ROY F. MARTIN.
Died, August 3lst, 1911, of typhoid
fever, Row F. Martin, son of Mr.. and
Mrs Christian Martin, of near the Red
House. The deceased was aged 26 years,
months and "A days.
The interment was made in the Red
House cemetery Sept Bird, in the pres
ence of about seven hundred people. He
was sick about five weeks and was con-
scious up to the time he died Just be-
fore death came he called the family to
his bedside and told them how he want
ed to be buried and made his own selec-
ton of pallbearers, who were Henry,
Earl, Carl and Owens, the brothers, and
Andy Miller and Schooler Clark, his
brothers-in-law. He requested that he
would like to be buried as near like his
brother Lester as possible. He SAID he
hoped that none of the rest would get
the fever. The funeral service was
conducted by Rev Manages, of Oakland,
and Rev Wade, of Eglon.
About nine years ago he joined the
Lutheran church at the Red House and
has been a faithful member ever since.
A precious one from US has gone,
a voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.

The loan his love had given,
And though the body slumber here
The soul is safe in heaven.

thanks to the many friends for their sym

constructed that they are in no way
affected by the ~unevenness Of the
roads.
"By placing the transmission on the
rear it gives us a three-point suspen-
sion on the rear system, so that none
of the working parts is affected in the
least by constant strain. Another adj
vantage is that it lowers the centre
Of gravity, making a a which is
much easier to handle on uneven roads
and at high speed. Take as an example
any one of the light cars with trans
missions on the front, and you will
hnd that 1t is nearly impossible to
hold the road under speed. Having the
centre of gravity low reduces the skid,
increasing wear of the tires.
Most motorists, no doubt, realize
that res On the tire is due greatly to
skidding and constant bouncing of the
rear axle. This weight being on the
back also old the rear axle close to
the ground, so that it does not ounce
on the surface as when placed in front.
THE Overland also has the dvan-
tage of nearly a straight line drive, as
in our construction we have a propeller
shaft which Is several inches longer
than that with the transmission placed
in front. We also overcome a great
deal of wear on the universal joints
and bearings of the propeller shaft, as
in our construction the propeller shaft
at all times revolves at the same speed
as the motor. In the other construc-
ton the propeller shaft is very often
revolving twelve to fifteen times faster
than the motor. this being due to the
lower gears in the transmission.
One realizes, Of course, hat in our
construction with propeller tube we
eliminate the use of one of the. uni
versal joints. Universal joints have al
ways given more or less trouble, owing
to lack of fabrication. and we believe
1t is quite a point to overcome half of
his trouble"

A PRACTICAL WIND L E

"Blasphemia" is the name of a wind
sled which has been built at Saranac.
N. Y, by three young men, who mount
ed a 42-horsepower, six-cyiinder, air
cooled Franklin motor on a sled of light
and resilient construction, and now
have a vehicle which has made sixty
and seventy miles an hour over the
Ice of the lake.
The propeller is like that of an aero
plane and Is back of the sleigh. The
ice thus far has not been the smooth
est, and the young men fully expect to
realize in the neighborhood of ninety
miles an hour when conditions are adj
v~antageoUs.
The idea of the sleigh originated with
H. Webb Hyde, of Boston, nj Carl
Palmer, and they, assisted by j. B.
Marvin. of Louisville, KY. built the
craft. 1t Is twenty-three feet long and
is of durable iron throughout. It's
lines are clean, the aim being to do
way with any continuance that would
interfere with speed.
The drive shaft runs from the motor
under the seat to the propeller at the
rear OF the sled. Steering Is throu h
the rear AS a matter of fact
the machine has two sets II runners
and two propellers. One set of runners
which are rounded are used when there
Is a firm layer of snow on the ice. The
other n are skatellke and are
used on glary ice. One propeller. seven
feet across, and with a small pitch. is
used when there is snow. The other
propeller is smaller and is used when
the ice is smooth.
The springs are semi-elliptic in front
and coil in back. The designers of the
sled believe the use of these springs
will enable them to make better speed
on rough Ice than they could with a
more rigidly constructed machine.
When necessary a wind shield can be
placed on the sled.
One day while travelling at more than
sixty miles an hour over Ice hat was
not as smooth as 1t might have been
the sled struck an extraordinarily
rough spot and skidded. It went up In
the air and before 1t touched the ice
again had jumped fifty feet, The occu-

Tho Papermaker's Mistake.

The discovery Of blotting paper
was the result Of an accident. Some
time in the last century an opera.
tive in mills in Berkshire omitted
to put the size into his pulp. When
the paper was rolled it was deemed
useless. and the unfortunate work
man received his congo. Some
DAYS afterWard. when they we're
about to throw the paper away.
some one discovered its power Of
absorption and tried it with some
written matter. The old sand box
which up to that time had been
used for driving ink was discarded.
and the workman was rcinstated
and rewarded for his negligence.
We may add that in comparatively
recent years millcrs in outaway
places sprinkled flour over their ac-
counts to dry the ink, but We sup
pose at this period the flour dredge
has gone the way of the sandbox.-

Falls Argue Leader. Dec. ~.

