One ON the Customer

A rather amusing story is told on a
man who went into hardware store
of a neighboring town and wished to
purchase an ak, says an Ohio paper.
Being shown the article and informed
that the price was $1.15, he said:
"Why, / can get that same kind of
an Ak from a mail order house for 80
cents"
Very WE'LL" said the hardware
man, "Iswill give it to you at the
same price provided that you will do
the same with me that you would
with them"
"All right" replied the customer
as he handed over a dollar bill, the
merchant giving him back ten cents
I'm change.
Now said the hardware man, 81
want rs cents more to pay the ex-
press charges" which the purchaser
gave him. "How much did your axe
cost you?''
oHc uOlldT anu HIucel CelLS, the
man answered.
Very good; now give me the five
cents more for money order fees and
POSTAGE which the purchaser had tc
hand over. sNow how much did
your axe cost your"
"One dollar and twenty cents, =
said the customer.
"Not 50 cheap after ALL" said the
merchant, whereupon he picked uI
the axe, tossed 1t back on the shell
and told the customer to call for it in
ten days, as that would be as soon al
he could get it If he had ordered II
from the mail order house.

Kittredge kept busy with public
affairs, andmade no answer to these
charges. Fence many well intention
ed and fair minded people believed
the stories Then Mr.. Kittredge
started to et out among the people,
He has metaundreds upon hundreds
of men whonever saw him before. He
has made agood impression. He does
not strike ne as a "boss." He doesn't
look that prt as much as does Mr..
Crawford. Mr.. Kittridge is not con-
ceited. He is a common every day
modest typ of man, with a grasp of
public qustions, and a desire to
serve the plblic, and with fine record
of having one so. This has been a
revelation 20 many people In South
Dakota. / has been known for years
by Mr.. Kitredge's old time friends
but beforeMr. Kittredge got out be-
fore the pople they did not under
stand him He has delivered many
speeches II the state. In not one of
them has he cast any reflections upon
a single citizen of South Dakota. This
is very different from Mr.. Crawford
who talksabout nothing else except
how wicked are the men who oppose
him. TIL, plain people of the state
have beer quietly making compari-
sons and ihe result is that Mr.. Craw-
ford is lodng alarmingly In the esti-
mate.
AS matters now stand, Mr.. Craw-
ford is hpelessly beaten for the sem
atorship. He has been losing every
week sine he has been governor. He
has not made good. He has not even
been able to retain the friends with
which hestarted out.
This Is the situation before the
campaign has really begun. Mr.. Kitt-
redge has not yet made a political
speech. Later in the campaign he
will talk politics. He will answer the
attacks which have been made on
him. He will tell the voters of this
state the truth, and the whole truth.
He VIII tell them what he has done,
and Why he has done 1t. Ii then the
voters are satisfied with the record
made, they will re-elect him to the
senate for six years more. II not, they
will chose Mr.. Crawford who failed as
attorney general, who failed as a re-
publican candidate for congress, and
who has failed as governor of the
state. Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.

A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT
Most remarkable ia the change

Most remarkable is the change of
sentiment which is reported from
every section of the state in regard to
the factional politics of the state. A
year ago everybody seemed to be for
reform" Now they seem to have
gotten quite enough of the kind of
reform" delivered by Mr.. Crawford,
Mr.. Gamble, Mr.. Shober and Mr.. Bas-
ford. From nearly every county in
the state come reports of loss of sup
port for the insurgents and a gain
for the stalwarts. Just what is do
ing this would be perhaps hard to say.
The effect is produced by number of
causes.
Mr.. Crawford promised much and
has given little. He declared for clean
politics, and he supported Mr.. Gamble
for the senate. He declared for the
civil service, and he ousted two men,
bers of the soldiers home board with
out cause, and installed a Crawford
man as commandant. He declared
against the corporations, and opposed
the enactment of reduced passenger
fare. He declared for the use of
South Dakota materials in the new
capitol, and his commission voted to
use foreign stone. He declared in
favor of South Dakota business and
legislation has been enacted which
hurts every newspaper in the state,
and which plays into the hands of the
mail order houses in Chicago. He
declared In favor of good appoint
ments, and then named O. S. Basford
for insurance commissioner. He de-
clared against machine politics, and
then became the most dictatorial boss
the state has ever seen. He professed
to be In favor of representative gov
ernment but spoke of the legislature
OF the people as "my legislature. y
He declared for economy, and his
legislature appropriated more money
than any legislature in the history Of
the state. He declared for low taxes,
and the tax rate will be higher
and the assessment will be higher
than ever before known I'm the history
OF the state. 1t is record of big
promises and scant performances. It
is q record Of getting the votes under
false pretenses-a thing which can be
successfully done but once. This is
part Of the cause for the reaction.
Another part Mr.. Kittredge is re-
sponsible for. The big senator has
been represented to the people as a
whiplashing boss who cared nothing
for the people and who was content
only to serve the corporations. Senator

1t is said that an official of the
Standard Oil company has stated that
the people Of the country would pay
that big fine for the company. Let 1t
be granted that Standard Oil can
make the people do so. The Ameri-
can people dare it to do this thing!
There will be no increase in the price
OF oil to Offset this fine, unless it be
true that ''those whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad. "
Let one step toward that thievery be
taken and there will be laws made
swiftly, at Washington and in every
state, that will be rude in their
equity and harsh in their penalty, be-
cause they will voice the wrath of a
whole people, whose patience has been
tried too far.

There is this much to be said about
Taft: A lawyer big enough to decline
an appointment to the supreme
bench, his life ambition, because he
believed his duties to be elsewhere, Is
not likely to shrivel greatly In the
presidential office. II he is a candi-
date in good faith, Roosevelt is not,
for Taft could not honorably remain
in the cabinet under such circum-
stances.

THE most incredible stories have been
told Of Russian jurymen. Thus the
foreman Of jury declared he would
not send poor fellow to prison be-
cause 1t happened to be his (the jury
man's) birthday. Another jury had
agreed upon a verdict Of guilty when
the church bells began to ring. They
revised their verdict because holl-
day had begun. A burglar was allowed
to go free because the man whom he
had robbed had refused to lend him
money. This In the opinion Of the jury
was direct incentive to crime.

not rich man when young. He en-
'countered some Of the vicissitudes Of
life, like many another genius. Once
when travelling he put up at an inn
and remained there unable to get away
through lack Of funds to settle his
bill. The landlord grew suspicious
that such was the case, and his re-
quests for a settlement grew more and
more pressing. Finally young Raphael
in desperation resorted to the follow
Ing device:
He carefully painted upon table
top In his room a number Of gold coins,
and. placing the table In certain light
that gave a startling effect, he packed
his few belongings and summoned his
host.
: There" he exclaimed. with a lord
ly wave Of his hand toward the table,

Unexpectedly Greek in character as
others are Gothic. No other sculptures
are on SO large and imposing a scale.
No other gables over the doors soar
upward In such high, acute angles. No
other show such an ENHANCEMENT OF
figures and traceries, And the great,
tall windows above and the rose be-
tween are so beset with ornament that
hardly an inch of bare stone remains
about them. In the gallery Of kings
the statues stand under carven cano-
pies, intricate, delicate, lacelike In their
elaboration. The tall central gable,
fretted and aamhoyant, reaches up still
higher, and on each side OF 1t the tow

and windows, seem bent on carrying
the glory of 1t ell to the very heights
