French mothers have been showing
unwonted ingenuity this winter in
dressing their darlings for the popular
flower dances which are now the fash
ion for juvenile society and carry all
before them. Generally, a number of
blooms are selected and these are
called bouquet parties. The charm of
these parties, remarks the Boston Her.
aid, is that the little people are well
suited to represent flowers, Partisan
society has gone daft over some OF the
designs and also the beauty Of some of
the children. Their dresses are floral,
Of course. Trails of blooms are draped
together from the waists, the ends
floating on the airy skirts, or loose
petals are scattered all over the ma
terial. But this gives little idea of the
chic and the detail of the dress or of
the human ioweret that carries it off.
Nothing has so hit the French taste as
these flower dances, and many of the
elder spectators have grown quite sen.
tlmental about them.

CnInese educational Methoos-

An ediet of 1901 laid down system
Of schools throughout the empire. Two
years later a commission was sent
-s6rOai TO study the question, and in
1905 the old Confucian examinations
were forever abolished, ministry Of
education was created, and it was
ordered that official preferment should
in future be reached only through gov
eminent schools with modern curricu-
lums. The nine-year courses Of the
lower schools are ordered to be taught
in the mandarin dialect, so as to secure
a uniform language. and they embrace
Chinese. mathematics, Chinese and
foreign history and geography, ethics,
and some science. Instead of the old
system which compelled the child to
memorize thousands of characters be-
fore he was taught their meanings, so
that after half dozen years Of study
he was able to read no more than when
he began, the new text books by mod
ern illustrative methods teach an intel
ligent use of each character as it is
learned. The change is revolutionary,
says David Lambuth, in the American
Review of Reviews, for when literacy
10 no longer confined to the children of
those who can afford long years of
study, modern books and papers will
be put within the reach of all.

This swarm-catcher is made entirely
OF galvanized iron and wire cloth. The
dark shaded part of the catcher shows
about the usual appearance of a

The side rails of the catcher are
made of 2R-inch strips of galvanized

and firmly soldered to corner caps as
indicated. 1t does not take very much
time to bend enough for five or ten Of

to the fields to work in the morning
II is best TO keep them confined for
two or three days. After we furnish

Frank Lowe, manager and owner
OF the Carbon Coal Co., consisting OF

by bis mine workmen OF abandoning
his mine and men.
Mr.. Lowe was operating q coal
mine a short distance southeast OF
Panama, employing about 80 mine
workmen.

Mr.. Lowe had made all collections

A meeting was held by the miners
this afternoon, and It is understood
they found enough coal mined still
at the shaftto pay them their wages,

have Elmer Jones, who owns an ad-
joining mine, to take this mine over

Business Men Meet

The Philip Business Mems Asso-
ciation met at the Masonic hall
last Friday evening to discuss and
talk over several important ques-
tions and also elect officers for the
ensuing six months. President
Warner made special appeal to
our citizens to come out. and
about forty gathered at the hall in
answer to his summons. Some Of
the vital propositions to the wei
fare and progress Of our city were
brought up and discussed. Mr..
Warner gave a heart to heart talk
on the future progress of the city,
the result 6f the concentrated and
united efforts of our citizens and
the results they had obtained by
determination and will power in
pushing ahead of all competition
and building up a city of which
they were Justly proud.
He spoke of the first meeting
which the business men held in
McLane & Harrell's hardware
store, when the town of Philip
was hardly more than name; how
it had become u thriving, hustling
little city and surpassed even the
widest imagininxs of the most
sanguine of its promoters; a town
that has been more talked of than
any other place in this part of
South Dakota. Mr.. Warner plead
ed for the business men to keep
on boosting and promoting the
work of the past two years and not
lay down their arms and drop in
to the rut where many of the
towns of our size now are and will
always stay, = small, insignificant
village with no life or particular
reason for existing. In conclud-
ing he asked our business men to
give their most loyal support to
the interests of the town.

GREAT EMPIRE OF
...STANLEY...

Four years ago John Olson took
the contract to transport the mail
from Pierre to Fort Pierre and
commenced his service by carry
ing tho mail on his back to his
skiff. Before two years he had to
use = dray 1t each side of the
river, and be. lost lots of money
carrying out his contract until the
government relieved him by using
the mail service of the cars. Last
night the second railway postal
service west of the river was in
augurated, making four postal
cars daily and four express trains
locslly between Pierre and Fort
Pierre to do what one man did
four years ago. Then there was
about q dozen Offices west of the
Missouri river to the Black Hills.
Today there are nearly one hun
dred in Stanley and Pennington
counties alone, and over fifty
money order offices reporting to
Pierre. Nothing is a greater in
dex of what the settlement has
been than tho growth of the mail
service. No doubt western South
Dakota in the census of 1910 will
show tho greatest proportionate
increase OF population and develop
ment of any like section of the
