LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK |
Captain Of Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells Of Strange Bombardment
Of His Vessel.

Capt. A. Sunderberg of the steam
schooner Wasp, which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports a
strange experience at sea on August Z.
In a report made to the Hydro
graphic office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 p, m, when six miles
east by south of Point Conception,
his vessel ran into a thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.
Without the fog rising in the least,
a violent electric storm broke out, and
for n hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket of heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges Of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes Of angular
zigzag and forked lightning. At 1915
a. m. August s, the steel foremost of
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display of st. Elmo
fire, as the mast gave out loud reports
as If from a powerful wireless appara-
tus.
While the vessel was bombarded by
lightning which coursed down her
main mast, her officers and crew did
not venture on deck.

GREAT BREAD EATERS.
State Fair Visitors Consumed Vast
Quantities of Bread.

Huron.-The visitors in Huron for
the state fair were remarkably hun
cry, according TO the record OF bust
ness at the Bell Bakery here. This is
the only bakery in town and it up
piled practically the pastry, bread and
doughnuts for the week, excepting the
cooking done at home and at one or
two of the restaurants which have
small bakeries.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday are the four days CT fair
week from the bakers point of view,
and The business is based on these
days. For this time 100, 900 buns
were baked. $4,000 q day. and for the
same period 10000 loaves Of bread
were turned out, while each day 500
dozen doughnuts were mixed, rolled
out and cut by the doughnut machine
and fried to a tempting brown, max
ing in all 1000 dozen of these.
Then there we're visitors who also
wanted pie, and to fill the aching
void of the individuals most fond of
it, 1000 pies we're made and baked.
Two shifts of bakers, fifteen in all,
were employed for this work.

Mother Saves His Life.

Belle Fourche.-Only the vigorous
aid of his mother who used a club with
telling effect, saved the life of sixteen
year old Henry Clark, who lives On
Oak Creek, over the Wyoming line,
when an enraged bull attacked him.
The boy and his widowed mother con-
duct a milk ranch and young Clark
was busy milking n of the cows
when the bull appeared on the scene
and before Clark could get away, he
had been knocked down and gored by
the animal. Hearing his screams the
mother ran out and managed to beat
off the bull and then summoned aid.
Young Clark was rushed to the hos
pital mere where it was found that the
tips of the bulls horns had pierced
his lungs but unless he has other COM
p~lications, the physicians think he will
recover.

toned way. / have nothing to say
against large two-story solid houses
as heavy as any one wants them.
They are all right in their right
places. But what suits one person
does not suit another, either in plan,
in appearance, or in cost; and the
bungalow has added a chapter to
house building which meets the needs
of large and increasing numbers of
home owners and home builders.
This house plan gives an opportun-
ity for young people to start in with
a home Of their W without a great
outlay in cash. AS designed, the
house is built without a cellar; but a
cellar may be added at any time.
While the children are small, 1t is
not absolutely necessary to finish the
bedrooms on the second floor. The
house is complete downstairs. / have
known men with families of fire or
six children to build g. house like
this, occupy it for a year or two, then
add a cellar, sleeping rooms in the
attic, a porch at the back or side,
and many other attractive features

pense. And very often the money
saved in rem has paid for these i'm
provements.

this kind and | am optimistic

ments are increasing as the country

Economy is one Of the greatest vir-
tues. Economy and ignorance seldom
go together. 1t requires a person of
more than average intelligence to
practice economy sensibly. Economy
is not st~inginess; there is a wide dis
tinction.

Experiments with European Seeds.


Wagner.-Laust Jensen, a scientific
highly improved farm neal here, Is
accomplishing much in securing new
and highly profitable grains for this
latitude. In his modest way he is do
ing as much good as some agricultural
colleges. He recently returned from
Denmark, and brought with him a
small quantity Of beardless wheat
which is the principal wheat crop in
Denmark, and which he will sow on
his South Dakota farm next year for
seed. 1t has a good head and unusual
ly large berries, and it is expected it
will do exceptionally well in the soil
of South Dakota and yield much heav-
Ter than the wheat raised. A few
years ago when Mr.. Jensen returned
from another visit in Denmark he
brought back with him a half bushel
of seed oats of the variety raised in
that country. The first year he sowed
it on his South Dakota farm it was
hailed out and he received back only
about a bushel of seed. But by the
fourth season he had 1,400 bushels
from the original seed. The oats
weighed AZ pounds to the bushel and
parts of his field yielded as high as
100 bushels per acre-nearly a record
yield for South Dakota so far as oats
is concerned. Mr.. Jensen believes he
can get results comparatively as good
from the seed wheat which he Cow has
brought from Denmark.

