Old Sailer Telia of One Great Cause
of Loss.
"Yes. sir," he said, "I was out In the
Kale of '62, off Prince Kdward Island,
and there was a slew of vessels lost
then. It was my first year master. I
was 22 then. Fifteen sail lost at one
clip. One htmdred and twenty lives
lost, and there were 70 widows and 140
orphans mnde In Just that one blow.
No we don't mind a flag at half-mast
any more than It Is part of the busi-
ness; that one over there had a cap-
tain and one man lost overboard.
Never saw them after she shipped a
heavy sea. These craft they have now-
adays never lift the lee rail, and they
Just smother her down Into It when
they have a fare, and don't think much
of reefing, either.
"I'll tell yon how many of them are
lost. They sink each other when they
drag their anchors. You see. on the
grounds, one vessel will anchor about
here, and another about there, and an-
other one there, and so on, about three
cables 1 mights apart. Now, when It
comes on to hold on as long as we can,
and If this one drags, why she will
drift Into that one, and they will both
sink, and sometimes that happens to
almost a whole fleet. The proper
thing to do Is to cut and set a jib and
risk It; that is your only chance."—

FASHION HERE AND IN CHINA.
Comment by Ambaaaador From the
Flowery Kingdom.
At a dinner party in Washington,
the now Chinese ambassador dis-
cussed American fashions satirically.
Now, in China," he said, "our fash-
Ions never change. I wear the same
sort of hat, the same Bort of coat, the
saino sort of shoes, that a man In my
position wore a thousand years ago.
And it Is the sarno with the Chinese
women. Their fashions also have not
changed tn I know not how many dy-
nasties. Long ago. in China, we
found the costumes that seemed to us
the most graceful and the most com-
fortable, and we cling to those cos-
tumes. We love them.
"But you—here In America—how
often it Is—every week, every fort-
night?—that you change your fash-
Ions? Only the other day I met on
the street an American naval officer
of whom I am fond. He had a par-
cel under his arm. I stopped my car-
riage.
" 'Come,' I said, 'let us have a little
chat—a comfortable little chat'
"But the naval officer shook his
head. He said hurriedly:
" 'No, I cannot. In this parcel there
is a bonnet for my wife. Were 1 to
stop and talk, the fashion in bonnets
nilgbt change before I reached home.'"
A True Financier.
"The road to financial success." says
a Fulton banker, "is to ask a little
more for everything you have to sell
than you think it Is worth. 1 remem-
ber a few years ago that James Stew-
art of Mlilersbtirg came to town with
r. mule to sell and tried all day to sell
it for $90 without finding anyone.
"He was about ready to go home
when along about sundown a fellow
walked up to where It was tied and
looked around It, threw his thumb
under its lip and took a peep at Its
molars, and finally asked him what he
would take for It. Thinking it was
like the other chances be had encoun-
tered during the day. and that there
was no hojKt of a sale, he asked the
man $150.
"The stranger walked around the
mule again nnd offered $145. But Jim
said he was determined to get his
price; the other man was stubborn
and said he wanted to go home, and If
that wouldn't buy It go he must.
Finally Jim concluded that he wanted
to go home, too, and with an air of
seeming reluctancy that was played to
perfection, he agreed to let the ani-
mal go at $14o."— St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.
No Longer Baptize Shlpe.
Owing to the proteit by church or-
ganization* In Germany against the
use of the word "baptism" In naming
ships, the naval department has or
dcrcd that It ahall no longer be uscu.
Denounce Narrow Skirts.
The principal papers In Vienna are
thundering against narrow skirts and
"the American way of holding them
up by grabbing them from behind and
pulling them toward the knees." The
mode Is characterised as Indecent and
ugly at the same time.
Eating Between Meal*.
It Is not good to eat between meals,
•nd psrents shrub] take rare that
they do not let their children fall Into
the habit, as it Is one of the most fr
Cuent causes of ill health In the young,
and also In older persons.
Where Cesar Got Even.
"Stuck again!" sum Brutus a* he
car:tully bored a deep slit Into the
loft lacade of Julius Ceaar. "I'm real
ly getting ashamed, Julius, this la so
one-sided. But never mind. They will
give your character to the star to play
nnd I'll always be played by a bum
act sr."
Still Another Case.
Franksville, Wis., Oct. 12th.—Many
remarkable cures are being reported
from all over the country but there
In one right here In Franksville which
Is certainly worth publishing, and
which has not as yat been given to
the public.
Mrs. Louis Marklson of this place
had been a sick woman for quite
long time and could not find anything
lo give her any help. She suffered all
the painful symptoms of what Is gen
erally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her Btory
will understand these distressing con
dltions which combine to make the
lives of many women one long bur
den of weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Marklson cbaucod one day to
hear of a new remedy called Dodd'i
Kidney Pills, that was said to be
splendid medicine for women's weak
ness. She determined to try ome
and soon found herself getting better,
She kept on with the pills and was
cured. Speaking of her case, Mrs
Marklson says: —
"I can and do praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills as a remedy for female weakness,
They are the best medicine I have
ever known, and have done me
great deal of good."

