Mr j. ID. Knapp of the General

The gentleman was exceedingly
pleased with what our burg had
done TO protect itself from the de

careful inspection he found that
kadoka could easily pass into II
Glass Four Town if two conditions
were complied with. The one was
the purchase of an additional $50
'cct of fire hose withthe $50 feet
now on hand. The other was the
purchase of another forty to sixty
gallon chemical fire engine.
After short consultation the
village dads we've agreed and lust
" so, that 1t was master piece OF
business to save kadoka and it's
people some $1,000 per year. Ac-
cordingly, Craven, dean of the viii

The Herald as an advertising medium
and the ability of the consumers of
this trade field to recognize excep-

Every advertiser reports a good
business on Saturday, some extra
good, and some say the day broke
all records for them. The total vol
ume of retail trading is estimated at
ten to IL thousand dollars. Some of
the grocers were unable to complete
their deliveries before the following
Monday afternoon. Although the
weather was still somewhat chilly,
after the heavy storm, and the roads
not in the best condition, many were
in from long distances.

IMPROPER USE OF BUTTERMILK

In an item headed "That's where
your money goes" the Montana De-
velopment Association points out in
a recent bulletin that Gin at least
one city in Montana enough butter
milk goes down the sewer annually
to float on of Uncle Sans biggest
dreadnaughts. So far as we know,
buttermilk has never yet, been used
for that purpose, but there are thous-
ands of instances where it has been
used to float mortgages which. have
ben almost as heavy as dreadnaughts
to the farms which carried them.
Buttermilk doesn't seem to have
become overwhelmingly popular as a
substitute for many Of the human
beverages tabooed by the eighteenth
amendment, but it has likewise lost
none Of it's favor and value in the
poultry yards and hog pens of the
country.
Buttermilk diverted down the
sewer means dollars diverted from
somebody's pocketbook. You guess
whose.

Young Thug Gets Justice

s~cription of the thug by Mr.. Yager.
The man picked up and charged with
the crime of assault with a danger
Gus weapn with intent to rob, gave
his name as Jake Gordon.
Mr.. wager claims that Gordon had
seen him remove his ~pocketbook when
he made a small purchase of con-
fections at the labor hall earlier in
the evening and it is thought the
sight of the money tempted Gordon
to follow him and commit the crime.
At the time of the crime a fierce biz
gard was raging and the fact that
wager was not knocked unconscious
probably saved him from freezing to
death before being found.
Gordon in being examined by po-
lice authorities claimed he had come
to the city only a few days ago from
Wolf Point, Mont. Information from
that city claims that Gordon has been
under suspicion there for similar
crimes but that at no time had suffi-
cient evidence been gathered to make
his arrest.
Following the crime Mr.. wager,
who is a coal miner, went to the home
of his brother where he was bound
when accosted by the thug. Exami-
nation of the back of his head re-
vealed hiatt he had received a severe
scalp wound and on calling a local
physician two stitches were taken in
the wound.

BY HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR

What has gone befOre-John Steele
marries Anne Temple knowing that she
has a secret in her past which she re-
fuses to divulge. He knows, too, that
she does not love him. but during their
honeymoon they are swept irresistibly
together, and for time are very happy.
Then Steele begins to think about Anne's
secret, the more so because at times she
disappears mysteriously and refuses to
say where she has been. He finally yields
to the temptation to spy on her and dis
covers that she is supporting a child.
In the shock Of his discovery, his mind
leaps to but one explanation, and when
he accuses Anne of unspeakable things
she is too overwhelmed to deny any
thing. That night she goes to her child,
and finds her dangerously i'll. During
the night vigil, Anne goes back over the
past and in her imagination lives again
those sordid days when she was the wife
of Stanley Barton.-NOw go on with the
story.

