Interesting Letter
A few days ago Miss Freeman
received ail interesting letter
from Mrs. Lettingwell, from
which the following is an extract:
"Yesterday we went into Mother
Eddy's Christian Science Church
in Boston. It is simply grand,
all white marble, with passages
of Scripture cut in the marble.
The building seats five thousand
people and the church was filled.
The ten thousand dollar pipe or
gan was grand, as were also the
chimes. In the afternoon we
crossed the harbor, and took the
subway out to Franklin Park, a
tract of six hundred and twenty
ac res donated to the city of Boston
by Benjamin Franklin, with the
stipulation that no portion of the
land should ever be
disposed of in
any way. We saw all kinds of
birds there. It was a beautiful
car ride. Saturday we went to
Salem and went into the house
where they hung and burned the
witches. We saw also "The House
of Seven Gables", the house that
LaFayette danced in, the house
where President Monroe was en
tertained, the house where Haw
thorne was born, and the house
where he started to write'"^he
Scarlet Letter." This houses is
now being used asacustom house.
From Salem we went on to Mar
blehead. It was quite a sight for
me to see all those quaint old
buildings built in colonial style.
We saw a building of 1630, where
the pirates held forth. Marble
head was well named, for the har
bor is tilled with rocks. We are
going this week to Bass Point
for a fish dinner, and to Plymouth
to see the old rock of our fore
fathers. The fourth of August
we go to New Hampshire, to the
camp on Lake Winnepesaultee,
where my daughter and my grand
children go for their vacation,
every summer. It would take
me a week to write about all the
places of interest I have seen, and
haven't time now on account of
going to others. Remember me
to any who may inquire."

especially as she has such fine
rooms to offer.

STATE NEWS ITEMS
Alexandria clam diggers, who
for some weeks have been oper
ating along the streams of that
vicinity, have just shipped to
eastern button factories an ag
gregate of 60 tons of clam shells,
for which they received $50 a
ton at the factory. In addition
to the money derived from the
sale of the shells they also profit
ed greatly from pearls which
they found in some of the shells.
H.J. Hansen of Charier Mix
county recently sold a bunch of
75 steers for #125 per head, the
bunch bringing him $10,625.
Here is a South Dakota farmer
who does not need to be told
where the money lies on the
farm. He follows the advice of
J. W. Parmley—the silo, the hog
and the steer.—Argus Leader.
The Commercial club of Aber
deen lias asked the city authori
ties there to place a high license
tax on carnival companies. The
business men of that city take
the stand that the carnival com
panies are a detriment to the
city, and take out a large amount
of money which should not be
diverted from legitimate busi
ness channels.
What was supposed to be the
first application in the state for
a mother's pension was made
this week to Judge K. D.Walker.
There are doubtless many of our
readers who do not know that
such a law is now in force, but
such is the case. A mother who
is worthy of aid may receive $15
a month for the first child under
14 years and $7 for the second
child. The county judge, how
ever has power to determine
how large the grant may be, af
ter he has learned the need of
individual cases. This law is a
good one, and South Dakota, in
this respect is keeping up with
other progressive states.—Ar
mour Herald.
The Clark Farmers Elevator
company held its annual meet
ing last week, and a dividend of
30 per cent was declared. Ten
per cent will be paid in cash and
20 will be used to establish a re
serve fund.
From White Rock Journal
The railroad graders have
moved from the Teare farm north
to the Will Brown place.
We understand that arrange
ments are being made for a hun
dred bbl. Hour mill at Victor.
The foundation for the new
White Rock High School building
was completed the fore part of
the week.
Frank Stoebe has completed
the depot at Rosholt and has
moved his crew to New Etting
ton to begin work on the depot
there.
Geo. J. Grain of Webster, this
state, is having lumber hauled
to Rosholt this week: where he
will put up a building and open a
hardware store.
May McGee, the 10 year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas.
McGee, broke her right arm at
the elbow joint last Sunday af
ternoon. She was visiting at the
Geo. Walker home in Effiington,
and her broken arm was the re
sult of falling from a table upon
which she was playing with oth
er children. A telephone mes
sage was sent to this city and
Dr. Scheffler was hurried out
there. The arm was fixed up and
May was brought home by auto.
The break is a bad one but it is
hoped that the arm will
out all tight.

The Standard for News.
Supt. E. D. Mossman met the
visitors and conducted them over
the grounds and through the
buildings. Although school is
not now in session, there were
things of interest tp be shown.
Some fine decorative work on the
walls of some of the rooms has
been done during vacation by
Samuel Crawford, a young In
dian who is quite talented with
the brush. One of the pictures
is the reproduction of a dream
experienced by this young
artist.
In the kitchen, a large new
range, perhaps ten feet long,
was shown. This will soon be
added to the cooking equipment
of the place. For remember,
that it takes some stove to do the
cooking for 175 growing boys
and girls and their fifteen or
more teachers and other em
ployes about the institution. A
large piece of machinery, yet
unboxed, was pointed out as a
dishwashing machine. Hereto
fore this work has been done by
the children, with the aid of a
hot water sprayer invented by
Mr. Mossman. In the cook
room a large mixing machine for
making bread will soon be in
stalled, which will be a great aid
in that work.
The laundry is supplied with a
washing machine of ample pro
portions, a machine for drying
the clothes, which revolves very
rapidly, something along the
order of a cream separator and
a drying room, kept hot by
scores of pipe. A mangle for
ironing the clothes will soon be

M. E. Crockett, Dr. Felix J.
Schettler, Thos. Osman and the
Standard man took an aufco spin
last Friday out through a portion
of Grant township, where some
magnificent crops were seen, es
pecially in the German settle

church where Rev. G. Steven is
pastor. Coming to a ford in the
little Minnesota river Mr. Os
man made the run on high speed
with no harm done to anyone.
After circling considerable terri

added, which will save much
hand labor. /1,
The sewing room was visited
but most of the work of the girls
was locked up and could not be
seen. That which was seen bore
evidence of the excellence of
what is being done in this de
partment. In the carpenter
shop some of the manual train
ing work was shown. The head
carpenter is an Indian, who also
has charge of the manual train
ing work, in which, evening les
sons only are given. In Sep
tember the school will give its
annual fair, at which time the
public will hav» an opportunity 5
to see the wocte from these two
departments. ATOiong other things.
It was with considerable pride
that Mr. Mossman exhibited a
drove of fi$y hogs, all thorough
bred antattds. Fourteen milch
cows are also, kept on the place. S
While little time was devoted to
the farm J&y- the visitors, a fine
four awe field of potatoes, with
out a weed visible, was noticed. 1
This is also one of Mr, Moss*
man's pets,
The institution has a fine wator
and sewer system and is well
lighted from a gas plant on the
place, located in a frost-proof
subterranean room,
A few months ago Mr. Moss
man had a better place under con
sideration, which resulted in his
getting a $200 raise in salary, his
pay now being $1400 a year. Be
sides taking a live interest in the
educational development of the
pupils under his care, Mr. Moss
man is extremely solicitous of
their moral welfare. He has much
to overcome in this direction,and
hopes for the co-operation of the
best people of Sisseton and Rob
erts county in his efforts along
this line. A young Indian has
recently been arrested for illegal
cohabitation with one of the girls
of the school and Mr. Mossman
feels that his conviction at the
next term of court will be a sal
utary example to others.
Time was so limited that it was
impossible to make a call at the
Agency. This will have to be
done at some future time.
