Will every one who has received

member that it is a part of the

postal card. Will branch presi

II. M. Mould of Keesville, N. Y.,
added four books to our library at
Myrtle the last month.
And now we muBt close the
months work. We hope to hear
from you all soon telling of the
beautiful sunshiny acta you have
been doing and as a watch word
for this month I quote the follow
ing little verse
Give arms of strength to aid the
poor and weak;
Give strong hands to the friendless.
Kind tender words so short and
sweet to speak,
Whose doings shall be endless,
Secretary of State Porter admits
taking $923 80 in fees paid into his
office for the filings of brands and
adds that he intends to keep it
because th brand law says that he
is entitled to 20 per cent of the
tpoils. "I am no constitutional
lawyer," said Mr. Porter when con
fronted with the constitutional
provision prohibiting a state
nicer from receiving fees for his
wn use or from receiving per
quisites. It is true Mr. Porter is
not a constitutional lawyer but he
has great faith in the law that
.'ives him 20 per cent of the'awag,
He is willing to follow the law as
he finds it. Once he took a
lifferent view. When the sealed
flection returns were ripped open
in his office contrary to law he took
upon himself the powers of a con
stitutional dawyer so far as to
leclare that law obsolete. The per
cent law will not soon be declared
ibsolete by him, State Journal,
There are only two states in the
inion that produce more gold an
nually than do the three counties
comprising the Black Hills, and
they are Colorado and California,
The gold output of the former
for 1900 was $29,500,000. and of
the latter $14,377,200. And then
comes South Dakota with?6,617,674
to her credit.
