There are two kinds of people earth today, Just two kinds of people. more say. Not the sinner and saint for tis well understood The good are half bad and the bad are half good. Not the rich and the poor, for to count mans wealth You must first know the state of his conscience and
 health.
 Not the humble and the proud for in lifes little span Who puts vain airs is not counted Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years Bring each man his laughter and each man his tears. No; the two kinds of people earth mean Are the people who lift and the people who lean. Wherever you ga, you will find the worlds masses Are always divided in just these two classes And oddly enough, you will find, to- wesn. There is only one iifter to twenty who lean. In which class are you? Are you easing the load or overtaxed filters who to down the road? Or you leaner, who lets others bear 7 Your portion of labor and worry and care2

Brookines Felt Real Good.

The Brookings Register feels ex-
tremely happy over the result Of the
football game between Mitchell and
Brookings, which the latter won by
a score Of s to o. The writer pro-
ceeded to HAND out a strong and
unmerited roast to Burton Tanner,
OF the Mitchell team, accusing him
OF being a dirty player, etc. The
statement was wholly u%nwarranted,
for Tanner has a good reputation as
a fair and clean player, and 1T is the
first time that any such attack was
made on him. The dirty playing
was the more exhibited by Brooking.
FROM the fact that one of their
players was removed from the game
on account Of his smuggling Tanner,
who was nit by the Brookings man
during a scrimmage. Mitchell is not
feeling particularly sore over the
game, but the boys admit that they
ought to have won 1t.

A Queer New England eetroth.l,

Hawthorne found romance on the
shores Of old New England, and there
Is q good deal Of it unminded in the
modern life of the Yankees. The fol-
lowing story Of love and marriage,
strange as it may seem, is true:
Years ago a summer boarder at a
cottage on a point Of land which form
ed the protecting arm Of the harbor of
a fishing town in Massachusetts was
shown a girl baby only a few months
old. He looked at the babe and ad-
nired, then said to the mother:
will you give me that babe for my
wife,"
The mother had known the young
man for several summers. She liked
him and therefore answered promptly,
Eyes"
"Will you promise never to tell her
that you have selected me as her hus-
banda"
Eyes"
The conditions Of the singular be-
trothal were observed. The girl baby
grew up, and summer after summer
the young man courted her. When she
vas eighteen he married her, and not
till then did she know that she had
been betrothed to her husband while In
her cradle. Can old romance be moro
romantic than this story Of a New
England nshing townAExchange.

The profit sharing dividend is de-
clared semi-annually, the amount be-
ing determined by the result Of the
business and is voted on by the board
of management.
Each employee, after six months
service, is admitted to membership in
the club and the amount paid is based
on the salaries earned. In addition
to that, each employee receives two
weeks vacation in the summer and
two in the winter, all with full pay.
The club has been in existence now
several years and has created quite a
fund for the care of co-workers in
cases of illness or accident.
The officials of the company state
that the plan has proved one of the
best investments they have ever made
and that while none of the members
of the club have any financial invest
ment in the store. their interest in
the bushes is equal to that of the
stockholders.

The Prices Coming Down.

The lowering of the prices of COM
modiies, a the result Of the monetary
stringency, will at least work no
harm to the general interests Of the
coutry, whatever disappointments
it may bring in particular cases,
says the St Paul Pioneer Press.
Prices have been too high Witness
the suspension, some months ago, of
work on all but a few Of the manv
irrigation projects undertaken by the
reclamation service. That suspension
was the result Of such advances in
the cost OF LABOR and materials as
made the prosecution Of the works
inadvisabie, lest the cost Of the
reclaimed lands be made too high for
the settler. Many private UNDER
takings requiring heavy ontlays were
similarly postponed. With prices
restored to . normal level, they are
likely to be- resumed. II labor get

Profit Sharing With Employees

Plans for profit sharing with en-
'ployes have been in use for many
years in some of the largest corpora
lions and factories in this country,
but only a single instance is known
where such a practice is in operation
in a department store.
So far as is known the Great De-
partment Store at Lewiston, Maine, is
the only retail establishment having
a Co-Workers' club, the membership
of which includes every person who is
under salary with the company, the
drivers, porters, elevator boys and
night Waterman being on an equal
footing in the club with the president
and general manager.
1t is purely self-governed club,
the meetings of which are held every
two weeks when papers are read and
discussions held on matters %calculat-
ed to be Of interest to the business.

All tell you plainly the kidneys

Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kid
ney ills.
Here is proof in Mitchell:
Mrs. John H. Wright, living at
COG e. First ST, Mitche4l, S. D..
says: For more than ten years
nave suffered from kidney complaint.
Several years ago a physician told
me that the most l could get was
temporary relief and that my dis
ease was incurable. I took medi-
cines for a long time until l became
discouraged. There was a dragging
pain in my back and a lameness that
at times almost paralyzed me. The
lameness and weakness, coupled
with the dreadful spells of dizziness
prevented me from leaving the
house. My kidney secretions were
very irregular, and unnatural and
plainly showed that my kidneys were
in a deranged condition. One day ]
remembered a friend who had prais-
ed Doan's Kidney Pills so highly.
that I made up my mind to give them
a trial, and procured a box at Diehl
& Browns Drug Store. I took them
as directed and received immediate
relief. I procured q further supply
and since using them, the pains IN
my limbs and loins have entirely
disappeared and my kidneys are
stronger. I feel better than I have

There Is more catarrh In this
section of the country than all others
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced 1t a local disease
and prescribed local remid;es, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment. pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catar1h to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrb Cure, manufactured
by f. j.. Cheney s. Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. It is taken inter-
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the

for any case it fails to cure. Send

 The explosion caused a damage to the extent of $15O.OO0. The dynamite house was about 125 feet from the of- wees of the company.

 The large hoisting engines in two slopes of the mine were torn from their foundations and were almost complete ly wrecked. The explosion made hole in the ground fifty feet in dIame- ter and six feet deep. Seven hundred

 New York March 5.--After selling at a new high point of the movement during the early session. the cotton market de- yeloped a reactionary tendency today and closed barely steady at net decline of { points Sales for the day were estimated at 100000 bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 165 points in reply to rather disappotnt- ing cables. and after the call prices in active months under realizing and selling for a turn. But the bulls came to the support of the market at the lower level. The estimated receipts for tomorrow at Houston were light and scattering demand attracted through wire and commission houses by a circular from the bull leader predicting final ginnerS re- port under 13. 000.0 900 bales and estimating the short interest in the local market at 2,000,000 bales. Prices rallied on this de- mand to 9.99c for May and 1o.O6 for July, about 3@5 points net higher and to new high level for the movement. Realiz- ing became heavier around these figures, and with bull support less in evidence, the market eased off again and reached the low point in the latter trading. with the close at practically the bottom. Trad ing was quiet on the decline. and there seemed to be selling aggressive infu- ence to indicate bear pressure, but the scat tering long interest was evidently taking profits and rumors, that the bulls were unloading caused some selling for turn.
