THE LAST LEAF

George B. "Starkey" Teeples, of
Bridger, was an interesting visitor at
the office, Monday. Mr.. Teeples has
the distinction Of being the first white
child born in the state of Wyoming
and also of being relative OF the ia
nous Jim Bridger. He is one of the
pioneers of this section of Montana
and can speak knowingly of early days
in the west. For some time he was
Connected with the Pony Express
which preceded the building of rail
roads across the plains, and was per
sonally acquainted with Alt Slade, who
was superintendent of that institu-
ton, with headquarters at Julesberg,
Colorado. Mr.. Teepies also has the
distinction, not only of having been
born in Jim Bridger's house, but he
is also the first man and only man who
ever rode the famous Belgrade Bull.
At theage Of IS he is vigorous, well
preserved and alert meutally. -"
He gave short detailed account OF
the overland stage, which was oper-
ated from st. Joe, Missouri, to Salt
Lake City. He stated that it was
started by man by the name OF Ben
Holiday. The Wells-Fargo ran 1t
from Salt Lake to California. The
schedule time. was six miles an hour
including all stops. The road from
Salt Lake to Montana belonged to a
firm known as Gilmore and Salisbury
and Mr.. Teeples travelled over that
line on a pass, presented him by Mr..
Gilmore in 1865. The East and West
stages were drawn by six horses,
while those on the North and South
line used only four.
At the home station both drivers
changed the baggage while the pass
engers were eating. They drove night
and day. At the swing station it took
about three minutes to change horses
The horses were already harnessed and
out on the floor when the stage drove
up. The horses were cleaned like rae
ing stock and the harness was cleaned
every day. The horses used were
small, weighing from 900 to 1,2O(
pounds.
Hay and grain was very high as
there was no grain raised at this time

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK
By Edison R. Waite, Shawnee Oklahoma


G. G. Howard, publisher of the Monrova (Cali-
fornia) Daily News, says:
THAT the man who is too modest to cry his
wares to the public usually finds sheriff who is not
too modest to do so.
THAT the man who does not see any good in
advertising probably does not see any good in his
stock sa
THAT the crowd follows the megaphone and
the with the big voice at least secures attention
and an opportunity to sell his wares The crowd likes
to be invited into your store and likes to hear you
tell of the merit of your merchandise
THAT the general public believes what it reads
until it has learned to discredit the author and the
way to keep that credit is to tell the truth and tell
it often
THAT drops Of advertising ink will wear away
the stonest opposition to Indifference.
THAT nobody ever learned the multiplication
table by reading it once, and no one viii remember
the many good things you have to say about your
goods if you say it but once. #a'sf = +7s.f@a :
THAT no store is big enough to neglect the
public and if it does it will not be long until the
public will neglect the store. s... s-- -+
THAT constant repetition carries conviction.
THAT statesman would not make progress if
he satisfied to state his position in cam
pagn.
THAT minister would not build up church
by one sermon in a year.
THAT merchant will not be long remembered
who satisfied himself with an announcement of his
opening and then quits.
THAT the soul of success is repetition in adj
vertising.
THAT commercial prominence cannot be main
tanned or sustained without carrying the message Of
your service to the public
ADVERTISING pays big dividends No adver-
tising leads to bankruptcy.

BULLETIN No. 14-WARNINGS
TO THE PEDESTRIAN
By Chief Of Police Michael Hughes

From July 9 to July IS. Il persons
were killed and 27S were injured in
Chicago through motor vehicle acct
dents. OF this number eight killed
and 12o injured were pedestrians.
These figures show a wanton care
Iessness on the part Of pedestrians for
their own safety,
The enormous amount Of traffic on
the streets should be warning to the
foot traveller to always be on his guard.
When alighting from a street car,
satisfy yourself that oncoming traffic
is going to stop, Always pause and
look both ways before crossing the
street or boulevard Hundreds Of &C
cidents could be avoided if pedestrians
would substitute caution for reckless
ness.
Never pass behind vehicle without
clear view Of traffic approaching
from the opposite direction. Always
cross the street at the nearest corner.
The middle Of the block is always an
invitation for an accident
Traffic signals must be obeyed by
the pedestrian. If there are no signals
use common sense. Never figure that
the driver Of vehicle is going to stop
to let you pass. Be sure Of it, or wait
until he passes.
By your watchfulness for your own
safety, help the police department to
cut down the appalling number of
deaths and injuries by motor vehicles.

SUES HARLEM JIM CROW
CABARET

New York.-Harlem and amuse-
ment circles here are aroused over the
report that Mrs. Geraldine DESMOND,
wife OF a prominent local physician,
will institute suit against the Cotton
Club for alleged color discrimination
last week against her and James g,
Cotter, assistant district U. 5. At
torney
The two went TO the club on the
night OF July ; in company with a
Jewish couple 1t is said that the
management gave police orders against
mixed couples as the reason debarring
Mrs. DESMOND and Cotter.
The Cotton Club, though in the
heart OF Harlem, at land and Lenox
avenue, has never catered to colored
people. 1t has employed race bands
and revues during the five years Of its
operation.

BETTER NOT SAY 1T

Bad news travels faster than good news. There is an old
saying, mo news is good news" Let a man be converted at a
church service and there is not much of a stir, but let a resident
be convicted of crime and the news leaps by word of mouth from
one end of the community to the other.
However thoughtessly unkind we sometimes are when
acquaintance of ours suffer misfortunes! Troubles are bound
to come to us all in some shape or form, and what we say about
others today may apply to us tomorrow. News is no respecter
of persons.
We are prone to consider the ways of others not our ways
when we should be watching our own step. What folks say of
one another sometimes hurts more than anything they could
have done. News, either good or bad, grows and becomes ex-
aggerated and distorted with ~peddling. When the news is good
it makes no material difference how it is exaggerated or dis
torted-it can never do anyone positive harm. But bad news
given wings, may bring sorrow and ruin upon people who GER
tainly are not deserving of a punishment beyond the penalty of
their mistake.
More charity for others will mean charity for ourselves and
we will gradually come to take a keener delight in reporting
something good of some person than something bad. Good is
constructive, bad is destructive. Just before you are about to
let out a bit of dad news" stop and think a moment. See if
you can't think of something good to say in place of it. The
chances are ten to one that you can and that you will.

WHAT MAKES PROSPERITY

Prosperity means good business, and good business means
active buying. Buying moves in a circle.
There are four factors in the circle of buying-the manu-
facturer, the jobber, the retailer is in a separate class from the
buyer only so far as his business is concerned. In every other
relation in life he is one small Individual in the great mass called
the public, and he is affected by the same living conditions that
affect the latter. Outside his own business he, too, is a buyer,
SO he joins with the public in starting the buying impulse that
sweeps around the circle. He buys the comforts and neces-
sites of life, and he wants reasonable prices the same as the
public does.
Not all Cody merchants are using the local paper to unload
their shelves. But it can be depended upon that the ones who,
are, are the ones who are anxious to join hands with the public
IN bringing about prosperity and keeping the community pros
porous.
