Joke May Cause Death.

!. Sioux Falls.-The playing of a prac-
teal joke may cause the death Of Pc
ter Peterson of Butler, who now lies
in a hospital in a serious condition.
The practical joke a played upon
him during a session OF a lodge OF
Butler, while q number of candidates
were being initiated into the myster-
les of the order. A contrivance known
as a spanker was used. and to make it
pop the case Of a shotgun shell was
utilized in one side of the spanker.
Peterson was being initiated at the
time, and the explosion was so terrific
when the spanker was popped" that
the greater portion of the flesh was
torn from the hip and the bone Yves
injured. The shock to Peterson's nerv-
Gus system also was great. The vic
tim was rushed to a hospital. Even

Heavy Dakota Fire Loss.

The last official fire marshal bulle-
III shows the fire loss in the state for
August to have been practically $780,
oOO. with insurance of about $500
upon the property destroyed. But the
next report will have a different show
ing. with the heavy fire loss at Sisse-
ton, which reached a quarter of a
million dollars, with insurance of only
about half that amount. There has
also been a heavy fire loss of hay and
grass in the western part of the state,
one fire alone in Dewey county burn
ing over $4,000 tons of hay worth
many thousands of dollars on the
ground. and a quarter Of a million on
the market. Numerous smaller fires
covering practically all sections west
or the Missouri river, and considera-
bic territory in the eastern and cen
trail part of the state, have no doubt
more than doubled this loss, all of it
without insurance. The loss to stacked
hav is a severe one, but no more
SO than to the range grass itself in
the cattle country, which will mean
he moving of large herds of cattle
for winter feeding, and the purchase
OF hay to make up for hat lost.

 And they flew in a swift. straight
 line. One was dream of peaches and
 cream,
 And that little dream was mine: dreamed that a pretty white cloth

 With the round moon set for a dish. And I ate in state of peaches and
 cream
 As much as my heart could wish. The next little dream was 8 funny

 It came to Molly o'Leaf; She thought that she rode on a great green goose That bucked like a Texas steer; 1t Topped about until it knocked her of,

Early Days of Connecticut.

Tn the early times of Connecticut there were very large animals. The lava came down three times and buried these animals up. There was one found on the bank of a river north of Hartford. It was said to be a very large animal.
 The first settlement that was made in Connecticut was made by the Dutch in 1914. Soon after the English came and settled and drove the Dutch out.
 ,Blok was the first to go up the Con- necticut river. Blok was Dutchman. n. The English that drove him out came from Plymouth and some from Boston.
 There was only 1,200 Indians in Con- rlecticut. These were half Pequot In- dfans. The Pequots were so bold that they kept killing the white men That brought war. Many of the Pequots were killed. The forts were burned and when they rushed out they were killed by the white men.
 The PeQuot war started in 1887. Next came King Philips war in 1875. This war ended by the death of King Philip. ROSIE ALMA DEMUTH.
