Penitentiary a Busy Place

Sheriff John Anderson returned
Saturday night from Sioux Falls,
where he delivered William Barker
and George Miller to the state peni-
Tertiary. The trip was made without
incident and Barker and Miller are by
this time at work in the shirt, factory.
Mr.. Anderson says that the shirt fac
tory is a busy place. Each man is
given SO much to do and he is allowed
to quit when he has finished. In this
way those who hustle have the privi-
lege of some outdoor exercise each day.
All the work about the penitentiary
is done by convict labor, even the
cooking, caring for the heating and
lighting plants and all. There are
only two m in the penitentiary
at present and they are not employed
in the shir5 factory but are given 9TH
er work to do. Next spring, as soon
as the weather permits, work will be
begun on the building for the Irvine
plant. The convictS will do practic-
ally all of this work, even to quarry
ing the stone.

George Sullivan came up on the
freight, Saturday afternoon to visit
the home folks for a week. He is
train man on the Northwestern. and
all summer has had the run from
Redtield to Gettysberg, one of the
best on the road.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. j. Chase returned
from their eastern trip on the mid
night train Saturday night. They
visited with their son, Percy, in
Chicago, and witnessed the live stock
show, which George says was greater
than ever this year.
Last week, while taking a load of
hay to Aberdeen, Nose r. johnson,
who is now farming wei toward
WeStpurt, had a rather serious time
One report is that he fell through a
hole in the rack, and in the mix up
between the sleigh and the horses, he
emerged with a black eye and the
knuckles on his right fist pretty badly
bruised up. This is the authorized
version of just how it happened.
Citizens of this place have had their
interest in the railroad survey made
through here revived by the interview
with Nice-president Day of the Min
neapolis and St. Louis company, just
published in the Minneapolis journal.
From this it is evident that the above
company is back Of the construction
company organized to extend $50 miles
north and west from WATERFOWL. A
Columbia man has inside information
to the effect that the 500 will not per-
nit the M & St. L to parallel it's grade
from Aberdeen to LeOla. In that
case the NJ & St, L will necessarily
have to choose the line through Gro
ton and Columbia rather than the one
through Aberdeen.
G. w. Atkins and family, as we'll as
The whole community, were shocked
on Tuesday of this week when Post
master Horsley received word from
Aberdeen that a mar answering the
description of Fred Atkins, who is
now teaching in an Indian school at
Oklahoma City, had been found dead
at that place. The authorities there,
in endeavoring to identify the dead
man and finding that the hat he had
worn had been purchased in Aberdeen,
sent inquiry to aberdeen, which in
turn was forwarded to Columbia. But
the terrible suspense Of Fred's rela-
tivest and friends was, after some de-
lay, relieved by IA reply to a telegram
sent to the school, which stated that
Fred was alive and attending to buSl-
ness as usual.
On Friday of this week, the twelfth

Wilke, in Brainard, will occur The

East and West of Eureka

Railroad surveyors are still working
on a line east and west from Eureka.
A while ago the survey from Aberdeen
to Leola was completed. Since then
the same crew Of men has been work
ing in vicinity of Eureka. having COM
pleted a survey from Leola to Eureka.
West of Eureka difficulties were en-
countered in the shape of hills and a
lot of time has been spent in locating
the best line through them. The
Eureka Blade says that one route has
been surveyed through the hills and
that the surveyors are now working
on another. The Blade surmises that
there is more than a blnff behind the
work or they would not be SO anxious
to secur the best possible route. The
proposed line stops only when it
reaches the river.

VX THEN she was very little girl she
\" began her enthusiasms upon her
dolls. One day she dearly loved
Arabella and hated Araminta. The next
day when Arabella was consigned to the
far corner, Araminta reigned supreme in
her child's heart.
There were those who said that she was
tickle; and although she did not, under
stand exactly what they meant by the
word she was dimly conscious that it
carried opprobrium with it. She resented
the accusation when she did come to have
an inkling of its real meaning. For in her,
own consciousness she knew that she had
been really and sincerely attracted by
Arabella's golden curls until Araminta's $
blue eyes had exercised a later fascina-
ton.
And ever since those days of dolls she
has gone from one enthusiasm to another
with the airy inconsequence of butterfly
fitting from flower to flower. She i'm
presses on any one whom she can corral
as listener the fact that she is inter-
ested, heart and soul, in whatever this
fancy of the moment may be. Perhaps,
for that matter, the butterfly has the
same interest in the flower.
Not long ago she was engrossed in the
old English drama At a reception she
talked to one little woman for exactly
twenty minutes on the influence of one
Ralph Royster- -Doyster on Shakespeare.
''who was Ralph Royster- -Doyster?"
asked the little woman at the end of the
discourse. WAS he a friend of Shakes
peare?"
erhe contemptuous glance the exponent
of the old English drama gave the un-
enlightened one was sufficient to send her

CONCERNING
THE CLOCK.

