The Real prosnector

Charles j. Lisle, in Scribner's: It
was only few years ago, when was
visiting in Montana, that l met one
of the real genus prospector. He
lived through the hard winter-God
knows how-nursing his rheumatism
and his hunger and his almost eighty
years of age, and a decrepit old pack
horse, through the forty-below zero
and the five foot drifts Of the long,
dreary winter. You would say he was
an absolute wreck, physical, mental;
that he lived on only because he was
too dead to forget to breathe. But
when the ice began TOT go out Of the
streams, and the bare rocks to peer
out from the snowy wastes, and the
grass to show green under the snow,
he expanded like brown bulb that
produces the beautiful lilies of spring.
Mister, have been rich half
dozen ti1pes, an I amt been as keer-
full as ! ort. But I'm goin' to strike
It richer this year than ever-1 jest
know it! Thar's patch of ground
back in the hills that's a wonder
an I need leetle grub stake for to
open it up. It'll make us rich-Son,
you hear that?-Rich! Ell you want
to, here's where you kin take a chance
that can't lose. The old mann win
yeti"
And the octogenarian miner, mar
ried to his hope of the gold that he
believes he will find, got his grub
stake-as. I doubt not, he has done
every year since from some one
who marvels at his boyish enthus-
iasm and recuperation. He never
found his elusive Golconda; il he had,
he would have sought me to the ends
Of the earth to divide according to
his promise-for these mems word is
as sacred as the word OF your moth
er or mine And do not believe he
is dead; indeed, doubt whether he
ever dies-at least until his dream is
fulfilled! Like the Wandering Jew
though gladly, lovingly bound by
his faith and not by his dreadful
doom-he must go on eternal in his
hope!

FORBIDDEN FRUIT.

| California fruit preserving interests are agl-
tated over the English embargo on the lmporta
ton of canned and dried fruits. About 70 per
cent. of the California fruit crop is dried; and
about IS per cent OF the apricot crop, AZ per
cent. Of the prune crop and large percentage OF
the pears are exported. In normal times these
exports go to England, Germany, France, Hol-
land, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. There
have been no direct shipments to Germany
since the beginning of the war, and neutral
countries, say the consular reports, are buying
cautiously on account Of high freight rates, and
because Of the various reasons likely to cause
delay in transit.
California fruit shippers have tried to de-
velop trade with South America, but the re
suit Of the effort has not been encouraging.
South and Central American buyers wish to
purchase on terms somewhat different from
those which obtain in European markets, and
the Californians appear not to be able at pres
ent to meet those terms. AS the demand for
dried fruits, excepting peaches and prunes, IN
the United States is limited, the westerners
are at their wits end to know how to dispose
of their products.
A representative of the California dried
fruitmen has been sent to England to lnvestl-
gate the conditions which caused the embargo
It is hardly necessary, however, to cross the
seas in order to find out the reason for the
British fruit embargo. England is not sur
feited with fruit, but she is hard put for ships.
The demands on her shipping facilities are I'M
precedented. Not only must she supply her
own wants, but to large extent those OF her
allies A large number of small craft have
been added to the British merchant marine,
and number of others are being built. K the
meantime, however, the number of ships is linn
tied, and certain commodities, such grain
and supplies. must be transported. The
English authorities decided that among the
things that could be dispensed with are fruits.
Although the British probably want canned
and dried fruits as much as the Californians
would like to sell those articles, they must do
without until way is found to relieve the
present shortage of ship bottoms.

Well kno1un Remedy
Relieves Chronic Case
important to Dispose Of Waste from
the Stomach With
Regularity.

People frequently attribute to fail
ure of the digestive organs conditions
that are primarily due to inactive
bowels, and apply remedies that from
their very nature are more apt to az
gravate than to relieve the disorder.
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to perform
its allotted tasks and can usually be
depended. upon. To keep the bowels
in condition, there is no more effec-
tive remedy than the combination Of
simple laxative herbs known as DR..
Caldwells Syrup of Pepsin which is
sold in drug stores for fifty cents a
bottle.
Dr.. Caldwell has prescribed this
remedy in his practice for over a
quarter of century and 1t is today
the standard household remedy in
thousands OF homes. Mr.. Thos. De-
Loach, with the Department of the
Interior, Office Of Indian Affairs, at
Washington, wrote DR.. Caldwell re-

DISPLAY THE FLAG.

There are several days in the year, and
there always will be, when it is proper and de-
sirable that natural feelings of patriotism be
manifested by the display of the Stars and
Stripes, the symbol of the nation, on public,
commercial buildings, residences and where
ever the flag can be effectively placed. But
there is only day in the year, and that day
will all too soon pass, when it is possible fit
tingly to honor the brave men and the memory
of their comrades who have gone before, who
offered their lives that this land might be pre-
served to an undivided people with an unsullied
flag. That one day of increasing sacredness
is Memorial day-tomorrow. This little
the generous display of Old Glory-the general
public, the benefciaries of the sacrifices of the
veterans, may do and even this gentle hint may
not be necessary to result in such glow of the
colors in Keokuk will gladden. the hearts and
brighten the eyes Of the comrades"

ALL STEEL PASSENGER CARS.

