PARKIN LOSES CASE.
Judge McGee Hands Down Decision Regard
ing Election Case.

ing Election Case.
Judge McGee, of Rapid City, last
week handed down a decision In the
case of Guy D. Parkin Us. the county
auditor and the county commits
sloners in which the plaintiff sought to
have certificate of election issued to
himself ln the case as tried, Mr.. Par
kin contended that he was the suocess-
full candidate for the office of county
assessor on the independent ticket
over Q. l.. johnson, the republican
candidate.
1t seems that the county commits
sioners after the election counted
the votes of the entire county. and Mr..
Psrkin thought they should count
only the votes OF the uuorgsnized
townships Taking the entire vote of
the county Mr.. johnson had majority
OF about 200 and the unorganizsd Dor.
tlon Mr. Parkin had majority of 40.
Mr., Haynes, an attorney of Oelrichs,
who represented Mr.. Parkin, brought
writ of mandamus and the county
commissioners were represented by
states attorney Hedriok and p. F.
Ward. The case was tried at the ad-
journed February term and owing to
the absence Of the states attorney il
was the contention Of P. F.. Ward who
tried the case on behalf Of the auditor
and commissioners that the plaintiff
had failed to bring the proper action.
Judge MoGee took the case u n +
advisement allowing time for Mr.. He'd.
rick's brief also, which the latter filed
on his return.
Judge MoGee has held that the plain.
tiff did not bring the proper action, II
being dicision on the question OF
law only. This leaves Mr.. johnson as
county assessor.
We are not advised as to what Mr.
Psrkin intends to do.

GOOD GAME SATURDAY
DrizzIers From Rapid City Win Game From
Rangers at Sanitarium.

NdUXCIS dI SdIIIIdTIUW.
An exceptionally good game of bas.
ket ball was played at the New Opera
House last Saturday night between the
Drizzlers team from Rapid City, and
the Rangers, team composed of boys
at the Battle Mountain Sanitarium.
The game was exciting from start to
finish and the final result was in doubt
all the way until time was called at the
end OF the second period. The Rapid
City boys however finally won out by q
score of 20 to II. Following is the line.

widower for years after the going of Nan before he
allowed the thought of another marriage enter his
head. But Nan had not left him with houseful of little
children: she had left him with only ten-yearold
boy, boy who had his mothers clear brown eyes and
her firm and yet sensitive mouth.
When he did begin to think seriously of taking
himself second wife there in the way two bar
riers-two very great barriers thev to Nathan

age,-there few gray streaks in his hair and
beard the other that his son Philip, grown
and strappng young giant, had been at all back

always been like brothers, more like chums than
father and son; they had always been inseparable.
Nathan spent long month in wrestling with his
dilemma.
Then the laurels that chaplet of the everlasting
hills, burst into bloom, luxurant, white, fragrant and
he thought of Sarah Sarah had been his first sweet

passion for the splendid mountain flower. They had
gathered it together many-oh, many were the tmes!-

He was about to give it up, about to resign himself

Good Work of

The society of the Red Cross was
originally organized to give aid to the
wounded on the field of battle, but in
late years its field of usefulness has
been greatly wddened until its work
in war has become only q small part
of its activities. The work it did In
Italy four years ago Is striking ex-
ample OF this. But perhaps the great
est disaster in which tie Red Cross
has been called upon to labor was
the recent floods in the great central
valleys
The Red Cross decided that to mere

ManIiness Not Mannishness.
"Manliness Is not mannishness, the
swagger Of a dude, aping his elders.
"Manlfness must always include cour-
age. but it is not always easy to see
courage in one who did not lead ar
mics, but 1t is there.
"Manliness must not only include
courage to fight but readiness to die.

Manliness must comprise indepen-
dence of thought and manliness is not
always associated in the popular mind
with goodness. He has gradually made
this element to triumph.
Women first made heroes of the I'll
tanic victims, and Christ did not nour-
tsh his own wrongs and sufferings nor
shun death, but espoused the cause of
the weak, OF women and children, and
the oppressed who had no savior.
MANY thousands have measured up
to the first elements of greatness who
never knew this last one. But the
world is tardily recognizing that the
ideal knight must wear the flower OF
a blameless life.

Great Men Read Bible.
Recently three world rulers, William
II, Of Germany, George ", of England,
and Woodrow Wilson have expressed
themselves separately upon their in
debtedness to the Bible. The German
emperor said that he had never gone
to sleep without first reading SOME
portion from which he gained great
peace and help. King George, of Eng
land, said that as a lad he had prom
ised his mother, the good Queen Vic
toria, to read a chapter each day, and
that as a boy and man he had never
failed to do so. President Wilson is
more pronounced, and his father as
a minister, could not have been more
eulogistic of the Bible.
TT is a great thing that the White
House has exalted the parsonage. Mrs.
Wilson is the seventh lady there to
come from a minister's home and Will

first minister's son to fill that high
