LO, THE POOR INDIAN

The Salchaket Indians were out in
 force at the movies last week and if they didn't enjoy the films, those in their vicinity had some amusement
 The advertisements were being run off when the tourists arrived and the theatre was in darkness, at least on one entering. They came down the aisle single file and one of the buxom maidens flopped herself down in a chair, but unfortunately it was only built for one and the man in it yelled so did the maid and she departed forthwith down the aisle. An empty row of seats was found and they all filed in. Now the seats were turned up and not being familiar with Dick S methods, they sat upon the edges, towering above everyone and balanc- ing themselves till one of them lean- ed forward and the seat fell down with bang, then they all solemnly sat down. What their ideas of the performance was, will never be known, for they sat silently thru it all and then filed up Second street.

CAUSE AND EFFECT


 The weather last Memorial Day was grand. Only few people are aware that a destructive storm visit ed our peaceful city that day. Just before noon young cyclone, in the shape of whirlwind suddenly sprang up, apparently originating in the middle of Second avenue, near the Pi- rates store. During it's few minutes of life it picked up about everything in it's short route. Several pieces of tin roofing were lying scattered near the sidewalk, one piece being bent over, which the miniature storm picked up, carrying it, spinning, and dashing it with loud crash thru a thirty-dOllar window in an empty store, few doors above the Pirates, then dying as suddenly as it sprang into existence. One of the few who witnessed the passing show, turned away, evidently in great disgust, "Huh!" said he, "they had no busi- ness leaving that tin lying around!"

| young girl of IS asks me how
she can tell whether young man
is In love with her or not.
For the most part woman has
to take a mans word for 1t that he
is in love with her. but she can back
up his vows by few facts. 40 7
would advise the girl who is trying
to determine whether a man Is in
love with her or not to pay particu-
lar attention TO the following points:
First. take note OF his attitude to-
ward you in his absences. Put no
stress on a mans coming to see you
| f1ve or six times a week when he is
near you. 1t may mean anything
or nothing. bus when he is away
from you 1t is different story.
Then if ne writes to you: II he
sends you telegrams%>if he remem-
bers the little things that you like
and are interested in, it Is because
he really cares for you and carries
your image with him in his thoughts
all the time.
II you ever have to remind a man
of your existence you NAV be yer;
sure that your existence is Of no i'm
portance to him. no matter what he
says to the contrary.
Secondly. observe the mans man.
ner to You when you are with him,
and see whether II Is tender and af-
fectionate or cold and callous. This
does not refer to kisses and holding
hands. and all that sort, Of confec-
tionery stuff. That doesn't amount
to 9 row of pins. Every man will
kiss a pretty girl and hold a nice
sdueezable hand n he can.
But note IL the man thinks of your
pleasure before his own: whether he
Is willing to sacrifice himself to you
or not: whether he tries to protect
you from every hardship that he can:
whether he really admires you or
thinks you a slave to wait on him or
doll to play with.
II man assumes the attitude Of
an oracle and laws down the law to
you on every article under the sun.
you. may be sure that man is not
really in love with you. The only
deathless passon he will ever ex-
perience will be for himself.
On the other hand. the man who
finds his chief happiness in making
YOU happy: who is willing to even
20 shopping with YOU to be with
you; who grows white with sympa-
thy when you look tired and tagged
diNcT u ndFu udy y WORK, and who
always bobs up, with an umbrella
when you get caught In the rain,
gives unmistakable indications of the
love that can be relied on.
One of the first honest-to- goodness
signs Of true love that a man gives
Is when he begins to urge roast beef
and potatoes on a girl. and tell her
how much nicer her feet look in
thick-soled boots with fiat heels, and
to expatiate on the virtues Of thick
clothing In winter. When q man does
that it's as good az popping the
question. because its a never-failing
indication that he has his eye on
matrimony.
A final indication of whether a man
Is in love or not is the way In which
he treats a girls family. As long
as he casts baleful glances at little
sister and brother. and yawns in the
midst Of fathers TRADE aboutshow
he thinks President Wilson should
conduct the war. there's nothing do
ing; but when he begins to cherish

There Is a sign read as pointing
to movements of troops and even
loss of life. This may be overseas,
but the seers forecast civil troubles
that arouse anxiety.
Food will come much to the fore
again as a national problem. IL is

arts. although they arc assuming
