AN ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE

That twelve and one-half inches OF
rain has been measured at the Pierre
weather station within the past two
months is assurance Of a bountiful
harvest.
Twelve and one-half inches is more
than half the normal precipation for
year and it has been visited upon
this immediate section since the
crops began to grow.
The soil is moistened eight or ten.
feet down and the water is still pro-
pressing downward. Depressions in
the surface are filled with water and
the river is at moderate flood stage.
And there is no evidence that tho
season of rain is over. The weather
bureau is predicting moro.
While this account relates more
especially to the central and western
portions of the state, the entire state
has been most generously moistensd
and the prospect for an enormous
crop growth in South Dakota was
never better.

IN THE LONG AGO

The Mexicans were numerous
enough to expel the enemy, but had
no arms or ammunition. 1t was dur
ing night, along in 1854, that 3
large wagon train crossed the bound
ary from Texas into Mexico, guard
ed by United States soldiers, Of
whom Mr.. Barber's informant was
one.
The expedition travelled BY night
and hid during the day time. It
penetrated into Mexico to q city be-
lieved to be Chihuahua.
There the wagons were unloaded
and large quantity Of arms and am-
munition turned over to Mexicans
awaiting their arrival. The train
then returned to the United States
and the affair was never told until IT
was given to Mr.. Barber BY the SUR
vivor. General Lew Wallace Was In
command Of the expedition.
With che munitions thus supplied
them, the Mexicans rallied to the de-
Tense Of their country, overcams the
invasion and finally executed Max
millian.
This 10 . little story OF the past that
adds interest to the cruise Of thu
steamer now on her way from New
York to Tampico, laden with am
munition for the Mexican rebsls.
