Many of the people in this part of

the weather predictions of old Hicks
and other almanac makers. Almanac
predictions are among the greatest
fakes of the age, and it is surprising
that in this enlightened day people
will take stock in them. Neither old
Hicks nor any of the other almanac
makers, or takers, can possibly tell
what sort of weather we are going to
have week in advance, leave alone

expects by coronation day to be per-
feet in the art of kowtowing and other
things required of him. We are told
that he has already sent in an order
through the Avery, Clothing house
to Poole, the kings tailor in London,
for knee breaches, swallow-tail coat,
etc., and directed that they be sent to
his apartments at Buckingham palace.

Raided Druqqists.

Willow L~akes-Sheriff Dunlap made
a raid on drug stores here and else
where in the county, and as a result
the county treasury has been benefited
and greater care will be exercised in
future by some of the druggists in sup
plying applicants with liquor. The
sheriff arrested a drug clerk and the
proprietor of a pool hall at Vienna for
evading the liquor laws, and also made
a call upon a Willow druggist, who
paid a small fine rather than fight the
case. While the parties interviewed
by the sheriff have evidently violated
the law to some extent, it is generally
acknowledged that the greater part of
the liquor which finds its way into the
hands of those who consume it is sold
by '~'bootleggers," who make a business
of violating the law. A close watch is
being kept over several persons who
are supposed to be engaged in boot
Logging" and when caught with the
goods" so to speak, they will be ar
rested and prosecuted to the full ex-
tent OF the law. Sheriff Dunlap and
the other county officers are doing
their utmost to put a stop to the lille.
gal selling Of liquor in the county.

Divorced and Mates Her Affinity.

Sioux Falls.-The granting by Judge
Jones, of the circuit court, in this city
a divorce to Henry Scnimmel from his
wife, Minnie Schimmel, was followed
by several sensational developments.
In the afternoon the divorced woman
and Charles Hart, a well known trav-
cling man, boarded a train and pro-
ceeded to Canton, where they were
made man and wife. They her re-
turned to Sioux Falls, going to a board
ing house, and had hardly reached the
place when a deputy sheriff appeared
and served upon Hart a summons in
suit instituted against Hart by Schim-
mel, who seeks to recover damages in
the sun of $4,000 from Hart for the
alienation of the affections of Mrs.
Schimmel. A few hours later the po-
lice were summoned to the boarding
house by the claim that Schimmel
and his son had appeared there and
were threatening to fill Harris hide
full of lead" When the police reach.
ed the scene Schimmel and his son
had disappeared. Friends have since
interviewed to prevent further hostili-
ties between Hart and the Schimmels.

the floor below. The highest seats
were 10 feet. The underpinning had
become insecure and with the heavy
weight the staging broke. The plat
form had been used in rehearsal during
the morning. The platform went down
slowly, which in a measure minimized
the force of the fall and prevented any
serious accident. With the exception
OF n or two of the women, injured
but slightly, no one was hurt.
There was a great miXup of chairs,
women, men and boards and it took
some time to extricate the mess so that
the concert could go on. 1t happened
just at the start.

Shiloh as a Battle Of Chances.

In summing up the battle of Shiloh
. Is apparent that chance played the
most important part in it. The chance
that delayed Buell. in the first days
fight, the chance that put him on the
scene in time to snatch victory from
defeat, the chance that delayed John
ston on the first day. the chance that
Grant took when he did not intrench,
the chance that led Grant to recall
Wallace from going blindly into what
would have been the most important
position on the field, and the chance
that struck down the only man who
had a clear conception of the situation
Johnston. Clearly 1t was a battle
OF chances. Yet there was another
chance. The golden opportunity the
Union troops neglected by not press

