BOTH ARE MERITORIOUs
BY "A. G. SATTEKLEE.

Blunt Advocate: 1t has been gener.
ally conceded since the opening of the
primary campaign that the excellent re-
cords made by Senator Dalton and Rep
resentative Quale in the last session of
the legislature should entitle them to a
denomination without question and with
out opposition. So thorough and strong
has been this feeling that several strong
possible candidates who under other
conditions would have been available
refused to become candidates when i'm
sportuned to do SO. Hughes county has
reason to feel proud Of its present legis-
lative delegation. Both men come into
prominence in the earliest work Of the
organization Of the two bodies Of the
legislation and their fitness and ability
1t once brought them recognition in the
way Of important committee appoint
ments. Throughout the session the
course Of their activities was such as
70 reflect credit upon themselves and
their constituents, and at the close they
had made the record of having accom-
plished the big and and important pieces
Of special work that we're put upon
thorn, items Of great moment to the dis
ltrict and state, in addition to being
prominent in routine work of the SEES
sion. Every texture of their work dur
ing their first term has tended to mark
their eminent qualifications for these
positions which they have filled with
dignity and honor and the Advocate is
of tho opinion that no appeal to faction
.alism will be able to overcome the pop
ularity Of the Daltsn-Quale legislative
team.

Printers throughout the country
have been advised of an advance of
10 per cent in the cost of all writing
paper. including bonds, fats, linens
and ledgers, to take effect on the 18th
inst. Along with the notification
comes a warning that an advance is
anticipated in the price of other
grades of paper. Increased cost of
labor and raw material is given IS
the cause, but of that no one can be-
come we'll satisfied. The advance is
arbitrary.

whether or not it was advisable to
have Colonel Roosevelt come into the

Leaving Huron, Mr.. Person was of
the opinion that the colonel should
visit this state prior to the primary
election and he will probably so adj

FlAndreau Herald: Vessey has got
into the fight at4Sioux Falls to boom
Byrns for governor. But he is not
telling about his land deals up around
Faulkton nor how he came to have
20 many quarter sectious of land at
tho present time. The governor
8should investigate Byrne's rotten
land record before be goes out and
gives him ! clean ticket Of admission
to honorable circles. Every voter in
hestats should investigate Byrne's
home record before he thinks Of vot-

IN years past Byrne took every
advantage possible. by foreclosure
and tax deed, to cheat his distressed
neighbor out Of his all. And that is
Why Egan Is certain to carry the

PINNED UNDER HUGE ROCK
Farmer Digs Hole to Bury Boulder

and It Sinks in on Him.
M. Raan. a Roberts county farmer,
resolved to get rid of huge boulder
on his farm that had long been an
eyesore. It was too large to remove,
SO he determined to bury it, and in
order to do so dug a large hole
alongside OF It.
Raan had the pit for the rock near
ly completed and was at the bottom
of the hole, finishing up, when he
heard noise and was Mortified to
discover the edge of the hole was
caving in and the rock was about to
topple over on top of him.
The man scrambled for safety, but
the rock caught both his legs beneath
it, pinning him fast He yelled for
help and in time the farmland en-
ployed by him heard his cries and
went to the rescue 1t was only after
strenuous efforts of the man and
some neighbors that the rock was
raised, after an automobile had been
hitched to it, so Raan could be re-
leased. Both of Rams legs were
severely bruised.

AbsoIutely Pure
NO ALUM, NO LIME PHOSPHATE

The reports coming in. in reference
to the contest, for governor, has served
to wildly brighten the manager for the
state machine candidate, Byrne. Mr..
Egan is growing in all sections of the
state, while Mr.. Byrne is making no
progress nowhere. Byrne has lost out
in all that portion of the state west of
the river; speakers have all been with
drawn from that section; and, the reck-
less spendthrifts are conducting losing
contest on the east side. His record
and the report of the state auditor, are
the two things that have blighted the
political career of High Tax Byrne.

SIMPLE LIFE OF GREAT POET
Milton's Declining Days Chiefly
Passed in Meditation and Study
According to Biographer.

An aged clergyman who had seen
him in his later years describes him as
seated in a small chamber hung with
rusty green, in an elbow chair, dress
ed in black; pale, but not cadaverous;
his hands and feet equity, and with
chalk-stones.
He used also to sit in a gray, warm
cloth seat at the door of his house
near Bunhill Fields in warm sunny
weather to enjoy the fresh air. And
so. as well as in his room, he receiv-
ed the visits of distinguished poets
as well as quality. He took little
wine. and was very simple in his diet
In early life he injured his sight
and his general health by night study,
subsequently he learned to get fair
nights rest, going to bed at nine and
arising in the summer at four, in the
winter at FIVE Should he not be dis
posed to rise at that hour. some one
commonly read to him. After rising
he listened to the reading of chapter
from the Hebrew Bible.
He then followed his studies until
midday. After brief outdoor exercise
he ,dined, then played on the organ or
sang. or requested his wife. who had
good voice. to sing to him. He then
resumed his mental occupations until
six. From six to eight he received
visitors.
Between eight and nine he took
supper of olives and some light food,
smoked his pipe of tobacco. drank his
glass of water and retired to rest. He
died somewhat suddenly, Of what is
called "gout struck in" lacking one
month of having completed his sixty
sixth year. He was buried beside his
father in the Church of St Giles. Grip
plegate.-From Vaughan's Biograph-
ical Sketch of Milton.

Did you ever realize that the old

parlor is going and the living room is
taking its place. Within the memory

Tor was room sacred against the en-

and it never was entered except when
the minister called or sister got mar
RED 1t was used for funerals, too
or when the president of the Ladies'
Aid society called. But at all other
times it was like closed vault, and
unhappy the youngster who ventured
to break into its sacred precincts. 1t
was cold There was no fire in the
room Canvas covered the furniture
and on the walls were a few pictures
of dead relatives and a motto or two
Now this is all gone. We now live
all over the house We have a living
room, and anybody who calls comes
into that room, and If he does not ike
1t he can leave. But he does like it,
simply because it is cheerful and
homelike. 1t has a fireplace, and
chairs are scattered about in reckless
abandon. The whole room is invit-
ing, and best of all the children do not
stand in dread of it.
Modern life, while demanding more
eonveniences, tends more to ease and
comfort We hold the old things in all
due respect and reverence, but the
fact should be remembered that each
age lives in accordance with the
light it has; and the old parlor was
deemed by our ancestors the best that
could be attained in the home.
