There has been a change in the ownership of the Aberdeen Publishing Co., and T. L. McKee will have entire control in the future. As soon as possible he will bring -his family from his former home,Laramie, Wyoming, and endeavor to give Aberdeen a good advertising medium and a thoroughly up-to-date commercial and job printing establishment.

One of the things the News is sad about is the fate that seems to be in store for a dairy farmer who lives near Pierre. He is shipping his butter to the Pacific coast and getting 55 cents for it. Now when a commission is em­powered to regulate rates one of

-r the first things it will do will be to raise transportation rates to such a point that he can no longer ship his gilt edged butter. With such silly scares as that it is hoped to drive people from the suppgrt of the president.

John Longstaff, in a recent issue of the Huronite, figures

'T~ out that at the present high price . for hides, the highest ever known, and the extremly low price of the common grass fed beef, it would pay better to kill at home and eat and peddle out the beef. The hide and tallow

pK are worth about half what the entire animal will bring, so that since the buyers will pay little

THE GRAND CANYON. ;

It> Bewildering Tumult of Form and Riot of Color.

An artist who loved the wilderness took his bride to the head of the Bright Angel trail. It was night when they came to their journey's end, and the man persuaded the woman not to look npon the grand canyon until morn­ing. When the sun was high he blind­folded her and led her out of the log hotel that stood upon the brink of the precipice to a point of rock that over­hangs the abyss. For two days and nights tliey had been riding through the desert, Hat and gray, with blue mountains flicking in and out of the horizon, with a few jarring crevasses and buttes and bluffs to emphasize the tranquillity of the scene. The desert, with its somber serenity, had charmed her soul and left it in a flue repose. As she stood blindfolded sfiie could think of nothing but the great, level stretches of sand and sage and cactus. The man had told the woman little of the can­yon, and when he took the bandage from her eyes he held her very tightly as she looked out across the miles and miles of tumult of form and riot of color that seemed to swirl thousands of feet below her and around her. As from the clouds, she looked down into an illimitable red tinged, ash colored hell, abaudoned and turned to stone eons and eons ago. She stared, amazed at the awful thing, for a long minute, and then, as the tears of inexplicable emotion dimmed her eyes, she turned and cried vehemently at her artist hus­band:

MAN EATERS IN INDIA.

The Sort of Tlerers Thut Hunt For Ilomau Game.

The "man eater" is the jungle night­mare of India, and numerous are the theories to account for Its abnormal appetite. Commonly it is said to bfe an old tiger which has found game too difficult to bring down, or a sickly tiger which has resorted to man kill­ing In its weakness as the easier meth­od. The consensus of opinion among experienced* hunters and observers is, however, that a man eater is an ex-cattle killer which in conflict with herders, who are often quite brave in defense of their cattle, has discovered how much less work it Is to kill a man than cattle, for the cattle killer Is usually fat and lazy. Nothing has been found, so far as I have discover­ed, to suggest appetite for human flesh as the impelling motive, or that man eaters reject all flesh not human, or that the cubs of a man killing ti­gress inherit the man killing propen­sity. Rather is it a case of contempt for man bred of familiarity, and more often the lust lays hold of tlie tigress, very likely because in foraging for her cubs (as she does until they begin to hunt for themselves at seven months) and in their defense she has come more frequently in contact with man, or it may be because the female Is more numerous than the male or be­cause by nature the slyer and more vicious.—Exchange. |g|

WILD DOGS OF ASIA

and Fierce Animal* That Para lie Kill Bears and Tlgen.

The quality of courage possessed by limiting dogs of Asia appears In a marked difference of habit from that noticeable in all other carnivorous beasts. As a rule, each ferocious ani­mal has its natural and favorite prey, which may vary in different localities,: but is in each case the easiest ana most profitable victim. Tigers, for Instance, are cattle slayers or deer killers, just as cattle or deer happen to be most abundant In their district. r,

Leppards prey on goats, sheep and, when they can get them, on tame dogs; wolves on sheep and cattle, stoats or rabbits and hares, and weasels on rats and mice. But, though the jungles which-they visit, abound in defenseless animals, the wild dog does not limit Ms attacks to these. The packs, de­liberately pursue and destroy the black and Himalayan bears and the tigers, affording perhaps the pnly instance In Which One carnivorous species delibetv ately sets Itself to hunt down and de­stroy another. From their rarity, the uninhabited nature Ot the jungles Which they haunt and their habit of hunting at night—which a protbabie

FOR THE CHILDREN b ' 1 -'*? The Ton' ef of Babel.',?w?

Tne exact date of the building of "NImrod's Folly," as the Chaldeans say in alluding to tlie Scriptural towe^ of Babel (the Armenians speak of it as the Tower of the Coul'usiou of Tongues), or the height to which it penetrated the rarefied atmosphere of the oriental plains will perhaps never be known. The date of the laying of the founda­tion of the famous structure Is usually set at 2247 years before Christ, or In the year of the flood, 101. The expres­sion of the sacred historian that Its top was to "reach unto heaven" is now generally set down as a strong Hebrew phrase denoting a very lofty tower, but not necessarily meaning one that would reach to the abiding place of the Lord and his hosts. Proof that this is prob­able may be found in several places In holy writ. The walls of the city of Canaan are described by Moses in similar phraseology. The spies sent out by him returned and reported that the cities of that country were great and were "walled up to heaven."

Fish as a Brain Food.

There are many men of many minds and many fish of many kinds. There­fore there must be a fish adapted to each particular mind.

For instance, for the schoolmaster we should prescribe whale and for his pu­pils blubber.

For the critic, carp. For the soldier, swordfish and pike. For the office seeker, plaice. -For a shoemaker, sole. \ For a carpenter, sawfish. , For a smoker, pipefish and whiff. For a blacksmith, bellowfish. For lean persons, chub. For a sculptor, sculpin, of course. For a cheese manufacturer, smelt. For the basso singer of a minstrel

troupe, black bass. For a sea captain, skipper. For dwarfs, minnows. . Then there is the archflsli for archers,

the drumfish for drummers, the pilot-fish for pilots, the skate for skaters and the houndfish for hunters

••••I/ •' ' Game of Hornet Chasers.

Divide any number of players into two camps—the chasers and the hor­nets. Place a mark or target either on a fence or on top of a pole to repre­sent a hive. Each hornet has a tennis ball with which he seeks to hit the hive, around which the chasers are grouped, armed with bats to ward off the balls.

Every ball driven back from the hive counts a point for the chasers. A ball touching the hive indirectly, even after It has been touched by a chaser, is good and counts for the hornets.

The hive is attacked and defended by the right and left hand alternately, :as the umpire commands.

The side first making fifteen points wins, after which parts are changed, the hornets becoming chasers and vice versa.

This game can be played in the house by using soft balls and battledoors.

For Children's Party;

From water color paper cut and dec­orate Noah's arks three or.four inches long and on the back of these paste an envelope to contain the invitations. In­close the whole in a large envelope for mailing, says the Woman's Home Com­panion. The invitation may designate the kind of animal each guest Is ex­pected to represent or that may be left to the individual choice, merely asking them to come to the party in costume. 'These costumes are to be as simple as possible, only expressing some charac­teristic feature of the animal. To rep­resent the elephant a loose domino of gray muslin may be used and a close fitting cap with huge flapping ears at­tached.: For the lion a tawny colored domino with a fluffy ruche for the neck and shoulders made of tissue paper
