what is sometimes termed tie wild
and woody West. We therefore look
ed somewhat askance at these boys
upon their arrival, but concluded we
would give them try-out, and the
for hospitality, began inviting them
into their homes, particularly on Sun
days. Everywhere there were express
sions of pleasant establishment and
qualification at the splendid charac-
ter and gentlemanly department of
the young men, until finally the whole
city capitulated and there is now
nothing but words of praise on every
tongue in regard to these soldiers.
"On last Saturday evening am
sure there were approximately 10000
in our town, and although the streets,
restaurants, and stores were thronged,
there was not the slightest act of dis
order, nor even any loud talking or
boistrous conduct. In fact, it may
seem a rather exaggerated statement
that during the four weeks that we
had these young fellows with us there
has not been a single act Of disorder
on their part while within our city.
Speaking to one of these young
men in praise Of their conduct, the
fine young fellow replied: We'll, sir,
you people here in Charlotte have
treated us as though you took us for
gentlemen, and that has put us on our
mettle.'
81 may say for our city that we are
bestirring ourselves in our efforts to
make the life of your boys as enjoy
able as possible. We have a splendid
Young Mems Christian Association in
the city, with shower baths and swim
ming pool, and on last Saturday one
thousand boys from the camp availed
themselves Of the bath privileges,
each bath costing only five cents, to
pay for soap and use of towels. The
Young Women's Christian Association
has also thrown open its doors, and
the young men have access there, I'M
der proper restrictions and regula-
tions. Each of the leading churches
of the city has a writing and rest
room for the soldier boys, where writ
ing material and reading matter are
available to them at all times of the
day and in the evenings. The public
libraries are also available for reading
matter.
~ have met very few officers in the
camp, because the citizens generally,
including myself, have somehow felt
that it was worth our while to show
most of our attentions to the non
commissioned officers and privates,
whose opportunities for social inter-
course and for pleasurable enjoyment
were somewhat limited.
"Another thing that has surprised
us is the very large number Of young
men who attended our Churches. At
each of our leading churches fifty per
cent or more Of our congregations are
now made up by the soldier boys. We
had an impression that the people out
West were rather scanty in their at
tendance upon church service, but this
is not true of the boys who are here.
IF either you or any Of your par
ishioners have any relatives and spec
ial friends in the camp to whom it is
desired that any attention shall be
shown, I will be pleased to receive
their names and meet thm."

BOWMAN POSTMISTRESS
LOSES GOVERNMENT JOB

Bowman, N. d., Dec. 31.-President
Wilson has declared the Bowman post
mastership, recently held by Mrs. Lii
liam Totten, wife of County Judge ..
B. Totten, vacant! The post pays ST.
900 per year and candidates for the
job will be examined at Lennon, S.
D., January. 9, 1918. Under the new
civil service regulations, the successful
candidate may hold the position for
life, unless removed for cause.
Lillian Totten leaped into the lime
light last summer when, while all
Bowman was boiling with indignation
over the address delivered by Mrs.
Kate Richards O'Hare at the Cosy
theater, q Mrs. Totten called on the wo
man at1her hotel and, according to the
latter'si statement to the Courier
News, stated that her husband, Judge
Totten, was much interested in the
reforms" which Mrs. O'Hare advo-
Gated and invited her to spend the eve
ming with the Tottens. Mrs. O'Hare
stated that she did spend a very pleas
ant evening there finding the Judge
quite in accord with many Of her
views. EIlD rBgY Ps4
The Tottens had attended the lee
ture the evening before and had ap-
plauded Mrs. O'Hare. Both the judge
and the postmistress testified during
the trial that she said nothing in her
lecture which did not merit their APP
proval. Immediately after the recep-
ton at the, Totten home for Mrs.
O'Hare, charges We're filed with Sen
ator Porter !, McCumber, and he de-
manded IN the United States senate
that the woman be removed from the
federal office she was occupying.

GOOD NEWS FOR
DAKOTA PARENTS

Northwestern Christian Advocate:
The Rev. James Anderson, superin-
tendent of the Fargo On. d. District,
recently received letter from Mr..
Charles W. Tillett, prominent law
yer in Charlotte, N. c., inspired by
personal contact with the son of Mr..
Anderson, Cuyler, who is member
of Camp Greene. The contents will
be of interest to North Dakota par
ents, since many of the boys of that
state are there for the present.
Among other things he says:
4 feel it not only a great pleasure,
but an absolute duty to make known
in some way to you, and through you
to the people of your section, the very
high esteem in which we have learned
to hold the soldiers who have come
from your section to Camp Greene in
the suburbs Of our city.
II had the pleasure week ago Of
meeting your son, Mr.. Cuyler Ander-
son. Learning that he was the son of
Methodist preacher, and being my
self also the son of Methodist
preacher, was first drawn to him by
this bond, but later more particularly

NO PLACE FOR THE KAISER

Big sparks flew from old Satan's
eyes. "What's this l hear!" said he.
"They say that when the kaiser dies
he'll be consigned to me! Old He'll to
me is mighty dear, the place is very
fine, but if they send that guy down
here, believe me, I'll resign! I'll stand
for murderers and crooks, and l will
not disown that l have now here on
my books the worst thugs ever known.
But my boys would get sore, I fear; I
kno wthey would rebel. The kaiser
cannot enter here, for he would cor
rupt hell. Our sulphur is too clean for
him, our birthstone lakes too pure; and
if in one he took a swim, he'd ruin it
! am sure. Our company is not so
swell, vile beasts we won't reject; but
keep the kaiser out of hell, we have
some self-respect."--An Ohio Paper.
