HORSE AND WAGON FOUND
2 WEEKS AGO UNCLAIMED.

Two weeks ago the police OF the
Third Precinct found a horse and
wagon at Market and Prospect streets
which had apparently been abandoned
by its owner. and up to the present
time there has been no trace of the
owner discovered. When brought in
the rig had been standing for five
hours at the corner. The horse is in
good condition. but the wagon has been
painted red over its former green coat,
as if it had been stolen and so painted
to prevent Identification.

FRANKNESS AS A DUTY

managers frank their shareholders and to the public We confess
that the absence of fnkncss by hepope as to the value of the

This excellent for broker to deliver to his clients
and the continued preaching the duty of ankness will ultimately
remedy the evil and make such preaching Why should
nknes upon the not be acknowledged as
duty? The important thing that such acknowledgement by IN
vestor very persons be benefited by it, would presently
force itself upon those managers who feel interest in the activity of
companies shares While the whole body Of stockholders in
given corporation benefited by having active market place for
their holdings that managers possess any
speculative interests that opposed the interests OF the entire as
If they have they have less for disregard

in withholding their trading from shares whose issuing officers 90
not acknowledge frankness duty
Notwithstanding the apparent of this reasoning
frequently investors who justify and applaud want OF
mnkness in corporation 1t not always easy to under
stand why they do but in instances the clear 1t may
be due to Ignorance OF first principles and the supposon that those

The brokers who plead for the acknowledgment OF ankn

in the direction of Aberdeen, you
would have seen a blue-coated minion

the employment of the road.
The writer. making a quick trip
from Evarts to Aberdeen. was loung-

unbearable to the railroad man and
he re-entered the trainman's apart
ments. I've seen that there burg grow

Aberdeen then" he soliloquized, but
Jess used to drive his cows across the
prairie to where the river jines the
Moreau and there they'd ferry the hull
outfit across for a couple o. dollars.
Then he'd have nice long ride to
Aberdeen.
"Once when Jess wife and darters
came down to live with him, the ole
man was ketched by some rustlers
from up north and they stole his
pony, cows and money. Jess had to

bridge. received most of the Evarts
people. When everybody had left, the
railroad tore down its depot, great
gangs of men jerked the tracks from
their cedar ties and the short line
from Aberdeen was a thing Of the
past.
Across the barren plains between
Aberdeen and Evarts millions upon
millions of cattle of every description
had been carted in great long freight
cars to be eventually disposed of in
Chicago. Milwaukee, St. Louis, New
York, Buffalo and in fact all of the
big eastern marts of trade. On august
l, 1908. came the official ending of the
town. All its books were closed on
that date; its employees were officially
dismissed then and their salaries to
that time were paid them, although
most of the public officials and their
families had left Evarts several weeks,
some of them months before.
The casual observer, perhaps in a
launch may go up to the landing at
the center of the town and there tie
his craft for to;sr of inspection, but
his efforts to unearth the mysterious
about what was once Evarts will be
fiaitless, for everything of any value
whatsoever has been carried away
and scarcely stick of wood was left
by the economical natives. who now
call themselves citizens Of other
South Dakota villages.
Scores of towns have suffered the
same experience which befell Evarts,
but the latter's passage to oblivion
was perhaps more sudden. more spec
tacular and more regretted than any
which have got into the public prints
in a decade or more.
If you had happened" into Evarts
two years ago and then dropped few
days ago you would pinch yourself
twice to see If you were awake. This
by reason of the contrast. Two years
ago you would have seen roughly clad

A Culinary Existence.

woman's culinary existence is one
long vicarious sacrifice. Very few
women care for food as food. When
It is for themselves it quite singularly
fails to interest them. Their function,
I cannot honestly call it their pleas
ure, is to prepare it for masculine des-
tination. Really nice" women never
seem to know what they are eating.
Single women, living for themselves,
so far as can make out, do not eat
at all. Many of them turn food re-
formers, so as to be able, If possible,
to eat still less. When a married
woman turns food reformer depend
upon it her married life is not a
happy one.
Housekeeping is by far the most
difficult of all the professions; and a
woman who is good housekeeper
would, If she were a man, be a Car
negie. The distinctive tragedy of her
situation is that while one may as
sumo Mr.. Carnegie to be interested in
steel, women have no inherent inter
est in food, which is the pivot of their
household work, and only apply them
selves to its problems because they are
obliged to. The really efficient mis-

a bridge which would take the bust

Appropriately the new town became

everything ahead of its inhabitants,
and whatever their past may have
been, is forgotten.
While Glenham received many OF
the Evarts people with open arms. the
greater majority went to Mobridge,
for they declared they saw greater
possibilities there because business
could be more easily transferred from
Evarts to Mobridge.
So II you should happen to be in
the vicinity of Mobridge. ask the post
master, the man at the wharf, the sta
ton agent at the depot or almost any
body the road to where Evarts once
was and take jaunt down that way.

Then strain, mix with cupful OF
syrup made with sugar and water,
boil to the thread stage. and turn in a
quart and a half of water. Stand the
drink on the ice until it is chilled.
Cool Oatmeal Water.-As an alter.
nate for barley water, for children and
invalids in summer, use oatmeal. 1t is
not only palatable. but nourishing. 1t is
made by mixing large tablespoonful
of crushed oats with little milk and
adding more milk to bring the amount
to quart.
Bring to a boil over the fire, then
draw to one side of the stove and sim
mer gently for quarter of an hour.
Strain through a cloth, add little
sugar, and put on the ice until wanted.
This drink, by the way, is excellent
for tired persons or invalids as hot
broth or chicken soup.
Lemon Ginger Beer.-Another ex-
cellent homemade drink for summer
is mixture Of lemon and ginger.
1t is as palatable to many as the i'm
ported ginger ale, which is costly to
drink If one makes a practice of it.
1t is made as follows:
Pour two gallons of cold waite. over
a half-dozen lemons thinly sliced and
add to this not quite an ounce of
ginger root. To this mixture odd a
pound and a half of sugar
Let 1t come to boil; then add
tablespoonful of cream of tartar.
Strain and set in cool place.
When nearly cold add a yeast cake
dissolved in little lukewarm water;
stir thoroughly; then set in cool
place over night.
In the morning mix well and bottle.
Be sure to make the corking alright
and lay the bottles on their sides in
