A Chance for 1sheumatics.

The Belle Fourche Bee has figured
out new way for waltzing, so that
rheumatics, and lots of us old folks
may be counted in on the waltz. 1t
says: "The little informal dancing
parties given in the Gaiety from time
to time are becoming immensely popu-
lar. The reason, possibly, is the inno
vations introduced by some of the boys.
Dave Broomfield has declared that
sitting out" a waltz is now more fash
ionable than dancing, the only differ
ence being you sit instead of dance
The mans right arm is around the girls
waist, while his left hand holds her
right. Her left hand is placed upon
his shoulder. while her head rest low
ingly on his manly "buzzum," and all
they have to do is to sit and listen to
the music. Now, that is something
like it. We have always regarded it a
nuisance to have to gallop mile or
two in order to get good hug. A room
full of people, sitting around on sofas,
hugging to music, is more gratifying
This gives the old rheumatic brethren
another chance to waltz. Most men
waltz, not for the dance but for the
position, and while man may lose his
appetite for dancing, he has got to get
mighty old before he loses his appetite
for hugging pretty girl. Belle
Fourche is always up to date and this
new dance is bound to be popular here,
for we have not found man who is not
willing to blow in dollar on the deal.
Yet many people wonder why we don't

A Washington special says that an
appropriation of $500 was obtained
for Wind Cave park. Another item says:

A Hard Hearted peon,e.

Filial piety finds no place in Tibet
an character. 1t is no uncommon
thing for son to turn his father, when
too old for work, out Of doors and to
leave him to perish in the cold. Tie
superstition that the souls of the dead
can, if they will, haunt the living

by the exercise of cruelty the promise
Of the dying that they will not return
to earth.
AS death approaches the dying per-
son is asked, "Will you come back or
will you not?" If he replies that he
will, they pull leather bag over his
head and smother him; if he says he
will not, he is allowed to die in peace.

Supt. Cobb asked the pupils of No. 6

you ever saw one person do for an
other?" The following are some of the
answers:
Lucille Thorpe-To see your friend
stand up for you when everybody is
against you.
Clara Daniel-The kindest thing I
ever saw one person do for another was
one night 1 was stopping at farm
house, and about O'clock in the even

thing unapproved by his father and
had been sent away from home. AS it
was storming very hard, the man of
the house took him and kept him all
night. The next morning he went with
the boy to his home and received par
don for him from his father.
Bennett Wooster-Once there was an
old woman going along the street that
was very slippery; she was carrying
basket of potatoes that she had pur-
chased and was carrying home. She
had gone all right for about two blocks
until she came to where there had been
some water poured on the walk; she
slipped and fell and being very old she
could not get up. But just then boy
driving horse came around the cor.
ner and seeing the old woman helpless
and cold laying on the walk he stopped
and got out and helped the woman into
the buggy and after picking up the
potatoes he drove her home.

dentally against evildoers so long as they
will cling to their sins.
Our supreme and intense desire is the
salvation, healing and cleansing of all and

A Birthday Surprise.

Last Tuesday was the tenth ami
versary of the organization of the
Shakespeare club. The ladies have
upon many occasions planned and
most successfully executed an enjoya-
able program upon their anniversary
dates for the pleasure and edification
of their less fortunate husbands, who
have no social clubs. This year for
various reasons they had decided to
quietly celebrate the event by them
selves at the pleasant home of Mrs. DIR.
Jennings, where they would enjoy
their regular program for the week
about "Hebrew Musicians"
But Mrs. Jennings concluded that it
was not in keeping with their happy
custom to thus bar the husbands from
enjoying the occasion with them and
she accordingly early in the week
pledged each male member of the
Shakespeare club family to secrecy
and then invited him to come to her
home at 5 O'Clock p. m. Friday-but
not whisper of their coming must
reach the ladies. Three days to keep a
secret from their wives! But it was
easy. The men were prompt and in q
body marched to the home of the
hostess. While Miss Kellar and Miss
Metcalf were so charmingly interpret
ing the music of the great composers
the bold men entered the home. The
surprise was absolute and complete.
Not man had betrayed his trust.
After cordial greetings and the futter
of excitement had subsidized, the ladies
and gentlemen were paired for dinner
by the distribution of cards containing
names of Shakespearean characters.
There we're twenty person who partook
of the most delicious repast.
1t was happy event-for the gentle
men at least-for the clever planning
of which Mrs. Jennings received many
compliments.

