Other courses are soup. fish. an en-.

Assuming that the table has been
correctly arranged. there is at each
place q plate and on it a plainly
folded napkin having within it roll.
Each person removes the napkin and
roll when taking a seat.
AT small dinners, where SCUM is the
first course, an empty dinner plate is
always at each place and the SCUM
plate is put down on it. The rule is
understood in serving that no person
should be left without plate cxcept
at the time of the clearing of the
table before dessert. and that a fresh
plate Is always slipped in place as
the plate which has been used is with

What is the crucible of true friend
ship? From what can the status of
real friend be gagged? This is
question which is burning in the
breast of every one who will read
these lines. You have a friend. But
is he or she really the friend you
think? Could your friend undergo
the terrible test which was put upon
the two sturdy Grecian leaders,
Damon and Pythias?
Syracuse is governed by body of
senators, among whom Damon is
one of the most prominent. Diony-
sius, chief general of the armies,
covets the throne, but Damon strong
ly opposes him.
Among Dionysius' generals Pythias
is his favorite. Alto, the friendship of
Damon and Pythias is a matter of
note throughout Syracuse. Pythias
goes to the villa of his friend Damon
outside Syracuse, where he is enter
tanned by the latter's wife and small
son.
Meanwhile Dionysius sees for the
first time the affianced sweetheart of
Pythias, Calanthe. He desires her as

his own, and when news of war in
sister city reaches him he orders
Pythias into action in hopes that the
young warrior might be killed. Fate
does not favor Dionysius' plans, how
erer, and Pythias returns a victor. ..-
The despot Dionysius then manip-
ulates his schemes in such a way as
to have himself proclaimed king by
majority of the senators. Fearing
for the safety of his state, Damon at
tempts to assassinate the tyrant and
is cast into prison under a sentence
of death. Pythias pleads for the life
of his friend, but is repulsed by
Dionysius. T. ..-
Damon is allowed to pay a last
visit to his wife and child after Pyth-
las has offered himself as hostage.
Damon speeds to his villa, leaving his
friend Pythias, who agrees to die at
the sunset hour if Damon does not

Racing Railroad Train Driver Brings
Up i'm Ditch.

Sioux Falls, July 1S.-While rae
ing with a train on the Milwaukee
road north of the city, a stranger
driving a Ford runabout lost control
of his car for an instant and went
into a ditch, considerably damaging
his car, but the driver escaped in
jury. The stranger got a ride to
Baltic for the purpose of securing
help to haul his car in for repairs.
About the same time a local garage
received an emergency call asking
for assistance in hauling in a car
which had gone wrong on the Dell
Rapids road. A man with a machine
was sent from the local garage.
When a couple of miles north of
Renner he found the Ford in the
ditch and supposed that this was the
car he had been sent after and hitch
ing onto il hauled il 20 town. In
the meantime the stranger who had
been driving the Ford returned to
the scene of the accident and was
surprised to find that his a had dis

disabled a had been hauled in the
direction of Sioux Falls. The strang-
er was brought to this city, where
after a short search he located his
crippled car.

grain in the state in general will be
one of the largest ever produced in
South Dakota, and when harvested
and marketed will bring many mil
lion dollars into the state.
The hay crop is perhaps the largest
ever produced in South Dakota. The
abundant rains during June are what
made this crop such a large one.
Tens of thousands of tons have been
cut throughout the state, and much
OF the hay yet remains to be harvest
ed, many farmers having been com
PEELED to cease their haying opera
tons for the purpose of taking care
of their rapidly ripening small grain
crops. When they have completed
harvesting their small grain they will
resume their haying operations. II
is estimated that the hay production
of South Dakota this year will repre-
sent a value of not less than $685.

Corn continues to make rapid
growth, and is about three weeks in

Busy Scenes i'm South Dakota Grain
Fields.


Sioux Falls, July 1S.-The hot
weather of the past week has pushed
small grain throughout South Dakota
to maturity very rapidly, and har-
vesting operations as a result have
come on with a rush.
Many fields of early small grain
were harvested last week, but this
week, because of the hot days and
the rapid ~ripening of the grain, har-
vesting is becoming general through
out the greater part of the southern
section. and is commencing in the
northern portion.
In some sections of the central
part of the state small grain was in
jured to some extent by the exces-
sively hot weather, especially of last
Saturday, when the temperature
reached 100 degrees in the shade and
there was little wind blowing. The
berries of the small grain in the sec
tons alluded to was shrunken by the
heat and the yield will not be up to
the expectations of two weeks ago,
when conditions were ideal.
Notwithstanding that the yield OF
small grain will be decreased in the
| sections mentioned, the crop of small
