Would it not be nice to live a thousand years! Well even if
you could linger along for that Lengths OF time, you would never
again see a sale, such as is being conducted for The Peoples
Warehouse. Cost and profit are words which have long been
left out of the dictionary used by Lewis Bros. u Go. 1t is not
up to lis to care anything about what the goods cost. Profit, we
never made one in our lives, it is not cur business. Our line OF
work is to raise money to pay the merchants bills. We don't
come here to stay three to four months to raise fifty thousand
dollars. Not us; we Just cut and slash prices so low that the Job
is completed in about two weeks time. You have probably at
tanded many sales in the town Of Pendleton and found a few
bargains here and there. The merchant did not have the heart
to dig into his whole stock 50 he thought he would set a trap and
bait the public with a few leaders. This merchant had no rea-
sen for a sale, but Just fell in line to be doing something. You
know some people when they must accomplish an end are there
with originality, others are WOULD-BE- COPlESTS
THERE ALWAYS HAS TO BE A BELL COW, H
OTHERS DROP IN BEHIND FADE OUT OF
STGHTS SIMPLY ECAUS THEY ARE AFRAID TO
CUT HI PRICES TO THE BONE. They know someone
is going to draw the crowd down town, so they throw ont a few
leaders and try to hoodwink the public on the rest of the stock.
Cut prices and the public is with you. Deceive them and you
are left alone. Well Lewis Bros. e. Co. were never left alone IN
their long years Of merchandising experience. The only trouble
we are having is to get enough salespeople. If you can sell goods
will YOU kindly call at the store. Yours, the Bargain Giyer,

sPAIN's SUMMER CAPITAL.

San Sebastian, the summer capt.
tai of Spain, is growing seaport
city and the capital of the Basque
province of Guipuscoa, in which
Carlist sentiment is believed to be
strong. The city is situated on the
peninsula at the base of steep hill,
which is crowned with one of the
strongest castles in Spain. The
shore along the roadstead is most
beautiful and many thousands Of
visitors are attracted to the place
every year. The king has fine pal
ace there, known as Mirawar, and
the court is often transferred to it
during the hot weather.
San Sebastian has undergone nu-
merous sieges, the most memorable
Of which was in 1913, when a
French garrison of 5000 men held
the city for time against the duke
of Wellington. The English loss in
the siege was 5000 men, and on its
capture the greater portion of the
place was burned.

From The News.
Deputy Sheriff Bixby returned
Tuesday from Mobridge where he
had been on official business. While
away he also visited Timber Lake
and Isabel.
C. Forschall, until recently pro-
prietor of dray line here since
the opening of the town, is closing
up his business affairs here, having
purchased and taken possession of
a restaurant and rooming house in
Aberdeen.
Train service is much improved
on the Cheyenne branch of the c.
M. & P. S. R'y., daily train be-
ing run each way. This takes
good care of passenger and freight
traffic and no more complaints are
heard on that score.
]. Barber and J. Mccoy, young
farmers from Aberdeen, drifted in
to town Tuesday and after taking
a few lessons in diversified farming
from c. T. Barber, will proceed to
make a couple of quarters of land
in this neighborhood yield susie
nance for the next year and hall
or longer.
Henry Fielder, who lives on this
side of the river across from Lee
Beau, was here Tuesday. He re-
ports the Missouri to be tight at
that point, too tight to cross.
The ice is all out at the agency
and perhaps few days more will
clear the channel as far up as Le-
Beau, and1f warm weather contin-
ues ferry boats thould begin to
cross soon after the Ist of April.
Jess Knight, an old-time COW
man, and of recent years employed
by the Minneapolis & St. Louis
railroad company as live stock So
licitor, has purchased the Proud
stock of merchandise at LeBeau
and is already in possession. Mr..
Knight is a genial man and his
wide acquaintance on this side of
of the river should insure the store
a goodly patronage.

State Land Leases.

The state land department is re-
ceiving SO many inquiries as to the
rights of lessees of state lands un-
der the provisions of the law which
provides for the cultivation of state
lands. that they are sending out a
circular letter to all holders of state
lands under lease, as to the rules
which govern. The department
will not make any agricultural
leases this year, as it will be inn
possible to get the provisions of the
new law into practical working
shape until too late for the carry
ing on of agriculture for this year.
None of the present holders of
grazing and meadow leases are
given any additional rights under
the provisions of the new law, and
cultivation under the provisions of
their present leases is just as much
violation of the trespass laws of
the state, as if they had no lease at
all to their tracts. Along with the
letter they are sending copies of the
trespass laws as they now stand,
and a warning against violation Of
the same. All leases which have
been made in the past hold just the
same status as they have had un-
der the old law. and there will be
no change in conditions before next
year when matters will be in shape
to practically take up the work Of
leasing the lands for agricultural
purposes, and not until such leases
have been made will it be legal to
attempt cultivation of the la4ds
held under lease.-Pierre Capitol
Journal.

WHERE MEN GET SHORTER.

