W. n. EAon INV on Until
after snow flies anyone who
wants to work will have plenty
Of opportunity to indulge.
There is more work of nearly a
kinds around here than there is
men to do it. Anyone around
here who is not working is
either too Internal ornery or too
lazy to get out and earn an
honest dollar. Carpenters want
help. Masons want he lp.
Farmers want help. Nearly
every line of trade wants help
to get the work done that is
necessary before winter sets
in.
Ethan Enterprise: A certain
young man who lives nea r
Parkston took a fair maid of
Ethan out riding and 10. when
the sun descended and darkness
fell upon the land, their hearts
waxed warm towards each
other-this is known as love.
The next morning the smooth
faced swain took his team and
started for the corn field. But
his heart wasn't in his Job.
Hooking his horses together he
drove dreamfully past the cult
vator out to the field and the
horses turning down row he
followed bllssfully along. That
was because his mind was up at
Ethan. 1t is said he trudged
happily along crossing the field
three times before he came to"
enough to know that he didn't
have the cultivator along. This
is fun for the rest of the boys.

Some Of "Srusel" cox's Satire.

Iu the March American Magazine,
Ida NJ. Tsrbell tells the story Of the
Efforts that weEe made in Grants
time to reduce the high tariffs that
were established during the war,
"There is a pretty general frank
admission that the val tariffs ought
not to 60 on, " says Miss Tarbell, "but

''Let rs be to each other instruments

MESSENGER soYs IN BERLIN.
Useful as Escorts for Lone Women
and Substitutes for Nursemaids.

Berlin has just adopted the dis
trict messenger. The boys wear
jaunty polo caps with leather straps
under their ehins like English IN
fantrymen.
Their uniform is blue with red
pipings and red stripes down the
seams of the trousers. The coats
are military blouses with stiff, braid
ed upright collars. There are SIX
buttons in groups of two so arranged
that both regular and shoulder belts
may be worn. The latter has a regu-
lar cartouche case for the safe keep
ing of letters or small parcels.
Oddly enough, it is not so much
in a business way that the system has
attracted the Berlinese. They have
taken it up as a kind Of social and
domestic auxiliary.
The boys are already in request as
escorts to lone women this is a spe-
cial boon in a city where a respect
able woman can hardly stir out Of
doors after dark without either es-
cort or chaperon.
Many households are also saving
the expense Of a nursemaid by call
ing a boy to trundle the baby's per-
ambulator for an hour or so or per-
haps to romp with the larger chill
dren in one Of the parks. Boys are
also seen giving French poodles their
airings and Berlin lovers are said
to have found them a more trust
worthy medium of communication
than the mails.
The peaceful Berlinese are not yet
accustomed to the novelty and as the
boys go about the streets on their
various errands crowds stand to gaze
at them. The boys are rigidly
drilled, especially in politenes8.

PLEASED THE BOSTON MAN.
Thought Indian Was Acknowledging
Culture of Modern Athens.

The following story is often told
among the old pioneers and more
enlightened Indians of Oregon.
though it has probably never ap.
peared in print.
At the time the Hudson Bay com
pany was founding Che city Of Port
land in the early ifties, there was a
party of Bostonian spectators To-
Gated farther up the Columbia river.
This party was often referred to as
"the Boston men" and from fire.
quently hearing this expression, the
Indians came to apply the term Of
"Boston man" as their only express
sion meaning white man. In further
explanation, the Indian word for
expressing bad and dishonest is
"cultus."
One DAY while a number OF In
dams we're sitting by the roadside, a
couple of the Boston spectators not
versed in the lingo Of the Indians,
coming upon them, stopped to see
what they were doing.
An old Indian looked up and,
turning to his friends remarked
"cultus Boston men" Dad and
thievish white men).
Then one Of the spectators
turned to his friend and said in
amazement:
Gust to think that even these
poor ignorant Indians acknowledge
the culture Of the Bostonian."
