By The Calls lester

In address delivered at Stanford Uni
versity minister said that poets would be-
come statesmen and leaders of the world
News Item.
POETS TO LEAD US
Hurrah for the poet. who's long been
neglected
At primaries and at the polls
For now there's prospect that he'll be
elected
To serve in political roles.
Most varied would be the emotions ex-
cited
If speeches were chanted in rhyme.
Reports to typewriters in meter in
And prose made political crime.
Homemc
Would give to prosaic Joe c..
Or how petition in ragtime hysteric
Might win DER less rhythmic plea.
If writers of verses became the worlds
leaders
And ruled DER the nations affairs.
No poet would suffer in lacking for
readers
Or starve through not selling his
wares.
Campaigning would then be positive
pleasure,
af- for
Or doggerel poured out in generous
measure
When rivals must needs be abused.
And how would it fare with the seri-
Gus writer.
The tragical. epical bard
Would he be match for the humorous
fighter,
The one who in jingle rhyme spared?
But, anyway. let us rejoice that the
Is coming at last to his own
And spread the good news that the
rhymesters may know 1t
And SO be prepared for the throne.
THE FORBIDDEN WORD
None but the impolite would call
A rebate by it's name
But If the thing exists at all
Let some such name upon it fall
As small refunding claim"
rebate is a horrid thing,
And so illegal. too
But we can obviate the sting
And any odor that may cling,
BY calling it claims due
And thus the conscience is alIayed
BY phrase of subtle choice,
The skill with which words may be
played
Makes railroad lawyers unafraid
And railroadmen rejoice.
A HALF TRUTH
THE heroine let her beautiful hair
fall about her shoulders" wrote the
novelist. Being an idealist he neglect
ed to state that the fastenings came
loose and that the hair fell in heap
on the floor.

NOTE AND COMMENT

After the nine days of feast and
frolic are over, it will be impossible
to convince a jackie that there is any
real city outside of San Francisco.
Thirty dental surgeons are to be
appointed TO the navy. If there's
nothing else for them to do they can
attend to the traditional teeth of the
gale.
Testimony in the Tevis libel suit
shows that the grafters lost even more
than the public had suspected. In
view of the hugcness of the amount,
one can almost synlpathize with the
anger of the higherups, the lower
downs and the inbetweens who were
baked of their loot.

LIvINGSTONE'S VANITY.

The Victoria Falls of the Zambesi
river in southeastern Africa form the
largest cataract in the world. They
were discovered in 1855 by DR.. Liv-
ingstone, the great missionary and
explorer, and are found to be twice
as high and three times as broad as
Niagara. Carved upon a tree near by,
the initials ID. L." are still discernible,
and in his book the missionary con-
fesses that this was the one occasion
in his life when he was guilty of this
form of vanity. These initials are
carefully preserved by the officials of
the British South Africa Company, to
whom they were pointed out by the
native who saw them carved. Mrs.
Livingstone Bruce, daughter Of DR..
Livingstone, recently left Southhamp-
ton, England, for Rodesia to visit the
wonderful falls which her father nam
ed after Queen Victoria. The railway
from Cape Town is now completed to
the falls and a fine hotel has been
erected. The number of travellers Wis.
iting there is very large.-The Ameri
can Church Sunday School Magazine.

DAKOTA STEERS AND HEIFERS
TOP CHICAGO MARKET.

South Dakota was strictly to the
front at the Chicago stock yards on
Wednesday,, on which day William
Ham of Platte, S. d.. had on the mar
ket a consignment comprising 60 head
of fed steers averaging 1866 pounds,
which were sold to Clay, Robinson &
company at $S.15 per cwt., topping the
market for the day by Is cents per
cwt. over all other sales, as well as
scoring the highest point in something
over two weeks; that record having
also been made by Clay, Robinson &
company in the sale of a string of
Iowa beeves al S.25 per cwt. Mr..
Hams cattle were, as will be noted
above, of very strong weight. They
were branded, which fact of course,
detracted some from their selling val
ue, so the sale was really as high as
any made in a considerable period.
The same day Oscar Anderson of
Pukwana, S. d., marketed SO head of
1871 pounds spayed heifers at 500,
topping the trade for the week on that
class by a good margin. In fact, very
few lots of heifers sold during the week
above $500. The Anderson cattle
were also sold by Clay, Robinson &
company, SO the said firm achieved
the distinction of topping the weeks
trade on both steers and heifers.
The fact that South Dakota can
produce beeves good enough to top
the Chicago market, in the face of
competition from the best cattle from
the older sections, should be a source
of qualification to every South Dakota
stockman, and both the feeders and
the commission firm, whose combined
skill and ability in their respective
lines, achieved this honor for the
state, are entitled to congratulations.

tial of life, but many people injure
themselves by over-indulgence. The
qualification of the palate is consulted
rather than the real needs of the body,
and the result is often extremely dis
astrous. AS a rule. the food is good
and wholesome in itself, but it is a
case of too much of a good thing"
Again, there is nothing more evident
~ within the plan of God for us than
what we call social intercourse. Young
people, especially, are fond of meeting
and conversing with others of their
W age and tastes, and this cannot
be condemned on any ground of rea-
SON.. Yet we meet with cases-in
young and old-of social dissipation.
That means following the social in
stinct to an extreme indulgence which
leaves room in the life for nothing
else. There isn't time for reading or
study, for sober thought about any
thing, and even the supreme subject
of our individual responsibility to God
rarely m into mind: because we
are always going somewhere. or COM
ing back, tired and WORKOUT, or won
dering where we can go next. That
is a shallow, unsatisfying sort of life
fer an immortal being to be content
with. 1t is another instance of ex-
cess-"toO much of a good thing"

ORIGIN OF FOOLSCAP.

We are told that foolscap paper
marked with a fools head wearing
the cap and bells such as the privileg-
ed testers of the old nobility of Eng
land wore in the thirteenth to the
seventeenth centuries. This mark dis,
tinguished the paper until the middle
of the seventeenth century, when other
devices were adopted, but this paper
retained it's name.
