times before
presented facts and figures TAX
On from the county records, and
from the absolute reliability OF
which there is no escape. To
these presentations of facts,
showing the unfitness of Mr..
Bentley to remain in the posi-
tiOn which he has failed to fill,
his only reply has virtually been
that Billy Rabbit is a bad man,
and is trying to run the politics
Of the county. Mr.. Bentley
seems to be utterly oblivious of
the fact that there are several
thousands Of tax payers and vot-
ers in the county who are
anxious to know whether he
thinks he is entitled to promo.
ton from county attorney to
congressman because of his rec
ord in the latter Office. And
when the states attorney gets
around to explain some of the
crooked things already publish
Cd we would invite his attention
to 4 Ger tain piece of court script,
numbered 284, in the case OF the
state VS.. Grant county.
It will be seen Mr.. Brennan
must have been on very friendly
terms with the states attorney,
and must also have been living

The service for women only on a
stormy Saturday afternoon, was a
surprise to MIR. Lowry, nearly every
seat was taken on the floor of the
hall.
Surely such special services handled
as they were, in a manly and Chris
tain way can only produce good in
the individual, in the family and in
the community.
The discourse on popular Amuse-
ments'' called for hall that would
seat at least three hundred more than
the regular seating capacity. Mr..
Lowry for one hour and half gave
the people the dangers attending these
things. He showed very plainly how
how the card party, the social dance
aud theatre going not only had
tendency to, but actually, did unfit
the professed christian for church
work, and killed their influence for
Christianity.
Prof. Stentz has pleasing pres
ence and is we'll adapted to conduct
large chorus choir. Also his solo
singing has great power and is essen
TALLY stimulating and helpful in the
services, especially at the time of Mr..
Lowry's invitations to those who de-
sire to go forward to the front seat.
Some If the results of these lneet-
ings are as follows: First, never was
there such unanimity of feeling and
brotherly spirit manifested ia this
city among all the churches. Protes-
tant and Catholic alike have attended
The services and gotten good thereby.
Second. many protesting Christians
I'D our churches have been aroused
from their sleep of indifference and
once more become active Christians.
Third, 247 persons are numbered
among the converts-some OF these
we,e e church members, but they felt the
need of going to the fountains head
for help. Fourth, the churches are
desirous of continuing in union
efforts for the Master and the good OF
souls In the future. at interv ais.
The exper ses OF these meetings were
about 9210, which amount was raised
BY nightly offerings until the whole
amount was raised. On the last Sun.
