TELEPHONE Es.

Telephones are much Of a necessary
calamity as are college yslls and ex
presidents and boys who part their hair
in the middle. At various times ant
places the initiative and referendum
have been invoked by the people to
prevent hello girls from using slang any
more shocking than the language of q
man when he goes to the train to NEE,
his mother-in-law, and receives instead
q message (collsct) stating that she will
come on the 2:30 a. IN. passenger train
As means of inculcating and main.
tanning the almost lost art Of profanity,
the telephone runs close competition
with gasoline automobiles, talkative
BARRIERS, rotten umpires. and gum.
chewing school girls. The only thing
the American people hate worse than
they do the telephone is the fellow who
is supposed to keep the thing in order.
The telephone was probably conceived d
in the mind of respectable man, but il
the police could ascertain his name they
would lock up his descendants to pre-
vent further crime. The only peo-
pie who have never cussed telephone
are the natives of Africa and deaf and
dumb people who sell lead pencils on
the street corner 1t is only a narrow
gulf between saying "Hello" dozen
times. and then saying the same word
with the last syllable first. If you have
never tried this you are not a typical
American citizen and you ought to be
exilsd to Pierre or Beverly or oven to
Paris.
The telephone has been the scene of
many a heartrending apology. Once a
travelling man in dinky little town
was trying to get central and when the
creamy ribboned vision got wrathy he
said "Oh, don't get excited. Keep
your shirt on" The telephone manager
at once went over to the hotel and or
dered him to apologize to her. He
called her up again, and recognizing her
by her snappy vocal embelish ments.
said: II want to apologize. You can
take it off you want to, for my train
will leave in twenty minutes" After
this the girl always had grudge against
that man, and she even tried afterward
to have him nominated for Congress.
The telephone may be all right but
there ought to be muffler attached by
law to the ears of the old hens who
gossip over it twice year, six months
each time.-Nagrom.

Federation Meeting.

One of the most enjoyable and inter-
estin: meetings ever held in Custer oc-
Cured at the gymnasium building Tues
day, the affair being the business and
social meeting of the Custer Civic Fed
Grafton. The business meeting con.
vened at 7:15, and by eight o'clock the
house was almost filled with members
and visitors. The literary and musical
program which followed consisted of a
debate and of music by the orchestra, by
a girls chorus under the supervision oi
Mrs. William Nsvin, and boys' chorus
under the management Of NJ. A. Willis.
All three of these organizations perform
ed so creditably that they were encored
emphatically, and the participants are
deserving of much praise for their time
and effort spent in preparing 80 delight
full an array of musical delectations. The
debate was on the resolution that COL
lege education for the high school grad
uate who is to become bread winner
does not pay, the affirmative being up
held by w. F. Hanley, Miss Millie
Heidepriem and F. w. Sellers, while the
negative was advocated by M. J. Bailey,
Mrs. c. E. Perrin and E. J. Morgan.
The judges, DR.. M. Long, W. A. Nevin
and Mrs. s. E. Ainslie, brought in ver-
dict for the affirmative considering the
debate as whole, no points having been
recorded individually. Following the de-
bate, Master of Ceremonies NJ. A. Willis,
read the official organ of the organize
tion, the name of the paper being Fedsr-
alton Flips. No end of originality and
humor was shown in the material in this
and much interest was shown
In it's reading.
Altogether the meeting was a pro
nounced success, and the ones who
planned SO splendid program are de-
serving Of appreciation.

THE PARCELS POST
Is Boon to Merchants in Small Com
munities--Should Advantage Of
Opportunity be offered.

The parcel post was put in operation
January lst, and the mail order houses
are prepared to advantage Of every op-
portunity offered by this new departure,
but how about the village merchant?
The rates of postage within the radius
Of his business is Is cents for eleven
pounds, while the mail order house over
1900 miles away must pay $1.32 for the
same number of pounds. The village
merchant can compete in the time of
delivery with an advantageous handicap
Of five to eight days from order to dsliv-
cry. The mail order trade 10 cash with
order business. and the village msr.
chant has it in his power to capture
much of this business in his locality CO.
ing after his trade in systematic way.
The local papers will serve in place of
catalogues, and hs can inform the coun-
try patrons of the advantage he offers in
competition with mail order houses in
quality of goods, time Of delivery, and
in many localities the telephone can be
utilized to solicit trade and receive or
ders. He must satisfy these customers
by the money back" plan, as a guaran-
ty of satisfaction "cash with order" sys-
tenn.
In the Northwest the mail order
houses are so far distant that the village
merchant has distinctive, if he grasps
the opportunity at once, prepares for
satisfying the wants of the country pa
irons and solicits the business. The
village merchant must advertise for
business, solicit business, show quality
of goods, guarantee satisfaction and get
busy at once.

