WHERE MENUS CAME FROM

THE menu" in the sense of the details of
dinner. is probably as old men learned
in the art of cooking. One of the most curious
menus is that given by Aristophanes in his
comedy, The Assembly of Women 1t is
expressed in six lines, which form a single
word, but a word consisting of not less than
seventy-seven syllables, and this word enumer-
ates all kinds of imaginable dishes, the names
of which are so closely knit together that they
cannot be separated. Here it is

The dishes here enumerated are: Oysters
salt meat, turbot, sharks heads. silphium
with pungent sauce seasoned with honey
thrushes, blackbirds, turtle doves cocks
combs, moorhens. pigeons, hare with wine
sauce, tendon of veal. and chicken wings
The origin of the menu in the sense of a
bill of fare-l.e., written or printed enumer
alton of the dishes at public dinner-was in
1905 when the Count Hugo de Montfort
noticed at a banquet given in honor of the
Diet of Regensburg, that the Duke of Bruins
wick had near his plate a piece of parchment
which he consulted from time to time. When
asked the purpose of the parchment, the
Duke told him that he had ordered his head
cook to write on it in order the various dishes
to be served SO that he might reserve the nee
essary appetite for those he liked best This
bright idea initiated by the COR
mands. and later on introduced In all banquets.

Legislature Will Convene

The curtain will rise early in
the week on another session of
the South Dakota legislature. In
the past the play has in many re-
spects been a comedy, but we are
promised this session something of
a more serious nature. May the
Lord in his infinite mercy save US
from a legislature like that of the
old corporation dominated regime
and likewise from some of the
freaks of mis-legislation that we're
unloaded upon us by the last legis-
lature, parading under the banners
of reform.
OF course there will be the
election of a United States Sena-
tor to succeed Senator Kittredge.
This event will likely not cause q
ripple of excitement. The legis-
lature though not legally bound, is
under moral obligations to carry
out the will Of the people rs ex-
pressed in the June primaries.
Crawford will receive the united
support of the republican men,
bers of the legislature and it is
likely that the complimentary vote
of the democratic members will 20
to Andrew E. Lee.
A matter of considerable inter.
eet to our rea lers is the action

by the last session Lyman an>
Stanley counties have adopted ,
herd law by an overwhelming
vote, but that has not ended the
matter by any means. Penning
ton county homesteaders failed ir
their attempt to get vote on the
law, and have turned to their
representative, Colonel Hare for
assistance. Other of the counties
where the free range law still ap.
plies are joining forces, and it is a
foregone conclusion that bill
will be introduced repeating the
free range features Of the law
passed at the last session. What
the fate of the proposed law will
be can not be foretold, but it is
generally believed that a bill re-
pealing the free range for the en-
tire state will become law. Be-
fore that is accomplished, there is
apt to be struggle Of no mean
proportions.
The matter is of importance to
Stanley county settlers rs we'll as
those Of adjoining counties, for the
passage of such an act would for
eyer dispell any question as to the
constitionality Of the law we voted
into effect last November. Both
our representative and senator will
be expected to support such bill
if introduced.
The temperance people have
started another petition for a local
option law, and this matter is
bound to come up, though the
legislature will, if the petition has
tho requisite number of names,
have no other duty than the sub
mission of the law for vote of
the people.
There are rumors of bank de-
post guarantee law, and it is
generally understood that Govern
or Vessey will recommend such a
law. Legislation of this kind is
likely to cause more or less dis
cussion and controversy, for if
passed by the republican legisla-
ture of this state, it will put the
party on record us opposed to the
platform adopted BY the last ma
tional republican convention.
The insurance people have been
robbed about as long as they care
to be for the benefit of few
factional newspapers, and will
ask the repeal of the law requiring
publication of financial statements.
Here there promises to be q row
Of no small magnitude.
Anti corporation laws will be
presented galore. Among those
scheduled for a grilling may bo
mentioned the railroads, express
companies, the Standard Oil Com
pany, and tho telephone compan-
les.

