Old Horne Week.

Once met an aged lady
In q leafy country lane s 55 ss
Oh, the lane was sweetly shady,
And the birds had come again,
And she cried, II am SO happy
That I hardly dare to speak,
For the children. they are coming
Coming home in old home week. =
Next appeared go1fing widow,
And her weeds were very fair.
Shed a bird upon her lid o, ls5
I And a ribbon In her hair,
And she chortled with a Joyous
Gladstone little treble squeak: rs
TIM SO happy! HubbySs coming
Coming home for old home week!"
Coming next along the highway
Was lawyer known to fame.
He's not noted for the shy way
That he works the promise game"
He was smiling like the sunlight
AS 1t warns the mountain peak
As he cried, .'John Doe is coming
Back from Paris old home week.
Then bachelor SO lonely
Came along. A pleasant sight.
He was beanling, for his only
Ownest own dear hearts delight,
~ Who had been out west sdivorcing
Number one In Sioux Falls bleak,
Was returning with the papers
Just In time for old home week.
But the best Of all the visions
That can bless mortal eye
{ Were two babes OF the Patricians
Who came dancing gay1y by.
She is comings'' How they sang I'll
There were tears upon my cheek.
HE~4l- ~ Ill
For the whole of old home week.

ROLL OF D|SHON0R
MAY NOT Be LARGE
Bishop Hare Hopes Referen-
dunn Cannot Be Invoked on
New Divorce Law.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. March 27.-Bishop
referendum in the matter of the newly
enacted divorce law in this state, a
roll of dishonor."
Bishop Hare, head of the Episcopal
church In South Dakota, and the one
man to keep up unrelenting warfare
on the easy divorce, chooses to be-
lieve that little will come of the ef-
fort to postpone the operation of the
new statute for two years until pop.
ular vote can be taken. Every man
who signs the petition must give his
address, to be filed with the secretary
of state. The document would be pub
lie. The bishop questions whether the
number of men is large who would like
to have themselves thus blazoned be-
fore their families and the public at
large, and would be willing their
names should go down to posterity, in
the history of the state, on this roll of
dishonor.
If Not Best, Then Good.
The churchman says, regarding the
new law and its being step in re-
form:
First. those with whom l acted
agreed before the legislature met that
If we could not get the best we would
take the good, and that the measure
of reform which would commend the
support of good people. generally
would be better than a more far
going measure which would gain only
u small majority vote
Second. | do not consider the new
law distinct reform measure; fc.
one whole years residence before the
suit for divorce can be begun is better
than six months: publicity in proceed
lngs is better than secrecy, and neces-
sity of bringing suit in the county in
which the divorce seeking Immigrant
lives, is better than a suit carried on
in some far distant and almost un-
heard of county. Each of these three
changes is distinct moral gain"

HOMESTAKE: MINE:
HAS 4 BAD FIRE
For "a Hours a Desperate
Battle Has Been Waged
Against the Flames.

Deadwood, S. D., March 2S.-The
Homesta!ie mine is on fire, and for
ltwenty-four hours u desperate fight has
lbeen vagrd against the steadily in
creasing flame The worst Of the sit
uation is that the battle has to be
fought practically in the dark, as at
no time, owing to the gas and the
smoke, have the men been able to APP
proach sufficiently near even to de-
,termine the exact location of the
flames.
Monday night when the night Shift
went on flames We're discovered near
the 500-foot level, and the alarm of
fire was at once turned in The mine
Us Well equipped with fire apparatus
and plenty of water, and for time
nothing serious was expected All
night long men fought the flames until
overcome by the deadly gas and
smoke, and they We're carried out un-
conscious.
Hospital Filled With Victims.
AT an early hour Tuesday morning
the dry house was turned into an
emergency hospital. as the company
hospital was full to overtlowing Be
tween 3 and 10 o'clock nearly 100 men
We're cared for by the physicians, end
fully 200 in all We're overcome.
An effort was made to drive back the
gas by compressed air and water, but
it failed, and little before noon Engi-
neer Blackstone ordered every man out
OF the mine. Since then the attempt to
deal with the flames has been confined
10 turning several streams of water in
TO the open cut which connects with the
3O0-foot level.
From there the water will soon find
its way to the fire. 1t is thought that
the fire originated from blasting out
some old timber, as it is located near
the 5o0-foot level where such work was
being done
Exact Location Unknown.
Just where the fire is or over how
great an area it has extended no one
knows. On the 50O-foot level is an
immense bulkhead, and the danger
now is that the flames may reach this,
from where they would readily
spread to the other levels, as the tim
bers are old and of pine.
Smoke and gas have been coming
out of the shafts with one exception,
so that 1t was impossible for anyone
TO descend but so far there have been
no fatalities. Even the company's
horses and mules, kept in stable on the
5O0-foot level, We're brought out in
safety.
There is not a man in the mine. and
eftorts are being made to keep the
mills running by ore from the open
cuts. 1t is quite impossible to esti
mate the amount of damage which
may be caused

CLAIM SUBMISSION OF
DIVORCE LAW is CERTAIN

Sioux Falls. S. D., March 2S.-Those who
nre pushing the matter of having the new
divorce law submitted to the voters of
South Dakota next year declare they will
be able to secure the signatures Of double
the number of qualified voters required to
submit it to the voters for adoption or
rejection.
Both sides are closely watching each
other. If the influence of the churches
prevails the law will not be submitted to
the voters. but will go into effect July i
next, as contemplated by the legislature
when the law was enacted.
Should the names of those who sign the
petition be published, as it is strongly in
timated they will be. many of the signers
would unquestionably be placed in some
what peculiar position. especially those
who are members of the churches which
We're largely instrumental in having the
new divorce law enacted.
