TO GIRLS
Vanity and Ambition TO BE Like
other Girls Leads TO Tempt
alton.

Frances Frear in Leslie's: 1t is a
sad thing for any young girl when
vanity or ambition or desire to be
like other girls leads her into temp
tation. All of us live under certain
limitations and we should be content
to do so until we can work out of
them honestly. A case in point is a
young girl who entered the Cumnock
School of Oratory of Northwestern
university. BY hard work as a ste
nographer she saved $S5, and with
this she entered the school of ora
tory. She had hoped to find employ
ment as stenographer there, but in
this she was doomed to disappoint-
ment. Then began a career of petty
thefts among the students of the uni
versity, ending in the arrest of the
young girl. In explanation of her
disgrace she said: II was so anxious
to remain at the university, and to
be able to dress like other girls, that
| yielded to temptation"

EXPERIMENT A FAILURE
Homesteaders' Store Eorty-f1ve
Miles from a Railroad.

Spearfish, Feb. 6.-The closing up
of the affairs of the Consumers Sup
ply company of Tivis, a frontier
hamlet of Pennington county, by w.
r. Bondurant, who was appointed re-
ceiver of the company is of interest
for the reason that the place of bust
ness of the company was one of the
largest at an interior point in South
Dakota.
For years the store had been one
of the sights of the country, standing
on the prairie, forty-ive miles from
a railroad.
The store was equipped like a de-
partment store in a city of $4,000
population.
George Il. Tivis, for whom the
town, consisting of the store, was
named, had been in the country for
many years and had conducted a
small store on his ranch. Later he
formed the Consumers Supply COM
pany, with a capital of $4,000, built
a magnificent store, newspaper office
and bank building.
The store was stocked with every
thing from threshing machines and
traction engines to spices, including
a complete line of groceries, clothing
and hardware. The enterprise was
backed by several old cattlemen, one
of whom made himself responsible
for $4,000 worth of goods purchas-
ed from a big eastern harvester com
pany. The harvester company has

opportunities for work and advance
ment will open to them If only they
get to the city. The struggle they
have to go through is a rude shock
to their dreams, and many a girl
yields to temptation in one form or
another, rather than give up these
ambitions and dreams. Such yield
ing always means ruin In the end, not
only to ones dreams, but to charac-
ter as well. How much better to live
