Distance Lends Enchantment

How natural it is for people to
believe that in some place some
WHEREOF in any other place any
where-conditions are better,
money is freezer and life is easier
than in the place where they hap
pen to live. COntentment is a
priceless jewel, and very few peo-
pie SO fortunate as to possess
it. While there are a few people
who claim they have found the
place for them to live in the grea'
majority, wherever you 60 are
yearning for pastures rich and
new. The writer of this squib
does not lay claim to having seen
but very small patch of this
old world, but we have dubbed
around little. and one Of our
favorite pastimes is the sounding
of human nature whenever an
opportunity presents itself-and
that s most any old time.
How common it is to hear peo-
pie remark, "Oh, dear, wish l
was back to Gods country or
Il wish was out Of here, -" m
going to quit this country"-go-
ing to California. Oshkosh or
Kalamazoo-anywhere, just so it ,
a long way off, and some place
of which they know little of the
hardships and drawbacks but
have heard the advantages laud-
ed to the skies. 1t is enchanting
to be looking ahead to some new
home where you can imagine that
you will have everything just as
you want it, and nothing in the
world to prevent you from enjoy
| ing life in the fullest sense. Yes,

Trapped a Rather

Dallas, July 26.-Charles S.
StrOhm, living on homestead
six miles southeast of Winner,
tells of narrowing experience
he had with IA large rattler. On
several occasions he had en-
countered large rattler near his
farm gate but always at a time
when he had nothing at hand
with which to conduct an execu-
ton. He is somewhat fussy on
the snake question, anyway, and
finally resolved to trap the rep
tile with regulation steel trap.
He found number Of holes in
the latitude and longitude where
the serpent was usually sighted,
but concluded that they were a
a part Of the same system.
He filled all the holes except
one and was placing the trap in
position over that one, when
the snake suddenly pushed up
it's head and touched off the trap
getting firmly caught in the jaws
of the trap aforesaid. Very much
startled, Strohm jumped up with
the trap still in his hand, thus
lifting the huge rattler out OF
the hole. He admits that he fell
over backward and thinks he
had a few fits as the result OF
the shock.

Louis Schlottman was pas
senger on the eastbound train
fom Philip last Tuesday. His
father in law in Wisconsin needed
an assistant on his farm and sent
posthaste for Louie. His family
will probably remain here, as he
hopes to be back in time to seed
acres and acres of ground next
spring and thus make good where
he lost out this yea.
Ike Sponem writes from Adrian,
N. Oak, that prospects for good
crops in that locality are fine.

Mesdames Compton and Robin

The postoffice of Philip, estab-
lished July 1st, 1891, with Dan
Powell as postmaster, was nam
ed after Mr.. Philip. The first
location of the postoffice was in
the log house a short distance
east of what is now Po-
we'll postoffice. Mr.. Philip, with
his family, first resided in Stan
ley county at the old 73 ranch,
about fourteen miles down Bad
river valley from the forks of
the river-where Philip is now
located. The old ranch is today
the home of John Curington and
family.
The deceased leaves wife, tive
sons and three daughters to
grieve over the departure Of
loving husband and father. His
wife, who is of Sioux blood, is
known as woman of fine char
acter, and of modest and retiring
disposition and attractive person
ality.
The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon at the family home and
the remains laid to rest in a
mausOleum that had been com
pleted in a private cemetery at
the ranch only short time ago.
Rev. H. l.. Russell, of the Pierre
Episcopal church, conducted the
rites, which were in charge of
the Masonic order. Fully one
thousand of his friends attended,
paying tribute in no small way
to the memory of the departed,
who was a large-hearted, ,staunch
friend to his acquaintance. His
death is truly a loss to the COM
munity.
He was a man Of upright char
acter,a typical sturdy Scotchman,
who by strict attention to his
work and excellent business me-
thods, became one of the lead :
ing citizens of the state.