ates

~ HE American people honor
eMeM,M today those who fought
IN and those who fell in what
~ will ever be for this nation
Sk)0 the Great War.
The story OF this wal
will never grow old while
the republic endures. Since the last
shot was fired a new generation has
arisen and another is rising. Yet the
boy of fourteen today is as keen to
read and speak of the Great Civil War,
as was his father twenty-five or thirty
years ago.
1t was different from other wars. II
was not fought for land or room or
to reach the sea, nor for an interna.
tional position. Much less was it
fought for a dynasty or a personality,
or against any of these.
The American Civil war presents
the unique spectacle of a conflict ar.
raging a whole nation in arms for
ideas-for principles SO firmly held
that both sides were ready to die for
them. 1t was the trial Of the issue
between conflicting ideas OF society
and government before the tribunal of
the God OF Battles.
It was waged on both sides with a
zeal born Of absolute conviction IN
the righteousness Of the cause. It was
waged until the victors had well-nigh
exterminated their opponents, as the
scars Of the south after nearly half
a century still bear witness. And it
was the final Civil war for the Ameri.
can people. They may disagree, and
d~isorderly factions may rise In arms.
But never again can they be so divid-
ed as they were then. In a furnace
heat that tested human will to the
limit Of endurance has been welded
their national unity.
The character of the conflict whose
glory and whose sorrow 1t recalls is
what makes our Memorial day a festi-
val unknown to other nations. On
this day we honor, as we should, the
memory of the brave In all the repub-
lies wars. But we also celebrate as
that which gives to the day its unique
and distinguishing significance and
that which sets us apart from all 9TH
err peoples the Great War that in very
deed truly made as we'll as saved the
American republic.

Lectures or Architecture" as being
"one of the earliest, if not the very
earliest, examples of the fully-devel,

In the medieval town of Dol the if
teenth century houses are rather ia
nous for their oddity. Situated on
the Rue st. jacques, their upper sto-
ries project far over the lower, and
are supported by stone pillars, the
matched roofs slope low over the
street, the rooms are mere holes,
blackened by squalor and constant
use. However, that does not at all
prevent their being occupied at the
present time, and the daily routine of
life continues quite as well within
their walls as between those of fresh
er and newer houses. Dol has also
a famous cathedral and one hotel.
And the hotel has a reputation of its
own. All the guide books state that
the best chocolate served in France
is to be had here.
The cathedral stands apart some
what isolated at the edge of the
town. It's most striking feature Is the
fifteenth century portal on the south
side, with the beautiful porch of Saint
Magloire. 1t is most unique in its
effect, IT'S massive arches are exquis-
itely carved, with designs in delicate
tracery over the doorway and about
the windows. Otherwise the exterior
is extremely simple, eve plain, and is
not enhanced by one of the towers be-
ing unfinished.
The somber gloom Of the interior
was lightened by dozens of candles
burning on the high altar. 1t was a
fete day, in whose honor the chapels
were decorated with gaudy artificial
flowers. The original stained glass
of the thirteenth century Is still IN
tact in a large window In the choir;
in one of the transepts is the tomb of
Bishop James, who died In 1903; un-
fortunately It's sculpturing is mutilated
and married and its statue by Jean
Juste. is lost.
One of the most beautiful inner
chapels Is built in honor of st. Sam
son, an English monk to whom the ca
thedral is dedicated. and who is said
to have crossed the channel and
founded a monastery on the site Of
Dol.

Chinese Educational puzzle.

It is generally recognized that China
has set to work at the wrong end OF
her education problem. . . China
has begun at the top, has tried to
establish universities without prepar-
ing students for them, and all the
lower rungs of the ladder are so
badly constructed that it is almost
impossible for the student to mount
by them.-National Review, Shanghai.

In forcing the famous Confederate re-

page In the stirring history of this
great battle is supplied by John Kel-
ley, ex-commander of Farragut post:
I'VE started the attack at daybreak,"
said MI. Kelley, in recalling the de-
cisive day. The resistance offered
by the Confederates was amazingly
stubborn. The proportion of fatalities
in the next few hours on both sides
was appalling. The fight went on
without interruption for five long
hours. Then came the retreat and
our decisive victory. We read about

of this sort was seen at Antietam.
when the break came it was all
m wild desperate scramble. In the
picture books the troops may retire
in regular column formation, with
every line straight and all the flags
flying, but in actual warfare it is very
different. Our fire was whitening, and
the C~onfederates ran for their lives.
We had come SO close together by the
end Of the five hours engagement that
In many places 1t amounted to a hand
to-hand conflict. The enemy ran,
jumping, stumbling over their dead
and the earthworks they had defended
a few hours before. And we followed
them so closely that in many places
the two lines intermingled. We ran
shouting, stumbling, over the rough
ground In a long struggling line, with
the careful alignment of our parades
all forgotten. 1t was a glorious vic
tory, but the field looked very little
like the conventional pictures of the
