RESULTS STILL DOUBTFUL
ON SPECIAL MEASURES

Pierre. s. D., Nov. 11.-Only about
pne-half the voters balloting on presi-
dent voted on the woman suffrage
amendment, the votes on this question
being only about $4,000. The returns
show a majority against suffrage.
The good roads amendment has var
rted strong. The constitutional con-
v%ention proposal nj prove to have
been beaten, a strong vote having been
cast in opposition. The same is true
OF the taxation and finance amendment.
The Richards primary law received
a majority vote in Minnehaha county.
There is a possibility that this meas
ure may have received a majority Of
the votes cast upon it in the state at
large. Returns on the other proposed
laws and proposed amendments yet are
two meage to indicate the fate Of the
measures.

OLE BULL DID QUEER THINGS
Famous Scandinavian VioIinist Makes
Egyptians Fall to Their Knees
'-,G,.,, and Pray.

Ole Bull was constantly doing
unique things which kept him in the
limelight. In the latter years Qf bis
Nfe ne played the violin q one occa:
sion at TIE submit Of Cheops, the
highest pyramid IN Egypt. He Was at
tended Only by few friends and a
bodyguard Of Egyptian guides. When
the brilliant tones Of the violinist's
Cremona rang out in the dry, sunlit
Egyptian air, it is said the Egyptians
present were 50 Surprised apd fas-
cinated that they fell on their knees,
and called on the name of Allah.
Ole Bull was giant in stature, and
the ordinary full-slzed violin looked
like toy In his hands He used a
bow two or three inches longer than
ordinary, owing to the length Of his
arm. His fondness for playing lengthy
passages in broken chords of three and
four notes caused him to use a very
fiat bridge, which, while It facilitated
his chord playing, made it difficult to
produce much tone on the inner strings
in the higher positions.

CREAMERY BUTTER CONTEST

The butter contest which has proved
so attractive, will again be held at the
Dairy Cattle Congress, Oct. 2-S, Water
loo. Every creamery in the state is in
vited and urged to enter tub Of their
product, which will be placed in an
enormous refrigerator, located in the
middle of the machinery hall. The
refrigerator will be equipped with
plate glass, thus making it possible
to exhibit the butter in perfect con-
dition, and yet in plain view Of those
attending the show. The contest will
be divided as heretofore, into two
classes, viz, those creameries many
featuring butter from whole milk and
those whose product is made from
gathered cream. Gold and silver med
ais appropriately inscribed, besides
large number Of other awards, will be
offered. .......
A butter-scoring contest will also be
held on Wednesday morning 1t will
be open to all of the butter-makers
who have butter entered in the show.

all those who take part. After the
contestants have judged the butter,
the official judges will score and the
awards made accordingly.

Than FACING GUNFIRE
Gallant Seaman Found Himself In
Dilemma From Which He Was Ex-
tricated In Nick Of Time.

A Jack tar from II. Nj. S.-entered
southwestern London post office to
change money order.
As it was government pay order
he was asked, according to regulations,
to show his certificate of identity. But
the sailor had lost the certificate.
Ali the girls in the post office be-
came anxious to help.
Haven't you your name marked any
where?' urged one. jack thought
hard, suddenly kindled with inspira-
ton, opened his mouth to speak, and
then stood silent. A flush deepened
his tanned complexion.
"Well?" urged the young postal lady,
The sailor wanted that money badly.
He faced the guns. "Yes," he blurted,
'lny names marked on my shift"
Post Office girls have no training IN
the technical lingo on his majesty's
navy. Whatever sort of document,
docket or disk this shift" might be,
1t was her duty not to pay the money
until she had seen it. 'Then let me
see your Shift" she demanded anna
bly, but firmly.
Small veins knotted on Jacks tenn
pies, moisture stood on his brow. But
desperate finance needs desperate
measures. "Have you got a screen
here2" he asked in hollow voice.
"A screen!" echoed the post office

agony. Nh 81. . ~ 49,. .'''".

SUMS RAYS CARESS temple
.Tinoe Of Red Upon Mighty Columns OF
Baalbek May Be Explained
in Two Ways.

