DEATH OF NEIL DEN MS.

The Hermosa correspondent of the
Rapid City Journal gives the following
account of the death of Neil Dennis:
A shadow of sadness and gloom was
cast over our town Monday evening
when word was received over the tele-
phone that Robert Miller had found
Neil Dennis lying dead in the road
about seven miles west of town and the
mail team which he was driving and
which probably ran away was standing
a little farther down the road entangled
in the harness and wire fence.
AS the word was sent along the line
several started for the scene of the acci-
dent. M. II. Ford and P. ]. Seirth were
the first from town, both going on horse
back. The Mills auto made a record
run soon arriving with load of Masons.
A careful investigation showed Neil had
come to his death from heart failure,
but as he was alone the circumstances
will never be fully known.
The body was carefully placed in the
auto and brought to town, where it was
taken to the Masonic hall, the Masons
taking all charge. Neil was one of our
oldest settlers, being cowboy here in
the early days. Funeral services we're
held in the Masonic hall Wednesday.
He was cheerful, happy old man and
was known and esteemed by host of
friends. He was carrying the mail from
Keystone to Hermosa, when the acci-
dent occurred.

June was the coolest month of roses
ever experienced in this latitude. Frost
and ice were as common as buttercups
usually are. Almost every green thing
was killed; all fruit was destroyed.
Snow fell ten inches deep in Vermont.
There was seven-inch fall in the in
terror of New York state and the same
in Massachusetts,. There were only a
few moderately warm days. Every
body looked, longed and waited for
warm weather, but warm weather did
not come.
cit was also veiy dry; very little rain
fell. All sumu,er long the wind blew
steadily from the north in blasts, laden
with snow and ice. Mothers knit socks
of double thickness for their children
and made thick mittens. Planting and
shivering were done together, and the
farmers who worked out their taxes on
the country roads wore overcoats and
mittens.
"a farmer near Tewksbury, VT, own
ed large field of corn. He built fires.
Nearly every night he and his men took
turns in keeping up the fire and watch
ing that the corn did not freeze. The
farmer was rewarded for his tireless Ia.
Dor by having the only crop of corn in
the region.
"July came in with snow and ice. On
the Fourth Of July ice as thick as win
dow glass formed throughout New Eng
land, New York and in some parts oi
Pennsylvania. Indian corn, which in
some parts of the east had struggled
through May and June, gave up, froze
and died.
''To the surprise of every body, August
proved the worst month of all. Almost
every green thing in this country and
Europe was blasted with frost. Snow
fell at Barnet, thirty miles from London,
England, on August 80. Newspapers re-
ceived from England stated that 1916
would be remembered by the existing
generation as the year in which there
was no summer. There was great pri-
walton, and thousands of persons would
have perished in this country had it not
been for the abundance of fish and wild
game"

A Cruel Joke.

A girl recently played cruel joke on
her mother, and this is how it hap
pened: She accidentally found love
letter that her father had written to her
mother in their halcyon days of court
ship. She read the letter to her mother,
substituting her own name and that of
her lover. The mother raved with anger
and stamped her foot in disgust, forbid
ing her daughter to have anything to do
with man who would write such nom
sensical stuff to girl. The girl then
gave the letter to her mother to tead,
and the house became suddenly so quiet
she could hear the snowfakes falling in
the back yard.-St. Louis Republic.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.
Results Somewhat Surprising---Roose
welt and Byrne Garry tho State
With Good Pluralities.

From present indications Roosevelt
has carried the State by about $4,000.
Byrns's plurality will probably be in
the neighborhood of 1900. Sterling is
elected to succeed Gamble. For Con-
gress, e. H. Dillon won in the first dis.
trict, e. H. Burke in the second, and E.
w. Martin in the third.
This county gave the Roosevelt dele
gates good plurality. Gull carried the
County by one majority. For county
candidates the Republican votes ranged
from So to 303.
The Democrat vote for National dele
gates was well scattered as the returns
below will show. For Governor E. S.
Johnson carried the County by 80 ma.
jority.
John Putnam for Sheriff lead the
county ticket, the votes ranging from 81
to 1859. Read the returns and max your
own comparisons.

S. Weir, in Argus-Leader: "Much
complaint is made in high places of the
discipline and moral training in Ameri-
can homes. The public schools are sup
posed to supply intellectual education
and religious instruction is commonly
left to the Sunday school, while the
home is content to administer only such
discipline as may be needed to prevent
disturbance of the family peace. For
character building the home should be
the most effective means but its influ.
ence is often really negative. Life is
complicated and home life is full of de-
tails and interests, many of them rela-
lively unimportant, and supervision, as
we'll as instruction, is crowded out. We
should follow the advice of Froebel and
live more with our children.

A proposition for securing agricultural
lands in National Forest Reserves has
been included in the Agricultural bill
by the conference committee. The pro.
vision calls for an appropriation of $685.
600. Representative Martin, of South
Dakota, originally introduced bill on
the proposition for $4,000. 1t later was
saddled to the Agricultural bill in the
Senate as an amendment, but the appro.
priation was reduced. Representative
Martin said that while the amendment
applied to all National Forest Reserves,
it was of special value to the Black Hills
Forest Reserve, which includes large
area of agricultural land. 1t will relieve
entrymen filing on agricultural lands
in National Forest Reserves the cost of
survey by private engineers. The sur
veys are to begin this summer under
the supervision of the Department of
Agriculture. 1t is estimated that an ap-
preparation for similar amount will be
made annually until such surveys shall
be completed,

Rural Mail Men to Act as Forest Guarc

fural ID all men TO hCt as FOreSL JuArQb.
More than 1000, 900 miles of roadw way
territory in comparatively sparsely set
tied sections of the country will be COW
cred daily by a forest fire preventive
force Of $1,000 men, as a result of an Or
der issued by Postmaster General Hitch
cock. These men are the rural and star
route mail carriers, who are directed to
cooperate with the forest rangers and
state fire wardens in every way pos
sible.
Last year forest fires destroyed ap-
proximately $50, 100000 worth ofproper-
ty. The Agricultural department has
been anxious to increase the efficiency
and strength of its forest fire preventive
service, and Postmaster General Hitch
cock has offered his departments as
sistance.
By the terms of Mr.. Hitchcock's order
the duty of the carriers in observing a
fire or any indications of a fire will be
to notify the nearest forest ranger or fire
warden.
Postmasters in or near national forest
reserves are also instructed Immediately
TO report forest fires.

