Ethics Of ShoveiIna.

You can make science out Of any
thing. You may remember the old
joke about the Irishman who said that
Hogan was good shoveler, but he
wasn't what you'd call fancy SNOW
eler. A big plant that manufactures
shovels has made study of shovel
ology and has unearthed some inter
esting facts. For instance. good
shoveler should pick up heavier
load than FL pounds. A good shoveler
should not throw further than ten feet
horizontally or eight feet vertically.
Shovelers should have two ten-:- mute
periods of complete relaxation every
two hours. Shovelers should work in
pairs, not alone. Two men together
will shovel twice as much as two
alone. Now, spit on your hands and
go to itl-Cincinnati Enquirer.

IGNORED WEALTH UNDER FOOT
Spanish Treasure Seekers Mocked by
Fate When They Overlooked
Vast Mountain Of Iron.

Near Mercado mountain, Mexico, q
legend goes, Spanish soldiers slew an
Aztec chief, who said that the hill
was the upthrust finger of the Spir-
1t Of Fury, and that it would some
day avenge the folly of Spain. The
incident was in time related at court,
and the fine men and women there
laughed over it.
Like the gold seekers who over
looked the fortunes that were I'M
der their feet In the wonderful soil
Of the English portions of the Uni
ted States, the Spanish silver sleuths
looked with unseeing eyes upon a
naked. blood-colored hill worth more
than all they were to take out Of
Mexico and Peru in century. Mer-
cado used 1t to hang his name on,
and rode away after the metal he
had come to regard as the only form
of real wealth.
Just what effect the discovery Of
this greatest body Of iron ore above
ground in the world would have had,
had the explorers grasped its real
value, is hard to say. But there Is
hardly more hooking incident In
history than that of the Spanish SOL
diers, when Spain was surfeited with
silver and destitute of iron, circling
around one Of the most perfect iron
supplies on the face Of the earth, and
chrsing their luck because they had
found nothing Of value beyond the
mountains.

bonds (then called stock) amounting
to $80,000,0O0 for the purpose of dis
charging debts incurred by the Con-

for the purchase and sale OF these
bonds being sent to New York. These
orders first came to merchants, at
torneys and others, but later as the
transactions increased, some men be-
gan to give special attention to this
business, becoming the first brokers

JUST WHAT HE THINKS.

Eons ago, when South Dakota was
a part of Dakota Territory and OAK
ota Territory was. yearling-
the cities of the state had chance to
choose the sites, for the various state
institutions, Sioux Falls with her first
Vermillion the classic city by the Miz-
choice chose the State University.
zon choose the State University.
Since that time until the present
day, Sioux Falls has annually taken
itself out back Of the wood shed and
kicked itself for its poor choice and
damfoolishness. And ever since that
time Sioux Falls has been trying to
figure Vermillion out of the State I'm
iversity.
Things have come to head now in
a bill introduced in the Senate. by
Senator Eide of Miner county, who
wishes to repeal the law enacted in
1888 when the university was located
at Vermillion, and if the bill passes
both houses and is signed by the gov
ernor, it will be submitted to vote of
the people.
The plan is that Sioux Falls give a
site and erect million dollars worth
of university buildings and present
them to the state, move the Spring
field Normal to Vermillion and move
the girls at the training school at
Plankinton to Springfield.
Sounds plausible, and the ideal Of
getting, million dollars worth of
buildings for nothing, and not being
compelled to build school for the
girls at Plankinton when the segrega-
ton plan is put into effect, will catch
a lot Of votes.
But do any of you folks think that
a million dollars worth of building
will satisfy Gifted Sioux Falls? Not
on your life!
First thing you know should the
change be made, which it never will
be, Sioux Falls, through its represen-
tatives in the House and Senate would
slip a bill for another million dollars
worth Of buildings, and then some
more and more yet, and every legis-
lature for the next forty years would
either accede to the demands of Sioux
Falls and appropriate lot of money
or there would be the deuce to pay.
The State University is ideally loo
ated. Vermillion people have made
many sacrifices for the university.
New ground has just been purchased,
new ladies' dormitory has just been
erected.
= The boys and girls are not subject
to the temptations Of a growing city.
Everything is quiet and orderly at
Vermillion, and the recreation the
students get is restful and healthful
as we'll as helpful.
Let well enough alone and don't let
that million dollars dangled before
your eyes fool you. The university
is in good place. Leave it there :
