The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1909-03-18

lost in the evening air, but "Kint
words die"
Judge Dick Haney, of the supreme
bench of South Dakota, for many
years a close personal and political
friend of Tom Burns. was the second
speaker of the evening. and he felt
it a great privilege to pay his tribute
to the man. The judge said that
the belief was prevalent that every
fellow here or hereafter gets what is
comforting, if there arc not so many
delays, where rewards or punish
ment is meted out. H. was glad that
the bouquets We're to be thrown at
Tom Burns before he crossed the
river-the Missouri river over in
Gregory county, and he believed
that now is the time TO throw them.
The judge said that he felt made
quate to give expression to his per-
sonal feelings for Tom Burns. He
had known him for 20 years-had
been close personal friends and that
during all that time he had been his
political manager, and inasmuch as
he had been living off the public all
that time it was reasonable to sup
that he had been a successful
manager. The judge said that in
travelling about the state he had
heard things about the city of Mitch
ell and her people that we did not
hear of. He had heard the outsiders
speak of the corn palace, of the
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1909-03-18

churches, of the city schools, of the
University, and of the unity OF the
business men in supporting any legi-
innate enterprise, and what pelased
him most was to hear what is said
about the business men. 1t takes
men and women to build and make
a town aside from the business build
ings. No city in the state has a high
er reputation for e%nterprising bust
ness men and none stands in any
higher respect than Tom Burns. The
judge spoke of the qualities of friend
ship and said there is nothing like
the friendship of a true friend. and
Tom Burns is one who stands by a
man, plays the game to the limit
honestly and ~fearlessly, and when he
loses comes up smiling, and winning,
it is the same good natured smile.
II love the man, said the judge"
and no man was ever truer to me
and no man was ever truer to a com
munity."
States Attorney Herbert's address
was of the character to arouse the
risibilities of the men gathered
around the banquet table in his re-
ferences to the guest of honor. He
said that some old philosopher had
said that we should consult the past
and act wisely, and that we should
consult the present and act fitting
ly, and in this connection he thought
we should look into the past of Tom
Burns to see what we are and to use
1t as a guide for the future. The
sturdy pioneer who blazes the trail
to the west and establishes a town
we admire for the great qualities of
manhood, and Mitchell was built in
this way with Tom Burns as one of
the main helpers. We say a man is
a good man when he lives by the
golden rule, and possesses the char
acteristics of charity and b%rotherly
love and in these respects the guest
OF honor meaures up to the standard.
Mr.. Herbert said Tom had given to
charity and he had induced others
to give to charity, while they thought
perhaps it was a case of larceny, but
the net results were the same and
was just as good. Mr.. Herbert said
that Tom was a perfect man, but he
has some faults and We need not
look for much reform among the
Indians with whom he is to dwell
down in Gregory county, and that he
thought when the next election roll
ed around he would have several
tribes walking up to the polls on
election day and that they would be
voting right. Mr.. Herbert spoke of
the liberal qualities of Mr.. Burns.
how he had given of his own, help
ed the needy, cheered the downheart-
ed and gave comfort to those who
needed it. 1T is our WISH" said Mr..
Herbert, The will prosper in all his
life's undertakings; that health and
prosperity shall be his in abundance
and return to Mitchell to abide
among us and we will hail his com
ing"

quite unfortunate in losing our citi-

Why Building Stones Decay.

The causes of decay in building
stones are various and depend on the
physical structure of the stone, its
composition and the nature ~ :
surrounding atmosphere. The moa4
destructive agent to which the. stone
is exposed is rain or a moist atmo.-
phere. and also in a minor derrae
wind, frost and smoke.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-04

There was no fly and the three large
buttons came through the cloth Of the
coat The flaps Of the pockets we're also
trimmed with braid. The collar was so
broad in front that its pointed edges
reached half way to the shoulders of the
coat. Accompanying this coat was a So
called paddock coat with skirts that fell
almost to the wearer's shoes. These skirts
we're as oluminou as they were long and
attached to the body Of the coat at a point
below the hips of the wearer. This gave
the man who happened TO be so unfortu-
nate as to enclose his person in such a
garment the look Of having on a pair Of
straight front corsets. No buttons were
visible, and this coat seemed to be held
together by an inside hook at the waist
from which the collar extended to the
neck. A fitting pendant to these crazy
clothes, as the expert describes them, was
a sack suit so long hat the points Of the
coat reached in front almost to the knees
of the wearer. Only two buttons closed
this coat, which also had a vertical pocket.
The invariable rule with such coats seems
to be 10 make them so loose that they fall
in folds from the shoulders.

The inevitable dip front that was to be

The result Of this exhibition, in spite
Of its occasional eccentricity," said the ex-
pert, lis TO prove tina Americans have bet

that better standards OF style have come
