A Praylno Man.
By Henry Ward Beecher

by I1enTy WdTu beecuer.
When men begin their prayers with
"Oh, thou omnipetent, omniscient,
omhtpresent, ~all-seeing, everything
blessed Potentate, Lord God jehovah"
I should think they would take breath.
Think of q mar in his family. hurried
for his breakfast, praying in such a
strain! He has a note coming due, and
1t Is going to be paid today, and he
feels bpoyant: INC he goes down on
his knees like a cricket on the hearth
and piles up these majestically moving
phrases about God. Then he goes on
to say that he is a sinner: he is proud
to say that he is a sinner. Then he
asks for his daily bread. He has it.;
and he can always ask for It when he
has it. Then he Jumps up and goes
over to the city. He comes back at
night and goes through a similar wordy
form Of evening prayers" and he is
called "a praying man." A praying
man? l might IS well call myself an
ornitholegist because I eat a chicken
once in a while for dinner.

New York ceokina.

From the New York World.
South may make Its slender bra6
OF 'possupn, but just wait
Till Taft comes on to visit us,
Then watch us celebrate:
Wen take him down to Chinatown
He'll eat chop suey thsfe,
With bird's-nest soup and other things
That deck the bills OF fare.
And then to Little Italy
This great man we. shall take
For real sphagetti, and OF course.
The long, thin bread they bake.
Hungarian goulash he shall taste,
Some Syrian cooking, TOO;
Wen feed him chill beans and meat,
Mixed IN a red hot stew.
He'll get soma English mutton chops.
A Hasenpfeffer treat;
A fine large slice of kangaroo.
As much as he can eat,
And should there be some foreign dish
That to his heart is dear,
Why, he but has to mention It
And he can get it here.

"Ottomans" has been adopted to cover
all the people Of the empfre-Moham-

strictly belongs only to the descendants

Chas. Morgan of Cleveland, Ohio, was a
we'll attended and very enjoyable social

prettily decorated-pink and white, pre-.

The much respected host and eyer

there. The sumptuous and delectable

Another Proof Rejected.

The United States Land Office at Belle
Fourche has received a decision from
the commissioner of the general land Of
fee in regard to the homestead entry of
Mrs. Susannah J. Bird, reversing the
decision of the register and receiver at
Rapid City, who sustained the entry.
The new decision holds that the claim
! ant has not complied with the home
stead laws, and the entry is held for can
collation..
| This case is similar to that ofthe Sioux
City photographer who moved his fam
| lily onto his homestead, but did not
make that his exclusive home, and is
further evidence that those expecting to
get piece of Uncle Sans land by the
| homestead route will have to live upon
the land in person. and not have any
other home during the time they are
proving up. In summing up the evil
dence in the Bird case, the general COM
missioner says:
'It appears from the evidence that the
claimant at the time of making the en-
try was woman past seventy years OF
| age and unable to live alone; that she
never remained upon the homestead un-
less one or both of her daughters were
! with her; that the daughters maintain
ed home in Belle Fourche and were
engaged in ocCupa tions in that vicinity,
such as teaching school and working in
the postotfice and were only able to be
with their mother upon the entry dur
ing intervals between work, spending
about three months in the summer and
staying upon the land usually from Fri
day until Monday during the balance of
the year, when the weather would per-
nit, and when the daughters returned
to work the mother returned with them
to their home; that the land embraced
in the claimants entry was enclosed
with other land covered by desert land
entry made by her daughter, and part
of a desert entry made by her, which
she had relinQuished that this land had
been fenced as early as 1913 and rented
to numerous stockmen for grazing pur-
poses; that the house upon the claim
was moved from a homestead proved
up on by her daughter and that the work
of moving the house, fencing and plow-
ing the land, was done by her son-in-
law, A. Giles, although it was claimed
that the improvements were paid for by
the entrywoman.
'In view of the foregoing am of the
opinion that the entrywoman did not
make the entry with the view of ofmaking
it genuine and permanent home and
,, did not comply with the law in good
faith as to the establishing and maintain
ing a residence upon the land to the ex-
clusion of home elsewhere. Your de-
cision is therefore reversed and the en-
try held for cancellation. Belle Four

Big Proposition.

