The engagement between a
wealthy Baltimore belle and an i'm
pecunious clubman of that city was
at one time last winter perilously
near the breaking off point and all
by reason of the unfortunate mis-
take of florists assistant Of whom
the young man had ordered flowers
for his beloved. 1t appears that the
young fellow had hastily dispatched
to the florists establishment two
cards, one bearing an order for roses
to be sent to the young lady's adj
dress and the other intended to be
attached to the flowers. What was
the establishment and Indignation
of the beloved one when, on taking
the" roses from their boxes, she
found affixed the card bearing the

/ 1t is the kind of work in which a
man is engaged which determines
f@ him the special meaning of the
term efficiency" The success of
his efforts may depend upon the
quantity of his output or it may de-
pend upon its quality. Quality!
Quantity Upon these two hang all
the laws of efficiency.
For each of US it is possible to in
crease the duration of his best mo-
ments and to render them more fire.
quent. It is also possible for us to
reduce the numAer and the length
of those periods of depression and
low vitality when our work miscar-
ries and our lives lack snap and en-
thusiasm. If we succeed in bringing
about such change we shall have
raised the whole plane of our living
to something higher and more ad-
mirable. Our work will be produc-
tive of results that would otherwise
have been quite beyond our reach.
There are conditions for each in
dividual under which he can do the
most and the best work. It is his
business to ascertain those condi-
tons and to comply with them.
It is useless for the nervous, high
strung, quickly fatigued man to try
to live by the same programme as
his phlegmatic, even tempered
neighbor. The conditions under
which the two men produce the best
results are not identical. The man
who can't work at his best until aft
er a long period of warming ought
to stick to his job, when once he has
got it, as long as he can keep up to
the high grade level. That is the
only real economy for him. On the
other hand, the man who accom-
pGshes most when he works by
spurts and takes intervals of play
between times ought not to feel
that he is dong wrong when he
gives up initiating the steady work
man. System and continuous driv-
ing decrease, not increase, his eff
fciency. Both men can do high
grade work, but not under the same
conditions
Every man ought to discover the
special conditions of his own best
work and try to make such condi-
tons for himself in so far as he can.
Otherwise there is a waste some
where. Nothing is gained and much
is lost through trying to run every
body through the same mold

Disarmed.

There is a frank honesty which
cannot be made ridiculous although
it be an acknowledgment of igno-
rance. 1t was an honesty that Lin
coin used, and an anecdote of him in
the Century shows how with it he
once disarmed a learned opponent
who had overwhelmed him with
quotations.
Lincoln was not a learned man,
but for true knowledge he had the
highest respect. The practicing
lawyer with his pseudo learning,
however, was a fair target for Lin
coin. One such lawyer, in order to
impress his hearers and to embar-
rass his opponent, quoted massively
a Latin maxim.
as that not so, Mr.. Lincoln ?" he
asked.
eff that is Latin" Lincoln re-
sponded dryly, q think you had bet
ter call another witness"
Probably the jury hailed the
frank young lawyer as their own
champion, since he professed him
self as ignorant as they.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is inham-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

FRIDAY MARCH I, 1907.
COULDBE BUILT CHEAPLY.

It is claimed by competent engl-
neers that the proposed railroad
FROM Matamoros to Tampico and
from the latter place to Mexico
City would be less expensive to
build than any railroad in the en-
tire republic of Mexico. The grade
Erom Matamoros to Tampico would
be only two-tenths per cent per
mile, which is an exceedingly low
percentage, and there are no engi-
neering difficulties whatever along
this entire distance, while from
Tampico to Mexico City the great
est grade would be only 285 per
cent, and that over a short division
only. The'recent development 60
ing on in Northern Tamaulipas, I'M
der the Sautefia. or Noriega, syn
dictate will probably hasten the
building of this line, and will
make it at the outset one of the
most important lines in Mexico.
The fact that so much capital is
already invested along the route
of the proposed line assures its
FINAL consummation, and, in fact,
there is good reason to believe that
1t will follow closely on the con-
Struction of the bridge across the
Rio Grande at this point. Whether
1t will be a part of the newly pro-
.Jected Lott railroad, or of the ST.
Louis, Brownsville and Mexico, or
of some Mexican line, cannot be
said at present. It has long been
a pet project of Colonel Lofts to
connect Brownsville and Tampico
by rail, and it is not improbable
that he will be the man who builds
this important line. But, whoever
may do the work, it may be con-
sidered assured that with the pre-
sent trend of events in Tamaulipas,
and especially in connection with
the bridge project, the line from
Matamoros to Tampico is going to
be built before long.

