II Don't Pay.

Moscow has just paid to Mrs. Tins
the sum of S6O8.99, damages. This
was for damages sustained by Mrs.
Tins from fall on a sidewalk. A
plank in front of the Urquhart build
ing caused her to fall and the taxpay-
ers foot the bill. All of which shows
that town may be too economical and
for lack OF a plank in a sidewalk or for
other causes sustain heavy penalty.
For example: For some time the foot
bridge near the depot has been danger
Gus, as is the wagon bridge at this
time. Should an accident occur it
might cause the town to dig up many
times the cost of new bridge. The
same might be said OF the broken
planks in public sidewalks and furnish
good reason for compelling the owner
Of abutting property to repair them.
1t illustrates the old saying that a
stitch in time saves nine 1t don't
pay to neglect the improvement Of
town.

Local and Personal.
A Missing Key.


The girls OF Ridenbaugh Hall were
assembled at a Mothers Meeting,"
as they called the monthly and some
times weekly lectures given by the
preceptress for their benefit. This
evening she looked unusually stern, as
the girls sat meekly before her with
attentive faces. After clearing her
throat, Mrs. Olds began in a grave
tone Girls, the pantry key is miss
ing" She snapped her mouth to-
gether and made a long pause for eff
feet.
This key must be found; and if it
appear Immediately, each girl will be
questioned separately about it," she
said, resuming her speech.
This little talk did not seem to have
any effect on the girls, at least to all
outward appearances. Nevertheless a
party OF them could be seen upstairs
five minutes later, pulling straws. Their
faces wore an eager, expectant look as
one by one each took her straw.
Ruth, its up to you," cried the
other two girls as Ruth, looking in her
hand discovered that she had pulled
the shortest.
'Oh, I can never in the world get
1hat key safely back" walled Ruth,
who was not accustomed to such
pranks.
That's easy. You'll soon get used
to a little thing like that" said Meg,
the leader of the girls in all mischief.
That night when the lights had been
aurned out, Ruth started down stairs
con her Grand. Everything was dark,
and nobody was in sight. She step
ped lightly along and had just reached
the pantry door when the rattle of silk
skirts could be heard. Soon a dim
light appeared, headed directly toward
the place where she stood.
Ruth did not stop to see more, but
Like a fash was inside. The silk skirts
were coming nearer. She had only a
second in which to act. Gazing wildly
from one wall to another, she noticed a
window above a low shelf. 1t was
open. and with one leap Ruth found
herself out in the open air. She ran
around the corner of the house where
she stopped to get her breath. After
partly recovering from her fright, she
went to the window again, expecting
TO find her way back into the house.
To her surprise the window had been
closed and locked. She wandered
around the house and soon spied a
door about four feet square just mex
to the wall. 1t seemed to lead dowr
into the ground like an old-fashionec
cellar-door. Ruth lifted the lie
carefully and looked in. What a COY
warm place it was. She could hear the
steam Sizing through the pipes.
Here's where I'll spend the night,
she said to herself, and spreading
rug, which was laying near, on thu
DIOR, she jumped in and settled her
self for the night. Before going t.

sleep, however, she put her hand in
her little waist-pocket to assure herself
that the key was safe. The next
moment she turned cold with fear.
1t was gone. Rousing herself, she
went out to look for it, but all was in
vain. After an hours Ruthless search,
she was forced to go back into her
little cubbyhole where she cried her
self to sleep.
Early next morning Meg and Maud
met in the hall.
What became of RUTH" asked
Maud in an anxious tone.
Haven't seen sign of her, but I
guess she got through it alive"
answered Meg indiherently.
Just then Ruth appeared.
well, what's happened?" asked
Meg in joyful voice.
No excitement at all, that can
see," said Ruth sulkily.
Where's the key?" asked Maud.
Gone" said Ruth, and 1 don't
care where"
What did you do with it, anyway"
asked Meg who was beginning to see
the seriousness of the situation.
i've done my part now and wash
my hands of the whole affair."" an
swered Ruth dryly.
Yes, and it's pretty way you've
done it, too," said the other girls.
The only thing left to do is for US
to tell that we took the key" said
Meg to Maud.
The remainder of the day the two
girls were planning in what way they
could best tell the preceptress of then
misdemeanor. At last it was decided
that Maud should say the first sentence
and Meg say the rest.
When all the girls were in the hall
after dinner that evening, Maud and
Meg went up to the preceptress tc
! confess what they had done.
i've forgotten my Speech" whis-
pered Maud to Meg.
Meg told her again what to say, but
Maud's tongue chung to the roof Of mel
mouth, and she was unable to utter ;
word.
Mrs. ODDS, who had not noticed
them until now, smiled at them, ther
called to all the girls and said, II wan

saloons resulted in a tie at the regu-

tensive litigation over the legality OF
the licenses which, Notwithstanding
the tie vote, we're granted, is now
without any saloons.
1t was the opinion of many resi-
dents of the place that the licenses
issued were illegal and void. The
question was taken before Judge Mar
quis of the circuit court who has rem
erred a decision holding that the
censes were illegal. In accordance
with this decision, the two saloons
which have been doing business in
the place during the past eight
months have closed their doors, the

there has been a tie vote on the

Male Members of Sioux Falls Colony
Astounded by Arrival of Couroud.

UGLY
Astounded by Arrival of Couroud.
Trouiae has o%vertaken the male
members of the divorce colony at
Sioux Falls, the cause of their grief
being the arrival of a new member
who, they fear, will bring upon them
undue and unwished-fOr notoriety.
The male members of the colony
look upon the Quitting in" of the new
member about as the woman men,
bers Of the colony regarded the ar
rival If Mrs. Roland B. Molineaux
some years ago.
The latest arrival in the colony, and
the man who has caused all the grief
is Powers Couroud, who, about three
years ago, married a daughter of
William III. Croker, the multi-million-
aire 81 San Francisco. He is only
about twenty-three years Of age. An
interesting feature of the case is the
fact that his father had previously
married an older sister of Couroud's
wife.
1t is understood here that Couroud
is to be pensioned with a million dol
lars when a divorce is granted him.
Miss GCOcker was but seventeen when
she ran away and married young
Cour0ud, who at that time was but
twenty. The young man is an Eng
lishman with all the distinctive Eng
lish habits. ,
