Chick Springs has been known since the days when the Indians were ' masters of this country. The white ye settlers learned of it through the Indians, who were wont to encamp , about the watering place, and probably the Indians learned of it from the animals, for formerly it was a n. famous nlace for deer and other ! ie i *" " ,, game. The spring was once known | | as Lick Spring. Later it was called | Healing Spring by the earlier seti tiers, and finally was named Chick ve i Springs after the property was purchased by a Dr. Chick, who built ^ the first hotel there in 184 6. The new , hotel will stand on the site of the 0U original hotel. he Working With All Expedition. . Work is now being pushed on the jjy new hotel and on the grounds with t all reasonable expedition. The contractors, Jamison & Morris, of Greenite v*^e' ^ave agreed to have the new ey plant ready for use by the early part let of June- _ 961 Missing in Three Months. on >m New York, Feb. 7.?No fewer than 961 residents of New York City were reported to the police as missrill ing during the last three months of 00 1913. The quarterly report sent to ow the mayor yesterday by Police Com;ed missioner McKay stated that fact, mt Of the total number 397 were woal men. ss. The report was chiefly remarkable 3d- i for the number of missing persons os, reported, the total, it was said, be- J in- ing much higher than usual. In ad-1 j dition to the New Yorkers who had j on vanished other cities asked the local I ig- police to look for 42G men. who it I ng was supposed had come to this city, j ro- Of the total number of missing the ! Lke police found only 194. ' ' , '>/ / ' . "f " Wages and Living Cost. 1 It was only a little while ago that our sociologists got together and af- | ter a long investigation decided that i $8 was a living wage for a girl work- \ ing in the city. Yet the other day i a Chicago factory girl committed; suicide on the ground that the 58 ! she got was too little to make life worth living. This illustrates how unsatisfactory it is to lay down what shall constitute a "living wage," says The Pathfinder. A person can always live up to his earnings, no matter what they are, if he adopts that course, and usually he considers those earnings too small, whatever they are. But. on the other hand, he can generally live within his income and even save a little if he wants to?or he can find a remedy. The remedy for a girl in a factory who can't make a living is to go to work in some good home, where she will have a good living assured to her and a surplus besides. There are thousands of such homes always open, but the trouble is that most girls prefer to work in factories, etc., although in such places they are ex posed to hardships and buffets which they would be free from in the shelter of a home. The evils that exist for girls in the industrial world are largely the result of false pride, and the mistaken idea that the chief end of woman is to spend all her money on finery. If you will listen to the conversation of two girls in a store or factory you will find that it is seldom on the subject of securing a good living at the minimum cost but is usually about dress. And as a girl can spend an unlimited amount on dress she is not much better off on $18 a week than on $8. President Garfield when at college boarded Ifimself on 50 cents a week, and he didn't have to commit suicide because life was not worth living. Our view of life will depend much more on our attitude of mind than on how much money we have to spend, and this wholesome doctrine should be instilled into all those who have not learned it. Fire in Denmark Store. Denmark, Feb. 7.?About 11 u i'iui;i\ ia.su iiigiiu pcisuus iu uic uaiber shop opposite C. C. Ellzey's store noticed a light in the store, which, on account of the late hour, attracted their attention. The alarm was raised and the fire quickly extinguished. It was the work of robbers, who had entered through the back door without making any breach in the building and who evidently understood the fastening of the door. After taking two suits of clothing and one ovdrcoat they went, out, carefully closing the door, and fired the building on the floor through a cat hole, using kerosene oil and paper. Tracks were discovered indicating that there were two of the robbers and that they left running. j Maybe It Was. Lopuis E. Van Norman associate ! editor of the Review of Reviews, re- 1 centlv returned from a vacation in the Glacier National park. While there he discovered an old timer who was particularly bitter toward the Piegan Indians. "I like the Sioux, and the Apaches and the Crows," said this old fellow, beating violently on the table. "Them Indians are "Wfbort u*on + on tho 5 CIl HCiliCU. TT WllVJ T?W**V v/u u.v warpath they always took their blankets off, and all you had to do was to run and hide. But the Piegans! Mister, there ain't nothing as mean as a Piegan." Next day Mr. Van Norman asked Bill Burns, a veteran Glacier park guide, why the old man hated Piegans so. "Well,'' said Mr. Burns reflectively. "the old cuss married a Piegan squaw. Mebbe it's race prejudice." In reply to a rumor circulated that cock-fighting had been arranged for Greenville county, Sheriff Rector offered $100 to any one who would tip him off to anything of the kind. The big main changed its plans and they say has gone over into Pickens. I 1 - ' %& %?
