they were Successful, winning out
against Sioux Falls, after a very
active canvass OF two days, tut tho
Mitchell supporters never laid down
for a minute. The delegation said
that Watertown and Aberdeen sup
ported Mitchell loyalty in the work,
and a Sioux Falls report is to the
effect that the matchless eloquence
of Mayor Branson, when presenting
Mitchell's claims for the meeting,
clinched the convention for Mitchell.
The Mitchell representatives said
that the program put up by Aber-
deem was certainly a hummer and
that they kept the crowd interested
from morning until night both days
OF the convention.

their future and they contained
some very striking and appropriate
phrases. Miss Haynes was the

Nobis was the valedictorian, and it
is said that her farewell. expressed
in behalfof the other five, was a very
touching piece of literature. in
which she expressed the hope that
the time would come when the rest
would do likewise. and to watch and
wait for the opportunity, to grasp it
when it appeared and to always
be prepared.
Miss Noble presented the diplomas
to the quituates with some very

Getting Rid of 1t.

While Mrs. Russell Sage has not had
a large and varied experience in giving
away money, yet there is no danger
that she will be obliged to take lessons
from correspondence school in the art
of giving away q large fortune.
Thousands of persons, who know all
about 1t in theory, if not in practice,
will be willing to assist her either with
liberal advice or ablebodied help, pref
erably the latter
OF course, she may not take all of
the advice that is offered to her by
mail and otherwise, but if she prefers
to struggle along unaided with the task
that is her own lookout.
But if she doesn't find any way in
which she can use the proffered help, ii
is to be hoped that she will appreciate
the truly noble and self sacrificing
spirit in which it is offered by her
unknown wellwishers.

Hunor one Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
THE CHARM IN ART.

Pray. who would rave or raise a row
About the gentle bossy cow
If he should see the creature pass
Or pause to take q bite OF grass?
Z en- for herd OF eight or ten
He wouldn't turn his head again.
And vet TO see her done in OIL
With trees and bushes and some soil,
Beside a cool and limpid stream.
He'd pause and say it was . dream.
No matter II the price were high.
He'd pull his wallet out and buy.
An old and much time beaten shack
on which n man would turn his back
or pause TO wonder why the town
or some one did not tear il down,
A hovel he would hardly care
To will his favorite son and heir.
With not single window light
And not a streak Of paint in sight,
Were he to see IL in a frame
He'd have fit about the same.
To buy he would not hesitate.
Although II cost two-ninety-eight.
Some land for which he would not give
A dollar II he had to live
Upon its bare and barren sands
And make a living with his hands.
A bleak and quite forbidding spot.
Would strike his fancy like as not
If some bum artist took his paint
And framed up something he called
quaint
Some bushes and bunch Of grass
Would doubtless all the critics pass
And be, indeed. beyond a doubt.
A thing to make fuss about.
Oh, Art. il really is a shame
Things that are practieed in your naInel
But still an artist must supply
The things the people want TO buy.
