Tea Girl In Trouble.

EiitOr CHeary of the Harrisburg
journal i, something OF a wit and
tells a good story on a Lennon young
man vino attended a moving picture
show at Sioux Falls recently:
The young man sat behind a very
charming young lady with an umbrel-
la hat on her head that almost shut
out his view Of the pictures. He was
considerably disturbed but said moth
ing. being inclined ufbaShfulness.
Gazing wistfully at her beautiful
neck and well shaped shoulders, he
observed a grey thread hanging from
the back of her dress and thought he
would remove it. Grabbing it in the
sOmbre light of the room he gave it a
gentle pull: it came but there was no
end t. it, and desiring to relieve the
young lady Of a seeming EN- barraSS-
mem, kept pulling, hoping to reach
the end ia a moment. He pulled and
pulled but there vas no end. Then he
became frightened and not knowing
what else to do, began winding the
thread into a ball, and the ball grew
ii size as the moisture increased 90
his for ehead, and just as the last
scene on the canvass thrilled the
audience with admiration, the end Of
the thread came to his nervous fingers
and then he quietly placed the big
ball in his lap and waited with a beat
ing heart for some horrible discovery
on the part of the young lady who
arose and in seeming fright shook
her skirts and felt Of her waist, she
looked at the floor and then at the
young man still seated behind her;
cit if her hat vas on straight and
d eparted in a hurry, apparently
frightened, holding her summer coat
tightly around her angelic form. The
young man arose with the big ball Of
thread under his coat and walked out
Sheepishly expecting to meet d police
nan at the door; none being in sight
he made a bee line for the Great
Northern depot where he sat for six
mortal hours with that big ball under
his coat waiting for a train to LennOX,
nd every time he saw a policeman
h e thought his time had come, and
Just before the train started who
should walk up to the ticket Office
but his lady Of the thread. He a.
most tainted and stumbled into the
smoker to wait events. He was sure
he had stolen something from the
young lady, but for the life of him he
couldn't tell what. When the train
topped at Tea the young lady got of
and he breathed easier. On arriving
at LennOx the young man consulted
Editor Travaillie as to the texture
and design of ladies underwear and
tn en- showed him the big ball. MY
dear boy" said the Editor, you have
robbed a woman Of a very necessary
garment, and you are liable to arrest.
I'll run up to Tea and see what I can
find out, and this is what he learned
from a third party who pledged him
to secrecy. Miss - told me this

BIRD MAN AT THE STATE FAIR
Curtiss Flyers Will Soar Every Day
During the Week, Aeroplane
VS.. Automobile.

The greatest aviation meet In the
west will be featured at the coming
South Dakota State Fair. The Cur
tiss flyers have been secured at great
price, and will Soar high above the
grounds every day during the fair.
The management is making a great
effort to cur the famous Lincoln
Beechy, whose recent flight over
Niagara Falls was the sensation of
the year. Beechy is one Of the most
daring birdmen in the wOrld-he flies
over mountains and anywhere, high
in the air, beyond the sight Of man.
The Curtiss people have inspected
the grounds and estimate that moth
ing should hinder them from NJ aking
record breaking hightS-and this they
are planning to do. For real daring
and sensational interest, nothing can
compete with this feature.
Nothing is too good or too expensive
for SOuth Dakota, and the very fact
that this feature will be presented at
U fair places the South Dakota fair
among the few great expOsitiOnS at
the top Of the list. The great reputa-
tiOn Of the CurtiSs flyers limits their
operations to the greatest fairs only.
On Monday, the first day Of the
fair, there will be al exciting race
between the aeroplOne and an auto
mobile. No one Can afford to miss
this contest between land and air
loco motion. The educational value of
this aviation meet can not be over
Stimated, and not to see it is to suS-
tain a tremendous loss.

Long Distance Phone Service

The telephone ls considered one
of the gfeat modern conveniences,
A great deal has been said and
written about the wonderful revolu-
ton it has brought in the matter
of inter communication between
people, cities, and sections.
But when the service is bad, in
incompetent hands it is immensely
disappointing. Like every other
business a great deal depends on
the management. Some commun-
tiles are tormentingly humbugged
by incomplete local systems and
poor management. Fitzgerald is
particularly fortunate in having a
very excellent local system, in cap
able hands, but the long distance
service out of the city is simply rot
ten, exasperatingly unreliable and
disappointing. Everything goes
thru Cordele and that office is either
overtaxed or fearfully managed.
A large per cent of the calls
result in failure to connect. The
party at one end or the other be-
comes tired or is called away on
business before the line can be
cleared or the connections made.
We do not know where to lodge a
complaint or we would adopt that
method instead of writing this kick.
We believe in the ultimate utili-
ty of the long distance phone and
it is altogether probable that many
communities are enjoying that
great modern convenience. but as
for Fitzgerald the service is simply
fierce,

Pope Brown the Champion.

Atlanta, Ga, Sep. 14-NeWs that
the hosts of prohibition have tri-
umphed over the "wets" in Maine
has been received with no little
pleasure by the friends and adher-
ents of Col. Pope Brown, South
Georgia candidate for Governor.
The claim is that the triumph of
the anti-liquor interests in Maine
will spur the prohibitionists of Ga.
to greater efforts in the coming
governors election. Mr.. Brown left
last night for South Georgia.
Former Governor, Joseph M.
Brown is said to be on the verge
of amounting his candidacy for the
governorship, and was in Atlanta
yesterday comforting with his
friends. Governor Brown is said to
have reached no definite decision
as yet but may announce at any
time.

The Ladies' Protest.

The ladies of the Woman's Club
have spent their money to clean
up the parks in the center of the
city and entered a righteous protest
against the apparent lack of appre-
citation of their efforts on the part
of those who are in the habit of
making a dumping ground of the
park. Every citizen should feel an
interest in the appearance of the
city and encourage the ladies who
are willing to spend their money to
keep it slightly, and they should
have the support Of the chairman
of the street and alley committe
and of the health officer.

the Boys Corn Club, of tie Second
Congressional District, will be
awarded at the Exposition, during
the last two or three days. Prof.
Campbell. who is in charge of this
work has not yet announced the

1t is exceedingly important that
