Unconscious Fraternity

Twenty years ago a discouraged
young doctor in one of our large
cities was visited by his old father,
who came up from a rural district
to look after his boy.
well, son. he said, chow are you
getting along?"
I'm not getting along at ALL" was
the disheartened answer. I'm not
doing a thing"
The old mans c~ountenance fell,
but he spoke of courage and patience
and perseverance. Later in the day
he went with his son to the Free
~Dispensary," where the young doc
tor had al unsalaried position, and
where he spent an hour or more ev-
cry day.
The father sat by, a silent but in
%tensely interested spectator, while
about twenty-five poor unfortunates
received help. The doctor forgot his
visitor, while he bent with skilled
energies to this task but hardly had
the door closed ON the last patient,
when the old man burst forth:
81 thought yo4 told me that you
were not doing anything! Why, if |
had helped twenty-five people in a
month as much as you have in one
morning, would thank God that my
life counted for something"
There isn't any money in it,
though" explained the son, some
what abashed.
Money!" the old man shouted,
still scornfully. Money. What is
money in comparison with being of
use to your fellow men? Never mind
about money; you go right along at
this work every day. Ill go back
to the farm, and gladly earn money
enough to support you as long as
llve-yes, and sleep soundly every
night with the thought that l have
helped you help your fellow men"

Considerable amusement was
once caused by a slip of Emperor

OF several companies of Siberian
militia, who volunteered for service
at the front. The petition read, 1--WE
humbly lay at your Majesty's feet
our desire to be permitted to. fight

WARM COUNTY SEAT FIGHT
Armour Will Have to Defend Her
Title to county Seat Location
by New Town of Corsica.

Armour, March 14.-Affairs are
squaring around for an interesting
county seat fight in this county at
the next general election. 1t is gem
orally rumored that Corsica will
make a fight to obtain the seat of
government a year hence. 1t is one
of the new towns on the Milwaukee
extension out of Armour, and geo.
graphically the center OF the county.
1t is only a short distance from old

of the county, but when the railroad
was built into Douglas county and
Armour established the records
were moved after two very bitter
fights characteristic of pioneer days.
Gradually the building in Grand

cepting a German church, which still
stands On the old site, but almost
within a stones throw has sprung up
the hustling little city of Corsica, af-

to contest with the once hated rival
of Grand View for the honor of hous-

Sow. Sew! So!
This is the way my father sows,
AS up and down the field he goes,
Walking fast, walking slow,
Right and left the grain to throw.
Father knows,
While he goes,
That the grain thrown here and there
BY and by good crops will bear;
All he loves will have a share,
If the grain he throws with ire
So he throws,
AS he goes,
Sow! Sow! Sow.
This is the way my mother sews,
AS up and down long ear she goes,
Working, singing soft and low,
While she's sitting there to sew,
Mother knows,
AS she sews
Jackets, trousers, aprons, too,
|Johnnie's hat and baby's shoe,
Patching old or making new,
Love runs all the stitches through.
i This she knows,
So she seWs,
Sew! Sew! Sew!
II can neither SOW nor sew,
But while little, as 1 grow,
Little bits of love I'll show.

AS l go,
Tending baby, calling Nan,
Running errands like a man,
Helping mother all l can,
Love will grow where it began.
All! l know,

Grandma's Berry Pie

/ like to go to grandma's when vaca-
ton days come round,
She lets me play out in the hay and
roll upon the ground;
She's good to little boys like me, and
gives 'em lots to eat,
And says she doesn't mind if a fell
lows tooth is sweet.
Her things are always Homemade"
and they're better than you
buy.
You ought to taste, for instance,
some of grandma's berry pie.
She keeps it in the pantry, way up
on the second shelf,
And when you're good she tells you,
you can go and help yourself;
I climb up on the barrel and cut a
great big slice,
And when the red juice oozes out,
my! doesn't it look nice?
I try to mind my p's and as, as
grandma says 1 should.
If your reward is berry pie, it pays
you to be good.
Some days l go a-fishin' in MacMur-
rays pool for pike,
And grandma fills my dinner-pail
with things she knows 1 like;
I bait my hook and throw it in and
uo{o1, +i11 I,, ~, H.,
l seem to grow real hungry for a
piece Of berry pie,
And as | sit upon the bank and wait
and wait and wait,
l wonder if the fish would bite with
grandma's pie for bait.

CHANGE IN Pos1MAsTERs
/. E. Wells Received Notice of His
Appointment as Postmaster of
City of Mitchell.

