RECORD IN BLACK HILLS

Rapidw City. S. D., March 20.-To
show what a remarkably mild winter
the Black Hills has had. figures com
piled by George V. Sager, United

highest average figure Of 81 for the
month, while the same month the mer-
curry reached So degrees maximum. The
maximum for November was IS, De-
cenber 81, January 81, February 60,
and SO far this month 81. The mini
nun temperature of the winter was
reached on January l, with IA degrees

TRIP HOMESTEADERS
FIGHT A PRAIRIE FIRE
Towns In New Districts Are
Threatened, With Fireguards
Ineffective.

Gregory, S. D., March 20.-The first
FERROUS prairie fire of the season Is re-
ported from the western part of Trip
county. How the fire started is not
known, but while 1t was raging great
alarm existed among homesteaders
and residents Of the little towns which
are commencing to dot the prairie In
that region. The fire had it's origin
near the Hay Stack buttes and in a
short time had gained great Roadway,
being swept onward by a fierce wind.
For a time the wind blew from the west
and swept the fire directly toward the
town of Carter. The citizens made
ready to fight 1t and save their town
when the wind changed to the south
west, driving the fire in a northeastern
ly direction. &
The fire swept down at lightning
speed toward the new own of Woods.
After a hard fight the course of the
fire was changed and the village was
saved. The fire burned until late at
night, when it reached a creek, where
the fire fighters succeeded III eXtin-
gushing it.
The grass on the prairie throughout
the state is as dry as finder, and ex-
IRENE care has to be taken to prevent
the starting of prairie fires at this sea-
SON., when high winds prevail nearly
every day.
Fireguards nave been plowed around
many of the prairie towns in the newer
portions of the state.

IT IS SPEAKER DoWD.

The caucus Of democratic repre-
sentatives, held In the Hall of the
House in Raleigh on Tuesday
evening of last week, made a hap
py selection for Speaker in the
person of William Cary Dowd,
who presided, with ease and abil-
itY, over the Baptist State conven-
ton recently held In Henderson
vile and was reelected to succeed
himself as president. Mr.. Dowd is
an experienced legislator, having
served his county of Mecklenburg
three times before in the General
Assembly, once as senator and two
terms in the House. He lacked
less than half a dozen votes of
election to the speakership at the
last session Of the Legislature and
but for belated train, carrying a
NUMBER OF his ardent supporters
would have succeeded at that
time.
This newspaper feels to congrat-
ulate Mr.. Speaker Dowd person

has attained through the efforts

of his numerous partial friends.
It is deserved recognition Of the
sterling worth and splendid intel
lectual attainments of a very

the editorial fraternity and his
election il especially pleasing to
them. He has held the highest
positions in the gilt Of the State
Press Association and is a leading
spirit in the life Of that important
organization. Mr.. Dowd's most
excellent afternoon paper, the
Charlotte News, is a strong expon-
ent of democracy, temperance, ed
ucation and industrial progress,
and he is the power behind the
throne. The following from the
News and Observer will be inter
esting in concluding our estimate
of man whom his people delight
to honor:
mr.. Dowd was born In Moore
county, March q, 1865. He was.
educated at Wake Forest College
where he graduated in 1889. Near
ly twenty years ago he purchased
the Charlotte News, then small
and poorly patronized afternoon
paper. and under his progressive
management it has come to be one
of the best papers in the Stat. In
1892 he married Miss Eloise Butt,
of Charlotte. They have three
children. Mr.. Dowd has been
active in every movement for
the upbuilding of Charlotte re
ligious, moral material, and has
long been a force in the political
life of the State. He has been
several time sa delegate to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention, and
has stood for the best policies of
his party. He has served as Wat
er. Commissioner and other impor-
tant places in Charlotte; served as
director of the State Deaf and
Dumb School at Morganton, and
served in the State Senate and in
the House of Representatives. He
was a candidate for Speaker of
the House in 1909 and in 1907,
both times coming within a few
votes Of winnig the nomination.
He was one of the most useful leg
islators in the fight for State Pro-
hibition, and as chairman of the
Liquor Trafice Committee, in 1907
endeared himself to the temper
ance hosts throughout the State.
"Two years ago he was chairman
of the Committee on Education.
He is a devoted champion of the
cause of public education from the
ruraPschool to University, and he
believes in the. most liberal appro
priations to all State educational
institutions.
In the prime of vigorous man
hood, an experienced legislator,
capable parlamentarian the
State is to be congratulated upon
his election. He will preside with
ability and prove worthy of the
great Office held by the greatest
men in the State.'

