 A few women wear well. But most of them wear off.
 When they are first married they have to hug and kiss for ten minutes in the hall before he can leave the house to go to work. But about a year later, when he says goodby in the morn ing, she turns one side Of her face to him and he pecks at 1t with his lips as if he was afraid he might touch it and get poisoned.
 Next to paying an old bar bill, pay ing for suit of clothes after it is worn out is the, hardest job.

 The reason why the debutante. in a self made family likes to hear her mother tell people about the time when she took in washing is because it tickles her all over to hear her father tell his friends about how they used to live in one room and had to use the bed as a dining table.
 There are not many sure things in the world. But one of them is that you will never get $1, GOO, GOO by sitting down and figuring what you would do with it if you had it.
 A single woman speaks of "the din ing room,'' H-the buffet or ''the rug" But g married woman speaks of my dining roon my buffet' and "my rug.''

Chamberlain. S. D.. Aug. 13.-The

power. mill at this place has reached
Its limit, 1t Is thought, as there has
been little change since Sunday. The
mill elevator stands intact except for a
wide earth crack which reaches up to
within a few feet of the building. The
south of the mill has dropped about six
feet. The engine is being tax en- from
the engine house today. 1t is now
thought both the elevator and mill will
be saved by moving them off this
dangerous site.
The electric light plant on the south
side of the American creek is now con-
sidered out of danger. The iron bridge
spanning American creek will be saved,
although the north approach and piers
are a complete wreck. BY Il careful in
spection it is found M other locality is
affected.

members until he regained conscious
ness today.
The bolt OF lightning cut all sorts of

neatly as though 1t nae been divided

burned off half the hair on one side OF
his head, one Of his eyebrows and half
his moustache and whiskers. Con-

body and legs, finally connecting with
the iron seat on the binder. where it
grounded. Rankin was knocked from
