Pierre. S. D., May 24.-On the repub-
llcan g~ubernatorlal contest South Da-
kota registered at the primary yester-
day in harmony with general expecta-
tons. Political authorities have agreed
that it was only a question Of the size
of Peter Norbeck's majority over the
other republican candidates. r. o.
Richards and George w. Egan. From
the incomplete returns at hand 1t seems
quite sure that Norbeck has received
more than twice as many votes as the
combined showing for Richards and
Egan.
The democratic gubernatorial con"
test, as expected, has developed a rath-
er Snug" battle between E. D. Nor
com and Orville Rhinehart. Although
Rhinehart had the lead in the northern
and western counties, the Morcom vote
in the heavier populated districts in the
southeastern part Of the state seems to
have been strong enough to give Nor
com the nomination n a victory for
the Johnson-Coffey forces.
State Senator w. H. McMaster, of
Yankton county. apparently has won
the republican nomination for lieuten-
ant governor by an easy margin. This
result was in line with expectations
throughout the campaign.

Tell me about it, dear" Julia urged
gently. Was her sister going to con.

Caryl told all that she thought it
best to tell emitting any mention of

the smell of liquor on the girls breath
noticed this omission, and knew Caryl

she was telling. She longed to warn
the child before it was too late. But
how to do it? Tactfully, she drew
her companions attention to the fact
that the man who had taken her
driving was a rich, educated man,
while she was but a poor steno-
grapher. 1t would be wiser, she coun-
seled, for a girl in such a position to
be sure what the intentions of man
were before receiving favors from
him. Caryl disagreed strenuously
and the alteration continued until
they had reached the New York side
of the river.
You mean" said Caryl holly, as
they crossed the square toward the
downtown car, that l must make up
my mind never to know a real gen
tleman?"

say that. l only claim that a poor
none-too-Well-edu girl, in our
class, should not accept the seeming
devotion or the marked attention of a
man in a circle much above her."

flourish as he ran by them.

Hello, Mr.. Rooster" said Mr. Dog;

Why wouldn't l look unhappy"
replied Mr. Rooster; here I have
been on this farm and looking after
all those silly hens these long years,
and this morning the master he wish
ed the fox had got me last night in
stead of the hen he carried off l tell
you it is hard luck, after all l have
done for the master"
Come with u.s." said Mr. Tom Cat
I'VE are running away; the cook
chased me out this morning because
happened to sleep all night and
didn't catch the mice, and Mr. Dog
was blamed because the fox got into
your home last nights We are not
appreciated around here, that is plain
Will you come along?"
Il had never thought of running

from under the fence and Tapping the
dust from his wings, but I think l
like the idea of running away. l will
go along with you. Perhaps the mas
ter and those foolish hens of mine will
begin to think what fine fellow am
and wish I had not gone Where are
you going?"

will find us" said Mr.. Tom Cat, run
ming ahead.
"Mr. Dog and Mr.. Rooster followed
Mr.. Tom Cat, and soon they were in
the woods where the bushes grew
thick and the trees shut out the sun.
Here we are" said Mr. Tom Cat;
now no one will find us and we can
rest in ease"
Il have not had my breakfast" said
Mr.. Rooster, scratching the ground.
Neither have we," said Mr. Tom
Cat, but I have heard somewhere
that you should not think of your
troubles and they will not bother you,
so suppose we each tell story to
take up the time and also take our
minds off of the thought that we have
not had our breakfast. You begin, Mr..
Dog, because you are such a good

Mr.. Dog looked very wise and
scratched his head as if he was think
ing very hard.
