He was ready to concede anything in consideration of being furnished more stone. He viBited all the crushers and held out bonuses, then coaxed acd sometimes threatened, but the capacity of crushers could not keep up with demands. He found he was up against it. la a discussion of Sioux Falls rock for paving purposes he informed a number of citizens tnat the jasper formation was the greatest asset the city had, and he didn't except any line of business that if the city could produce more of the crushed rock it would doubtless attract other railroads, for crushed rock for paving purposes was the great problem of cities today, and all that held back paving work was the lack of rock material. In his estimation he considered Sioux Falls jasper the finest rock in the world for asphaltic concrete, its use being limited by output only. Q© saw the rock in use in New Orleans and found it just as well adapted there as in the northern cities. He was surprised to discover so few crushers in operation. He stated the demand for the rock was so great that he be lieved 5,000 men with machinery could be kept constantly employed, and once contractors learned they could get the rock in any quantities and on time the output would always be taken up clean. The contract he has here ought to give him eight carloads a day but he said he was getting only half that amount. He had another contract equally large but had the •tone specifications changed because Sioux Falls could not deliver the rock. The contractor was surprised when he discovered antagonism to the material since be considers the stone industry should be the most important his parents to theTown of Eden and'a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ohas. Falls A paving contractor from Omaha by the name of DeArmon who has a large paving contract under way in Norfolk, Neb., was in Sioux Falls, S. recently, trying to start some thing. His contract includes a great quantity of crushed jasper, which is being delivered in about half the quantities he requires if be gets his contract completed within the specified time. of the oity and should exceed in volume ell other linee ot businese combined. "The trouble it, your people do not appreciate the great asset you have," tatd Mr. DeArmoa. "Better local encouragement would make thie a wonderful city for stone mMB The product of the Mew Ulm stone quarries is certainly equal to, if not superior to the Sioux Falls jasper and New Ulm should appreciate the fact that there is here opportunity to develop a most important industry.

SCARED THE SAILOR STIFF. Then When He Got Wind Enough to Yoll There Was a Lively Time Aboard the Old Sailing Vessel Till a Mate Ended the Mystery. Of course there is no reason why ghosts should not be found on ship board as often as elsewhere. As a matter of fact, Jack, who la always superstitious, sees his foil share of apparitions. This amusing story, told by the ghost himself, is found in Cap talu John D. Whidden's "Ocean Life In the Old Sailing Days:" Whidden, a boy of thirteen, was mak ing his first voyage. The ship was hardly clear of land when a heavy storm set in. Whidden tma feeling wretched and in carrying breakfast to the forecastle upset a pan of hot scouse on the bead of "old Tom" at the foot of the companionway stairs. The cuffing he had for this did not make him feel any better. An hour or two later, when the men were sent aloft, the boy slip ped down the booby hatch and was soon fast asleep among some rope, can vas aud oakum that were piled against the forward bulkhead next the forecas tle. When he a evoke it was dark, but light streaming through some auger holes in the bulkhead and the sound of voices brought him to bis senses. He was surprised to hear the crew talking about him, as if he were dead, and dis cussing the manner in which he had been swept overboard. He heard old Tom say, "Well, I'm sorry 1 hit hira, but the cub scalt every spear of hair out of my head He had another long sleep. When he awoke he beard the crew washing down decks and realized that he was perfectly well and very hungry. He found a barrel of apples In the lower hold, filled his pocket and shirt bosom, climbed back into his nest, ate apples and went to sleep again. Tbe next day old Tom was sent be low to cut a piece of rope from the coils among which Whidden was hid ing. While be was sawing at the rope, the boy, disturbed by the noise, peeped out of the coil of hawser in which he lay and met Tom's glance. "With whitened face and bulging eyes," says Mr. Whidden,/'he gazed at me a moment, then dropping rope and knife aud emitting a series of blood curdling yells he dashed for tbe booby hatch and disappeared on deck. Every one was aroused. I heard tbe second mate ask. 'What's broke loose with you?' and all old Toin, could ejaculate was. 'I've seen hira! I've .seen him!' ^f "'Seen who?' yelled Mr Fabens. "'Oh, the boy's ghost! the boy's ghost!' Old Tom was nearly frighten ed oat of his wits. 'Mr. Fabens,' said the captain, 'get a lantern, take that fellow below and see what scared him.' "So Mr Fabens descended the ladder with half the crew at his back, and 'old Tom bringing up the rear. As they came forward the mate called out, 'Where's your ghost? I don't see any ghost!' "Until now I had lam quiet, but feel ing that I was discovered I rose op to step out of the coil. Tom gave another yell and broke for the hatch ladder, followed by half the men "Mr Fabens came up, reached over, lifted me out by the collar and march ed me on deck, where I Mas at once surrounded by officers and crew. "Captain King stepped forward and said, 'Well, boy. wheie have you been for the last forty eight hours?' '"Between decks, sir,' I sheepishly answered "'What have jou been doiog be* tween decks?' 'Sleeping, sir' •"What, sleeping two dajs and nights?' 'Not all the time, sir,' I replied. 'Had anything to eat'' 'Apples,' I entured 'Where did ou get the apples?' 'Out of the hold, sir 1 got tlie bead out of a barrel' 'Oh, you did' Do yon kuow you've been broaching caigo'" andl then, thinking the farce had gone far enough, for all hands weie on the broad grin, he said, sternly 'Now go for'ard, boy, and if yon cut any more capers like that, you'll get a rope's ending you'll remember all your life' Then, to Mr Fabens, he added. 'Keep him up in bis day watch below for a week and give him plenty of ork That ended his lecture and I was glad it was over and that I had es caped so easily Going forward with the men, I was pleased to see they bore me no ill felling, not even Tom, although he might have been excused If he had done *»o Uncompromising. John Blight's oice as unequivocal ly for peace Says the London Nation: He was walking once past the Cri mean monument in London with one of bis sons, then a lad Every one knows that the word "Crimea" is engraved on the monument The boy pointed to the monument and to the word upon it and asked "Father, what is that?" "That," said John Bright, pointing also to the word, "is a crime It Is 'well th ~c is no one without a fault, for he vould not ha*e a friend In the world —Ilazlitt May Stewart in "As You Like I Much interest Is being manifested by all social, dramatic and literary circles in the engagement of the dig* tlnguished young Shakespearean artiste, Ma/ Stewart, and her com' pany at the Turner Theatre next Sunday evening in "As You Like It", Shakespeare's most intellectual, and yet, most amusing comedy. The woodland world of Arden, in which sonnets are affixed to ancient trees, and lovers, courtiers, and moralists live at ease, has much in common with tbe pastoral back grounds of Spencer and Lodge but its artificiality is redeemed by its freshness of spirit, its out-of-door freedom, and its enchanting society. Rosalind and Orlando are tbe sue* cessorsof a long line of pastoral lovera, but they, alone among their kind, really live. In Rosalind purity, passion and freedom are harmonised in one of the most enchanting women in literature. In her speech love finds a new language, which is continually saved from extravagance by its vivacity and humor. In Audrey and Corin the passion of Orlando and Rosalind la gently parodied in Touchstone the melancholy humor of Jacques is set out in more effective relief. There are threatenings of tragedy in the be ginning of the play, but they are dis solved in an air in which purity and truth and health serve to resolve tbe the baser designs of men into harmless fantasies.
