A "Rainy Day.
Treat

When the Folsoms were children
there were seven OF them, their
mother conceived the idea OF giving
them what she called "a rainy-day
treat" They lived two miles from
school. and often in the course OF the
year a storm kept them housed. That
meant trying day for the older folk,
for seven healthy children could over
run the place, and leave no quiet cor
ner for reading or writing or talking.
So the never-tired mother would set
on foot a corn-popping, or an apple
roasting, or charade party, or a pic
ture-pssting "bee." or aspelling-school,
or a candy-pull. Whatever the treat"
was. mother was the leading spirit in
1t, and every child had good time,
and helped the others to do the same.
Many years passed over the happy
family. One by one they left the old
farm, until no one was left but dear
Aunt Eunice," as everybody called
her--the good angel of many a family,
although she had no children Of her
own. Living alone in the old house
she was not free from lonely longings
for the merry days Of childhood and
youth.
Out of the homesick desire for kins.
folk she could no longer call about
her, grew her plan "a rainy-day treat"
OF her own. Whenever storm shut her
In, she set about contrlying some un-
expected pleasure for somebody. Once
It was along letter to poor old Betty
Sweet, who was in the almshouse at

longed for news OF her former neigh

and packed a generous box of 1t for
the Widow Drown, to whom no one
had given package of sweets since
she was girl.
She knitted bright scarlet sweater
for Dick Toy, halfwitted boy whose
mother could scarcely find food Tor
his mouth, much less clothes for his
back. She selected and packed off q
bundle of books for Mary Flint, kept
in bed for three month by broken
hip, and eager for reading to pass the
long, slow days. One day she spent
in writing to the minister a note of
thanks for his last Sundays sermon,
and to the sexton a word Of apprecia-
tion for the thorough cleaning he had
given the church.

The general plan is to bear down
on president that is popular among
the representatives of great wealth.
If it be possible for a senatorial cabal
to restore the old order of things, it
will be done and if done it will be
clearly in opposition to the demands
of the millions behind the executive.
The senatorial conspiracy is center.
ing itself upon Taft, because it is
presumed that he is in full accord
with the policies of Mr.. Roosevelt.
There is no pronounced demand for
the candidacy of Mr.. Taft. He has
hardly been considered outside the
fears of the senate But the tendency
to discredit him and his works is
likely to give him more prominence
than be would otherwise acquire
when it becomes understood that he
is to be prosecuted on account of the
intentions Of his superior.
The nation has men more fully
tried than Mr. Taft and if the nation
goes into con vention in a sane mooo
it will see that man who is certain
to carry out and improve upon the
work inaugurated by Mr.. Roosevelt
is placed in the white house, in spite
of the efforts of senators to halt the
reform that promises better govern
ment. Sioux Falls Press.

The machine cry is that "our state
educational institutions are not in
politics" The board of regents fired
Heston from the agricultural college
for incompetency; hired Chalmers to
fill Heston's place; rehired Heston,
the incompetent, as president of the
state normal; fired Chalmers from
the college for incompetency, or to
make room for pet named Akely;
hired Chalmers, the incompetent, as
president of the state university to
take the place of Droppers, incompe-
tent, or past his days of usefulness;'
fired Chalmers, now certainly incom-
petent, and rehired Droppers as
president of the university. All this
occurred within two years aud most
of it at one sitting OF the board. To
say that the board acted thusly, free
political influence, speaks volumes
az to the incompetency, not to say
imbecility, of the board of regents
1t would naturally be expected that
men of average ability, having in
their hands the welfare of our stlte
educational institutions, which are
maintained atgreat expense, would
use ordinary judgement and caution
