Hreaorx Seat Eioht.

Sioux Falls.-The partisans of Fair.
fax and Burke are preparing to make
a hard fight before the state supreme
court on May rs, when the rehearing
granted by the supreme court in the
case involving the county seat of Greg
Cry county will proceed to Pierre in
force. At the election last November
the town of Burke, on the face of the
returns. won the county seat from fair
fax, which has been the county capital
since the county was organized In the
early days. If the supreme court, as
the result of the rehearing, holds that
Fairfax originally was selected as the
permanent county seat. Fairfax will
continue to be the county capital. II,
on the other hand, the court decides
that Fairfax was originally selected
the temporary county capital, Burke
will realize its ambition to be the
county seat.

Was Huxley Color BIind7

Hon. Doctor Lyttelton relates a
story of of the late Professor Huxley.
He was walking one day with a friend
who differed from him In being a sin
cere believer of the Christian faith.
Suddenly Huxley said: "When l feel
that people believe in Christianity, 1
take 1t for granted they are muddle-
headed and confused In mind, but you
are a man with a clear head. How
does 1t come about that you believe in
those things, which to me are unimag-
inable?" The other replied: "Dc You
think there Is such a thing possible as
mental color-blindness, by which l
mean there are some minds incapable
Of seeing what others see quite dis
tinctly, just as there are some others
who cannot see colors which others
see plainlyY
Huxley stopped In his walk, and
said: "Of course, that may be, and
that is perfectly possible" and then.
with all the grand honesty Of his tenn
permanent, he said: "And If I hap
pened to be a man Of that kind, !
should not know It," He then walked
on without saying any more.

Mrs. Frank Vrenik, wife of a hons
steader living near Newell, when she
was struck by the fangs of a rattle
snake while at work in her garden. A
physician was telephoned for by means
of a rural telephone line, but because
of the bad condition Of the roads he
was delayed in reaching the scene.
Immediately after being struck by the
rattlesnake the woman rushed to her
home, where her husband applied first
aid treatment. This, the physician
afterward said, saved her life. Only a

The lawyer stopped at the small
downtown fruit store to give an order
for the oranges upon which he fed at
humid noon, says the New York Sun.
"rve moved to the Blank building"
he told the proprietor. Got settled
yesterday"
"What fioor?" asked the fruit mer-
chant.
"The fifth" said the lawyer. Rooms
SIC to 3d."
Better use 51S for yourself" said
the fruit man. "It's. cooler in summer
and brighter in winter"
So! Perhaps Mr.. Oppenheim was
not far off in his game of the thorough
ness Of spy systems. But the lawyer
asked rather BADLY: Show do you
know that?"
II shined shoes in the Blank build

oranges. my best years."
Meaning of course" said the law
yer. "that you were young"
Meaning that I made more money
with less wcrk," said the fruit dealer.
Thirty or forty dollars a week. No
rent, no expense except a few pennies
for backing. Backing doesn't spoil
and fruit does. Now everything is ex-
pense. I pay rent for this little store
and rent for my house In Brooklyn;
rent for the place where we keep III

the state and a corporation tax to the
government, whether We make money
or not. And there are two automobile
license taxes. and oyer home ] have a
water tax and a dog tax. My life IN
surance costs me over 500 a year"
The lawyer nodded sympathetically,
but did not denounce the multiplicity
of taxes. His own income was fat.
tened by the completely of revenue-pro-
ducing methods. T
"It would be simpler" he suggested,
"to have continued shining shoes"

chant, as Ii that were a complete an.

"In a democracy" said the lawyer,
not comprehending. imam has the hap
piness, no matter what his means OF
honest income may be, Of being equal
to other men. For instance, there's
Angelo, the bootblack at the corner.

"Angelo isn't married." said the fruit
man.
"What has that to do with it?' asked
the lawyer.

as another. which is to try to make
himself the equal of the other men n u
he is supposed to make himself equal

pay a lot Of expenses and not go back
to shining Shoes"
"And who decides" asked the law
Yer, "what manner of man a man shall
make himself equal tot"
"His wife Decides" was the answer.
"He must be equal to the husbands OF
the women she knows"
Upon this the lawyer went away,
knowing that there was no evidence In
rebuttal. On arriving at his new offices
he found, indeed, that room 51S faced

More Grace for Rooster.

Because of the shortage of eggs and

ry will set the date for Rooster day"
much later than usual. in order that
the maximum number of chickens
may be Matched. The late spring has
delayed Matching in South Dakota as
in other northern states and Commits.
sioner Frary recommends that hatch.
ing be continued even into July this
year. These late Matched chicks, IL
given proper care, will make good
broilers and roasters by Christmas,
and the pullets will help increase the
egg production next spring.
According to the state census re.
port there are something over 100, 00O
farms occupied in the state. Frary
says If on each of these ten extra
chickens are Matched this spring
South Dakota should add no less than
1000, 900 pounds of poultry to the nor.
NAL amount produced by the state
The food commissioner urges every
farmer to set at least more hen
than originally planned, in order that
South Dakota may do her part in
increasing the supply of meat and
eggs.
On account Of the unprecedented
high prices being paid for eggs this
year farmers and merchants cannot
afford to take any risks in the hand
ling OF this product, according to
State Food Commissioner Frary. With
the first real war; weather of the
spring comes the danger of spoilage OF
eggs. The commissioner is urging
farmers and merchants to take great
