MRS. DRESSER RECEIVES
HER DIVORCE DECREE

Sioux Falls, s. D., Aug. 13.-Deserted by
her rich husband deprived temporarily OF
the custody of her daughter, and with no
fixed alimony, Mrs. Daniel Leroy Dresser.
wife of the president Of the Shipbuildtng
Trust Company OF the Republic. Of New
York city, was yesterday granted a d.
vorce. 1t is noted, however, that United
States Senator Kittredge was attorney for
the lady and his law partner. E. r. Wi
mans, represented the husband, hence il
appears as a typical South Dakota divorce
by agreement in which neither the alimony
nor the real evidence need appear. The
divorce was granted by Judge Smith, Of
Mitchell. sitting in the state circuit court
for Judge Jones of this city.
Mrs. Dresser lived quietly for four
months in this city before her IDENTIFY
became known. and then only through the
successful attempt of her husband to gain
possession Of their daughter which he kid
mapped from the porch of the house where
his wife and daughter were rooming.

OF STOCK.

There are individual characteristics IN
animals just as there are in men; some
are born cranky and others docile, saw,
the st. Louis Journal of Agriculture. This
fact should be borne in mind when train
ing colts or calves. Poor treatment of the
young animals has a decidedly unpleasant
effect upon the grown animal, and the
fruits of careless or impatient treatmen.
Will generally boomerang back to the
master when the animal reaches maturity.
The mistreated calf will kick the milk
pail over; the small colt kicked and ierked
about and fretted to death will balk, kick
and act stubborn. Haven't you noticed
that some COWS and horses like to be
petted or fondled around the head and
others get ugly if you get too familiar
with them?
Disposition is both born and made.
Born Kindness and ugly tempers are
things that may De developed. The skill
full trainer can overcome even a bad dis
position by kindness. If taken in time.
Parental conditions surrounding the dam
have much to do with the making of dis.
position in the young. The dam should be
treated kindly and kept free from annoy
ances that irritate the temper. Kindness
is reflected in the offspring. Then what
little inherent tendency to be cross may
be overcome by kindness.

FREEZE THE ICE CREAM

Stamford, Conn. Aug. 13.-When
William A. White. of No. 115 Myrtle
ave-, labored as an editorial writer for
Connecticut newspapers his work was
noted for a flavor of originality. Now
he has retired after 40 years as a news
paper man and he runs a little printery
premises here, but he has not forgotten
how to be original.
That was evident when a party of
friends found him trying out a new
way of operating an ice cream freezer
He lac a regulation freezer i~ngeniously
connected with the job press. and While
he turned off hand bills and bill heads
on the electrically driven press, the
family ice cream was being frozen. In
five minutes he had enough for dinner.

EDISON INVENTS

New York. Aug. 1S.--The first fruits
of retirement OF Thomas A. Edison, the
great inventor. has come in the IN
nouncement that he has invented a
flying machine which Henry Farman.
the French aeroplanist. thinks is bet
ter than the machine he brought from
France. So interested was the French
man that he went out to Edison's lab
oratory to talk with the inventor
about it.
Mr.. Edison a got no farther than
plans, but that is the whole job with
him. He sent TO Mr.. Farman yester-
day plans for a ship h a would not
only fly, but would ascend from the
ground straight up to a height ac
which it's flight might be begun. Mr..
Farman's machine is handicapped by
the necessity of rising with running

AIRsHIPs TO REVoLuTIoNlzE
WARFARE, SAYS EXPERT

Washington, Aug. 13.-That airships
will play an important part in the
next war between world powers; that
the civil wal would have lasted but
nine months if either army had had a
balloon corps like that now at Fort
Myer, Va, and that the United States
should secure the services of the
Wright brothers and Thomas S. Bald-
win, were the opinions expressed by
Colonel James Temple, until recently
in command of the aeronautical di-
vision of the British army, after a.
visit to Fort Meyer, where he inspected
the Baldwin airship. He has left for
Chattanooga. Tenn, on a tour of the
principal battlefields of the civil war
to learn What could have been ac-
complished had a balloon corps been
available at the time of those battles.

THE RAISING OF SHEEP.

NO other Dfanch or the live stock indus
try has had more ups and downs than
Sheep raising. In some sections, particu-
larly the extreme southwest, sheep are
raised almost solely for wool, because in
a warm climate, where winters are late
and mild, the sheep can be sheared twice
a year. In other sections sheep are raised
more for meat han for wool. O. C. Gregg,
a Minnesota farmer, says:
During a comparatively recent time the
sheep have come to have a peculiar value
by reason of their meat product. The NUT
ton sheep of today gives it largest re-
turn from the meat which Is produced.
The use OF mutton as food in our large
cities and towns has greatly increased
during the past few years. 1t is certainly
unbusinesslike to discount the flock Of
sheep as heavily today as heretofore be-
cause the wool clip is sold at a much less
figure than a short time ago. We say this
for the benefit of the man who owns a
flock of mutton sheep today. We say
this also for the benefit of the man who
Is thinking of buying a flock of sheep. 1t
Is a good time to buy. We have had quite
a successful experience with sheep in Min
nesota. We had some experience, now
ever, that cost US something. We will
now add a few items of our costly expert
ence that may do some Of our readers
good.
First-Keer only good sheep of the NUT
ton variety upon the farms of the middle
west.
second-Don't keep too many. 1 think
that the limit of 100 breeding ewes is
about right upon the average middle
west arms. Better keep under han over
that number.
Thrd-Use the greatest of care in the
selection Of the sire SO that he has great
vig9r. i believe that there is as much or
more irregularity in quality among the
u lliblooded mutton sheep as in any other
stock that we have. First, let 1t be strong
and then get all the good hind back and
quarter that o can.
Eburth-Feed the flock in the winter
tire as much as possibly in the open. Let
than nave plenty Of exercise. We have
fed as little as possible in the sheds. do
ind this only in times Of storm.
Ffth-Let the sheds protect only from
sweeping and falling storms. Don't let
thAm be sheltered in warm stables.
Gxth-Use the greatest Of care in the
change of pasture 81 that the stomach
wofm does not assail and cause serious
loa among the lambs.
~sventh-Be sure and dip the sheep at
leait once a year. Keep a clean flock. It
caIsurely be lone. 1t costs to keep sheep
thA are infested with parasites.
Ekhth-Ever bear in mind that 1t is
muh easier to prevent the diseases In
shep than to cure them when they once
bectme fixed.

FATALLY INJURED eY
KICK FROM HORSE

Sioux Falls, s. D., Aug. 13.-As the re-
suit Of being kicked in the head by a
horse, Morris Sorenson, aged q and UNI

local coal and lumber establishment, is
in a precarious condition at the Sioux
Falls hospital. 1t is not believed he can
recover. He left the office of the COM
pany by which he is employed for the pur-
pose of going to the barn and hitching up.
Not putting in an appearance after a con-
siderable time had elapsed. one of the
members of the firm went to the barr to
investigate. and found Sorenson in an
unconscious condition near one of the
horses. The injured man was at once
taken to the hospital, where his wound
