COUNTESS AS STREET SWEEP
Young German Noblewoman Inspired
Her countrymen to Freedom by
Display Of Eprtltude.

Julie NJ. Lippmann tells a story OF
the Thirty Years war in st. Nicholas,
under the title OF THE Street Sweep.
er."NThe author says:
Now Mainz Is one OF the strongest
f%ortresees in Germany; but, neyerthe.
less, during the Thirty Years. war 1t
was occupied by the French, who laid
the country waste and ruled over the
land with all the harshness Of in.
yaders. There seemed no hope OF es-
Gaping from their tyranny, for the mon
who had fought and lost were dis.
couraged, and had no further heart for
resistance. So matters went from bad
to worse until. one day, the beautiful
young countess OF Stein summoned all
the sweetest and best maidens OF the
city into her presence, and urged them
10 make a solemn vow that they would
neither wed nor listen to a word OF
wooing until their country was en-
tirely free.
As you may believe, the news OF
this league made a great stir; for men
who have lost their courage In war.
and men who have lost their hearts in
love. are very different beings. The
Frenchmen saw very soon that the
young Germans were showing signs
Of rebellion. and 30 they determined
to wreak their vengeance on the
countess. They took her prisoner,
dragged her through the city, and at
last thrust a broom into her hand. and

and echoed her prayer-"God bless

And God did bless It; for the sight
of their noble young countess at her
task put the men on their mettle, and
they turned on the Frenchmen and
fought with SUCH will that It was
not long before there was not one left
in the land, and they had indeed swept
the country quite clear OF every foe.

GETS VERDICT
Girl From South Dakota Was Award.
ed Damages.

New York, March 8.-Henrietta
French, South Dakota girl, was
awarded verdict Of SlO, 600 by q jury
in the supreme court for the alleged
breach Of David H. Deckers' promise
to marry her. Decker Is wealthy
young civil enginee- of this city. On
motion of his counsel that the verdict
be set aside, Justice Erlanger agreed
that 1t appeared to be sympathetic
verdict, without justification. "Not
a dollar Of damages has been shown"
said the court, ''except that naturally
arising from an alleged breach. 1
will take briefs on the question OF a
reduction of the verdict, which l
regard as entirely disproportionate." "
Miss French Is a former resident
of Pierre and Mr.. Decker Is brother
Of Henry Decker, acivil engineer who
was employed on the Pierre & Rapid
City line during its construction and
was himself working at the camps in
the commissary department at that
time. He was in Pierre more or less
during this period, Henry Decker
making his home here, and here
David made Miss French's acqualnt-
ance. His father, who was well.to-
do New Yorker, recently died, leaving
considerable sum of money to the
sons.

trade and reduce the cost of living.
Then the very people who had been
crying most loudly for a lower
tariff sent up a howl of protest
because the proposed downward
revision touched some of the
things they were interested in.
The agreement was so strong in
the house that it passed early and
by an overwhelming vote. 1t was
strong enough to pass in the senate,
but the senators who opposed it
would not let it come to a vote.
President Taft made it clear that
unless the treaty was voted upon
in the senate, he would call con-
gress in extra session. The senate
did not act and Taft has done what
he said he would do-and there is
to be an extra session, with q
settlement of the question, one
way or the other-undoubted
favorable to reciprocity.
1t has taken two years for Presi-
dent Taft to develop into a real
leader of his party, but he is there
that there can not b, the
slightest doubt. t.-Argus Leader.

Conditions are Different Now

A farmer who has been living
on a claim near Quinn for a year
or two past, in speaking of the
rapid settlement of the country
and the prospects for successful
farming, says there is quite a con-
trast between the first settlers in
the country east of the river and
those who are now taking up the
lands ON the west side. The east
side was filled with people when
the lands could be taken under the
homestead, preemption and timber
cult Ire laws. The requirement as
to settlement, improvement and
cultivation were much less onerous
than now, and people of all kinds,
conditions and callings in life were
attracted in the intention of secur-
ing land, not for the purpose of
making homes or of tilling the
soil, but in order to make what
they expected would be quick and
easy money. The great majority
were anything rather than farmers,
and it has required the second
settlers to be really beneficial to
the country and develop its posi-
bilities. This will not be true in
so great measure of the west
Missouri country, where very
large percentage of the settlers are
farmers from Iowa, Minnesota,
Nebraska and the eastern parts of
North and South Dakota. They
have sold lands for good prices
and are moving out where their
money will enable them to secure
a larger &C 'eage and where their
children may have an opportunity

Taft, The Leader

Six months ago President Taft
was distinctly unpopular in the
United States. He was criticised
for lack of leadership. He was
called a trailer. 1t was said that
he was too easy and good natured,
and it was doubted whether he
could win a denomination.
Now, it is all changed. Almost
in the twinkling of an eye, the
easy-going, smiling, altrusistic
president has become real politi-
cal leader, saying yes and no,
declaring policies, making congress
jump hurdles, and, in a quiet and
unostenatious way, but withal with
determination and fixed purpose,
getting things done, and over
coming obstacles which seemed
insurmountable. No one now
believes it is possible to defeat
Taft for the republican nomination
next year, and those who do not
fancy his leadership, will have no
choice except to 90 democratic.
The insurgents of this state still
think they are fighting Taft, and
indeed they may get the South
Dakota delegation away from him,
but Taft will be renominated, and
the party in this state, if it con-
tinues under present leadership,
will fall outside the ramparts.
It was in the matter of Canadian
reciprocity that Taft showed his
real capacity for leadership. In
the last election, the American
people declared for q revision of
the tariff downward, and also ex-
pressed their conviction that the
republicans have not kept faith
with the people when the Payne
Aldrich tariff law was passed.
