Sioux Falls.-South Dakota a a
hew inventor in the person of Charles
Maar, a well known farmer living near
White, in Bookings county, who las
beer notified by the patent office III
Washington that he has been granted
a patent on a mail carrying device or
his inventeion. The device is
for patrons Of the rural free mail de-
livery routes who reside some distance
from the highways travelled by the rur-
al mail carriers. The device consists
of an endless copper cable unnln
on a large vertical wheel at the house
and a corresponding horizontal wheel
at the road with necessary bracket
supports between. The cable carries
two mail boxes, so placed that When
one is at the wheel by the o the
other is on the wheel at the house.
When the carrier deposits the mail he
starts the box on it's flight, and this
signals the house. BY means OF a
crank and gearing the large wheel is
revolved and carries the mail box to
the house at a rate equal to eighty
miles an hour. The inventor expects
this device will operate easily and eff
fectively at any distance up to a mile.

in thirty years, and had to fry Nome more. In such
a hurry to put on her "other dress" and run over to
Mrs. Pratt's to tell her: MY boy is coming home"
The boy came home. When he took mother in
his arms and held her for a full minute, she couldn't
speak. All choked up. So glad to see him, she
couldn't say a word. And, when she did speak, the
first thing she said, as she looked up into his brown
eyes, was: ooh. my boy, how pale you are!"
He was pale. He knew 1T. Subway air makes no
red blood-corpuscles. Kills some of the red ones
that exist. Nor does the electric light of the sub
way brown the cheek as the sunlight browns the
cheek of the farmer. All the year that he had
been away, mother had carried in her mind the pic
ture of her farmer boy. Never had dreamed that
her farmer boy would come home with a grayish-
white face. Didn't need to say she was shocked.
Looked it. The boy caught the message and laugh
ingly replied:
ooh. mother, all city folks are pale"
During the week that he remained at home, the
boy was kept talking. Father and mother con-
stantly asking questions. Seemed to mother as II
she couldn't ask questions enough. Wanted to get
frst-hand Information about everything OF which
she had read.
Six months after he returned to work, his mother
had an opportunity to see for herself, just how big
was New York. A telegram told her that her boy
had been hurt. She and father found him in a hos
pital, with his head bandaged until they could bare
ly see his eyes. At the end of his run, he had
tried to cross the tracks to catch another train back
and get to dinner more quickly. Didn't see a train
running in the opposite direction. Car struck him.
Picked up for dead. Seemed to have a fractured
skull. Fortunately, did not. Revived in the hos
pital ard would get well.
Oh, but the mothers heart was glad when she
heard the best instead Of the worst. Glad until she
and father went to the boys room. Not his room
in the hospital, but his room in a lodging-house.
Glad until she saw how miserably he had lived. A
dirty street. A dirty house. A dirty hall. A cheer
less room. Little light. Bad air. A skinny bed. A
frayed Counterpart. Not a decoration, save her
own picture. stuck in the edge of a mirror.
Her boy could afford no better place to live. His
pay was only 1928 a day. That is, his pay from
the company was only 1925 a day. The lure of
New York made up the rest that was needed to in
duce him to stay.
Such is life for millions in New York. Not life
as the newspaper dispatches describe it. Not life
as the stage pictures it. Life as it is.
A few draw colossal prizes. A few more draw
good prizes. But if only those should come to New
York who can earn a better living here than they
can elsewhere, a handcar, running oEce a day, would
almost bring them in. Ninety-two per cent. of the
population have not drawn enough prizes to enable
them to own their own homes. Yet people come.
Come from every state IN the Union. Come from
every town in every state-every hamlet. Come
from Italy, Norway, Sweden, Turkey-come from
everywhere.

