_e 1 Sketcli of Springs.
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

original hotel.

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.

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

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.
