Oriojn of Seals.

The origin Of seals Is lost In the
shades Of antiquity. In Assyrian and
Babylonian ruins seals still are found,
and 1t is certain that their use passed
from those countries to Grcece and
Rome, to oil European countries and
from England to America. Originally
they were set in rings. The earliest
references to them In Biblical history
Is found in Genesis xxxviii. where 1t
is recorded that. pending certain nego-
tiations between Judah and Tamar.

Tho Lure Of Money.

james r. Keene. who won and lost
fortunes and who played with milliona
Of dollars as child would play with
Il heap Of sand. was once asked why,
having wealth to safety. he did not
give up the game Of money grabbing
and seek peace. comfort and content
ment.
The answer vouchsafed by keene
may be regarded Us that which would
be offered by many another man II the
same question were put to him.
'Why do want more money! said
Keene. why does a dog want an.
other rabbit? Your dog will chase the
millionth rabbit us though 1t were the
first he had ever seen. He will strive
and strain in the pursuit Of It to the
point of henrtbreak. One might sup
pose his SOULS life depended on the
capture. And yet, should he overtake
It, he will cast it aside when killed
and begin quartering the ground tc
sturt another. To the last gasp Of hif
breath that dog will chase his rabbit
When you tell me why that dog wants
another rabbit I'll tell you why
want more money."-Harry Eurniss II

The Climate Is Good.

The meteorological summary for
September, as compiled by G. l..
Mitchell, observer, shows there were
l6 clear, 9 cloudy and partly cloudy
days. The first frost was on the oath
and was very light. The average pre-
cipitation for past 81 years is 1.O4,
while this month reached 1865 inches
or go in excess. The prevailing d.
rection of the wind was from the west
with total movement of ATS miles,
the highest being reached for few
hours from the southwest on the 9th,
when it reached 30 miles an hour.
The highest temperature was 80 de-
grees on the Goth and the lowest 3e
degrees on the 23d. The highest for
the month for % years was 102 and
the lowest % degrees. With such a
record it is easy to realize the climate
of this section is all that could be de.
sired.

How Animals Learn.

DR.. Il. Zell, q German naturalist, has
collected many instances to prove that
animals learn by experience and thus
become wiser than their uninstructed
parents. Game animals Of all kinds,
he AYERS, have learned the range Of
modern rifles. Greyhounds quickly
learn to let rabbits alone. and fox
hounds pay no attention to either rab.
bits or hares. Killer whales and gulls
follow whaling vessels. just as vul'
lures follow an army. Crows begin to
accompany the chamois hunter Of
soon rs they have seen the result Of
his first successful shot, and rough
legged buzzards follow the sportsman
after winged game. The number Of
birds that kill or injure themselves
by flying against telegraph wires L
much smaller than It used to be. DR.
Zell also refers to the fact tina
birds and quadrupeds have learned t.
disregard passing railway trains. a!
horses quickly cease to be frightened
BY automobiles. His instances Of th'
Intelligent election exercised by sheel
dogs are familiar to all.

KITTREDGE OPPOSES HARMONY.
Mitchell was the scene of considera-
BILE political harmony last week and
aside from the general open meeting
called in the interests of united and
harmonious republican party by the
committee of ten, Senator Kit
tredge held a secret conference with
the remnants of the old guard which
had gone to defeat in three campaigns.
Such of his followers as Irving Jones
of Sioux Falls, Dick Halliday, Con-
gresham Burke, John Langstatf and
Major Lane of the Grow Greek Indian
agency were present. 1t is asserted,
on what seems good authority, that
these sub-chiefs or medicine men were
opposed to again putting up a general
fight along the old lines and that they
should be content with support of
their present congressman, but that
the big chief spread the war paint
thick and dashed his braves into a
spirit of hostility. 1t was argued
by the more conservative of the stall
warts that efforts at republican har-
mony should be made in recognition
of the widepread sentiment among
the rank and file of all factions, but
/ sir. kiJtredge brandished the toma-
hawk and scalping knive and declared
that there should be no peace, that
war should prevail all along the line
and that a full reactionary ticket
should be placed. before the next pri-
mary.
MR.. RICHARDS WITH sTALwARTs.
Conspicuous among the stalwarts
and taking advice and comfort from
them through Irving Jones and Char
lie Cooper as go-betweens was r. O..
Richards, the man of many leagues"
and many 'isms." While preparing
a long and varigated list Of resolu-
tions, enough to fill a suitcase, to
present to the harmony meeting with
the hope that they might be voted
down in order to give him excuse for
making big noise, he was counting
on the finer points of political tactics
with the stalwart people, and it is
whispered that he has hopes that Mr..
Kittredge's machine will endorse him
for governor. While some of the Kit
tredgeites appear to favor this, as a
rule they regard him as too impracti-
cal to train in their crowd and will
content themselves with jollying him
up in his fight on Governor Wesley.
The Herried candidacy for governor
did not seem to meet with the favor
of the Longstaff-Hall group. The
suggestion was strong that it should
be forgotten. The fact is, Longstaf
himself has ambitions.
The absence of Congressman Mar
tin was conspicuous and frequently
commented upon. 1t is quietly hint
ed that he is tired of taking orders
from Mr.. Kittredge.
There is a report in circulation that
Mr.. Kittredge may cast about for an
other candidate in the Hills and that
Mr.. Martin may cast his lot with the
harmony crowd If given half chance.

tained the members of the "Silent'
and "Un-Silent' clubs at ''Doll

the 'noisy ones" were to do their
utmost to make her-the silent one
talk. So we'll had the members
Of the club been trained to say

ed to temptation. Consequently
they had to draw for the prize Of

one. Mrs. Russell Spicer was
awarded the prize for the prettiest
bottle-baby.
On Monday evening the freedom
of the houes was given to the

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Vik en-
tertained a group Of 16 relatives
and friends at a luncheon.

The Success Cabinet.

The Success Cabinet company of
Chicago has opened up an office in
the rooms formerly occupied by the
county attorney over the First Ma
tional Bank, and have placed on ex-
bibit number of samples of the
article which they manufacture.
The cabinet is an ingenious contri-
vance for holding all groceries
needed for daily use. 1t has II
compartments, all of ample size
and conveniently arranged, and it is
made to hang on the wall over or
near the cook table. 1t is made
of metal, thoroly enameled both
inside and out, and is guaranteed
dust, mice and insect proof. Altho
it has been on the market only
comparatively short time, it has
gained an enviable popularity, and
thousands of it have been sold.
The cabinet must be seen to be ap-
preciated, and for that reason the
company opened the office here,
placing it in charge of Frank G.
Heron, one of their general agents.
He will at any time demonstrate
the operations Of the cabinet to
visitors. A sample cabinet has also
been placed in one Of the display
windows at the Campbell Furniture
company's store. MIR. Heron has
engaged as local and county agents