Robert Bunce, the representative OF

properties in the Black Hills for year

extended stay and expects to negotiate
some important deals within the next
few weeks.
1t is announced that Mr.. Bunce will
launch one of the biggest mining deals
ever undertaken in this section of the
country. The details of the affair have
not yet been made public, but it is un.

South Dakota's w ealth.

The total assessed valuation Of all
property In the state for this year Is as
shown by the forthcoming report of the
state auditor will be 1920, ,087 1868, an in
crease of little over thirty-six million
dollars over the assessment of last year.
Of the increase about two and a half
million dollars have been placed against
corporate property, and the balance
against real estate and personal proper
ty. The corporate property valuation
this year is over thrty-two million dol
lars and that of farm lands alone is $685. :
199,077.
While the state shows up well in the
way of farm property, the assessors
could find but ffty-two thousand dollars
worth Of watches, diamonds and jewelry,
or about dollar in that line for each
resident of the state, and while the
banks shows individual deposits of near
ly sixty million dollars, the assessable
amount of money is less than million
dollars.
The matter of household goods does
not make any great showing with only a
little over a million dollars in the whole
state, while the pianos come up to very
near the million dollar mark, while with
the organs added, the musical instru-
ments in the state just about equal the
household furniture in valuation. The
banks are assessed at $3,369,6l7, while
there is but about four thousand dollars
of the capital stock of insurance held in
the state if the figures of the assessor are
to be considered as correct.
The horses of the state are valued at
about fifteen million dollars, while the
cattle come in at a little less at about
twelve million dollars with sheep at a
little less than a million and swine at just
q little over that figure.

Trade throughout the country is NOV
ing in favorable proportions. The gen.
eral outlook for the future is cheerful
and in, some respects is reported bril-
liant. Iron and steel are showing in
creased outputs and more labor is being
employed. The enlarged pay rolls are
greatly improving local trade. 1t is
practically definitely determined that
the corn crop of the United States will
be equal to that of one year ago. The
cotton crop has been reduced in volume
and will command higher prices. Meat
products are advancing in price and the
indications are that they will still fur
ther advance, owing to the small amount
of feeding in the country. Most food
products are tending upward in price.
Wheat is showing continued advance in
the market. Wheat and -four exports
are somewhat larger than they were a
year ago, and corn exports are on the
increase. Almost double the amount of
corn was taken for export during the
months of June, July and August than
WAS taken for export in the correspond
ing three months one year ago.

Last week the United States assay Of
flee made another large shipment ofgold
bullion to the mint at Philadelphia. 1t
was one of the largest shipments that
has been made this year and shows that
the production of gold in the Black Hills
is steadily increasing. Of course there
is no means Of knowing just how much
gold was shipped, but sufficient is known
to place it at a high figure. With the
completion of three or four mills now in
course of construction and the starting
up of several plants that have been clos
ed down for some time, undergoing re-
pairs, the shipments for the months Of
October and November should reach a
pretty high figure. Many of the smaller
plants are just beginning to get on a pay
ing basis and the output from them is
beginning to count in the grand total of
each months production. Pioneer

The Buffalo Gap Far.

was a large crowd in attendance at the
Fair held in Buffalo Gap last week. The
fruit and vegetable display "astonished
the natives" as to variety, abundance
and quality. There was also a credita-
BILE mineral exhibit.
A special train from Hot Springs with
Commercial Club and prominent citi-
zens helped swell the crowd Friday.
The incement weather marred the
pleasure of visitors to some extent, but
did not daunt the enthusiasm of exhib'
ors and stockholders.
The Fair was success as far as ex.
hibits and number in attendance are
concerned; but whether success finan
cially, after all premiums and expenses
are paid, we have not learned.
