Billie Burke Says
MEN RARELY FIND SHRINKING VIOLET"
. trst word; self-consciosness

The hrst word self-consciosnes
kills magnetism.
have found another letter among
the many that come TO me which IN
terests me greatly. II says:
My dear Miss Burke: | am q
girl OF 10 and haven't q boy friend
like the rest OF the girls. / am
not loud nor fnicky, and am not
considered bad looking. | try to
be pleasant with the boys but
they don't seem to care to call at
my home. A certain boy that
care very much for told my girl
friend chat he cared for me and
would come to call on me but lie
simply speaks. Please write and
tell me what can do to make
myself more attractive and TO
make the boys care for me as
they do other girls?"
These are very hard questions 10
answer, my dear girl but from yvuy
letter am afraid you are rather sen.
sitive and self-conscious. You prob
ably are always thinking OF the effect
you are making on the boy to whom
you speak, instead OF saying what you
mean. Try and forget yourself and
enter into the conversation II II In
terests you. without thinking of things
to say that you think will please the
young gentleman to whom you are
talking. Be sincere and sympathetic.
Make yourself proficient In some
thing which will be entertaining
learn to dance, and II you find you
are a graceful dancer you might
learn fancy dancing. Your girl friends
Will often ask you to entertain their
friends In this way. As soon as you
step out into the limelight the boys
will flock about you. II you feel that
YOU cannot dance. learn palmistry. or
to sing rag.time or some other little
accomplishment that will entertain.
Men, my dear, whether old or
young. are queer creatures. They
rarely find the shrinking violet" un-
less its fragrance and sweetness Is
pointed out to them in florist shop
They like the girl whom the other
fellow describes as some girl" when
they speak about her. ! know this is
against the accepted idea Of wha.
men like In girl, but look around az
the popular girls In your set and you
will hnd II true.
The domestic virtues are fine aftes
marriage. but they are not the great
est assets of social popularity, more
Is the pity.
For the boy in question, l see no
eason why you should not invite him
to your home In q frank, friendly
way. When you get him there estart
him to talking about himself and !
am sure he will do the rest.
Just one last word: The popular
girl is the one who forgets herself
and remembers others.

HER IDOL.

She crowned him with a laurel wreath
And gazed into his eyes beneath
To see his soul arise.
She laid her trusting head upon his
heart
And hoped that IL might heal the smart
OF grief In loves disguise.
She held to him her suppliant hands
And said He always understands
That good within me lies"
Blindly sic worshipped and adored
And brought to him her whole great
hoard
or love that never dies.
She never knew his feet were clay
Until one said, heart breaking day
She dropped her eyes.
And found a laughing little maid
Who all unconscious there had strayed
Making mud pies.

that after he had killed policeman
he was going to kill himself.
For more than an hour he kept the

were trying for a. chance to get the
handouts on him. They were at last
successful, while he was taking a
drink Of liquor the police closed in
on him and he was in their power.
The man was drunk and no doubt
insane while making the rash state

jail and placed in chains. 1t was a
state warrant that was issued for
his arrest.
During the hour that he kept the
boys in the room he kept up a flow
of language to the effect that he was

himself and as several heard him
utter these words he will no doubt
face a serious charge in court.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
HEAVY TAX RECEIPTS
IN Billings COUNTY

BEACH, n. D., Jan. 1O-That the
the month Of December was heavy
one in tax payments for Billings coun-
ty is shown by statement made by
the county treasurer's office this week
to the effect that total of $7,94O.46
was received by the county On tax
payments and other income items dur
ing the month just closed. Nearly all
of this amount was paid for taxes
alone. The remainder was for inter-
est on school lands sold and for rent
al of released school lands.
The treasurer's Office is working ov-
ertime getting out statements Of 1911
taxes, while continuing to get in pay
ments for 1910 and preceding years.
1t is claimed at the county seat that
the activity of Sheriff Nelson will re-
suit in getting in good deal of back
tax money which had been left uncol-
lected by previous incumbents of the
office and it is believed the county
will be considerably gamer by the
increased effectiveness of the SER
vice.

BEACH Wants MORE
FIRE PROTECTION

BEACH. Jan. '0.-A fire alarm was
turned in from the Farmers Elevator
on Tuesday morning. which brought
out the engine and good sized
crowd of men notwithstanding the
severe cold Of the weather. The fire
was found in the northeast corner or
the engine room quite for removed
combustible material. and as the wind
was in a favorable quarter there
proved to be no difficulty in putting
out the flames. This fire, however.
together with the later one which de-
vastated the Russell miller elevator,
serves as a strong reminder of the
ned of more adequate fire protection
in Beach. 1t is reported that small
fire was disc "ered at Dickinson'a
Big Store early Monday forenoon, re-
sulting from the necessity of over
heating the furnace during the ex-
cessively cold weather. Every event
of this kind fui Their emphasizes not
only the need of effective fire-ighting
equipment, but also the need of great
caution with stoves, furnaces, pipes
and flues during the colder portions
of the winter !

CHICKEN! RACES.
The Ridiculous "Hen Derby" insti-
tuted by Sir John Ashley.


1t Is suid that the browning triumph
of Sir John AStipy. that inventor of
absurd contests. whose forte ii was to
arrange races between animals which
nature apparently had made most un-
suitable fer the purpose. was the in
stitution of the only races that ever
took place bet tween chickens.
The story is that The idea came to
Sir John during visit to a friend who
kept large number Of hens. He no.
ticcd how rapidly the chickens used to
scurry to their mother when food was
geni"US Sir John with clever notion,
and M mc:;s. he then being quartered
at Windsor. be accordingly unfoIded
to his brother officers his plans for q
great chicken race.
He bought from n farmer hen and
II. brood of chickens. Each officer was
I" ch"S" II chicken and mark 1t with
a ribbon. AZ that he could easily recog-
ni2r il. The hickenS were to be placed
about fifty yards away from their
mother. and whichever Of them reached
her first IN answer to her cackle when
food was thrown to her was to be ad-
Judged the winner.
And SO this ridiculous "hen Derby"
came off in the barracks at Windsor
and WAS witnessed by nearly the whole
brigade Of guards. who travelled down
from London especially to see it.
The race was such a success that 1t
was arranged to repeat it the follow
ing week. 1t might possibly have be-
come regular institution and rae
irC stable Of chickens might have been
added to the attractions at Windsor
had not Sir Johns chicken won OH
each occasion with such ease as to
cause suspicion In the minds of his
competitors. Indeed, It was found, it
is said, that in both races Sir John had
selected a sturdy young cockerel who
was much too speedy for his sisters.
When victory was certainty for one
particular, competitor the contest, of
course, lost interest. and so the chicken
races at Windsor came to a sudden
end.-New York Herald
