Comma In Out of the Wet.

There is an amusing story by Atbe-
naeuS which suggests the possible orr
gin of the phrase He does not know
enough TO come in out of the wet" Ac-
cOrding to the entertaining grammarian
referred TO. a town in Greece under
stress of evil circumstances borrowed
money from a rich man. who took as
security for the loan a mortgage on the
handsome portico which surrounded
the market place. He was not IN I'm
generous creditor, for when it rained
he caused the town criers to announce
that the citizens had permission to
take refuge Under the colonnade.
Strangers visiting the town who fail
ed TO have the ma ter properly explain
ed t" them were so impressed by the
extraordinary circumstances that they
spread abroad the report that the peo-
pie were SO stupid that they had to be
told when to come in out of the wet.

CARVING a Stretcher.

The bearers of a Stretcher should be
as near the same height as possible.
If there is any difference the taller
and stronger man should be at the
head A stretcher should be carried
by the hands or suspended by straps
from the shoulders. Never carry
stretcher when loaded upon the Shout
ders 1t frightens the patient. and he
might fall off very easily. especially If
one of the bearers should stumble. The
bearers should not keep step. but break
step. the one in front starting off with
his right foot and the one behind with
his left The injured should be car
ried feet first. In going up Il. hill or up
stairs the head should be in front and
the reverse in descending. except in
case Of broken thigh or leg, when
the feet should be first in going up and
last in coming down to keep the
weight Of the body off the injured
limb.-''First Aid to the Injured" DR..

A early A;r.hip.

We are told by Peter Farley. who
wrote as an eyewitness. that in Au-
gust, 1885, the airship Eagle was Of
J ticially advertised to sail from London
with government dispatches and pas
sengers for Paris and to establish di-
rect communication between the capt.
tails Of Europe This early type Of air
ship was 16O feet long. fifty feet high
and forty feet wide. aud she. lay in
the dockyard of the Aeronautical so
ciety in Victoria road. near kenSing-
ton gurdenS, then quite Il rural spot.
Built to hold an abundant supply of
gas. she was covered with oiled lawn
and carried frame seventy five feet
long and seven feet high. with u cabin
secured by ropes to the balloon. An
immense rudder and wings or fins on
each side for purposes of propulsion
completed her fittings. The deck was
guarded by netting. After all this
preparation and advertisement the Ea-
gle never got beyond Victoria road. for

When Z Oou Chokes.

Dogs frequently choke. A bone, a
nail or piece of tin gets in the
ihroat, and there is great danger Of
death before the arrival Of the surgeon.
Many of them do die. but there is no
reason for this, for it is easy, without
the slightest danger Of getting bitten.
TO put the hand in tho mouth of dog
and to draw out or push down the OBJ
struction that is choking it. a bandage
a handkerchief or towel will dds
passed between the teeth and over the
upper jaw. and in a similar way anoth-
az bandage is passed between the teeth
and over the under jaw. One person.
holding the ends of these two band
ages, keeps the dogs mouth wide Open
A second person can then with perfect
ease and safety put his fingers down
the animals throat and relieve it.

A Snake Story,

This story. is told Of the late DR..
Emil Reich. One day when travelling
he lay down to rest in the shadow of
bush and fell asleep. He awoke with
n start to find that night was coming
on and that rain had begun to fall.
Quickly snatching up his umbrella, he
tried 70 open it and. finding it worked
stittly. he pressed the spring vigorous

ripping and tearing and snake fell to
the ground split in two The reptile
had apparently swallowed the umbrel-
Ia as far as it could.

Original Era Of Good Feeljnu

The phrase applied to the administra.
lion Of James Monroe. the era of
good feeling first appeared in a Bos-
ton newspaper. the Columbian Sentinel
of July 10. 1917. From that time until
the present hour the two administra.
tons of Monroe-a period of eight
years. 1717 to 1S25-are referred to in
the terms of the newspaper paragraph
which so aptly expressed the public
sentiment of the day.-Magazine Of

STANLEY COUNTY INTERESTED
Commissioners Put County in
Line on Little Bend Project

The board Of commissioners Of
Stanely county, at their meeting
Saturday. voted to unite with
Hughes and Sull v county in bear
ing the expense of preliminary
survey of the pro- Ject of IA power
plant at Little Bend on the Mis-
souri,, with irrigation by pumping
water from the Missouri. This
action on their part assures the
work Of the preliminary survey,
and the Westinghouse company
OF New York has been notified
to send out its men at once for
the work. 1t is expected that
they will be out within Il short
time, and that the preliminary
work will be completed before
cold weather sets in. OF course,
the whole project is i'll the shape
Of il problem us yet, and it will
take the report of the prcEmlna-
ry survey to decide how much
real life it has. But the coun-
ties interested have shown their
Willingness to invest enough Of
the public funds to test out Just
the possibilities of the plan,and
what will be required i'll the way
If financial backing to put it
INTO existence as IL practical work
ing scheme. If it is practical and
1T is believed to be, it will mean
that thousands of acres, for miles
back from the Missouri, will be
placed III position where dry
years will not affect their pros
pcrlty.

People Muddled Over Law

Pierre, Sept. 13.-Thc carrying
Of the "hcrd law" OF the last SEES
sion to the people for a vote at
the next general election in Nov
ember, 1912, appears to be on"
Of the least understood PROPOSE
tions before the people Of the
western half Of the state. DIFF
fercnt parties are attempting to
carry out provisions of the law,
such as suit their individual in
tcrcstS, and there is constant
clash over the situation. To sum
the situation up, with the law Of
last winter held up by the filing
# referendum petitions, simply
means that the situation is just
the same as it has been for years
so far as the workings Of the law
are concerned. The only differ
cnce being that the law cutting
out free range privileges will be
put to the people of the whole
state for vote next year, and
If they approve the law, then,
and not until then will the law
wiping out free range privileges
become effective.