Truth Hath Risen

Evidently this is not going to
be very cheerful Christmas for
the sporting editor of the Rapid
River Ua.) Rustler. 1t may be
that sports news is scarce out in
Rapid River, or then again things
may be breaking badly for the
scribe. At any rate, bark to his
plant from the current issue of
the Rustler:
II don't know how newspapers
came to be in the world. l don't
think God does, for he hasn't any
thing to say about them and edi-
tors in the Bible. l think the edi-
tor is one of them missing links
you read of. He stayed in the
bushes until aftor the food, and
then came out and wrote the thing
up, and has been there ever since.
II don't think he ever dies. l
never saw q dead one and never
heard of one getting licked.
If the editor makes mistake
people say he ought to be hung;
but if a doctor makes any mistakes
he buries them and folks dassent
say nothing. because doctors can
read and write Latin.
when the editor makes 4 mis-
take there is law suit and swear
ing and big fuss; but If = doctor
makes one there is a funeral, cut
flowers and perfect silence.
A doctor can use q word = mile
long without him or anybody
knowing what it means; but if the
editor uses one he has to spell it.
If the doctor goes to see an
other mans wife be charges for
the visit; but if tho editor goes he
gets 4 charge of buckshot.
when the doctor gets drunk it
is . case of being overcome by
the heat, and if he dies it's from
heart trouble; when an editor gets
drunk it is a plain case of too
much booze, and when he dies it
10 from q cause too disgraceful to
speak of.
ANY old college can make a
doctor; IN editor has to be born."
Let US hope that by this time
the silver Innings which are be-
hind tho Rapid River clouds have
begun to assert themselves, and
that the sporting editor of the
Rustler is more contented with
his lot.-Des Moines Capital.

Not All Local Talk.

So much has been said lately in
a trivial way regarding the decis-
of the General Land office in the
case of the United States VS.. Sat
rang, that we publish the following
clipping from the Sioux Fails Ar
gus-Leadcr, the leading newspa-
per of the state. The decision
has been referred to rs local
newspaper talk, y and only "a scare
hatched up by a versatile Stanley
county editor" but the clipping
indicates that the discussion is not
confined to the local papers. 1t
is, in fact being commented on
generally everywhere.
News comes from Washington
that q number of homestead en-
tries have been cancelled, and the
new filings recognized, because of
the failure on the part of the
original entrees to show good
faith. For instance in a number
of cases, those who had lived on
the land for the required time, and
who had built shacks on the land,
sold those shacks as soon as they
proved up to others who we're en-
tering land, and then left for their
old homes, safe in the belief that
they owned the land on which they
had lived for the required time.
Others who knew of this prompt
ly fled on the land, instituted a
contest, and in all such cases the
land department has sustained the
contest, and those who sold their
shanties, left the land and re-
turned to their former home, are
finding out that they had their
hard experience for nothing.
The Argus-Leader speaks of
this for the protection of those
who have gone through the cx-
perience of taking u homestead
They have made sacrifice, and j,
is pity that they should fail to
make something by it. But the
land department requires good
faith. The homestead laws con-
template actual settlement. They
were not passed to permit specula
ton. 1t is true that in times past
the enforcement of the spirit OF
the law has been lax. This is be
cause there was plenty of land
and no especial controversy oven
the possession of any particular
quarter. Now it is different
The public domain is fast disap
peering, and the land hunger is
keen and acute. This means tina,
the homesteader must comply
rigidly and technically with the
law If he expects to avoid a win
ming contest against him. and thai
tho rulings of the department arc
each year growing more technica
and severe.
If you want to be sure of keep
ing your land, see to it that thu
shanty remains, that some on
continues to live on the land, ant
that tho laws and the rulings O
tho department are complied
with"

County Commissioners In Session
1.-The New and The Old

Commissioners Elshire, Tolton,
Hopkins Of Hayes, Sylvia, and
Addison assembled at Fort Pierre
last Monday for the purpose OF
holding the last official meeting OF
the present board. Elshire,
Sylvia, and Addison the democra-
tic member of the board retire,
having served to the ends of the
terms for which they were elected.
Tolton has been reelected. The
term for which Hopkins was elect
ed will not expire for another
year. The board has more or less
work Of a general routine nature
to accomplish hy way Of clearing
the table for the incoming board.
The new board of county COM
missioners will commence its
duties next week and the session
Will be IN important one. Upon
them will devolvc the duty Of ap-
proving official bonds for incom-
ing coming county officials; and
they will have numerous other
duties in connection with the in
auguration on a new county ad-
ministration. The new board will
be wholly republican. More than
that the county will for the first
time in many years have III entire
republican corps of county
officers. Naturally it will be up
to the party to make good, or
there will be a slathering Of the
officials heads when the voters
come to the polls two years hence.
We hear that little storm is
brewing in connection with the
Inauguration of the new board.
On account Of the uncertainty
connected with the redistricting
of the county last summer five
republicans were nominated for
county commissioner. All the
names went On the ballot and Of
course they were elected by large
majorities at the November cleo
ton. All the aspirants seek to
qualify, and as the county is only
entitled to five commissioners.
with Hopkins of Hayes holding
over it looks as if somebody was
going to loose out. We hear a
rumor to the effect that the matter
will be settled in the courts, but
just how the matter will get into
the courts or who will seek to
oust somebody does not appear.
There is a lot of mystery about
the whole affair, and every aspir-
ant seems to be keeping his hand
we'll covered. Tom Tolton Of Fort
Bennett, Eb Jones of Leslie,
George Mathieson of Fort Pierre,
F. E. Morrison of Philip. and w.
q. Hopkins of Cottonwood are the
members elected last November.
