Frank Fryer, who moved here from
Doland a few weeks ago, had a peculiar
runaway last Friday afternoon and one
that ended fortunately for him. He
was driving down Main street with a
high box wagon, with another team
of horses tied behind. When near the
post office the team that was led be-
came frightened and ran down the
street, dragging off the top-box TO
which they were tied. This frightened
the other team and they followed down
the street. Both teams stopped near
the end of the street, with little dam

although he does not recollect just
how he managed to stay in the wagon

The supreme court has rendered a
decision that puts newspapers in a
new light. 1t has been generally sup
posed that to a certain extent a news
paper was a servant Of the public and
could be compelled to publish what
ever the public wanted published so
long as the usual charges were paid.
The supreme court holds differently.
In a cas- from Cavour, Beadle county,
the circuit court issuel a mandamus to
compel the Cavour Clarion to publish
certain notices relative to changing
the limits of the village. The case was
appealed and the higher court reversed
this, holding a newspaper to be private
property and it's columns open to only
such matter as the publisher chooses
to insert. Any other rule would be
disastrous to the neWspaper business
The publisher is held accountable for
what he publishes, and to force him to
publish matter that he could not de-
fend in the courts would put him in a
serious position. The supreme court
has surely taken the sensible view of
the matter.-De Smet News.

As the children grow older, the

For instance, every note in the scale
Is represented by different color

child learns the scale.
Girls from 10 up make baskets.

BERKELEY. Cal. Sept. 12.-Ever
hear OF an out-0f-d0ors play-school
where children are taught to think?
One located at the University of
California has just closed q six
weeks session. Here 260 children
ranging from four years up to Ii
played three hours each day and
were educated while they played.
The purpose of the play-school was
to give the child an unrestrained
chance to learn: not by rule and reg
ulation, but by allowing him to de-
velop his own method Of study and
application.
I'm the beginning" said Miss Rose
Shdehan, superintendent OF the Sac
ramento kindergarten, who had
charge of the kindergarten class In
the play school, "the object was to
develop the big muscles first and
teach the child TO play with some pur-
pose, thereby laying firm founda-
ton for study In the grammar grades
later on. Left to themselves with OBJ
jects of various sizes and colors, It
is wonderful to see many and various
ways they will utilize them. each fol-
lowing his natural bent, and each
learning the one big thing--to think.
Concentration Is one of the most valu-
able things in the world to know. II
doesn't come natural 1t has to be
learned. II 1t Is learned In the be-
ginning. then a firm foundation has
been laid for study end application
to the problems in after life.'

FACTS SHOW ST.

LEGEND IS MYTH
Belief. of Wet Weather for
Forty Days Discountenanced
In England
SCIENTISTS PECK HOLES
IN OLD TRADITION
Proved That Only Thirty Bad
Days Occurred In
1905

LONDON, Sept. ia study Of the
weather In England since 1914 has
been made by correspondent OF the
Daily Telegraph In order to hnd out
whether there Is any truth In the
legend that III It rains on st.
Swithin's day July 15) there will be
rain on the forty days following
The inquiry proves the legend to be Q
myth.
From 1915 to 1869 there were fif-
teen st. Swithin's days on which
there was rain, but In no case did the
fall amount to an inch. In no year
were there forty days of rain at any
period. Dumfries and Greenwich REQ
ords from 1841 to 1904 show that In
no year were there more than thirty
one or fewer than fdelr wet days in
the forty succeeding July IA. In
twenty of the years at least half OF
the forty days after July Is were wet,
but only Ave of these years was st.
Swithin's day wet. On the other hand.
although in the two dryest seasons.
with only four and six wet days re-
spectively in the period under consid-
Grafton, St. Swithin's day was dry;
yet In 1887, after wet July Is, only
nine Of the forty days were wet.
On an average. q wet st. Swithin's
day entails seventeen wet days out
OF the next forty. From 1887 to 1904
there was no year In which rain fell
for forty days after July Is; the
greatest number was thirty-four In
1895. and In that year no rain fell on
July 10. There were three years in
which rain fell for twenty-eight days,
and In all these July IL was wet
The next heaviest rainfall was In
1898, with twenty-six wet days. and
in that year July Is was dry. In 1897
that day was dry. but 1t was followed
by twenty,four wet days.
In 1906 there was rain on July is
and on fourteen OF the next forty
days. In 1907. 1910, 1911 and 1912
to day was dry. In 1908 there was
rain on July Is, and on eleven Of the
next forty days. In 1909 there was
rain on July Is. and on sixteen Of the
next forty days. In 1918 there was
rain on July Is, but there has been
little since.
st. Swithin's day is In a changeful
season of the year when rain Is an
almost even chance"

