Pointed Out CONTINGENCY.

Francois, head coachman to James
Hazen Hyde, is of herculean proper
tions, for it is fashionable to have i'm
posing. gigantic men for this office.
Francois, who has worked for w. X.
Vanderbilt and Mrs. o. P. Belmont
and who, by request, led the corone-
tion procession of the Russian czar,
was recently the guest of honor at a
dinner of racing men.
The herculean Frenchman told at
this dinner a story about a girl and a
bookmaker.
There was a girl" he said, "who
went to the races and was attracted
by the betting.
"She mingled in the crowd about
the bOokmakers. The excitement pre-
vailing there communicated itself to
her spirit. She approached a book
maker and said:
''If put dollar on horse and it
wins how much do l get?'
IF the horse starts at 60 to L. rne
bookmaker answered, you get SCI. II
1t starts at 20 to l you get $21. II it
starts at 10 to l you get Sill"
"The girl still looked puzzled.
Bit she said, suppose 1t start.

Ing Sunday school convention.
The musical talent was good, and
the appreciative audience applauded
each number of the programme, until
DR.. Lorimer. feeling that the demon
stration was out of place, stepped to
the front Of the platform, and said that
he was glad those present were en-
joying the concert, but he must re-
quest them not to clap their hands,
considering that they were in the
house of the Lord.
The next number following his COM
ment was a vocal duet by Winthrop
E. Ferguson (the boy soprano at the
Church of the Advent) and Walter
Boyd (son OF Prof. Boyd, director of
music at fremont Temple). They
had not anticipated DR.. Lorimer's re.
que st, and the audience was some
what startled when their clear voices
rang out with 20 clap your hands, all
ye people,"
Even DR.. Lorimer Joined In the
smile which spontaneously spread over
the entire BoDton Herald.

GREAT RUSH TO SOUTH DAKOTA
New Sections in the Northwest Openng-Faulk and
Contiguous Counties Attract Many
Newcomers.
Railways Open New Territory.

Dut northwest of Faulk county, and
on the next tier Of counties north, II
Walworth county, which is the present
terminus of one of the great railway
systems that traverse the state. This
terminus, Evarts, is little over mid
way of the state and is located on the
Missouri river. West of Evarts to the
western border, Is very thinly settled
section of the state, and one without
railways. But two lines Of railway are
now under construction by which this
vast territory within the present year.
in all probability, will be thrown open
to settlers
This country is we'll known, how
ever, and the fact that it has not been
settled up before is simply because OF
it's remoteness from railway lines. 1t
also contains a vast quantity of free
homestead lands, and the progress OF
the railways is attracting thousands
of landseekers to the district. Many OF
these are men who come out here and
go to work on the railways, and as the
latter progress the workers have
chance to select the land that suits
them best, and at the same time are
not only making living, but saving
money. Hundreds of these men who
are to-day working for day wages will
in the next five years be reckoned
worth their thousands, and will be
bossing their own workmen.
About Homestead Lands.
have received a good many in
quiries about these homestead lands
and how they can be obtained, and
will state the qualifications briefly:
First, a homesteader is required to
be a citizen of the United States or
to have made declaration Of inten-
ton to become one, and must be over
the age of 81. He is allowed to home
stead a quarter section, or $50 acres,
and for this the land Office filing fee
is $14. Certain Improvements are re-
quired to be made within six months
after fling. After this period resi-
dence must be continuous. Final
proof can be made fourteen months
after date of filing by paying $1.25 an
acre, or after five years continuous
residence the fee is only $14.
The best way for an intending
homesteader to do is to go to one OF
the real estate dealers Of the state
and engage his srvices to attend to
all the preliminaries. For this they
charge sum that is merely nominal
and save the hOmesteader a whole lot
of difficulty. If person files on the
land they pay the fee. If he does not,
there is no charge. These dealers,
however, are thoroughly acquainted
with the country and the possibilities
Of the land, and their advice alone Is
worth more to the prospective home
steader than the fee he pays them.
1t may be roughly stated that per-
sons total expense to locate and file
on a homestead will aggregate about
800. 1t nay also be stated as rule
that the value of this same land will
average at least $4,000 by the time
final proof is made.-Herbert Wander
hoof in Chicago Inter-Ocean.
