Freight Rates Prohibitive.

Spearfsh.-The state railroad COM
m~issioners met with the Black Hills
Horticultural society here to gather
information and try to work out some
plan so that the apple growers in this
section could ship their fruit to mar
kets in the eastern part Of the state.
The fact was brought out that $1,000
boxes Of apples were grown in and
around Spearfsh this year, many OF
which rotted because the freight rate
was prohibitive. Mr.. Peters paid $40
on each of three cars of apples ship
ped from here to Pierre. This was
higher than carloads of apples could
be laid down in Pierre from New York
or the Pacific coast. When Mr.. Peters
wanted to go beyond Pierre he had
still to pay local rates. resulting in a
large loss on his venture. No further
effort was made to sell apples outside
Of the Hills.

DR.. Hartman Says:
Write to peruna Testimonials If You
Want to Know the Truth.

The following letter was received
by DR.. Hartman through his regula.
correspondence:
Il notice the testimonial OF Mrs.
Alice Boyle, which you give in your
last article. If | should write her do
you suppose she would give me fur
Their particulars? | have heard it said
many times that such testimonials are
fakes; that they are either absolutely
fictitious or else the people have been
hired to write them. | have been in
clined to write you a great many
times but these stories about patent
medicine advertisements have dis
couraged me from doing so. l am
afflicted with catarrh and should like
very much to find a remedy such az
your article describes"
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam:-I do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remedies.
There has been SO much said against
them, SO much controversy concern
Ing them, | am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence In
them.
l wish o would write Mrs. Boyle,
as one woman to another. | wish you
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such a testimonial.
whether her testimonial represents
the truth.
l hope you will remember that she
Is a housewife, like yourself, that she
has something to do besides write
letters, that she Is a woman OF mod
crate means and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. | hope you will enclose
stamp SO she can. answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is a very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh | would be very glad
to hear of the result. / a ASSURE you
that no use will be made of your let
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which is my
reason for doing so, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.

Don't Wed the Vine.
Believe me, MY dear, that there is
no happiness tor either party in sUcn
a marriage. You cannot subvert the
order of nature and society with I'M
punity When the woman has to be
the stalwart oak and the man becomes
the clinging vine, the spectacle is one
at which the very gods laugh. No
matter how much woman loves a
man to begin with, nor how sorry She
is for him, when she sees him a pig
MY among men and realizes that he
cannot fight their battles nor run
their race, she, too, comes to share i'll
tn worlds contempt of him.
When the Creator made man OF
greater stature and stronger muscle
than he did woman, he meant us ~
look up to our husbands and not
down upon them. That's the way we
were built, my dear, and thu plans and
specifications upon which a womans
heart was originally constructed have
never been altered. The only happy
homes are those in which you find the
wife trailing along after the husband
or walking hand in hand with him
You will never find either peace or
contentment where the wife leads the
way, and the husband holds on to her
petticoat like a toddling child ito

Kill the Sweet Little Geese
Oh, MarianM arian, where is the
fool-killer when girl marries a man
to reform him? Surely there is no
other place on earth where there is
such need for the slayer of sweet lit
tie geese as when a gentle maiden
tackles the job of making a man out
of a bunch of appetites, and laziness.

1t can't be done, my dear. Modern
surgery has accomplished much, but
il has never yet succeeded in putting
a backbone into a creature as spine
less as a fishing worm-in homelv
phrase, you can't make a silk purse

A Wife Not Miracle Worker.
There are no miracle workers IN

makes a lazy man Industrious, or that

alone.

were not of the Poor Dick" type
They reformed for themselves, ana
not for their wives. And, anyway, why
marry an inferior creature that, at
best, you can only hope to make over
into a second-rate sort of a man,
when there are so many perfectly good
men to be had for the catching?
Finally, beloved, if you neglect all of
the balance of my counsel take this
ore piece of advice: Before you marry
a shiftless drunkard, who has never
even made a living for himself, go
down into the most squalid part of the
town. rent one miserable room, aud
try for taking in washing for a week,
to see how you like the life of a
drunkard's wife-for that's just abort

A Mans Job.

Not one. The men who run the
banks, the big stores and manufac-
tories; the men who are leading law
yers and doctors, and editors and
preachers; the men who are elected to
high office were not weaklings made
by their wives. They were strong men
who carved out their own fortunes
They do not owe their rise to any wo-
mans influence. They got there by
their own hustle and push.
There's just one job, my dear, that
every man has got to do for himself,
and that is to make his own character
A woman may scallop it around the
edges and embroider blue forget-me-
not in one corner, or she may wear it
into a FRAGILE in a spot or two, but
that's just about all she can do. 1t )
as far as her influence goes. She can
make her husband happy or miser-
able. She can help him to success
more quickly, or delay his getting
there, but she can't keep him down #
he's a good man, and she can't make
i'm rise if he's poor one.
Don't Ee Cheated.
If man won't refrain from drink
ing too much because of his own self
respect he won't do it for any wife. il
he will not work and support himself
because he would rather die than eat

An automobile filed with officers was
showered with stones last night as it
passed through the plains" district OF
this town, and although no one was in.
jured the machine was much damaged.
4 few minutes later two street cars,
both empty, were made the target for
volleys of rocks in the hands Of mob of
500 strikers, which booted and shouted
in derision at other autos filled with
police. No arrests were made.

Draper plant was guarded by police,
while autos carrying more officers fol-
lowed. The cars were allowed to pass
through Milford on their way to ada
cent towns without molestaton.
On the return trip, though, the mob
had become incensed Threats of vio-
lence were made openly, and when one
OF the police autos came in view the
crowd rushed upon it, Missiles of every
sort were hurled at the officers, and only
the fact that the machine was covered,
saved them from injury. As it was, sew
eral stones crashed through the heavy
canvas and the hood of the car was bat
tered and marred.
+ The machine continued on its way
without stopping and the strikers turned
upon two empty ears entering the barn
on East Main street. Stones were hurled
at them and practically every window
in both was smashed.
Armed guards were stationed in even
greater numbers about the Draper plant
last night and every factory and public
building in this town and Hopedale was
watched by the police. The residents
are fearful that the shooting of last
night was only the first of many scenes
Of violence that may grow out of the