At Baalbek man has truly achieved
the cyclopean. Here the excavators
have unearthed a complete set OF
ruins. Here lying guides get tourists
TO swallow bigger stories than in any
place I know Of, says writer in the
Christian Herald.
Here the towering columns Of the
temple Of the sun watch the orb OF day
descend behind the Lebanon, after the
lifting shadows have engulfed the
smaller temple of Bacchus. And the
sun, in departing, leaves his kiss upon
the stately colonnade in clearly seen
tinge of red.
There are prosaic folk who say that
this is caused by iron in the rock. That
may do as an explanation to those
who believe in the age Of iron. but this
mighty temple does not belong to the
present age Of machinery.
It is more likely that the red tnge
In the rock is the stain of blood-the
blood of men who died in erecting this
everlasting monument. Perhaps it is
as well that the blood of the labor
ers should show on the monument OF
the conQueror who built this temple to
an unknown god.
Men who are killed in mines and
dangerous occupations today have no
such mighty reminders of their toll as
the blush which shows on the graceful
columns of Baalbek when the setting
sun slowly settles behind the long line
of lofty Lebanon.

Strength of a Flower.

"A rock split asunder by a growing
tree that has found lodgment in what
was at first only small crack is a ia
miliar sight to most people. The force
that a tree exerts in accomplishing
this feat is tremendous, but relatively
1t is not equal to that exerted by the
flower that John Burroughs describes
In recent book, '"The Breath of
Life"
One Of the most remarkable exhibit
lions Of plant force I ever saw was in
q western city, where observed wild
sunflower forcing its way up through
the asphalt pavement; the folded and
compressed leaves of the plant, like a
mans fist, had pushed against the hard
but flexible concrete until it bulged up
and split, and let the irrepressible
plant through. The force eXerted must
have been many pounds. l think it
doubtful if the strongest man could
have pushed his fist through such
resisting medium.
Life activities are kind of explo-
sion, and the slow, continued eXplO-
sions of this growing plant rent the
pavement as surely as powder would
have done. It is doubtful if any Gull
tivated plant could have overcome
such odds. It required the force of the
untamed, hairy plant Of the plains to
accomplish the feat.

MARKET MILK CONTEST

With the growing demand for milk
as food for infants and invalids, as
we'll as for the general public, a
market milk contest was inaugurated
with the Dairy Cattle Congress last
year. Although the cities Of Iowa are
somewhat limited in size, and possibly
do not offer the opportunity for as
large milk contest as those Of some
of our other states, the entries were
very satisfactory last year. The con-
test win be under the direct super
vision Of DR.. O. P. Thompson, state
milk, inspector, who will be assisted
by the local city inspectors. This con-
test, as every other feature of the con-
vention and show, will be largely edu-
cational, 1t will undoubtedly have
many more entries than last year and
from the present outlook promises to
draw the attention Of the milkmen in
general throughout the entire state.
The samples of milk, as those Of but
ter, will be placed in glass refrige-
rator for exhibition. l..

All Great Men.

Once upon time, so the story goes,
10 Frenchman visiting the tomb of Ma
poleon wrote on convenient wall the
lines:
Bony' was great man, soldier
brave and true"
An Englishman, coming along a lit
tie later, read this and added:
"But Wellington did beat him at
the battle Of Waterloo"
The next visitor was an American
who, seeing the foregoing contribu-
tons, rushed into the competition with
all Of the restraint that characterizes
members Of our great nation:
'But Drawer still, and truer far and
tougher than shoe leather,
"Was Washington, the man who
could have licked them both
together"
he wrote, and doubtless went away
quite satisfied with his climax.-Phila-

for a gun. Then, at his request, his
mother made him paper hat, to which

had discovered in a neighbours chicken
yard. After time he found he must
have belt, with sword.
One day he confronted his mother,
dressed in all his warriors finery.
"Why how like soldier you look!"
she exclaimed.

looking at picture Of Napoleon, and
he has scrubbing brushes on his Shout
