A modest lady, standing inside Of
an equally modest home, looking out
through the window at two lily clad
urchins playing in the streets of HUI
ron, felt her heart moved in their
behalf. They We're really good boys
diamonds in The rough-but they
needed an educational polish to
make them shine.
That evening, when her husband
came home, she said 10 him:
Husband, those two boys that
play around here calling them by
their names) are good hearted lads,
ana / believe, if they We're sent away
to school. that they would each be-
come brilliant men, Don't YOU sup
pose that We could help them? /
wish YOU would give me a check for
each of them
The two checks were written levi

and the next day two boys, enthus-
ed with that courage which springs
from having for ones neighbor a
good Samaritan, boarded a train for
Chicago where they entered school.
Their money was soon gone. One
of the boys wrote back to their ben

MUST REGISTER NOW
FOR ALL ELECTIONS
LAW REQUIRES NAMES TO BE
RECORDED For CITY AND
TOWN VOTING PURPOSES.

Aberdeen, S. D.-Hereafter regis
tration of voters will be necessary in
South Dakota at all elections held
in cities and incorporated towns,
the same as has been required,
heretofore, only at state elections.
In cities the board of registration
consists of the mayor, auditor and
treasurer: in towns and villages the
board consists of the chairman of
the board of trustees, clerk and audi
tor. In cities of the first and second
class, a separate board may be APP
pointed for each voting precinct. The
law provides that the registrat on
board shall meet on Tuesday, two
weeks preceding any annual city or
towb election, at the usual place Of
meeting of the city council, at the
hour of o'clock, and continue in ses-
sion until 6 o'clock.
The manner of correcting the lists
adding names thereto and striking
names therefrom, is much the same
as under the law for state elections.
Voters who are lot registered MAY
vot at the elections by submitting
affidavit as to residence and other
qualifications, such affidavit to be cor.
roborated by two other witnesses
Another new provision of the law is
that at such elections the poll book:
must show the residence of the vot
er by street and number, and mus
istered prior to voting.

Pierre, S. D.-The report of the

the number of deaths over the pre-

number of births, for the first time
indicating a decline in population

Strange Garden Creations.

American gardens that even cover not
few American yerandas, staring

TO support sky-scraper, are supposed
to have derived their origin, writes II.
G. Dwight, in the Atlantic Monthly
Magazine. In some Of the greatest
Italian gardens the pergolas are made
Of slender unplaned poles fastened to-
gether by withes, which are invisible
under the vines that cover them.
The nakedness OF American pergo-
las has sometimes been explained to
me by the fact that grapevines must
be cut down every year In order to
bear well. What of It? The vine ex-
lists for the pergola. not the pergola
for the vine.
Even In countries 80 poor as Greece
and Turkey thousands of vines are
grown simply for their shade and
beauty. II We called pergola a trel-

OPERATE BOAT BY WIRELESS
At Recent Exhibition Vessel Was Con
trolled by ManlpuIator Of Meehan-
Ism on River Bank.

There was exhibited on the Danube.
at Vienna, recently. boat which is
controlled by wireless electricity from
the bank, without any person being on
board.
The boat carries a storage battery
which furnishes its motive power. the
system" or invention consisting In
the adaptation of wireless electrle
waves of different lengths to the con-
troll of the motive power, steering
gear and other mechanism. This sys-

sphere Of influence.
At a recent exhibition the boat was
manifesIy operated without other con-
troll than that exercised by the manip-
ulator of the wireless mechanism on
the bank. 1t moved forward and back,
turned right and left, described hg-
ures, was guided to definite points,
rang bells, exhibited flags and Lights

The mechanism Is, however, far
from perfect; the speed is not great,

KEEPS HEAT FROM ESCAPING
Electric Water Tank, Latest Device TO
Be Placed on Market, Surrounded
by Insulation.

An electric water tank heater, in
which the water Is kept hot day and
night, is one of the latest electrical
devices to be placed on the market.
The tank proper, is an ordinary gal
vanized iron hot water tank. holding
40 gallons. Surrounding this is heat
insulating material about three inches
thick, encased In a metal shell. This
prevents the loss of the electrically
generated heat, which is thus stored
in the water.
The heating unit is placed inside OF
a flow pipe, in the tank. 1t consumes
half unit Of electricity an hour. and Is
operated the full "a hours in day.
Every morning the 40-gallon tank
is full of piping hot water, brought
to the high temperature over night
This hot water may be used during
the day for household purposes, baths
and In the lavatory.

