need not dwell upon the unpleas-
ant details. The most disagreeable
portion fell to me, although Johnson
took hold like a man after the first
few moments of reluctance. The 9TH
ers devoted themselves diligently to
scraping off the ice, gathering up and
casting overheard the accumulation of
litter about the main cabin and the
various staterooms, and assisting us
only as we passed the heavy, rigid
bodies through the stern-ports. We
performed this unpleasant task of
burial hastily, but with all gentleness;
there was little to do except to wrap
the stiffened figures as best we might,
weight them, though they were them
the gray sea. Not heartlessly, but with
unspoken prayers upon our lips, we
watched them sink silently into the
depths they had resisted so long.
Never shall l forget the face of the
child, the last to be buried, nor the
sickening feeling with which l sank
back upon a bench, staring about the
vacated cabin when the awful task
was finally accomplished; yet the re-
alization that it was owe with, the
cabin cleared and habitable, made new
men of all of us. The bedding was
brought forth and aired before the
open ports, the furniture restored to
position, and a fire started in the huge
box-stove. This quickly warmed the
icy interior and yielded a new aspect
of c~heerfulness. De Nova and Kelly
explored the stewards pantry, discov-
ering a quantity of frozen biscuit,
several hams rigid as rock, together
with numerous TASKS of some liquid
turned into solid ice. We found can
dies, also, hard as nails though they
burned fairly well after a period of
suffering, and we fitted six of them
into the great lantern. By noon we
had completed the work, and had
brought Lady Darlington and Celeste
aft for dinner.

Flight for a Sane Fourth.

An organization fight to prevent the

CHAPTER XIV.
In Which We Learn the Story Of the
Donna Isabel.

Donna Isabel.
The short Antarctic day left us lit
tie opportunity for the work on deck.
However, l kept the men employed as
long as possible, first setting them at
hauling up the longboat and slowing
it safely away under shelter, and then
at untangling some of the rattle forward.
They went at this last task rather
un%willingly, for it was carried on in
full view of that i~ce-casketed figure
guarding the forecastle, yet they got
out two fairly serviceable spars and a
considerable amount of cordage SO
protected by the ice coating as to
be still of value. When we finally
knocked off and started aft in a body,
a dark, cloudy night was about us, the
snow falling SO thickly al to make it
impossible to see across the deck.
Dade was busily preparing supper in
the wrecked galley, the red glare OF
his fire shining forth through the
drifting flakes, while glimpses of light
stole out in welcome from the forward
cabin windows.

HORTON SEES GOOD CROPS.

While earlier in the season much
apprehension was manifest as TO the
crop outlook in South Dakota, as the
season advances conditions continue
TO improve, until at this writing, TAX
ing the state a a whole, 1t appears
that a fair average crop will be har-
vested. In the eastern section of the
state the outlook is better than it is
farther west and the farmers have no
reason to feel discouraged. During
the past two weeks the writer has
travelled through the eastern section
of the state as far south as Sioux
Falls and as far north as Milbank-
making the trip north via Watertown
and the one south owe the South
Dakota Central. While through this
entire section the yield is what might
be called spotted" the good fields
are in a large majority. Through the
entire section, blue stem wheat is
very good, and of course in the sec
ton farther north, where the grain
is the main crop, the outlook is better
than where very little Of it is raised.

far better here than they are 20 miles
north. Barley and macaroni wheat
are better in this section than either
to the south or north. Corn is look
ing fine everywhere throughout the
entire section visited, and where
good seed was used and there has
been proper cultivation, the prospects
for a fine yield have never been better

sections have not shared alike, the

live in this eastern section, have every
reason TO be thankful that their lot
has fallen in such a favored locality.

THE WIDE AWAKE TOWN.

The trade territory of a town is not
dependent upon the distance to neigh
boring trading points. The trade ter
ritory depends upon the enterprise
of the merchants and the residents of
the town. If a town does not reach
after trade it will only come as fast
as it has to, and it will grow as it
is forced to. But if the merchants
go after the business in the surround
ing country, advertising in every pos
sible way, and making good every
word of their advertising, trade will
come from an ever-increasing radius,
the town will gain a reputation for be
ing wide-awake and it will forge TO
the front. 1t is the men in the town,
and moi altogether the men living in
a certain number of miles from it
that makes the town.

NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.

The ancient order of stamp collec-
will learn something to tn ir
own advantage by perusing the new
postal savings bank bill. Here
l. is decreed that all mail originating
with the postal savings institutions
shall bear a distinctive stamp, and
and Postmaster General Hitchcock is
already busy with the work Of G 'tting
them designed and printed. This Will
add one more variety to the postage
stamps Of the United States, to take
its place among those brilliantly col
ored sets" which used to appertain
to each of the executive departments.
But the pleasure of the philatelist is
not the only motive for this innova-
ton. The idea is to keep track in this
way of the expense which the postal
savings experiment puts upon the mail
establishment. These figures will UNI
doubtedly be useful as the postal
banks develop, and congress shows
good sense in allowing them to be
obtained in so automatic and direct
a manner.-Chicago Evening Post.
