Springfield people received a te-
legram last Saturday evening all
vising them that the supreme
court has reversed the decision of
the circuit court in the Springfield
license case. This means that the
drys have won out and that Spring
field will be without saloons at
least until July /, 1918. The
South Dakota law provides that
when the license question is sub
mitted to the voters it must be on
a seperate ballot. The city audit
tor of Springfield made mistake
and submitted the question on the
same ballot with a school question.
Regardless of the fact that the
vets carried the town bys11 majo-
rity our courts have held that the
error on the part of the city audit
or has had the effect of disfran-
chising all the voters of Spring
field so far as the license question
is concerned.-James Broun, who

Thomas Jefferson Stone was a typ

had no teeth. his hair was gray, his
features sallow and withered, and he
looked siXty-three or siXty-four. He

forty-siX. There was a cowed, placid,
helpless air about him, and yet in his
eyes there was a fire-.faint and glim-
mering, the fire OF fading fanaticism

GUARD THEIR SHADOWS.
Native Africans Believe They Are q
Part of Themselves.

The shadow is the recognized portion
Of man among modern African peoples.
In West Africa the natives told DR..
Nassau that it was possible for hu-
man being to have his shadow stolen
OF otherwise lost and for him to exist
In n diseased or dying state. In this
case his body would cast no shadow.
The same authority says there is a
widespread belief among the natives
in dual soul. which consists of a spir-
1t which. as far as is known. lives for
ever in the world OF spirits, and
shadow. which for an uncertain length
of time hovers around the mortal re-
mains.
Here we seem to have confusion be-
tween the spirit body and the shadow
of man.
The shadow. according TO Miss Kings
ley. is one of the four souls OF man.
She noticed that men would march hap
PLY enough through the forest or grass
land on blazing morning, but when
they came to "A piece of open ground
they would go around it. not across 1t.
because they were afraid OF losing
their shadow. They only do this at
noontime.
On asking some Bakwiri why they
were not anxious about losing their
souls at night time. she was told that
at night all shadows lay down in the
shadow OF the great God and so be-
came stronger. Had she not noticed
how long and strong the shadows Of
men, trees and mountains were in the
morning? Murders are sometimes CON-
mitted secretly by driving a nail or
knife into a mans shadow. From DR..

THE DOCTORS RIDE.
And Why, After Awhile, He Had the
Car All to Himself.

ana why, NIter HWHho, TO ''ee ''o
Car All to Himself.
A doctor. according to the story, saw
late one night fine automobile halted
outside a cemetery. He hid behind a
tree. for he suspected that body snatch
ers were at work. and. sure enough. In
q few minutes he saw two ugly charac-
tiers stagger from the cemetery carry
ing a body. They placed it upright in
the automobile as though it were alive,
propping 1t securely in the back seat.
and then they hurried back to the
cemetery to fill the violated grave
again. The doctor in their absence lift
ed the body out of the automobile. hid
it under a hedge and took its place
himself.
Soon the scoundrels returned. One
seated himself at the wheel, and the
other fixed himself in the back seat be-
side the body. so as to support 1t. Then,
in the darkness. they glided Off. After
awhile the man in the rear seat said In
a rather awed tone. This body seems
mighty warm for corpse The chauf-
feur reached back his hand and touch
ed it. Don't 1t, though" he muttered,
between perplexity and fear Then the
corpse, in deep, sepulchral tones. ex-
claimed. Warm? OF course I'm warm.
And il you had been where I've been
for the last two days you'd be warm
too.'
With loud yels Of horror the body
snatchers leaped from the automobile
and fed. The doctor seized the wheel
and drove it home. He has it. they
say, still.-Exchange.

present system the divorce court dis

the child from whom the divorce
court has taken the natural home pro-

to reach those parents and compel
them to do their duty TO the child, to

In still another court.
Divorces are granted almost solely
for the convenience and comfort OF

ment, and the parents are responsible.
1.-The present tendency 10 pass laws
giving the juvenile court jurisdiction
over the parents and others who con-
tribute TO the child's delinquency, is
a step in the direction OF the domestic
court.
The same court which considers
the waywardness or the child should
hear the divorce case between the
parents which results in the child s
delinquency In other words. court
which has jurisdiction over the rela-
lions Of the parents to the child
should also have jurisdiction over
those relations of the parents to each
other which effect that childs well

The divorce court Is a big feeder
for the juvenile court. Under the