driving half-breed and six men. Two
days later they returned. Hale had
a bullet in his leg above the knee and
the half-breed carried a similar gift
in his forearm
This incident bothered the sheriff
cruelty. He went to Foxcroft, where
they said unpleasant things to him;
he went back to the Landing and they
made fun of him.
The sheriff summoned his posse,
boarded the steamer Red Deer and
left Greenville, bound for Moose
River. Half dozen canoes were
aboard. The posse carried Winches-
tiers, although no game was in sea-
son.
Off the Grey Gull, an island, the lit
tie steamboat stopped, the canoes
were dropped, the posse embarked.
At the mouth of the Moose River
two more canoes were waiting; Hale
sat in one, paddle glistening in the
pale spring sunshine; in the other sat
the Indian log-driver, nursing the
hammer of rifle.
1t was padding for a mile to the
first wing-dam, and there, the sheriff,
who led flung his stern-paddle into
the bottom of the canoe, fourished
the setting-pele and stood up. At the
same moment jet of flame leaped
from the edge of the wing-dam and
a bullet passed through the sheriff's
hat.
The amazed official fell overheard,
rose, grasped the edge of the canoe
and swamped it, turning the bow
paddler into the river. The swift cur
rent landed them on a shoal and they
crawled up on rock.
Nobody fired at the wing-dam ex-
cept Hale. He banged away as fast
as he could pump the breach-lever,
and Billy Sebato, the Indian, took to
the bushes and lay patiently waiting
for a mark, purring with eagerness.

the wing-dam edge. "Git back to

Hale started to push his canoe
among the rocks where he could hold
it and fire under cover. Skeene slid
suddenly to the corner of the wing
dam and fired three shots through
the canoe, cutting swale lengthwise
at the waters edge. 1t settled in two
feet of water.
"Now'Il you let me be?" called
Skeene. 81 hain't done nothin' to

was repeated by Hale, wading out on

ed from the wing-dam, there came
a crash and crackle of dry twigs,
and the Indian pitched heavily over
the bank into the swirling river.

NDWARD PAYSON WESTON,
X seventy-five years old, cham
IL pion long distance walker of
the world, started out from New
York city on June for little hike
Of some 1900 miles to Minneapolis,
MINI. This champion walker is a
wonderfully hale and hearty old gen.
tleman and living demonstration of
his claim that walking is the best form
of exercise and is the best possible
preventive of premature old age.
The why little man, dressed in a
khaki suit, hobnail shoes and a white
silk helmet, attracted large crowd at
the College of the City of New York
when he started on his journey. Huge
throngs followed the veteran tramper
through the streets, and in every town
he enters the walker is given hearty
reception by the inhabitants.
In his trip from New York to Min
neapOlis Weston follows the tracks of
the Erie railroad for a large part of
the walk. He has the right of way over
all railroad tracks and through cities.
During the day he carries flag, and
at night he is equipped with lantern.
He walks for about seven or eight
hours a day. Prior to leaving New
York he stated that On this trip he
was not out for any records, but sim
ply wanted to show the younger gen.
Grafton what moderate, healthy ex-
ercise walking Is.
Following Is a record Of the more
notable journeys which Weston has
accomplished on his pedestrian tours:
In 1867 he inaugurated the pop
ular interest in walking by making his
famous walk from Portland, Me-, to
Chicago, 1926 miles, in "a days, %
hours and 40 minutes, between noon
of Oct. 90 and 1910 a. M, Nov. IS.
In October, 1868, Weston made the
first record in America of a walk Of
100 miles within twenty-fOur cOnsecu-
tive hours by walking the distance