MURDERS BY ROAD AGENTS.
Period In Montana When a Reign Of
Terror Prevailed.

Terror Prevailed.
The discovery up to the fall of
1863 Of no less than 10 bodies of
victims of the road agents finally
aroused the feelings of the law abid-
ing citizens to a pitch of frenzy.
They felt that the mysterious dis
appearance of many other men
whom they had known was to be
traced to the bandits. Scores of
miners who had set out with large
sums of money for various places
had never been heard of and had
never reached their destination.
Murders occurred daily, almost
hourly. Had there been the most
perfect system of legal procedure
time would not have permitted of
the orderly trials of offenders, so
frequent were the crimes. Alder
gulch continued to disgorge its
treasure in a steady stream, and the
very excess of its bounty excited the
most selfish passions of men. The
heart of a man possessed with the
thirst for gold is like the country
where gold is produced-it is wild
and barren, and the flowers wither.
1t must not be supposed that dur
ing these long months of sickening
dread and doubt attempts had not
been made to organize justice. Rude
courts were established, and the
guilt or innocence of offenders
submitted to regularly chosen ju-
ries, but the staggering outlaws
would boldly force their way
through the lines of spectators and
into the presence of the qualified
twelve men, announcing their de-
termination to avenge upon every
one connected with the case any
verdict other than acquittal Wit
nesses and jurors under these cir
cumstances were afraid of their
lives, and justice miscarried until
the outlaws, seeing the blanch of
fear everywhere, were supreme. In
the early stages of this reign of ter
Tor some of the road agents had
been tried, found guilty and con-
demned to death by unanimous
vote, but, as in the case of the muir
derers of Dillingham;, between con-
viction and punishment motions to
reconsider had been interviewed,
and the vacillating mob, through
fear of relenting doubt, had revoked
the action of the previous hour

What Caused The
: Recent Earthquakes.

Through all geologic, time,
water, always water, has been both
builder and destroyer. Water has
piled the mountains up and ground
them down again with storm and
glacier. pulverizing the debris,
sitting and separating sand from
pebble, and stone from bowlder;
cutting deep cafions in the rock,
laying out the plain, throwing is
lands into the sea, and giving con-
tinents new coast lines.
Water, too, was the original, ar
chitect of the earth's crust. The
first rivers that flowed upon the
earth's surface were red hot. Ora
mite dissolved in those floods like
sugar in a cup of tea. Deep down
under the earth's crust to-day,
where water has entered through
faults, to be entlapped and highly
heated, with no room for expan-
sion, it dissolves the rock. Con-
sequently, when the eruption of a
volcano takes place, relieving the
pressures in the deep passages
under it, there is rush toward the
outlet, of streams of incandescent
water made syrupy with stone in
solution. Then portions of the
earth's crust, which have been rest
ing upon a support of steam under
dynamite pressures, naturally sag
and shift when those pressures are
removed or materially lessened.
The earth S surface then assumes
new levels, this adjustment result
ing in earthquakes.
The vast amount of solid matter
elected at times from volcanoes is
difficult of comprehension. The
great volcano Krakatoa had been
extinct for ages when in 1888 its
top blew off with a shock felt clear
through the earth, and with a
blast that sent a wave of air around
the earth three times, while the
fine volcanic dust did not entirely
settle out of the atmosphere for
more than two years, as was in
Dictated by the unusually brilliant
display of red sunsets. This was
the greatest volcanic eruption in
in historic time. The distance is
not too great nor the time too re-
mote for the eruption of Mount |
Pelee to have caused the earth
luakes of San Francisco, Valparaiso
and Kingston, while possibly |
Vesuvious. may have played a |
part.-Hudson Maxim in

