At a luncheon which she gave just
before he sailed from France in the
Ranger on that famous cruise of his
which carried the war to the Tery
shore of Britain it was the good for

At the close of the feast she present

less accepted it with a grace that
charmed the courtly company. promis-
ing that in return. If fortune favored

1t was a daring boast. but in A. O.
Buell's biography Of Paul Jones it is
related how he kept it. Within two
years occurred the marvellous victory
of the B%onhomme Richard over the
Scraps, concerning which the victor
wrote the duchess a letter, ending,
''The enemy surrendered at thirty-fve
minutes past 10 p. m. by your watch,

That was a phrase to delight a So

Inc the duchess was amply satisfied.
When Paul Jones reached Paris she
gave a grand banquet in his honor.
Just before it ended he reminded her
Of her gift and his promise. A servant
was sent to his room and returned
with a long leather case. which the
duchess took amid the exclamations
and eager curiosity of the company.
Your royal highness perceives the
impossibility of keeping my promise

The Study of the Consultations as a
Probably every reader has often ad.
mired the beauty of Il starlight night
A little careful observation on such a
night will show that the brighter stars
may be divided into groups r "constel-
%lations," as the astronomers call them.
most Of which are known by the
names OF animals or legendary per.
sons, such for example as 1.-The Great
Bear" 1.-The Swan" Hercules AN
d%romeda.' etc. The easiest method of
learning these consultations" is from
some one already . acquainted With
them. but if the beginner is not fortu-
nate enough to know any such person
the majority can be learned from any
cheap star maps such as are sometimes
contained in almanacs.
Now, If the budding astronomer will
notice the position Of any OF these
groups or consultations at a particu-
lar hour Of any night and then look a
few hours afterward he will see that
during the interval the stars which ap.
peared low down in the east have risen
to the south in a somewhat similar
manner to the apparent motion of the
sun and moon. while closer attention
OF several evenings will show a circu.
lar or rotary movement around the
north pole of the heavens. the motion
being the opposite way to the hands of
q clock.
Near the north pole is Il bright star
called the Pole star" This star is
easily found when the observer has
once noted the seven bright stars of
the Great Bear" the two outer stars
of the four forming the square
known as the pointers" point almost
directly to the Pole star. This males
tic movement of the stars around the
pole of the heavens is a most sublime
and wonderful sig~ht.-Country Side.

II POT

HE U SlMMEkINC.
1t looks now as though Gov
Robert s. Vessey''s first term il
office is to close with a fight OF
hand for denomination. Fol
some time many have hoped
that the people would bt
rid of political warfare fol-
afew months and that things
political would move along as
smoothly and with as little fric.
ton as does the prosperity Of
the state. But it seems the of
year is destined to close as 9
hornets nest interrupted. 1t is
a foregone conclusion that Gov.
Wesley is in line for re-nomina-
ton, but there have come to
the front two other aspirants
for Office. George w. Egan
of Sioux Falls has announced
himself as a candidate, subject
to the juno primaries, and
friends of r. G. Richards of
Huron are grooming his can
didacy, urging him insistently
to allow his name to be used
for the Office. So far as the
UNION is informed at this time,
all three are good men, amply
qualified and capable Of render
ing good service to the state.
But the people must decide be-
tween them in June, and this
paper is willing that the merits
Of the men be discussed candid
y and intelligently, for the sim
pie reason that South Dakota
has everything to gain and
nothing to lose by the republic
can party nominating the
best man for the position Of
chief executive, and nomination
is akin to election.
Nj. Egan's candidacy is no
surprise to the people Of this
section Of the state. Such has
been the impression of those
who have followed his writings
and speeches. But the pecu-
liarly interesting fact is that he
is . resident Of Minnehaha
county, in the extreme eastern
part Of the state, while the an
nouncement is made in PEN
nington county, the extreme
western part of the state. This
may be taken as a bid for favor
west Of the Missouri river, even
thought the candidate be a resi-
dent Of the state several hum
dred miles east. And it also
may be taken as an indication
that politically the western sec
tionand Hills country is dos
tined to cut a considerable fig
ure in the battles Of the future.
IA any event, however viewed,
Pennington county appreciates
The recognition. The kind Of
unofficial Mr.. Egan would make

lation 81 this time, 50 the peo-
PIE, not the politicians, must do

comes.

will only baswhen a test Of his
popularity is made before the
people.
Therefore, Governor Wesley
is the only known quantity now
before the people, and it being
his first term political prece-
dents would indicate his prefer
ence, as it takes more than a
a year for a man to be of really
valuable service to the state.
Some politicians are inclined to
criticize him for retaining GER
tain stalwarts in office, but as
the criticism is more political
than anything else, the weight
of this objection is problemat-
ical. The UNION at this time
does not care to draw a distlnc-
ton between the men and be-
lieves it especially in bad taste
for the fact that but one of the
three men has authoritatively
stated his candidacy. The let
ter announcing Mr.. Egan's can
didacy is Of interest as an OK
hibit in a budding campaign,
and as such will be consider
ed by the people. For that
reason it is published in full in
this issue Of the UNION.

JUDGED purely by a dispatch
published in the Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader, u2der a Dead
wood date line, r. O. Richards
of Huron has an ambitious
friend in the Hills who is liable
to stir up trouble. The state
ment is given publicity that Mr..
Richards is being urged to be-
come a candidate for governor.
1t is doubtless made for the
purpose of sounding public SEN
timent, and may have even been
suggested by party interested.
As both the present governor
and the prospective aspirant
come from the same city, it
looks as though the politicians
of Huron should be content to
let Gov. Wesley test his popu-
lority for denomination. Then,
should he fail, allow the honor
to fall to the lot Of another.
There is no reason why they
should "bull" the market on
gubernatorial material.
