A SMALL P0X SCARE

During the past two weeks
considerable excitement has been
aroused throughout the town and
surrounding country over the
discovery of a few cases of small
pox, in Ekalaka. AS far as we
know the cases have been very
few, none of which showed
themselves to be of any serious
nature. It hardly seems prob
able that the disease is that of
genuine smallpox but if it is true
it is of a very light form. No
new cases have been reported
during the past week and it looks
now as if the scare was about
over. At the last session of the
state legislature a bill was passed
which considered small pox not a
case which should be quarantined
but the county health officer and
county attorney have decided
that all cases would be quaran-
tined, as has been done here. No
doubt within the next week ali
quarantine signs will be raised.

LIMIT ON HOMESTEAD

The interior department has
recently Interpreted a ruling
which may be Of interest to those
parties who have homesteads and
lots in towns or cities and may
desire TO acquire additional land
under the homestead laws.
The case in point was where
one Berg owned 100 acres of land
in South Dakota and also owned
a lot, SO by 142, in Bryant, S. D.
and attempted to hold an addit-
lonal l6O acres. A decision has
been rendered in his favor under
the maxim that the ownership
of less that one acre in excess Of
100 acres will not be held a dis
qualification to make homestead
entry
This decision has been over
ruled by the department, under
Section 2289 Revised Statutes,
which provide that, no person
who is the proprietor Of more
than l6O acres of land in any
state or territory shall acquire
any right under the homestead
law"
Consequently a man who owns
even a town lot in addition to 100
acres of land cannot hold a
United States Government home
stead.

presently changed to something deeper and
holier. for she seemed to see in each tear-drop
the clear, pure unsullied soul of a little child,
and she realized fully, for the first time, the
huge responsibility she was undertaking.
The responsibility that, surely, every mother
worthy of the name, realizes when she takes
IN her arms for the first time, the little, pure
helpless babe and realizes, too, that with her
lies, to q great extent, the power to make or
mar the character that hes hidden, like
closed book, in her baby's soul-that book
which she knows she must help, tenderly and
wisely, to open with the Golden Key OF
Love.
Then the Girl trembled as she murmured.

perhaps, the tears welled up into her eyes
and a big lump came into her throat, "per-

But clearly and sweety came the thrilling
voice OF the little Fairy, like the echo. Of a
