CHARITABLE ACT
MADISON LADY SOIICITS AND
BROCHURES READING MATTER
FOR PENITENTIARN.

Following a suggestion made some
time ago by an article in The Daily
Leader TO the effect that reading
matter in the state penitentiary al
Sioux Falls was sadly deficient in
quantity and variety. Mrs. + +. Haul
gen bestirred herself in an effort TO
relieve the situation in so far as one
individual might whose time is large
~ taken UP with other matters.
Mrs. Haugen says today that she met
with a ready response to her solicit
tations. and has now "a large box OF
reading matter ready for shipment.
approximating about 200 pounds.
In the p~rofusion of reading matter
which we of the outside world are
deluged. little thought is given 10 our
feelings should we suddenly be de-
prived of it,. Everybody has the
reading habit and inmates of hos
pitfalls, jails and prisons feel -keenly
the lack of sufficient literature. II
matters not so much to them if the
stuff is not up to the minute. Old
literature is new to them. and helps
them to pass many otherwise idle
hours or hours which would other
wise be spent in plotting or melan-
choly thoughts The matter of send
ing literature to them. a small thing
in itself. is eommendable. and might
be more generally practiced with sat
isfaction 10 both the giver and the
recipient.

British Army Boot.

The British army boot is made from
very stout chrome-tanned leather. II
Is interesting to note that what Is
called the "front" Of the boot Is un-
like the average civilian boot, cut all
In one piece, right from the toe to the
heel, and scanned up at the back. The
toe contains, among other things, a
plate Of hard iron, which is nailed on
underneath. On the whole, the British
Tommy has small foot, the average
sizes being seven and eight. Compare
Mr.. Atkins foot with that Of his Rus
sian brother. Here we have an aver
age of nine and ten. The upper por-
ton of the Cossack boot reaches to
within an inch or two of the knee,
and has buckle at the top. Its con-
struction is very similar to the British
boot, the essential difference being the
boot is not stitched round the "welts"
as is the British.

WHAT SITE OF DOVER COST
indians Were Paid Twelve Bottles Of
Drink and -Four HandfuIs Of
Powder, It 10 Said.

Dover, DEL, which one thinks Of as
belonging to that sisterhood of inter-
esting little Colonial capitals of which
Williamsburg and Annapolis are ell
ders, has celebrated the two hun.
dredth anniversary of its founding.
The three neighbor. Colonial capi-
tails have no little historic resem-
blance, and, though Dover is the
youngest of them, 1t has its full share
of historic interest and romantic tra.
dition, political and social. That great
man, William Penn, who had the wis
dom to abolish the tariff duties that
he found hampering the trade of the
great river leading up to his noble
proprietary province, having induced
James, duke of York, to let him add
to Pennsylvania the 'three lower
countries on Delaware" lost little
time in making provision for the
founding of Dover as the county seat
of "St. Jones County," now Kent
county, for he issued warrant for
the survey of the town site In 1883,
and eleven years later, according to
one authority, says E. N. Vallandig-
ham in the Philadelphia Record, paid
the Indian owners for the land "two
match coats, twelve bottles of drink
and four hnndfuls of POWDER" an in
tolerable deal of firewater for So
trifiing supply Of ammunition.

officers, agents, attorneys and all
others in it's behalf from treating the
Grand Lodge, knights of Pythias OF

tached thereto as not entitled to all
of the rights and privileges of mem
bers of the Order of the knights OF

1t also permanently restrains and
enjoins the Supreme Lodge from col
