RECRUITING sERGEANTs.
They Were Picturesque Figures In
England In Former Days.

England In FORMER Jays.
1t wal in Dutch Williams reign,
with the reconstruction Of the army
and the rise of the line regiments,
that the recruiting sergeant first be-
came a notable figure in England
and throughout the campaigns Of
Marlborough and Wellington - in
deed, until after the Crimean war
he fourished exceedingly. He found
his way into the popular literature
and the ballads Of the eighteenth
century, appearing always with a
bluff manner, a powerful voice and
a pair Of immense top boots. He
was, in fact, a stock character of
comedy.
The classical work on the sub
ject, the fountain head of all mill
tary humor, is George Farquhar's
old comedy, "The Recruiting Off
cer," dating from the time of Queen
Anne. Here are Captain Plume,
the most dashing Of adventures,
with a fine judgment in recruits of
either sex, and Captain Brazen,
who was present at all the battles
in Flanders and had two and TWEEN
ty horses killed under him in one
day; and Mr.. Justice Balance, who
laments the scarcity of news from
the front: Look zee, captain, give
us but blood for our money, and
you shan't want men,"
But Sergeant Kite eclipses them
all. He has the true art of the re-
cruiting speech: "If any gentlemen,
soldiers or others, have a mind to
serve her majesty and pull down
the French king; if any 'prentices
have severe masters, any children
have undutiful parents; if any serv-
ants have too little wages, or any
husband too much wife, let them
repair to the noble Sergeant Kite,
at the sign of the Raven in this
good town of Shrewsbury, and they
shall receive present relief and en-
tertainment.
Gentlemen, | don't beat my
drums here to or inveigle
any man, for you must know, gen.
tlemen, that | am a man of honor.
Besides, l don't beat up for COM
mon soldiers. No, l list only gren-
adiers, gentlemen. Pray, gentle
men, observe this cap. This is the
cap of honor. 1t dubs a man a gen
tleman in the drawing of a tricker,
and he that has the good fortune to
be born six foot high was born to
be a great man."
1t is Kite who enlists an attor-
ney and is rebuked by his captain:
can attorney! Vert thou mad !?
Discharge him, discharge him in
~stantly. l will have nobody in my
company that can write. A fellow
that can write can draw petitions"
1t is Kite who entraps two yokcls
by a gift of "The Queens Portrait"
on silver pieces. 1t is Kite who
turns astrologer at a pinch and tells
fortunes, predicting the enlistment
of his clients. Thomas, the black
smith, he finds, was ''born under
Forceps," and his plan of the con-
stellations has a topical interest at
the present time, being LEO, Sagit-
t~arius, Forceps, Furnes, Dixmude,
Namur, Brussels, Charleroi and so
forth-twelve of 'em." A wonder
full fellow, indeed.-London Globe.

PETITIONS FOR
RE.HEAR|NG
Stanley County Asks Sup.
RENE Court to Change
Its Opinions In Three.
County Suit

Stanley county has taken the
next step in it's effort to hold
up the new counties of Haakon
and Jackson by filing a petition
in the supreme court asking for
a hearing on the original action.
There is nothing new in the
petition, except the list OF ad-
ditional counsel retained by that
county. The supreme court is
in substance asked to change its
opinions on the issues involved,
or at least withdraw those opim-
ions until the plaintiff can get
action in the court having pro-
per jurisdiction, Which counsel
for the mother county has so
far failed to locate.
The answer of the defendant
counties, which was filed this
week, brings out the fact that
Stanley county has already in
effect had one re-hearing. Fol
lowing the presentation Of facts
by both sides in the first hear
ing, and at a time when the
court had nearly completed
writing it's opinion, permission
was asked and granted the plain
tiff to file an additional brief
of some magnitude, so far at
least as the amount of manu-
script submitted.
Really, it seems as though
"the powers that be- down at
Fort Pierre are doing consider
able sluilmin'g. Together
with the defendant counties,
they invited determination OF
certain questions. Getting the
h,,nch that the case was not 60
ing their way, they came in
with additional briefs, present
ing other issues that they ask ed
should be determined. Now that
they find the opinion detrimen-
tai to their side of the case, they
ask the court to take it back.
1t need not be surprising ID.
later on Stanley county would
be found trying to break into

AN ACCREDITED
SCHOOL
Philip High School Receives
Certificate of ACCrcdit.
mcnt from State
Superintendent

Prof. O. G. Van Camp, super
intendent cf the city schools, is
in receipt of a certificate which
places Philip high school in the
list of accredited schools of the
state. The certificate was issned
by c. II. hlgg, superintendent Of
public instruction. In the accom-
panying letter Mr.. Lugg says:
II ann pleased to hand yoal here
with certificate of accredit-
ment for your high school. I con.
gratmlate you, your teachers.
your pupils and your board of
education upon having attained
this rank Of excellence. trust
that your present standard will
be maintained so that the future
will convince us that we have
made no mistake.
This means much to our school.
Henceforth it's graduates will be
accepted in the colleges of the
country without preparatory
work. Unless a pupil is a grad
uate of an accredited school, f1e
is usually required to take a One.
year preparatory course before
entering upon regular studies in
college.
To secure the accreditment it
has been necessary for much to
be done. The twelfth grade was
added this year. Teachers who
had completed four years Of col
lege work were secured az in
structoIs. The course of study
was arranged to cover several
necessary subjects. Laboratory
equipment costing several hum
d~d dollars was installed, and
the library is being built up to
very respectable proportions.
1t Is indeed an achievement
for which everyone concerned r.
entitled to congra tulations.

From the days of Plutarch
down to the present, nearly, if not
quite all of the great battles Of
the world have been followed by
heavy rains, which some theorists
have attributed to the conclusions
in the atmosphere produced by
the artillery. But there were no
cannon previous to the battle OF
Cressy in France. Possibly the
great stream of heat ascending
from vast bodies of struggling
men had something, to do with
the resulting rain. 1t has been
noticed in Florida that, during a
thunder storm, a herd Of cattle
crowded closely together is likely
to attract lightning.
