MYTH of the Doones.

How largely Mr.. Blackmore drew
upon his imagination for the story of
Lorna Doone" is made clear by f..
w. lakewood in his book. "Ihe Good
Old Times" There were, in fact, no
Doones. The word was simply a local
bogy, a modified form of "Dane,'' a
memory of the faroff times when the
viking invaders harried the land. The
only vestige of %actuality d%iscoverable
is a faint tradition that a fugitive from
the battle of Sedgmoor, to escape the
hangings of Judge Jeffreys, appropriate
ed the ruins of some wretched huts in
recesses of the Badgworthy glen, now
the Doom valley finding there a safe
retreat i'll which he reared a consider
able family. which managed to exc out
a living by committing petty depreda-
tons in the district. The last of the
Doones,' an old man and his grand
daughter, are said to have persisted in
the snow during the winter of 1900"

THE NOMINEE

In the state wide primary, held May
%, Orville E. Rinehart of Rapid City
defeated Edmund D.. Morcom Of Sioux
Falls, by a majority vote of 6l3. with
the vote of four counties still out, and
Mr.. Rinehart is the nominee OF the
democratic party Of South Dakota
for governor. His majority when all
counties have reported will crowd the
1000 mark.
In the prediction campaign, the
Free Press advocated the nomination
or Mr.. Morcom, believing that the
best interest of tue party would be
conserved by his nomination. The
party at large decreed otherwise, and
with the rank and file of the demo-
cratic party in this state we have no
quarrel.
May Mr.. Rinehart win the election
in November next, is our wish.

Henry James Style.

Stevenson spotted the unconscion.
able repetition of certain adjectives in
Frederick Hudson but probably the
most marked characteristic of Henry
James style vas his passion for adj
verbs n adverbial clauses. He was
the most adverbial of English writer's.
You will find more adverbs to the page
b a even in Meredith. And he had a
quaint habit of putting the adverb
before the verb when most writer's
would put it after. One of his ladies'
(the examples are taken at random)
thankfully felt" another "quite beau
tifully and tenderly smiled" And
after ALI crops up all over the place.
But one would not have these things
altered; they were part of the man.

trick, but missed the spirit behind it.

A TERROR OF THE SEAS.
This Fish Resembles a Torpedo and Is
Just as Danqerous.

JUST as dangerous.
His shape resembles a torpedo, and
his attack too. Fishermen and bathers
in seas where he is found regard him
as almost as deadly as the torpedo
and far more common in peaceful wa
ters. Fishermen and fish alike are
enemy to him, and he will attack with
a ~ferocity surprising even the shark.
He's called the barracuda.
His body is long and round. and his
head pointed. His wide mouth bristles
with large, sharp teeth. There are
more than a dozen varieties scattered
over the oceans. all of them fierce and
hungry.
Sometimes they grow to a length of
six to eight feet. These giants are the
ones dreaded by the fishermen. Even
when they have him fast on the end
Of a hook and line he's a veritable load
Of dynamite and will attack and bite
and snap at the hands that are haul
ing him in.
Fishermen have to guard against
poisoned flesh in the barracuda. Some
times the big fish eats a poisonous
kind of fish, which in. turn poisons it's
" flesh. The barracuda's bite is re-
garded as poisonous in itself, and the
wounds caused by the giant fsh's teeth
become inflamed and infected.-Phila-
delphia North American.

CONTRASTS IN ICELAND.
A Curious Land of Fire and Ice, of Vol
canoes and Glaciers.

canoes ana 0IaCierS,
Iceland is known as a Gland of con
trasts." The land of Iceland boasts in
comparatively small compass fire and
ice, volcanoes, glaciers and geysers,
There is magnificent scenery in its
desolate plateaus. 1t has more than
100 volcanoes, of which the largest is
Hecla, 800 feet high. There are thou
sands of craters in Iceland, the chief
among them being Askya, with an area
of thirty-four square miles.
OF glaciers there are more than 100,
with aggregate areas of about 5000
square miles. The largest is Natna.
Not far from Uecla is the so called
geyser region, where there are many
hot springs. The Great Geyser is six
ty feet in diameter. One geyser was
found to have water at a temperature
of 262 degrees T., which makes it pos
sthly the hottest spring in the world.
One-eighth Of Iceland is glacier hid
den, and there are ice clad mountain
domes, of which the highest is Oraeta-
jokull, 6,424 feet.
There are not many settlements in
Iceland. The capital is Reykiavik,
with a population of 11,G0O. and after
that the two chief towns are Akureyi,
2,0S9, and isafiord, 1859 inhabitants.
The people of Iceland are described rs
unusually intelligent, and one author
ity states that perhaps in no other
country of Europe are so many books
in proportion to the population printed
and sold as in Iceland"

The Arrow of St. Edmund.

tree and, as torture proved %unavailing
to make him recant his faith, was shot
at with Danish arrows till his body
was covered with them. The tree at
Hoxne to which he vas said to have
been bound and which was twenty
feet in circumference fell in 1S4S. and.
according to "The Black Letter Saints
of the Prayer Book" a piece of iron
like an arrow head was found imbed-
ded in the wood.

AMERICAS BURDEN
OF PATRIOTISM

"* = y IT is rather for US to be
here dedicated to the great task re-
naming before US; that from these
honored dead we have increased de-
votion to the cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devotion;
that we here highly resolve that the
dead shall not have died in vain; that
the nation shall, under God, have a
new birth of freedom, and that gov
eminent of the people. by the people,
and for the people, shall not perish
from the earth"
There is the Americans burden of
patriotism, stated so clearly, so dis
tinctiy in ''the briefest, grandest
speech in American history" the
Gettysburg address, a beacon to guide
our steps i'm darkest hours, an emblem
to hold u faith when all the world
seems wrong. On such a day as Me-
mortal day that is annually common
orative of "these honored dead, it is
Citing we should recall the words and
take increased devotion to the
cause"
Nor a it fail, in the present mo-
ment of American life, that may at
any time face the crisis of nationality,
to inspire us with confidence to recall
that among the honored dead over
whom Lincoln spoke his wonderful
tribute there were numbered men of
the same nationalities that now go ts
makethis nationof a hundred million
sous, who gave the last full meas
ure OF devotion that its government
might not perish from the earth.
To US the living, dedicated to the
great task of remaining, there is Of
fered no greater opportunity Of APP
i probation for the sacrifice of '62 than
to bear the burden %bequeathed us by
those who laid down their lives that
the republic might live. By making
the United States a bigger, better,
greater nation. by keeping it free
from %autocracy and from industrial
slavery we will be carrying out the
desires of the men whom we honor to-
day with a brief tribute. we will be
doing what they would have wished
to do had they been spared from a
nobler sacrifice. We cannot forget
their sacrifices nor can we remember
them always in the busy hours of in.
dustrialism, but we can, in that larg
er sense, pay them honor by making
each days work an endeavOr to bring
the United States to the higher plane
of living and of civilization for which
Lincoln hoped. We can obliterate
the hyphen from our national feelings
and raise our patriotism to the stand
ard that inspired those mel of '6l-'65
and we can, by so doing, weld this
nation into \ force greater thar
all the waring powers across the AT.
iantic, a force that shall make fol
justice.
