Has Good Cause for Alarm.

RObert Harper OF W1HHedPo11s, WIZ
was born in 1898, has become alarmed
at the germ theory recently so much
discussed by scientists, and fears that
he has devoured too many noxious
baccilli during the los years OF his
existence to assure him Of a continu'
ance of the perfect health he has en-
;oyed thus far on his journey through
life. He sorrowfully admits that he
cannot now change his habits Of life
so as to abstain from eating certain
foods, such as oysters, that are said
to he deleterious to health.

THE "GREENER.


A Term Applied to the Newly
Arrived Immigrant.
In an article on 'The Russian
and Polish Jews in the New York
E. A. Steiner thus describes the
"greener. The ''greener" is treated
with kindness but IS made to feel
his ereenness at every point. There
is an unwritten law in the Ghetto
that for two days he must not work,
but must eat all he can, for usually
he arrives hungry to the starving
point. His country men come to see
him during that time ask all sorts
of questions about the old home,
give such advice and show a great
deal of superior wisdom in the use
of English, upon which they pride
themselves and with which they
freely sprinkle their Yiddish. The
more English they can display the
smarter they are, and usually in
two years the ''greener" has
mastered this difficult language.
He is put to work after thu two
days are over, and this process is
called ''augsgeenen''-getting a
chance to shed old country clothes
and habits an becoming like us;
generally he goes into a sweatshop
as an ''aparta" which means that
he learns to run a sewing machine,
and for two weeks he receives no
wages, but a good deal Of certain
kind of training. In the rarest
instances is he tailor, being almost
always unused to manual labor, and
those two weeks are the hardest Of
his existence; after that time he
earns from one dollar to dollar
an a quarter daj and reaches the
goal of two dollars after a long
apprenticeship. Out Of his wages
he sends money to wife and children,
OF aged parents whose support he
is, and as America is still a large
gold field where money is picked up
The wife and children are anxious
~ waiting to join him and he is saw
ing money for their tickets.
Pitiful was the story of a cloak
presser who has wife and four
children on the other side and
who has been almost heartbrokon
because he has been here two years
and has been kept by ''hard luck"
from sending for them. I worked
by his side for day, receiving my
first lesson in cloak pressing from
him, and the last letter from his
wife was so pathetic that it DIRE W
tears from my eyes and money from
my pocketbook toward those tickets.
When the days work was over and,
the possibility of soon seeing his
family was almost realized he said
as we parted, II shall sleep happily
tonigh, " and so, in spite of heat and
sore muscles. -OutlOok. ..

RANSOM.

The other day we received a
pleasant call from Mr.. and Mrs.
Partt, of Bigelow. Mr.. Pratt has
been in Bigelow for about five years
and in that time has won a host of
friends and gained an enviable rep
utation. They do not expect to leave
Bigelow for some time to come and
may we hope they will conclude
not to leave at all.
sOn Wednesday last, Mr.. Gunderson
the government gent whose duty it
is to examine the proposed routes
for rural free delivery was here
looking over the route petitioned
for to start from Rushmore. We
expect that he will report favorably,
but of course, we must wait and
SEQ. He thought there was ample
territory for two routes, one from
Bigelow and one from Rushmore
and so there is, and it is very likely
that both routes will be established
at no distant day.
On Thursay evening last there
was an entertainment and basket
social at the Center school house
and the gathering was large for an
occasion of that kind. The proceeds,
$27.17 will be used to purchase a
library for the school. A good use
for the money certainly. The friends
of the school are highly pleased
with the outcome and feel very
kindly toward the friends from
outside the district who contributed
so much to make the occasion the
success it was. Miss Bessie Sorem,
teacher.

people attended the Farmers 1nsti-

their praise of it, and think them

attended both days and found no
tagging Of interest to the very last.
The subjects discussed are all of
prime Importance to farmers and
they were treated in way SO
plain and yet SO interesting that
the speakers were listened to
throughout with the closest atten-
ton. Mr.. Terry's talk on the raising
of clover was one of the most inter-
esting l ever listened to and if his
suggestions we're reduced to practice
they would I think be worth thous.
ands of dollars to the farmers of

have been a grand success.

HOITY-TO|TY.'
A Hodge Podge of Beautiful
Scenery, Fine Costumes,
And Pretty Girls.

An entertainment styled "Hoity-
Toityn and described ON the program
as q "giddy little skit Of things drn-
matte and otherwise was brought
forward last night at the Colonial
Theatre. 1t was said in the advance
notices that the production was direct
from Weber q Fields, New York.
While this is no doubt true of the
music and lyrics, it is safe TO hazard
a conservative conjecture that most OF
the ladies and gentlemen who took
part in the evenings effort are stran
gers to the interior OF the little Broad
way playhouse.
The "giddy little skit" proved to
be hodge podge of gorgeous and cost
ly costumes, large number OF young
women who delighted TO exercise their
vocal chords in a manner vigorous IT
not melodious, some very attractive
scenery and stage effects, and several
comedians, who gained the approval
of the audience in their efforts to
come up to the ideal standard set by
the Weberfelds of the Metropolis. 1t
is to be regretted that the company,
owing probably to the fact that it
missed train connections and arrived
in town late, did not have a re-
hearsal with orchestra. The music,
such as it is, improves on acquaint-
ance, but the orchestra were strangers
to it last night.
The two chief features for which
the New York production was noted,
were lacking in last evenings enter
tainment. These were the clever bur
lesques on contemporary drama, and
an aggregation of young women who
could sing as well as wear clothes and
look pretty. However, the chorus last
night made plenty of noise, especially
when assisted by their own brass band
on the stage, and the antics OF the
German comedians. proved an endless
source of joy to many OF the audience.
We should like to know, however,
what the Hotel Maryland has done
that it should be made butt OF ridi-
cule by all of our visiting gag"
artists. The stage was rather chilly,
and we are almost inclined TO perpet-
rate the old joke 90 the effect that the
ladies of the chorus did not mind IL,
as they wore bare skin. We will,
however, forbear.
One of the principals, Miss Lillian
Durham, has sweet, flexible voice,
| but it will not bear stretching an oc-
tave beyond high A. The house was
fairly well filed, and the audience
enjoyed the show immensely.
