Stencil decoration is the vogue of
the moment now. eclipsing all other
method OF decoration, at least for the
time being. And no wonder, for the
effects that can be produced are pret-

practice. OF course, in this, as in any.
thing else. the greater the cleverness
and the ingenuity Of the worker the
better the result, but anyone-and !
say that adyisedly-can get results
that are worth while.
I'd advise the beginner to expert
ment once or twice on some material
that can be thrown away before try
ing to work on new material. One
has to get the knack of repeating
the pattern correctly and of other
things that come easily after a few
preliminary trials. take for granted

SPARKS SHOW BIG SUCCESS
A Better, Cleaner and Brighter Ex-
hibitiOn Was Never Seen I'm
der a Circus Tent.

Dawson has seen most all of the
shows-big, middle-sized and little
''in all their overwhelming prepon-
derence," but John H. Sparks Circus
gave two performances Wednesday
that had never been surpassed by any
of them.
The show is not as large as some
Of the others, and there is not a daz-
z1ing, perpleXing, annoying number
of events going on at the same time,
but there is enough doing all of the
time to occupy the attention of the
spectators and keep them pleased,
startled and often bewildered The
whole show, to the concluding song
of the concert artist" was good. and
the crowds enjoyed it both afternoon
and night
The Sparks Shows have but re-
Gently emerged from winter quar-
ters at ValdOsta, and consequently
everything pertaining thereto is spick
and span new. The animal cages
glitter in gold paint, while the touch
of the brush is likewise in evidence
on everyside.
Gorgeous costumes gave an added
charm to the many startling and
clever feats performed.
Amy of these were enough to sat
isfy the most exacting critic. The
living statuary, the aerial feats, the
horseback riding, the daring stunts
of wire and trapeze artists made up
a programme of two hours that kept
the audience pleased.
The menagerie contains some rare
animals, and the stunts of the train
ed lions exhibited in the ring is alone
well worth the price of admission.
No other one ring circus persents as
many fine features as does the re-
liable Sparks Shows.
Dawson was especially well-pleased
with the class of people connected
with the show. There were no
gamblers or thugs, the entire or
ganiZatiOn being composed of men
and women who are doing their part
toward elevating their calling and
furnishing good amusement to the
people.
After wintering in Georgia the
show is making it's way north for
the summer season.

Life Insurance Companies Must
Change Policies to Conform With
Law.
F. A. Draper, the actuary who Is
examining the policy forms Of the diff
ferent life insurance companies which
are doing business in this state, to
find whether or not they conform
with the provisions of the policy form
law passed at the last legislative ses-
sion, reports that so far as he has
gone in the work he finds the most Of
the large companies are complying
with the provisions Of the law gen
orally in the forms which they have
submitted. Some of the smaller COM
panies are in some cases so far from
the requirements that It will be
necessary for them to completely re-
wise their forms before they can do
business under the new law. In some
cases the changes which will be re-
ouired are so slight that they can
easily be modified to meet the de-
mands Of the law, but in others, the
companies will be required to prepare
almost entirely new policy forms be-
fore they can get within the provis-
Ions Of the law.

SAYS HE HIT BROWN.
Nal. Greene Leaves Story of Harpsr's
Ferry Capture.

Maj. Israel Greene, captor of John
Browz, the great Abolitionist, who
subsequently was executed, and who
died last week at his home near
Mitchell, S. D.. told to a newspaper
correspondent in Sioux Falls, proba.
bly, the only story he ever has tod to
a newspaper man, of the famous cap
ture.
After relating the events leading up
to the assault on the engine house at
Harper's Ferry, where Brown was at
bay, by the marines under his
~(Greene's) command, he modestly said
that he was believed to have been
the first man to have gone through
the hole in the door that had been
battered down and toward which
Brown and his companions were d.
recting their fire. Continuing, he
gave the final account of the capture
as follows:
81 found the room so full of smoke
that 1t at first was hard to distinguish
anything. One of the first men I
bumped into proved to be Col. Lewis
Washington, N of Browns hostages
and a descendant of George Washing
ton, first president of the United
States. Col. Washington stepped up
to me and shouted in my ear:
""That's 'Osawatomie' Brown at
the same time indicating one Of the
figures kneeling and facing the hole
in the door, with gun ready. This
name had been given Brown while he
was in Kansas during the border war
fare there.
II had my sword raised in the air
ready to strike, and as Col. Washing
ton gave me the above information I
struck down John Brown, the blow
being of sufficient force to render him
unconscious for a time.
During the fight in the engine
house my men killed two of Browns
men with their bayonets. One private
OF the marines, Michael Quinn, was
mortally wounded while going through
the hole which had been battered in
the door. Another marine was wound
ed. My personal opinion is that John
Brown himself shot Quinn.
we removed Brown and the other
prisoners from the engine house, and
the following day-Oct. 10, 1S59-in
accordance with an order from Col.
Lee, l with an escort of marines took
John Brown to Charlestown, w. Va,
where l turned him over to tho
sheriff."

A VERY RECKLESS BOY.
Performs Remarkable Feat Of Climb
ing to Tear Down Rival Glass Flag.

Performs Remarkable Feat Of Climb
ing to Tear Down Rival Class Flag.
Daniel McCCrd, a ifteen-year-old
freshman in the high school at
Pierre performed a feat, which if it
was a part OF a circus would have
featured as a star attraction, and did
it without any of the safeguards which
would have bee nused by a circus per
former in attempting such a stunt.
The show started when two Of the
junior class climbed to the top Of the
big derrick pole or the top Of the new
state house, and attached their class
banner to n of the guy cables,
which was divided by a connection
about 100 feet from the pole, and al
lowed the banner to slide down to
the connection. They announced that
their banner was where it would stay
and the other classes gathered to in
vestigate.
McCord volunteered to get 1t, and
climbed to the top Of the pole, which
is about $50 feet above the ground.
He swung off onto the wire carrying
the banner, and slid down to the con.
nection where 1t was floating, and
tore it loose. At that point he was
about 100 feet from the ground, with
nothing between him and death If he
failed. After securing the trophy, he
swung to another cable, and slid to
to ground, reaching it at a point more
than 400 feet fro mthe starting point.
the crowd kept still while he was on
the wire, but as soon as he touched
the ground the ymade up for their
silence, and McCord was the hero of
the evening, being carried down town
on the shoulders of the classmen who
watched his dangerous performance.
