coveted red rose.

first woman to spy it.
Not at all, madame" said Brady,
proudly, that is the American red
rose"
Then 1t is the American Beauty
said the lady, not to be outdone.
And then and there the name orig.
mated. and not all of Brady's storm
lest persuasions could ever dislodge
it. For the roses maker had already
decided that it should be named for
Judge Hagner, warm friend of Mr..
Bancroft. and Brady's bright particu-
lar star. and to have the choice of its
name and the christening ceremony
swept out of his reach at one fell
swoop would have tried the patience
of a saint
Brady finally made the best of it,
and contented himself with assuring
Judge Hagner that things would have
been different II he had had any say
in them.
From this time on, however, the his
tory of John Brady and his precious
rose begins to take a somber turn. Mr..
Bancroft died in 1891, bequeathing the
American Beauty to Brady as tesla
ment of his affection and appreciation.
The famous gardens passed into other
hands, and Brady moved. with his
large and hungry family and his

The schange of life is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as 1t draws near Is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion'of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense Of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread Of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation Of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities. constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.

New STAGE In lnebrIety,

Mr.. Borden has been telling an an
ecdote concerning two "brither
Scots" who used to foregather in a
dry district, each bringing with him
a portable spring Of comfort in the
shape of bottle Of whisky.
One of them was asked one day by
third party" whether the other,
Jack Anderson, did not get little
drunk sometimes.

on the eve of being able to announce
the success of his red rose ventures.
Once a friend from France brought
Mr.. Bancroft cutting of red rose
called Madame Ferdinand Jemain," +"
which, although it had failed at home,
was thought to have possibilities in
an American climate. Brady nursed
1t along with fair degree of conscien-
tlousness, none too pleased, likely
enough, that France had been SO pre-
mature in this honorable business.
But the little alien rose bush sickened
and died, and was thrown aside, pre-
sumably at the end of its history.
Then came the shocking news from
England that William Francis Ben
nett had won the red rose race He
had had an astonishing luck with his
plants. and had finally established
their hardihood and their permanence
of color. Bancroft and Brady mourn
ed in secret. True, there was still the
American championship to be tried
for. but the first fine careless rapture
of success had been already captured.
A rose culturist in New York had
the good fortune, about this time, to
make new flower. which he prompt
ly named the George Bancroft" but
this was not compensation enough.
either for the historian or his garden
er. So back they went to the Seeding
beds, with renewed determination.
In the face of such a touching faith
and such abounding energy. the fates
were bound to be kind And so, one
morning, delighted yell from his
gardener brought Mr.. Bancroft sour
rying into his garden, to find that In
bed Of white and yellow seedlings
there stood a strange red rose, look
ing for all the world as IL 1t had come
to stay. Its stem had a stiffness the
like of which had never before been
seen. Its petals looked to have the
hardihood to weather hundred dis
asters.
Where 1t had come from nobody
could find out. 1t might have been a
stalwart seed left from the scored

MAN," and 1t might have been just
that mysterious freak which the rose
culturist has come to take for granted
under the name of sport"
At any rate, there 1t was, and 1t re-
mained to be developed.
For It must be known at the outset
that getting single bloom is the least

1t was on one of these foriorn occ@

made haste to Field Brothers, and
sold them, one and all, for scarcely

When this was told to Brady. he
touched the hour of his supreme tribu-

years since then has the stupor which
came upon him lifted for long enough
for realization of his misery to sift
through
Matters went merrily with the rose

For Congress

After an experience Of several
years, advantageous positions upon
committees, and an extensive per-
sonal acquaintance, Congressman
Chas. H. Burke is especially well
equipped to represent this. the End,
Congressional district. His home is
at Pierre; he is one of the pioneers
of this section, in touch with all its
affairs since settlement in 1882. He
has been of considerable help to
Hand county by helping to keep q
town west of us on the map. He
helped to put the state capital al
Pierre. and Hand county almost
solidly voted for Pierre. He has
helped to locate an Indian school
there, a government building. etc.
Each time Congressman Burke
has been a candidate Hand county
mas given him a handsome majority
and it is safe to expect the same
result this year.

State Primaries

About the only interest created
locally up to this time in the politi.
cal field is over the national situa.
ton, and a few contests on state
officers. The county tickets are
scarcely mentioned, because there
are so few contests.
A fair forecast of the republican
result next Tuesday looks like a
Roosevelt victory, with Thomas
Sterling for senator, Frank Byrne
for governor. and Chas. H. Burke
for congress in this district, E. L.
for Lieut.. Governor.
On the democratic side it looks
like a very close race between
Champ Clark and Woodrow Wilson
for the national delegates, and be.
tween Wickham and johnson for
governor.

CROP CONDITIONS
IN S. OAK.

Pierre, May Estate Immigra-
ton Commissioner Deets has sent
out a letter to the banks over the
state. asking as to crop conditions
in the vicinity of the locations where
the queries have been made. He
has been receiving replies from all
sections of the state, and the gener-
al report is a condition ranging from
95 per cent UP to 100 pei cent. Not
only is the condition at the lest, but
a large increase in crop acreage is
reported.
The territory east of the Jim river
shows but small increase OF acreage
of small grain crops, but heavy in
crease in the corn acreage. West
of the Jim river an increase in wheat
is noted, but the heaviest increase
appears to be IN flax, oats, corn and
alfalfa, this increase in some local
tiles being placed as high IS three
hundred per cent for the locality
reporting. Every section reports
the crop condition as good as could
be asked. and most of them put
their estimate at "the best ever"
