THE NATIONAL DELEGATES.

1t doesn't particularly matter who the delegates from South
Dakota may happen to be in the national republican convention, so
long as they do not misrepresent the state.
The Saturday News doesn't think it is vital as to the per-
Esonnel OF the delegation. The chief point is with reference to rai-
ability, integrity, high character, good republicanism as distinguish
led from the bushwhacking variety.

CONCRETE BRIDGES,

The Saturday News is no bridge expert, but there is one thing
MAI Codlngton county has done which, we think, entities it to
credit throughout South Dakota and the northwest. 1t has shown
inc bridge trust that local men can construct bridges and for a
Pnce which saves the county money.
hnd the best part OF 1T is, according to the opinion of experts
nave gone on record to this effect, that a concrete bridge is
factcaly an everlasting affair, If made as it should be made,
me county board, in session last week, let the contract for three
srdges 20 pc constructed the coming season, John d. Burt, of South
nhore, naming a price for the three considerably below the figures
submitted by members of the great bridge combine.
VI course, the outsiders may come into closer competition in the
curse i time with our local men, but the chief point to be borne in
aend, IN tins connection, is the fact that the county board has demon
ssrated, through its setting aside of precedent to build some bridges
spon ITS own responsibility, that concrete bridges can be built, and
suhtt TO stay, thus saving money for the people.
Other counties, not only in South Dakota but elsewhere, might
serive profit by following the example of Codington county.

ORGAN GRINDER WILL
SCARE A BULL DOC

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 9.-What viii
make bulldog run? Answer: An
organ grinders monkey. At least one
monkey made one bulldog run, in the
case of an Atlanta city official who
resides in the suburb of Oakland City,
and who recently experienced the hui
initiating embarrassment of seeing his
champion killer e dogs and wildcats
put to ignominious fight by miserable
little relocated animal, which the
dog could have swallowed almost at
one gulp.
An organ grinder beating his way to
warmer winter climes, took his stand
ii. front of this Atlantian's home and
began to grind out doleful tune. I'm
mediately the bulldog, which is a big
and powerful and ferce-looking ami
NAL with a brindle coat of hair, set up
a dreadful snarling and barking in
the back yard where it was chained.
| A mischievous boy in the neighbor-
hood slipped into the yard, unleashed
the dog and opened the gate. Out
came the dog with bristles up and
fangs cleaning, headed straight for the
organ grinder. Just as he arrived in
the immediate vicinity of that individ-
ual however, the dog caught sight of
the monkey, which hitherto he had not
seen. 1t was his first sight of such an
animal, and it frightened the bulldog
into state of abject terror.
Throwing out his forefeet and put
ting the brakes on his rear feet, the
bulldog slipped and skidded like an
automobile on a wet pavement with
the wheels locked. Then he whirled
and beat a ost precipitate retreat into
the backyard with his tail between his
legs, running as if the very devil him
self was in pursuit.

We planted our garden last week
We already have peppers and chrysan-
themums and during the summer our
tomato bushes had fine tomatoes on
them. The boys haven't had time to
hoe it much for we've been trying to
school only three weeks.
The seventh grades like manual
training and domestic science very
much. Mr.. Smith and two of the boys
sot them some walnuts and made some
walnut stain. 1t is very pretty, but
the two boys got stain all over their
hands and clothes. They are trying to
sell some at ten cents half pint. but
trade seems very dull. It's good stain,

WHEN IT'S RILEY DAY.
A Song of Memory.

+A+++++++++ :
When they say: TITS Riley Day." it's
not time for tears;
For one who made ripping rill OF
music down the years;
With echoes Of that music on the
world-winds as they roam,
A place at every Preside, and in every
heart home.
When they say IT'S Riley Day." think
about the place
In the Indiana sunlight, where 1 met
him-face to face;
In a reyel of the roses, when the winds
were all in tune,
Down the glad ways of Winona, in the
REDEEMED realms of June.
There, in the wonder-weather 1 saw his
home-stars shine,
And twas there he told the story of
IAN Old Sweetheart of Nine"
Out in the starry stiffness, where we
heard the Nights heart beat
And we fancied flocks of fairies scat
tered flowers at her feet.
And "out to Old Aunt Mary's"-he led
as all along
Till we saw her waving welcome, to
the singer of the song;
From song to song he wandered, as
we fingered on the way
And heard in his loved villages "The
Old Band Play"
Twas Riley Day." and Riley Night"
the wholesomest of times,-
The freedom of the friendliness Of
Riley songs and rhymes!
And the memory is music which not
discord mars,
For we heard the worlds sweet singer
on that stage beneath the stare.
So, when they say: Its Riley Day." 1
think about the place
In the sunlight and the starlight, where
where l met him-face to face:
And / think of where he's sleeping,
meath the Indiana skies.
Is It the Night that's weeping-that
the rains around my eyes?
