ITO Mrs. Sally Kendall, Hotel du

Black Hills for a month.
People who have never been abroad
have dubbed this place the Carlsbad
of America. 1t consists of one street.
which is made up OF shops, saloons and
restaurants and various little com
munities of houses perched on red dirt
bluffs. There are also several baths, in
which. 1 understand, rheumatism is
supposed to- be cured, and / dare say

the surrounding country broad and fine.
If / had sufficient money to ride every
day the time would pass pleasantly, for
one breathes deeply when the horse

ing line of hills stretches to the llori-
zon. Not having that money l endeav-

life, but / have failed to find it at all
like what the 'Virginian' led me to sup
pose il might be. The oldest sight has
been that of two men trying to pull a
colt along by a rope fastened about its
neck. The animal was frightened, re-
fused to so, got jerked off it's legs. and
was rapidly being choked to death
when a bystander advised placing the
rope around its hindquarters. and In
this way the unwilling beast was, to it's
intense surprise, made fairly to iy over
the ground.
Bat the West is in a transition state

but the other passengers. two Swedes,

to the driver. He drew his gun, and
under this compulsion the suriy Swedes
were obliged to assist the others. but
even then the coach did not stir. She
noted the unnatural calm OF the driver,
and said, Sir. If you want to swear, do
so, and don't mind me- He thanked

try to excuse them on the ground that
it is marvellous people should be here
at all, but ! would rather, go insane

from friendships with any OF the 'city's

Occasionally I feel sympathy for
some pocr exile like myself. and we
have a chat about the character of the
men who in writing proclaim 1t a pleas

II am fortunate in being able to read

creature who lives across the road has

ordinary type of business man. who
was making a salary Of $4,000 a year
in New York. His wife drank. He en-
dured it patiently for fifteen years and
tried in every way to save her; 1t be-
came hopeless, and at last, when the
disgrace was a menace TO his financial
usefulness, his firm offered to reserve
his place and sent him here for relief.
He came. and after a few idle days
visited banks, shops, factories begging
to be given any subordinate position at
a salary of six or seven dollars a week
for the sake of employment. Every
position was filled, and If to be vacated,
promised to several applicants, so he
is reduced to an occasional game of bill
llards at the club or a fishing expedi-
ton, where he never by any chance has
a bite.
There is another side to the story,
the terrible side, against which the
papers do well to rail. One gentleman
90 waiting for a decree rides about in
pomp with stout bejeweled woman,
whom he calls his sister and with
whom he lives in one of the large
apartments downtown, but when the

general sentiment of the people is
strongly against such outrageous con-
duct.
Indeed. 1t is rare thing for the
actual Inhabitants of South Dakota to
seek divorce. Very few of the cases in
court are native. With the cage door
wide open the people prefer to remain
inside and be respectable for the con-
sensus OF opinion is strongly against
divorce.
There is one marked case Of this. A
