Learn to be Short

Learn to be short. Long visits, long
stories, long sermons and long prayers
seldom profit those who have to do
with them. Life is short. Time is
short. Minutes are precious. Learn
to condense, abridge, and intensity.
We can endure many an ache and i'll if
it is soon over, while pleasures grow
insipid and man intolerant, if they are
protracted beyond the limits of reason
and convince. Learn to be short.
Lopp off branches; stick to the main
fact in your case. If you pray, ask
what you would receive and get through;
if you speak, tell your message and
then hold your peace. Boil down two
words into one, and three into two.
Learn to be short.

Church ia New Territory

The extension of church work in the
new country west Of the Missouri is
being carried on by the Methodists and
a novel dedication took place in Trip
county under the direction of the dis
trict superintendent Rev. w. S. Shep-
herd, of Mitchell.
Al the town of Dog Ear Lake the
settlers gathered to erect church,
but did not have means sufficient to
build one of modern character. They
thereupon resorted to the method of
the early settlers and built church of
sod. The men, with their plows,
turned over enough virgin soil to build
the walls of the church, and the build
ing was completed at cost of $500.
Rev. Mr.. Shepherd dedicated the
church and the people drove twenty
five ond thirty miles, bringing their
dinners. The song books were secured
in peculiar manner. The Sunday
school superintendent, learning of a
woman at Colone who wanted a pet
rattlesnake, found reptile and after
pulling its fangs out sold it to her for
81, and then bought the books for
dedication day.

that the journey, which included a

for the purpose of investigating the
feasibility of extending the railroad to

if such an important step was contem-
plated he replied: There is positively
nothing whatever in the rumor. No
extension of the sort is contemplated
at this time"

Hans Wants More Money

The state board Of charities and cor
rections has tenderd to Hans Ustrui
one time state superintendent Of
instruction, the position of head of the
state blind school at Gary, but up tc
the present he has not accepted the
appointment, and there are a few mat
tiers to be looked after before he will
take that place, if the reports which
fits this way are correct, and they
appear to be so. Back of this is q
story of the way the political game is
played behind the scenes. There is
more or less conflicting material in the
wash of the tide, but in the shifting it
appears that w. c. Cook, chairman of
the state committee, and also federal
appointee by the grace of Senator
Gamble, is anxious to garner votes for
the senator, and thought that Hans
Ustrud would be good man to help
along with the Scandinavian voters.
Then place to locate Hans was looked
into. The auditors Office showed that
out of the appropriation for salaries at
the blind asylum for the year ending
July l, 1910, there was nearly 81, 900
returned to the state treasury, after
the payment of thousand a year to
the present superintendent, Leila Curl.
That made an opening, and Hans $50 it
is alleged) was to have the place at
81, 800 year. The selection was made
without formally fixing the salary, and
then Governor Vessey learned of the
move, and put up vigorous protest
against using any of the state institu-
tons for paying political debts, demand
ing that such selection be made on
merit, and with a knowledge of the
needs of the institution affected. This
delayed matters and pressure began to
be placed which is said to have brought
a majority of the board to a position
that while they were ready to support
the selection of Ustrud, he must, if he
accepts, take the position on the salary
now paid, $85 a month. But that
phase of the matter is open u;til after
the meeting of the board at Gary the
first of September, when it will be
finally disposed or. While nothing def
nate as to just what the action of the
board will be at that meeting, can be
learned in advance, members say that
there will be no $l.800 salary with the
position If it is accepted by the former
superintendent, the general idea being
that he will not accept unless it is
increased. That appears to be the
situation up to the present, with the
future to develop just what the board
of charities and Hans Ustrud will do
with the situation.

Makes a Liberal Offer

Col. f. B. Ainsworth, of Minnekahta,
and prominent Mason, offers to donate
SIS, 600 to the Ancient Order of the
Mystic Shrine if the order will estab-
lish their national reserve in Fall River
county.
At the meeting of the shrine held at
Buffalo in June it was proposed and
practically decided to purchase 5000
acres of land at suitable location,
where the annual pilgrimage could he
made and where proper accommodations
and surroundings could always be at
hand for the festivities.
Colonel Ainsworth believes that the
Black Hills offers the only place in the
United States which combines the var
ious necessary features. In the Hills
there is fishing and game. large and
small, rivers, mountains and plains, a
perfect climate. 1t is accessible from
all parts of the country, and the neces-
sary land can be secured.
Colonel Ainsworth is known as the
land king in that section. He is the
only man there who possesses 5000
acres of land, and the railroad station
is located in the middle of the tract.
1t combines mountain and valley, pine
trees, alfalfa and grain, and has an
abundance of pure water and is but a
few miles from health resort. The
colonel is member of the Murat
shrine at Indianapolis, and has wide
acquaintance with members of the
order in Ohio as well as in the west.
