after he left the White House. Lin
coin, it is known, was poor when he
died; Buchanan was fairly well off;
and Van Buren was so rich that he
didn't take the trouble to draw his
salary the whole time he was In office,
but waited until he vacated, and then
drew out the whole amount Of $780,
600. Polk had q fortune; so had Fill
more and Pierce. Andrew Jackson
was pretty well off, but died poor, as
the result Of his having assumed the
liabilities of his son. He it was who
designated the place OF the present
treasury buileing in Washington, and
he did it leaning on his walking stick
and thrusting the end into the ground
to mark the corners. John Quincy
Adams had much wealth, owning
valuable property in Boston and In
Washington. His will is on record in
the District of Columbia. William
Henry Harrison left a small estate.
Like his grandson-only more so-he
lived simple life, and during the
time that he was president was seen
to go to market himself to buy his
provisions. Monroe left little when
he died. His will, too, is probated in
Washington; it contains only 160
words, and leaves $4,000 to each Of
his daughters and his books to his
son-in-law. He was i'm debt when he
left the White House. Madison left
his wife, Dolly Madison, goodly
sum when he died, but a relative
with more love of good time than
good finances dissipated it. Dolly,
however, got $4,000, paid by congress
for the papers Of Madison. Jefferson
tried TO make fortune as a farmer
for II years after he left the presi-
dency, but there was not much profit
in the business, and the ex-president's
well-known hospitality brought so
many visitors to Monticello that he
was almost literally eaten out of
house and home. In his old age he
was very poor, and received some aid
by the sale of his library to congress.
Washington was fairly well off for his
day when he died.
Mr.. Taft, who has just gone into
Office, is poor man, with no income
save his salary. Had he not had the
aid of his half-brother, aCharles p.
Taft, he would not have been able to
make the canvass for the Republican
nomination. Whether or not he will
save much of his salary remains TO be
seen.

PURE SEED SPECIAL.
With Prof. Holden, of Iowa, and Othe,
Speakers, Will Be in Philip
March 23rd.

Accompanying the pure seed spec
ial which the officials of this division
have made arrangements to run next
week from Pierre to Rapid City, will
be Prof. p. G. Holden, OF the Iows
agricultural college, the best known
corn expert in the United States
The train will arrive here from the
east some time after noon on Tues
day, March 23rd, and afternoon and
evening meetings will be held at the
Grand opera house. Prof. Holden,
together with Supt. A. E. Chamber
lain, president of the state corn grow.
ers' association, and Professors vii.
son and Willis, OF the Brookings
agricultural college, will talk on the
various subjects which are really
their specialties.
The farmers of western Stanley
county should make it an object to
be In Philip for both sessions, for it
is seldom that people Of this vicinity
have a chance to hear first hand from
such authorities on scientific farming
as are these men.
Prof. Holden is admitted to be the
best qualified man in the nation on
raising corn, and he will have many
valuable suggestions for the farmers.
Supt. Chamberlain, as head Of the
institute board Of the state, has prov
en- valuable to our farming interests,
and is a man Of large calibre in his
work. Prof. Willis, who has charge
of the experimental farms which are
located in the different parts of the
state, and tied TO the agricult tural
college as a part Of the work of that
institution, is an interesting speaker,
and will have much of value to COM
municate TO his auditors. Prof. Will
son, son of the secrerary of agricul-
ture, is one of the faculty at the
agricultural college of this state, and
everyone interested i'm the develop
ment of our ''empire' should be here
to hear him.
You are urged, dear reader, to take
due notice of this meeting, and let
things slide, If necessary, that you
can attend and hear these speakers,

Not Many Have Gone into or Come
Out of Office with Very Large
| Fortune. Taft Not
Well OF.

