broncho, a gentle-looking little animal that stood head down, resting after his long gallon across the prairie. After waiting for the tardy Tom some fifteen minutes it was decided by the boys to appoint committee to wait upon him and ascertain the cause of his delay; but just at this juncture Tom was seen com Ing slowly over the hill that lay be- tween the ground and town. As he neared the crowd the boys were not sur prised to see look of uncertainty on his usually bold face. He came up to them. nodding his head to them collectively. Hello. boys" he said in n weak voice. but attempting to be indifferent to the cause of the gathering. Then he waited for someone to speak.
 Well, here I am,' said Hank, stepping forward Shall we begin now, or do you want to rest?'
 "Oh, l guess we'd better begin at once, said Tom, his voice really quivering. "But-dont you think you've made n mistake in agreeing to box with mel I'm pretty muscular, you see." And he drew mp his arm, displaying quite lump of muscle.
 ''Yes, you've got the better of me In that respect" admitted Hank. But I'm not afraid but what l can hold my own. I'm built of iron. 1 am. But what did you say boxing for? I've understood we are to fight" And Hank looked Tom square in the face
 Nope, I won't fight" said Tom, his face reddening. 'Ill put on the gloves with you and box for Ave rounds. But don't believe In fighting"
 Several boys booted and sneered at this. "Why do you always boast that you can lick any boy of your size In the county if you don't believe in fghtingT' cried one bystander. You've always been the loudest in wanting to fight-not box Come don't back down and out now"
 Tom was beginning to show his fright. From red his face had become pale. Well" he faltered, turning about and looking for some sympathetic face, "I'll not back out, I won't. But let's ride the broncho first I'm not feeling well to- day. Give me a drink, there Walt"
 After he had refreshed himself with a dipper of water Hank agreed to 'humor" him by riding first, thus testing his abll- ity in the line of horsemanshlp. Hank jumped Into the saddle, and touching his broncho-trained to the work-with his whip the animal immediately arose on his hind legs, then pitched forward on his fore legs, then doubled up till his back resembled the half of hoop. But Hank, an expert, never moved from his place on the doubling animals back,

though hls giratlons were something ter rible to see.
 After five minutes of bucklng most fercely the broneho started on the run over the hill. and it was with an effort that Hank brought him to a standstill. Then, guiding him carefully, he came riding back to the group of boys. He dismounted and invited Tom to come and take hls turn. Tom stepped forward. look of resigned resolution on his face. He trembled and was pale as Hank as- sisted him into the saddle. In another minute he was on the ground In n bunch, having been tossed over the buck ing broncho's head at the first bound. As Frank and Hank assisted him to rise he wiped the dust from his face. saying in fearful voice: "I can't ride that brute, I can't. I confess Pm defeated" Then he choked with tears and wiped his eyes on his sleeve.
 Well, you are not defeated In the fight with Hank yet" encouraged one of the boys. Here, come and show us that you are not put down and out so easy"
 But Tom shook his head despairingly. 'I alnt a coward, kids" he whimpered;

Their Journey.

They started out at dawn to ride To London Town, so far away; They crossed the sea at even-tide, And got in port at close of day. Then cross the bridge to London Town They rode in haste, in gathering throng; And bowed they to the king and queen, Who in their chariot dashed along. They supped that night In palace fair Then homeward went the following day And when their mama asked them why, They said they'd come back home to stay.

South Dakota Commission Has Been Successfvl-Fully 80 Per
Cent OF the Disease Has seen Eradicatcd and Federal
Quarantine Has Been Raised.

The state live stock commission. at
a meeting in Pierre, devoted a great
deal of attention to the matter of
eradication of mango or scabies from
the cattle of the state this spring.
At the 1905 session of the legislature
this commission was created and $10,-
600 was appropriated for the purpose
OF dealing With infections, contagious
and communicable diseases in live
stock. AT that time his and other
Western states We're under absolute
quarantine by the federal government.
South Dakota enacted a law and in
augurated an active campaign for the
eradication OF this disease. which
was much more prevalent east of the
Missouri river, but at the same time
much easier to handle than in the
range country lying west OF the Mis-.
souri, river.
| With the cooperation of the bureau
OF animal industry, it was possible to
raise the quarantine from the section
east Of the Missouri river during the
fall Of 1906. The country west Of the
river showed equal improvement, but
it was found impossible to raise the
quarantine, for the reason hat the
section was largely composed of In
dian reservations, owe WHICH the
state board had no jurisdiction, and
the work OF the federal government
was Incomplete.

at an expenditure of only about one

which would have been absolutely
impossible without the practical as
sistance of the federal authorities.
Wherever the infection was general
the work was comparatively easy, as
a thorough system of dipping was
necessary, but the cases in existence
at this time, which are largely lso-
lated, will be more difficult and ex-
p~ensive to discover and treat.

division of the bureau of animal In

state veterinarian. now in h en-
ployment of the federal government,
m DR.. Hicks, the present state veter-
marian, We're in consultation with the
commission. 1t was the unanimous
opinion that concerted action is neces-
sary to eradicate this disease.
DR.. Treacy informed the commits
sion that in certain sections where
the quarantine had been raised the
disease was again apparent, but in
isolated cases. and If it is the inten-
ton of the commission to employ
drastic measures toward a complete
eradication of this disease this spring
he would give the assistance Of every
federal inspector available.
The federal inspectors have been
at work since the close of the last
dipping season, as far is weather con-
ditons would permit, endeavoring to
locate and quarantine infected herds.

TO BUILD 100 HOUSED

More than one hundred houses will
be erected this year at Aberdeen by
a local syndicate, and the work will
begin April 10. Other concerns here
are making similar plans, and it is
evident that a determined effort is
about to be made to overcome the
house famine which has prevailed
here more than a year in spite of the
great amount of building of the last
season, and which is steadily growing
worse with the rapid incoming of new
families.

to wait half an hour before she fin

toward receiving and distributing the
mail he brought, but engaged in repair

entered the store.
Finally, the carrier says, he gathered
up his mail bags and started on to the

a mile, however, when he was overtak-

the violent death Of his
son, formerly a resident of Lead. He
dled as a result of a pistol shot. and
1t is feared that he met with foul
play. Fifty dollars in cash was found
upon his person, and this dispels the
theory that he was murdered by rob
bers. Langduth was twenty-eieht
years old, and a member of Troop A

was a carpenter by trade. A widow
