EARLY PRINTING PRESS

In ship which came from Spain to
the golden land of Mexico in the early
part of the sixteenth century there was
slowed away with other products of
civilization printing press. This press
was set up under the direction of Men
doza and The first book printed on it, in
1892, was the Spiritual Ladder of st.
John Climacus. This book was the
first one to be printed in the new world.
Other printing presses were brought to
the new world by the Spaniards, and on
one press which they set up in Peru six
hooks were printed. A hundred years
passed by before the English ventured
into the field of print in England. This
was when Stephen Daye, in 1859, pub
lished the Freeman's Oath at Cam
bridge. Mass, together with an alma
nae. A year after this first effort on
the part Of the English colonlsts the
Bay Psalm Book was issued, whichis SO
rare that copy is worth it's weight in
gold. The Cambridge Press which Isl
sued the Psalm Book, thereafter turned
out one book year for twenty zone
years, a trifiing production, but quite
sufficient TO meet the demands of the

COLONEL TO VISIT DAKOTA

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 13.-It now
has been definitely determined, as
the result of invitations extended by
friends III Sioux Falls, that Theodore
Roosevelt will cong to Sioux Falls
and South Dakota and make person
al fight for the ten delegates who will
spend one day in South Dakota-the
list of Jupe--an while in the state
will make an address in Sioux Falls,
in Mitchell aud possibly in Aberdeen.
The coming of Col. Roosevelt to
the state is believed to make it certain
that President Taft and Senator La
Toilette also will visit and make ad,
dresses in South Dakota, and thus
make fight for the ten delegates
from this state. Although the South
Dakota primaries will not be held
until June q, the ten delegates from
this state may be necessary to give
one Of the rival candidates for nomi-
nation to the presidency coutrol of

Thomas L. Riggs, even then an old set
tier. Mr.. Riggs was born in Dakota

this state, nearly sixty-five years ago.
His yarents were notable as public
spirited and enterprising pioneers, de.
voted to the public welfare and he has
lived up to the traditions of his family.
He settled here over forty years ago.
and has ever since been foremost in
every movement for the advancement
of the region, sacrificing his time. mon
ey and great ability for public good.
His industry, thrift and persistence has
given him splendid success in farming,
and his large ranch is one of the best
demonstration farms in the west, In
telligent, practical and up to date; he is
a citizen altogether worth while.

ENDORSEMENT OF coRsoN

The Deadwood Pioneer Times, pub
lished at Deadwood, Judge Dighton
Corson's home city, in discussing Judge
Corson's candidacy for judge in its is
sue of May a, says:
"He was the presiding judge of the
state supreme court at the time of it's
organization, and his decisions appear
in every volume of the Supreme Court
Reports, beginning with No. j and con-
tinuing throughout to No. 20.
The court consisted of three judges
up to April |, 1909. Since then it has
been composed of five members. Since
the court was increased to five judges
528 decisions have been written. OF this
number 1903, slightly more than one fifth
OF the total, We're written by Judge Cor
son. The reports of the state also show
that while court also consisted of three
judges only, the decisions written by
Judge Corson We're more than one third
of the total number rendered.
"The quality of Judge Corson't work
is OIL Ine same nlRn standard as 1t Is
quantity. His opinions command respect
not only of the bar of the state but of
the courts of sister states. They are
on the par with the best courts of any
state east or west. They have been
most potent factor in giving the dignity
and high standing to our supreme judic-
ial tribunal which it enjoys throughout
the west. They are clear, logical and
direct. The difficulties of case are
not lodged or evaded, but are squarely
met and as squarely determined.
''ln addition to all this, the judges
mind is virile; his department dignified,
his manner unsailingly courteous.
What more could be asked in a judge
of the highest court in the Iand?"