Paper Telegraph Pole*.
Paper telegraph poles are one of the
developments of the art of making pa

which shorten the life of a wooden
pole.
Facts a* to Crime.
The number of crimes Increases
nec"sserily as civilization advances
because new laws are rnado constitut-

violations of law Increases the num-

The fact is that the increase in the
criminal statistics is almost entirely
tn the newer and lighter offenses.

ORIGIN.
Of a Famous Human Food.
Tho Siory of great discoveries or In-
ventions Is always of Interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
Strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led to
■tudy various food* and their effect*
upon the human system In other
word* before he could carry out his
plans he had to find a food that wouc!
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental Btrcngth.
He knew ttat a food that was a
brain and nerve builder, (rather than
a mere fat maker), was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
•oft gray substance In brain and
nerve center* la made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solva
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, tho now famous
food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements tn
condition for easy digestion The re-
sult of eating Grape Nuts daily Is
easily seen In a marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
Bystem, making It a pleasure for one
to carry on the dally duties without
fatigue or exhaustion. The food is
In no sense a stimulant but Is simply
food which renows and replaces tho
dally waste of brain and nerves.
Its flavor is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory It Is served Instantly with
cream.

Mitchell, South Dakota, Sept. 10.—
The South Dakota Idea tola year I* to
emphasize the richea of thia (late.
Wheu it Is confidently stated that thl*
year for the sixth consecutive year
South Dakota will lead all other slate*
In the greatest pi r capita wealth, It
ran readily be understood why South
Dakota i* amoltious to advertise iu
crops and resources.
The report of a fortnight ago repard
Irg the heavy fail of anow and dam-
age done to the crop* by frost, now
appears to have been a false alarm
This Is (he Judgment of a party of
newspaper nun and repiesentatlves of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Sl Paul Ry
wl.o have made a trip of more than
1,200 miles through the atate during
the last ten days. The greatest est I
mate of damnge (hat !b now made b)
those in a position to know I*, th-ee
per cent damage to corn crop of the
atato. In the rich agricultural section,
in (he valley of the Missouri River,
crops appear to splendid advantage
Occasionally one finds fields wherw
there has been perhaps too much wa
ter and (he crops are somewhat late
but this Is the ezceplion.
Tho following Is a conservative ssti
mate of the products of the atate anil
their valuu for 11)03:

While corn is the second product Iu
total value, the 1903 crop shows an
Increase of about thirteen and a half
million bushels over (he crop of 1902.
At the rate corn is being increased In
acreage, the prediction that corn will
be king in South Dakota within a few
years, seems to be reasonable. The
total production of new wealth for
1902 was $119,949,000. The Increase
of nearly J27.000.000 of this year la
sufficient answer to the derogatory re
ports about the state that have ap-
peared wlthlu the last fortnight.
Perhaps a stronger argument In
favor of the state is shewn In an ex-
amination of the bank deposits. In
July, 1901, South Dakota banks had
deposits amounting te $14,000,(100.00;
on July 1, 1902. these amounted to
$30,000,000.00, and on July 1, 1903, to
$32,000,1100.00.
In addition to the money In corn,
wheat and the gold of the Black Hills,
which has been termed the richest
one huuui'cd square miles in the
world, thero Is good money In South
Dakota cattle. Men whe have come to
South Dakota without money, and
who now count their dollars with five
figures, say (bat raising cattle is the
only business In the werld for which
a man can borrow bis entire capita'
It Is a fact that South Dakota banks
are glad to help any henost, Industri
ous young man, who oomes well recom
men led for his commercial Integrity.
In cattle business and accept his cat
tie as collateral. A banker of Ips-
wich told your correspondent (|la( dur-
ing twenty years of such leant! he had
not lost one cent and he could name
by the score young men who had se
cured from South l)ako a banks the
price of their first cerd of cattle.
A visl( (o (he cattle ranch of I-ee t
