Mr.. Editor: Thinking perhaps
our friends of Reading, Minn.,
would like to know of our wherea-
bouts, we are nov. living near Stock
ton, Kansas, and will remain here
until next fall then go to Thomas
county, where we have purchased a
quarter section of land. The land
there is beautiful to look at, mostly
level it is what we call table land.
Crops being splendid there last
season has brought many buyers to
that beautiful country. Land ranges
from ten to twenty dollars per acre
and is increasing rapidly in value
and will certainly in few years be
one of the finest places in the west.

No HelD For the Dying.

The extreme callousness of the old
English gamblers, or gentlemen, as
they were then called. is illustrated by
the following account which Horace
Walpole, the celebrated letter writer,
gives of curious occurrence at
Whites coffee house In London. In
one of his epistles to Sir Horace Mann,
under date Of Sept L.. 1850. he says:
''They have put into the papers a goo1
story, made at Whites. A man dropped
down dead at the door and was carried
in. The club Immediately made bets
whether he was dead or not. and when
they were going to bleed him the wa
gerers for his death interposed and
said it would affect the fairness Of the
bet and they stopped their efforts

II there is any man on this earth,
white or black, who insists that his
expenses in competitive sport must be
no drain on himself, that man Is tho
Britisher. And he is quite right An
amateur should be neither In nor out a
dollar. 1t is entirely proper that his
club, his college, his association or such
collection of bodies as he represents
should pay bis legitimate expenses
when he is sent to compete for that
college or club or association or union.
England goes much farther and gives
much more latitude in the matter OF
expenses than we do. In cricket, for
example, amateur" players in England
whose services are desired for the
county championship series are liter
ally ''found' during the entire season.
No graft Of. this kind could exist In
America without raising such storm
q would blow the whole thing to
kingdom come. Nor would we toler,,
ate the conditions that obtain in Eng

UNIQUE BARGAIN DAY
How the Business Men of Mill.
bank Got a Big Crowd
in Town

Milbank, S. D., held a unique
Bargain Day. The merchants put
up prizes for the teams bringing the
largest number in one rig. The
first prize was $50. Farmers
focked in from all directions with
wagon boxes packed more solidly
than state fair street car. It was
a big crowd. The loads contained
from fourteen to sixty people.
The load of sixty thought they
had the $50 prize, but Berner
Bros, Trapp drove in with a load
of 142. One of the Milbank papers
say: "A little while later came
the load that knocked the per-
simmon from the bush, that of
Berner Bros. and Trapp-the load
numbering by actual count one
hundred and forty two men,
women, children and babies. The
rig which brought this big load
was constructed from three sets of
bobs upon which was built plat
form from three inch planks
measuring thirty four feet long
and twelve feet wide. Across the
front end for the driver was a full
length wagon box. As the rig
was coming along the road the
rear bobs broke and the end
dragged on the ground and spilled
a lot of the folks or the load would
have numbered over 200 souls. ess

From the Enterprise:
s. Faeeraess went up to St. Paul
Tuesday night to attend the meeting
of the Farmers Club at the State
Agricultural College. He will also
go up to the state Capital to witness
the Inauguration Of Gov. Johnson
aud look in on the legislature.
A large number of our citizens
drove to Worthington last Sunday to
attend Evangelist Sundays closing
meetings. The meeting in the after.
noon was for men only and every
seat in. the tabernacle was taken.
Sunday evening the service was for
mixed audience and the crowd that
|souel 6missiop was 20 lai tlsat
many were turned away, being unable
to. get inside the building. Many
have scoffed at Rev. Sunday and bis
way OF conducting meetings., but not
withstanding the opposition that he
had to contend with he done a
wonderful amount of good while in
Worthington.
Those from here who are attending
college at Mankato and have been
spending the holidays at their re-
spective homes-Misses Belle Scott,
Ethel Black and Tillie and Jennie
Sietsma and Earl Black, Wood
Breckon and Wilbar Renshaw-re-
surned the past week to be on hand
at the opening of college after the
holiday vacation.
While Rushmore people are proud
of the honor that has been bestowed
upon one of mostlprominent citizens
there is pang of regret in the de-
parture of Senator Bedford and his
estlmable wife, who go to St. Paul 10
spend the winter while the senator is
attending to his dutias in the state
legislature. Both have always been
active in church and social work aud
their places will be hard to fill.
However, there is pleasure in the
thought that thei1 absence will not
be of long duration and We will have
them with US again when the legisla-
ture adjourns.