VALUE OF A "Bie 'FRONT.'"
How George w. Perkins Became On,
of j. p. Morgnn's Partners.

How George w. Perkins Became One
of j. II. MorEan's Partners.
This story dates back bit, but it is
worth telling. as it proves how .big
front" will co.slt, says the New York
Evening World. 1t concerns George w.
Perkins of j. 2. Morgan & Co. Mr..
Morgan, convinced Of the fact that he
needed another partner, asked Banker
James Stillman to recommend man.
Stillman Immediately named Perkins
George w. Bacon of the Morgan firm
mans choice.
Perkins, vino was then employed by
the New York Life Insurance company
as chairman of the finance committee
at q salary of $4,000 year, accepted
an invitation from ]. p. to call OH him
at his Office. Ignorant of the purpose
Of the appointment, he chatted with
the magnate about the advisability of
preserving the Palisades on the Hud-
son and stuck to it until Mr.. Morgan
blurted out:
IL don't care a snap about the Pali-
sades. What l called you here for was
to offer you partnership in this firm.
I'll give you $25O,OOO year and per-
centage in the profits of the business,
which will equal that amount. That
makes $5OO,OOO year. Will you take
itY
Expecting to receive an instant ac-
ceptance, Mr.. Morgan was surprised to
hear the response:
"I'll think it over"
Don't hurry" said j. P. sarcastical-
ly, and the incident appeared to be
closed.
About a week later Mr.. Morgan re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Perkins, in
which he declined, with thanks, the
kind offer of partnership. Deter
mined then to have him at any cost,
Mr.. Morgan wrote to President Mccall,
begging the latter to let him have Mr..
Perkins on condition that he also re-
tain his post in the insurance company.
An agreement was reached by the big
men to share the services of Mr.. Per-
kins, SO that he now holds $5OO,OO0 q
year job with Mr.. Morgan and large
salaried position with Mr.. Mccall.

The registered drug clerks of Wash

session This bill has been pending Tor
some time, and all that is needed is the
Endorsement OF the Druggists Associ2-
ton of this city. The druggists wish an
amendment and then they viii give the
bill their hearty support The proposed
amendment is that the clerks work sew
enty hours a week Of six days, while the
bill provides for sixty hours work in a
week of six days, making a ten-hour day
The clerks have been working twelve
and fourteen hours in some Of the stores,
and have repeatedly asked for a ten
hour day, which, up to tie present time,
has not been granted them.
It is believed the clerks have the sym
pathy of the public and some of the
clerks declare that their association has
the sympathy Of a number of druggists.
WHO realize that they are compelled to
work too many hours a week,

RIGHTS OF THE DISTRICT
CONCERNING NEW HIGHWAYS
a Matter Involving Claims of Citizens
Referred to Corporation Counsel.

The District Commissioners yesterday
requested the Corporation Counsel
an opinion regarding the right Of the
Board to open Twentieth Street north
east through a school lot owned by the
municipality near the junction Of the
Queens Chapel and Brentwood Roads.
The matter was brought 10 the atten-
ton Of the Commissioners some time
ago by the Surveyor. who sent to the
Board letter from E. y. G. Hazel rela-
tive to the subdivision Of the adjoining
land into lots to be known as Fort
Saratoga" The Surveyor said that the
lot owned by the District lay in the line
Of Twentieth Street and that if the land
was TO he permanently retained for
school purposes it would stop the extern
sion Of the street at that point The
Surveyor suggested that. inasmuch as
the District required property owners to
give f,p their holdings in the opening Of
streets. without reference to private
right, the Commissioners should not
stand in Ihe way Of such extension when
desired by the resident property owners.
It appears from reports on the sub
feet that the lot was bought in 1859 by
the County of Washington School Board
with the intention Of erecting a primary
schooIhouse on it Title passed to the
District Commissioners in the Iegisla-
ton Of 1873 and has remained there
since The adoption Of the highway ex-
tension plans left the lot in the line Of
Twentieth Street