In France the hours Of the day are
numbered from to 24-from midnight
to midnight-on all French railroads,
and in the postal and telegraphic SER
vices. Time tables for all the railroads
have been printed and instead of 5 p.
M. for instance, the number II is used,
while III p. m. becomes % o'clock, and
so on. Postmarks on all mail matter
will be similarly registered hereafter.
This will do away with the necessity for
the use of a. IN. and p. IN. 1t is believed
that the system will be generally adopted
in Paris and throughout France and the
demand for "twenty-four hour" clocks
is widespread.

VANCOUVER, B. C.
DEAR UNCLE GEORGE: Today the peo.
pie work for invited the girls that are
working for them to 60 to Stanley Park
for the day, so we took our lunch and
had fine time. 1t is on the English
Bay and is the largest Natural Park in
the world, and in it are some of the big
gest trees on the Coast. This is the
most peculiar town have ever been in,
outside of Victoria, B. q.
We left Everett, Wash, Thursday at
9:35 o'clock, and had very nice trip up
here. At White Rock, the Custom off
GERS got on the train. One went through
our baggage, the other asked something
like this, your name, where are you
from, where were you born, where are
you going, how long are you going to
stay, any friends or relatives, will they
meet you, how much money have your
l got through to their satisfaction as
we'll as my own, and my baggage was
marked with big "E", but l don't
know what that means.
All the street cars, autos, wagons, etc.,
go to the left; cars seem to be running
backward In passing people on the
street, keep 10 the left. Signs up on the
streets drive to the left" l got so
twisted the first day or two, trying to
get on a street car; can't understand
the conductors what they say half the
time, so don't know where to get on or
off.
They have only four pieces of silver
sc, l0c, 25c and Soc; the rest is in bills
from 81 up. A piece of gold-$5, $40 or
$40, is sight here as it is more valuable
than their money and they are glad to
get it.
There were lot of people in the Bay
bathing this morning. They can wade
such long ways before it begins to get
very deep. We girls are going in when
it gets little warmer; it was most too
cool today for US.
Room rent is very high. There are
lunch-rooms here and in Seattle, where
one can 60 in and get an order of coffee
and doughnuts for &c, or whatever you
want, and then take it to big chair
that has big wide arm or tray and eat.
That is about the only place we can cal
and not pay big price.
In several places have noticed the
British flag and the Stars and Stripes
crossed together over some doorways.
The post-men are dressed in black suits,
red belts around waists, collar and cuffs,
red stripes down the side of the trous
ers, red band on the caps. The fre-mer
are dressed as they are in the United
States. The policemen wear straps from
their helmets around over the chin
under the mouth. Everything is closed
here on Sunday. Not even a picture
show is open.
The women here do dress the mos
old-fashioned; they are not swell dress
ers, by any means. Really. the Custer
girls dress better.
Mr.. F. says we will go back to Seattle
after working Victoria, B. c. From
Seattle we will 60 to Portland and Sar
Francisco.

YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER.
In 1916 Winter Weather Prevailed
From May to September.

Danbury, Conn.,, News: The year
1915 was known throughout the United
States and Europe as the coldest ever
experienced by any person then living.
There are persons in northern New
York who have been in the habit of
keeping diaries for years, and it is from
the pages of an old diary begun in 1910,
and kept unbroken until 1910, that the
following information regarding this
year without summer has been taken {;
January was so mild that most per-
sons allowed their fires to 20 out and
did not burn wood except for cooking.
There were few cold days, but they
were very few. Most of the time the
air was warm and springlike. February
was not cold. Some days were colder
than any in January, but the weather
was about the same. March, from the
lst to 9th, was inclined to be windy. 1t
came in like a small lion and went out
like very innocent sheep. April came
in warm, but as the days grew longer
the air became colder, and by the lst of
May there was a temperature like that
of winter, with plenty of snow and ice.
In May the young buds were frozen
dead, ice formed an inch thick on ponds
and rivers, corn was killed and the corn
fields were planted again and again I'm
til it became too late to raise crop.
By the last of May in this climate the
trees are usually in leaf and birds and
flowers are plentiful. When the last of
May arrived in 1916 everything had
been killed by the cold.

Hl, sr,ns ot Fraud.

In the early days a famous lawyer In
Jackson county was Russell Hicks. He
had a faculty OF saying the most sar-
castle and cutting things. and he was
often retained In a case simply to
hurt the feelings and rattle. the law
yer ON the opposing side he was re-
tained for this purpose once in a land
suit The lawyer against him was
young man. and at the proper time
Hicks arose and began to abuse this
young lawyer. deneuneing both him
and his case together as a combined
fraud.
Now. Mr.. Hicks had a habit of dye
ing his hair, and upon this day he had
been out in the rain. and the dye had
become soaked or In spots, so that
the dye was plainly TO be seen by all.
When the young lawyer arose to
reply to the attack upon him he said:
Gentlemen OF the jury. this man
should be the last one on earth to talk
OF fraud. Look at his head. gentlemen.
See that hair. Every spear Of 1t is a
painted fraud