A commodious and at the same time
conveniently arranged house of mod
crate cost, is illustrated in the ac-
"companying perspective drawing and
floor plan. By fitting up three rooms
upstairs-for which there is space
available-this plan gives us a house
of nine rooms, besides bathroom,
front and back entries or vestibules,
and a pantry.
This house is adapted to a lot 35
feet or more in width, being 33 feet 6
inches wide by As feet long, ex-
elusive of the spacious front porch.
The structure is somewhat on the
bungalow order, or rather a moditica-
ton of the bungalow idea. Properly
speaking, a bungalow has only one
floor, but here we have a slight de-
parture from this rule, though the re-
semblance to that type of house is
still maintained.
The bungalow developed in this
country on the Pacific coast. The
idea, probably, was originally brought
from India, although a great many
architects claim that the modern
bungalow Is really the outgrowth of
the log cabins and the sod and adobe
houses of the early inhabitants of the
United States. Probably bungalow
architectural ideas could be traced
back to all these sources. The result
is hat W. have a very comfortable,
low-cost house; and the bungalow
type Of structure is being extensive
iy built in different parts Of the coun-
try and is constantly increasing in
popularity. Within easy reach of
large cities, bungalows are going up
by the hundreds; and the idea is a
good one. People are tired OF be-
ing crowded into small, unhealthful

quarters, and are taking this mean
of providing themselves with good,
sensible homes at a reasonable out
lay.
The original bungalow roof was low
and broad; but, in order 20 get more
sleeping accommodation, the ridge
was raised just enough at first to get
one room above the ground floor.
Builders, however, have repeatedly
pushed it up higher, until now we e
a good many houses built very much
after this plan, with as many as
three bedrooms in the roof.
1t costs but little more to build a
seven or e~ight-roomed house in this
way than to build a five-roomed house
with the rooms all On n level. The
rafters, of course, are longer, and it
takes more shingles; but the work on
the roof Is not much different. and
so far as the inside is concerned, you
simply add the finishing up of the ex-
ira rooms. The foundation is no
larger; and the only addition on the
first foor is the stairway, which, in
this case. Is built in and closed with
a door at the bottom. You seldom,
in fact, see an open stairway in a
bungalow house. 1t seems to be out
of keeping with the general layout.
There is a modification Of ideas in
regard to house s~tairways, even In
larger houses. The question has often
arisen: Why should we build a fancy,
open stair directly opposite the main
entrance door, as though every per-
son entering must receive In invita-
ton to GO up aloft? AS a matter OF
fact, not one stranger in a dozen en-
tering the front door goes upstairs,
and it makes considerable difference
to the members Of the family where
the stairway is placed. Very often

Sturgis.-Mrs. Nellie Mcmahon, ad-
Judged insane years ago in Meade
county and sent to the Yankton asy-
lum, is again at Sturgis, held on in
sanity charge. She was let out of the
Yankton institution on the privilege
of law granting the right to relatives
OF any insane person, who is not dan
gerous, to care for that relatives.
Mrs. Mcmahon several years ago
shot and killed her husbands bust
ness partner, some time after her hus-
bands death, because she thought the
partner vas cheating her out of her
husbands funds. The woman was ad-
Judged insane and sent to the asylum.
Later the case was appealed to the
supreme court and Mrs. Mcmahon was
taken to Pierre last year to testify in
her wv behalf, and to let the court
judge as to her sanity. The court or
dered her returned to Yankton.
At that hearing she stated hat if
she was freed from the asylum she
would go and live with her sister in
Chicago, and recently this sister APP
piled at the Yankton hospital for Mrs.
Mcmahon to come and live with her.
The sisters husband went to Yankton
and got Mrs. Mcmahon. The two went
as far as Sioux City and there sep.
arated, Mrs. Mcmahon coming to
Sturgis, her former home.
She has in no sense been discharged
from the Yankton hospital, but, under
the legal right for harmless insane
persons, was given into the care of her
sister. What legal steps will be taken
to return her to Yankton have not
been determined.

EASY TO DECEIVE THE WORLD
People as a General Rule Are Very
Apt to Accept a Man at His
Own Valuation.

Only the very great can afford to
neglect cultivating a pose. Many
even of these cultivate one. They
are probably wise, for, despite the
constant depreciation Of the poseur. 1t
remains the fact that a pose, well
maintained, is a considerable factor in
insuring worldly success. Who of US
is thoroughly natural? Some, perhaps,
but few-very few. An affectation,
not too patent, a pose, a pretense OF
greatness, next to greatness itself.
makes the best impression upon the
general run of people. 1t takes a lit
tie greatness itself to distinguish true
greatness. That is why the really
great are frequently not recognized
until after their death. But when a
man, by his manner, insists that he is
great, the world generally takes him
at his own estimate, and accords him
the honors of greatness.
The man who poses as righteous
obtains a reputation for righteousness.
Whether he really deserves it usually
does not matter. The man who poses
as profound obtains a reputation for
profundity. He may be as shallow as
a ~rivulet, but the pose is apt to create
the impression he seeks to convey. We
all know the man who utters COM
mon-places with the rotundity Of
the great orator, with the air OF an
oracle, arrogating to himself the hon
ors Of original discovery. We all
know the impressive appearance and
rotund defamation which often give
public men, lawyers. lecturers and
other forensic speakers vast reputa-
tons which the product of their brains
utterly fails to Justify.
