RosS sENEFACToR AND
FORGES HIS NAME

Chamberlain, S. D., May l9.-About
10 days ago a young fellow giving the
name Of Norman Frank appeared
here looking for work, but claimed he
could not do heavy work as he was
still suffering from the effects of a
dose of gas he got while in France.
He showed himself to be a member
of the Woodmen and soon secured
light work on the farm of NJ. B. Lee,
the jeweler. But his work was NOT
satisfactory and he was discharged.
The next morning 1t was found the
Lee store had been robbed Of a guam
tity of rings and other jewelry and
the robber had left behind a cap
and handkerchief resembling those
belonging to Frank. A day or two
later it was reported jewelry had
been sold at Murdo by a person tally
ing with Frank. Still later a check
came from Highmore bearing Mr..
Lees signature, but evidently in the
writing Of Frank. The latter part Of
the week the sheriff was advised
Frank was being held at Pierre. He
will be brought back here.
While Frank was here the sheriff
was advised that a man answering
his description was wanted at Du-
buque, Ia, for robbing the till in a
restaurant where he was employed,
but he stoutly maintained he had
never beer in Dubuque.

HOPE ON.

There never was q day 80 misty and
gray
That the blue was not somewhere
above it.;
There is never a mountain top ever SO
bleak
That some little flower does not
love It.
There was never a night so dreary
and dark
That the stars were not somewhere
shining;
There is never a cloud SO heavy and
That it has not q silver lining.
There is never waiting time, weary
and long
That will not some time have an
ending;
The most beautiful part Of the land
scape is where
The shadows and sunshine are
blending.
Upon every life some shadows will
fall,
But heaven sends the sunshine Of
love;
Through the riffs in the clouds we
may, IL we will,
See the beautiful blue above.
Then let us hope on, though the way
be long,
And the darkness be gathering fast;
For the turn in the road is a little
way on.
Where the home lights will greet
us at last.
