what sharp little fellow is Mister
Fly:
He goes where he pleases. low or high.
And can walk just as well with his feet
to the sky
AS I can on the floor;
At the window he comes
With a buzz and a roar,
And Ger the smooth glass
Can easily pass
Or through the keyhole of the door.
He eats the sugar, and goes away.
Nor ever once asks what there is to
And sometimes he crosses the teapot's
steam.
And comes and plunges his head in the
cream;
Then on the edge of the jug he stands,
And cleans his wings with his feet and
hands.
This done. through the window he hur-
ries away,
And gives buzz as if to say.
AT present haven't minute TO stay.
But I'll peep in again in the course of

Then again he'll fly
Where the sunbeams lie
And neither stop to shake hands
Nor bid goodby.

Who goes where he pleases. low or

And can walk on the ceiling

Whereas, it is utterly impossible
during the winter season TO herd
horses or cattle on the public range,
Therefore, be it resolved, that
we respectfully request the legisla
ture of the state not to make any
change in the fence laws existing
in the Black Hills counties, and we
especially urge upon all senators
and representatives in the legisla-
ture, in the counties west of the
Missouri river, to use all honorable
effort to prevent the repeal OF the
present existing laws in relation to
the use of our public ranges"
Judge Plowman, of Deadwood, in
his speech to the meeting voiced the
sentiment of the stoclmen who are
fighting the repeal Of the law. His
main contentious were that the new
settlers who are fighting the herds
on the ground that they destroy the
crops are dependent upon a herd
themselves for support. The his
tory of the rancher starting in today
will be the same as that of the ran
Cner Starting III twenty live SSai
ago. The farm was a place where
the feed was raised in the summer
to keep the stock in the winter.
The stock ran in the open in the
summer and was self-supporting and
ate the feed on the open which
would go to waste at any rate. The
farmers today, he said, are depend
ent upon a herd to forage on the
open domain today as much as ever
and if they tried to settle down or
some ridge and attempt to make
living they would all land in the
poor house in a very short time.
On the other hand the other side
of the question is argued that the
public domain which supported
these herds is fast becoming smaller
and smaller and it is only matter
of time until they have entirely dis
appeared The best part OF them
the waterholes and surrounding
country-is gone already. They ar
que that the herd law would protect
the small farmer and eliminate the
necessity of constructing fence

lected the dirty money, which we
still have. The full knowledge of
the facts aroused the conscience of
the people of this state, and there is
now pending in the legislature a
measure to refund North Carolina
every penny of the money. The re-
funding bill ought to pass, and thus
the world should be informed that
South Dakota is not going to be
TRAPPED into the business of assisting
private spectators to bankrupt a
sister state by enforcing the payment
of obligations which the taxpayers of
North Carolina are not morally
bound to pay. So long as we have
this money, it is a stain upon the fair
name of the state, and in the future
will be frequent and just taunt to
us.
Now, the state has another tender;
we served the purpose of the bond
holders once and naturally they
reason we will do so again. The
letter of Mr.. Carpenter to the COVER
nor is the letter of tempter 1t
makes use of every sophistry which
a skillful lobbyist can use. But the
plain fact is that South Dakota is
asked to be a collection agency for
bondholders who are trying to rob a
sister state and speculate OH her mis-
fortunes.
The answer should be like the
battleof Santiago-"short, sharp, de-
cisive." 1t should be great, big,

ter and his bunch should be told to

their chestnuts out Of the fire for
them. Mr.. Carpenters intimation
that the state is busted" is an in
suit to the most prosperous state in
the union. 1t is true that the debt
Of the state has increased by $780,
600 in the last two years, but we do
not have to beg, borrow or steal to
pay it. Perhaps Mr.. Carpenter and
his friends do not happen to know
that South Dakota is now getting an
income of nearly half million dol
lars from its school fund alone. Per-
haps he does not know that we have
for the past six years produced the
biggest per capita of new wealth of
any state in the union! Perhaps he
does not know that on the first day
of the year the banks of the state
contained nearly sixty-nine millions
of deposits! A real gift rendered by
a former citizen of the state under
honorable conditions and with prop
er motive, would be accepted with
pleasure; but South Dakota has no
| thought of taking such money as
this, and we ought to restore what

Cooking by Electricity.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Modern meth
DDS OF cooking by electric juice
and push buttons will be features
of the National Electrical Show in
stalled in the Coliseum today and
which will continue in progress dur
ing the balance of January.
The show will demonstrate that
breakfast these days, in the modern
home, is merely matter OF pushing
the button. The latest of the
breakfast utensils is the electric
toaster. This device is inexpensive
and most efficient. The bread to-be
toasted is placed in vertical posi-
ton on either side of the heating
element. By this method the bread
is not burned as it is in horizontal
coasters.
In the electrical show exhibits
electric cooking will be demonstrate
ed to show that it is not only feas-
ible but practical and economical as
we'll The electric oven will turn
out brown biscuit, baked to perfec-
ton; the coffee percolator shows
what modern methods can do for
an ancient beverage.
A glimpse OF the demonstrator
preparing a meal on the electric
stovewill. it is said, convince the
most skeptical that electric cooking
is the most up-to-date way. There
is no dirty coal to handle, no flying
ashes, no SCOT and gases or other
kitchen evils of that kind. A turn
of a switch and the heat is there.

Tempting to Dishoner.

E. E. Carpenter, formerly resi-
dent of this state, but now a lobby
list for the holders of the bonds of
North Carolina and other southern
states has written a letter to Cover
nor Vessey from New York, under
date of January Z, making every ar
gument which skilled lobbyist and
tempter can make to induce the gov
ernor and the state of South Dakota
to accept as gift another block of
North Carolina bonds. Mr.. Carpen-
ter has kindly sent copy of his let
ter to the governor to the Argus
Leader.
The situation is this: Under the
reconstruction days several southern
states were under carpet bag gov

met did not represent the people
They were composed of corrupt and
reckless men who fed fat on Their

to these states, the taxpaying people
who had no part in contracting the
debts, refused to pay them. The
bonds were bought at low price by
specializing bond firms, with the pur.
pose Of enforcing collection, when II
was learned that a private individual
could not sue state. Hence it was
necessary to get these bonds into the
possession of states which would sue
