The French seamstresses have many
little tricks that make the work easier
and quicker, and better than when
done by our methods. One is to lay
the lace on the material to be trim

above the lace.
Use a fine needle and thread and
sew over and over towards you with a
slanting stitch.

SEEKS FORTUNE
IN CUBA LAND
Former Miller Politician Gone
To Cuba

Sioux Falls Argus-A private let
ter has been received by a friend in
this city of Mrs Harry w. Sawyer
which contains some information
which, if true, will be quite interest
ing to the Sioux Falls acquaintances
of M. L. Fox, for number of years
a resident of Sioux Falls and well
known through South Dakota. The
letter states that Mr. Fox, through
lucky speculations in land in Cuba,
where he-is now now located, during
period of five months cleaned up a
neat sum of $4,000.
The success of Mr. Fox has been
such that Mr. Sawyer has also gone
to Cuba in hopes of being able to
duplicate the performance of Mr.
Fox.
The Sioux Falls friends of the two
gentlemen named would be glad to
see them both become millionaires.

other was started yesterday after
noon, and air will be turned on to-
day. The steel work is being pushed

to continue right along.
The water has fallen until it is
nearly as low as before the rise of ten

Near NermiIliou

Vermillion, s. d. Feb. 25. This
town is encompassed on three sides by
a frozen lake five miles in diameter.
The Missouri river which was dam
med up by an ice gorge three miles
east Of town last Saturday had sub
merged all the bottom lands about
Vermillion and last night the water
froze. Access to the town from the
east, west and south is almost i'm
possible today. The ice is not heavy
enough to hold the body of a man.
and it is too thick to be broken up by
a boat.
Farmers in the flooded district are
entirely cut off from the outside
world. They can no longer row
their boats to town and the telephone
system has been badly injured by the
floating cakes of ice.

to be covered in short time.

SALTMARSH WINS
POSTOFFICE PLUM
Interesting Contest for Local
Office Results in Selection
of Mr. Saltmarsh

Perhaps no official position in a
town or city calls for as universal in
'erest as that of the locah postmas-
ter. Every person in the communi-
ty does business at the postoffice,
hence takes a lively interest in the
selection Of a postmaster. Miller
has had several interesting contests
for this position, among them the
one just closed between F. &. Salt
marsh and P. j. Dunn as the prin-
ciples.
Mr. Saltmarsh was candidate
over eight years ago when the pres
ent incumbent was selected. He re-
presented Hand county two terms in
the state senate, and voted with the
stalwart faction of the republican
party. On Thursday last he receiv-
ed a telegram from Senator A. b.
Kittridge that he had been appoint
ed postmaster. 1t is understood that
he will give his entire time to the
duties of his office. His deputy has
not been announced.
Mr. Dunn "Patsey," as every
body calls him-has been the effici-
ent deputy for over eight years. He
carried the city in the party caucus
es last spring over all combinations,
and had the endorsement of four
ffths of the business men and
citizens of Miller. "Patsey" is a
good loser, and he meets his friends
with the same old smile. He put up
a game contest and thanks his friends
for their hearty support.
Business of the Office
Eight years ago last January the
Press man took possession of the
office. That year the office did a
business of 81, 100. He is ready to
hand the office over to his successor
with a business record during the
past year of $4 ,200-just double that
at the beginning of his official work.
And the work in all branches has
just about doubled during that time.
The present incumbent has had the
office as long as any man should oc-
cupy an office of such nature. He
is fully satisfied, and notified the
proper officials nearly two years ago
that he did not aspire to continue as
postmaster. He has given it consci-
entious service for slightly more
than two full terms, has been well
treated for his party service, at all
Times receiving courteous treatment
from the patrons of the Office who
have ever been patient and gener-
Gus, and upon the eve of retiring ex-
tends his most sincere thanks to the
friends who supported him, and to
all of the patrons of the Office for
their kind treatment.