From a commercial standpoint, be-
| ing president Of the United States is
not always directly royal road to
wealth. Many man with an income
Of $50, 900 year is able to save good
portion of it. Not so with many Of
the presidents, for they must perforce
keep up appearances and practically
all they get goes out for state occa-
sions. Mr.. Roosevelt has left the
White House in comparatively easy
circumstances, having had money
before he entered IL. He will now,
Of course, add TO what he has by
means Of magazine articles and books
1t is supposed that his fortune
amounts to some 100000 or 5000, 900
When Cleveland became president
he was comparatively poor man,
but he managed to invest in some
| District OF Columbia real estate and
when boom came as the result he
was able TO clear a pretty neat sum.
Mckinley left an estate of about $500,
600. and under the careful management
Of Geo. B. Cortelyou ii grew until
Mrs. Mckinley came into no incon-
siderable fortune. Harrison is known
to have saved some money from his
salary as president, which, added ito
the S25, 900 he had when elected, gave
him a modest little fortune to retire
upon. He lived simply as president,
and saved 100000 during his four
years at the White House.
The sport" in the presidential line
was Chester A. Arthur, worth $780,
600 when he died, and probably worth
that much when he became president.
He was the most lavish Of all the
presidents in his expenditures and
would cheerfully spend from $1,000 to
s., 900 on a single banquet. Hence
he probably didn't save mach of his
salary. Garfield, however, died poor,
and Mrs. Garfield was provided for by
the nation, sum OF 100000 being
raised for her and a pension of $4,000
I
year being granted by the govern
ment. Hayes was even accused of
stinginess while he was president,
presumably because he served no
wine; but he was as liberal as the
other presidents, and entertained as
often. In fact, one "spread" at a re-
ception cost him $4,000. No such ex-
penditure now, however, is necessary,
as food and drink, not even sand
wich and a cup of coffee, are not served
at White House receptions.
President Grant received but S25,-
900 year during his first term, and
he probably didn't save much of that,
bHt when, at the beginning of the
second, the presidents salary was
raised to $4,000, presumably he was
able to put aside some money for a
rainy day, though no one seems to
know just how much he was worth
when he left public office. Andrew
Johnson left small fortune at his
death, all his money being invested
in farm, mill, and country store
i'm or near Knoxville and Greenviile,
Tenn. He was senator In the u
S. senate when he died, having beer
elected to that Office several years

Sears, Roebuck & Co., the Chi
cago mail order house, announce
that owing to the passage of tho
federal pure food and drug law
they will discontinue the grocery
retail business. 1t wasn't the pass
age of the law by congress, but
the enforcement by the agents of
Uncle Sam that drove them out of
business. The fact that they can
not sell groceries and drugs sue
cessfully if the pure food and drug
law is enforced, certainly demon
strates that in the past their pa
irons got much adulterated food.
1t is also evidence of the general
poor quality of goods sold by the
mail order houses.

.Iacnh NJ. Dickinson of Tenn

Jacob M. Dickinson of Tennos-
see, appointed by President Taft
as secretary of war, is a Democrat.
This is unusual but commendable
procedure on the part of the new
president in appointing q man of
a different political faith as one
of his advisors. The minority
should be heard in the council
chamber as well as in the legisla-
tive hall; it will enable the presi-
dent to get a broader view of
things; and it will cause the Dem
ocrats to share in both the popular
and unpopular doings of the gov
ernment. This is broad move
on the part of the new president,
and should be productive of good.
There is, it may be said in passing,
a precedent for the appointment,
as Secretary of War Stanton, un-
der Lincoln, was an avowed Dem
ocrat.

ROBBERS AT MONTGOMERY;
BLOOD HOUNDS ON IRA


Montgomery county is growing to
be quite a gathering place for
thieves. Monday night burglars Wis
tied the city of Montgomery and en-
tered several stores but taking little.
Enos, Long, of Perry, passed through
this city at noon Tuesday with his
two blood hounds in answer to a call
sent by Sheriff Earnst, of Montgom
cry City. He was accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff w. A. Grubb, of Lad
donia.
A telephone message received al
this office from Sheriff Earnst stated
the hardware store of Frank Sabornt
was entered and about $50 worth ot
revolvers, cartridges, knives and ra
zors taken. In entering this estab
lishment the men must have GU
themselves as they left a trail O
blood in the store and on the stree
when they entered a harness shop ;
few doors distant.
A few dollars was ali they tool
in the harness shop. They thel
broke into Miss Emma Turner's mi
linery store, but found no money an,
left the stock unmolested. 1t i

New York, April 1s.-That a

In a. volume just issued by the Rus

"The standard of living among work

Full and intelligently handled returns
were secured from 391 families out OF

itary and comfortable dwelling, but
will not suffice to give much chance
for recreation and the higher life,' "
says Professor Chaplin.
The average amount spent for
clothing is found to be 500. Nearly
half Of the total expenditures of the
391 families is for food. The $500
families spend on an average OF
$290.10 year, and the families Of
the$1 900 group average s451.46. An
analysis of the budgets by Professor
Underhill of Yale would indicate that
sufficient nourishment cannot be OBJ
tanned for less than % cents day
for each adult man.
The families with incomes between
s4O0 and $500 spend 27 per cent Of
their incomes for rent.
The average expenditures for health
ranges from $13.7S for the families
with incomes between 5000 ant
$500, to $3.50 for families
with incomes of between 5000 and
$1.100. The lower incomes do moi
