What Shall We Call 1t?

The boys call it "bike" and are
happy; the dictionary makers call it
"bicycle' and rest content, though
heaven knows the pathological sin ought
to lie heavily on their literary con-
sciences, and we who ride and are hap
py and independent call it "wheel,'
in spite of the fnicky protest of sundry
would be pedants who fill space in the
daily and weekly papers. Pray, why not
"wheel?" Do you know of better
name? Surely not "bicycle, for obi
cycle, - besides being 9n awkward word,
does not describe the instrument Of de-
light we know, as doubtless the Original
tor of the word fully dreamed it did.
"Bicycle'' has an affected, strained
sound that i'll accords with the best ele-
ments of the language we love. the Ian
guage whose strength lies in it's short,
crisp words, pulsating with life and
meaning.
It is not unusual to designate a spe-
ciic thing by a generic term, and we do
no violence to the language when we
say we ride a wheel. The term came in
to general use when men did literally
ride upon wheel, in the days of the
old 'ordinaries," before the advent of
"safeties. - 1t was a wheel they rode,
the second member Of the machine trail
ing behind in almost unnoticed insig-
nifcance. It was then that a thousand
tongues at once named the Wheel This
democratic term of spontaneous birth
has had tenacious life and will still
live, for it is always the people who
make language. not pedants nor die
tionary compilers. -Womankind
Rainbows That Can Change Sex.
In many parts Of the world it is the
general belief that the rainbow has the
power to change sex. This queer belief
obtains in such widely separated dis
tricts as South Africa and Norway and
China and Australia. The Zulus have a
long folklore story of the young man
who was changed into a wrinkled old
woman by touching the many hued arch.
The Scandinavian peasants have sim
liar story, and in Greece they say that
anybody who runs against the end of
the rainbow will have his or her sex in
stantly changed. In France and India
to pass under the rainbow has similar
efect--St. Louis Republic.

Father Ahern-

Rev. John G. Ahern, late pastor of the
Catholic church at Flandreau, S. D., who
has recently been appointed as pastor
of the churches at Hot Springs, Custer
Edgemont, Hill City and Newcastle
Wyo, has arrived at Hot Springs, &C
companied by his sister, at which place
he will establish his residence. The
newspapers of the state speak very
highly of Father Ahern, from one OF
which, published at %tlandreau, we ex-
tract the following:
During his residence in Flandreau
Father Ahern has formed a great MANY
warm and lasting friendships, and goes
away with the esteem and respect of not
only the members Of his church here
but Of the community at large. While
as a pulpit orator Father Ahern ranks
among the foremost in the state, he has
been while here a public spirited cit.
izen, an active supporter of the cause OF
temperance and good morals among his
people and in the community i'm which
he lives, a man sincere and honest in
his convictions, always willing to lend a
helping hand to the needy and unfor.
tunate, and above all a true American
citizen. His sister, Miss Kate Ahern,
who has resided here with him and kept
house for him during his residence here
is a most highly accomplished and
estimable lady. and will be greatly
missed in the social circles of Flandreau
as she goes with the Father to their
new home. Father Ahern leaves here
to-day for Chicago where he goes on
business, and after staying there a few
days will go direct to Hot Springs The
people of Hot Springs are to be congrat.
ulated upon obtaining so able a divine
and citizen. They both leave here with
the hearty we'll wishes and God speed
Of their many friends in Flandreau and
Moody county"

The initial number Of the Custer
County Journal made its advent on
Wednesday. 1t is q six column folio,
patent inside, has Bryan and Sewall at
its masthead, and for an infant, makes
a quite pretentious appearance. While
it is pronounced in the expression of its
political views, it is free from abuse.
As the leader Of forlorn hope. it will
doubtless put forth its mightiest efforts
for the success Of Bryan and the local
popocratic ticket during the brief time
intervening between now and the pend,
ing election, but as all signs now point
to the certain success of Mckinley and
the triumph of the republican party in
Custer county, it may be set down with
afair degree ofassurance, that the hercul,
can effort contemplated will be wholly
futile, or in other words, cloves labor
lost"

Fettigrew Palsver.

