The legislative session OF 1905 pro-
vided an appropriation for the equip
| ment of the Irvine plant at the Sioux
Falls nenitentiary, but none of the
appropriation has ever been drawn out
until the present time. The state audi
tor received a call for enough of the
fund for payment fer boiler for the
plant. 1t is likely that now, as there is
an operating fund to draw upon, the
equipment will be installed to allow
the manufacture of Irvine to begin.

much valuable information on the
subject Of animal husbandry.
The classes in the premium list
cover individuals, pen lots and car
lots in cattle, hog and sheep. There
are six prizes in each class for the
single cattle, and FIVE prizes in each
class for swine and sheep singles,
while in the car lot division there
are four prizes for all kinds in each
class In all there are nearly $1,000
in premiums, and the small farmer
and feeder has good chance to win
some ct these prizes The territory
OF the show is limited to Minnesota,
North Dakota, Montana, the north
ern part Of South Dakota and the
northern part of Wisconsin.
Also there are no classes in the
premium list tor breeding stock.
Therefore, the farmers and feeders
of this territory will not be brought
into competition with the profes-
sional herds shown at the big fairs.
The management Of the show has
felt that there is field for it in this
territory, and believe that the farm
ers and feeders will readily appre-
ciate the advantages that will accrue
to them through the building up Of
a show of this character.

1t was mellow day for such a SER
mon. The year was fulfilling all of
the promises made in early spring. In
the woods there was blaze of red, the
ripe juices OF autumn, and in the air
there was that melancholy sweetness
that makes a man think, that makes
him look upon his neighbor as his
brother. On bench not far from the
pulpit old Lin Juclllin sat, determined
to surrender himself to the influences
or the sermon. During the week Just
ended human nature had not been
overstrong in him. He had told one
man that the only truth about him
was the truth that he was a liar. had
swapped horses with a chicken ped
dler and was glad now that he had
not succeeded in overtaking him aft
terWard; he had trapped a few quails
out or season, but had sent the most
OF them to the sick---had done few 9th
er things not strictly in line, such as
hating for few moments at a livery
stable to see two dogs fight; but now
as he sat ready to listen to the word
he knew that down in his heart he
hated no man.
The old minister arose and gave out
the hymn, militant verses written by
some ancient fighter, and then looked
with scowl at the empty benches at
the rear end of the room. Old Dock

this was to be an occasion for what

And it was. The preacher tiptoed in
his wrath against the world. Never
before had that broad boulevard lead.
Ing to destruction been so frightfuIly
crowded. 1t did not seem that there
was a possible show for anyone to be
saved. And 1t was not a figurative
hell that the preacher painted, but
great pit roaring with flames. Into
the house he so strongly brought the
smell of sulphur that a boy sneezed,

all these folks that are crowdin' one

moment, looking him in the eye Il

Macs friend seemed to consider it,
If extraordinary, at any rate charming,
to hear a woman so beautiful, so shin
ing, so much to be praised herself,
heaping worship before the quiet man
sitting in the background. There he
lounged angular, plain. his long legs
crossed, his long chin in his hands,
his eyes all for his wife. He had a
still face with lurking humor that
flashed in and out under the fusillade
of her spirited personalities.

Have you an allowance?
If your husband is a saaried man
he ought to give you an allowance, be-
cause it is to be supposed that you do
your share of the work that goes to
the making of home and you are there
fore a partner in the concern.
If your husband il an artist or a
musician or a writer and is dependent
on his skill in disposing of his work,
that is to say, if he is without a reg
ular salary you can hardly expect him
to give you an allowance; but you
should make no bones of asking him
for what you need, because, again.
you are partners.
Your husband is not little tin god
on wheels.
His money is your money, and you
may depend upon it that if you were
earning and he was housekeeping he
would cheerfully and promptly ask
you for money as he needed it.
| have known wives who asked as
a favor what was theirs by right
OF course if you are merely the fine
lady with no responsibilities; if you
are member Of this and of that club
and spend your time in writing papers
on the bringing up of other peoples
children while your own are brought
up with round turn Eventually, you
have no right to ask your husband for
money. You are no longer a partner
in the concern. He is the whole thing
and he may do as he pleases with his
hard earned money.
Or If you are eXtravagant and for
your sins your husband has kept a
tight hand on the purse, l have moth
ing to say.
But If you know that you are health
lily economical, and if your husband
is doing well, why, ask him this even
ing when he comes home. Wait until
he has dined (and see that the dinner
is a good one). Then when he is smok-
ing his cigar just tell him how you
were admitted into the partnership
when you were married to him, and
that hereafter he will please see to it
that you have decent allowance.
OF course you must dress up your
request in what diplomatic robes are at
