You can't always tell what will nap

You can't always tell what will nap
pen, says an exchange. For instance,
here is story of a man determined to
commit suicide. He went and bought
a rope can of oil, box of matches,
some arsenic and arevolver. He went
to the river and pushed his boat from
the shore and padded down to where
a limb hung over the water and then
got up in the bow of boat where
he tied one end of the rope to the
limb and the other around his neck,
satuated his clothing with oil, lit a
match and set his clothing afire, took
a dose Of arsenic, put the muzzle Of
the revolver to his temple and pulled
the trigger. The bullet glanced and
cut the rope above him and he fell in
to the water which put out the fire
and got strangled and coughed up the
arsenic, rose up, waded out and de-
clared himself a candidate on the
democratic ticket.-Lennox Inde-
pendent.

Men of steady habits and willing to
learn are in demand at the twine
plant at Sioux Falls. No one will be
considered who does not come recon-
mended by ciriuit Judge within the
state. The job is permanent, posi-
tions being secured for as long a
time as the recommendation requests.
The twine plant is anxious to start
up and do up the trust, but men of
the requisite character are scare in
South Dakota. About half the re-
publican party has been recommend
ed by the other half as worthy of jobs,
but the recommendations have not
been properly signed. Raising men
to run the twine plant promises to
be great deal bigger problem than
raising money to build darlington
Sun.

gloom. There is but one more
chance. He pulls himself together,
his frame like iron. His features are
immovable; the ball once more speeds
towards the plate. With one supreme
effort he swings the stick and
sends the ball to distant corner of
the field and dauntless Ewing starts
upon the last circle of bases. One
two-three, the ball is being rapidly
returned. Will he make it? 1t was
close race. He takes the one and
only chance, and throws himself
headlong upon the ground for the
last slide. For moment all is con-
fusion. Suddenly the dust clears
away and the Greet Umpire Of the
Universe is heard to say ''safe at
home"

STANLEY COUNTY TO LEAD

In the past year or so there has
been considerable talk of dividing
Stanley county and creating several
counties. One class of people more
than any others can be expected to
oppose division in any manner, and
that is the one composed OF lovers of
gigantic statistics. Stanley county
Is big now in many ways, and it is
bound within short space of time
to lead in various other ways.
We are large as county, seco nd
only to Butte county in comparison
with all others in the state. We
cover more ground than some two or
three eastern states.
We are big in assessed valuation.
The returns made to the state board
by Auditor Kennedy shows the assess
ment for this year being on property
valued on the lists at four million
dollars. 1t has gained million and a
half, taking the assessors books for it,
of taxable property since last year.
Politically we are going to be big.
Stanley county's vote may be such as
to swing the state in any political
fight that may come up. Our delega-
tions to the state conventions will
have to be reckoned with as controll-
ing factors, when their size is arrang-
ed according to the votes which will
be cast this fall and In coming years.
We are going to lead, too, as an
agricultural and diversified farming
country. Year before last our ex-
hibit at the state fare won the blue
ribbon and we bid fair to do it again
this year.
1t is truely the Empire of Stanley
in more ways than one.

PLAYING Hobo"

One of the very best dressed young
men of Philip, and hero Of base
ball fans, was short time ago TAX
ing trip through northeastern
South Dakota. He had just returned
from meadow, where some young
corn huskers were trying to play the
great national game. OF course, he
was somewhat dusty, and wore a
sweater. AS he was lounging about
the depot he was hailed by member
of the "weary travellers" who want
ed some help in the way of getting
something to eat. Our friend in
formed the tramp that he, too, was a
member of the Ancient and Anal
gated Organization of Rest, and was
"broke" and hungry. Believing that
he had found a pal, the tramp sug-
gested that each do what he could in
the way Of getting rations. Our base
ball friend succeeded in passing the
"out of work" plea to the extent OF
three loaves of bread, while his erst-
while companion got some meat.
The stolen vegetables from nearby
garden completed the list of proyi.
siong. The two then built fire in
a shady place and proceeded to salts.
fly the calls of hunger In true tramp
style.
Our friend remarked that the
tramp seemed to be prefectly con-
tented, was man of some learning,
had gathered a great deal Of informa.
tion through his travels and was up.
on the whole, a very interesting
specimen of the species hobo. The
man, was simply seeing the world in
the cheapest way, and he seemed te
find his was as profitable and inter.
esting as if he was travelling in
palace cars and putting up at the
best hotels.
Philips well dressed knight of the
diamond has not yet made up his
mind whether he would like to make
"hoboing" permanent calling, and
we will probably be able to keep him
among us for some time to come.

The Good Roads Question

Good roads are the demand In all
new countries, and Stanley county is
no exception. In fact, one can run
up against demand for better
roads in our booming county any
time of the day or night. Every set
tier has to get to town, hence he
wants the best roads possible TO
travel over, and prefers that they
take the shortest route from his
shack to town, too. Emphatically,
the days of the old Indian trails
have passed.
Sometimes one meets man who
is inclined to be reasonable in regard
to the road question, and recognizes
the fact that it takes time, years in
instances, to put the highways In the
condition they should be. Culverts
must be built, bumpy places must be
leveled up and hills cut down. 1t all
takes money and that available for
road purpoaes is always sadly def
cient.
For several weeks past the business
men of Philip have been up against
heavy proposition in regard to
road south through the breaks and
up onto the fiat which lays between
Bad river valley and the wall Of the
Bad Lands. Those who have bought
stock their holdings are not good for
much else-haye fenced up to the
section or half section line. So the
people who have wanted to get into
town have been practically cut of
from us; we know of instances where
settlers have travelled six to eight
miles out of their way to get to town.
Under the supervision Of Road
Supervisor Waddell number of
teams have been working the half
section line south Of town by the
Morrison ranch and the Walden
claims to the north line Of the school
section, thence east to the open
country, where travellers can easily
make to the fiat. At the first hill
out from town, which would have
been impossible In the winter time,
permission has been gained to cut
around the hill. The road has been
worked over as much as possible
with the means at hand, ana is in a
fairly passable condition. Next year
when more road money is available,
more work win be done, and our
patrons from the south will, we hope
appreciate the fact that every thing
is being done that is possible. Nature
has given the road worker a hard
proposition to contend with, and 1t
will take time, as well as money, to
do the amount of grading required
and in the proper way.

SUBLlME-OR WHAT?

Death sermon preached over champ
ion ball player at Cincinnati by Rev.
Don G. Tulliswas:

The score is a tie. Everything Il in

has heard the plaudits Of thousands

The directoire gown is receiving
considerable attention from our ex-
changes. 1t is said to be slit up on
each side far enough to make walking
easy for the wearer. Only one of the
newspaper boys claim to have seen

The talk in both of the politica
parties about publicity of the cam
paign funds sounds good, of course,
and 1T is to be hoped that every cent
taken in and expended will be put
down in the books. with all proper
credits given. At the same time, 1t is
hard to see how 1t is going to be pos
BILE to prevent corrupt use of money
on both sides if anyone corrupt
enough to give it and another with
enough Of the same brand to take it
can be found. When no written re-
cords are kept, it is hard thing to

The new primary law, given it's
first tryout in this state last month,
is subject that is doing good SER
vice these hot months as space
filler. 1t is generally admitted that,
while the law stands in good way to
have some improvements tackled on
to it In spots where it is weak, as a
general proposition it will have to
stay. For good many of us, we
would rather have the good old con-
vention system. It's much more fun,
and defeated candidate can get
just as sore. However, the new law
will stick, we guess. The main cogs
want it, even if some of them did
'ust get there" And it's an easy
way to spend thepublic's money, too.