THE latest analyses of sugar cane
from the Blalack plantation which
have just been received from
Louisiana and one also from the
u. S. department of agriculture
show this cane to contain an even
greater amount of sucrose matter
than any samples yet analysed.
This report, which will be pub
Iished in THE HERALD in day or
two, is claimed to show a result
which surpasses even the famous
Hawaiian cane, heretofore consid-
cred the richest in pure sucrose of
any cane in the world. As soon
as obtained, the figures showing
the comparative sucrose content of
Hawaiian cane will bepublished.

LIMIT CITY TO TWO SALOONS.
State and County Legal Departments
to Act.

Attorney General Clark, while at
Pierre a few days ago, visited Fort
Pierre to look over the situation in
regard to the licensing of four saloons
In that town, which is entitled to but
two under the provision of chapter
ia of the Laws of 1907.
When the applications were made
for licenses, they were all from men
who had been operating in the town,
and all of whom were property own
ers. Neither the county commission
ers o the council of Fort Pierre
cared to decide the respective claims,
and granted the four licenses.
States Attorney Hughes of Stanley
county does not intend to let the mat
ter &c in that manner, and if he starts
actions he will have the assistance
of the state legal department in case
he desires it.
Just in what the suit will
be brought is an open question as be-
tween the different methods available,
but no doubt suit will be brought in
some form against the last two
licenses granted, and in this suit the
law will be given a test on all its
points, and other towns can be gov
erned by the result of the suit.

Indian Relics.
The State Historical society, ever
since its organization, has been col
lectlng relics of the Sioux and earlier
indian inhabitcnts of South Dakota.
This has been largely increased by the
presentation by DR.. De Lorme w. Rob-
mson OF his entire museum of Sioux
indian trophies which he has been
years In collecting at a heavy expense
In cash and time. The collection con-
slsts of clothing and ornaments. pipes.
games, implements, pottery and relics
OF the stone age. This collection will
pc preserved in the museum of the
society as the DE Lorme w. Robinson
indian museum" and to this will be
ADDED the specimens already owned
by the society and received from
other sources. DR.. James Walker of
PlnesRidge, the author Of a work on
the games of the Sioux, now is get
ting together a complete outfit of the
paraphernalia of Sioux games for
presentation to the society, and it is
hoped to build up here the most pre-
sentative museum of Indian relics in
existence.

WIFE MAY KEEP LAND.
Hitchcock Says Husbands Legal Resi-.

By one of the most important de-
cisions this year the secretary of the
interior has just declared that a wife
who has taken up homestead land
prior to her marriage may maintain
her title to the land, even though her
husband makes his legal residence
elsewhere. The decision was in the
case Of Mrs. Augusta Raymond Of
Whitewood, who has been fighting two
years to hold her land. David Per-
kins of the same place contested her
right to the land on the ground that
Der legal residence was with her hus-
band, who is employed in another Sec
ton of the country. The land office
at Rapid City decided against the
woman, as did the commissioner Of
the land office at Washington, but her
attorney appealed the case to Secre-
tary Hitchcock personally. and has
just been notified of the decision that
will make an important precedent for
future cases.

Imbued with the sentiments enun-

propaganda against race suicide, James
Madison, a wealthy cattleman of Butte

unqualified Endorsement of the stork
In his last will and testament. In this

within two years Of the date of the
probate of the will, provide himself
with a wife. Within the next ten
years the legatee, in order to inherit
the estate left by his father, must have
accumulated a family of no fewer than
four children.
The instrument provides that the
estate shall be held in trust for the
sons for ten years, and at the end of
that period it shall be divided equally
among those who have complied with
the conditions imposed.
Any son who shall have failed to

