NEEDED THE Hay
There Is No Danger Of Stock Starving
In Iowa While We Have
Friends In Dakota

A story is going the rounds in South
Dakota about like this "It is reported
here that South Dakota friend of an
Iowa farmer shipped him bale of hay
in refrigerator car. The Iowa farmer
was delighted but when he took it out
to give it to his COWS, the COWS ran
away and three of them plunged into a
wire fence with such disastrous results
that they had to be killed. The eX-
PLANTATION is that the cows had not seen
anything green for so long time that
they took fright at sample of hay
from South Dakota. In this connec-
ton So. Dakota is moved to extend its
heartfelt sympathy to the drought
stricken state of Iowa and any time the
people of that state wish to refresh their
eyes by a broad expanse of green fields,
they should come up into South Oak
ota, which, by the way is located in
the rain belt.'
Comment-Yes, Dakota is in the
rain belt. Where cattle by thousands
die on the plain, and water so scarce
they never have rain. Where people
are vleaying by thousands and more,
intent on returning to Iowa, to be
sure; and promise to be caught in Da-
kota no more, where to tell the truth, a
premium they give, and lies suit them
better in order to live. So, don't take
them seriously, their hay nor their
chaff, for many have been launched
(lynched) at the end Of "a gaft-In Da
kota.

MASTERS or CHESS.
Some of the Greatest BlindfoIdsd
Players Of the Past.

y
Playing ut chess without seeing the
board is much older accomplishment
than is generally known even among
chess players. Buzecca. an Italian, as
early as 1866 played three games at
once, looking at one board. but not at
the other two His three competitors
were skilled in the game. but he won
two games and made draw of the
third. Ruy Lopez. whose name has
been given to an opening; Mangiolini,
Terone Medrano. Leonardo da Cults,
Paoli Boi, Saliva and others who lived
between the thirteenth and seven
teenth centuries were able to play the
game without seeing The board. Father
Sacchieri of Payia early in the eight
eenth century played three games at
once against three players without see
ing any of the boards.
1t remained for Phillidor. the great
est genius at chess known up to his
time. to play blindfolded in England in
1883 against three of the best players
then living. winning two games and
drawing the third, surprising his an
tagonists and the throng Of onlookers
by keeping up a lively conversation all
the while. Phillidor's achievement as
to the number Of simultaneous games
has been far oHtdone by Paul Morphy,
Paulsen. Blackburne and several of
their successors. But Phillidor. lively
Frenchman that he was. still holds the
palm as conversationalist and player
at the same time.
Phillidor was the assumed name of
Francois Andre Danican. born at
Dreux in 1926 He was educated as
court musician for Louis XIV. He COM
posed music to Dryden's .Alexander's
Feast" and to many operas. all long
since forgotten. Dunican's fame does
not live in music. but as Phillidor, the
chess player AS el,ess player he Wis
tied Holland. Germany and England
In 1749, while in England. he published
his Analysis OF Chess" a work which
has taken its place among the classics
of the game. He died in England Aug

NAPOLEON AND SUICIDE.
His Draft of Poison and His Conn

His Draft Of Poison and His Conn
nents on Self Destruction.
1t is said that when all seemed lost
to Napoleon IN 1914 the year before
Waterloo-he thought of sdicide as an
end to his career He actually took
draft of poison. but the essential
element in the connection had lost its
efficacy. He. however, conquered his
inclination to self destruction, which
he ever afterward held in adherence,
even during his hopeless exile at St
Helena. When during his first con-
sulship one of bis grenadiers killed
himself Napoleon issued an order to
the guards:
THE Grenadier Gobain has killed
himself owing to a love affair. He
was otherwise an excellent soldier.
The first consul commands that the
guards should be informed that a sol
der ought to conquer the grief and
bitterness of his passions; that there
is the same courage i'll enduring with
patience the pangs of the soul as in
facing bravely the fire of a battery. To
give oneself up to grief without resist
ance or, to kill oneself to escape is to
abandon the field of battle before being
beaten"
In conversation with Goethe. Ma
poleon blamed the poet Tor allowing
Werther to commit suicide, and in 1916
he said to O'Meara:
Suicide is the act of a gambler who
has lost everything or of ruined
profigate. have always thought that
man shows more courage in support
ing the evils that afiict him than in
getting rid of his life"
