The president today nominated post- masters in Bouth Dakota as follows: Allle T.ee, Ashton; Joshua F. Wood, Doland; Alexander W. Coutts, Hudson; Sherman F. Lucus, Boonesteel; Lyman J. Bates, Lake Presten; Amos H. Davis, Parkston, and James F. Turner, Faulkner. These nominations were made upon the recommendation of Representatives Martin and Burke and with the exception of Davis at Parkston and Turner and Faulkner are re-appointments. Davis and Turner are mew. It is sald there was considerable rivalry over tliese two appointments. George A. Blacksione was today nomi- nated postmaster at Craig and Andrew Richmond named as postmaster at Orleans, Neb. Senator Warren today Introduced a bill carrying an appropriation of $25,000 for the establishment of a fish cultural station in Wyoming. This sum Includes the purchase of a site, to be selected by the secretary of commerce and labor, and the erection of | times. As far as we could see, up river and down, the country was full of them buffaloes. They never deviated; they came stralght on;inothing could turn 'em.” There rose up before me for an instant De Quincey's tremendous description of the approach of the Tartar horde across the desert, as seen by the Emperor Kien Long; | then It was gone, and T was with Captain Messie again, watching the buffalo. “The head ones reached the river and began to go over the bank: the water came out to us In great waves, and the noise was like & caving bank when a thunderin’ big slice goes in all at once, only cons tinvous, Scon the river was alive with ‘em, and still they swept over; they was all around us, with their great big heads, wicked horns and great big shoulders all covered with heavy hair. I went over to the bank and lald up, and all the while that It was on the quays of the Hub that the future Dr. Needham was kidnaped, carried aboard a vessel bound for a South Ameri- can port and finally abandoned, to be de- livered by means of the cross, which ulti- mately resulted in his own conversion and the dedication of his life to the saving of human souls. “I sometimes feel,”” sald Dr. Needham, “now that my own experlence is ali re- trospect, that God in His infinite wisdom decreed that I should be tried in this man- ner; that He in His wisdom knew that T should be better fitted to earry the Gospel to all men after I had been placed in the balance and found worthy of the test ““Despite the wishes of my parents, whom T honor and respect and love, I was a con- stant frequenter of the wharves of my na- tive city, which attracted me in a manner which I am at a loss to explain. The day on which T was abducted I had been listen- rcar kept up, and that great brown dusty wave poured over the bank into the river. And then—" the captain leaned forward and clutched my knee, wi the horror of it all lived again in his face—‘“then the river was full—full!

For, you see, they couldn't get out on the cther side, where there was a bank twenty ing in rapt attention to an old sailor tell- ing a story of shipwreck mnd rescue. It was the same old story that I had listened o many times before, but it was ever new to me. “I was taken from behind suddenly, hur- rled aboard a ship and thrown into the hold, from which I was not allowed to emerge for many days. In the meantime the vessel plowed its way across the—to way to the coast. T got a vessel bound for England. Years thereafter, while lec- turing in the provinces of that country, = note was brought to me from a man who requested an audience. The request was granted. The man conducted me in silence to his home, on the walls of which I dis covered a picture of the very vessel on which I had been abducted many years before. “The man acknawledged that he had been the captain of that vessel. He said he had repented of his many sins, that the voyage had been his last one, and that he, too, had been delivered. This fs the story of my deliverance. It is a strange story, but it is a true on Dr. Needham thereupon displayed to his audience the tattooed cross upon his arm. —New York Herald.

Make the rows a foot to elghteen inches apar:, or sow the radishes broadcast. Lettuce also yields more from broadcast sowing. Pull out the thriftiest as soon as edible and leave the rest to grow. Radish tops make excellent greens, something better flavored than mustard. By sowing thickly you can have dishes of greens. Say the garden is forty by fif'y feet, this is something what the planting of it should be: Dwarf early peas, medium early and late peassbeets, early and later; beans in succession, including bush limas; carrots, radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers. Do not adventure upon corn un- less it be sweet corn planted on the pea space as a second crop, to come in just be- fore frost. Make an asparagus bed all across one end of the plot, setting 2-year- old roots, and fertilizing the bed heavily in early summer just after cutting ceases. “Peas are so hardy they may be planted before snow is past, provided, of course, the ground is right when they go in.