Sioux Falla Argue Leader. Dec. ~.
Never in its history has Dell Rapids
experienced such an AWAKENING as It
is undergoing in connection with The
union tabernacle meetings under the
direction Of Evangelist Bromley and
his stat of workers. whose labOrs are
so we'll known all over the state.
Scores have trOd the path to the
place of prayer and have taken their
stand for the Christian life. The
meeting is remarkable for the number
of men and young men who have been
converted.
a wonderful transformation has
taken place. People who were first
opposed TO the meeting and inclined
to criticiSe have become converts to-
the Bromley way Of doing things.
Sights are constantly occurring that
many never expected to see in the
neighborhood.
The special days and services have
had a salutary effect upon the com
munity. The Business Mems night,
High School night, Home night. Chill
dren's night. and the lectures to men
only and to women only are speclai
features OF the campaign.
The lectures to men only deserve
special mention. These addresses
have received the highest commenda-
ton everywhere they have been de-
livered, and Dell Rapids has been nc
exception. The three lectures to men
were well attended and enthusiasticaly
received, being pronounced the best,
most entertaining. Instructive. and
uplifting of any ever given in the
city.
The Evangelist and his workers
are certainly on to their work.
The greatest day of the series will
be Mother'S day, which is today. The
Evangelist will preach Il special ser
mon to mothers. The mayor has
issued a proclamation requesting the
business houses OF the city to be
closed two hours, from 80 to 1 II
the afternoon in Difference to the
occasion. Several hundred carna-
tions are to be presented to mothers
for whom a section OF the tabernacle
will be reserved.
A tremendous change ha, taher
place in local conditions. and the
meeting vii mean much not ONLY to the
religious side of the community but te
the cause Of civic righteousness a

The tide is now at its highest. The
EvangeliSts go next to Mllbank. ano

RAINBOW LAND.
A Bonnie Name and True For tho
Highlands Of Scotland.

The west highlands Of Scotland
may truly be called the home Of the
rainbow, saws a writer in the Lon
don Queen. for there YOU will see
them at any time Of the year, and
in no other part Of the world can
they be seen in more perfect form
and hue.
On a wild autumn day. with the
west or southwest wind blowing the
clouds up across the sun. have
seer one rainbow follow another
IN quick succession. 4 perfect arch
Of pal plating color becomes sud
denly visible and frames the blue
black mountains. which sit hunched
at the top Of the loch. gathering
the storms round their great shout
ders and hurting them down on to
the foam white waters. At other
times the bow shimmers across the
sullen sky with both its ends resting
on the water-a veritable gateway
into FARMLAND.
Even when the rainbovs are not
visible III this part Of the world it
seems as if they had spilled their
colors Oh the woods and hills. When
the clouds lift and the belated sun
shines over mountain and loch the
effect is almost as daZZlino as the
rainbow itself.
| In heather time the hills are wine
colored on their lower slopes. while
their tops are a deep indigo blue,
standing out in strong contrast to
the clear pale sky. Nearer at hand
there is every shade of color from
warm amethyst to the soft bloom Of
a purple plum.
Later in the wear the hills are
checkered with the pale gold Of ripe
grain. the red brown Of withered
heather, the rusty glow Of bracken
and the still vivid green Of pasture
| fields. while the trees show every
Imaginable shade of hot color and
seem to vie with each other in their
efforts to defy the approaching
gloom Of winter.
The waters Of the sea lochs. which
add so much to the beauty Of rain
bow land. are tinted with all the
shades Of blue. gray and green and
at sunset glow with colors which
rival the hues Of the rainbow. The
leaves fall and spread their bright
ness on the ground renorsefullv.
The passionate autumn rains awak-
en- the burns, which slept during
the summer, and the air is filled
with the hoarse cry Of many waters.
The dwellers in this rainbow land
fall into the habit Of looking up to
see il the arch Of color is visible,
and ever if it is not there the atti-
tude OF hope cannot fail to uplift,
and the consciousness that the rain
bow is not far off never quite leaves
them.

n HINDU FOOT.
It's Formation Makes It Almost as Use
full as a Hand.

Hlndus possess a curious ability
to use their feet and toes in various
industrial occupations. In the ma
tive quarters of many Indian towns
may be seen the strange spectacle
OF a butcher scizlng a piece Of meat
IN his hands and cutting it in two
with IL stroke Of his knife held be-
tween the first and second toes Of
his foot. The shoemaker uses no
last, but turns the unfinished shoe
with his feet while his hands are
busy in shaping it. SO the carpen-
ter holds With his great toe the
board he is cutting, and the wood
turner handles his tools as well
with his toes as with his fingers.
This use Of the feet TO assist the
hands IN their labor is not. however.
the mere result Of practice, but, as
the invest cations Of French scicn-
fists prove. j. principally due to the
fact that the Hindu foot is quite
different from ours in its anatom-
zeal conformation.
The ankle of the Hindu and the
articulation Of the back Of the foot
premit considerable lateral motion.
Then the toes possess a surprising
mobility. The great toe can be
moved freely in all directions. and
the first and second toes are sepa-
rated by a wide space. sometimes
as much as fvc-eighths Of an inch
across at the base Of the toes and
two inches at their cNtremitics.
The articulation Of the hip il also
peculiar. and this renders it easier
to use the toes in handling Objects
by enabling the Hindu to sit in a
squatting posture much more com-
fortublv than we can.
\ similar formation of the feet
and toes is found among the An
nAmcSc. but it is not. as might be
supposed, a common thing among
bnfDaroNS and savage tribes. 1T Is
not found, for instance. in the
South American Indian. the negro,
the fuegian or the Arab.
One naturally thinks Of the re-
scmbIancc to a monkey which a
human being using both hands and
feet in the manne described above
must present, and vet the French
Investigators are careful to point
out the fact that the Hindu foot is
not at all like the foot Of an ape or
monkey. The great toe is not
opposed to the other toes like a
thumb. as occurs with the monkey,
and accordingly the pedal dexteritv
Of the IIindus is not to be taken
as an indication Of simian descent.