~ I'D you ever take time to consider
the clock? You should have done so
IL IL you have not seeing the clock
gives you the time whenever you ask it.
(No, this is no joke 1t is a plain state
ment of fact.)
The clock is so sensitive that it con-
stantly keeps its hands before its face.
This is due to the fact that through no
fault of its own it has been doing time for
many years in the most public manner.
It may be that as the face of the clock
has no eyes. nor mouth, nor nose, nor
chin, nor cheeks, nor any of the usual
facial appurtenances. 1t keeps its hands
over 1t to hide these defects. But this
can scarcely be. we fancy, because its
hands have no fingers nor thumbs, nor
has It any arms, and any attempt to con-
ceal one defect would only expose an
other.
Most clocks have only two hands. but
many have three, and it is somewhat re-
markable, anatomically as well as nu-
merically, that the third hand is the
second hand. 1t may also be remarked
that the minute hand is not the minute
hand, for it is longer than the hour
hand.
The clock has neither feet nor legs, but
it runs just the same. 1t may be fast or
slow. but it does not walk. 1t always
runs, and 1t never runs up. 1t runs
down unless it is kept running round.
Providence wisely did not give feet to the
clock.
The clock has a key, but no lock, and
H. ~
person never tries to open a clock with
the key.
Some clocks strike and some do not but
no clock ever strikes with its hands.
Just why clock should be so peculiar
is no affair of ours.
(Of course this is no joke. The striking
of clock may be an affair of hours. but
it is not spelled the same way. We are
not trying to be funny. This is q dignifled
article Please do not interrupt us again.
That passage in Scripture which says
'By their works shall you know them
does not refer to clocks, but 1t might well
have done so, because that is the way q
good clock is known.
The clock speaks universal language
and no matter whether it is a German
clock or French or Spanish or italian, II
can tell you the time just as distinctly
as If it were plain Yankee.
The clock differs from all other human
affairs in that while their operations end
when they are wound up, the clocks dc
not begin until they are wound up.
There are no clocks, in heaven, because
there is no time there. Neither Is there
any night and an eight-day clock would
! not know when to stop.

THE ENTHUSIAST
By Dorothy Fenimore

to the public library with the laudable
intention of discovering the identity Of
the gentleman in question. After she had
made out that Ralph" was one of the
earliest English comedies she searched
and miracle plays in order to impress the
maiden with her knowledge.
But the enthusiast was fairly scintillat-
ing with the delight of horseback riding
when fortune next placed her in the path
of the little woman; and the latter has
never had chance to show that hardly
acquired knowledge. For the latter has
passed from equestrianism to Buddhism,
from political economy to golf, from Ibsen
to cooking school, from occult science to
law; but she has never returned to the old
English drama.
And so they go from day to day, these
ENTHUSIASTS, always just touching upon
the rim of every pursuit, every interest
that the workers of the world find real.
They are far more earnest than they are
given credit for. 1t may be that they are
seekers for congenial sphere Of activities
and that, failing to find 1t. they must
search the world, restless spirits OF the
mental universe.
They always impress the casual OBJ
server with their devotion to their fad
of the moment. He is likely to believe
them charming on the occasion of the
first meeting and terrible bores on the
fifth. But he must needs admire the con-
slant optimism that is theirs in expect
ing to find in each new field what they
ct fInI -Il
day they may find 1t. Here's wishing
them luck; and may they tell us once.
and once only, how they came to attain it.

FELLOW WHO NEVER TRIED.

A song for the fellow who stanchly tries
And never surrenders to doubt.
Who does what he may ere the moment hie>,
Though the effort may end In rout-
His way may be strewn with the wrack OF time.
The failures each year supplies.
But be sure IN the end he will higher climb
Than the fellow who never tries.
On, the road to success Is hard old road.
And the best Of Us stumhles Oft
And may not heed what our doubts torbode
II the banner we'd bear aloft-
We have lost somewhat on the weary way.
And often In pain we've cried.
But the only loser at close OF day
Is the fellow who never tried.
Then here's to the fellow who does his best.
Whatever that best may be,
Who meets each day with a newborn sest,
Though the ghost OF success may Zee.
For VIXEN IT comes TO the inal sum
BY never mortal de6ed.
To the untouched mark he win nearer coma
Than the fellow who never tried.
