YOUR OWN HANDWRITING

In glancing over list of "want ad-

morning, we were struck by the fire.

We have been reminded of ten
enough that Dean Stanley and Horace
Greely and many other distinguished
men could hardly read their own hand
writing after the ink was dry; never
theless we were impressed by the fact
that the twentieth-century boy who
writes neat, legible hand, without
scrawling, or blotting, or adorning his
capitals with too many fourishes, has
an advantage over others.
Shakespeare spelt his name in sew

business men who are not advertising
for help always choose those young
folks whose spelling has no eccentrici-
ties. A neat signature may give you
your first start toward success in life.
A misspelled word may stand between
you and your chance.
Another thought came to US in con-
nection with that simple little direc-
tion in the advertisement column. Ap-
ply in your own handwriting. Many
a boy is confident of getting ON in the
world because his father is man who
has won esteem and parcel of infu-

the world takes us for what we are,
and not for what our father has done.
No business man advertising for
help ever inserted this clause, "Apply

Women BARRIERS OF Chicago.

One hundred and fifty Chicago
women earn a living every day
shaving men and cutting hair.
There are twenty-five or thirty
barber shops in the city where wo-
men are employed exclusively.
Fifteen years ago there was but
one woman barber in Chicago but
today there are $50 women barb RS
in Chicago and the supply is not
equal to the demand. They are
not confined to any particular part
of the city. They are scattered
through all sections aud have sue
ceeded in dissociating themselves
from the novelty that accompanied
their entrance into field so long
dominated by men.
Women BARRIERS as a class are
more than satisfied with their Oc-

MARRIED WOMEN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The school boards of jefferson
City and Paris, Mo-, have decided
to elect no more married women as
teachers in their public schools.
This is to say the least, very
commendable act. First of all,
when a woman marries she is sup
posed to have some one to support
her and provide for her. Second
ly, if she performs the duties in
volved upon a married woman she
has no time to give to the school
room, and when she attempts to do
both, the result is she does neither
satisfactorily. Furthermore what
incentive is there for young girls
to strive to secure an education and
to qualify themselves for the pro-
fession of teaching, and then are
in many instances, compelled to go
into the cook kitchen to earn a llv-
ing; because our public schools
are being filled with married wo-
men, many of whom are incompe-
tent. Competency and fitness
should be considered in the imploy:
ment of school teachers, whether
married or single. But other
things being equal single women
should be given preferment when
teachers are to be selected, which
is not the case in many instances
in Missouri.

What One Woman Observes.

Women should always keep
something in store for men they
love.
Love often dies of Indigestion.
It's menu should always be frugal.
A woman often pretends to be
Indifferent toward man whom
she loves. A man often pretends
to love a woman for whom he only
entertains indifference.
When a man loves his home
wife is a fool who does not forgive
him all his shortcomings.
A true woman's friendship is
above all price, but in winning it
you sometimes lose her love.
There is consent in a smile,
while a laugh is often a refusal.
Married life is often like table
d. hote-you get everything but
what you want.
1t takes woman Of strong pur-
pose, strong pocket book and
strong legs to 60 shopping these
tempting days.
With one resistance a day, then
two, then three-what could not a

INCREASED APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED.
In response to request from the Nation
al Board of Managers Secretary Root has
transmitted to congress additional esti-
mates of appropriations necessary for the
sanitarium. The estimated cost of the
sanitarium as contemplated for the present
is 5000, 900. while $1o 600 more is asked
for Immediately for purchases of addition
al site, and $50. 900 for pumping station.

ington as follows:
The sanitarium enterprise is moving
along splendidly at this end The fact is
it is to be the finest sanitarium in the
world. Every one of the Board of Man
ayers is now an enthusiast over the sani-
tarium project, and are taking a great
deal of pride in the enterprise The first
group of buildings. as designed by Mr.
Kimball, will probably cost about $500 600.
The Board, however. adopted the plans
yesterday. I believe we will succeed, in
getting the additional appropriation cover
ing the entire amount at this session of
Congress. 1t will kesp US busy to keep up
with the procession at Hot Springs. The
people there generally have little concep-
ton of what this all means, but they will
begin to comprehend the situation within
few months.

NATIONAL sANITARIUM
some Interesting Facts Relative to this
Magnificent Home for the In
valid Veterans. -;

1t was along in 1898 when the late Gen
cral w. v. Averill then Assistant 1nspec-
tor General of National Homes. while
visiting the State Soldiers Home at Hot
Springs. fingered here few days longer
than usual He had been pleased with
Hot Springs and its surroundings every
time he visited the place. Upon this oc-
casion he was even more delighted than
before and suggested that it would be an
ideal spot for the location of a National
Home for the old soldiers. which would
also be sanitarium. The town is $500
feet above the sea level. high enough to
escape the malarial belt and not too high
to make it Objectionable to weak hearts.
II is situated Just within the mountains
covered with pines.
The air is pure fresh, invigorating and

