 Then there was @ commotion of another kind an interruption that came none to soon. He felt the horns of the bull twitch suddenly from his hands, and, looking up, saw his father, Dwight Brinton, plying pitchfork to the angry critter that had given the young man such severe tussle. \..
 Again and again the fork was applied until, cowed at last the bull hurried to mother part of the pasture and Lloyd Brinton was saved; rescued by his father, from what was probably on of the most perilous positions in his life of 25 years. ... :..E
 He was helped home and doctor was called to examine him. He had escaped goring, but had met with many bruises, and it is feared some internal injuries but none, it is hoped that are likely to prove serious, but he will never forget his encounter with that angry bull which had so often been driven with 8 yoke-mate and done the work of an OK.

The Best Month
 HI IHH VHHI

There are three months in the twelve month wherein lovesick couples desire particularly to be wed i; they are May, June and October. ~.......
 October is the best month. It com mands the open grate it has the apple, the chestnut it tempts one to the chilly invitation of frost. And the man is no man who cannot respond to the call of the cold. Let every man remember his early days-how he lay in the garrett, or attic-and endured the bangs of chill. Did it do him any harm Did anything come to him but endurance
 Tn October occurs big things. We find chestnuts beginning to burst ; we have the apples at their best the pump kin is really yellow and ready for the pie. Ihe other nuts are getting ripe and yearning for us. So in this month of months we have at once the vintage of the year and the great pleasure of its cool climate It is the month of mar. riage, the month of late watermelons and the delicate cabbage.
 October shows the way to winter. Ii is the advance of ice. of snow, of skating of all the wintery weather. It ie noble month, and we welcome it, for it brings us frost and furry things.

GrAenMich Hill.

Probably no hill in the world has had so strangely varied a history or played so important a part in the af- fairs of men as that at Greenwich. The granite line across the footpath on its summit is the meridian from which the longitude on every British map and chart is calculated. All England sets its time by the mean solar clock. There is d large galvano-magnetic clock fixed on the outside wall of the observatory and divided into twenty four hours. There are still many who believe this clock is kept going by the sun. They do not know that the fixed stars are the real timekeepers from which Britishers check their daily progress.-London Graphic.

REPORT ON HOME
COMMANDMENT GEDDIS OF THE
SOLDIERS HOME REPORTS
TO THE GOVERNOR
MONEY BACK TOTHES STATE
Surplus Of Appropriation Amounting
to Several Thousand Dollars
Not Needed Has Been
Returned

Huron-Col. J. B. Geddis, Com
mandant Of the State Soldiers Home
was in the city a day or two
since. He has completed his report
to Gov. Wesley and in it are found
some very interesting facts con-
corning the State Soldiers Home at
Hot Springs. Col. Gsddis assumed
charge of the Home Feb. /, 1909, his
report therefore covering part of the
term Of the former commandant. The
legislature Of 1907 appropriated for
salaries Of officers and employees at
the Home, $50, 900. 90 and for main
tenance $50, 900. 90, which became
available on the LIST of July, 1908.
When Col. Geddis assumed charge Of
the Home, the appropriation had been.
expended and there was q deficiency
Of $15,437.3S, which was made good
with an appropriation by the legis-
lature of 1909, and at the close of the
year, all outstanding bills had been
paid, amounting to $14, 1922 n, leaving
a balance reverting to the state treas
ury Of $794.11, which would not have
been, except for the holding back of
a number Of bills, until toe late to
include in the deficiency contract,
these were therefore paid from the
new appropriation. The appropriation
for the year June 80, 1909, for officers
and employees, was SIT, 500, and the
amount expended was $17, Lass So, leav-
ing a balance to the state treasury of
$3.50. There was an appropriation
for maintenance for the same year of
$55, 0000. 90, of which $50, 229.9 9 was ex-
pended, leaving a balance of $4,770.0 /
For improvements there was an ap-
preparation of 5000. 90, of which
81, 060.8S was used, leaving a balance
of $939.12. The total amount turned
into the state treasury for the year
ending June 80, 1910, was $6,546. SO.
This is the first time in the history
Of the institution that a surplus of the
appropriations made, has reverted 40
the state treasury and indicates to
some degree, the careful management
by Col. Geddis, of the institution.
There was an appropriation of s., 000.-
90 for repairs p o sewers, all of
which was expended except $339.5 81
which reverted to the state treasury.
Of the 261 members of the Home on
June 30, 1909, 1873 were present and Is
absent. Ninety-one were adm ttei
during the year, making the total
number cared for 352. There was lost
during the year SO, total enrolment,
June 80, 1910, was 256, being a decrease
of five during the year; the average
number present during the two years
vas 403. The total number maintain
ed but for which no appropriation was
made, was "a. These were women
wives Of members and employees.
The report shows that the members
are in exceptionally good health, well
cared for and fed and as contented as
could be expected. The buildings and
grounds are in the best possible con
dition, and the place was never more
"home-like."

