Yct him be sold / say, Let him be sold.
Even while he sumbers at his mother breast
WHY should tend a thing so bad and boid,
A snlb-nosed imp. little scratching pest!
I fni him always laughing through hs tears;
He treats his mother badly; wont be tanned
Has baby wings behind him; prizes and peers:
Behaves unruy, chatterS unaShamed-
A shocking monster! Sailor men, this way.
Who wants a boy to carry off to sea!
o dear. he's crying, Come. I'll let you stay,
And live on here with my Zenophile.

NEW LEGISLATIVE
R~EAPPORTIONMENT
COMING IN DAKOTA

Pierre, s. D., oct. 22.-From territor-
ial days the southeastern counties or
the state have held a large part of the
legislative strength in both houses on
account of population. If the next
census of the state confirms the hgures
az shown on a basis of school popula-
ton. which are further backed by the
returns Of the state census of 1905, as
compared with the census returns OF
1900. there will be a shifting or repre-
sentatives in the near future.
AS the constitution limits the mem
bershlp OF the house TO 1876, and that
Of the senate to As as a maximum mem
bership, the newer sections OF the state
to get their share OF representation
based upon population must make IN
roads upon the older counties.
The next apportionment under the
constitution VIII be at the session OF
1911. following the census of 1910. From
hat time on there will be several saw
age fights before an adjustment is
made to change the conditions to give
the newer sections what they are en-
titled to.