KORZENIOWSKI'
BY DR.. Frank Crane

This is the remarkable story of Mr.. Kor-
zeniowski.
1t is the story of a boy in Poland in 1857,
who could not speak word of English in
1873, when he first set foot on English soil
and who became one of the masters of Eng
lsh literature.
There are other dramatic features in Kor-
zeniowski's career One is that, although he
was born in Ukraine, one of the southern
provinces of old Poland, and during his child
mood Nived far inland, yet from his earliest
boyhood he was smitten with love of the
sea. He wanted to be sailor and he became
one.
When he was boy he read many books in
Polish and found in literature refuge from
the depressing conditions that surrounded his
life. At ten, he had read widely in Victor
Hugo, Dickens, Scott, Thackeray, history
novels, and voyages, in Polish translations
Both literature and the sea were his dreams
of escape, and they both came true
At the age of nine, looking at a map OF
Africa, he put his finger on the blank space,
which, at that time, represented the mysteri-
Gus uneXplored heart of the continent and
said, when l grow up 1 shall go there .
Over twenty years later he did. When he
got there he contracted a fever, which sent
him back to live sedentary life, and he be-
came great novelist.
AS a boy he loved to tell stories. He
dreamed them and told them to his friends
Most Of his stories were of ships and fa1
eff seaman, then English seaman "
! he resolved, although he did not know word
of English at the time.
In 1874 he first laid his hand against the
side of an English ship, big high-class cargo
steamer by the name of James WestoH'
Then he first heard the English language. II
was snapped out at him by an immense
bearded double-chinned "porpoise" on the
deck above. Look out therei" Three years
later he first landed in England and began tt
study the language.
He became an English seaman and sailed
| to many parts of the earth. He encrcled the
globe and explored strange places. He hat
all sorts of dangers, adventures, and plenty
! of hard work.
! His first book was published in England IL
! 1895 and created little sensation. In 1896
Korzeniowsk married and went to live
in Kent, England, where he has resided II
comparative secusion ever since. Here hi
worked hard and produced many volumes.
From 1895 to 1908 his books and stories
were presented to a rather Indifferent pub
| lie It was not until 1914 that at last thu
world broke into applause. He had mastered
literature as he had mastered the sea. H
! is now considered one of the greatest of mod
ern writer's. IF you have never read any o
! his books you have missed a great deal.

MY FAVORITE STORY
nv IRWIN CORR

The late Colonel w. G. P. Breckenridge,
most famous of all Kentucky's orators in his
generation, had feud, in the latter years
Of his life, with certain physician of the
Blue Grass country. At one time the two
men had been close friends, political and
otherwise. Also they had been comrades
together in the Confederate army. - But the
physician supported the opponents in Colo
mel Breckenridge's last race for reelection
to congress from the famous Ashland district,
and thereafter relations between them were
strained.
The medical man was large and handsome
and very dignified. He rather loved the
limelight, too. He never missed a large pub
lie gathering, usually occupying a prominent
place; but, curiously enough, before the
meeting broke up, a person would come hot
foot to summon him to the bedside OF some
ailing individual. Base rumor had it that the
call was not always a genuine one-tnat the
messenger was employed to foster the impress
sion that the doctor had an enormous prac-
tice.
Once Colonel Breckenridge was acting as
chief counsel for the defense in a criminal
case in a county adjoining 'he county where
he lived. The trial had attracted widespread
interest. On the day, when the sumEling-up
speeches were to be made, the courtroom
was packed with Kentuckians anxious TO near
the feast of eloquence. Colonel Breckenridge
had Just begun his address when a citizen
hurried in with the word that DR.. --- was
needed Immediately in a case of life and
death The physician arose from where he
sat on a front bench and in seeming great
hurry began to shove his way through the
jam toward the door.
If the silver-tongued Breckenridge felt an
noyance at having been interrupted in the
opening phases of his GRAFTON, his face gave
no hint of it. But, in his softest and silkiest
tones he called out:
"Pray take your time, doctor take your
time! Give the patient chance"
