Child Regards Snake as Prize and

The most novel ~rattlesnake story OF
the season, and which is true In every
particular, comes from the western
part of Lyman county, where a two
year-old child of a settler and his wife
caught a r~attlesnake by the tail and
dragged it to his home.
The little fellow. while playing near
the house, discovered the rattlesnake
summing itself on the prairie, and evil
IDENTIFY thinking he had captured a
prize grasped the snake by the tail
and dragged it to the house. When the
little fellow arrived at the house the
snake twice had fastened its fangs in
his hand, but, Notwithstanding this, he
refused to abandon the catch"
Naturally the members Of the fam
lily were greatly Mortified when the
child appeared at the door with the
snake. Even when the members of
the family endeavored to induce the
child to let go of the snake so it could
be killed, the little fellow still was in.
clined to retain his grasp upon its tail.
By the prompt application of soda
and vinegar the life Of the little boy
was saved, but his body from the waist
up turned black before the effects of
the poison was nullifed.

STRANGE BONES FOUND.
Remains Found In Gravel Pit Are Not
Believed to Be Indians.

Some strange finds have been dis
covered in a gravel pit east Of Oacomo
on the Sioux reservation. Since the
pits have been opened nearly fifty
skeletons have been found up to the
present time, and they are not the re-
mains of Indians.
Most Of the skeletons have been
found buried from four to eight feet
deep, and all in either a sitting or
standing posture. Most of these peo-
pie seemed to be of rather small stat
ure, much below the height Of the or
binary North American Indian. A few
days ago while digging in the pit a
skeleton Of a man fully eight feet i'll
height was discovered. In the imme-
date vicinity Of the burial place were
found implements of copper and bone
In each of the graves, and in one was
found a copper idol about eight inches
in length.
The gravel beds are dry. and when
the bones are exposed to the air they
at nee crumble into dust. At first
the finding of the skeletons caused
much excitement at Oacomo, but they
are taken out now with little comment
except the finding Of the last one,
which indicated a race of people of
great height.

New Law on Teachers Certificates
Makes Radical Change.
The law Of the last session made
several radical changes in tho manner
of issuance of teachers certificates.
The old law provided for two exa1nlna-
tons each year, one in the spring aud
one in the fall, after which all papers
above the third grades were sent to
the state superintendent Office for
marking. For this work the state .u-
pe%rintendent called together a board
Of educators from different parts Of
the state to assist.
The new law provides Cor more nu-
merous examinations and the sending
of all papers for a certificate of any
grade to the state Guperintendeml's Ct
fee for marking, this work to be done
by a permanent hoard, which Is made
4 part Of the force Of that Office.
Tie first examination under the new
Law will be held on July 25 and IS In
any of the counties Of the state which
desire examinations on those dates,
that being before the first regular ex-
animation under the new law, which

REFUSES TO TAKE BONDS.

Bank Says Levles are Not Sufficient
to Equal Warrants Issued.
At the spring election the voters OF
Aberdeen gave their consent to the Is
suing Of $4,000 bonds, $4,000 Of
which was to be used for the building
of a new school house, and the bal
ance to be used to refund outstanding
warrants. The Harris Trust & Saw
inss bank of Chicago, to which the
bond issue was awarded, has refused
to take the bonds, claiming hat the
warrants are illegal, and stating as
ground for that assertion that levies
have not been issued. The company
will take the bonds for $4,000 to build
a new school if a special election will
be held to get proper consent. The re-
suit Of this condition is that the presi-
dent of the board, H. S. Williams, will
refuse to sign any more warrants I'M
less the levies are sufficient to cover
them, and also that the school board
will make a tax levy for school pur-
poses of twenty-five mills, which will
be the limit allowed by law. The
board will meet soon to discuss the
matter and come to some agreement

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question of Interest to All Care
full Persons.

Arguments on food are interesting
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like tc
feel that life has been taken to feed
them. nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con.
sumption Of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,
ETC., produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch Is digested). are over
taxed and the food fsrments, produc
ing gas, and microbes generate in the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
pe%ritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown In the food "Grape-Nuts," where
the starch is changed into a form Of
sugar during the process Of its manu-.
facture. In this way, the required
food is presented to the system in q
p~re-digested form and Is Immediately
made into blood and tissue, without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
Is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why in mental:
Because the food contains delicate
particles OF Phosphate Of Potash OBJ
tanned from the grains, and this unitei
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to re-
build worn out cells in the brain

The outline of the work is that of ref

which failed, giving the reason for
their failure, if it can be learned; the
effects Of laws which have been passed
in different states, and how they
would apply in South Dakota; togeth-

clared by the different state courts
to be constitutional, with the reasons
for such rulings of the courts.

sire. 1t will keep him out of Difficult

with it's management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
er than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become q pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments TO policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were $21, $50, 761. 1t is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments mad" to living
policy holders. Thus, wulle DEATH
claims were ~$11,1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$~10,4S0.135. Modern life insurance, as
