This little book. which has enjoyed

Of the second coming of Christ. The
author believes that Christ first came
into mems vision by coming on the
plane of their senses: he comes The
second time into mems vision by lifting
them up into his plane of spiritual
con- prehension which means a new

cannot help being impressed with the

BRINGING GOOD PRICES
School ands in Southern and Central
Portions of State Sell at
Good Figures

NOO~
Pierre, April 29.-The sales of the
state school lands in the southern
and central counties of the state
where the offerings have so far been
made this spring have been most sat
isfactory, bringing prices for raw
lands ranging from $32 to $55. Such
sales show in what estimate South
Dakota lands are held as all of the
sales we're of raw prairie without
improvement whatever upon any of
them. In Hamlin county thirty-nine
tracts were disposed of, at prices
ranging from $50 to s55 an acre,
with an average of SAP. In Hanson
county thirty-three tracts were dis
posed of at prices ranging from $32
to $45. In Miner county the sales
were light with but four tracts, which
brought from $35 to $50 an acre.
In K%ingsbury county seven tracts
we're disposed of at prices from s35
to SAP. Hutchinson county lands
went a from $40 to SO an acre,
with thirteen tracts disposed of at
these figures. Turner county lands
brought from$35 to s4S, seven tracts
being taken. The sales will bring
to the department at such selling
prices a fund with which many of
the applications for loans can be fill
ed and relieve the pressure from
counties which are waiting for the
mnnay for that nnrnnse.

will occur the change in the city

his DUTIES: Perhaps the most inn-
portant POSITION within the disoosi-
ton OF tile mayor is that of cuief of

OF prohibition may or may not be
rather strenuous-owing to the
manDe in which the possible viola

violators of the law will not neces-
sarily be many. When the possible
violators come to realize that bust

very much OF 1t.
Among the gentlemen who are
assuring to become chief OF police
are f.. j. Pu,dy. John Slater,

men to be appointed, and the
Indications point to the fact that all
new men will be appointed. There
are not many candidates for appoint

Ki,Dble is about the only one who
has expressed a deisre for the posi-

mayor-elect will make any changes
either at the waterworks, or the

service is being rendered.
Mayor Elect Hitchcock is of the
opinion that the W question il

Mitchell has to solve, for she city is

Put the cup in right side up, that is,
with the yellow peel below, and pour
red wine into it. The wine will run
through the holes and you must keep
on pouring until the level of the wine

of the cup. Now fill the rest of the

Soon you will see a thin red jet OF

the same time, though you cannot see

flows downward through the other

The two liquids do not mix much,
but merely exchange places, so that
in few minutes the lower part of the
glass, below the cup, will contain the
water and the upper part will be filed
with wine.
This is as it should be, because
water is heavier than wine and natur-
ally goes to the bottom. The curious
thing is that the wine and water do

In the morning anywhere to start our
hearts singing at the dawn of the day,
II only we would look out. 1t would
be well IL all of us could be awakened

something worth seeing If we would

This is true not only of nature, but
of all the experiences Of life. We
allow ourselves to be too much i'm

troubles and the unpleasant things
bulk too largely in our vision. We

frets and cares. I. every morning
we would fling open our windows and
look out on the wide reaches of God 8

The real question Is whether the

frage. Clearly that is point which
should be determined by women them
selves. If they should see fit to
waive their obvious prerogative for
the common good, the decision would
rebound greatly to their credit, but
1t is one which, frankly, we, IL In
their place, should make only after
most careful consideration. But we
feel satisfied that men now possessing
authority will make no further mark
ed concessions in respect to the gov
erning power unless and until women
voluntarily place themselves under
equal moral limitations Whether,
in the event of their deciding to do
so, an attempt should be made to
revise the Commandments to conform
to modern conditions, or to compose
a special Decalogue for Women, il
a question for the theologians, and
one which at the moment we do not
feel called upon to discuss.-George
