Some enterprising newspaper could
secure the most interesting reading by
asking a number of men to write on
what their homes do for them, how they
make ends meet, what they save, and
how they manage their domestic 6n-
ances. The statement in a large daily
paper the other day, the Argus-Leader,
that scarcely any man with a salary,
saved cent of his income, is most
startling piece of news, if it is true.
What is the matter with the man who
can lay nothing by on a reasonable sal
ary?> Is the trouble with the man and
his habits, or is it with the enormous
cost of living? The Observer is of the
opinion that more than half the trouble
is that men are altogether too extrava.
CANT in their tastes and habits when
they find it impossible to lay anything
by each month. Let the men them
selves write on the subject.

1t Is the sweetest name of all names ex'

Il will try and write verse or two al
a substitute for Santa Claus:
I've been reading in the papers that they
tried to knock me out,
Tried to stop the children's idol on his
loving Christmas scout,
And they tried to send my letters to the
morgue. and Just because
or the selfish pessimistics that's afraid of
Santa Claus.
But the Savior comes on Christmas and
He helps me pack my load;
He is with me in the palace and the
humblest abode,
With His "Suffer Little Children" chill
dren love Him more because
He knows the childreu's wishes and
He tells old Santa Claus.
So want to say "God Bless You," and
the children bless you, too,
And some day you may be president,
through love they have for you,
And remember young Abe Lincoln was

When they hung old Pessimiser ON Q

With love and blessings from your old

When one finds he Is out of sympathy
with his town, and can only say good
word for it coupled with an apology, he
ought to get out. Many people fall into
a sort of unconscious habit of growing,
but it's a miserable habit. Such people
make ofthemsslves dead weight, while,
of course, they imagine themselves par
ticularly independent. The individual
has about all he can do to get along un-
der bis own loads. and he wants help
and encouragement from those going his
way, and who are identified with him in
interest. So with the town. 1t has its
interests to care for, and it needs all the
pluck, all the energy, all the co-opera
ton and helpfulness Its citizens can pro
vide and bring to besr.-Nisland Press.

Directions for Shipping Christmas Pres
ents by Express.

ents by Express.
Patrons of Express companies who
contemplate sending presents for Christ
mas, should have them in the hands Of
the Company not later than the 18th of
December. There is nothing quite so
disappointing to the donor as the delay
of present after Christmas Day. 1t
takes away the sweet sentiment em
bodied in these gifts and very greatly
disappoints the receiver. Use wooden
boxes for packing when possible. This
reduces the risk of loss and prevents
damage. 1t would be wise to bring
packages to the Express Office as early
in the day as possible.
Write the address plainly with ink or
cray on, giving street number and Coun.
ty. Write your name and address on
the package following the prefix 'From,"
giving your street and number, and also
enclose in the package one ofyour cards,
Do not enclose money or jewelry in
packages of merchandise. Such artic les
should be sent in separate package
through the Money Department.
Insist upon receipt and have the
value of your package placed thereon
Mark the package paid" if so in
| tended.
Write the word "Perishable" on your
package if 1t contains matter of per
ishable nature.

FIRES IN NATIONAL FOREST.
The Burlington Route Pays S25, 600
for Damage Done National
Forest Timber.

Supervisor lines states that he has Just
received word from the Denver Office of
the Forest Service that the Burlington
Railroad company has deposited with
the Treasurer Of the United States $685.
600, in payment for all the damage done
to the Forest by fires for which the rail-
road company was responsible during
the season of 1910; also to reimburse the
Government for the expense incurred in
fighting railroad fires.
The money paid by the railroad com.
pany to be placed to the credit of the
Forest Service, is Forest Service receipts.
rs per cent OF which will 60 to the coun-
ties located within the Forest Reserve
for school purposes and the construction
of roads.
Supervisor lines states that he con-
siders that very satisfactory settlement
has been made with the railroad COM
pany. The case was settled by COM
promise which made it unnecessary to
perform an enormous amount of work
and incur an additional expense which
would have been required to have taken
the case through the courts. Court pro-
cedurs would also have meant much
longer delay in securing settlement. 1t
was necessary, however, to secure a great
deal of detailed information concerning
the origin Of the fires and it was only
due to the fact that great deal OF atten-
ton had been paid to this feature of the
work that satisfactory settlement could
be reached.
The cases of 1910 have been closed on
the official records of the Forest Service,
and there are but few cases pending for
the season Of 1911, since during the sea-
son just past, the railroad company has
used great deal more precaution against
allowing fires to originate from the op-
Grafton of their trains. They are also
clearing strip 200 feet wide on each
side of the railroad track of all inflam.
msble material and it is thought that as
soon as this work is completed there will
be but very little II any danger from
railroad fires.

Big Game Killed During Hunting Season.
Some time ago Supervisor lines re-
ceived request to report for the Biolog-
ical Survey the number of deer which
were killed on the Hsrney Peak Ma
tional Forest during the hunting season.
He has just compiled reports from the
various Rangers who have reported the
number Of deer which were killed in
their respective districts as accurately as
possible for them to secure the informa-
ton. The report shows that total of
9s deer were killed during month of
November.
The Biological Survey is collecting this
data for the purpose of compiling sta.
tistics to show what the value of game
is to the various States throughout the
Union. As published in last weeks
issue of the CHRONICLE, the Treasurer Of
Custer county issued 81 big game Ii
censes; las gun licenses and two non.
resident licenses, at $25 each. Super
Nioot AuOo uoo JuoG iSSctNOu hOu tuO
Pennington County Treasurer that he
issued 50 big game licenses at IS each,
and COZ gun licenses at 81 each. The
total received, therefore, by Pennington
and Custer counties for license is 81, ,547,
four-fifths of which, according to the
State law, is available for paying boun-
ties on predatory animals, which per-
haps destroy more game such as deer,
prairie chickens, partridge. and other
birds than all hunters combined.
In another year, owing to the money
which will be paid for bounties on pre-.
datory animals and the efforts of Forest
Officers, predatory animals in this COM
munity should be thing of the past, at
which time, we will have much better
hunting than at present. With game
more plentiful and the predatory ami.
mails exterminated, so that no bounty
money would be required, no doubt the
State Legislature would consider favor
ably reduction in the residents license,
which is at the present time $500 and
was the source Of considerable complaint
among the various settlers during tbs
past hunting season.

In the last two years of the Taft ad-
ministration 81, 500, 600 has been paid in
fines by those convicted of violating the
provisions of the Sherman antitrust law.
This has been enough to pay all of the
expenses Of the department of justice
and is one of the reasons why those in
the trust business would like to see the
law repealed. 1t is consequently one OF
the reasons why the common people do
not intend that it shall be repealed.
Colonel Roosevelt is still very popular
with the American people but he is of
on the wrong foot when he undertak es
to use that influence for the repeal of a
law under which SO much has been &C.
complished for the peopie.--Sioux Falls

Business failures for the last week in
this country number PIG as against 293
the previous week and 2l7 the cores
ponding week one year ago. This is the
lowest record of failuresin many months
and ought to be an indication of busi-
ness recovery and less pressure on the
part of credit interests than formerly.

were in the western states. This is
twenty less failures than there we're in

There was the same relative decrease in

in the number of failures.
