Girl Shifts Selection.

Scotland.-After all arrangements
had been made for the wedding,
Charles Bridge, a Rapid City man, dis.
covered that his bride.to-be, or to-
have-been, had eloped with another
man. The girl to whom he expected
to be married was Miss YIilda Ham
mond of Scotland. Several days be-
fore the time fixed for the ceremony
Bridge arrived in Scotland and aided
in completing preparations for the
wedding. The guests had been in
vited to the reception and everything
had been planned and arranged for
the expected happy event. Then ru.
mors began to be circulated that the
girl never would become his bride,
and as a elimination it was announced
that she had gone to Tyndall with Alan
Zolnowsky, a rising young man of
Bon Homme county, and that they had
been married. The Tilted Rapid City
man and members of the brides fami-
ly knew nothing OF what was hap
pening until after the elopers had made
their escape. When guests were as
sembling for the marriage of Bridge
and the girl, news came that the girl
and the other man had been married
at Tyndall.

Norman Tower laid Bare.

A London letter says there has been
a curious result Of n of the fires
caused by ~suffragettes in 1914. The
fire in question practically destroyed
the historic church Of st. Mary at
Wargrave. near Henley, which, among
other interesting objects, contained
the tomb of Thomas Day, the author.
The church is now being rebuilt. In
the restoration of the tower it was
found that the present casing of red
brick Is only a covering for the origi.
nal Norman tower. The latter proves
to be a very fine example of Norman
architecture-one of the best, in the
opinion of experts. existing in Eng.
land.
When the tower was cased with red
brick is a mystery, but the work was
probably done in the reign of Henry
VII or that of Henry VIII. Among 9th.
er discoveries made as a result of the
performance Of the suffragette larson
squad are a number of vaults under
the chancel, OF which no one had
guessed the existence.

FLAVOR FOR WINTER MENUS
Few Things Are Better Than the e.
derberry-How to Use 1t to the
Best Advantage.

E~lderberries are not eaten very
widely, but they possess a delightful
flavor, and the housekeeper with time
and elderberries-on her hands will
do well to preserve them in several
different ways, for they will furnish
an unusual flavor to her winter menus.
Grape and E%iderberry Preserve
This is delicious. To make it allow
equal quantities of elderberries and
grapes and use a grape with decided,
even tart, flavor, for the sweetness of
the elderberry makes up for much
tartness of grape. The grapes must
be opened with a very sharp knife
and the seeds must be removed. AL
low as much sugar as the elderberries
and grapes together weigh. Put the
fruit in a preserving kettle and barely
cover with cold water. Bring to the
boiling point. skim and add a fourth
Of the sugar. Bring to the boiling
point again. add another quarter OF
the sugar and boil for 20 minutes. Re.
peat until the sugar is all used and
then boil until a little of the strip jcl-
lies on a plate on the ice.
Pack into jars. Be careful not to
break the grapes more than is abso-
lutely necessary in the cooking.
EIderberry Jelly.-For this use half
as much wild green grape juice as
elderberry juice. Use a pound Of sug-
ar to each of Juice and cook, skim
ming as the strip SINNERS, until 1t
iellies when tested on ice.
Elder Blossom Wine. Pick from
the stems enough blossoms to fill a
quart measure when pressed down;
add one gallon of cold water and steep
o. hours. Strain and add four
pounds of sugar, three sliced lemons
ard. m cup Of yeast. Set away for
two weeks, then strain carefully, pour
into a jug and, after several months.
bottle.
Canned EIderberries.-One peck Of
firm, ripe elderberries and one pint OF
strong vinegar, three pounds of brown
sugar and n quart of molasses. Boil
all together for five or ten minutes
and bottle. The elderberries should
be measured after picking from the
stems.

STRANGE Suit at Clear Lake.

Clear Lake.-One of the strangest
suits ever instituted in the state cir
cult court anywhere in South Dakota
was instituted in the circuit court in
this city, when Mrs. Charles Green
of Clear Lake swore out a warrant for
the arrest Of Fred Albright of Gary,
on the charge of adultery. The strange
part of the proceeding is that Mrs.
Green admits that she was the other
party to the alleged offense. Albright
was arrested and brought to Clear
Lake, and when he appeared before
Judge Almond for his preliminary
hearing, Mrs. Green in open court tes-
titled against him and admitted her
connection with the offense. On her
testimony and that of another witness,
Albright was held for trial in the state
circuit court, being released on a bond
of $500. The commencement of this
strange case is a sequel to a recent
sensational episode in Clear Lake.
gorwing out of the visit to the city Of
Albright, who came quite late at night
in an automobile for the alleged pur-
pose of visiting the woman who is the
complaining witness against him.
Some Of the male relatives of the
woman waylaid the Gary man and
gave him a severe beating, he being
glad to escape to his automobile and
make a dash back to Gary.

