There is a possibility of the pri-
mary law being the undoing of Con-
gresham Hall, now that Wilbur
Glass has announced himself as a
candidate for congress. Under the
convention system there is no aues-
tion but that Mr.. Hall would be
accorded a second nomination, but
where the voters have the ncmina-
ton in their own hands it will give
Glass an opportunity to win out that
he otherwise would not have. 1t will
be lively in the nolth part of the
state next year.

Senator Kittredge is home for the
summe months. In June the sena-
tor will entertain Secretary Taft in
Sioux Falls for a day or two while
the big secretary is enroute to a tip
to the Black Hills country. Tue
presence of secretary Taft in Sioux
Falls doubtless will mean something
of a gathering of the politicians, for
the presidential attitude of the
secretary will without doubt be an
incentive for the leading men OF the
state to make a pilgrimage to the
Queen City.

Under Amusement.

A newly elected squire in Wisconsin
was much elated by his honors. but
was not sure that he could carry them
gracefully. says a writer in the New
York Sun. SO he haunted the court
house to gather stray crumbs of wis
dom from higher courts which sat
there.
One day he sat in judgment on his
first case. and when the testimony was
all in and the arguments made he said:
"The court takes this case under ad-
visement until next Wednesday. when
1t will render a verdict in favor of the
defendant."-Youth's Companion.