A singular result of the expert
ments of DR.. Angelo Mosso on the
physiological effects of high alti-
tudes is that mountain ascent may
produce such a flattening of the
lumbar curve that a man may be an
inch and a half shorter on the sum-
NIT Of Monte Rosa than when he
is in the valleys beneath. The
height of Monte Rosa, the second
loftiest peak Of the Alps, is 1925
feet. The cause of the shortening is
partly the exertion of climbing. The
human stature always diminishes
during the day.

FLOATING FORTS AS DEFENSE
Novel Scheme Proposed for Protec-
tlon Of Three Of Enaland's
Ports.

A novel scheme for the defense Of
Sheerness, Portsmouth and Devon
port, three of England's principal
naval ports, against the attacks Of
hostile torpedo craft is at present
under the consideration of the Brit
ish admiralty.
There are at present in the navy
q number of old battleships which
are practically useless for war pur-
poses. 1t is proposed that some Of
these vessels shall be converted into
floating forts.
All the heavy guns and if neces-
sary also the machinery would be
removed. The ship would then be
equipped with large number Of
4.7-inch and 4-inch quick-fring
guns. 1t is estimated that some of
the vessels could easily mount from
60 to 80 of these weapons.
It is pointed out that a ship
armed with 80 four-inch guns hav-
ing 40 on each broadside, would be
able to keep up fire from each gun
of ten rounds minute. Even if
the attacking craft could not be
seen. it is doubtful if one boat in
twenty could live through such a
rain of shot long euongh to enable
it to do any damage. AS the float
ing forts would be equipped with
powerful search lights there would
be little chance of approaching boat.

A Wonderful News Service,

IA W OAASAAAA ANSWo wi NANSs
Have you ever paused to think
what a marvellous organization
must be necessary to lay before
you each day an accurate account
of the happenings of yesterday in
Europe, Asia, Africa, South Ame-
RIGA, Australia, the islands of the
sea and the whole expanse of our
own continent, all in a single news
paper? The intricate network of
cables and telegraph lines. the
complicated chain of news-gather-
ing agencies stretching across con-
tinents and oceans, the innumerable
reporters working daily for you
under tropic suns and over arctic
snow-have you ever felt the ro-
mantle thrill of it all in reading a
great modern newspaper such as
the Chicago Record-Herald? We
mention this paper especially be-
cause of the completeness of its do
mestic and foreign news service.
1t has a correspondent in every
town or city of importance in the
United States, a veritable army of
them in all. In addition it has the
benefit of the foreign news service
of the New York Herald. famous
for its worldwide cable system and
for the reliability of its foreign news
also that of the New York World
and the New York Journal of
Commerce, besides that of the
great cooperative news-gathering
organization, the Associated Press.
With such a vast and complete
news service it is not strange that
the Record-Herald so easily holds
its own as one of the great newspa-
pers of the world.

That it is sure to be a wet year
because the prairie dogs are round

No attention will be given to
any complaints received bv this Of

age to testify in court, and this Of

tenders to the best of his ability
when the facts are laid before him.

TUB DRESSES FOR A DOLLAR
Dainty Froeks In All Sorts of Designs
Are Now Well Within the
Reach Of All.

IL Is astonishing how many dainty
frocks for the summer can be made
these days setting TIE limit of ex.
penditures at 81, including the pat
terms and threads.
Never before have so many delicate
designs been shown In inexpensive
lawns and ginghams, and the busi-
ness girl should begin now to make
the smart little dresses which she will
wear to the office during the coming
summer
Two things should be remembered.
One is that much trimming OF any
sort detracts both from the cool ef-
feet of the gown and makes It bad to
launder; the second is that however
dainty the very light materials are
they are far less serviceable than
plaid or a plain bun or blue dress.
AS to the question OF expense, be-
gin with the pattern. Choose one Of
the new ones that are capable of being
carried out in several different fash
ions. with or without the high waist
line Ut with long or short sleeves and
with or without yoke. Thus for Is
cents you will provide yourself with
pattern for several frocks.
Next, few yards Of white null and
some inexpensive lace will make
broad collars and cuffs and fichu or
a dainty pointed yoke. all of which
will serve as trimming. for your
gowns. -- .;s,s-.ssil 49,. ,..--!D,,sls,.,, =

Oridjn Of Clerk

A clerk. We have had occasion to
point out, says the London Chronicle,
Is SO called because he can read and
write. The full genealogical story
connected with that is striking ex-
ample of the adaptability of words.
For the source of Clerk" Clerical"
and clergy" is word that has moth
ing to do, necessarily, with either
scholarship or priesthood-the Greek
"kleroc," a lot. There are various
Views as to the manner in which
"clericus" was derived from this, some
holding that the service OF God was
regarded as the lot or portion of the
priests, others that they we're them,
selves the portion of the Lord, and
others that original choice of them by
lot may be the explanation. The later
developments OF clerk" are more ia,
miliar; our modern "clerk" comes
from the fact that at one time the
clergy alone could write. And SO Il Is
that a clerical error" can be com
mitted by any layman.