"A MEXICAN Is A BLUFFER.s
e. ?aso Man, Visiting In State. Does
Not Think Much Of Mexicars.

Rapid City.-"A Mexican is a bluff
err and he has a yellow streak just as
wide as he is himself" This is the
expert opinion of E. G.. Taylor of Ell
Paso. Tex, who at present is visiting
in this part of South Dakota. Himself
and brother are engaged in the cattle
business-or were so engaged-at a
point near Columbia. JuareZ, 175
miles southeast of Juarez, Mexico.
He has lived in Mexico for a period
of q years, and therefore Is familiar
with the Mexican character. Himself
and brother finally have been compell-
ed to cease business in Mexico because
of the activities of bandits. Early in
the disturbance himself and brother
sold off most of their stock and since
that time bandits have taken the re-
mainder, including a fine bunch of
horses. At the present time he has
left on the ranch only two mich cows.
Mr.. Taylor talked Interestingly OF
conditions in the southern republic,
and expressed his views as to what
should be done to bring about a last
ing peace.
"A Mexican" sad he, never COM
promises and the only sure way to
handle him is to whip him and keep
him whipped. Diaz knew this, and
this knowledge exercised made him
Mexico's greatest president. All Mex
leans are grafters and the desire for
graft is prolonging the state Of an
archy which now axistS
villa is defeated. Carranza Is
most powerful in Mexico today as
far as armies are concerned, but he is
uncompromising. as is in evidence by
his treatment of President Wilson's
peace offers. Villa is more diplomatic.
Realizing that he is whipped, Villa
throws in with Wilson and the South
American republics. The people are
tired Of the war; they want food and
clothing. Personally, | think interven-
ton is the only safe and sure way to
re-establish a stable government in
Mexico.
"This was demonstrated In the oc-
cupation Of Vera Cruz by United
States troops and marines. During
this occupation Vera Cruz enjoyed the
best period Of government it eve ex-
perienced. The people saw this and
the citizens of Mexico generally would
welcome Intervention by the United
| States"

PLEADS TO BE LOCKED UP.
Tells Farmer He Is Going Insane and
Later He Does.

A most unusual incident occurred
at the farm home of Ben Labrie near

the name of Stevenson, who had been
sleeping in the barn, went to the
house the other evening and asked
Mr.. Labrie if he could not sleep in
the house that night as he was sick,
He stated that he had gone to Brent
ford that day and had been doped by
men who got all his money away from
him. Mr.. Labrie made a bed upstairs
for the man.
Late that night Mr.. Labrie heard
Stevenson walking about upstairs and
venson hold him to telephone to Tur
ton and get the marshal as he was
growing insane. He said that while
he was in the barn he became beset
with the obsession to steal a team OF
horses, set fire to the barn and get
away, and that he had to force himself
to go to the house to keep from do
ing that.
He was so anxious to be taken to
town at once that Mr.. Labrie called
Marshal Swartout, who arrived at the
farm house at / o'clock in the morn
ing, took the man to town and locked
him up at his own request. The next
morning Stevenson was violently in
sane. An examination showed thai
the man had not been drinking, anc
also failed to reveal any signs Of dope
The Redfield authorities were mott
fed and the case taken up by them
Stevenson had been working for Mr.
Labrie for some time, and it is thought

 Jir7fny McAleer was the first pilot of the Maps, and held the job two seasons He was succeeded by w. R. Armour whom anaged the club from 1902 to 1904. Napoleon Lajoie held the helm from 1905 to 1909, but the great FFepchman didn't deliver the goods, and in 1909 he gave way to Jimmy Mcclure. In 1911 George Sto- vail had brief try at the ingIorious job, but in 1912 he turned over the -reins to Harry Davis. His reign was also marked by considerable brevity, and before the season ended Joe Bir- mingham was in charge.