Banner Used at First "Fourth" 10
Given to Historical Society.
Henry 1. Stearns of Medary has pre-
sented the state historical society with
the flag which was floated over the
first Fourth of July celebration in the
upper Sioux Valley on the Fourth of
1873. When the settlers begun to pre-
pare for their celebration they found
they had no flag for use Oh the occa-
sion, and the one now in the posses
sion of the society was manufactured
for the occasion. The red stripes were
made from al old scarf. and the white
ones from a petticoat donated for the
purpose by one Of the women of the
party. The field was made by paint
ing a piece of white cloth blue, after
blocking out the stars, which were
left implanted. The banner is four by
seven feet in size. With the flag was
an old pair of blacksmith tongs, which
were brought to Medary by the first
settlers in 1857, and which were with
other articles cached when the party
was driven out by Indians. Later set.
tiers opened the cache and took he
articles inclosed.

BOARD SPENDS WISELY.
Big Lump Of State Institution Func
Isn't Used.

Through the courtesy of w. b. Tip
ton of Mitchell, secretary of the board
of charities and corrections, some in
teresting facts and figures have been
cleaned from the records of his Office
relative to the conditions of the vari-
IL penal and charitable institutions
Of the state. At the close of the fiscal
year, June 80, 1907, the population of
the various institutions Of the state
:vas as follows:
Training school, P%lankinton, 81
males, IA females, total II; feeble.
minded school, Redfeld, SO males, Sc
females, total 1925; school for blind,
Gary, 80 males, ~ females, total AZ;
school for deaf mutes, Sioux Falls. 80
males, SO females, total 10; peniten-
tiary, Sioux Falls, $50 males. Q fe-
males, total 1872; hospital for insane,
Yankton, 430 males, 243 females, total,
67S.
This makes a total Of 1,16S people of
the derelict and defective classes in
this state out of a population Of less
than a half million people, and it is
an exceedingly low ratio as compared
with other states. There are some
thing more than 200 of the feeble-mind.
/ ed and blind and deaf classes in the
! state who are not In the institutions.
Financially the board has made an
excellent showing during the year. OF
the money under the control of the
board for running the institutions for
the year $63,S59.7S was saved and GOV
cred back into the state treasury, and.
better still, the institutions as regards
have never been in better condition
all of which reflects the wisdom of
having a strong and experienced board
at the head of this arm of the state
government. This indicates a radical
change in the management of the in.
stitutions, for the time was in this
state when the funds every year in the
institutions not only were used up to
the last dollar but the legislature was
besieged for deficiency appropriations
This has all been changed under the
present management, and it is some
thing for which the people of the
state have to be thankful.
The board has met with considera
BILE difficulty in securing help at the in
stitutions, and at the present time nc
less than fifteen people could secure
employment at the hospital for the in
sane at Yankton. Wages have been
repeatedly raised at Yankton, we are
informed, as at others, but this does
not entirely give relief.
New buildings are being constructed
at the penitentiary, at the school fo1
deaf mutes and at the insane hospital
for each of which special appropria
tions were made by the last legisla
ture. The construction of a Irvine
plant at the penitentiary is being
pushed forward as rapidly as possible
and when this is completed and in one
ration farming will be practically elm
mated from that institution.

FEES ARE CLERKS OWN.
Vital Statistics. Collection Carries Re-.
Enumeration.

Enumeration.
The legislature of last winter, in
chapter 240 OF the Session Laws,
makes clerks of courts ex-oficio super
intendents Of vital statistics, and re-
quires certain duties of them in re-
gard to the collection of such stats.
tics, providing a scale of fees for
each service.
In Lawrence county, Clerk of Courts
Starr claimed these fees as his own in
addition to any other gsalary, which
contention on his part was not adj
mitted by the county commissioners.
The matter was submitted to Attorney
General Clark, who holds that these
duties are extra official, and as such
entities the official called upon to per
form them to the fees for the service
in addition to any other pay he may re
ceive.
In the Lawrence county case the
fees amounted to several hundred dol.
lars, and while in most counties of
the state they will be small, each
clerk will find that they make an addi.
ton to his former salary.
