Next day, thousands of warm-heart-
ed New Workers were packed along
the Water Front all the Way from the
Battery to Grants Tomb, giving royal
Welcome to the Corn-fed Pilgrims. At
any rate, they were Packed.
When Elan and Claudine entered
the Hotel, the discerning Bell-Hops
had them stand back until the others
had registered.
They were Important, but they did
not carry any Signs.
Elan should have worn the Letter
Of Credit on the outside.
After they had taken the Imperial
Suite and invited all the Servants on
the Twelfth Floor to Silver Shower,
they found that the Call-Bells worked
fine. If Elan moved in the general
direction of a Button. a handsome
West Pointer would fit in with
pitcher of Iced Water and then hover
around for his Bit.
Both realized that the first requisite
was lot of new money.
Even when they raped sharply
with a Spoon and ordered Garcon to
hurry up the Little Birds with a
Flagon of st. Regis Bubbles to come
along as Drench, they realized that
they did not look the Parts.
Elan still combed his Hair in the
style approved by the BARRIERS Guide
and Manual" for 1887.
Claudine was fully clothed as far up
as her Neck and didn't have the
Nerve to hoist the Lorgnette.
Elan went out and had himself
draped by swagger Tailor who was
said to do lot of Work for the Van.
der5ilt boys.
In his Afternoon Wear he resembled
the Manager of Black.Goods Depart
ment.
After donning the complete Soup
and Fish, known in swozzey circles as
Thirteen and the Odd, he didn't look
ss much like Waiter as one might
have supposed. He looked more like
the Bus who takes away the Dishes.
Claudine yielded herself up to
Modiste. The good Woman from out
of Town was trife Long in the
Tooth at this stage of our Narrative,
but Mme Bunk convinced her that
she was about half way between the
Trundle Bed and her First Party.
She ordered all the chic Novelties
recommended for F:appers. so that
ELAN began to walk about ten feet
behind her. wondering vaguely IL his
Family was still respectable.
The new Harness and a careless
habit of counting Money in Public
soon gave them an enviable Reputa-
ton in the Principal Cafes. although
they could not observe that they were
moving any nearer to the Newport
Colony.
The shift from Pigs Knuckles to
Ambrosia and Nectar had been a little
sudden for Elan, and sometimes.
when they were darting hither and
thither, from Road.House to Play
House and thence to the Louis XIV
Sitting Room by way Of the Tango.
Joint, he would moan little and act
like a Gutter.
Whereu2on Claudine would Jack
him up and tell him to pull out his
Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1915-02-12

Elan was the Main Whizzer in a
huddle of Queen Annes, bounded on
the North by cleaning Cemetery, on
the East by limping Subdivision,
on the South by a deserted Creamery,
and on the West by an expanse of
Stubble.
Claudine was the other two-thirds of
the Speciality.
She was a snappy little Trick, and
it was dull hour of the Day or Night
when she couldn't frame up new
General Order for the Breadwinner.
The Marriage came off during the
third summer of her twenty-seventh
year.
She accepted ELAN about week
before he proposed to her, thus SIM
plifying the Ordeal.
While the Wafer on the License was
still warm, she put on her spangled
Suit, moved to the center of the Ring,
and cracked the Whip.
After that Elan continued to be a
Hellion around the Office, but in his
private Quarters he was merely Otto,
the Trained Seal.
Claudine could make him bark, play
the Cymbals, or go back to the Blue
Bench.
There is one Elan in every Settle.
ment.
All the wise Paper Hangers and the
fly Guitar Players had him marked up
as Noodle, but somehow, every time
the winning Numbers were hung out,
he would be found in Line, waiting to
cash.
He was not Bright enough to do any
thing except garner the Gold Certifi-
Gates.
Elan had no Ear for Music, and,
coming out of the Opera House, never
could remember the name of the Play
or which one Of the Burglars was the
real Hero.
His Reading was confined to the
Headlines Of a conservative Paper
which was still printing War News.
Baseball had not come into his Life
whatsoever
A cultured Steno, who knew about
George Meredith and Arnold Bennett,
had to do his Spelling for him at IA
Bucks per.
The Cerebellum of Elan was prob
ably about the dimensions of a
Malaga Grape.
Sizing him by his Looks, one would
have opined that Nature meant him
for a Ticket-taker in a suburban
Cinema Palace.
Nevertheless, he had his Opinions.
He believed that Congress should al.
ways adjourn Immediately after con-
vening, and not tamper with Business.
He felt confident that Our Country
might develop a Future If the Labor
Unions could be suppressed.
Elan was a mental Gnat and a
Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1915-02-12