Frank P~ettigrew, now popularity
known as the renegade republican U. S
senator of South Dakota, arrived in this
city on the Saturday afternoon south
bound freight, and for two hours dis
pensed his perverse palaver to a mea-
gre audience at the opera house in the
evening. One of Webster's definitions
of the term palaver, is, "to deceive by
words" and it lie in this sense we EN-,
ploy the term.
While the former republican friends
of Mr.. Pettigrew were all cognizant OF
his coming, it was a notable fact that
none Of them were present at the depot
to greet him upon his arrival, but,
strange as 1t may appear, only those
who in the not remote past, were arrayed
in opposition to him, were present to
receive this princely paragon of political
perfection, whose loyalty to principle
has, as he claims, served to keep HIM in
line with the true tenets of republican
ism after the party had deserted him
An engagement made prior to the an
nouncement of his coming prevented
our hearing the disiointed but harmless
harrangue which he is said to have in
flicted upon his hearers, but as reported
by reliable parties present, his discourse
was mainly made up of apologies for the
course he had pursued in boiling his
party platform, and the bitter %denuncia-
ton of republican principles. Like
Bryan, in whose interest he is so per-
sistently laboring, he places little value
upon the services of the soldiers who
fought to O successful finish the great
battles of the rebellion in defense of the
national flag, as we are informed by
men whose veracity is above question,
all of whom were bis patient, but dis
gusted listeners, that he said: "Any
man who spends thirty days working
for Bryan will do his country better
service than the one who spent three
years carrying the musket. The issues
of the present campaign are more i'm
portant than the issue from 81 to g."
Whatever may be said Of other re-
marks made by Mr.. Pettigrew on this
occasion, many of which we are in
formed, invite criticism, it will be con-
coded by all that the remarks quoted
will not be effective in securing to any
considerable extent, the soldier vote OF
this place for Mr.. Bryan. His speech,
while at times, is said to have been
loudly applauded, did not have the
effect of making a single additional vote
for Bryan, il indeed it did not result in
adding a few to the Mckinley column.
Call again, Mr.. ~Pettigrew, you are I'M
qu~estionably harmless.

Surprise Party.

The home of Hugh Hanna, was the
scene Of u notably enjoyable social oc-
casion on Saturday evening the 3rd inst.
Thirty three years previous to wit, ON
the 3rd day Of October. 1853, what was
regarded as "A very important event, oc-
Cured in the Hanna family in the Buck
eye state. The important event referred
to was the advent upon the worlds stage
of the infantile Hugh.
This last anniversary of that event
would have passed u~nnoticed had
Hugh's better half been as thoughtless
as he, but regarding the occasion as be-
ing one worthy of being ittingly cele.
brated, she proceeded with, and com
pleted, unknown to him, all necessary
preliminary arrangements for what
proved to be, not only a most complete
surprise to Hugh, but to all who were
so fortunate as to be present upon the
occasion, a most pleasant and enjoyable
| affair. When Hugh entered his home
| at the usual hour in the evening, he was
confronted with so large a number of
ladies' and gentleman that his first
| thought was that he had mis-: aiken the
house and had unwittingly intruded his
presence upon some public gathering.
His confusion was only temporary
however, the true status of the situation
readily dawning upon his mind, when
| his wife questioned him as to the day
of the month. After haying fully recov
cred his self possession, his attention
was directed to an elegant parlor chair,
the gift of the ladies' present, which he
was requested TO occupy. The occasion
was now becoming intensely interesting
and he naturally wondered what would
be the next important feature. His sus.
pense was Of short duration, as the feast,
a vertiable banquet. replete with all Of
the "out Of sight" delicacies obtainable,
WAS SOC announced. This pleasing
feature concluded music, both vocal and
instrumental, followed to charm the ear
f.the happy throng. Games Of various
kinds furnished agreeable pastime, and
social converse, always pleasing, was en-
joyed to a late hour, when the good
nights were said, and the guests retired
all earnestly uniting with Hugh in the
ardent wish that the occasion would be
duplicated many times in the future life
history of Mr.. Hanna. Among the num-
Der participating in the pleasures Of the
occasion we note Mr.. and Mrs. ID. L.
Dandy, Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Barnett, Mr..
and Mrs. John McFadden, Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Rogers, Mr.. and Mrs. A. J.
Jones, Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w. Tarbell, Mr..

The meeting Of the Woman's Nc.
Kinley club at the court house on Mon.
day evening, which in response to an
invitation extended by the club, was
largely attended by the opposite sex,
proved to be a very interesting occasion,
After the regular proceedings of the
club had been concluded, which en-
braced an exceedingly entertaining
speaking and musical program, II. d.
Reynolds favored the audience with a
half hour address. His remarks were
well chosen and appropriate to the &C.
c%asion, ignoring to a large extent the
discussion Of the political issues, and
combining himself mainly to the great
principle of American patriotism. The
speaker held the closest attention of his
auditors. and was the recipient of a full
measure of applause. The meeting was
a most successful one, for which much
credit is due to the ladies Of the Nc.
Kinley club, who may now be said to
be the most active and persistent
workers in the community in the inter
est of the election of Mckinley, the re-
cognized apostle of protection, advocate
of sound money and advance agent of
prosperity.
