The Girl Who Wasn't Wanted.
II any one wronged George, defraud-
ed him Of money or credit, he was al
ways ready to forgive, agreeing that
perhaps half the fault had been his.
This was not sign Of weakness, but
of a sense Of justice too well leavened
with mercy. Humanity errs in the one
as much as in the other, doubtless
with some benign purpose in perspec-
tive. Now, it might be that this charm
ing woman had really never received
his letter; such things have been
known to go astray. In any case he
could not say that he had written.
That would have cast a doubt upon
her word, an objectionable rudeness.
So, for her very beauty alone, he gave
her the full benefit of the doubt.
"You mustn't let the matter trouble
you in the least" he said, his helm ct
now nicely adjusted under his arm.

without more ado, he went on to ex-

Temptation then no longer at his

qualms, little chaps, who started buzz
kng into his moral ears with all that
naddening, interminable drone which
makes one marvel however do school
teachers survive their first terms.
Among these qualms there was none

"You live in New York;" with mild
interest. The Major sat down and
graciously motioned for George to do
the same. II used to live there; twen-
ty-odd years ago. But European travel
spoils America; the rush there, the
hurry, the clamor. Over here they

difference between those two perform
ances as there is between The Mikado
and Florodora. From Portland in

George agreed conditionally. fThe
Major wasn't very original In hts
views.) He would have shed his last
drop Of blood for his native land, but
he was honest in acknowledging her
faults.
Conversation idied in various chan
nels, and finally became anchored at
jewels. Here the Major was at home,
and he loved emeralds above all 9TH
er stones. He proved to be an engag-
ing old fellow, had circled the globe
three or four times, and had had an
adventure or two worth recounting.
And when he incidentally mentioned
his niece, George wanted to shake his
hand.
Would Mr.. Jones Join him with q

would. And after a mutual health,
George automatically excused himself,

the reckoning, and went back upstairs

said the shorter Of the two men,

Residents Of zIebach, Dewey and Arm

Pierre.-The effort to cut the coun-
ties OF Dewey and Ziebach with the
unorganized territory known as Arm
strong county, into three counties tot
different boundaries will fail In the
present move. On inquiry as TO their
powers by the states attorney Of
Dewey county. Attorney General John
son holds that the present petitions as
shown by the records filed by him do
rot indicate the same boundaries I'm
the petitions being circulated In the
two different counties: that the petit
tons are not properly verified: and
that the law does not give Dewey and
Ziebach county voters power to at
tempt to change the boundaries Of the
county OF Armstrong, such action only
being in the province of the legjsla-
ture. With these findings he holds
that they cannot legally proceed on
their plan of division. This will be a
blow to ambitious county seat towns,
but IL is up to them to get action in
the next legislative session, and they
will no doubt have representatives on
the ground.

State Fair information.

Huron.-Entries in the Hereford,
Aberdeen-Angus, Shorthorn and Hol-
stein classes at the South Dakota state
fair have now assumed such proper
tons that 1t is safe to predict the
largest showing OF fine cattle in the
entire west. The increasing reserva-
tons for pens and entries in the swine
department will make II necessary
TO erect two additional barns to care
for the enormous exhibits. A feature
worthy Of mention will be an exhibit
OF mulefoot hogs by ]. c. Fargo. OF
Redfield. II Is especially gratifying TO
note that the heaviest entries for
swine exhibits r by people residing
within the state of South Dakota. The
poultry department also expects to
have all exhibition space filled with
classy birds. A. Carey, of Spilsbery,
England. the worlds largest breeder
of O%rpingtons and F~avorelles. has ap-
piled for entry blanks and will prob
ably make the state fair of South Da.
kota this year.
So many counties have now signed
for exhibition space that the state fai.
board must build an addition TO the
agricultural hall in order TO accom-.
modate all.
