Pier-e.-The strain of being good a
long time is too much for even a com.
petent Indian.
Last week Secretary of the Interior
Franklin X. Lane came west to confer
the degree of citizenship on several
Indians of middle west reservations
who had been declared competent to
manage their own affairs. The secre-
tary conducted the ceremony at Green
wood, S. D., and later similar ceremo-
MES were held at Ponca, Neb., head
quarters of the Santee reservation,
One OF the acts of the ceremony was
the shooting of an arrow into the air
by the leader of the new citizen In
dams. The Indian chosen for this
great honor at Ponca was Moses Red
Owl. Day School Inspector S. Toledo
Sherry, who made an address at the
ceremony referred to him as the
Moses who was to help lead the red
men into citizenship.
Moses got his citizenship and his
land patent and the next day he start
ed TO celebrate. He crossed the river
to Springfield, S. d., where he INDUCED
in a lot of red liquor. He got drunk,
was arrested and landed in the bastile.
Thus Moses proved his anxiety to en-
ulate the white man in every little par
ticular.
Over 100 new patents to farms in
South Dakota have been issued to com.
petent Indians at the Yankton reserva-
ton since Secretary of the Interior

secretary's visit $50 patents were is.
sued, so now more than $50 Indians in
South Dakota their own farms
with no strings attached to their own
| ership.
Thirty-four Indians who had been
declared competent were refused their
land patents by Secretary Lane be-
u he had been informed that they
had made contracts to sell the land to
land sharks as soon as they should re-
ceive title. The secretary had been
warned by telegram by Homer w.
'ohiooh VI olOuA Slty, anu OtueIs'
that land sharks were preparing to
make victims of the Indians. When
he arrived at Greenwood he held an
all night hearing, calling many of the
Indians 10 testify. One OF them ad
mitted it and then 33 others con
fessed to having made deals to dis
pose of their lands. These "a were
refused patents, and the secretary
urged the Indians to hold their lands
as long as they lived.

MAKING a Hens Nest.

Next time you find a nest of eggs
which a hen has stolen away, take a
lesson in the proper architecture of
such a structure. 1t may save a few
broken eggs or a poor hatch the next
time you proceed to set a hen in your
own clumsy, human fashion. The key
note Of the stolen nest is it's %fiattened,

shallow enough to permit a hen to
turn her eggs properly. 1t should be

Matched chicks to lie where they are
when released from the shell, instead
of sliding down into the bottom and
having the eggs roll on top of them

OF Filipino Embroidery and Lace, II
May Easily Be Fashioned In
Half a Day.

Everybody admires a dainty blouse
and nearly every woman is able to
make one for herself ii she can gel
just the right sort of material. But
for the busy woman, at any rate, there
must be some inducement to warrant
the time and work that go to the max
ing of eve the simplest waist.
Filipino hand embroidered blouse
patterns can now be got for $3.50, or,
with deliberately embroidered collars,
for $3.50. With the addition of 1h
yards of mercerized batiste at rs cents
a yard, 4 yards of insertion at IS cents,
and ~ yards Of lace edging at 25
cents a yard, materials for a lovely
blouse a be got together.
A little blouse of this sort, made by
a girl who is In an Office all day, was
edged up and down the front and
around the square turnover collar
with inch and a half calais val lace.
The back was made in batiste. panels
alternating with lace insertion. The
narrow embroidered strip which came
with the pattern intended for a collar
was used as the central panel of the
back and the cuff pieces were let into
the sleeves lengthwise and bordered
by insertion to make deep cuffs. This
blouse was finished by hemstitching
around the tops Of the sleeves, to out
line the collar and cuffs and down the
front. This added a dollar to the cost,
but was just the necessary touch need
ed to make it complete. The girl spent
about five hours Of her evening time
at cutting out, whipping on the lace
and sewing up, and the entire cost was
$6.75.

Mitchell Wins In Court.

notwithstanding the decree of
the Dawson county Circuit court,
which awarded James Keen, Jr., of
Mitchell the sum OF 81, 800 in his suit
against the city of Mitchell, the state
supreme court has just handed down
an opinion which absolves the city
from payment of the judgment. The
suit was instituted by James Keen,
Sr.. for his son who is a minor, to
recover damages for personal injury
sustained by the lad because OF al
legged defect in one of the city streets.
The accident occurred on March 20.
1913, when young Keen was driving
a team of horses hitched to a farm
wagon with a double box: The boy
was standing or top of the load near
the middle Of the box. While driving
in this position, he was thrown to the
ground as the front wheels of the wag.

across the street. Both bones in one
of his arms at a point two inches
above the wrist joint were broken.

The Freedom of the CITY.

The custom of granting to a distin-
guished visitor the privilege connect
ed with municipal citizenship" which
is known as comforting the freedom
of the city" obtains in both America
and European cities. The practice is
to enter the names of such honorary
citizens" upon the register Of munich
pal electors, but they are not actually
entitled to exercise the franchise or
to become members of the city's gov
erning bodies. The custom amounts
nowadays to little more than a pub
lie expression Of esteem, but it's his
tory goes back to the medieval days
when it was a notable and valuable
gift. When the custom originated
there was no general recognition Of
the right Of freedom of domicile, and
cities were more like private corpora
tions with restricted membership
than our modern cities. Such men,
bership-municipal citizenship - was
usually obtained only after a long
period of apprenticeship to one of
the recognized guilds, followed by ex-
animation, and enrolment as a mas
ter workman" In such circumstances,
the immediate and unencumbered gift
of 'the freedom of the city by the
vote Of the magistrates was a con-
siderable favor, and it was only grant
ed to persons whose wealth or re-
nown made their citizenship substan-
TALLY desirable to the other burghers

Mrs. A. Norbero Ends Life.

