The trediscovery of this mine has

What a Hatpin Revealed.

A certain large millinery establish
ment makes speciality of women's
trimmed hats at So and $40. 1t Is cut
ting largely into the trade Of the small
er high priced dealers. A short time
ago a woman of fashion went into the
establishment mentioned and tried OH
several hats, but found none TO suit
her. Before going out she missed a
valuable hatpin. A careful search
failed to bring it to light. and its dis
appearance remained a mystery. A
few days later the customer, still look
ing for suitable hat, visited one Of
the expensive millinery shops in the
city. Among the hats shown to her.
none of which was priced lower than
$50, was one that closely resembled
one OF the hats she had tried on In the
ten dollar store. She took it up to ex-
anime 1t more closely. AS she felt
the trimming she noticed that the end
OF hatpin was concealed beneath a
bunch OF artificial flowers. Drawing 1t
out. she discovered it to be her missing
hatpin.--New York Tribune.

gradually dwindled away, his family
left him and he was reduced to the
necessity of being supported by his
widowed mother. About two years ago
he reformed and gave up his old ways.
He joined the Episcopal church and
later became minister of that denom-
ination. He was given q charge in
Arkansas and later transferred to
GAINESVILLE, Mimi. While there the old
craving came back to him, and he left
his pastorate and went to Minneapolis.
He was found there by a friend and
taken to Brookings last week.
Through the courtesy of w. E. Tip.
ton, of Mitchell, secretary of the board
of charities and corrections, some inter-
esting figures have been obtained rela-
tive to the conditions of the various
penal and charitable institutions of the
state. At the close of the fiscal year,
June 30, the population of the various
institutions was as follows: Training
school, Plankinton, 81 males, Ia females,
total Il; feeble-minded, Redfield, 50
males, 30 females, total 125; school for
blind, Gary, 30 males, IL females, total
AZ; school for deaf mutes, Sioux Falls,
80 males, 80 females, total 20; peniten-
tiary, Sioux Fails, $50 males, 2 females,
total 1872; hospital for insane, Yankton,
430 males, PAS females, total 67S. This
makes total of 1,16S persons of the
derelict and defective classes in this
state out of population of about a half
million and it is an exceedingly low rate
ratio as compared with other states.
There are something over 200 of the
feeble minded and blind and deaf classes
in the state who are not in institutions.
OF the moneys under the control of the
board for running the institutions for
the year S63. S59 70 was saved and COW
ored back into the state treasury, and,
better still, the institutions have never
been III better condition, all of which
reflects the wisdom of having a strong
and experienced board at the head of
this arm of the state government. New
buildings are being constructed at the
penitentiary, at the school for deaf
mutes and at the insane hospital, for
each of which special appropriations
were made by the last legislature. The
construction of Irvine plant at the
penitentiary is being pushed forward as
rapidly as possible and when completed
and in operation farming will be prac-
tically eliminated from that institution.
Each of the institutions owns a large
quantity of land, an inheritance from
the government, which was set aside
for state purposes The state constantly
employs at these constitutions 265 persons
and pays out in wages and for mainte-
nance about $500, 900 annually or nearly
80, 900 every month
