MISS KROUT'S TALK
ON JOSEPH CONRAD

The fourth talk in Miss Krout's
course on modern authors was deliver
ed at Mrs. c. H. Cookies on Friday
afternoon, at three o'clock. The sub
ject was Joseph Conrad" an author
deserving to rank amongst the first of
living writers, but whose fame is far
from being in proportion to his deserts.
Before touching upon her topic di-
rectly. Miss Krout reviewed a recent
criticism in the Atlantic Monthly, In
which Conrad had been damned" with
faint praise" his future place in liter
allure questioned as We'll as his Won
derful and unique genius. She dwelt
upon the history of many of the best
English writer's, showing how each had
suffered at the hands of such self-con-
stltuted arbiters, the public largely
accepting their decisions as final. Con-
RAIDS history-what little is known of
twas briefly sketched. He is a ma
tive of Poland, and is now fifty years
of age. His name really is, Joseph
Conrad korZeniowski. His father was
writer and q poet, and his mother
was also writer on political subjects,
aiding her husband in the publication
of revolutionary Journal for which
she was exiled to Siberia. Either be-
cause he wished to remove himself
from the political unrest of Poland,
or Ito satisfy his love of adventure -
Conrad-who dropped his surname
left his native land and went to Eng
land at the age of eighteen. There he
shipped as a sailor before the mast,
following the sea until he had risen
to the post of Master Mariner. He
did not learn English until he was
eighteen years of age, and the force
and vigor of his diction was said to be
due to the fact that his chief text book
was King James version of the Bible.
But little was known of his life be-
yond his mere calling; of his habits,
his manners. his popularity of mind
and character, nothing at all.
1t is demanded, tAe speaker said, that
the writer today shall gather his ma
terials from the four quarters of the
globe. Scott sat in his study at Alb
botsford and gave the world the
Waverley novels: Charlotte Bronte,
when she wrote Jane Eyre had scarce
ly been out of the dreary Yorkshire
hamlet where her whole life was prac-
ucally spent. Nowadays, the novelist
fares him forth in search of adventure
and local" color. Conrad had drawn
upon worldwide resources for his
books-China, the Malay archipelago
depicting the Malay as he is, with fine
and noble traits-the far reaches OF
the Congo river and Central Africa
the West Indies and, last of all. South
America
The list of his books was given in
chronological order: "Almayer's Fol-
| ly," published in 1895; AN Outcast OF
the Islands, in 1896; 1.-THE Children OF
the Sea-" 1897; TALES of Unrest" 1898;
Lord jim 1900: THE Inheritors, .
1901; YOUTH" 1902; "Typhoon,'' 1908;
Romance" 1908; Zone Day More, u
| 1905; .'Nostromo," 1906. Conrad had
always been a prodigious reader, and
in all modern languages. He did not
begin his literary work until compare

A FEELING TRIBUTE To
THE MEMORY Of DR.. DAY

Senator Smith made the principal ad-
dress at the University Clubs unveil-
ing of the portrait of it's late president,
DR.. F. R. Day. The Senator said:
We meet to think and speak of one
whom in his lifetime we loved and
now whose memory we delight to
honor.
''All of us present knew DR.. Francis
r. Day. but some of us knew him
longer and had opportunity to know
him more intimately. 7 knew DR.. Day
for about twenty years and for seven
teen years he was our family physf-
clan, and for the period of six years,
when with the Board of Health, I had
special opportunity to learn of his at
tainments and worth. Whether in the
lone watches with the life of the pa
tent in his keeping, or with great re-
sponsibility in an epidemic menacing
the whole community, or at Quarantine
Island wrestling with contagious dis
eases which might become epidemic, or
in perilous times during the political
changes, he was ever undaunted. New
er Wanting himself, but always gentle
and unassuming. he was a strong man
in his profession and his personal char
acter.
DR. Day was lively and pleasant
in his life and with his memory and
this portrait before US, we will not be
divided from him. This will be a con-
slant reminder of courteous conduct

Tell me not, in mournfuI numbers,

And things are not what they seem.

Il know that Dr. Day would not wish
me to express all that I feel in my

no apologies are required.

A Musical Treat.

