Walter Brandt Of Gregory County Hero
of Story

Sioux Falls, S. d., July special
to The News: Walter Brandt, a
prominent thresherman of Gregory
county, has reason to believe that he
was not born to be killed by an acct
dent. He has just withstood an acct.
dent which would have killed most
men. While caring for the engine Of
his threshing rig the feed pipe leading
from the boiler to the cylinder burst.
The escaping steam struck him
squarely in the face, badly scalding
his entire face. But this was not the
most serious part of his experience
In addition to being scalded by the
escaping steam he was struck in the
breast by a heavy casting weighing
fully 100 pounds. The force of the
double blow from the escaping steam
and casting was sufficient to hurl him
backward a distance of thirtyeight
feet When picked up it was thought
he was dead, but after a time he re-
gained consciousness and will recover.
Fortunately the blow from the heavy
casting did not break any bones in
his chest, otherwise he would have
been killed.

MOST WOMEN NOT POLITE.
A Man Speaks on Interesting Subject
of Women's Manners.

of Women's Manners.
ST. Paul, MINI, July 3.-"The aver
age woman is not polite" said a man
recently-just think of his daring to
say it-but curiosity triumphed and
he was allowed to continue, 81 have
been watching this thing for years
and | suppose you will think me lost
to all sense of decency if | say that
most men, even those in the rougher
walks of life, are naturally more po-
lite than most women. | will venture
to say that | have given my seat in
the car to a woman about once a day
for ten years, and l think | am safe
in saying that not more than one in
dozen of the women have said thank
you. The majority of them have
glared me out of the seat, and then
pumped into it as if had taken some
thing that belonged to them; | will
make one exception, business women
are more inclined to be polite, or at
least to play fair, than women who
have always been taken care of and
just naturally think that the world
exists for them.
"Why is it that a very courteous
woman is sure to have it spoken of
and noted? Because they are so rare.
Now, so long as you asked me will
speak my mind, and then you can
argue the matter. In my place of bust
ness, free phones are placed for the
accommodation of the public-a cour-
tesy by the way, which is entirely
gratuitous and done solely for the sake
of good fellowship. Of course, our
clerks often have to use these tele-
phones, but the other day woman
came to the manager and complained
that a clerk talked a long time at the
phone and she had to wait! The man.
ager gently told her that the business
of the store had to be attended to
first, on our own telephones, but she
could not see it and said that it was
very important that she should speak
to her dressmaker just then, and she
would go somewhere else! We re-
garded this more in the light of
promise than a threat. Now, to make
good my original proposition, | want
to say that of the many who use our
phones-and there are hundreds every
day, and the same women too-just
one says, as she enters may | please
use the telephone" and as she goes
out, always says thank YOU Well,
she is known all over the store; her
manners make a positive sensation.
Do you think it would be so if the
average woman was polite? And, by
way of contrast, a dozen men come in
during the day, and ask if they may
use the phone.
perhaps you think me hard, but if
had not actually had so many painful
experiences of this kind, I would not
| be so firmly convinced that the
| large majority of women are lacking
in good manners
THAT druggist you talked to recent
ly knows; he suffers more than the
rest of us, Now, of course, most boys
, and men start out with the idea that
women are to be treated with chivalry
considered, taken care of and given
everything. But after a very little eX
perience of the way in which most
women take everything for granted
and appear to believe that things just
naturally belong to them, men get
over being polite Why haven't you
noticed how many more men are keep
ing their seats in cars, than used to-
