DESERTED infant
NEW BORN BABE LEFT AT A
LENNON HOME.

LennoX, Sept. 27.-A new born
baby boy was found on the porch of
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Gerken Saturday morning about $3.50
o'clock.
Mr.. Gerken, who for some reason.
had to get up about that hour of the
night, after opening the screen door
stubbed his toe against what appear
ed to be a pasteboard box. Mr.. Ger
ken being quite an old man, and the
night being dark he was unable to
discern what the obstruction was so
he gave it another little push, when
to his amaZement a faint cry issued
from the package. This startled Mr..
Gerken and he hustled back into the
house to call his wife to the scene.
Mrs. Gerken got out of bed as fast as
her declining years would permit,
lighted a lamp and gathered up the
mysterious looking package, and up
on examination it was found to on
tain a baby boy not over two hours
old. wrapped in an old piece Of blan-
ket without another stitch of clothes
on its body. The little fellow appar-
emily was none the worse off for his
early exposure. So far there is no
clew as to who the contributor is, as
nothing was found in or on the pack
age hat would furnish the least
trace of its origin. Mr.. and Mrs. S.
A. Young have taken the babe. to
their home with the intention of
adopting it as their own, as they
have no children.

TO BREAK WILL
son OF DAVID III. CLARK FILES
SUIT IN COURT-$1 900, 900
ESTATE INVOLVED.

Rapid City. Sept. 27.-An attempt
by the Sol to break the will of his
late father, David H.. Clark, one of
the wealthiest men in South Dakota
when he died at Pierre in 1891, has
been started in the circuit court here
by attorneys representing David H.
Clark, the son, and involves an es-
tate Of $1.000.000, in which the son
seeks a half interest.
The story told by young Clark is
one of romance and interest. Four
months ago he was working in a Min
neapolis garage with little knowledge
of his father, who died when the
young man was 5 years old. Last
mon, a friend of the father, CHANGED
upon the young man, who for the
first time then learned that he was
heir to the big estate.
When the senior Clark died he was
a member of the state legislature,
and the end was the result of heart
trouble. Attorneys for the young
man aver that a will was improperly
drawn with undue influence by one
William Gardner while Clark lay
semiconsciOus on his deathbed.
Gardner was named as one Of the ex-
ecutors, together with the widow,
and, it is charged, Gardner then went
to reside at Mrs. Clark's home and a
year later married her. The will left
everything to Mrs. Clark without
mentioning the son, although 1t is
charged the father frequently stated
that he intended to provide suitably
for the son.
The suit further alleges that Gard
ner sold much of the property, part
of which was lands in Iowa now said
to be worth 100000, and that when
young Clark was 13 years old his
mother and her husband. Gardner,
removed to Minnesota in order to get
him out Of touch with his fathers
old friends, who might enlighten him
as to the true circumstances connect
ed with the estate.
Young Clark is at present in Iowa.

branches of agriculture have been ex-
tensive. the ranch itself has never
been regarded a money maker.
Some years ago when times were less
prosperous, Bullock nearly lost it
through foreclosure, but managed to
pull through and has now sold it for
close TO 500, 600, on which he ex-
poets to retire from active work.
Col. Roosevelt, who has long been
an intimate friend of Bullock, whom
he appointed the first supervisor of
the Black Hills national forest, has
been frequently entertained on the
ranch and some years ago it was cur
rently reported that he was financial
ly interested in the property, but this
has been denied. Roosevelt's sons
on their western tours, have visited
the ranch and on numerous occasions
shot the festive prairie chicken on
its reaches.
The beet sugar factory itself will
not be completed and ready for bust
ness until 1918, but arrangements
are already being made by the com
pany with farmers throughout the ir-
rigated district to contract for 2,00O
acres of beets for 1917 and 5000
acres for 1918 and it is expected that
considerable preliminary building
will be commenced in the spring
The factory will give employment tc
several hundred more men and de.

trict.

Antiquity Of Shorthand.

Shorthand is apt to be looked upon
as an essentially modern art. The
predecessors of Pitman-Byrom in the
eighteenth century. Mason in the sew
enteenth-are dim and distant figures
beyond which it seems useless to ven
ture. Cicero dictated his orations to
his freedman, T. Tullius Trio, and
was inconsolable when temporarily de-
prived of his services. He complained
in a letter to a friend that, while "Tiro
takes down whole phrases In a few
signs, Spintharus (his provisional sub
stitute) only writes in syllables." We
need not. however, suppose that the
"notae Tironianae" were actually in
vented by the freedman in question.
AS M. Guenin points out, the Romans
created very few of the arts of peace
contenting themselves, as a rule, by
copying from the Greeks. M. Guenin,
however, indicates the banks OF the
Nile as the cradle Of the art.

why Prince Albert Wins.

Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette
tobacco that they often marvel that
this one brand could be so different
from all others.
The answer to this question is
to be found on the reverse side of
every Prince Albert package, where
you will read: Process Patented
July 30th, 1907" That tells the
whole story. Prince Albert is made
by patented process that cuts out
the bite and parch, which makes the
tobacco SO mighty agreeable and
satisfying to men of every taste of
every civilized nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and
fortune in money to perfect. But
the result has proven to be worth
all that was expended upon it, be-
cause it has set free men who be-
lieved they never could enjoy pipe
or a makin's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible
for every man to smoke pipe or
to roll his own cigarettes. And, no
matter how tender the tongue,
Prince Albert cannot bite or parch.
That is cut out by the patented
process, leaving for the smoker only
the joys of the fragrant tobacco.
1t is a fact that since Prince
Albert arrived" just about six
years ago, it has made three men
smoke pipes where one smoked a
pine before!

SAFEGUARDING ROYALTY.

Precautions In oIden Days When an
English Monarch Was iii.
The British law retains some pecul-
lar provisions with reference to the
'.illness of the king" These provisions
are mere surviyals in the present set
tied order Of government, but there
was time when the kings incapacity
afforded opportunity to aspirants to
the throne to shorten his day at min
imum risk of detection. Accordingly
certain wise precautions were matters
of law.
In his institutes" Coke says: IF
the King be taken sick there ought to
be a warrant issue from the Privy
Council. addressed to certain physi-
clans and surgeons. authorizing them
to administer to the Royal patient po-
tones, syrupos. laxitayas, medicinas,
etc.; still, none of these should be CIV
en- except by consent and advice Of
the Council, and they ought to set
down in writing everything done and
administered, and they should COM
pound all drugs themselves and not
entrust their preparation to any apoth-
ecary."
Coke thus wrote of precedent in
1910, and today the law is practically
as he found it. although now the privy
council simply hears reports of the
progress of the kings malady and
leaves actual treatment entirely to the
physicians in direct charge of the case.

GET SOUND BREEDING STOCK TO
PRODUCE WINTER LAYERS.
ROY Il. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Let US begin now to prepare for q
flock that will produce eggs for us
next winter To many people chick
en- IL just a chicken. Little do they
stop to realize that the way chicken
Il made or build up determines to a
large extent its usefulness as layer.
Most persons realize pretty fully the
general requirements Of strong
building. They know that It is neces-
sary to have a solid foundation and
then that It Is essential to make each
step or section of the construction Just
as strong. They know that it does
not do any good to put lot of time,
energy, and expense into making the
top part Of a building substantial If
the foundation or lower part is, weak.
But these same people. many of them,
seem to forget these things when they
start building a flock of chickens,
which they expect will be strong
enough, and healthy enough to with
stand q severe winter and have enough
energy left to produce eggs.
The foundation Of the poultry flock
is the breeding stock. If it is i'll ma
tured, poor, sickly or improperly
nohrished it will be a waste of time to
try TO breed from it. The resulting
flock viii hardly pay for its keep. If
on the other hand your stock is well
matured. In good flesh, healthy and
properly nourished you have the prop
= a.. . a
production next winter.
It win pay most any one to take a
little trouble to select out a few of the
strongest and healthiest. most vigor-
GUS birds and save only eggs from
these for Matching. Sometimes It may
be best to Gull out the poor birds from
the flock and keep them separated
for time or what Is probably better
aell them fQr market Or eat them.

One of the projects or Minnesota
county farm bureau is to assist in
furnishing supply of tested seed
corn. The organization, 1t is report
ed, has stored 900 bushels of select
ed well-matured -corn of the 1915
crop and 400 bushels of the crop of
1914. One of the county fair build
ings was used as storage house,
a stove and electric fans being in
stalled to hasten the drying process.
IL is proposed to test the corn care
fully in the spring and sell it to the
farmers at actual cost. 1t is esti-
mated that there will be supply
sufficient to plant about 5000 acres,
or one-third of the ordinary acre
age of corn in the county.

In using the word "blunderbuss" we
unconsciously imply sense of dispar-

our forefathers contrasted with the
precision of the modern rifle. The
word itself has, however, terrible
enough meaning and disdains all con-
necton with ''blunder." "Blunder-
buss,' in fact, as we have it, is a
strange corruption-p perhaps not alto
gether untinged with the sense and
sound of "blunder"-of the old Dutch
word .'donderbuss." which can be lit
