Didn't Mako Pat swocn.

To illustrate the ever-ready wit of
the Irish the following story was told
at a banquet held recently in the Com
mercial club:
An Irishnan on his way home at
night was in the habit o. cutting
through a cemetery in order to Short
en- the distance. A group of his friends
evolved a scheme to have some fun at
his expense. Accordingly they found
a sunken grave across which his path
lay, dug it out and covered it with
boards in such a manner that he must
fall into the yawning cavity.
The Irishman came along and every
thing happened as per schedule. While
he was still squirming about in the
bottom of the hole, striving to extri-
cate himself, three or four of his
friends, attired in white sheets and
other shostly accouterments, suddenly
made their appearance. Pat was
frightened out of his wits and almost
tainted when one of them said:
What are you doing in my grave ?''
The tone was scpulchral 1t made
the Irishman's hair stand elmost on
end, but he could not forego a witty
retort.
Faith, and what are yo" doing out
of it:" he asked.

The robins sing. the river flows,
The leaves are just as green;
But ali! but all! my heart, God knows
Is not as it has been.
Kind faces smiles through cheerful
tears,
Kind voices murnur round,
And hands, far sundcred all these
years,
The warm old clasp have found.
-gain my yearning steps have strayed
Back to the dear old spot;
But where the mates that with me
played?
l seek them and find them not.
The boy, SO thoughtless, free and bold
Plays in the world his part;
The childish heart I knew of old
Is now a woman's heart.
The breeze blows keen, the sun shines
on,
The waves rush up the shore;
But ah! but ah! old times are gone,
And home is home no more
1t matters not. We are to fain
To nestle here below,
Until the harsh winds and the rain
Arouse us. Better so!
Dear pious hearts, may my place be
Near yours in the dark dell
Where on the Judges lips We'll see
"Wclcome!"
But nOw-fareWell!

Mother,

Mother.
AS oft laid in twilight gray,
My tired head upon thy knee;
So would l gladly come each day.
And tell my sorrows all to thee,
To feel thy touch upon the hair,
That long hath worn the silver hue:
But still the old-time need is there.
For thy dear love dcathless, true,
Mother, mothcr-canst thou know
The long, lone hours of toll and care
Till day by day l miss thee so,
When comes the time for evening
prayer?
Come once again: just as of old,
Bringing the softly shaded light;
The counterpart about me fold
And kiss thy boy good night, good
night.

MuddIes State Politics.

Formation Of third party ticket
by Colonel Roosevelt placed South
Dakota in peculiar position and
leaves a chance for some speculation,
particularly on the senatorial ques-
ton. The state went overwhelmingly
for Roosevelt in the primaries from
governor down. Nearly all the nom
inees on the Republican ticket are
Roosevelt men and each will be
obliged to declare himself, with the
strong probability that most of them
will declare for the Roosevelt ticket,
Including Sterling for senator This
leaves the Republican ticket with no
actual nominees and gives Senator
Gamble, who was beaten by Sterling,
q good chance to go before the next
legislature as the Republican candi-
date. CANDLES friends profess to see
. good chance for his election in this
manner.

STATE FIRE MARSHAL OUT
Official Resigns Because Rich Men
Failed to Pay Judgment.

Failed to Pay Judgment.
F. A. Craft, state fire marshal, has
sent his resignation to o. S. Basford
commissioner OF insurance, who has
made the appointment Of Mr.. Craft
for the past four years. Mr.. Craft
says his resignation comes at this
time because of the failure Of the
South Dakota Fire Prevention asso-
citation to make good the promise it
made last winter to pay the judgment
secured by a man named Lamotte in
the federal court, which amounted to
$500. including the costs.
When the association was organ
lied last winter it is said an agree
ment was made that if Craft would
retain his position and not resign, as
he intended to do at that time, the
association would pay the judgment
and costs. At the annual meeting of
the association at Big Stone two
weeks ago only a portion of this
money had been subscribed by the
members, who are the special agents
for fire insurance companies in the
state.
Craft was sued by Lamotte for
false imprisonment in connection with
the Pittsinberger case in Moody
county, when the sheriff of that coun-
ty arrested Lamotte in another coun-
ty without first having his warrant
certified to in that county, and then
turning his prisoner over to Craft for
safekeeping over night in Moody
county. The court held that the pris-
oner was falsely detained and was
entitled to $500 damages and costs.
Crafts resignation will take effect on
July l.
