annually for. forty years. The light.
house was begun in 1888 and took six
years to complete, the cost being
fS6,977. 1t will always be interesting,
if only for the fact that it was erected
by Robert Louis Stevenson's uncle,
Alan, who followed the method adopt
ed by his father, Robert, in the Bell
lighthouse. The Skerryvore lighthouse
IS 1884 feet high; it is AZ feet in diam.
eter at the base and 16 feet at the top.
The light, which is a revolving one,
can be seen at distance Of 1872 nauti,

rock which is about ID feet above
high-water mark. This is the largest
rock above water of the whole chain

unwarrantable intrusion! If you do not

It was the third day since Polling left
Ethel, and this was his wife's greeting.
He had had long battle with himself;
but duty had been triumphant, and his
mind once made up he was not to be dis
couraged by few bitter words.
THAT is not necessary. OF course I
will leave you; but you will not refuse
to answer me one or two questions
first?"
ASK your questions then, and, if I
choose to answer them, will. If don't
choose, / will not. But, for heavens
sake, get over them quickly.'
Twill you tell me something Of our
child, PaulineY" he asked.
She sprung up with a look of desper-
ate fright on her face.
How dare you come here to brow
beat me Ike thisT' she exclaimed, ve-
hemently; and then she sank back on the
couch again. But, after pause, she
said quietly enough: .You have touched
my one weak point. OF course you have
to hear what there is to tell. My baby
was born weakly little thing. l had
hard work to keep body and soul together

Cattle for Sale.

We want to cali your attention
to the fact that at Rarid City, Mr..
Corbin Morse, who represents US
in that section, has at the present
time in his possession very good
string of cows and young heifers
and steers, which cattle he has wins
tered in South Dakota and are now
for sale. The cattle will be sold in
lots to suit and are particularly de.
sirable on account OF their having
been wintered in Dakota.
In regard to the young steer
movement from the southwest, OH
occonnt of the possibility Of late
storms we have thought best not ID
ship up many steers from this sec.
tion until late in May, so if you are
going to buy steers you can depend
on finding them at Rapid City in Mr..
Morse's pastures, where he has en-
tire charge Of them, about May 20th
to June LIST, at which time we would
be glad TO haye you go there and
make your purchases, and We assure
you that we will have the best lot nj
Steers up there we have ever shipped
north, at moderate prices. and it
wills be well for you to visit Mr..
Morse. II you want she cattle you
had better 60 at once.
We will be glad to hear from you
and hope you will take advantage of
this opportunity to make your pUr-
chases. Yours truly,

The statehood bill, on which
SO much intrigue, oratory and
diplomacy have been expended,
has at last passed both houses
Of congress and been signed by
the president. Justice has been
done to Arizona by permitting
that territory to vote on the ac-
ceptance of joint statehood with
New Mexico. Undoubtedly the
vote will be against the propos-
ition and Arizona will remain a
territory, which is just what the
inhabitants desire until they
are ready to ask for admission
on their own merits.

There seems to be no doubt
that the packers are not going
to give up to the privilege Of
selling us dirty meat products
without a struggle. This has
been pretty we'll shown by the
attitude of the investigating
committee who cross-examined
the governments experts as a
prosecuting attorney would han
die criminal on the stand. AL
SO the house meat bill is any
thing but satisfactory in it's
terms, and the president has
frankly said so. There are GER
tainly some powerful influences
at work in congress to defeat
the passage of a satisfactory
meat inspection bill, but the ul-
innate end is sure to be a tri-
umph for the people.

The Endorsement of Mr..
Bryan as the coming Demo
cratic nominee for president has
in it something of the element
of a joke. A portion of the
same element that so violently
opposed him as unsafe in '96 IS
now putting him forward, fear
ing less his theoretical reform
than the practical reform that
for want of a better name we
call Rooseveltism. Some strange
situations are possible in poll
tics but there could hardly be a
stranger than the backing of
Mr.. Bryan's candidacy by the
Standard Oil Company and the
beet trust. All Of which we
may live to see.
