"PRESTO, CHANGED"

They went to a swell restaurant
And ordered tender duck.
But when he went to carve the bird
He met with awful luck.
The oily duck slipped off the plate
And splashed into her lap.
The gravy bowl turned upside down
And covered her with pap.
But did that maiden jaw him good
And cry. "Oh, my new dress''
And drop him like a redhot cake
For making such a mess?
Oh, no! She whispered: "Lovey dove.
Don't mind. That's nothing. dear.
Just move that screen little bit
So we can spoon in here
AFTER.
They went into their dining room.
Where fine feast was spread.
She took her place down at the foot
While he sat at the head.
Again the duck skipped off the plate
And flew into her lap.
Her Paris silk was all smeared up
With oily juicy sap
Then quick the table went slam, bang!
The dishes all broke up.
He lay beneath the whole shebang.
All smearcd with red catchup.
And on the top there danced some one.
Is this that maiden sweet
Who called lsm lovey dove before,
But now kicks with both feet?

If you are arguing that it pays no
better to raise pure breeds than 9th.

A baker in Philadelphia pleaded
not guilty to using rots and spots.
The prosecution produced twenty-four
eggs seized at his bakery. They were
broken. and tWenty-three were rotten

so strong, he changed his plea at once,
but the judge fined him 5000 and costs.

PRESIDENT TAFT
GOES THROTGn STATE.
ENTERS AT LITTLE TOWN OF ARGENTINE
AND LEAVES US AGAIN AT BIG
STONE.

President Taft spent three days
in South Dakota, coming in on the
Burlington road and made his first
speech in the state at Edgmont,
bright and early Saturday morn
ing. He visited in succession that
day the towns of Custer, Dead
wood, Lead, Sturgis and Rapid
City. From Deadwood to Lead,
a distance of about three miles.
the trip was made in an auto and
was much enjoyed by the presi-
dent as the air was crisp and the
beautiful hills Capped with glisten-
ing snow. At Lead he went down
into the bowels of the earth eleven
hundred feet and inspected the in
terror workings of the world fam
Gus Homestake gold mine. When
he reached the surface he was per-
spring copiously but as he stepped
from the cage said with his usual
smile: 1t was fine-a great sight. =
He reached Pierre early Sunday
morning and spent the day there
as guest Of the capital city and
especially Governor Vessey and
Congressman Burke. Monday
was put in at Huron, Redheld and
lastly at Aberdeen where in the
evening he sat down to sumptu-
Gus banquet with Commissioner
| O. j. Fett of this place, and few
other friends. At all of these stops
in the state he / talked on matters
of vital interest to politicians and
common people alike.

THE MOVEMENT IN EGYPT.

Now it is the Moslem women of
Egypt who are taking part in the
women movement, having asked Of
the Moslem congress the right to at
tend prayers and sermons in the
mosques, a privilege already granted
to the women of Constantinople.
They also ask that the primary edu-
cation of young women be made obli-
gatory; that young girls be admitted
to schools of medicine; to use means
to prevent polygamy and the abuse
of divorce and to teach Mohamme-
dan girls sewing, housekeeping and
hygiene.

DESIRE TO MAKE NOISE.

DR.. Theodore Lessing, president
of the anti-noise association at Han
over, Germany, in lecture on the
psychology of noise, recently deliv-
cred in that city, said that the de-
,sire to make noise could never be
conquered. "It manifests itself not
only in the yelling of teamsters and
the whistling of hackmen, but in
|needlessly energetic welding of
,noise-making implements of trade, !"
he continued.

CRAWFORD ASSAILS
PROPOSED PRIMARY
POINTS OUT ALLEGED DEFECTS IN RICH.
ARDS PROPOSED new PRIMA.
RY law.

Before large audience at Mil
Ter last Friday, Senator Coe 1.
Crawford of Huron, delivered a
speech on the Richards primary
bill which is now before the elect
ors of South Dakota for their con-
sideration at the next general
election. The senator spoke Wig
orously explaining the operation
Of the law and his opposition there
to on the ground that it means a
reversion to nominating system
which for opportunity to create
machine control would be far
worse than the old caucus and con-
vention system.
The following are three. only. Of
the objections the speaker sugges
ted, there being some twenty in
all.
I. AS whole, it is a carefully
developed plan to erect, under
sanction of the law, political
guillotine with which to behead
every man who is brave enough to
independently advocate principle
and appeal upon that principle for
support to the rank and file of his
party for nomination as candi-
date for public Office. It does not
favor him unless he can get into
one Of two particular groups, who
are given a special monopoly ol
two columns in the official prima-
ry ballot.
i 2. 1t seems to create, encourage
and permanently establish factiona'
ism in every political party in the
state.
i 3. 1t provides a scheme by
which the party voters of each po-
litical party in each precinct of a
county shall surrender to two dele
gates-each representing faction
distinct from the other-and neith-
er being bound by any pledge,
oath or personal declaration oi
principles whatsoever-the power
to meet with all the other precinct
delegates of the same faction,
elected in that county, in county
conventions, held nearly two years
afterwards, and in such conven-
tions propose for nomination a
combination or machine group of
| factional candidates for all county
and legislative Offices and candi-
dates for delegates from that coun-
ty to each of two factional state
conventions for each political par
ty, and to adopt a platform and
have an eight word summary Of it
placed at the head OF such faction
al machine ticket in a column as
signed exclusively to that faction
on the primary ballot, denying
such right to any other group.

