TO entertain the guests at girls birth
day. To play the game prettily there
must be quantity of paper roses-one
for each little girl. The roses must be
California roses. which are as large as a
little girls head.
When the little guests are all assem-
bled. each little girl gets rose. while
one of the older people present help her
take out the inside leaves and to fit it
over her head as if il were a bonnet, out
Of which her face is becomingly peeping.
Then all the little maidens stand in a
row while some one tells a story about
the garden flowers. Whenever the red
roses are mentioned. the little girls wear
ing the red rose bonnets bow their heads
deeply. and when the white roses are
mentioned the white rose maidens do the
same. And so on through all the colors.
I If little rose maiden makes mistake
and bows at the wrong time, her bonnet
is turned round so that IL covers her face.

An Oriental Story.

An eastern king was once in need of a
faithful servant and friend. He gave
notice that he wanted a man TO do a
days work. and two men came and asked
to be employed. He engaged them both
for certain fixed wages and set them to
work to fill a basket with water from a
neighboring well. saying he would come
in the evening and see their work. He
then left them to themselves and went
away.
After putting in one or two bucket
fuls one of the men said:
what is the good of doing this use
less work? As soon as we put the wa
ter in on one side it runs out on the
other"
The other man answered:
But we have our days wages, haven't
we? The use of the work is the masters
business. not ours"
II am not going to do such fools
work." replied the other, and throwing
down his bucket he went away.
The other man continued his work till
about sunset, he exhausted the well
Looking down into it he saw something
shining at the bottom. He let down his
bucket once more and drew up precious
diamond ring.
"Now l see the use of pouring waite
into basket" he exclaimed to himself
"If the bucket had brought up the RIM
before the well was dry, it would hav
been found in the basket. The labor wa
not useless, after all.
But he had yet to learn why the kim
had ordered this apparently useless task
1t was to test their capacity for perfec
obedience, without which no servant

HERE'S TO HELLO

THE NEWS OF THE WEEK
Items Of Local Interest Gathered To
gcther During the Week
Gone By.

Geo, S. Holmes and others have made
the necessary arrangements to establish
and maintain Telephone service in the
city OF Pierre. Ii will be called the Cap
ital Telephone company and Mr.. Holmes
will act as manager. The promoters
have secured Il scvcn-ycar franchise from
tho city and will begin construction the
latter part of this month. The rates for
service will not exceed s. per month for
business houses and $3.50 per month for
residences. A telephone exchange is not
an actual necessity in TIE city at present
but its adoption will surely come in a
short time. a telephone for the business
man will at first seem a luxury. but to
meet the requirements of progression and
the natural growth of the city he will soon
find the service Indispensable. The men
behind the venture dc not expect to reap
"a rich harvest at first, but with much
wisdom and forethought realize that it is
only question of Il few years until Pierre
will be the metropolis of an area extend
ing hundreds of miles in every direction
like commercial pivot around which the
lesser cities will swing. and then these OH
the ground floor will receive the benefit.