classic, The Two Orphans. In the cast were
extremely few persons besides the orphans them
selves, as railway transportation and board were
both high. But the show made up in scenery what
it lacked in cast. One scene, in particular, ap-
pealed to the chucklefaced youth. 1t was a scene
in which the two orphans were sitting on the
steps of Trinity church. The snow was drifting
down over their thin shoulders. Broadway was
thronged with pedestrians. Horse-cars flew along
at eight miles an hour. Nobody looked at the Or
phans. But the orphans, silent as little sphynxes,
looked straight ahead-straight up the street.
There was Broadway! The infinite skill of the
scene painter seemed to have carried the street
clear to the horizon. Nothing but buildings and
people and people and buildings till they blended,
at the finish, into an indistinguishable haze Of
paint.
The Nevada youth could hardly keep his seat.
The painted scene had fired his mind with an
intense desire. He must be off to New York.
All during the show, which he saw not, though he
looked straight at the stage, he kept his eyes
riveted to the splendid vista of broadway. The
whole thoroughfare seemed to him to be a treas
ure-house of opportunity. And, at dusk, when the
lights begin to blaze up along the Great White
Way"-ah, it is all just as he had dreamed it to
be! All grand! All surprisingly great!
But, kind friends, he dimes at no lobster palace
that evening. Nor do his magnificent jewels glis-
ter in the horseshoe crescent at the opera. With
the money that he can spare for his evening meal,
he couldn't buy a Holsters tail, and a drygoods
box in an alley would fit him better than a box at
the opera. So, he dimes poorly for sixty cents at a
side-street restaurant, gets a CLASSY eye from the
waiter for not giving a tip, finds a room in which
there is no light by day, nor pure air night or day
and goes to sleep to dream of home and mother.
The next morning, he is awakened by a mis-
ce1laneous assortment Of noises. ranging from
elevated car wheels to horses hoofs. AS he puts
on the shirt that mother Numbered for him, his
heart takes a sudden lurch back to the old roof.
He calls his heart back. He is in New York to
make good. It Is up to him to do it. And, by the
time he is ready to go out to hunt for breakfast,
his nerve Is all back.
With nothing to do but get a job or starve, he
looks for work. He hears that motormen are
wanted on the subway. Half afraid to offer his
services, he nevertheless decides to do so. On the
way to the company's offices. he considers all of
the situations glorious possibilities. Never in
the country did he dare dream that some day he
might make a battery of motors bite off 1000
horsepower Of electricity and snatch eight loaded
cars through the subterranean night.
The good news goes home to the old folks that
their boy is going to run a train in the New York
subway. oh, If the boy could only see the min
gled sorrow and pride that light up his mothers
eyes when she reads the letter. 1t breaks her
heart to have her boy away, but it mends it to
know how emphatically he has made good in the
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1911-05-12

meal ticket at every restaurant. l left my chum
right there. 1 paid my fare as far as 1 could and
beat it the rest of the way
The court, some years back, having broken into
town in substantially the same way, did not hear
the boys story without feeling. During the re-
cital, the judicial mind had gone back to that
other day, now long gone, when he, a penniless
lad, had said good-by to his native town. So he
said to the boy:
my son, let me commend your Judgment. Any
boy who will ride the trucks to New York, in
preference to Going to Chicago and living with
his chum's aunt, has the right spirit. l think this
town needs boys like you, aud l am going to let
you stay. Discharged"
Nothing can illustrate better than this incident
the lure of New York. Perhaps no other city ever
had so large a percentage of the worlds popula-
ton bluffed. A bigger word than "blufed' Is
needed here, but 1t does not come. The point Is
that the city has the power to cast a great spell,
and casts it. She makes no comparisons. To
make comparisons would be to admit that there
are others in her class. She says only: Il am the
wonderful city-come."
The call goes north to the edge Of the frozen
world; east to the point where the east Is west;
south as far as a white man lives, and west till
the west is east. Not everybody comes, but every
body hears. Millions would like to come, but
can't. Everybody would like at least to see the
siren city. And, untold thousands do come. One
railroad thinks nothing of dumping 100000 stran-
gers into New York in a day.
The reason for so much coming Is plain. Ev-
erybody likes to be mixed up with a success. The
bigger the success, the better. New York is uni
versally regarded as a big success. 1t has the
tallest buildings, the richest men, the whitest
White Way that ever cut a streak through the
night, and some Of the most prodigal disbursers
of the circulating medium that ever dazzled any
community.
In a variety of ways comes the message to
mix with this great successful become a part
Of this wonderful bigness. Perhaps the newspa-
pers and the stage do the most to spread the lure.
New York datelines appear over the most impor-
tant items of news. There seems to be only one
place in which anything worth while can happen.
Has Mr.. Morgan bought an old master or formed
a new trust? Where did he do it? New York.
Has Mr.. Rockefeller paid his annual visit to the
office of Standard Oil? Yes-a New York dispatch
SAYS so. Has Mr.. Carnegie slipped in the Icy
park and sprained his ankle? What park Why,
Central Park, in New York, of course. And, when
ever an Italian opera singer, a Russian revolu-
donist, or an Irish patriot comes to this country,
where does he land? At New York. What city
sends out the news? New York.
AS an advertiser of the glories and splendor Of
this great town, the stage is second only to the
press.
Twenty years ago, a Nevada youth went to see
q show in Carson City. The show was that old

weather test, the material being ex-
posed 80 days on the roof without

cloth has passed its examinations sue
cessfully, each yard of each piece is
inspected, being run over machines

thrown out. Next the question of yea
and tear is considered and again the
specification is stated that each special
kind Of cloth will stand a strain of so
many pounds to the inch work way
and SO many pounds to the inch filling
way. So after weighing, the next test
is to cut a sample and try In "a ma
chine the strength of the cloth. If it
won't stand this test the cloth is
thrown out.
After the cloth has been pronounced
perfect for weight and strength, the
dye tests are made: it must stand two
