early, it seemed. and We're
somewhere out in the storm A wilder
day would be hard to in2&gine; Il hurri-
cane was raging, the rain was whirled
ahead of it like charges Of shot. The
mountains behind kyak were invisible
and to seaWarl was nothing but dim,
ly discernible smother of foam and
spray, for the crests of the breakers
were snatched up and carried by the
wind The town was sodden; the
streets were running mud. Stovepipes
were down, tents lay nattened in the
mire, and the board houses were shak-
ing as if they might fly to pieces ut any
moment. The darkness was uncanny,
growing in violence.
When an hour or two had passed
with no word from the men Eliza an
nounced her intention of looking them
up. She h@l spent the time at Win
dow, strainng her eyes through the
welter, while Natalie had cured up
cozily with book in one of Trevor's
armchairs.
"But, dearie. you'll be drenched" ;"
Natalie looked up in surprise. Mr.
O'Neil is all right"

was difficult enough, even in the
Z shelter of the village, but not until
she had emerged upon the beach did
she meet the full strength Of the gale.
Here it wrapped her garments about
her limbs until she could scarcely
move. The rain came horizontally and
blinded her. The wind fairly snatched
her breath away and oppressed her
lungs like heavy weight. She shield
ed herself as best she could, and by
clinging to stationary objects and
watching her chance she managed to
work her way onward. At last she
caught sight Of O'Neil standing high
above the surf. facing the wind def
antly, as If daring it to unfoot him.
He saw her and came in answer to
her signal. But to breast that wind
was like stemming a rushing torrent
and when he reached her side he was
painting.
"Child, what are you doing here?"
he demanded.

shouted back. you've been out since

REMAINS TO BE BROUGHT HOME

Many of the "old time" publishers
and a great many South Dakotans will
remember dad" Osbon, of the How
ard Spirit, and will be interested in
the following story which comes from
Washington. Many of them know of
his jealous work in filling up the
ranks of the South Dakota regiment in
the spring of '98,, Dad himself furnish
ing two sons for the regiment. One Of
these sons, Wilson NJ, died of small
pox while in the service in the Phil
ippines. The other son, Orman X,
completing his term of service in the
South Dakota regiment, enlisted in the
Thirty-sixth Regiment United States
Volunteers, and having completed his
full term of enlistment. became a most
efficient teacher among the Filipinos.
He lost his life helping defend the
town of Bolinao against a marauding
band of ladrones. The body of Will
son NJ, had been brought back and
buried in the national cemetery at
San Francisco but there was no pro-
vision of law under which the remains
of Orman could be brought back and
re-interred beside those of his brother,
for the reason that he was in the civil
service Of the government when he
died.
With this as a situation, Senator
Sterling introduced an amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill ap-
propriating 5000 for such purpose. The
amendment was subject to the point Of
order which was raised against it but
the senator had the secretary of state
read a letter which he had received
from Mr.. Osbon, r%ecounting the SER
vice OF his son On hearing the letter
read the senator who had made the
point Of order withdrew the same and
the amendment prevailed and was one
Of the few senate amendments which
was retained in the bill by the con
ferees of the two houses.
Dad Osbon has done his part in
patriotic service. In addition to Civ
ing his two boys to the service Of the
country, he himself was a soldier Of
the civil war, having enlisted at the
age of is in October, 1852, and serv-
ing until the close of the war.
The proceedings OF the senate with
a copy of Mr.. Osbon's letter will be
found on page 1852 of the congress
sional record for June 81.

Clear Lake Courier:-For thirty-fve
years the Brookings Register, aside
from the college of that town, has been
the best asset Brookings possessed.
The paper had a birthday last week
and is now in its thirty-sixth year. The
Register Is the handsomest paper typo
graphically that ZONES to this office,
and a paper which takes so much
pains with it's makeup and up-to-date
type features is usually not deficient
in it's editorial and local news matter,
and the Register is M exception to
the rule. We trust the paper may pro-
gress for thirty more years under its
present management.

