LEGISLATIVE GOOD INTENTIONS.

Whatever one may think concerning the need of legislation along
certain lines, or the desirabnity of omission in other channels. the
good intentions OF the present legislature are well established in the
public mind, we believe.
Men differ, OF course, with respect to various propositions-
|they would not be human otherWise,-but there seems to be a dispo-
sluon throughout the entire Legislative body to promote the best
interests OF the state without regard to sections or political opinions
1t is an indication that the South Dakota legislature stands upon
a hgh plane. When the general trend of a legislative BODY. O anv
Iother body of citizens, is towards betterment with respect to public
matters, apprehension concerning the future may well be banished
50 lar as the fear of the influence " action of that particular body
is concerned.
South Dakotans may well be congratulated upon the character
type u lei who compose the two branches Of the present
Legislature.
Wise men sometimes change their minds. Brother IIolsaple
VINO at first proposed to let the old topers wet their whistles to the
extent OF a quart OF whisky and a gallon Of beer a month, is now
Wiling to admit that it's too much. If Brother Holsaple had wit
messed the devour1ng of the liquid as we once beheld it at a Clutch
runchs ned think it wasn't enough by a jugful!
An exchange, commenting on a brother editor, refers to him as
that the term is altogether too mild. If editors could only learn to
refraln from telling all they know about one another, this old world
might be a pleasanter place in which to live!
Brother G. J. Ronald, of the Clear Lake Courier, begins the sew
enteenth year OF his management Of the paper. The Courier has al
ways been a wldeawake, clear cut, outspoken, aggressive journal.
Both he and the people of the city in which the paper is published
are to be congratulated.
An exchange reports that George ". Egan has left South Dakota
TO become a resident of Chicago. MIR Egan, according to the
statement of the paper, contemplates going upon the lecture plat
form.
1t doesn't make much difference what the prohibitory law is
SO long as it prohibits!

raiders. BY that time the news Of the
Florence's arrival in West Indian wa
tiers had been spread, apparently by
wireless, for her rakish form and great
speed had excited curiosity and alarm,
and each time he sighted vessel she
would sheer off and speed away as fast
as possible.
On January &c the Florence steamed
into Puerto Plata, where she found the
French steamship Montreal and an
American schooner ut anchor. Captain
Triton brought his vessel up between
the two and came to anchor. At once
the French vessels sides were thronged
with her people, for the yacht was fly
ing the French flag.
Captain Triton got into trouble with
the authorities. A pilot came on board
and insisted that the Florence make
fast to buoy. Then came port au-
thorities, who asked all sorts of ques-
lions. Two civilians followed, and
were told to sheer off. Half an hour
later two armed guards were sent on
board, and when Captain Triton went
ashore to the Office of the collector of
the port he found that the collector
was one Of the civilians he had or
dered off. The collector asserted that
the Florence had come in under false
pretences and told him that he would
have to pay large bill of port charges.

Of the Superstition.

London.-With every month Of the
great war new superstitions are con-
tinually finding origin among the rank
and file of the British soldiery. These
superstitions are speedily introduced
into civil life and London is rapidly
becoming one of the most superstitious
cities in the world. It would seem, al
most, that every man home on leave
has new parcel Of things that must
be done or must not be done to avoid
trouble.
Probably the most generally accept
ed superstition is that Of using one
match to light three cigarettes. 1t SIM
ply must not be done. The noncom-
batants are every whit as supersti-
tious in this respect US the soldiery. 1t
is a crime almost for anyone to light
the cigarettes of two companions with
the match he has just used to light
his own. Try it in London or any
place where Englishmen or soldiers are
found and the offending match will be
knocked from your hand.
Means Speedy Death.
The chaps from the trenches say that
the lighting of three cigarettes witt
one match means the speedy dealt

1 Match for 3 Cigarettes, Jinx

denly dawned on the group what had
occurred there was deep silence for
fully a minute.
':Too bad, old chap" finally re-
marked Tommy to the newcomer,
''but 1t means lights out for you, IL not
the three of you.''
The offender tried to laugh his
fears away, but he couldn't. Two
hours later the first shell in weeks
struck the billet and when the Tom
mics had extricated themselves from
the ruin they found that all but the
newcomer from "Blighty" were safe.
The lighter Of the three cigarettes
with the one match had been in
stantly killed.
Origin Of Superstition.
There are many explanations for
this superstition, but probably the
most plausible is that of its being
symbolic of the three candles placed
at the coffin of the dead. It has been
the custom to place two at the head
Of the coffin and one at the foot. So
for generations in England and Ire
land it has been considered q bad
omen to have three burning lights
in room. Whenever it is found
that three candles are burning In g
room it is taken as a certainty that
death Is soon to occur.
But whatever the origin of the match
superstition, it is firmly fixed one
and thrice brave is the man who
dares to hold it in contempt.