CHILDREN DROWN AT BRANDON

While Gust, Edith and Anna Pearson
and Hannah Dunning were playing on
the river bank near Brandon, the boy
wadded into the shallow water of the
overflow, and going too far, stepped
into the river beyond his depth. In a
brave attempt to rescue him, his two
sisters and Miss Cunning were drowned.
The boy was 9, his sisters IL and ID,
and Miss Dunning was Ia.
The heroism shown by these brav e
girls, can but little if any, lessen the
grief of the parents, but when the
shadows of life's evening come, as come
they must, and time has mittigated
their palm and mellowed their hearts, it
will comfort them to know they had
brought brave children into the world,
who died heroines, and not towards.

E. H. WOOD FOR
REPRESENTATIVE

South Dakota Messenger: Tue adj
ministration Of state and public Rf-
fairs requires the best of integrity and
business sagacity. This is especially
true when it comes to Legislative en-
actments. Too frequent men are
elected to represent their county or
district in the Legislature without due
regard to the tremendous responsible
ity placed upon the man and his
especial fitness for the place or job.
No corporation Or private business
enterprise would select man unless
he were we'll qualified for. the posi-
tion. The same business sense should
be applied when it comes to selecting
public officials. Hughes county is
especially fortunate this year in hav.
ing among its citizenship life long
Republican who has lived in tho state
for twenty-nlne years. This same
man some the years ago was urged !.
by bis friends and relatives in
California to go there and engage in
business enterprise. But while a.
resident of Jerauld county at that
time had in mind Hughes county and
with that in view looked over this
field. After careful consideration he
decided to cast his lot with US and is
today one of the large land owners OF
Hughes county and has in crop q
thousand acres this season. He has
showed his faith in Hughes county,
not Only by investing in it's lands but
by engaging in business in our midst
so that he is among the largest Of our
taxpayers. Mr.. E. n. Wood, is d
man of large practical experience.
Twelve years of his life were spent
in farming South Dakota soil and he
is still doing it as shown by the large
acreage of crop in this year. Then
too, he taught school on first grade
certificate with high average of stand
ing for seven years. His record as
teacher was such that Jerauld county
citizens called him to the County
SUPPLEMENTARY for two successive
terms, which Office he discharged with
credit to himself and the county.
He has also been engaged in the
merchantile line Of business and in
banking in which line he is still in
terested in the city Of Pierre. AM
other point Of interest is that Mr..
Wood is we'll and favorable known
throughout the state and has many
acquaintances among the public men
Of the state. This is an important
point to be remembered by Hughes
county voters. Mr.. Woods jndg-
ment in business matters il much
sought as is evidenced by the fact
that he is a director in some of the
most prominent business institute ons
of this city. His executive ability
and business accumen il an import
ant asset to any business enterprise

: apoots and saddi.s.D

The well known call of "boots
and saddles" is really corruption
of the old French signal boute-selle
--"put on your saddles" bou-
ter, to put or place, and selle, sad
die. The medieval saddles were OF
such cumbrous and heavy make that
they were taken off the horses when
ever possible. In Mathews "Pow-
erful Favorite" of 1928 occurs the
phrase "the trumpets sounded
boute-selle."
In 1909 Steele wrote in the Tat
ler, "The sound was changed to
boots and saddle,'" but it seems
probable that the phrase ran in its
present form before that date, pos
sibly coming into use during the
civil war among the Roundheads, to
whom the old French boute-selle
would seem pandering to the Cava-
her and French tendencies of the
court.--London Times.

It is a great stroke of luck to dis

The animals shed tusks now and

At the present time there is q
great shortage of ivory all over the

big stores of ivory in the universe

In several parts of Africa the
chieftains of savage races have big

The Australian AborlaInss.

The tribes of central Australia
are among the last of the primitive
races. They are nomads who stray
through the huge and deserted
tracts of this great continent, hunt
ing with spear and boomerangs.
They are with few exceptions can
nibals. Living in huts made of the
boughs of trees, they have no house
hold utensils. They count on their
fingers only and only to the number
of ten, but they decorate the rocks
with rude attempts at drawing and
make efforts to ornament their
shields. Their art is determined and
distinct, but inferior to that of the
western European epoch of the
reindeer. Their most singular char
acteristic is their social conventions
atty; they have fixed prejudices
concerning marriage.
