Rapid City.-A local publishing

in dwellings, school houses and in the
open. The program for the coming
convention is an unusually strong one.

WAS NOT A SEA SERPENT
American Museum Gets Picture Of
Harmless Shark, Mistaken
for Monster.

Stories of persons having sighted
sea serpents and other monsters of
the deep reach The officials Of the
American Museum of Natural History
frequently. most of Them coming in
the form of letters during the sum-
mer months, when persons more Ia
miliar with business offices or their
homes than with the inhabitants OF
the sea are attracted to the resorts.
Most of the letters are based on
hearsay evidence. and so it was with
some surprise that DR.. F. A. Lucas,
the director of the museum, read In
one of the letters that an actual pho
tograph of the sea serpent whose &C
tions were described was being for
warded under separate cover. He
awaited the arrival of the photograph
eagerly. The letter which preceded 1t
said that the sea serpent had made
its appearance at the eastern end OF
Long island and that it had whipped
and churned the water near the spot
at which it appeared for nearly an
hour.
Occasionally it's huge tail could be
seen above the water: at other times
two or three sections of its writhing.
dark body could be seen at once. One
of the spectators who had fed to the
shore from q small boat procured
kodak and snapped the monster as
conclusive evidence that sea serpents
did exist.
The photograph arrived in the next
days mail, however, and Doctor LII
cas- found it to be not sea serpent
but what is known as "thrasher"
shark, a species which. it is said. Is
more afraid of man than man is OF it.
Its name is derived from the manner
in which it thrashes about in the wa
ter with its huge tail.

Trent-The rapid increase in the
value of farm land in this part of the
Big Sioux river valley is shown by sew
sral recent incidents. For instance, in
some parts of Moody county, in the
Trent territory, farm land 10 years
ago was considered high at from $40
to $50 an acre. The price has more
than doubled in the ten years inter-
vening. A farmer living near Trent
recently refused an offer of $3.50 an
acre for his farm of 800 acres. The
intending purchaser was prepared to
pay cash, but nevertheless the offer
was refused. Another farmer who
owns fine farm of about 300 acres
near Dell Rapids, has just refused an
offer of SITS an acre for his land. AT
the present rate of advancement it is
expected it will not be many years
until sales of farm land in this Sec
ton of the Sioux valley at 5000 an acre
will be quite common. To the fact
that the territory has not had a CON-
plete crop failure for 20 years or more
is due the steady advance in the price
of farm land.

PROPER CARE OF EMBROIDERY
Articles will Not Wear Well If They
Are Not Given the Attention
They Require.

Many women complain that their
embroidered linens do not wear we'll.
These women, however, confess. after
they have been questioned. that they
do not take the proper care of their
embroidered articles.
In the first place. it is mistake to
put embroidered pieces in with the
regular wash. They should be washed
by themselves in an earthen bowl. to
avoid the possibility of rust or other
stain. Fairly hot water and a pure
soap should be used and the material
should be washed quickly.
The soiled portions Of the linen
should be rubbed gently between the
hands and not rubbed on board.
After rinsing the articles in clean
water, lay each piece fat between two
dry towels or thick linen cloths. Roll
the piece up in these, so that no part
Of the embroidery can touch any other
part Of the same linen. Leave for ten
or fifteen minutes, then lay the piece,

He then tied whip lash Tight,

the reputation of the young scientist
was made. Now he made the ball
speed like lightning until it smoked

graceful serpentine curve. How mar

seen for the first time in that part
of the world! The mysteries of the
spitball held the populace in thrall.
They shouted for more. When the

Then it was that they drew from

of this vicinity, when he was thrown

that they really we're playing It.
There were nine players to a side,

Senior, who was then taking his day

There came over the features Of the
Santo DOMINICAN an incredulous smile.
He called the manager of the team
and said that the gentleman from the
States would be glad to show how
the great game was played.

Just about forty seconds after that

his fingers and then turned tornado.