With the "Uncle Josh
Spruceby" company which
comes to the Libary Hall for
one night only Jan 4. is the
celebrated Spruceby orchestra
Of eight soloists. This musical
organization has a world wide
reputation and is under the di-
recton of a talented leader and
composer Of note. A very pop
ular program is rendered be-
tween acts. A big band is
carried by the company, and a
novel and unique parade is given
at noon daily and includes a
concert by the band. A car
load of special scenery and me-
chanical effects are used. The
realistic saw mill scene is one of
the most startling pieces of stage
craft ever produced. Twenty
people are in the company
which is the largest production
ever before produced at popular
prices.

the nav management. These
gentlemen. by the way, have
that confdencein in the future of
Rapid City-their only guaran-
tee for return-that gives to
them a bank security on their
Investment, so to speak.
The work on the renovation
and refurnishing of the hotel
will begin at once, and it's COM
pletion and general opening
will occur early in March of this
year when a free opening and
reception banquet will be given
to the citizens of Rapid City,
the date of which has not yet
been fixed, but which will be duly
announced. 1t is probably that
this banquet will be succeeded
by an old fashioned quadrille
party in the new dining and re-
ception rooms. There will be
music, at all events, at all Sun

that the New Harney will be

The popular company Of the

Theatre on New Years night,
presenting a Might OFF," This
popular and we'll known comedy
was pulled off by this little
bunch of players to a house
with standing room only. The
situations in this skit are well
known to the theatre-going
public of Rapid City, and the
rendition Of the piece alto
gether, was the appreciative
talk Of the town all the next
day after the play. The Fisher
Company are artists, all Of
them, and their popularity in
the Hills is in every way de-
served. The company left here
to fill dates in the eastern part
of the state and will return early
in the spring. There has been

New Form Of Postage Stamp

A dispatch from Washington
states postage stamps of the is
sue of 1907, put on sale at
5000 presidential post offices,
will bear on their face the name
of the state and city in which
the post Office is located.
The chief reason for this in
novation is said at the postoHice
department to be the belief that
it will help do away with the big
postoffice robberies and make it
much easier to trace criminals.
The postoffice robbery in
Chicago, few years ago, is a
good example of the ease with
which stolen postage stamps
can be disposed of, for no trace
OF Che perpetrators was ever dis
covered, although nearly $l0OO,-
600 worth Of stamps were
stolen.
Another reason for the
change is to enable the post
office department. to determine
he amount of business done by
the different postoffices and pre-
vent padding through stamps
sold at some Offices to residents
who do businss in adjoining
cities.

H0R][ Th|[f CAUGHT
JOHN JOHNSON P1NCHED AT
CHADRON
PLEADS INNOCENCE Of CRIME
Says He Bought Horses at Belle
Fourche and is Victim of
circumstances

circumstances
Following the disappearance
about a week ago or more of six
horses from the Russell pasture
north of the city, Sheriff Can
field has been on the alert to
run down, and to capture what
is presumed to be an organized
gang Of horse-thieves, who
seem to be working along the
lines and plans Of the old
"dirty- dozen Organization who
were well-known to South Da-
l1ota and Wyoming in the early
days.
On Saturday a wire sum-
moned the sheriff to Chadron
where an alleged horse thief
was being held on suspicion.
Upon his arrival there a man Of
the name of John johnson was
placedin his custody to bring
back Co Rapid City on the
charge of the larceny of six
horses. It appears that John
son had sold the string Of six.
horses to a horse dealer at OLE
richs for 1925, and that after
the purchase the purchaser had
become suspicious and had got
cold feet in way, and that he
thereupon warned the authori-
ties at Chadron to head off and
to hold three alleged horse
thieves, giving their description.
John johnson, the only man
to be found was, he said, on
els way to his home in Wayne,
Nebraska, to spend new years
with his home folks. Upon be-
ing apprehended he turned over
to the sheriff the money re-
ceived for the horses, declaring
that he was an innocent pur-
chaser of them in Belle
Fourche. The other two men,
one Of them, alleged to be a
younger brother of Johnson,
was not in sight, SO it was a
lone and sorrowful johnson
that came back to Rapid City
to spend New Years day in the
county jail and to answer to
the charge or larceny Of half
dozen horses.
The story Of johnson related
to the UNION reporter, who Wis
tied the county jail yesterday
is ii substance, that he and his
brother at the time that the
horses were stolen were up
.hnnt Relle Fourche looking
after the purchase Of some land,
and that he bought the horses
Of a supposed trader for 1925,
thinking them a good buy on
speculation. They, he and his
brother, started south with
them, he says, and when they
became tenderfo footed, he decided
to sell the buuch at a reasonable
profit at first offer, and subse
quently sold them at Oelrichs