Sioux Falls.-Mrs. Albert Norberg,
wife of a well known Sioux Falls

the train was SO close upon her that

had returned from a sanitarium and
it is supposed she committed the act
while temporarily d%eranged.

Want a Rridue.

Pierre.-Residents of the towns
along the lines of the Milwaukee road
west of the Missouri river are asking
for action on the construction of a
bridge across the Cheyenne river at
some point contiguous to that terri
tory. There is no bridge across that
stream between Wasta and the mouth
Of the river, and autos in many cases
find crossing extremely difficult. The
people about Bridger, near the corner
of Ziebach county, are asking for just
action on the part of the authorities
of Meade, Ziebach, Pennington and
Haakon counties for a bridge at the
point where the line between Ziebach
and Meade counties reaches the river
on the north, and the line between
Haakon and Pennington touches it on
the south.

@ A SMALL HALL

The hall piece that is now banished
by fashion Is the hat rack-the poor
old thing! Think Of being banished
after years of such faithful serviceIi
And by some sort of reactionary prin-
ciple the piece that is reclaimed from
Ubiquitous desuetude is the wardrobe.
Not only movable hat racks but the
built-in type of thing, the looking glass
with hooks at each side and arms ex-
tended In embracing curves to support
willy wet umbrellas-old familiars,
that seemed downright essential to all
we'll regulated halls a year or so ago
are irrevocably doomed. The sad fact
must be faced: They have gone out
of style!"
In conformity with the general trend
toward better taste in home furnish
ing, nothing is allowable that has an
untidy air, and certainly nothing was
yer more untidy in appearance than
the hat rack burdened with a miscel-
laneous lot Of hats and wraps hang
ing in detected folds. and not only ex-
posed to view but, what was aver more
lamentable, exposed to dust. Unsight-
ly and unhygienic was the verdict
at the post-mortem.
II furnishings are elaborate through
out, the hall pieces are, of course, cor.
respondingly so. Simple taste often
calls for the most expensive materialA.
A hall may boast nothing more than
a good piece of tapestry, a fine gothic
chest, and a pair of torchienes. a pam
eled wall and mosaic floor, with a fine
pelt thrown down on tall this Is SIM
pie crough-only one piece of fur
niture really-yet its cost would COM
pletely furnish the average home.
We can always strike a happy me-
dunn. Instead Of O genuine tapestry
we a use an attractive little mirror,
one that will conform to the style I'm
which our furnishing is done. Below
this may be a table, with a chair at
either side, or, IL space forbids, q chair
on one side only. II is q great con-
venience to have a small clock, pre-
ferably an inexpensive little eight-day
clock. on the hall table. Here must
also rest the maids little silver card
receiver, and 1t is quite necessary that
the table should have a drawer and
that pen and ink. pencil and pad
should be kept in this drawer, so that
signing of receipts at the door for
parcels and notes. ETC.. can be attended
to without the confusion of having to
run around and look for writing ma
terials while a messenger waits.

Preferred Jail.

Madison.-After having served six
months in Jail because he would not
contribute $S a month to the support
of a child, of which the court last No.
vember decided he was the father,
Walter Dochnahl has been released
from custody. The case was heard
at the fall term of the circuit court,
upon the complaint Of Susie Bowman
of Ramona, mother of the child. Doch.
nahl said that he was not the father
of the child and declared that he
would rather languish in a cell than to
help support the little one. For a
long time it appeared as though he
would make good his threat, but after
a settlement had been made between
Dochnahl and the mother the man
was released.

the n projects from the surrounding
brick. This breaks up the otherwise
plain surface in a pleasing way.
The many windows of several differ.
ent sizes, with their white frames,
form an effective contrast with the
darker shingles and roof. Easement
windows are provided in the living
room, dining room and kitchen.
The living room and the dining
room are particularly good features Of
the room arrangement In this plan.
The living room Is entered from the
porch and extends along the front Of
the house, with a big fireplace located
in the end. It's general shape and ar
rangement is specially we'll suited to a
house of the bungalow type. 1t is
quite a little longer than 1t is wide
and the fireplace in the end makes it
seem even longer than It is.
The dining room Is connected to the
living room by a wide cased opening
and a colonnade. AS these two rooms
blend in together, the woodwork and
general plan of the rooms should be
designed to match so as to form a
harmonious combination. The design
of the builtin furniture, such as the
buffet and the bookcases on each side
of the fireplace, should be planned in
advance and a style selected that will
be suitable to both the rooms.
The lighting in these rooms will
make them the envy Of everyone.
Four windows open out from the din
ing room, and a nice decorative effect
is obtained by the window box. The
two outer windows of these four are
easements. In the living room a wide
window with a easement window on
each side opens onto the front porch.
Smaller windows are also placed over
each of the bookcases flanking the
fireplace.
The kitchen is placed directly be-
hind the dining room and is arranged
so as to be as useful and convenient
as possible. The design of this part
of the house has received as much at
tention as n of the other parts. 1t
is unusually well lighted, which will
be appreciated by anyone who has
gel worked in a dark kitchen. The
stairs to the basement are in this
room.

The bungalow shown here is de,
signed to be very suitable for a cold
climate. This result is secured by
building the bungalow far enough
above grade so that a good basement
can be constructed, with the necessary
heating plant.
The low effect Of the bungalow is
retained in a way that is used consid,
erably in all bungalow construction in
the colder climates. The foundation
Is not carried up to the level of the
main floor but is stopped at grade
with the woodwork used from this
point up to the caves. This type OF
construction often saves money, but
the main object in building In this
way Is to hold the building down as
close to the ground as possible in or
