ik As , land there will cost you $5 , 25 per acre , and ;
eM you pay your expenses and take chances on , getting
? anything , and you have to homestead it to get it at { if
the above pm-ice. \Ve will sell you a fine , rich , level *
160 , every foot nice and smooth ; not -a pebble on it ,
within 12 miles of Pierre ; the capital of South Dako- *
r/JIJ ta , for $ . 100 and pay your R. R. 1 fat -c there and back ,
if you _ will go next Tuesday , ray 17. The I-ltun- ,
boldt boys , on their way up to their homesteads ,
drove across the Rose bud land , and they write back l
f
that it is not as good as this land that we are telling
11 you about near Pierre. All the parties from this
county now up on their homesteads are well pleased ,
: and write back that hundreds of people are coming f
1 in there for land and as soon as the Rose bud land is { if
thrown open , which is several miles south of our land
t5 and 50 or 60 miles from the capital our land will.l . be l ,
worth $ 10 or $ I 5 per acre. See us at once , as this IS Pf' .
a snap and will be off the market after the 7th. ,
Don't miss this , as you will never have another chance ff
to get a fine farm so cheap. . I

THE CHEERFUL 'TELEPHONE.
.
An Institution That Contributes
Much Toward the Enlivenment
of Mankind.
- . .
In a general s1Imming up of the
numerous mel'hanil'al in\'ention8
which contribute hugely to the
gayety of nations , the telephone ,
it appears , does not fall behind ,
says the Indianapolis Journal.
"It : just occurred to me the
other day , " said a woman in a lit-
tle group } of club loiterers who
were having a social chat after
the club had adjourned , "that wp
do not give the telephone its just
clue of' praise its a cheer distrib-
utor. One hears a good deal , now
and then , about the useful telephone
phone the wonderful telephone :
the convenient telephone , but
really I have never heard any one
call it time ' cheerful telephOlw. '
Perhaps ] , however , one needs to lw
a suburban dweller to realize
what an entertaining and agrel\
able companion the telephone is.
In trite phrase , words can hardly
tell what a valuable affair the telephone -
ephone is in the country. In the
dull winter lays , when my ; husband -
band was in town and the children
at school , my spirits would some-
times flag. Instead of' flying to a
quinine pill 01' a dose of cut-rate
tonic , I would simply fly to the
telephone , call up some one of my
treasured relatives or intimate
friends - , . either . in town - - Qrin I - the
.
country , get a little pleasant
sparkle of talk OJ' harmless gos-
sip over the wire , and go bark to
my sewing 01' work refreshed and
braced in mind and hodJ'-
" 'TnlJeknowns ( ' too
, , as good
oM Saucy Gamp would say , T
often administprpd the telephone-
( 'm'p ( to my hushand and children.
1f Henry yawned ( It good deal in
the evening and didn't seem to
care to read , or' to talk , I would
Hay , 'areleHsl ) ' : '
" 'Henry , call np George Blank }
and ask how they all arc , over
there ; we haveu't heard from
them for several days ; ; 01' , Henry ,
call up your mother and ask how
all time folks are ; tell her we want
to know ' These little telephone
' would dear
s\'mposil1ms < brighten
old rfpnry up amazin ly. When
the children were ) at home from
school / with colds , too , the telephone .
phone was our great comfort.
Indeed , I think the world at large
is ungenerously silent concerning
the countless glorious messages of
golden cheer which , day by day ,
ill every direction , flit along the
telephone wires. "
- - Aftermath.
"ThJ' are you SO quiet this even ,
bug , dear ? " she asked. "Are you
thinking about how we became
gaged last night ? "
"Yes , " he answered , with deep
sigh. "You see , I'm perfectly BO'
bel' to-night. " - Chicago Dai13
