Edits a Daily.
Mrs. Alice R. Gossage of Rapid City,
in the southern Black Hills, is proba-
bly, the only woman editor of a daily
paper in the west. Her paper is the
Journal, and it appears each week
day, fresh and crisp and bright.
Years ago her husband, Joseph Cos
sage, was a factor in the political and
| industrial life of the state. His wife's
clever brain and clear sightedness
were often Of immense help to him
then, and, as his health failed, the
energetic woman gradually. took the
management Of the office into her
| own hands until the whole paper
came under. her supervision. There is
no part of the work of producing a
newspaper that Mrs. Gossage cannot
do herself, and for this reason she is
q competent superintendent of the
work Of others.
She specializes book and abstract
work, both of which are very exacting
in their mechanical execution. AS a
writer she has an: epigrammatic style
! that is clear and entertaining.
The club movement in South Da-
kota is plant. of recent development
and growth. Mrs. Gossage has been
/ foremost in promoting it, and has
spent her time and means and trav-
. eled long distances in the interests OF
the federation in the, Hills and in the
state at large.
The clubs of the Hills were the first
to federate. and Mrs. Gossage took q
prominent part in this step and later
| in the formation Of the state fedora

WHY GENERAL GRANT SMOKED


AT a sort Of campfire in New York the
other evening, when the Eleventh Army
Corps association got together to swap
army yarns and punish a whole lot OF
good things to eat and drink, story was
told by General James Grant Wilson as
to how General Grant became an invet-
crate smoker. II seems that after the
fight at Fort Donelscn the northern news
papers circulated the story that General
Grant maneuyered the whole fight chew
ing at the end Of an unlighted cigar. I'm
til then. Grant was an extremely moderate
smoker, but people of the north, believing
he! was fond of smoking, began to send
him cigars: They arrived at camp in
boxes. packages and wholesale quantities.
until General Grant had thousands upon
thousands. He didn't care to give them
away and he couldn't return them, so he
started In to. see what he could do toward
diminishing the supply by smoking. Thus
he got the habit. ~.
