LEGAL CharQes.

The Judge-You say you don't get
your alimony?
The Complainant don't get it all,
your honor. It's only five dollars a
week; and I need every cent of it.
The Judge-And what is the reason
you get only part of the amount?
The Complainant-It's because my
former husband sends it to me by
lawyer; and the lawyer charges me
car fare, brokerage, transportation
and time-and that leaves only 80
cents.

Montana Range Cattle Attain Recort
High Mark in Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 22.--An unprecedented
high price paid here for range cattle
has called attention to condition
which stockmen say has been growing
more and more disturbing for some
time. They say it threatens to make
a low price of meat an impossibility
for the future unless met by activity
among corn belt stockmen.
F. M. Heinrich, of Lodge Grass,
Mont, was paid $3.50 per hundred
pounds for 20 head of cattle that had
never eaten other than the grass Of
the open range, price never before
attained on the Chicago cattle market
for range stock. The previous high
price was $3.50, paid in October, 1908,
to another Montana stock raiser.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.

Bookings People Know How
to Save II.

Many Brookings people take their
lives in their hands by ~neglecting the
kidneys when they know these or
gans need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of sui
fering and ill health-the slightest de-
lay Is dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney
Pills-a remedy that has cured thou
sands of kidney sufferers. Here is a
Brookings citizens recommendation.
r. II. Anderson, blacksmith, Sec
ond St, Brookings, S. Oak, says: Il
have taken Doan's Kidney Pills and
can recommend them as an excellent
kidney medicine. Ny work brings a
constant strain on my back and
caused my kidneys to become weak
and d~isordered. There was stiffness
and lameness Gro my back and
l had sharp pains in my kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills have failed
to relieve me and / therefore con-
slider them worthy of the highest en-
~dOrsement."

CHAPTER Ill.
THE ROAD TO POWER.

lure of politics had caught
Bob. From the night of his
fight with Haggin he began
to take the game seriously,
devOting much time and work to the
perfection of his organization. A few
months later the new field suddenly
opened wider before him. An era OF
reform" was impending.
Now, the Steel City was ruled by
what was popularity and appropriately
denominated the hog combine a
group Of gentlemen headed and herd
ed by Steele and Harmon. voluntarily
associated to relieve the public of the
burden of government.
While Steele. a born political strate-
gist and a man Of magnetic PERSONAL
ty, the heart and brains of the organ
i~zation. lived the machine found
smooth sailing. But the combine"
fell upon hard times. Steele died, and
the leadership devolved upon Harmon.
Harmon possessed none of the per-
sonai magnetism that had made
Steele's critics love the man while
they hated his misdeeds; also he lack
ed the sagacity and caution Of the
dead leader. So the machine was al
lowed to fall into excuses that Steele
never would have permitted. The
Tenderloin ran openly and t1agrantly.
A big boodling escapade in the halls
Of the city fathers came to light. Ger
tain public contracts were let with
such incautious unfairness that MUIR
murs of discomfort began to be heard.
ALI this might have had no important
results Of itself. But to cap the climax
Harmon. to satisfy a long cherished
dislike. dismissed Macpherson from
the directorate Of public works.
Macpherson was a Ratchet faced.
saturnine votary Of Mammon; also
there was enough Of the Indian in him
to make revenge for all anronts a ne
cessity. He accepted bis dismissal
with apparent equanimity and institut-
ed a campaign to destroy his enemy.
A sturdy little band Of reformers that
had fought long but fruitlessly to over
throw Steele's d~efenses suddenly and
mysterously took a new lease on life.
Macpherson bought q morning and
an evening newspaper. Sensational ex-
posures followed startling revelations
with great effect. The city began to
stir uneasily. One day Macpherson
called a few men into his Office.
"Gentlemen." said be. let US reform

Before he descended to the street-
MacPherson's office was on the top
floor of an eight story building, the
skyscraper of those days-he stopped
to look out through the corridor win

Of the half million two men were