Tho summers are not warm. nor are the
winters cold. The mineral springs that
abound in the valley are of the temperature

heating nor cooling. The constituent ele-
ments of the waters are especially benehc-
ial to the ills and pains which affect SO
many of the old fighters
General Averill thought that a sanitari-
um at this place would not only prove a
blessing TO the soldiers. but would in the
end be saving to the federal government.
as many of the men would be cured and
the United States would the relieved of
the financial and moral obligation of car
ing for them. He at once secured per-
mission from the Board of Managers and
the state of South Dakota, and sent ninety
eight of the inmates of the National Home
at Leavenworth, Kan. to the state home
at Hot Springs to submit the place to a
ninety-day test The test was emincntly
successful twelve of the men being dis
charged perfectly WELL before the ninety
days had passed, fifty of them being ma
terially improved and all but four being
helped.
The result of this test was submitted tc
General Franklin, then president of the
Board of Managers, and the work for the
establishment of a home and ''sanitarium
at Hot Springs was begun.
THE BILL is PASSED
A bill for the sanitarium was promptl,
introduced and was passed by the senate
four separate times but met with rebuAs
and defeat in the House each time unit

during the present session of congress,
when Congressman Martin. together with
the others of South Dakota's able delega-
ton succeeded in securing its final passage
and it was enacted into a law. The first
appropriation was for s17o,o ,ooo and Hot
Springs to furnish the site.
NOT FRIENDLY AT FIRST.
When the bill finally became law the
board started for the Hills in anything but
pleasant frame of mind The members
thought the government had bsen buncoed.
General Martin T. Mcmahon. of New
York City. president of the Board, was es-
pecially antagonistic. The others in the
party were Colonel George w. Steele. of
Marion. Ind, governor of the home at
Marion; General Charles NJ. Anderson, of
Greenville, o.. governor of the home at
Dayton; Colonel Sidney c. Cooke. govern
or of the home at Leavenworth, Kan !:
General Thomas ]. Henderson, of Prince
ton, H. governor of the Danville home,
and Captain H. E. Palmer, of Omaha.
Congressman Eben w Martin, of Dead
wood. S. D.. accompanied the party.
The long tedious ride across the Sand
Hills of Nebraska did not serve to lessen
the antagonism of the soldiers. They felt
as if they we're being taken out of the
world on a wild goose chase. But the
moment the train left Buffalo Gap on the
Fremont. Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Rail
road. their feelings began to soften.
J. R. Buchanan, general passenger
agent of the "Elkhorn" road, who had
worked hard for the project for nine years,
accompanied the party from Omaha. He
is genial man. but he declares that he never
saw party of men who refused SO per
sistently to become interested, until they
came within sight and touch of the dark
pine-clad hills. Along the thirteen mile
run up the beautiful Fall River canyon
from Buffalo Gap to Hot Springs Mr.
Buchanan says he grew easier and more
comfortable at each moment When the
train pulled into the little stone union
station. in front of the hve-story pinl
sandstone Evans Hotel, the soldiers wers
ready to surrender.
CHARMED WITH EVERYTHING.
The party remained in Hot Springs two
days. They we're pleased with everything
with every one. They became as enthusi

THE SITE SELECTED.


This visit by the Board was on July 27
last, when they selected the Battle Noun
tain site. magnificent plateau overlooking
the city and surrounding attractive land
scape.
From the bluff in the rear of the Evans
Hotel eastward to Battle Mountain is a
long. gentle slope about a mile across.
Then the mountain side rises precipitious
ly till the level summit. 1900 feet above,
is reached. Toward the north the land is
a succession of comparatively level
plateaus dotted with evergreen groves.
with canyons and rugged. rocky. crags and
peaks. and an occasional spring or brook
to make the scene fascinating.
A NATIONAL. PARK.
Captain Palmer. riding over this country
in company with Congressman Martin,
Colonel Kellar and others of the local COM
mittee was struck with its peculiar fitness
for vast park No sooner had the idea
come to him than he began action.
Through the Secretary of War he had the
United States withdraw from entry all its
public land there. amounting to about
| fourteen thousand acres. and set it aside
to be used as a part of the Sanitarium site.
This will give the sanitarium stretch of
lGsd from the main street in Hot Springs
I'd y ,attle Mountain. up the hill, across the
plateaus. valleys and canyons. This tract
has now been made a National Park,
which will be fenced, driveways built.
artificial lakes constructed. and other at
fractions made.
The government has already Withdrawn
from public entry one township. about
$4,000 acres, surrounding Wind Cave,
Custer County, and this reservation will
come within two miles of the Sanitarium
park. Captain Palmer wants to have the
government secure possession of the inter
vening land and join the Wind Cave reser-
vation with the sanitarium site and make
one great park of 10000 to $4,000 acres.
INDIAN LEGENDS
There is an interesting Indian legend
of Battle Mountain, which tells of fierce
battle upon the mountain sides between
the Sioux and Cheyennes for the posses
sion of these medicinal warm springs anc
the surrounding attractions. After 3
most desperate battle of three days dura
tion the Sioux came off conquerors anc
they held possession until civilization
forced them to abandon the spot they sc
greatly priced They are still frequen
visitors here by permission from the
Indian Agent, and though peaceable anc
friendly, they delight to linger here
