Socially Launched.

In his native town Jimmy had al.
ways been most popular with young
and old, but when he was sent away
to boarding school, he was for a time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than a
wall. t
I'm way behind the other boys in
everything" he wrote, dolefully,
"'Tisn't only studies, but it's gmyna,
SUM and banjos and everything. ]
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me-"
But the second letter, written after
a week in the new school, was quite
different in tone.
I'm all right" he wrote to his
mother. "The boys say they're proud
to have me here. l can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy in school, and my feet are
the longest by a full inch. So you
needn't worry about me any more."-

ELK FOR THE HILLS
PLANNED TO RESTOCk BLACK
HILLS WITH A NUMBER OF
ELK FROM WYOMING.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and DIT.
ferent Parts of the
State.

Pierre.-Representative Martin has
secured the cooperation of the de-
partment of agriculture to the effort
that he has been making to secure the
transfer of two or three carloads Of
young elk from the Jackson's Hole
country in Wyoming, neal the Yellow
stone park, to the forest reserve in
the Black Hills. Many years ago this
section of South Dakota contained a
great many elk, but they were slaugh-
tered and driven out. Recently a few
scattering ones have been coming
back into the Black Hills region, and
the people of the state have become
interested in restoring the game with
the result that the state legislature
has passed laws to permanently pro
tect the elk. Appropriations have
been provided whereby the for
est rangers will see that none are
slaughtered. The secretary of agricul-
ture has approved the suggestion com
ing from the congressman, and the
transfer is to be made this fall, unless
it is found that the season is too far
advanced to permit of the work, in
which latter event, the elk will be
moved later in the year.

Money in Dakota Treasury.

Pierre.-The statement of condition
of the state treasury for April 80
shows that on that date there was a
total of S90S,612 in all funds. Of this
the eneral fund carried S274,27S, which
means hat the state will pay cash for
some time to come, as that amount
will easily carry through until the re-
ceipts from the June call for taxes
come in. The Irvine plant fund shows
a surplus of s22, 300; the game fund
SIS, 1863. but this will be reduced when
the department begins to pay for the
birds and animals which they will Sc
cure for stocking the state. The COM
mon school income fund shows S415,-
Ola, which will go out of the treas
ury in June for the benefit of the
schools of the state, and will material
ly reduce the total cash on hand. This
fund will likely go to ove $4,000 0
before it is distributed.

Jailed At

Deadwood.-Deputy United States
Marshal Bedding returned from Smith
wick, in Fall River county, with two
prisoners who gave the names of Fred
Williams and George Morgan, the al
legged crooks who robbed the post Of
flee at Smithwick recently of $1,000
in stamps and money.
The robbery was committed during
the night, access to the building being
gained by means of skeleton keys, the
safe blown and $500 in cash and 1920
in 2-cent stamps being taken. After
the robbery the thieves locked the
door of the building again and depart
ed. AS soon as it was discovered the
sheriff and a posse started after the
two strangers who had been seen hang
ing around town the day before. At
a point twenty miles west of Smith
wick, in the open, the posse came
across the two men, who, although
they were armed with forty-five Colt
]revolvers, offered no resistance.
Both men are under 80 and have the
appearance and actions of experienced
crooks. Upon reaching Deadwood the
man giving the name of Williams was
identified by a deputy sheriff here as
Elmer Dunning, whom the officer
claims served seven years in the Iowa
penitentiary for a robbery of a bank
in hat state and was released two
years ago. Both men were lodged in
the county Jail here while the postof-
flee inspectors are working up a case,
and neither one will talk.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived. '

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con-
struct a telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession of a piece of
wire Of considerable length and never
having seen wire before he asked
Professor Mcmillan of the Peary north
pole expedition what it was and what
1t was for. He was told thai the
white mar strung 1t on poles stuck
in the ground and a voice talking
to an instrument at n end could be
heard at the other end. After some
search the next morning the Eskimo
was found to be engaged in telephone
construction work Of his own. He
stuck some sticks In the ground and
hung his wire on them. He held one
end Of the wire to his mouth and
talked to 1t at the top of his voice.
Then he ran as fast as he could to
the other end and held the wire to
his a with the exceptation of hear
ing his own words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion Of his white friend.

"kickino the Bucket

When we speak facetiously of some
one of whom we have no reverence
as having kicked the bucket" we
employ a phrase that would seem to
be a piece Of latter-day slang. but as
a matter Of fact, 1t dates back TO old
England, when, about the year 1925
one Bolsover hung himself to a beam
while standing on the bottom of a
bucket and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases of suicide, 1t has been applied
In the course of years to any death

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD Il
jefferson SITS, Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need Of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your
| cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start ell the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
c~orrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned. caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. IL
l had my way / would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms Of Indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel. ne
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

Ice U Be Pure.

Vermillion.-A large amount of ice
winter in South Dakota that is of ques-
tionable character. The food depart
ment, up to the present date, has been
dealing with other problems and has
not been able to consider the vital
question of the character of the ice
offered for sale to the public. The time
has come, however, when the depart
ment will assume an aggressive atti-
tude with regard to the matter of ice
which is impure. The department will
object to the sale of ice as food, or to
be added to food, in South Dakota
which is not pure from a sanitary
standpoint. Ice is unfit for food under
the following conditions:
/. If it has been taken from a pond
or stream which is contaminated by
sewage from cesspools, outhouses,
barns, kitchen wastes, etc.
2. If during the process of freezing
1t has not been protected from tres
passers by a portable fence or other
suitable means. Ice which is located
at a considerable distance from hui
man habitation and out of common
range of trespassers would, of course,
need no such protection.
3. If 1t has been handled and trans
ported under unclean and unsanitary
conditions.
Dealers in ice, hotels, boarding
houses, restaurants and proprietors of
soda fountains are warned against the
sale of ice as food, or in food and
drink, which is contaminated by sew
age or from other causes