Gen. Booth and the Submerged
Tenth.

Sweeping statements are to be
avoided at all times, but it is we'll
within the truth to say that the late
General William Booth was one of
the few men in the last nineteen hun
dred years who have lived up to their
profession of following the teachings
of Jesus. 1t is permitted one TO
doubt whether his methods we're al
ways perfect; it is very easy to pick
some flaws in his military adminis-
ton, but when all is said and done,
William Booth has done work such
ms few men have ever attempted, and
he succeeded when failure alone was
predicted,
st. Francis, of Assist. John Wesley
aud William Booth are names which
are inevitably associated. although
each worked along original lines. st.
Francis aroused the slumbering spir.
ituality of the Middle Ages, John
Wesley brought religion home to the
people of the Anglo-SaXou race at
time when it had degenerated into
Journalism. But William Booth did
more, He tried to seek and save
those who wero lost-so lost as to
have forfeited all claims on so-called
society. The derelicts, the impover-
ished, the drunken, the Incompetent
all of that great body which in Eng
land was termed the Submerged
Tenth came under the special care of
the Salvation Army, which MIR. Booth
formed when he discovered that or
ganlzation alone could accomplish h
his purposes

difference occurred between the Gem

in America. This led to split aud

vation Army. General Booth was a
combination of the ancient partriach,
military despot and the devoted
monk of the Middle Ages. He ac-
complished an enormous amount of
good at time when despair was set
Ting down upon unnumbered thous-
ands. His methods were not those of
refined society, Many persons have
expressed contempt or disapprobation
of his methods, bnt such have little
knowledge of the great work he per-
formed
In his personality at times General
Booth seemed more like sheik of
the desert than modern clergyman,
but none can deny him utter devotion
10 his cause, his large abilities and
his unlimited sacrifices for those who
most needed help. His epitaph might
well be that of the Scriptures: "Bless-
ed are the dead who die in the Lord /;
yea. saith the Spirit, that they may
rest from all their labors and their
works do follow them"

The Home Newspaper.
From the Bristol, Pa, Gazette.

From the Bristol, Pa, Gazette.
A writer in one of the metropolitan
newspapers rather loosely refers to
the locals in country paper with the
pompous fina'ity, "They would never
find their way into the columns of
metropolitan journal"
And why not pray? The news col
umns of the great metropolitan jour
nails are filled with just such stuff as
appears in the county paper every
day leveled, of course, by the position
and wealth Of the individual aud COM
munity so singleized for special men
ton.
The news columns Of the great me-
tropolitans are only the natural eyo-
luton developed by greater COM
mel cialism and individual distinction,
in proportion to the community.
The person mentioned in the coun-
try daily is of rs much importance in
his community as the captains OF in
dustry in their larger spheres. And
certainly they are of more solid worth
to the world at large than flighty act
resses and chorus girls. men of the
Thaw type, women of the Gaby
Deslys pattern, and others of less
note, made conspicuous wholly by
the exploiting in those great metro.
poitan journals.
The average country newspaper is
in the main accurate. How much
can be said along those lines of many
of the great metropolitan papers2
The country publisher and editor is
not looked upon as purchasable
commodity.
The country newspaper, says II
Massachusetts exchange, does not
hammer away for time at some par
ticular branch of legal or even ques-
tionable character until the men en-
gagged i'll the latter enterprise, at
least, come across with the necessary
advertising sop and then the "great
wrongs" inflicted upon the public by
"this terrible scourge," this "oppress-
or of tho people" are dropped and
forgotten, as though they were
dreams.
The country newspaper is just AS
useful in it's sphere, as the great me-
tropoliian daily.
The former Mt all times can be car
ried into the home, without being
censored.
The great metropolitan dailies hay e
their particular field also.
But if picturing aud special featur-
ing "monkey dinner" or "dog
breakfast" is accepted as the standard
of advancement and high browedness
of the metropolitan daily, then the
country newspaper has nothing tt
learn in the way of giving better ant
more desirable service TO its clientele
