Where lavender and stately hollyhocks
Grow with some ragged robbins blue and trim
Sweet William and a bed OF pink-tipped phlox
Across the door sill struggling grasses stray
And on the door the knocker hangs forlorn
And many feet that time found their way
over the steps have left them family worn.
Seen through the diamond window panes inside
The candle droop the horsehair chairs
Ranged close against the wall display a wide
Stretch of rag carpet TO the dusty stairs.
The old clock silenced now for many week,
The quaint stitched sampler hanging unaware,

Important Suit Won.

Alexsndria.-An important decision
of the state supreme court was re-
ceived here concerning the ~indepen-
dent school district of this city. and
residents owning farm lands adjoining
the corporate limits of the city. A
number of years ago. Alvin Heller,
Christ Heinemann, Pat Wickham, w.
Brandt and George Gordon, parties
owning farm lands within the city of
Alexandria, petitioned to have their
lands segregated from the city corpor-
alton, and after considerable litigation
succeeded in obtaining such an order
from the courts. The parties then set
up that their lands were no longer a
part OF the independent school dis.
trict of Alexandria. and proceeded to
pay their school tax to the country
district adjoining the lands. After
litigation covering a period of a mum.
Der of years. the case was decided by
the supreme court of the state in ia
vor OF the independent school district,
and holding that the lands in question
were still a part of such district.

Bison.-There was an affecting
scene in the state circuit court here
June 1st when Absalom Shoop, a
youth, was sentenced to a term of one
year in the Sioux Falls ~penitentiary
on the charge OF grand larceny.
When called upon and asked If he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon him,
the youth arose and stated to the
our that he was not yet 10 years of
age; hat he had lived in this part of
the state for three years with his
father while the latter was perfect

his brothers had been required to steal
by their father, and had been misused
until the youngest son had been taken
from him by the authorities. Judge
Dillman gave the boy some fatherly
advice. and the prisoner in return
promised the court he would make
every endeavor to make a man Of him.

The crime for which he was sen.

M VOICE sY MAIL.
Method Of Canned Conversation" In
vented by Mitchell Man.

Mitchell.-Shirley K. Stout, of Nit
chell, is a genius, but if his invention
comes into general use Shirley f.
Stout is very likely to come into
mighty general disfavor with a great
many people.
Stout his invented canned conver-
sation." That is, Stout has just per-
fected a device whereby the human
voice can be transmitted onto a postal
card, sent through the mails and can
be produced for the benefit of the re-
ceiver.
Stout's invention is an ingenious
one, Taking a postal card of the usual
size with a small hole in the center,
the inventor coats the card with a
specially prepared compound wax. let's
the wax harden and then places the
card on a recording machine, where
he talks for a minute and a half into
the transmitter.
The card is then addressed and sent
through the mails. The recipient
places it on her ordinary disc phono-
graph. puts In a needle, and there is
the beloved voice in all its intensity,
recording the pleading words and
honeyed phrases, just as he would
have said them-had he not got an at
tack OF cold feet at the last minute.
and hit upon this ingenious device to
get him out of his dilemma. That is
the story OF the invention. it is al

The principa! feature OF this novel

from the ordinary recording and trans

II we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can. That
is only possible by selecting food that

Not knowing how to select the right
food to fit my needs, / suffered griev-
ously for a long time from stomach
trouble" writes a lady from a little
Western town.
1T seemed as IL I would never be
able to find out the sort of food that

Every attempt gave me heartburn and
filled my stomach with gas. l got thin

came a living skeleton and in time was
compelled to keep to my bed.
"A few months ago l was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and 1t had such
good effect from the very beginning
that l kept up its use. I was surprised
at the ease with which I digested II. 1t
proved to be just what / needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heartburn. the inflated feeling which
gave me SO much pain. disappeared.

SHOE TOKEN OF Subsection
Ancient Significance Of Custom Which
Is Not Looked Upon as
Merely a Joke.

As specially applied to weddings,
there is a suspicion that the throwing
OF old shoes-or new slippers, for all
that--had at first a significance which
would surely be most Objectionable to
notwithstanding brides. 1t seems to
have been a token of the complete
subsection of the bride to her lord
and master. In the East a shoe or a
slipper was publicly borne at the head
of the bridal procession In indication
OF b brides subsection, and at some
Jewish weddings the bridegroom used
to strike the bride a blow with his
shoe as a sign that she was thereafter
to be submissive to his will. Amonl
the HISTORIANS il was the custom, for
the bridegroom to kick the bride. and
for her to remove from his foot the
shoe with which he had kicked her.
To this day there is a common Gus.
tom in Russia for the bridegroom on
HIS wedding night to require the bride
to pull Off his boots. In one of them
is a whip, and In the other a gift. II
she pulls off first the one containing
the whip. she gets a stroke from the
lash. and is to expect fioggings there
after, but II the gift is first disclosed
her married life will be happy. 1t is
related Of Martin Luther that once.
after performing the wedding cere
mony for a couple, he took of the
bridegroom's shoe and placed 1t upon
the brides pillow, as a sign that she
should In all things and at all times
be ~subservient to her husband.

Rapid City.-According to those who
have been investigating conditions in
the vicinity of Bad river, where re.
cen floods caused general damage,
the ranchers and homesteaders for
miles around are heavy sufferers.
Many of the homesteaders in the sec
ton which is not thickly populated
lost everything they had. including
their homes, which were washed away.
They had planted extra heavily this
year on account of the continued rains,
after four years Of drought. A wall
Of water Is feet high came down sew
eral of the forks of the Bad river, TAX
ing everything in its vale, farm
houses, fences, live stock. and, at a
point near Cottonwood. the Harry
Smith homestead. where three lives
were lost. Harry Smith himself only
saved his life by hanging on to the
branches of a tree which he ncou
tered while being swept down the
stream. but his wife, daughter and
B. w. Kirkpatrick were drowned by
the flood. which caved in their home
like an eggshell during the night
while all were in bed. The Rapid City

track left soft and dangerous In 9th

the vicinity of Philip report that, as
far as could be learned, not a rancher
or homesteader close to the Bad river
and it's forks saved anything. and that
the toth damage will be in the thou
