The Power Of a voies-

Stories abound to illustrate the DOW
er possessed by great speakers and
actors to stir the emotions by the
tones Of the voice. 1t Is said Of the
elder Booth that he brought tears to
the eyes Of company upon one occa
sion by the way in which he uttered
the opening words. "Our Father" OF
the Lords Prayer.
A story is told Of. the great Irish
orator. OConnell. An attack had been
made upon him in the house Of com
mons. When O'Connell arose to reply
his lofty brow was black with thun
der and his arm uplifted as If to strike
Then, checking himself, he said. But

II have no words of bitterness or re.
proach for any man who loves Ire,

utterance of the last word brought
tears to the eyes of many veterans OF
the house.

A Scotch Test.

Auchtermuchty is the happy town
which every Scot. proud of his unpro-
nounceable tongue, uses as a shibbo-
leth to test the linguistic skill of the
southron. If you cannot say "Auchter-
muchty" you are still an uneducated
barbarian. The meaning Of the word
happens to be as monstrous as its
sound THE high ground of the wild
sow" is not name one would choose
for a garden city. People, however.
are found to flock to 1t as summer re.
sort. and as II has lovers pool the
town has probably attractions more
real than its name. In the early part
of the last century Auchtermuchty
went bankrupt and was deprived of all
its property except the jail and one or
two other assets of an equally neces.
sary character. 1t is now rich. peace

The herd of cattle owned by the
''Scotty" Phillip estate, which has
been ranged on leased pastures on
Lower Brule reservation for q number
of years. has been closed out on
account of the leasing privileges being
cut out on that reserve. That last
shipment of forty cars was made from
Kadoka few days ago, and this ship
ment marked the ending of one of the
few big cattle herds which have held
together west Of the river regardless
Of the settlement of the past FIVE years.
This leaves about the only large herd
in the state on the Cheyenne River
reservation north Of Cheyenne river,
and on Pine Ridge reservation in the
southwestern part Of the state. and
the encroachments of settlement viii
soon put these herds out of existence
as it has all in the central part of the
state.

of killing AZ rattle snakes in prairie

Farmers Institute

The regular annual Farmers Insti.
tute is to be held in Webster on Nov
Is and l6 and it is the desire of the
Reporter and Farmer that every
farmer tributary to Webster be pre-
sent and take an active part in the
meeting. The Farmers Institutes in
South Dakota are accomplishing an
untold amount of good. Crops adapted
to the soil conditions are being prac-
ticed, farms are being handled in a
more rational scientific manner, more
and better live stock is being raised
and prosperity is evident on every
hand. This has been, in part, at least,
due to the efforts of the Farmers
Institutes.
Let US make these meetings this
year better than ever before.
Let every business man in Webster
put his shoulder to the wheel and
make mighty effort to make it
success. Let US provide for a big
exhibit both of farm and kitchen pro-
ducts, and then let every farmer and
bis wife. as well as the town ladies',
bring in their products for display.
The corps of lecturers will be much
stronger this year than ever before.
The whole United States has been
SEQ ured in order TO secure the best
f armers' Institute lecturers obtain
able. Then let everybody, both
country and town people, turn out and
make the Farmers Institute days this
year the gala days OF the year.

SPORT SNAPSHOTS.
by Dan Mecarty.

Edwin R Bushnell, an American
athletic authority explains athletic SUI
periority Of this country as follows in
the London Times;
THE position which America enjoys
is the result of scientific coaching.
We frankly admit that for our super
iority In distance running we used
England as our model
THE most important factor in our
strength for 1915 Will be in the re-
suit OF the enthusiasm created by the
1912 performers. Every schoolboy in
the country with athletic ambitions
viii wish to represent America four
years hence. This is only natural.
IF there were similar enthusiasm
in England, coupled with the ad-
option of system of coaching, there
would be no occasion for the general
lament over the result OF your 1912
performance
Lefty Russell, Connie MacRs s11,-
900 lemon, who was released to At
lanta and then fired, failed to win
against a villagei team in Virginia.
Shenandoah and Woodstock, Va, are
hot baseball rivls Woodstock has
been winning regularly this season.
Shenandoah hired Russell and pitched
HIM under an assumed name. Every
body in Shenandoah YVES on and they
bet money like water. Russell gave
his supporters a thrill at the start,
bat soon petered out He famed twol
batters and another popped out in the
first inning Then they hammered
Lefty for Is hits and runs. Shen-
Rndoah got five runs.
The embryonic baseball players
un1on is as progressive as a central
labor union. II win demand a mini
u,um wage scale Of $4,000. They fig
ire that If one man is worth $4,000
no other player shoulc received less
than $4,000. They figure that If a
player is not worth that, he is not
worth carrying around the league
Many young players draw less than
81 900. 1t costs so much more to live
N big league towns than in smaller
cities. they say, that many do better