STATES COMMISSIONER
Pure Foods and Drugs Commissioner
Makes Annual Report

Pure Foods and Drugs Commissioner
Makes Annual Report
Vermillion-Dr. Cook, state food and
drug commissioner, has just made his
annual report to Governor vessey for
the year ending June 80, 1910.
1t comprises 1853 typewriter pages.
The following are some of the lead
ing features of the report:
l. The commissioner has recon-
mended the enactment of three new
laws. ta) Publicity Law, requiring all
Official papers in the state to publish
the bulletins Of analyses sent out by
the commission. CO. He has recon-
mended the enactment Of a Clean Food
or Sanitary Inspection Law. This
would be a very important law, re-
curing grocers to protect foods on
sale from dust and flies. 1t is we'll
known that through the avenue Of
both dust and flies several diseases
are communicated, the most promi-
nent of which are tuberculosis and
typhoid fever. 1t is only recently that
we have begun to realize that more
deaths occur in this country every
year on account of the formerly sup
posed innocent fly than are caused
by all the wild beasts of the jungles
of India and Africa combined. 1t Is
high time, therefore, that something
was being done in South Dakota, as
has been done in several other states.
(c) A Net Weight Law, requiring the
net weight to be placed on all pack
ages Of foods for the purpose of pre-
venting deception and fraud.
2. The commissioner recommends
a substantial increase in the appro-
priation in order to be able to enforce
all of the laws now upon the statute
books. There are two or three i'm
portant laws with which the commits
sion has been able to do nothing OF
account of the lack Of funds.
8. A complete list of the bulletins
issued during the year are included In
the report.
4. The report of the analyses OF
and drugs on sale in the state.
Over nine-hundred samples have been
analysed in the laboratory, including
canned goods, olives, pickles, catsup,
salmon, oysters, ~jellies, jams pre-
serves, syrups, beverages, dried fruits,
food colors, peanut butter, -four saus-
age, mince meat, mushrooms, chewing
gum, extracts, vinegar, water, spices,
linseed oil, paint, stockfoods, etc. 1t
is found that n per cent of the foods
on sale have passed our law and that
% per cent are illegal. In case of
drugs, however, the condition Is not
so favorable as out Of 276 drugs anal
yzed only 1O7 were found to be pass
able. This is the first systematic
work on the analysis of drugs under
taken in South Dakota, and 1T is ex-
pected that in another year conditions
will be very much improved. Several
parties were prosecuted during the
year for selling adulterated foods and
drugs.

not far from the Vanderbilt mansion
and just west of the Harry Payne
Whitney residence, the famous old OH
yer Hartman mansion is to be made
over into a store for a dressmaker. The
fact that this new neighbor il said to
have been a Virginia beauty before she
entered the trade, however, may app
peal to the social taste Of the Whit
neys and Vanderbilts.
Just below, the famous old Andrew
Zabriskie house has gone into the
hands of Schumann's sons, who are
making it ove into fine business quar-
tiers, with apartments above. And
right there, also. is the Coils p. Hunt

State Officials Will Determine Value
of Land offered by Government


Pierre-J. E. Truran, deputy COM
missioner of school and public lands,
has gone to Deadwood to direct
the appraisal of timber on 6 $4,000
acres of land in the government
forest reserve Of the Black Hills. I'm
til a short time ago, the title to this
land claimed by the state Of South
Dakota was disputed by the national
government on the ground that at the
time the state signified its intention
to reserve the land the survey was
not complete. An agreement was
reached between Commissioner Dok-
ken of the land department Of the
state, and the department Of the in
terror whereby the state was to be CIV
en- title to the lands which 1t claimed
with. the provision that an exchange
should be made of these lands, which
are scattered here and there through
out the millions of acres composing
the government reserve for a tract or
equal acreage and value.
BY this agreement both national
and state lands are distinct and separ-
ate, and thus more convenient for adj
m~inistration. During the past few
months the field agents of the state
office have been at work placing a
value on the standing timber on the
original land belonging to the state,
and the present occupation of Deputy
Truran and a force of clerks is that
of a~scertaining the wealth of the
lands offered by the national govern
ment in exchange.
