The various member Of Congress who
have decided to make their homes In
Washington during the coming social

rented houses for entertainments in
some cases the houses have been rent

instances the Representative prefers
the house unfurnished.
This is evidenced by the number OF
houses recently rented by Moore &

Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-03-15

while Albert smiled a sweet refrain.
Then he got the monkey wrench busy
for five seconds, damned the chugger
in place, turned or the lightning,
opened the sucker, turned the wheel
and Albert yelled, $50 YOU

It's awful funny when you sit down

A BalkY Gas Engine.

A Missouri mule with his feet froz-
en- to the ground is a gentleman
alongside of a gas engine when 1T
gets balky. The LEADER engine, a
new and improved one at that, war
ranted to run with Rockefeller's
watered gas, got a fit last THURSDAY
afternoon ten minutes after we began
running off the edition, and from 2
d. m. to 8 a. m. it continued to have
fits and starts but the fits predomin-
ated. The whole Office force went
down.in defeat and then Paul Juel,
who will guarantee to make a dead
mule walk. took a hand at the game.
He took out and cleaned the liver,
gizzard, kidneys and stomach and
still it baked. He scraped The ker-
peter point and cleaned up the chug-
ger and oiled the blow pipe and It
only chugged when he turned the big
wheel by hand. Talk about patience.
DR.. Wendt and his first auto expert
ence was a mere paddock with a big
brass key in comparison.
We pumped out Is gallons of Rock
efeller'S warranted extract and
creased the pipes with the con-
cocuion and filed up the tank with
double distilled essefice of baidheaded
Johns best and then the measly
brute wouldn't move.
BY this time every one in the Office
was red in the face and no-pitch
hot. Language fails to do justice to
the subject hence it Is safe to say no
more at this time, because we are Ii
able to let something Slip that would
bar the paper from the mails.
Midnight: The last report from
the basement\ gave %undisputed evil
dence that ''the flag was still there"
Next morning when everybody had
cooled off Gid went down into the
basement and looked around in dis
gust. He kicked the oil can aside,
picked up a monkey wrench and tap
ped the kerchug Il time or two, turned
the exhaust into the blow pipe and
hit the k%erpeeter. Things sounded
hollow. Then he tapped the Sparker
but the sparl,er was silent and the
sparkling room was dark. Here was
the trouble. The screw that held the
lightning jerker in close proximity to
the Rockefeller product failed to
connect. Gid talked to the outfit in.

Death OF James IL. Davidson.

Died at his home in Springfield,
Missouri. February "a, 1907, James
II. Davidson, aged tifty-seven years.
The deceased was n Of the pio-
neers of South Dakota thirty-two
years ago, and lived near Canton an
til the year 1900, when he removed
with his family to New Hampton,
Iowa, and later to Springfield, Miss
ouri. He read the LEADER each
week and was interested in all the af-
fairs of his old friends and neighbors
many of whom were his pupils. His
health has been gradually failing him
for some time, and too much exposure
and overwork brought IN pneumonia
which resulted in quick consumption.
He struggled against death ali
winter: not because he feared death,
for he said he had made his peace
with God and was ready to meet
Him. but he longed TO live for the
loved ones around him who needed
him so much. He lived and died Il
sincere Christian. He leaves a wife,
three daughters and two sons to
mourn the loss of a loving husband
and father.
