CAUSES BAD HABITS.
Children Told They're "Just Like Un-
Gle Fred" or "Aunt Susy."

Children Told They're "Just Like Un-
Gle Fred" or "Aunt Susy."
Many parents and relatives are
never quite easy in their minds until
they can fasten every trait of a child's
character upon some ancestor. They
will worry around and make inquiries
among the elderly people of the fam
lily until they locate Harold's squint
and Mary's habit of demanding things
she should not have. The minute they
can say, 81 know just where the squint
from! Don't you remember
how Uncle Fred used to look like
that" they feel better. Having To-
Gated the trouble and laid the blame
on some ancestor, they proceed to tell
every one hat in that Harold
inherits his popularity, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer.
The natural result of such proceed
ing is that Harold eve dreams Of
trying to cure himself. Indeed, he
squints the more since Uncle Fred Is
a popular member Of the family and
a great favorite with his nephew.
Hearing all the faults and failings of
himself and his brothers and sisters
laid upon others. Harold naturally
gets the idea that he cannot help be-
ing what he Is. Many a girl who
kicks and screams and holds her
breath till she gets what she wants
is only doing it because she is living
up to her reputation. Over and over
she has been told that she "acts ex-
actly like Aunt Susy used to-" so she
continues the performance.
Often mothers tell Of their chill
dren's faults and say: That comes
from the other side of the house"
right before the youngsters. OF
course, the fathers resent the implica-
ton, and forthwith proceed to tell Of
the sins of the maternal side. After
all, what difference does it make
where the fault comes from, If. in
deed, it is inherited?
If you object to the ancestors of a
young man, don't marry him. And
once you are married, don't waste
time trying to see who is responsible
for the sins of your children. Set to
work to educate out the faults, and
say as little about them as possible.
Never allow the boys and girls to
think they are not responsible them.

less you are looking for future trou-

by the Minneapolis Traffic associa-
ton after negotiations extending
nearly a year. The negotiations were
conducted by w. V. Newlin, executive
manager for the association, and the
rates were announced a month Ago..
Marvin Hughitt, Jr., freight traffic
manager for the Northwestern line,
was the spokesman for the railroads.
Reductions from Minneapolis to
Rapid City, S. D., range from "a cents
first-class to s IL cents E class. Re
auctions in the rates from Minneapo-
lis to Deadwood, Lead, Belle Fourche,
S. d., range from 81 cents to 8 cents.
The reduction in the differentials ia
yoring Omaha to Rapid City ranges
from "a cents to 8 IL cents The diff
ferentials favoring Omaha to Dead
wood, Lead, Belle Fourche and other
places are reduced from 81 cents on
first-class freight to 9 cents for the
lowest class. The differential on the
rates from Chicago to Rapid City, as
compared with the rates from Min
n%eapolis to Rapid City has been de-
creased to "a cents first-class.
The new adjustment Of rates re-
moves what was practically a prohibit
ton against Minneapolis doing bust
ness in the Hills. Preceding the adj
justment Of rates the railway COM
panies improved the freight service
from Minneapolis which had been in
ferior to the service given from Oh
cago into the same territory.

NEW START MADE ON OLD ROAD.
Chicago Capitalists Revive Project Of
Building From Norfolk to Yankton.

Chicago Capitalists Revive Project OF
Building From Norfolk to Yankton.
The special dispatch from Yankton
that Chicago capitalists, expect to
build the railroad from Norfolk, Neb.,
to Yankton recalls to mind the start
in this direction made many years
ago. At that time it was said the
railroad was a certainty. Some grad
ing was done in Nebraska, when the
deal suddenly fell through. Many eff
forts have since been made to inter-
est capitalists in continuing the work,
but none could be found who cared
to make the investment.
The one heavy loser when the work
stopped befor ewas John Naughton,
who recently died in Sioux City. Mr..
Naughton took the grading contract
for the Norfolk Yankton road, and, be-
lieving that his money would be forth
coming, did not force his employers
to pay him regularly. He had accu-
mulated a small fortune, and was well
able to carry on the work without
drawing or the company.
However, there came a day when
the contractor wished he had not been
so liberal with his own money in ad-
vancing wages. He realized, all too
late, hat he was in for it, and when
he came to sum up his losses they
amounted to over $4,000. 1t was just
like starting ali over again for John
Naughton, for his small fortune was
swept away and he never recovered
his losses.
Students and faculty of the univer-
sity are elated over the news that the
legislature has accepted the donation
of Mr.. Carnegie for a library building
on the campus. The philanthropist
gives $4,000 for the building, and
the legislature has to appropriate S.
900 for maintenance each year.

