First Century Find.

President Solomon Schetchter OF the
Jewish theological seminary OF Amer
lea has discovered Hebrew manu-
script in Cairo, Egypt. where 1t is said
TO have been cherished with great
care for 1000 years by the Jewish
congregation.
1t is claimed that the document was
written In the first century OF the
Christian era.
1t has been translated by Prof.
Schetchter and published by the uni
yersity press in England. 1t purports
TO be an address by religious leader
to his followers. The references are
held by George Margoliouth. custo.

British museum, to apply to John the
Baptist, and Jesus and Paul. John Is
called a Messiah who led the people
to mediate on their sins, Jesus a
preacher OF righteousness, and Paul a
scoffer-presumably because OF his
dissent from Judaism.
The writer and his followers appear
to have belonged to sect, half jew
ish and half Christian. which fled to
Damascus after the destruction OF Je

Fastening Battery Wires.

There are two ways Of doing almost
everything. and this is especially true
of fastening battery and coil terminal
wires. One way is wrong. and the
other is to twist the bare end OF the
wire around the terminal as the hands
of the clock move. and then tighten
up the nut. The reason for this is be.
cause the screw-thread is right-hand.
ed, therefore the tendency of the tight.
ening nut will be to twist the wire
around the terminal tighter than 1t
was. Should the wire be twisted the
other way. the nut would tend to un.
twist 1t and 1t would slip under the
nut and very likely get~a very poor
hold.

the Mall grew and fourished. re-
mained a fashionable lounge and
promenade. There beauty wit and
fashion paraded in the days of the
early Georges. When st. James pal
ace ceased. in the reign of George
III, to be the residence of the mon
arch, the park began to lose prestige
as a place of fashion. George ~
made some improvements to the park,
and finally threw it open as a public
resort. The roads through it were
first lighted with gas in 1922. This
period marks tie end of the exclusive
tenure by the crown Of demesne
which had been private royal pleas
ground since the time Of Henry
VIII.
The last vestige of its early rural
associations disappeared with the
milksellers and their cows when they
were removed from their historic
standing opposite Spring gardens to
make way for the widening OF the
Mall some ten years ago Gone. 100,

A spacious avenue has now been
made and new trees are growing
apace, but there are some who regret
the loss of the restful charm OF the
dear old Mall of st. James.

After the Restoration, Charles II.
although he did not occupy st. James
palace, made hobby of beautifying
the park and gardens. Pepys was an
enthusiastic chronicler of the great
and noble alterations" and was con-
stantly ito the park" to see how they
were progressing. He speaks OF the
engines at work drawing up the wa.

Garden" which was planted, of the
kings aviary and the wild fowl which
he kept. and liked to feed.
Skating was first introduced into
this country by the cavaliers of the
merry monarch on the canal Of st.
James Park during the severe win
ter Of 1862. and at the St. James
promenades gentlemen were first seen
wearing muffs." Smoking was not
tolerated in the park. Charles II and
Catherine of Braganza rode there
daily in "a most elegant manner :"
The grand promenade was at the east
end of the Mall, in front of the Horse
Guards. The Mall was then a smooth
hollow walk. bordered by box and
used for the game of Nell, which gave
1t its name. The duke of York made
the game fashionable and was the
leader in an animated scene of cava-
liers chattering, laughing and salut
ing as they essayed to throw the bali
through the iron ring hanging from a
post.
The park Of that period was beau

the king had constructed his duck

aviary, which gave the name to Bird

the canal was Rosamond's pond, no.

licit aims from the wayfarers who
passed their solitary abode, before
Henry VIII cast covetous eyes upon
their woodland domain. He desired
to convert 1t into grounds for VOL
sey's palace Of Whitehall. which he
had lately appropriated. The leper
sisters received notice to quit and
were granted sum In compensation
The hospital was razed to the ground.
and upon tie site Henry erected the
palace. or, as 1t was then termed. the
Manor House of st. James" Thither
he brought his new queen. Anne Bo-
leyn, and In the bright spring morn
lngs they rode forth a-Maying with a
gay cavalcade over uninterrupted
country to Hampstead.
st. James Park attained its full
glory under the Stuarts as fashion

ure ground. The Sieur de la Serre
described the palace and park in
glowing terms when he visited the
court of Charles and Henrietta
Maria. He was lost in admiration of
the two great grand gardens" plant
ed with fruit trees and bounded by "a
great park" filled with deer. Across
this same park Charles was taken to
Whitehall for execution.

Somewhere between the assertions
of the optimist and those OF the pessi-
mist will the truth about South Da-
kota this year be found. Conditions
generally are not as bad as they have
been made to appear by those who
live in the dryest parts of the state,
nor are they as good generally as they
appear Il the eye Of the dweller in
more favored spots. AS a whole
South Dakota will experience a brief
check in her progress. 1t will not
cease but it will be retarded for a
time. Conditions will be no worse
than the pioneers of Nebraska or
Iowa saw them in portions OF those
states where land now is worth from
800 TO $3.50 per acre.-Bad River

ECONOMY OF GOOD ROADS.

