UNABLE TO LOCATE
SANITARlUM SITE

Parker, S. D., June 26.--It is an
nounced by the state board of charities
and corrections after trip over Gus
ter county that they cannot find n To-
cation for the new state sanitarium for
tuberculosis patients placed there by
the recent Legislature, for the unusual
reason that there isn't any available
land.
They found that practically all of the
couG is in the forest reserve lands
reserved by the government and that
they can not find in the occasional
tracts homesteaded any that could even
be considered for the home. Accord
ingly they are proceeding to select a
site on government land and will ask
congress to appropriate $40 acres for
the purposes of the home.
1t Is planned to locate the home near
Sylvan lake, the most beautiful spot in
the Black Hills, a district prolific OF fine
scenery. The altitude will be $500 feet,
just the same as the new camp estab-
iIshed for consumptives In Colorado by
the Woodmen lodge. 1t will be neces,
sary for the home to have a consider
able amount of tillable land. on which
to produce feed for stock Patients in
such sanitariums must be given a great
deal Of milk and eggs and, because 1t
Will be located In the heart of a district
of government land, feed for milch
cows would command a prohibitive
price. The legislature allowed $4,000
for the first expenditure 10 the con-
struction OF the buildin' for the camp.
The board, however, expects to appoint
the superintendent In the near future,
that he may begin a campaign of edu-
cation such as was carried on by the
of the Iowa home, be-
fore II was opened at Iowa City.

FROM the new 1OTk Telegram.
Henry ]. Turner, whose home, Noun
tain Lake farm. is situated at the north
end of Center lake, one of the most
beautiful natural ponds in Berkshire,
Mass. produces the following record
of his catches during a period cover
ing q little less than 40 years, and
those who know him best and have
watched his intimacy with the finny
tribe are ready to vouch for the truth
Of the record.
Total number of pickerel caught in
40 years, the record parts of two
years missing. 54,973 total weight Of
the Ash, 26,272 pounds, or a little more
than 13 tons. The largest catch for
one day was in the winter OF 1868,
or 40 years ago, numbered 81 fish and
weighed 86 pounds. Another good catch
was made in 1887, when he caught in
one day 1872 fish, which weighed 72
pounds.
The largest catch in numbers for one
year was in 1890, when he took 3,714
fish, and the largest amount caught
in one year was in 1882, when he took
2,440 pickerel, which weighed 1900
pounds, over three fourths OF a ton.
He has never caught one which
weighed more than five pounds, but
has taken many that tipped the scales
at three and four pounds.
The larger part of these fish have
been taken in Center lake, a natural
lake Of one mile in length and averag-
ing one-fifth Of a mile in width, al
though good catches have been made

To the Old Clock on the Stairs.

Somewhat back from the village street
Stands the old fashioned country seat.
Across its antique portico
Tall poplar trees their shadows throw,
And from its station in the hall
An ancient timepiece says to all
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!"
Half way up the stairs It stands
And points and beckons with its hands
From Its case of massive oak,
Like monk, who. under his cloak,
Crosses himself, and sighs, alas!
With sorrowful voice to all who pass
'FOrever-neVer!
Never-forever!"
BY day its voice is low and light;
But in the silent dead of night,
Distinct as a passing footsteps fall,
1t echoes along the vacant hall,
Along the ceiling, along the floor,
And seems to say, at each chamber door,
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!"
Through days OF sorrow and of mirth,
Through days OF death and days OF birth,
Through every swift vicissitude
OF changeful time, unchanged II has stood,
And as IT, like God. II all things saw,
1t calmly repeats those words Of awe
"Forever-never!
NeVer-forever!"
IN that mansion used to be
Free hearted hospitality;
His great fires up the chimney roared;
The stranger feasted at his board;
But, like the skeleton at the feast,
That warning timepiece never ceased
"Eorever-neverl
Never-forever"
There groups Of merry children played,
There youths and maidens dreaming
oh, precious hours! oh, golden prime,
And affiuence of love and time!
Even as a miser counts his gold,
Those hours the ancient timepiece told
'Forever-never!
Never-forever"
From that chamber, clothed in white,
The bride came forth on her wedding
There in that silent room below,
The dead lay In his shroud of snow;
And In the hush that followed the prayer
Was heard the old clock on the stair
Forever-never!
Never-forever"
All are scattered now and fed.
Some are married. some are dead;
And when l ask, with throbs of PAIN,
"Ah! when shall they all meet again?'
AS In the days long since gone by
The ancient timepiece makes reply
.Forever-never!
Never-forevern'
Never here, forever there,
Where all parting, pain and care,
And death, and time shall disappear
Forever there, but never here!
The horologe of Eternity
Sayeth this incessantfy-
Forever-never!
Never-forever!"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

of 1t in a gasoline launch. Nick Old
ham, residing near Wheeler, some dis

effort he had II hauled to shore pend

boat loose had bored several holes In
the side OF the craft with an auger in
the effort to sink the craft to the bot
tom of the river, but the holes were
just a trifle above the water line and
this fact saved the ferry from being
a total loss. The unknown is supposed