SORT DIAMONDS WITH A SIEVE,
Primitive Method Of Hunting for the
Gems In Southwest Africa.

ScmS IN southwest Africa.
Probably no diamonds in the world
are obtained 81 cheaply as those from
the recently discovered fields near Lu.
deritz bay, in German Southwest
Africa. The process Of recovering
the stones is s % simple as to be al
most ludicrous.
The Ovambo boys, with blue Cog
giles on, kneel down on the sand
searching for the diamonds. They
are furnished with spades, and with
these they proceed to fill an ordinary
sieve with a fairly fine mesh. A man
will then take the sieve, give il q
shake and plunge It into a galvanized
iron bath of sea water, which has the
effect Of hardening the contents, while
at the same time owing to the specific
gravity Of the diamonds the latter fall
to the bottom.
The man then picks up the sieve
and turns II over onto an ordinary
deal table and the diamonds are then.
of course, on the top. He will then
take an ordinary table knife, pick I'D
the diamonds with this and carefully
place them in a pickle bottle, which
stands by his side.
From the primitive simplicity of this
method Of working it will be seen
that the diamonds do not give much
trouble to find. The cost of getting
them averages, in fact, from Is to Is
Cd per karat.

SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE
REVIEW OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK OF THE
STATE LEGISLATOR FOR THE WEEK. ,

In the senate the house capitol
building bill was passed, carrying
$500, 900, without a dissenting vote.
The senate took up and passed the
Dillon bills, which seek to reform
clerk and employee forces Of the legis-
lature, and If they are accepted by the
house the members of the next ses-
sion will have but few favors to grant
to their friends, and the chief clerical
positions of the two houses will not
be so eagerly sought as they have
been in the past, as changes cut all
cream from holding of that position.
The Curtis bill to prohibit compul-
sorry vaccination came up for action
in the senate, and was opposed by
Senators Bobb, Seward and Bates, and
was defeated.

the exhibits in these departments will

Secretary McIlvaine reports having

taken as an index that the attendance
will be exceptionally large.

POKER PLAYERS HARD HIT.
Any Man In Game May Be Sued for
Losses, According to S. D. Law.

Losses, according 10 .. u. Law.
A suit brought by G. W. Kuhn
Kuhn against Charles Root at Water
town to money lost at poker,
the plaintiff recovering the sum (s25)
which 1t was shown had actually
been paid to Root through check, has
created some stir within the circle of
men who indulge in the great Ameri-
can pastime.
The suit was brought under the law
Of 1907, which provides that a man
who loses money at gambling at cards
may Gov the whole sum lost from
any player who sat in the game,
whether or not the man sued actually
received the plaintiffs money.
Root was the proprietor Of the
place, and Kuhn says he lost about
$500. He would not have complained,
he says, had he been given a square
deal in the winnings. but he asserts
that after he had won, according to
the rules Of the game, Root refused
to allow the loser TO hand over the
jackpot.

MONTANA news
SENTENCED TO WE'D INDIAN.
Fderal Court imposes Punishment on
Convicted Bigamist.


Thomas Handy, a former South
Carolinian, was made the recipient,
in the federal court at Helena, OF
what is regarded as the most remark
able sentence on record.
Handy, convicted on a bigamy
charge, was not only fined 500 and
sent to Jail for six months, but was
also sentenced to marry an Indian
oman.
Hanby's first wife, learning of his
marriage to pretty Mary La Brech. a
Blackfoot maiden, secured his indict-
ment and then a legal separation for
herself. Because of the first mar
riage, the second marriage was de-
clared void.
Judge Hunt not only imposed the
science indicated, but instructed the
United States marshal to see hat 1t
was carried out Immediately, and this
was done, a justice of the peace unit
ing the couple.
Handy made no protest.