The economic loss due TO bad roads
is beyond computation and the indif-
ference of the general public toward
any projected improvement OF our
highways is not easily understood.
Each owner of property must be held
accountable for the condition of the
highways Of this locality.
OF our public works the condition
of none reflects our business status
more accurately han the condition of
our highways. To make good roads
so that products Of the farm are easily
and quickly brought 10 this market
is to increase the value of every farm
along those roads and is practically
to increase the farmers facilities and
lessen their expenses; at the same
time making this town a bigger and
better market for farm produce.
II every citizen could see in actual
money the financial return on his in
vestment in good roads he would con-
tribute his share thereafter with ala
Gritty. He has drained the swamps
on his land and converted them into
arabic land. He has adopted improved
farm implements-he has, in fact,
adopted all modern methods-in order
to increase the productiveness Of his
land. But the marketing of his farm
products is still seriously hindered by
defective highways. The actual re-
turns on any investment in improving
the roads to market are just as direct
and even more prompt than are those
from farm drainage and improved
farming methods.
In these days of automobiling good
roads open up a much wider range of
vision for the rural inhabitants and
the same conditions that enable our
residents to visit other sections in
duce residents of other communities
to visit this locality. This intercom-
m%unication results in a kind Of ad-
vertising that inevitably increases the
value of property by bringing in de-
sirable purchasers. In fact, the re-
suit accruing from the building of
good roads comprise an endless chain
builds the roads.

BURNING THE HAMMER.

Out in Seattle the other day they
had a big civic celebration, a tremen-
dous procession and an %outpouring of
many thousand citizens, the GROWING
glory of the occasion being a great
bonfire at which a gigantic hammer
of wood was burned. The meaning
of the celebration was that hereafter
knocking" is to be unknown in that
city.
1t was a splendid idea, and might
well be copied in other cities. There
is too much knocking" in all cities in
these modern days. 1t is a habit that
has grown from a harmless petulance
into a real menace to growth and de-
velopment.
No citizen has a right to knock"
his city and at the same time retain
his residence in it. If he wants to
knock let him first withdraw from it..
The citizen who is always knocking
the city is not one whit better than
the man who is always abusing his
employer.
Public officials find this indiscrimi-
nate use of the hammer one of the
most discouraging things with which
they have to contend. Whatever is
done is condemned by disconnected
and grouchy citizens, until the serv-
ants of the public weary of striving
against such disagreeable odds.
Knocking is a habit which brings no
satisfaction. If every citizen put in a
day boosting there never would DC any
more knocking, because the results of
the boosting would be so amazing that
no citizen would ever be willing to re-
turn to the husks of the kicker.
Talking good times makes EN-
good" said a homely philosopher.
When everybody in a city is boosting
the outside world takes notice of it
and is willing to place a much larger
investment there than If the city was
torn by small ~dissension, and the civic
chorus marred by the discord of the
knocker.
Every city ought to say to each
citizen: IF this Is your city. boost it;
IL 1t isn't your city, get ou,."-St.
Paul Pioneer-Press.

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Another era OF nation-wid specula.
ton has passed. This time the peo-
pies spare cash went into land pro-
iects many of which have proven just
about as productive of dividends as
have in the past similar flyers in
stock exchanges. Many people OF this
community have contributed TO the
land boom. They have been attracted
by the fact that the property they
bought is far from home and, as a
rule, in a locality that they knew
little, if anything, about. A large
amount Of this business has been
done by prospectus and circular let
ter, and in some cases the buyer will
be happier if he never sees what he
bought. We all believe in land in
vestments, but We have some good
land here in our own neighborhood
that ought to be improved.
This movement has taken capital
from u communities that might 9TH
erwise have been spent for local i'm.
provements, for homes, schools,
churches, better roads, farm improve
ments and many other things which
would have made for the greater pros
perity OF this vicinity, We believe
now, however, that the time has come
to center attention upon the welfare
it is time to forget about politics, the
tariff and other bogies and settle down
TO a plan for lettering this particular
community by strong cooperative eff
fort.
1t has been said that the tariff is
a local issue and, in a large measure,
the same may be said of prosperity.
The business men Of this vicinity
have il in their power 10 make pros
perity in this locality, but, in order
TO accomplish something definite, their
money must be kept at home and
spent at home. Our general welfare
viii not be promoted by sending It &c
Canada or to any part Of the world
with which We have no daily business
relation.
We have a Commercial Club to lay
out a campaign Of development which
will make this a better place to live
in. There Is No Place Like Home"
when everyone is trying to make it a
better place. The time for action is
now. We can afford to disre-
gard every other issue but that of
local prosperity, but We should be up
and doing something to further u
interests. We have in this vicinity
fine homes, good farms, good schools,
good roads and many other things that
help to make life worth living. Let's
try to make them still better and put
our money into solid improvements
at home.