minded Tony to pause and ask a CO.
nundrum. When is a marquis not a
marquis?" The writer invited the pub
lie to guess. why. when he's a valet,
of course" And then Tony went on
to protest gayly that neither he nor
his paper was responsible for the as
sertion that this marquis IA not a
marquis. They merely put the ques-
ton and gave the answer for what it
was worth.
A number of people prominent in
New York society had received cable
grams from London informing them
that the valet of the Marquis of Love
land had absconded with his lord
ships jewelry and other belongings;
that the fugitive was known to have
unprecedented his master in London,
obtaining goods from tradesmen and
Loveland's name. If a person calling
himself the Marquis of Loveland
should appear in New York presenting
letters of introduction to the said prom
inent people earlier than the arrival
Of the White Star liner Baltic they
were to beware of him. as the real
Lord Loveland expected to sail on that
ship.
On the very day when these cable
grams were received. Tony Kidd went
on to state. there arrived by a
strange (N coincidence an attractive
looking and naughty young gentleman
known among acquaintance collected
on the Mauretania as Lord Loveland.
This alleged nobleman had gone to the

~OR an instant Val thought of
nothing but the heavenly sur
prise of seeing the girl he loved.
A wild impulse rushed ove him
to call her name. Lesley. Lesley!' and
spring from behind the curtain as if
they two were alone together in a
world of their own. But after the first
luminous instant the Joy of her pres
ence was blotted out in darkness.
He remembered everything-remem-
bered that he was Perceval Gordon,
an actor Of the submerged tenth, a
wretched, penniless transformer, who
for the moment came neal to being an
object of charity.
When he had hidden Lesley goodby
he was a splendid being who looked
down from his heights and. though
loving her, saw her impossible as a
wife. Their friendship had begun by
being somewhat of a condescension on
his part-from his own point of view
ct least-and she, half amused. half
angry, had seen that point of view
quite clearly, nor had she ever at
tempted to change it to the last.
At the thought that the curtain
would ring up and show him as he
was now, to the astonished eyes OF
Lesley Dearmer, he could have run
away, out Of the theater, anywhere
it mattered not whereof only she
need not see him, need not know that
the magnificent Lord Loveland and
the miserable 2. Gordon were one.
His blood surged up to his head,
throbbing in his temples and tingling
in his ears, but through the confusion
Of his senses penetrated the knowledge
that he could not go.
Let him suffer as he might and must.
he couldn't desert these people whom
he had undertaken to help out of the
trouble in which by his inexperience
he had landed them.
He was responsible for putting on
lord Bob,' and his was the principal
part. Crudely as he knew that he
played it, the performance could not
go on without him. If he refused to
act che curtain could not ring up, and
the money in the theater would have
to be refunded to the disappointed
audience.

It was Tony Kidd's first article that
Loveland read with a shock Of sur
prise. which at the very beginning set
the blood humming in his ears like
the sound Of the sea in a shell.
Tony had told his story spicily in a
way to make his readers laugh. But
Loveland did not laugh. He read on

burst of enlightenment which made
clear many mysteries.

rs your faith in humankind

1t jars your faith in humankind
When you investigate and find
The man to whom a dime you gave
From starving on the street to save
Or something worse, you were afraid,
Is working at it as a trade
And making more than some who soil
Their dainty hands at useful toll.
Who could resist his strong appeal
For just enough to get a meal
Or for a dime to buy a bed
On which to rest his aching head?
For when he coughs he looks so blue
You cough likewise, as from his cue.
And wouldn't o be sore enough
Were you informed he were a bluff?
Yet very often tits a fact
The man who does the beggar act
Has nom hidden in his sock
And maybe owns a business block,
And he is better able far
To give than what perhaps you are.
His children do not cry for bread,
And he has coin to paint things red.
But should that harden up your heart
And make you slow with chink to part?
No; give a little here and there
A few of them are on the square
And peace your footsteps will attend,
Worth more than those few cents you
spend.
When you have paid your little toll
It rests on his and not your soul.
