In Wind Cave National park, south
of Custer, S. D., is a cavern serving a
unique purpose. Some 200 feet under
ground, the cavern Is called the post
Office
Here tourists and sightseers leave
mementos, usually their names and
addresses scrubbed on the back of an
envelope or some other piece Of paper,
and stuffed into one of hundreds Of
box-like formations on the rock walls
These natural crystalline formations
suggest the idea Of the post Office.
A perusal of the mail" reveals some
interesting things. One finds names
and addresses from every state in the
Union and from foreign countries. It
Is permissible to take these, and many
a miss or youth has visiOned his or
her future love as half dozen or
more names were selected.

On a shore-bound train recently the
Stroller sat behind fussy old lady.
The seat in front of the woman was
occupied by a gentleman who had his
window open. .ii'ti. ia'H
II wish that man would shut his
window, my hair is blowing around

Much Bacon on This Hog

The fossil skeleton of giant hog
which stood seven feet tall Is mounted
In Morrell hall at the University Of
Nebraska. The terrible pig in his pre-
historic day was as high as the taIlest
modern motor car and had a wheel
base of about 40 inches.
The fossil was dug up in Sioux coun-
ty. Nebraska. Only two of the giants
have ever been discovered, the other
being smaller than the university's
specimen. The pig, scientifically
termed Dlnohyus hollandi, lived dAr-
ing the late Oligocene or the early
Miocene age, which would give him an
antiquity of some 100000 years.

Deadliest of Poisons
IL Unguarded Tongue

An unmerciful tongue may be more
cruel than the most terrible instru-
ment Of torture ever forged. It can
stab more keenly than dagger, and
cut more deeply than a sword. That
quick tongue; that fiery, temper-driven
tongue; that insidious, insinuating
tongue; that soft, Shiny, slandering
tongue; that sharp, sarcastic tongue;
these, an inspired writer has said, are
set on fire Of HE'LL It is dangerous to
handle such cruel weapons heedlessly.
With one Of them you may so rend
your mothers bosom that she will
wish she had never been born; you
may so pierce your fathers heart as
to bring down his gray hairs in sorrow
to the grave; you may cut the nearest,
dearest ties and leave the heartstrlngs
bleeding. Family Herald.

Butterfly Funny Heart

The heart of butterfly according
to an eminent professor of entomology,
quite often beats backwards. The
heart of an insect is in its back in
stead Of its chest, and consists merely
Of an enlargement in long blood yes
sci. A beat will start at its rear end
and travel forward, squeezing the
blood on ahead of It. After repeat.
ing this several times, the heart will
pause, and then beat will start at
the forward end, sending the blood in
the opposite direction. Occasionally
the beat will start In the middle, send
ing the blood both ways.

What do you think of the Christmas
Seal?
"What do you think?" said l.
at maketh the Christmas spirit real:
IT'S greater t IN gifts you buy.
For it proveth better than jewels can
That your heart hath room for your
fellow-man.
"Who giveth gift to his friend has
done
No more than a gracious deed.
But the seal proclaimeth the man as
one .....
Who giveth to those In need.
For God, who marketh the sparrow's
fall,
Giveth not to His friends, but to one
and all.
80 look at the Christmas Seal and
say:
This friend who remembereth me,
Hath also thought of the sick today,
Wherever they chance to be.
And he giveth not only to cheer his
own,
But to all who hath need is his mercy
shown"

Unearth Aneien, Whal.

The enormous skeleton of a 5000
year-old Greenland whale was found
at Kistinge, near Halmstad, Sweden,
by workmen digging ditch near the
seashore. A mOnstrous jawbone meas
uring about thirteen feet In length
was unearthed. On account of its size
1t was first taken by the workmen to
be part of the hull Of an ancient
vessel. The bone has been examined
by psychologists, who estimate the
whale to have lived at the end of the
Ice age, about five thousand years ago.

done by Hindu babu who tried his

Opal Superstition

The opal has not always been re-
garded as an unlucky stone. The
superstition regarding its bad luck be-
gan in the Fourteenth century at the
time of the Black death, particularly
in Venice. At that time the opal was
favolite of the Italian jewelers., but
1t was said that opals worn by those
stricken with the disease became sud-
denly brilliant and that their mster
departed upon the death of the owner.
Thus the opal became associated with
death md IN object of dread.

Cleaning Plaster Statues

When plaster statues have become
dingy and dusty first give a thorough
brushing and busting. Take a good
quality of white or cream colored
paint and make it thin with turpen-
tine. Apply this to the statue with
great care so that no paint settles in
the crevlces to impair the modelling.
The statue can then be kept clean by
wiping carefully with a wet cloth.
Many statues in the Corcoran Art gal
lery, Washington, are treated in this
way. .... ....

Groth'S complete knowledge Of basketball was we'll demonstrat- ed to the followers of the game in Seward last season to visiting ag- gregations, and it is not guessing to state that if he undertakes to or ganize a quintette of Seward play CTS, the city may finally be able to boast of a strong five that will be mighty difficult to down.
 The men who have already an nounced their intention to try for regular positions include William Griffin, David Turner, Clarke An dresen, Wendell Vaa, Ebert Kunz, William Noble and Tom Earl It is suspected that several others would have appeared at the meeting last evening, had more than two hours notice of the meeting been given.
 Bill Griffin is the shifty operator whom hte fans will remember on account of his clever floor work of last season. his first year in Seward. Noble, who has adopted Seward as his permanent home, while not seen in any public games here, is said to be a center par excellence. Turner, Vaa and Earl, who are new corners, are experienced players and should round out the team. The basketball loving public of Seward needs no introduction to Andresen and Kunz. the dashing pair of forwards who have furnish ed the spectators many thrills in previous seasons.
 The team is called for practice in the s. A. Q. gym at 3 30 P. m. on Wednesday and Saturday of this week. All other players interested in the game are urged to partici- pate.
