Fort Pierre-When the ladies of the
Episcopal church looked around for a
place in which to hold their annual
bazaar, the only location that seemed
at all available was the room occupied
ty Bob Yckum's saloon until Fort
Pierre went into the dry" column
this spring. Nothing daunted by the
big sign over the door, which adver-
tised the business formerly conducted
in the building, those In charge of
the bazaar went ahead with their
plans. Patrons of the affair found
prominent Fort Pierre women behind
the bar selling Christmas knick .knacks.
Dolls, doilies and the like took the
place of drinks as stock in trade and a
thriving business was done in those
commodities.

BUSINESS REVIEW
Holiday Buying In Excess of
Other Seasons Dry
Goods Shortage

New York, Dec. y.-Following Is a
review of business the past week by
Bradstrect's Commercial agency:
Trade still displays considerable Wig
or, irregularlity or slackness in this or
that quarter being offset by increased
or sustained activity in many lines.
Thus orders for future delivery con-
tinue on an extensive scale, while
holiday distribution probably exceeds
that of any previous season.
In the dry goods line scarcity OF
various makes of goods is very note
worthy, and while demand, taking the
country as a whole shows no appreci-
able letup, there Is a tendency to dis
courage buyers from rushing in and
bidding up a market that is clearly
short of supplies.
In the iron and steel lines. pig iron
is less active and buying of steel has
abated somewhat. but that industry is
so well filed up with orders (some
plants being booked for the first half
Of neat year and others for a larger
period) that a lull is not expected.
Collections are good and then the
southern reports are more cheerful.

IRRESPONSIBLE
By Maurice Prax.

ELLO. CHOUETTA," cried
Biard as he caught sight Of
l. L his old friend and chum jail
inasse. What is the matter with
you? You look flighty this morning. o.,
And well I may. I intend to begin
to work"
You intend to begin to work ~
cried Biard red with Indignation.
Yes l intend to inherit mother
OmbredOche. the old grocery woman
in Rue Miche-au-F Four"
Inherit her?'
Yes of course, isn't that plain
enough? Don't people inherit every
day with thing like this?H
The object was an enormous butch
er's knife.
Biard burst out laughing.
You! You would begin to tickle
old ladies with slashers! You are too
big a coward for that, old boy. You
know yourself you have a white liver.
You are afraid of the red widow gull
lotine."
.Chacun son gout," said Jalindsse
annoyed. sure enough I do not like
to put my head through the slot.
There is no fun in it to anybody
but .Deibler (the French executioner)
perhaps. But as 1 tell you intend TO
work today and 1 can do it as safely
as if l were clipping coupons"
You think so, l see, but still you
might get arrested. One never knows
about the police. That is what 1 hate
about our profession, we are never
safe
Just what I say, but this time
they may arrest me all they want to
and can laugh at them.
And why?'
Because am irresponsible, you
see
irresponsible? I don't understand.
What do you mean"
I mean that if l am arrested I am
mad, and if / am not arrested 1 am
not. mad. OF course
Biard stared at him and shook his
head, and Jalinasse explained He was
in luck, his Oldest sister Rosalie had
suddenly gone mad and had been sent
to an asylum.
Funny thing, I tell you, Nobody had
any idea that she was cracked, but
a big ghost in her room which danced
about and cried, tomorrow is my
aunt's birthday, give me your feet 10
make a great pie Then she imagined
the ghost began to pull her legs, so
she yelled and screamed and made a
terrible racket until she fell on the
floor as stiff as a stick. OF course
such a thing could not go on so they
sent her away and locked her up IN
an asylum, where she lives ike -
princess without doing a thing"
That is a strange thing I admit"
said Biard, but I do not see what 1t
has to do with justice. That your sis
ter is looney won't stop Deibler from
looping off your head if he is told to
do so by the black rObed one"
Now I had thought you had a little
more sense than that" cried Jalinasse-

you never learned anything? Chop

that I need to do is TO say that my

Both were. able to prove an allbl, but
a trOuser button was found bearing

School teachers have three months
vacation without pay. When labor
ing man gets this kind of a vacation
he calls it a lockout and wants to
know what the government is going to
do about it,
People choose their vacations too
carelessly and place too much faith IN
railroad folders and rumOr. The best
way to choose a place in which to gorge
ones self with rest is to pick it out the
year before and encourage a friend to
90 to it. If he comes back still a friend
YOU can risk it.
OF course, some men suffer severely
during their vacations and get even BY

villains are very few.
Vacations are valuable because they

Ployes should always spend their yaca-

VACATION is one of the few
~ CANDLES that aren't prohibited
by law. You put in all the
money YOU have saved and draw a two
weeks rest out of a grab bag. If you
win you get a nice room next to the

COW. If you lose YOU get shivers at
northern beach, canned goods in a coun-
try boarding house or a camping party
in a wet spell. But whatever it is, it
is your vacation.
Vacation consists of II months of
saving, two weeks of scramble, and two
weeks of rest. Some people rest by
chasing a deer through 100 miles of I'M
derbrush and some by climbing a noun

feet. Others rest by playing lawn

- HAMPLAIN'S battle WITH the Iro-
quois. which took place three
~ hundred and three years ago
July %, I6O9-while a very trifling af-
fair within itseii. led to results that
we're to prove to be Of worldwide
Importance
As Champlain. with his two white
companions and Huron allies, was
stealing silently along the west shore
of Lake George. near the point now
known as TfcOnderOga. there was seen
by the starlight coming over the
waters a fleet of indian canoes EacA
side recognized the other, and the
defiant war whOOps made the forest
ring.
1t was 10 o'clock, too late for
battle that night and the parties be-
gan to prepare for the fight which
thye knew would come with the morn
ing's light. Landing at once, the Iro-
quois began building a barricade
while the invaders cursed them all
through the night from their canoes
Early the next morning Champla1n
laIGed and made ready for the attack
It was the first time that the IrOquOis
had ever seen a white man, and they
stcoC half Falsieo with terror at sight
of the supposedly supernatural vista
ton.
Placing the two Frenchmen on
either flank, Champlain stepped out in
front of his indian braves and fired
his arquebus. which he had loaded
with an extra heavy charge Two IrO-
quos chiefs fell dead at the mysterious
explosion An instant later one of the
other white men fired, killing the
third chief and the IrOquOis fled in
panic, leaving many prisoners in
Champlain's hands
That was all; very trifling affair
indeed. But the consequences of that
insignificant brush in the woods on
the shore of Lake George were ire
mendous
That fight was the beginning of the
deadly hostility between the French
and the strongest indian power on the
North American continent In the
words of the historian, "a few shots
from an arquebus on that July morn
ing had secured for Frenchmen the
most dangerous enemy and for Dutch
men and Englishmen the most help
full friend that the mysterious Ameri-
can wilderness could afford"
1t is possible, If not probable, that
but for that fight near TicOnderOga