Notwithstanding the fact that in one or two
of the recent railroad train collisions the all
steel passenger coach has Jared quite badly,
the growing tendency to substitute metal for
wood is becoming more and more pronounced.
Ia the accidents referred to conditions were
peculiar, and railway managers, generally
speaking, extol the merits of the metal car.
From statistics obtained by government
committee it appears that of 1,094 passenger
train cars under construction for the railroads
Of the United States on January l, 1916, 1,O75,
or 9S.3 per cent, were all steel. Sixteen, 1.5
per cent. were of steel under construction, and
only three cars were constructed of wood.
The change in the material used, in con-
structing railway cars Of steel, has come about
quickly. trials Of the new type of car having
demonstrated that a marked saving in life,
limb and property resulted from the change
from wood to metal. 1t was, now transpires,
an important forward step IN the campaign for
safety first. It is true that the initial cost of
construction adds considerably to the financial
load of railroad corporations; but the safety of
passengers, the greater immunity from acci~
dents and the prolonged life of the steel car
more than compensate for the greater original
cost.
The demands of the travelling public in the
matter of rapid rail transportation and in
creased comfort and luxury have had much to
do with the change Of material construction.
For once the demands of the public make for
the benefit of railway traffic managers. Any
thing that tends to the reduction of traffic
damage claims and long life for equipment ulti-
mately results in reducing the cost of operation.

The following speech on woman
suffrage was delivered by Uncle Dan
Miller before the Iowa state legis-
lature sixty years ago. The issue at
that remots period does not seem to
have changed materially from that of
the present campaign. When Uncle
Dan began public life, he advocated
the adjustment of three great evils
slavery Of negroes, slavery of whis-
key, and slavery of women. If Uncle
Dan were alive today, no doubt he
would rejoice over reforms" brought
about since his youthful effort" to
make the world good, and all on the
lines of his Slavery issues. But l
will let Uncle Dan do the rest of the
talking:
When the democratic party got so
straight on the slavery question that
1t leaned back went out Of it. Wo-
man brought knowledge into the
world. II it hadn't been for Eve.
Adam would yet be running around
Eden as naked as a baboon. That
tradition is only an allegory to show
that woman brought knowledge to the
world. The war of the revolution was
brought about by the same system
that in the present day prohibits wo-
men from the polls. 1t is tyranny to
tax without representation. When
look over this land and see the mil
lions Of tax payers who are not rep.
resented, like Jefferson l tremble for
my country. Why not give the wo-
men the right to vote? Is she not
more intelligent as many of the mil
lions Of absolute Doors that do vote?
Is she not more honest than the thou
sands of criminals among the men
who are not debarred from it? The
best poets of the day are women.
Some say, woman can't fight. That's
SO; dog can. All great men had
brainy women. England never had a
greater sovereign than Elizabeth.
Catherine OF Russia was second only
to one other Muscovite ruler. Wo-
men will always vote right on the
whiskey question. The man who now
objects to his wife. daughter or moth
er voting has some of the shell of old
barbarism still sticking on his back

ExTRAVAGANCE VS.. THRIFT.

The executive committee Of the American
Bankers association concludes from its investi-
CATION Of the matter that the people Of this
country are spending eight billion dollars an
nually for things they do not need or could get
along without.
As peoples go, we are unquest1onably ex-
travagant, thriftless or reckless in spending;
though it is far from easy in every case to draw
the line between expenditure which, consider
ing all the circumstances, is proper and profit
able and expenditure which can be justly
criticized. Extravaganza in money matters or
anything else is merely wandering beyond or
out of the usual normal or routine; and such
departure from the customary course OF pro-
cedure or action may be ill-advised and repre-
hensible, or it may prove to be the very best or
the most fortunate act Of lifetime. Any par
ticular act of extravaganza may or may not be
justified by the result, but wastefulness is al
ways to be censured; thriftlessness is never
commendable. and the habitual purchase of or
indulgence in needless things is much to be de-
plored.
And yet it must not be forgotten that per
son, family or community which bought
those things only it could not get along with
out would lead comfortless, Joyless, sordld
sort of life; and as a result hosts of people en-
gagged in making the really necessary things
would have to get out OF business or lnto olher
lines. The strict application OF the rule, buy
only what is indispensable" would result IN
cutting both ways. Somewhere between few
things and many, between few pleasures and
many and life given over to pleasuring. each
Individual must draw the line for himself.
There is happy medium in everything. Meth
er the miser nor the wasteful spender is de-
sirable citizen and it is not easy to say offhand
which one the world could best afford to lose.
It is evident that South Dakotans are becom-