Gravy came under the head of Regu-
lar Food.
She could turn out Waffles as long
as there was a Customer in sight. The
Biscuits on which she specialized were
light las Down.
The things she fixed to Eat were
Fine and Dandy, but she never had
heard of a Cuisine. When you took
her away from regular Chow and
made her tackle something Casserole
or En- Tasse, she blew.

have belonged to the Stevedores'

Napkin, three Spoons, four Knives,
five Forks, and all the long-stemmed
Glasses, to say nothing of an artful
pyramiding Of Cut Flowers around the
Candelabra. then she was simply a fe-
male Blacksmith.
Claudine would throw a Dinner
once in while, just to subdue the
Wife and Daughter Of the National
Bank, but the Crew would nearly al
ways crab the Entertainment.
With the Support accorded by the
bone-headed Staff, she had fat

MERRY CHRISTMAS !


With evidences on every hand it
would seem as tho every day, now,
were Xmas Day, and perhaps it would
be fine thing if we would consider
it so. Surely there has been a great
change since the older people were
children, and it looks now as tho
the Xmas spirit might reach to the
Easter-joy, thence to the summer
outings, and even to Thanksgiving
time and life be a round Of enjoy
ment. "But we must work, most of
the time" Sure When do we ever
work harder than just before and dur
ing the holidays And we enjoy it
too, or should. If we do not, then
we should learn how to combine play
and work, so as to make all delight
full pastime. Then we shall have
learned how to make the children and
young people happy. They will love
home and never wish to wander from
it.
But Xmas is only three days away
now, and while we are speaking, the
clock has licked off one minute, and
more. what we do we must do
quickly"
This is, of all others, the children'S
holiday. They will be satisfied with
simple gifts, if they do not see others
getting a great variety Too bad
People have begun the practice of
giving so many things at Xmas; some
little toy they can play with at once,
bag of nuts and candy, of course
ought to be satisfying to most any
child. If you are intending to give
your little girl very large fine doll,
do not take it to the church tree,
and make the little girl unhappy,
who was satisfied that her old dolly
had new dress.
One mother says her little girls are
happy making paper chains and string
ing pop corn for their tree.
We know some older children who
long for little money to spend just
at this time. Wonder if we can't
think of way to help them earn it I?
We know of mother who lies awake
nights planning to buy warm cloth
ing for her children's Christmas. She
can bake such nice cookies, and fruit
cake, or she could come on Christmas
morning and take charge of the din
ner getting. Wouldn't it seem good
once to have just little time to en-
joy your company, and know that all
is going right in the kitchen? Any
way, let's all take note this time of
the things we want to do next time
to make the day happier and better
for all Don't forget the dog and cat.
No harm to feed the little sparrows
either. 80
A few years ago l read an article by
Ella W. Wilcox, and I've admired her
ever since. 1t was a letter to young
men, and, the closing sentence was
something like this: "You can do
something each day to make the
world little happier, and better, if

HERE'S NATURES OWN
REMEDY FOR CATARRH
Hyomei Believes Catarrh Without the
Use of Dangerous Drugs.

Not until Hyomei was discovered
has it been possible to truthfully say
that a real remedy for catarrh was
known.
Hyomei is an oil and its air is
breathed through a small inhaler
furnished With it for few minutes
four times a day, and during that
time every particle of this Hyomei
laden air taken into the air passages
and lungs is impregnated with a
powerful germ killing and health-giv-
ing antiseptic.
Sprays and lotions often cause dis
orders Of the respiratory tracts or
bring on some other diseases and
never make a permanent cure of
catarrh. But when the air Of HyOmei
penetrates to the inmOst air cells of
the lungs and enters the blood with
the oxygen it not only kills the germs
in the throat and nose, but kills the
bacilli in the blood, freeing the
mucous membranes from poisonous
microbes and giving perfect health.
A complete outfit is inexpensive
and includes an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
W. w. Albers, has so much faith of
Hyomei that he agrees to return the
money to any purchaser who is not
thoroughly satisfied.

DEPOSIT
Of Straw And Oats Is Found
Above Ceiling

When workmen commenced to tear
off the old wooden ceiling at the City
Cigar store Monday morning prepara-
tory to placing a new steel ceiling
they discovered a queer deposit be-
tween the wooden ceiling and the
floor of the second story. When one
board was pulled off out fell a large
quantity of small pieces of straw.
When several boards were torn loose
the deposit of straw was of sufficient
size to fill several bushel baskets.
When other boards were removed out
fell large deposit of oats, enough to
fill another bushel basket. Some of
the older residents of the city ad-
vance the theory that the straw and
oats had been deposited there over
25 years ago by rats At one time the
late John Stevens conducted a feed
store in the room now occupied by
the Grand Theatre and it is the suppo-
sition that rats carried the small
pieces of straw and the grain from the
store and deposited it between the
ceiling and the floor above.
