The Spirit of Winter.

The Spirit of Winter is with us, making its presence known in many different ways-sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snows, and sometimes by driv ing winds and blinding storms To many people it seems to take a delight in mak ing bad things worse, for rheumatism twists harder twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scrofula area developed and aggravated There is not much poetry Tn this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of these ailments. The medicine that cures them Hoods Sarsaparilla-is easily obtained and there is abundant proof that it's cures are radical and permanent.

Trinity Guilds Bazaar.

Lennon and vicinity turned
out in gala, Wednesday evening.
and en- masse at that, to do honor
to the bidding of the ladies guild
of Trinity Episcopal church.
The spacious store room Of the
Lennon block was prettily orna-
mented with booths for the occa-
sion, and throughout the evening
it was crowded with a merly y
throng.
At the entrance a very attrac-
tive booth was presided over by
kimono-ladies who daintily served
the national drink of Nippon, ac-
companied by delicate tiGbits
such as one usually misses from
the hotel bill of fare. Further
on there was the fair booth, where
the thousand-and-one articles of
handwork which the deft fingers
had been preparing for months,
were sold To be sure, there too
was a patriotically ornamented
booth where those with a sweet
tooth found ample satisfaction.
The realm of mystery was pre-
sided over by Mrs. Lindholn,
posing as Astra the Gypsy queen,
who was ever ready to tell the
curious theie future by the aid of
the cards. This booth was most
lavishly draped andelicited especi
ial comment. Then, last but not
teast, there was the Dutch booth
meaning a place where the
substantials for the inner man
stood ready for the hungry-and
the hungry were there for the
booth.
The ladies acted the part Of
+ hOSteSSeS In a manner most
charming and were rewarded for
their zeal by substantial aid to
their strong box. More than
enough to pay for the church lot
was secured.
Later Robinson s orch astra soon
had the assembly on their feet,
and the gay Terpsichorear cult
held the crowd in sway till the
/ following mornings little hours.

From among the many who
seek to serve their county in off
cial capacity, none appears to be
better fitted for the place he
seeks than E. E. Cathcart, who
aspres to the office of clerk of
court. Mr.. Cathcart is at pre-
principal of the Lennon public
schools. He came to Perkins
county early last summer, found
the country good enough for him
self, got a claim near White
Butte, some 18 miles away from
Lennon, and Immediately pro-
ceeded to grow up with the
country, He is a splendidly
trained young man and more
over has that absolutely neces-
sary vein Of deep earnestness
about him that stamps him as a
man of character. His candidacy
is one we'll worthy Of considera-
ton by the citizens of Perkins
county and if he is elected, it is
safe to say he will fill the post to
satisfaction.

The energy of the printer folk
of staid old Hettinger town is
something verify phenomenal.
And the evidences of that energy
just to hand in a couple of Christ
mas editions, fairly take ones
breath away, and involuntarily
conjure up the query, How, the
d did you do it," But,
here they are, both of them,
sple d II worked up 24-page
Xmas edition Of the Headlight,
brim full of interest to every
booster of the "Eldorado of the
Dakotas," and a 3O-page Qet-up
of the Adams county Record, re-
plete with fine editorial CONNER t,
finely conceived sketches, and in
fact a veritable cyclopedia of all
pertaining to state-line folk and
their conquest of the wilderness.
1t would be unjust to praise one
effort above the other, for both
of them are splendid, matchless
examples of journ, site zeal and
ability, and while we co lgratulate
the publishers upon their achiev-
ement, we con gratul a e
the town Of Hettlnger still more
upon the fact of having two
newspapers as high class as are
the Record and the Headlight,
incidentally hoping the town may
ever prove worthy cf them. The

two Christmas efforts is exceller
and inspiring. Hettinger shows
in these pages that it is capable

Kentucky when a man was hanged for having avenged a wrong done woman It is based upon facts and sentiments prevalent in the first half of the last century when the law of human nature asserted itself over the written law.
 It tells the story of a time when the heart of true chivalry honor and cour- age the honor of beautiful women and the courage of brave men was an exalted thing to be vindicated at the risk of all else.
 The delicate subject is carefully handled and there is a touch of natural humor to relieve the somberness.
 At the last Wallace Darrell and his wife die by their own hands, clasped in each others arms, thus cheating what the law had called justice and we are further told in the book that since that time no court of justice in the state has ever adjudged guilty a yindicator of the unwritten law"
