JUDGE TRAVELS FAR TO
REACH COURT POINTS

Belle Fourche, S. D., May n.-Circuit
Court Judge w. G. Rice is holding the
May term Of court here and Immediate
iy upon it's adjournment will start out
on his northern circuit trip. This cir
cult is one of the most remarkable In
the state, owing to the length Of travel
necessary because the railroads are few
and far between in that section. Leav-
ing here Judge Rice goes by train
around through Aberdeen and thence
west again to the nearest railroad
point to Bison, the county seat of Per-
kins county. The distance is go miles
by railroad, but directly from Belle
Fourche 1t is about $50 miles. In maxi
ing this long railroad journey Judge
Rice passes through the home towns Of
four other circuit court Judges Of this
state and through the district OF a
fifth. The southern portion Of Judge
Rice's circuit is Lawrence and Meade
counties, the entire circuit being 200
miles in length, north and south, and
100 miles in width, east and west, by
far larger than any other circuit in the
state.

ABERDEEN ALDERMEN MIX.

Aberdeen, 8. D., May 6.-The unusual
spectacle was witnessed at the coun-
ell meeting at which DR.. H. ]. Rock
was indicted into Office as the demo-
cratic mayor Of Aberdeen, Of four out
Of Ave republican aldermen voting to
confirm an appointment made by the
mayor, while the three democratic al
dermen voted solidly against the ap-
pointment. Most Of the appointments
went through without hitch. The new
mayor reappointed the city auditor and
fire chief, water commissioner and
building inspector, and his appoint
ments Of w. T. Elliott, chief Of police.
and c. N. Harris, city attorney, were
promptly confirmed, but when he
named former Chief Of Police c. E. Zir-
bes as city detective, Alderman Fetch
er, democrat, raised the point Of order
that there was nc such Office. Alderman
Hezel, republican, then moved that the
office be created and the three
democrats and one republican alder
man voted no, while the other four re-
publican aldermen voted yes. Mayor
Rock then voted in the affirmative,
carrying the motion. Upon the ques-
ton Of confirming Zirbes' appointment
to the position so unceremoniously Gre
ated, the vote was the same, and the
mayor voted in the Affirmative and de-
clared his appointee confirmed.

close up business before turning the
affairs of the city over to the new

HOW SHE KEPT HER SONS AT HOME.

She wasn't a bit stylish, nor was she
particularly pretty, though her pink
cheeks, blue eyes and CHEEKY express
sion made her pleasant to look upon.
She fell to talking one day of her fam
lily and she gave a little glimpse of a
simple. sensible home life that was de-
iishtful and incidentally showed that
she had solved the problem of how to
keep the boys at home.

THE BEAUTY THAT is NEAR.

Many complain that their life Is ali,
gray days. that there Is little beauty or
pleasure In it. that 1t is Just one hard
grind from morning until night year IN
ana out. The complaint goes up every
where. from housewives treading their
monotonous round from cook stove to
dlshpan: from workers who go from home
to store or factory and back again: even
from the butterfly whose endless social
engagements become a WEAKNESS alike to
flesh and spirit.
But isn't this complaint a matter OF
viewpoint rather than of actual fact?
Two office girls were walking home one
night after q bad snowstorm which left
the city streets as only city streets can
be after a snowstorm. One grumbled and
growled the whole way about the mud
and slush. The other was looking up to
q patch OF blue sky and a glorious sunset
In the west. 1t Is a question of choice.
One can lock at mud or one can look at
stars. II one can remedy the mud by see
Ing It. then see It. But If no good can
be done. then why not face the other
way?
There is beauty all about us to bright
en- our lives. and it does brighten life. IL
we let It work its will with our spirit.
Alice Freeman Palmer, that wonderful
woman who was college president at 2s,
tells of a little child of the slums OF
isoston to whom she had given that IA
nous recipe for happiness: 'See some
thing beautiful every day" The child
feryently followed the advice and each
day walked the streets until she found
something to her childish eyes beautiful,
and then returned to her miserable home
happy because OF 1t. But one day she
had TO mind the baby and so could not
go out. She was mourning over missing
her CLEAN of happiness, when suddenl
q ray OF sunshine struck the baby's hair.
And there was my beauty she said
ecstaticaliy, when telling Mrs. Palmer.

THE PAINTED LADY AND HER EXCUSE.

the prize she does for so doing. On
a steamer southwark bound was one
of these painted ladies'" Her COM
plexion clearly came out of a bottle
each morning. Her hair was from
the hairdressers'. She was gowned in
the exereme style. She ever went
so far as to stick a %carnation in her
hair for breakfast. She was pleasant,
kindly, jolly. One would have thought
with her attractive she would
not have needed these false externals
to make friends. But she knew better.
she liked to have a good time, not in
any harmful way. but she enjoyed the
attentions of men. She liked to have
them fetch and carry her rugs and
cushions, to talk to her at meal time
and to walk the deck with her. And
so she wove her little web to catch
them. And the very incest men on
board We'd with each other in paying
her attention. She was surrounded !
with them always. They actually
scrambled for an opportunity to walk
with her or to have a little tete-a-tete.

it is natural for a woman to like
men to be attentive to her n to have
a good time. II she realizes-and she
Is compelled to realize it-that style
and fashionable dress will bring pleas
ure to her, 1t is only natural for her to
go In for them.
1t is a self evident fact that the girl
who is stylishly dressed n whose
couture is the latest mode has her
dance card full and her engagement
calendar scrubbed all over with dates.
while little plain Jane in a simple
gown and hair innocent of artif1ce Is
a wallflower and knows neither auto
rides nor theater parties.
The painted lady should not be
blamed too heavily for her resort to
a%rtifice. Chignons, puffs, extreme pom
padours, all the silly and foolish things

entirely the result of woman's frivol-