You We're appointed postmaster
of Mitchell today"
The above was the message which
James b. Wells received Thursday
from Congressman w. H. Par
ker at Washington. The
ment was received with satisfaction
among the friends of Mr.. Wells and
Who have been pushing his candi-
dacy feeling pretty sure of ultimate
success. Mr.. Wells has resided in
Mitchell since the early pioneer days
and is one of it's citizens who is iu-
terested in the growth and develop
ment of Mitchell, and his recogni-
lion by the new element in politics
in South Dakota is but fitting tor
the work which he did in the cam
paign last year. He is chairman o..
the republican county central corr
mittee and carried the county event
ually owe to the other side of re-
publican politics. He has been busy
today receiving the congratulations
Of his friends and they We're not all
confined to the insurgent wing of the
party either. 1t is believed that Mr..
Wells will give a good business ad-
ministration and that he will serve
the public in a very capable manner.
Mr.. Wells said it was a little too
early as yet to speak CT the deputy
postmaster, who will be selected in
due time.
The announcement of his appoint
ment as postmaster came with some
surprise after the strong encourage
ment Postmaster Bras received from
his friends in Washington, who as
sured him beyond all doubt that he
would be retained in his position UNI
til the December session of congress-.
That politics can take some queer
turns is only eNemplified once more.
Mr.. Bras had little to say with ref
renee to the appointment of his
successor, not understanding the sit
uation, since he received his appoint
ment by President Roosevelt.

CUBAN SCANDALS REVIVED.
Gen. Wood Is Once More in the Lime
light.

The evil that men do lives after
them. When Gen. Leonard Wood was
at the head of affairs in Cuba as the
representative of the Roosevelt adj
m~inistration, he was charged with the
worst species of grating in cOnnec-
ton with the Jai ALLAH gambling con-
Germ. In fact, he was charged with Of
fetal corruption. He was also charged
with exerting his power to enforce the
election of Palma to the presidency OF
the new republic, and with fraud in
that connection.
Now comes the Cuban revolution for
the overthrow of Palma; and its prln.
cipla stock-in-trade is the conspiracy
between Wood and Palma, and the
election frauds growing out OF Pal
mas ambition.
Now comes also Maj. Rathbone who
was Encouragement of posts under
Woods regime in Cuba, and who was
sometime ago convicted of crimes
most palpably committed in onnec
ton with postal affairs in the island.
and charges most emphatically that
Wood was guilty of the same prac.
tees for which he was convicted.
Rathbone has been for years trying to
obtain a congressional investigation.
but the friends of Roosevelt who is
Woods hacker, have thwarted his de-
signs, lest the scandal sure to be I'M
earthed should bring the president
into discredit for favoritism towards
a man charged with the most odious
of crimes-the crimes of bribery, r
ruption, and official injustice. II the
Democrats should win in the next
house of representatives. the Wood
Ease will, nc doubt, be carefully inves'
tigated in spite of Roosevelt.

THE STORY.

THE news of the defeat of the army
i of Israel in the preliminary Skin
mish with the Philistines had reached
Shiloh where the Tabernacle or Tenn
pie Of the Lord, as it was called,
stood. lorg before the messengers who
had been sent after the ark arrived, so
that when they came with breathless
haste to the city they were imme-
diatAly surrounded by an excited
throng who were eager to hear the
latest report. But without making
reply to the food Of questions, save
to say that Israel was preparing to
renew the conflict, they pressed on
toward the temple.
1--WE would see Hophni and 'Phine-
has" they demanded, impatiently of
the Levites in attendance, and in
their eagerness pressed on within the
entrance to the court which was be-
fore the temple.
Impressed by the evident urgency of
the case, the Levites turned and quick
" disappeared within the doors Of the
temple. while the tbrong without the
temple courtway, by hat quick intui-
ton so marked in g. crowd at times,
surmised the errand Of the messengers
and began to cry:
1.-THE ark Ca the Lord! The ark of
the Lord! Let it go forth to give vic
tory to Israel"
The shouting grew louder and loud
er, and reached at last the place
where Samuel was engaged in his
morning duties. Startled and puzzled
to know the meaning of the tumult,
he came running forth and entered
the court of the temple just as Phine-
has and Hophni accompanied by the
messengers appeared, and Just behind
them were two OF the Levites bear
ing the ark.
The words which the crowd were
shouting and the sight which his

An Historical Parallel.

The New York World pretends to
have reliable information that Thorn
as Fortune Ryan of Virginia is in the
field as a candidate for the presiden-
cy. The grounds upon which this in
formation is based are not exposed,
but it Is incidentally mentioned that,
among other elements of his strength,
is the strong Catholic following he
would undoubtedly command. This
is a very slender reed and has v
before been pleaded in behalf of any
candidate, except in the memorable
instance of Chief Justice Roger
Brooks fancy, in whose case it proved
fatal. Any student of our politics
knows that religion is a thing quite
apart from party allegiance, and that
any pretension of privilege depending
upon church influence must inevitably
arouse wide resentment. Considered
from this point of view, the announce
ment in the World may be regarded
as an attack on Ryan's availability,
although his church connections are
not quoted against him, nor is it clear
from anything revealed in the Worlds
exposure that he is in fact a candi-
date. If he is in truth a candidate,
some more substantial grounds than
those given by the World must be