Portion Of "Lame Johnnies" Fortified
Log on Exhibition.

| hok oA HAhlpltlOus
Life in early days in the Black Hills
is forcibly called to the minds of old
timers by an exhibit in the window oil

labeled: Section of wooden leg of Lame
Johnny" The exhibit is a petri6cation
and was sent to Ernest Schleuning by

recent cold snap a party of old timers
were gathered about the stove in Billy
Bodenner's grocery store and they fell
to recalling incidents in the early hist.
ory of the Black Hills. The reminis.
cences reverted to the career of "Lame
Johnny" who was a noted horse and
cattle thief and stage robber.
Mr.. Young affirmed that the limp ia
the dssperado's leg was acquired by q
bullet while others maintained that one
of his limbs was of wood. A wager oi
$50 was made and the party repaired to
the bandits grave on "Lame Johnny

BOOSTERS ALL ALONG THE LIME.

BOOSTERS ALL ALONG THE LIME
Pierre Capital-Journal: The mem
bers from the western part of the state
are boosters along the line, and they
want everything they can nail down in
the way of state development. Their
long suit is irrigation and forage expert
msntation, along both lines of which
they desire to work out in some manner
which will allow them to establish and
maintain irrigation districts, and at the
same time avoid the weakness ofthe bill
of two years ago, which ran up against Q
constitutional provision. As to the de-
velopment of forage plants, they want q
good sized appropriation for continuing
the development work which has been
carried on for the past year by Prof.
Hansen of the state school of ofagriculture.
They are now, with his assistance, de.
veloping species of sHslfa which they
have proven will grow on high gumbo
points with less than ten inches of rainfall
in year, and make = thrifty growth
with that amount of moisture. The
same plants without any covering of
snow have this winter had test of more
than twenty below zero, and if they can
stand such extremes and come through
all right, they practically assure the
whole ofthe western part of the state
being alfalfa territory. The principal
work at the present time is the breed
ing of q hybrid which will combine the
best qualities of the ordinary blue flow
cred alfalfa with the hardness of the
Siberian yellow which shows its endur-
ance, and it is for this that the Stanley
county delegation and others west ofths
Missouri will ask an appropriation sutfi.
cient to push the work. They are also
enthusiastic good roads boosters, and
also want an appropriation oftwo thous-
and dollars for photographic survey
work along with their general irrigation
ideas.

ARMY
COMES TO DRAW
ITS PENSION
Fulton County Veterans Are
Receiving Their Money
From the State.

Pension day should be renamed ra-
iuvenation day." remarked a veteran
who stood in the dwindling line at the
Office of Ordinary J. r. Wilkinson
while a great portion Of $4,000 was
being turned over to the survivors IF
the sixties"
Cold weather, storms. trials and
POPULATIONS don't keep the boys away
when they get the word there's some
thing doing in the pension line and
they're about as happy to-day as
they've been in a long, long time" he
concluded as he came nearer the nav
desk to get his scrip.
In the line were some two or threa
with a vacant sleeve. These. or those
who have lost a leg or foot, get the
highest pension-$1O0.
1,400 Pensions Paid.
One thousand four hundred pensions
are paid by the state in Fulton county.
Seven hundred and sixty-eight of this
number are soldiers and 632 the de-
pendent widows of soldiers. who are
drawing the same pension their hus-
bands drew, or would have drawn had
they survived the war.
It had been several years since the
pensions in Fulton county had been
paid so late. Last year it was one of
the first. Naturally the veterans ex-
pected the same thing this year.
The delay peeved them almost as
much as did the delay in the march
from Manassas to Washington. Every
day particularly within the last few
weeks, the phone in the ordinary's Of
flee was answered as often as 200 times
daily.
Got any money for us boys YETI"
was the question.
Not yet. Wen let you know when
We get it," was the stereotyped answer.
But the very next day, the clerks say,
they could detect the same voice and
the same inquiry.
AS matter of fact, the state fur
uished the necessary fund much earlier
than 1t was expected, and it was
through the solicitation of Ordinary
Wilkinson it was secured as early as it
vas.
The necessary checks had hardly
been made out yesterday morning when
the first veterans arrived, or, as a mat
ter Of fact, We're waiting for the Office
of the ordinary to open.
Pension Day Reunion.
4 great number of the veterans who
draw pensions are unable to attend. the
reunions or attend the meetings of the
cAmp to which they belong. and the
meeting at the Office of the ordinary on
pension day" is as much a reunion as
anything else.
Very often it happens that "comrade"
asks for "comrade" and finds that dur
ms the year his widow has become the

vt it is more an occasion for joy
than one for sorrowful reCOllections.

one, we mark the passing like We uscG
