STAR OF THE SOUTH.
BY Harold Carter.

Frank Byrnes strolled into the lit
tie room at the back OF the clothing
store in Kimberley, South Africa,
where Sol Nathanson ostensibly car
ried on a meager trade with natives
returning home from their service in
the diamond mines. The proprietor,
fat, middle-aged man Of unctuous
appearance, rose UP and greeted him
effusively.
"Sit down, Mr.. Nathanson, said
| Byrnes. I'm here to make straighI
proposition to YOU"
I'm always ready TO do business
nv friend" Williamson replied, rub
bling his hands.
Now, Mr.. Nathanson, II amounts to
this. The famous rose diamond, The
Star OF the South is to leave Kim
berley tonight by an armed guard, OF
whom four men will ride constantly
armed until the stone Is handed over
to the authorities at the railway ter
minal for transportation to Amster'
dam, for cutting"
We'll. well, but that's common talk,
my friend" said Nathanson.
"You are aware" Byrnes went on,
that this stone has been sold to the
rajah OF Caliput, to be placed In the
crown jewels, and that 1t is my busi-
ness, as chief detective for the d:a-
mond company, to see that nothing
miscarries. Now, Nathanson, I've
never been able to prove anything
against you yet. but we both know
that you're at the head of the stolen
diamond syndicate"
We'll, well, WELL" said Nathanson,
mockingly.
THE rajah OF Ferozepore has re-
solved at all costs to get possession
OF the Star OF the South, through some
superstition connected with the fate
Of his empire, which is believed TO

81, 1OO,O a year. How much did
Ohio spend on account of the liquor
for added crime, for poverty and in
sanity, to say nothing of sickness and
death? Seven million two hundred
thousand dollars; or, in other words,
the traffic cost Ohio So, 10000 more
than it paid in revenue. Is that
making money?
In Washington, our national capt.
tai, the revenue from license last
year was S413,6OO and the added
amount Of crime and insanity and
poverty, to say nothing Of sickness
and death, was S1.275, 511-over
three times more than the license
revenue. Is that making money?
In Missouri IS per cent of all crime
comes from the liquor traffic; in
Washington City IS per cent of
crime, SO per cent of insanity, and 20
per cent of pauperism; in Massa-

Morgan Messenger: Bent by the
infirmities of old age, Mrs. I. G.
Holland passed away at the home Of
Mrs. Paulina Bonn. Since the death
of her husband, which occurred on
Dec. IL, 1906, the deceased lived
alone in her home. but being totally
blind and old age fast creeping up
on her, she was unable to care for
herself, and was removed to the
home of Mrs. Bohn, to be cared for
during her remaining days. Perhaps
none can realize the vecissitudes and
sorrows that she met in her way,
living as she did in her desolate home
without relatives or friends to add
words of cheer and comfort to her
declining years. But it seemed to
be her wish that she be left alone, as
attempts had often been made to re-
move her to more comfortable quar-.
tiers, to which she would not consent
She was united in marriage to T. G
Holland in 1867 and from this unior
two children were born. boys, who
died in infancy. The deceased be

Storm Windows a Menace.


ED. GAZETTE: | am pleased to
note in your issue of the first inst,
that you question the advisability of
storm windows. | am convinced
myself that the next twenty-five
years, possibly shorter period of
time will see the disappearance of
most of the storm windows now
used on public and private buildings
in this state. Conditions at present
are certainly not only ;nsanitary but
disgusting. | have travelled around
the state good deal and have had
the greatest difficulty in obtaining a
room at a hotel in the winter season
that was not sealed up tight against
the entrance of pure cold air. Some
of these hotels are not aired from
November to April and are constant
ly prevailed by stale odor.
AS to the necessity for use of
storm windows in this climate in the
winter time, on certain windows and
under certain circumstances they
may be required. But undoubtedly
the majority of the kind of storm
windows, at least. that do not open
from the inside are a menace to
health. There ought to be law in
this state forbidding the fitting of
any storm window on a room used
for living or sleeping or public gath
erings land not ventilated by force
draft unless the same is so adjusted
as to be readily opened from the in
side. Although it would probably
be unwise to prohibit the use of
storm windows altogether, yet it
may be noted that none Of the best
hotels use them at all. Where win
dows are properly fitted there is not
much need of storm sash. When
| was in Ely last winter the proprie-
tor of one of the local hospitals who
had large building on a windy
corner, told me that he had found
: no need Of placing storm sashes on
his hospital. | myself have never
but once and shall never again sleeE
, in room where the window has 9
storm sash fastened on tight. Why
not start crusade against the use
of storm sashes in Redwood Falls
and Redwood county? When you
