Mellette County Puts Its
Bootleggers Out AT Work

Pierre, March 13.-Down In Mellette
county, where their Jail Accommodations
are not as palatial as they might be,
and where the authorities are not in
clined to pass out free board when
they can help 1t they are giving a diff
ferent system a tryout. A husky
young fellow was found guilty OF boot
logging and given a fine OF one hun
dred dollars, but said he did have the
money to pay. A farmer Of that u
ty agreed to take him as a farm hand
at $25 a month, and he was allowed
to go subject to further action In case
he failed to make good, and is work
ing on the farm for four months get
ting his room and board, while tine
farmer pays the fine at the rate of $25
a month, as the money comes duet
his hired man." 1t Is hoped that this
example may be a deterrent for some
OF the others who are willing to try
the booze game SO long as II only
calls for a fine, but when IL means
several months of real work they are
likely to keep away from the probable
tiles along that line.

CHRIST'S RULE OF LIFE
BY Rev. II. L. Blair,
who Is assisting Mr.. MacLean In spe.
-

SH fhtNNtiHNs
Eut seek We first the kingdom OF
God, and his righteousness, and all
these things shall be added unto you.
Matt. 6-33.
In the Sermon on the Mount we have
some of the greatest utterances OF our
Lord. Seated on a rock not far from
Capernaum. with the chosen band of
the Apostles near him, and a varied
crowd around him, the Master deliv-
cred his great manifesto concerning
the new kingdom. The fullness OF
time had come when he must dig deep
and lay well the foundations OF the
kingdom he had come to establish.
The Jewish law dealt mainly with
external rites and observances. II
was a code Of symbols, ceremonies
and duties. Religion had degenerated
into a catalogue of outward obliga-
lions. prayers to be recited. sacrifices
to be offered, monies to be paid, all
of which could be carefully performed
while the heart remained uncleaned,
and the life unregenerated.
Christ reversed the whole idea and
requirements OF religion. The impor-
tant thing was not outward observ-
ance, but inward holiness; 1t was not
washing Of the hands alone, but the
purity OF heart that Is vital. The sub
jects TO be chosen for the new king
dom are to be selected for their spiri-
tual excellence, not for their legal
formalities.
On one occasion. the Pharisees ask
ed Christ when the kingdom OF God
cometh? AS much as TO say, we have
heard a good deal about II, now tell
US more fully concerning the matter
The answer was the wonderful declar-