Sheep.

Good sheep are profitable when
well handled, and in districts of
country adapted to sheep Of
course sheep do best on dry land
low, moist or swampy lands are
not suited to the sheep. The
fenced pasture, fenced hog tight
is the proper thing. AS to the
number of sheep an acre OF land
will produce, some acres produce
ten times more grass than others
because they are sodded closer.
more grass grows on the ground
The best Illustration we can give
to guide in this regard would be
in comparison to cattle. II has al
ways been estimated that COW
in pasture, hay and feed, will
consume about the equal of eight
to ten sheep. Sheep do not nee
essarily need large areas to Craze
over. In the eastern and New
England States the farms are
fenced with very small pastures,
often but three to five acres in an
enclosure, and the sheep do we'll
1t is a good plan to change sheep
to other pastures where the en-
closures are very small. There
are insect enemies of the sheep,
but not anything very serious.
The sheep tick is easily gotten
rid of by dipping. Intestinal,
stomach and lung worms are
readily destroyed by a few doses
of turpentine and oil. The main
thing is to select the breed of
sheep you fancy most, then get
a pure bred ram and breed to a
decided Improvement each year
in the crop of lambs. There is no
class of stock that the small
farmer can breed and handle to
more profit, for the investment,
than sheep, except poultry.-Ex

In MemOrium.

before the Adair County Medic
al Society, by u. L. Taylor, on
Friday, March the 10th, 1911:
1t was announced in the Adair
County News, that the program
for to-day, would consist Of ex-
ercises on the life and death of
DR.. w. T. Grissom, who died at
the beginning Of this year.
When a member of a Masonic
Fraternity dies, the lodge at
tends the funeral in body, and
the members wear Grape for
thirty days. When a member a
church dies, a committee is ap-
pointed to pass resolutions be-
fitting the occasion, and they
rarely leave off any good thing
that the deceased has ever done,
and they permit the bad things
to be inferred with the body.
When a lawyer dies, a meeting
of the bar is called, resolutions
are;passed, all the living lawyers
make speeches, reciting the good
deeds of the deceased. And
why should not a Medical Society
hold memorial exercises over the
death of one of it's members?
Before Lr. Grissom died, when |
saw the end approaching, I in
tended to have our society attend
the funeral in body, but was
sick myself at the time and
could not attend. | regretted
this very much, for DR.. Grissom
and l had always been very dear
friends. We were associated to-
gether in other things beside the
Medical Society. Twenty years
ago. DR.. Mccormack, of the
State Board of Health, wrote to
me asking me to name two doc
cors which together with me,
should constitute Board of
Health of Adair County. IMAM
ed DR.. Grissom and DIR. William
Blair, of Chenille, and the same
three were appointed every two
years for fifteen years, Two
years ago, DR.. Blair resigned,
but DIR. Grissom continued to fill
that place until the day of his
death. He remained loyal to me
always. l only had to indicate
to him what wanted done, and
he was always ready to do it.
Nearly all this time he served
without pay, because | was all
this time the Health Officer, and
the Health Officer got what little
pay there was in the Board, and
the other members served with
out remuneration. For this he
never was known to grumble.
One time DR.. Grissom became
dissatisfied at something the
Board had done, and sent in his
resigna ton to the State Board of
Health, and DR.. Mccormack ask
ed me to name a successor, and
l promptly named DR.. Grissom.
He was reappointed, and that
was the end of the only unpleas-
antness. He was always ready
to give or take advice. AS a
practician, | knew him intimate
ly during his whole career. We
have been called together on
many occasions, and whether it
was my patient or his, an outsider
seeing us together treating the
case never could have told. He
was always affable and pleasant,
as ready to take advice as to give

He joined the Medical Society

Jul ing all ups anu UOWlS lie
hung to it. He was always
among the first to pay his dues,
as the records will show, and he
was surpassed by only one coun-
try member in attending the
meetings of the Society, and
that one member was DR.. Will
liam Blair, of Glenville. When
put upon the program, he nearly
always came prepared, and in
discussing the papers of other
members he would never dodge
the question, but always had
something to say that was peril
nent. AS a collector of his bills
he greatly surpassed NE, and
upon several occasions when the
same persons would owe both OF
us he would make some fix up in
which he would always remem-
Der me as we'll as himself. But
it was at his home among his
family that he appeared best.
His wife was a cousin to me, and
she was indeed and in truth a
help meet for him. He enjoyed
the company of his friends and
loved to see them come. He
prepared literally good things
for the table, and his wife, who
was good cook, prepared them
in such a way that it was always
pleasure to sit at his table.
But he has gone, gone the way
of all the earth, and we shall
never see his face again. Peace
to his ashes.
