About the first of May, Attorney P. D.
Norton of Hettinger was employed by
settlers of Adams county to look up the
matter of obtaining government lands at
5ocents per acre under the Great Sioux
Indian Reservation proclamation, and
the accompanying letter shows that he
has been successful: Nearly all the land
inAdams county comes under this pro-
vision, and Mr.. Norton is Of the opinion
that the government will refund to all
parties who have paid at the rate OF S1,25

It is strange that some one had not
discovered the fact before that these fine
lands could be had at 50 cents per acre.

According to a statement made by
General William Booth, who is now
making u tour of inspection of the Sal.
walton Army in this country, the work
Of the army will be uninterrupted in
the event of the aged leaders, death.
General Booth said:
Arrangements have been made, SC
far as legal acumen and prayer could
enable us to make them, so that as II
general of the Salvation Army steps
off the stage of action another general
sha step on. If, therefore, 1 should
die tonight the message that would
flash around the world would be. The
general is dead; long live the gen.

her with all his slim strength to Hard's

The midget was not at all afraid

sat silently watching him adjust the
black sun cover, although the sun had
set and the short winter day was
nearly ended. He watched until the
boy trembled forth a dutiful and brave
"Merry Christmas" and had drawn the
express cart to the door. Then he
smiled.

Robert obeyed, with his eye fixed
longingly on the yellow head lying
against the black sleeve.

Yemans laughed. GA fellow has to

An odd expression crossed Hard's

"Cheer up, old man." said Yemans,
still laughing. "Your money brings

impatiently. "Im only stupidity think

He shook himself, arose and began
pacing the floor with his arms folded
behind him. Yemans whistled a bit
and slid off the table. He yawned and
picked up his hat. 81 say, here's a pun.
It's hard luck to be rich. but it's al

And Yemans left, slamming the door
behind him.

Before him stood a queer combina-

been twice as tall his eyes could have
looked over it at Yemans just stepping
into the elevator. Yemans was laugh
