Girl Ends Her Life.

Sioux Falls.-Mystery surrounds the
cause of the suicide OF Miss Louisa
Schmidt, the 16-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Schmidt, living on
a Hutchinson county farm. The girl
ended her life by firing a charge from
a shotgun into her body. 1t is be-
lieved that after loading and cooking
the weapon she placed the muzzle
against her body and pushed the trig-
ger with a curtain rod, as a rod was
found near the bed upon which her
body was lying. The father was tenn.
porarily absent from home and the
mother was working in the garden at
the time the deed was committed. Her
brothers were working some distance
from the house. No note has been
found telling why she was weary of
life, and as she had not been despond-
ent and had no troubles, so fas as
known, her parents and friends are al
a loss to account for the tragedy.

ranged for convenience.
This house is designed along strict

paper Syndicate.)
Long time ago, when the Indians of
the wooded mountains used to tip their
arrows with pieces OF sharp flint, the
little children who watched the old
men at work chipping the flint and
binding the pointed bits of stone into
the ends OF the arrows with deer sinew,
would hear this story:
Once the animals all came together
in council to talk about how they could
destroy Flint, the awful fellow who
lived up on the mountain and killed
so many of them. One after the other,
the animals stood up in the council and
told about how Flint had come down
from the rocky lodges of the mountain
and carried off some of their relatives.
The Great Bear said It; the long
pronged deer said it.; the oldest COB
bier saidsit; and finally the Great Otter
said that somebody must go and kill
Flint in order to save the lives Of the
rest of the animals.
But who would dare to go up to the
mountain and undertake to destroy
Flint? No n wanted to 90, though
the Great Otter, who was at the head
of the council, said that great honor
would come to the one who succeeded.
At last when it came time for the
rabbit to answer, he said that he would
go and destroy Flint II he only knew
the way to his house.
"Oh!" said all the animals at once,
I'VE will show you the way" And so
they all came out Of the council and
took the rabbit to a high knoll. When
they were all gathered on the knoll.
the Great Otter stood beside tho rab-
bit and pointed to a house way up on
the side of the mountain. They could
just barely see it.
There" said the Great otter, Elves
Flint" and he told the rabbit Just how
to get up there.
1t was a long road, and the rabbit
sat down to rest before he got to
Flint's house, and he planned what he
would do. Then he got up and went
Flint was standing in the door Of
his house as the rabbit came up and
said to him:
"Siyu (hello)-are you the fellow
they call Flint?" And the rabbit said
1t just as II he meant to bite his head
off right there!
Eyes, I'm Flint" answered the
wicked n who lived on the noun
tain. but he didn't invite the rabbit to
come inside, So the rabbit said:

Black Hills for some clew to the
whereabouts of his father, who was
SEN to states prison nearly thirty
years ago from here, Frank j.. Grison,

of manslaughter in the first degree,
was SEN to Sioux Falls prison for nine
teen years and eleven months. He

later was released On parole, the son
has learned, but where he went the
son has never found out. Two weeks

his father wherever he may be. Girl
son, senior, had a brother, julius, here

he looked as If he wished the rabbit
would go away.
"Why not come with me today and
have supper at my house?" asked the
rabbit, who had made his plans.
"All right, l will" said Flint. Just
wait till ! ,over my fire with ashes SO
it will keep till morning"
So the two came down from the
mountain together, and they came to
the rabbits house by the river. The
rabbit said he'd make a fire down by
the water, where it was cooler, and
then they ate their supper on the
grass.

when Flint lay down the rabbit hunted
round for two big sticks. Then he got
out his knife and began to white on
the sticks. One he whitfield I'm the
shape of a hammer and the other he
shaped like a wedge.
What are you doing that for?'
asked Flint sleepily.

Soon Flint was fast asleep. The
rabbit spoke to him, but he did not
answer. The rabbit went over and
kicked Flint, but even that did not
wake him. Then the rabbit put the
sharp wedge against the body of Flint
and drew back as far as he could with
the hammer and sent the wedge deep
into Fllnt's body.
AS he struck, the rabbit turned and
a as fast as he could to the door of
his house. Just as he got inside he
heard a great explosion and struck his
head out to see what 1t was. The
wedge had. broken the body of Flint
to bits and the pieces were flying all
about.

flying straight at the rabbit and cut

rabbit the little split made by the

q Peculiar Accident.

Hayti.-Carl Hanson had a miracu-
ious escape from death following his
attempt to rescue a hat which had
blown from his head. He was being
given a ride in the automobile of Lloyd
West, a friend, and the machine was
travelling at a rate of about 25 miles
an hour when his hat blew off. Not
thinking of the consequences he arose
suddenly to his feet and in striving
to snatch the flying hat lost his bal
ance and was hurled head first out Of
the speeding auto. He struck the
ground on his head and was rendered
unconscious. For a time it was feared
he was fatally hurt, but he is now
gradually recovering from the effects
Of his headlong plunge.

Offering Prizes to Bridal Couples

Wakonda.-Keen competition exists
between two justices of the peace in
Spirit Mound township, near here, as
to which shall perform the greatest
number Of marriage ceremonies. One
OF the justices, in order to stimulate
business, not only agrees to perform
ceremonies freeof charge, but also is
willing to present the newlyweds with
a dozen thoroughbred chickens. The
other justice, not to be outdone by his
competitor, now is making the same
offer, to which he has added a dozen
eggs for good measure. The clergy
men of the region now are wondering
what they must do to regain their lost
prestige.

questions and give advice FREE OF

subject OF building. for the readers Of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufactures, he
Is, without doubt, the highest authority

1t Is surprising to one who has not
given the matter thought, how many
little points there are connected with
the planning Of an ~up-to-date con-
yenient residence that can be gotten
all wrong If the architect Is not ex-
~ceedingly careful or doesn't know his
business, and the house resulting be
almost ruined, SO far as comfort and
the c~onveniences of housekeeping are
concerned.
1t has frequently been suggested
that architects doing residence work
should seek advice of the women
concerning many points, and find out
from first-hand testimony just how
the housekeeper wants to have the
many features which mean so much
to her, but which mere man knows
very little Of. Some Of these points
that have been suggested are as fol-
lows:
What woman would put in laundry
tubs so deep that the luckless worker
who Is of short or medium stature is
In constant danger of pitching for
ward upon her head, while the tall
headache or backache as the result of
a few hours work; or, who but man
would make the ledge between the
tubs 81 wide that no ordinary wringer
can be fitted to it? Would any WON
an dream of standing a kitchen range
SO close to the wall on the side where
the match has to be applied and the
stop-cocks regulated that it is only
by difficult maneuvering with the left
hand that the range can be managed
at all?
Nor Is there any plausible reason
for so arranging the wall spaces that
the refrigerator must stand next to
the stove, while the closet in the
kitchen, which is to be used as a
pantry, is as far away from the self
same stove as it is possible to place
1t, presumably to give the cook some
needed exercise in getting up a meal.
Another idea which should suggest
itself to the woman architect, or archi-
tect's assistant, is the fact that the
toilet room, if there is but one, should
be separate from the bathroom, as a
matter of family convenience; also,
If the bathroom is on the second floor.
