Captain George R. Kelsey, of
Co. I'd" national guards, writes
Quarter Master Sergeant Harry
Pawson that he learns that some
of the members of the company
who have government property
are using the same when not on
duty, and he orders the quarter
master to get all the property in
and keep it. The captain says
he does not want to make any
arrests until it is absolutely
necessary.

Eessey and kean.

Hon. Robert S. Vessey and
Hon. John II. Kean were the
speakers at meeting at the
opera house last Saturday after
noon. While Saturday after
noon is not a good time for a
large gathering, those who did
get out enjoyed fine presenta-
ton of republican policies. Mr..
Vessey lays no claim to being a
polished orator, but those who
listened to him were quickly
made to feel that there was
about him a rugged honesty and
clear sighted business ability
that would make him a safe and
dependable man in any position
of trust or responsibility in
which he might be placed. He
reviewed the absurdity of com
pairing the expense of the state
today with It's expense ten years
ago. as the basis of a charge of
extravaganza, and stated a self
evident fact in asserting that the
growth of the state in population
must of necessity increase the
cost of running the state insti
yutions. He said he believed the
people of the state wanted a
clean, economical admihistra
tion of state affairs, without
graft or favOritism, but did not
want the unfortunate state
charges to be made to suffer in
order that he or any one else
should make a record for econ
omy.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Yes.
sey's address, Hon. John T.
Kean of Woonsocket, who had
been assigned to lake the place
of E. W. Martin, the speaker ad-
vertised for the meeting but who
had:to abandon the trip on &C.
count of illness, was introduced
and in very happy manner gave
a short review of the history of
both parties, and the principles
for which they contend. Mr..
kean S talk was a rapid fire gun
that kept his hearers attention
from first to last and through
which there were many bursts
ofapplause. Mr.. Kean brought
to mind in his reference to state
matters, that it was Andy Lee,
the present democratic candi.
date for governor, who as gov
ernor sent the insulting mes
sage to President Mckinley de-
manding the return of the South
Dakota regiment from the Phil
ippines before their work had
been accomplished. OF course
this letter of Governor Kean s
was simply a revival of the cop.
per headism that had assailed
Lincoln years before, and the
writer of it is probably now as
much ashamed of it as any one,
but the loyal people of South
Dakota should see to it that q
man Who could write such q let.
ter to the president should
never get another chance to mis-.
represent the people of this com
mon wealth.

Jewels of the Mind.

From Life and Perseverance, by Ell
la Wheeler Wilcox, these excerpts are
taken:
Happiness in early youth means
gayety, and merrymaking, and the as
ISOLATION with pleasure-loving friends
and a succession of amusements.
Happiness in mature life means the
ability to take an optimistic view OF
events, and the power to keep hope
and faith alive in the midst of trouble
and sorrow.
The power of the spoken worl is
not realized by most of us. We think
We have faith, and we believe we have
hope, yet we do not assert these pos
SESSIONS every day with regularity, or
insist upon them as we feel the ap
proach of fear and worry. The same
proficiency in healthful and healing
thought energy can be acquired by pa
thence and persistency as in music or
languages, if We are willing to work
for it,
Life becomes a great privilege to
those who fully identify themselves
with the best optimistic thought OF
the day and who make practical efforts
to live the thought.
But it can only be accomplished by
continual and unremitting effort. No
one writer or authority on these sub
iects should be studied to the eXclu-
sion of all others.
We must keep out of ruts; We must
avoid bigotry and hero-worship; we
must allow no mortal to dominate us;
let there be many windows to our
souls. and through each window let
the light shine.
Just as the musician studies the
work of many composers, the progress
sive student studies widely and selects
such ideas and suggestions as are
most suited to his needs.
But keep studying Never imagine
the education is finished! 1t will not
finish until we reach the centre. And
we must pass through many spheres
and many incarnations before that
goal is obtained.
Life is glorious privilege II we
known how to use it, and however long
the way, it will shine with radiance to
the end, ii we keep our mind linked
to the sun.
