The Presidents Salary.

1t is safe to say that very few of the
people living in this country know how
the president of the United States
draws his salary of $4,000 year. OF
those few who may have given the
matter thought, large majority do
not know whether he receives his sal
airy monthly, quarterly or semiannual-
ly AS matter of fact, the salary due
the president is taken to the White
House by trusted messenger from the
Office of the treasurer of the United
States on the last day of each month
and handed over to the official whose
business it is to look after it The
president receives his salary in the
shape of check, the $4,000 being di-
vided into eight checks of 81, 1867 each
and four checks of $4,166.66 each.
Thus one month out of every three the
president receives / cent less on his
check than he does the other two. Some
such arrangement as this is necessary,
as, of course, $4,000 is not exactly di-
visible by twelve.

Special to the Herald.
Sioux Falls, S. D., June 1.-THE
appeal in the case of Mrs Emma
Kaufman came up for hearing in the
supreme court today Mrs. Kaufman
is the wife of a wealthy brewer and
one of the pioneer residents of this
city. She was convicted and SEN
fenced to prison more than a year
ago on the charge of having killed
Agnes Polreis, a sixteen-year-old girl
employed as a servant in the Kauf-
mann household
The girl died in a local hospital on
June 1, 1906. Reports which came to
the ears of the authorities led to the
body being taken up after burial and
an examination showed, it is alleged,
that the girl had died from severe
beatings. Statements made by some
of the girls fellow servants and by
neighbors resulted in a charge of
murder being brought against Mrs.
Kaufman. Witnesses testified at

Last Evening.


The Chautauqua opened in the city
hall last night, and will continue af-
ternoon and evening for eight days.
A fair audience was present last eve
ming to hear Taffy Sears in one of
his famous lectures. DR.. Sears creed
is Blessed are the fat and bald
headed, for they are of the kingdom
s of heaven" and he lives up to it. He
is fat and he is bald-headed, and he is
also bubbling over with cheerfulness
and good humor. DR.. Sears is a
preacher, but does not wear his re-
ligion up and down his face, as he
describes it, but across his face, and
gets a great deal of happiness out of
life. His lecture was well received,
and he made friends with all who
heard him.
The Fulcher entertainers we're also
heard last night, and contributed to
the pleasure of the evening.
A matinee is being given this after
noon at 4, and another program will
be rendered this evening. If you en-
joy literary and musical entertain
ment you should attend the Chautau-
qua.

Feminine inconsistency.

A clubwoman, writing in the Phila-
aelphia Record, reveals a feminine in
consistency in the peculiar views held
by come women about the use of their
first names. She says:
"a couple of years ago / had Occa-
sion to send letter to married wo-
man, and in addressing her wrote
Mrs. Henry - Imagine my sur
prise when in reply / received an in
dignant letter from her, in which she
said: 4 do not at all like to have my
identity submerged in that of my hus
band. l do not see why l cannot be
addressed by my own name. Because
l should lose my individuality? My
name is Anna The next letter
wrote to the indignant wife you can
be sure it bore the first name of the
woman in question, but the climax
came recently, when the husband died
and my fastidious friend was left
widow. l wrote her on club business
and, bearing in mind her first scol1
ing, took particular pains to address
her as Mrs. Anna - The answer
to this from her makes me SILVER to
think about. DO you think | have so
far forgotten my beloved Henry, she
said, as to be willing to abandon his
name altogether? l wish you would
address me as Mrs. Henry in the fu-
ture, please. l may be an unfortunate
widow. but still bear my husbands