Keith Thinks 1t Beats Dry Farm

was very agreeably surprised
this morning to learn that our
county commissioners had taken
"A hand in the Little Bend irriga
tion project. Several weeks ago
/ wrote IA personal letter to
Governor Ncsscy, asking him If
there Was not some way IN which
the state could start something

ty and also the settlers, who sure

work to do to help them live
through the coming winter. |
mad understood that there had
once been Il survey made that
showed that it was possible to
divert the Cheyenne river from
"A point west of us to the divide
between the Bad and Cheyenne
rivers for the purpose of irrigat-
ing the lands north of us in Stan
ley county.
The governor S reply was to the
effect that there were no funds
available in the state treasury
for such work, but that it was
certainly worth investigation and
he would do what he could to
investigate the matter.
L. the meantime, it seems other
schemes have been in progress,
that have developed another idea,
viz: To tunnel or ditch through
what is called the little bend oil
the Missouri river, just at the
northeast corner of Stanley cOun-
ty where the river makes a
horseshoe bend Of some thirtyfivc
miles to gain something like two
miles, and by cutting a ditch or
tunnel 20 feet i'm diameter thro
the neck Of this bend, it is esti-
mated that a fall Of 1877 feet
will be acquired, giving thirty
four thousand horse power at
low water. This immense power
can be utilized to operate tre-
mendous dynamos at the falls and
can then be wired to other sub
stations any where within a ra-
dius of 200 miles without loss for
the purpose of irrigation, trac-
! ton, light and heat.

Of what this means to Stanley

EXPRESS RATES MUST DROP
Judge Willard Declines To En-
Join Railroad Commission

Pierre, Sept. 9.-Gov. Nessey
has received wire from =. j.
Daughcrty, attorney for the state
railroad commission, from st.
Paul, that Judge Willard has
refused to grant an injunction to
prevent express rates authorlZ-
cd by the 1909 legislature going
into effect. The 1909 statute
provided that all express rates
in the state should be reduced to
10 per cent Of the rate III force
january |, 1909. The commits
sion prepared such schedule,
which was promptly cnJolned by
the express companies. 1t IS
likely that the rates will go into
effect within Il short time.

effect within Il short time.
The St. Paul Dispatch says
Of the case:
On the basis that evidence sub
mittcd by the Wells Fargo Ex-
press company failed to show 1t
was not earning I per cent on the
investment, which the company
claimed to be its asscssable value
in South Dakota, Judge G. n.
Willard declined to cnjoin the
railroad commission Of that state
from enforcing the new schedule
OF rates worked out i'll accord
ancc with the direction OF the
last state legislature.
An amusing feature OF the
ease was the fact that on July
% last the same company, repre-
scntcd by Bailey a. Voorhees,, at
torncvs of Sioux Falls, appeared
before Judge Willard asking re-
lief from tax assessment OF
Sl7l 900, made by the state, and
at that time sworc that It's assess
able property in the state did not
exceed $4,000 in value, consist
INC OF horses, trucks and other
paraphrrnalia, and that, aside
from these articles, its true valu-
alton did not exceed 1000.
Judge Willard ruled i'll the
present case that this property
might, therefore, be valued at
So. 900, and in accordance with
tnr preccucnts which have nam
ed 7 per cent as Il far return,
the express company would have
to earn only S42O a year.
The company, which asked Tor
the restraining order on the
ground that the new rates would
be confiscatory, did not submit
evidence which, in the opinion OF
the court, established its case,
as figures for only two months,
September. 1909, and the same
month in 1910, were submitted.
Another claim that the new
schedule of rates was illegal be-
cause it intcrfered with inter-
state commerce, was oVerruled
by Judge Willard, who declined
TO rule the ease analogous to the
ones in which Judge Sanborn
gave an opinion favoring the
railroads.

KINSHIP CLAIMANTS ASK
BIT OF BIG REILLY ESTATE.
Each of Six Women Says She's
Nearer Relative.

Mrs. Margaret l.. Gray. of 356 New
street, says she can prove that her
mothers uncle was the father Of the
late General James W. Reilly. of Wells
vile, o.. and so is entitled to a big slice
of his $250,0 900 estate.
And Mrs. Mary Logue Giennon. of
81 Ferguson street, is equally confident
that her father. John Reilly. of Reilly
town. County Meath, was the brother
of the generals father. SO that she's en-
titled 10 a big slice of the estate.
Mrs. Edwin r. Savacool. of l73 Sus-
sex street. has claimed another share
on the ground that her family name IS
the same of that of Mrs. McIlroy, the
generals mother. who changed her
name after coming to this country, and
Mrs. Mary McGrath. Of IS S%tuyvesant
avenue, wants a hundred thousand or
so on the same grounus.
When it is added that Mrs. Anna r.
Raemsch. of Bloomfield. thinks she is
an even closer relative of the deceased
and has added her claim to the four
already mentioned ii may be judged
that Newark will have a part in the
settlement of the estate of the old
"warhorse" unless he proves to have
Len q different Reilly altogether.
The general died five wears ago in his
adopted home in Ohio. leaving the big
property behind with no direct heirs.
Mrs. MeGrath was one of the first to
enter the lists as claimants, and the
others are now following. Their state
ments of the generals birth, his par
entage and his ancestry in general all
tally. But a woman named Palmer. of
Connecticut. who is the sixth claim
ant, seems to have the inside track up
to date because she can show a photo.
