man. The Bee knows nothing to the
contrary, but by reason of his loca-
ton and the fact that the salary of the

which he must pay travelling and
other expenses, this appointment does
not appear to be for the best inter-
ests of all concerned. Allyn is on

against Major Smead because he en-

Among other grievances they claim
that the major had an axe to grind
in the matter, forcing them not only
to stay on the reservation. but giving
them no option as to where they
should buy supplies and sticking the
price up whenever they bought from
the trader stores. They accuse Ma

fund, which it is hoped will exceed
the $23.034.0O raised by similar ef-
fort in 1900. It is always a pertinent
question, Where does the money go
to? At one time We believe this fund
was devoted almost exclusively to the
extension of foreign missions and
opening up new countries. but this is
no longer the case. for the greater
part of the amount raised is spent in
this country itself. This is as it
should be. The Salvation army is do

STYLES IN HANDWRITING.

The Butte Inter Mountain has
reached the conclusion that the verti-
cal style Of handwriting, introduced
into the schools some years ago, Will
be soon abandoned, to make room for
the old slanted style that used to
keep the chin of the pupil in constant
activity as he kept time to the racing
of loops and the shading of the lines
on the down hill pull.
Our west side contemporary may be
right as to it's conclusions, being
scholarly newspaper with a Spencer
ian infection in it's ideas, but we hope
not.
Under the old system of writing it
required years and years OF constant
practice to give an artistic finish to
ones penmanship, only to have it get
muscular rheumatism, the cerebro
spinal meningitis and the string-halt
just as soon as it was applied to the
daily concerns of life and man be-
gan to write against time.
Even newspaper men, who do not
write against time as much as they do
against politicians and other news
paper men, have gradually been COM
PEELED to do their shading on their ar
ticles as whole rather than upon the
letters, as taught in their school
days.
Men like Horace Greedy. who could
have drawn an American eagle SO life
like with pen that one could almost
hear it squawl, when they left school,
lived to boast of the fact that nobody
but a clairvoyant could read their
manuscript.
Such is the history of the Spencer
ian system of artistic curves and
loops and shades, moving along from
one side of the paper to the other on
an established grade.
Nobody ever suspected how the
handwriting on the wall at Belshaz-
zar's feast was so easily read until
the vertical system was introduced.
Then it was made clear that the
writing on that wall was square up
and-down proposition; that is, fine
specimen of the vertical system.
With this system, which the Inter
Mountain calls fad, child can do
that which a great many newspaper
men educated under the Spencerian
system are unable to do-write intel
ligently before they know how to
think.
The claim that desire for speed
will lead to the abolition of the yerti-
cal style of writing is not tenable, for
that end is attained with shorthand
and the typewriter, and no system of
chirography known as longhand,
whether invented by Spencer or John
Smith, will fully meet the business
demands of this fast and furious gen.
Grafton of hustlers.
Let the vertical system remain as
a standing evidence that the best
years of a child's life need not be
wasted in acquiring the art of writ
ing.-Herald.