JuStTWO Kinds of
Men in
By J. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager Of Wanamaker's, Philadelphia
Mix & Gross mar

Financially, there are just two kinds Of men in the world; those
who constantly figure upon the principal Of their money and those
who deal with the interest on the principal.
The one kind of man throws away ten dollars carelessly and
says, whats the difference. 1t is only a ten dollar bill"
The other holds on to that ten and says, "Ten dollars is the
interest at 5 per cent on a capital of two hundred dollars"
One man figures on how much ten dollars will buy. The
other man figures on how much it would cost him to buy ten
dollars.
A difference of principal and interest-that is all.
Yet the principalfgure is not the principle fgurer in life.
Indeed, he counts for very little except when he is spending that
ten. No one comes to him with opportunities. No one considers
him as a possible investor in anything good. Money always
passes him quietly by.
And yet this is all a simple habit of mind. The difference
between financial success and financial failure is only a little
trick of the brain.
And the habit of figuring interest-the habit of figuring
every dollar you spend as the interest on twenty times that
amount at five per cent, is very easily learned.
Try it now in the personal things you are going out to buy. If
you need a suit of clothes, look through the advertising in this
paper. See where you can save five dollars, and then say to
yourself, 81 am not merely saving five dollars by buying a suit of
clothes from this advertisement; am saving the amount which one
hundred dollars would earn if it worked at five per cent interest for
a whole year"
That's the thing that brings you to your muttons. That's
the thing that makes you stop and think.
Now these good sales are going on all through this paper.
You can save money on anything you buy. Your clothes, your shoes,
your shirts, your household goods-all, offer moneysaving oppor.
tunities in these sales.
Why, you can%ave the interest on at least five hundred dol
lars if you will only 60 at it right. And show me the man to
whom five hundred dollars is not a capital worth considering?
lnterest-that is the thing to figure on always. And the way
to save the interest on a lot of money is to watch the advertising
in this paper day by day and do your buying from these sales.

OF DANGER

st. Paul Dispatch:-The admin
istration Is said to be entertain
ing a plan of encouraging Amer
lean bankers to make loans to the Car
rama government which will put it on
its feet and enable it to quell what dis
sension still confronts it. The test Of
the plan, Of course, will be in its eff
cacy to assist law and order in Mexico
without further involving the United
States and the interests of its citizens.
There Is very important phase of
the subject to be considered If future
complications are to be avoided. If
our government commits itself to the
Endorsement of a private loan to Car
rama, it commits itself un~equivocally
to the cause of the Carranza govern
ment. The redemption of the loan
must entail the success and integrity
Of the Carranzistas. In case the de
facto government should totter and
fall, which it has often been neal do
Ing, Intervention for the collection Of
the loan would be unavoidable unless
Congress saw fit to avoid war by SIM
ply making good the amount from the
treasury Of the United States.
Furthermore, in case the United
States should thus commit itself, would
1t not furnish encouragement to Amer
lean interests with investments in Mex
leo to stir hp trouble that would force
Intervention? With some tens of mil
lions planted In a loan down in Mexico
the harping on the rights of American
citizens and American property abroad
would wax the louder and become. a
stronger factor In politics.
We hope to set Mexico on her feet
and We are DESTROYS Of abetting any
safe plan that will accomplish the pur-
pose-we" referring to all peace-lov-
Ing American citixens. And II II pos
s1ble TIE loan plan may contain the
ele(penta Of success. But before the
noyernmenk commits itself to the
t1herne u should take full account Of
~ sIeunsfas q danger.

on: The Evidence that Christianity

look the witness to the fact of the
Power Of Christ in the lives of men

brand as heterodox and who are them
selves W that they are living
wholesome lives are in reality bearing
about the marks of a Christian. These
should be out and out for Christ and
His cause In this day when hate and
prejudice are having their last fling on
the field of blood the like Of which the
world has never seen, all good men

that they may convince those who do
not now believe in Christ, that there
is real power and beauty in the Chris
tian life. The differences that have
separated us have done more to hinder
the Kingdom Of God than all the books
of infidels. The petty jealousies that
have insisted on holding a place in our
