DEMOCRATIC DOLLARS
The joke has been on Dr. Henry and
Harry Borland all week, but now it's
on us. Dr. Henry met us Saturday
night, bought the drinks coca-colas,
we mean and gave us a democratic
dollar. When we went to write about
this the next evening, we had a kink
in the mind, and instead of Dr. Henry
we wrote Harry Borland. Can't ex
plain why we are not absent-minded,
but all people have streaks like that
it's what makes a man occasionally
stick a match in his mouth and throw
away his cigaret. A friend of ours
had such an attack once when he was
running a buzz saw. He moved one
hand one way and looked another, and
when he looked back he misssed his
hand, which the saw had removed as
neatly as Dr. Henry could, and much
more quickly, which was going some,
for Doc. can cut off a leg in almost
the same time we can pull one. We
noticed both Doc. and Harry looked at
us rather queerly the past four days,
but we thought we had that coming
to us anyway. Not for a minute did
we forget that Doc. had paid the dol
lar, and the presence of Harry's name
on the list didn't jolt our memory,
for Harry always gives us a dollar
when we go out collecting, and it is
as natural to see his name on a sub
scription list as to see the clock on
the courthouse. Last night we receiv
ed a letter, which said, "Dear Ben:
You are all right here it is. H. L.
Borland." The letter enclosed a dol
lar bill.
We called Harry up and asked him
what the bone was for, and when he
said it was for the democratic slush
fund we told him he had already con
tributed. He vowed he hadn't, and
then we looked over the file and a
great light dawned on us.
Well, it is all right now Doc. is
vindicated, Harry is explained and we
have the dollar. What those two
have been thinking all week was:
Doc. thought we had gone crazy at
last, and was looking for a chance to
haul us up before a lunacy commis
sion. Harry thought the story about
him was a delicate hint for him to
contribute, and like a sure enough
sport he made good. He was going
to anyhow.
Friends, the trouble is, there are not
as many Docs and Harrys in the
world as there should be. The cam
paign will close. Monday. We will
make final report Monday evening. If
any of you hand us a dollar or more
in that time, if we don't report you
right we will send your dollar to the
committee and give you one of our
own. The fund is now $48, of which
$40 has gone forward. There are not
a few democrats who will read the
Star this evening who really owe the
party a dollar apiece. They could run
the fund up to $100 and never miss
the money. And if Marion county
sends a hundred dollars to the cam
paign fund she will be above the av
erage, for hundreds of counties have
contributed less or nothing. We like
for old Marion to be above the aver
age in every good thing. Don't you?
Democracy in the northern states is
a brand of politics. In Florida, it is

or woman who won't give something
in return.

at several points.
German cruiser Konigsberg sunk

different to them?
SHORT TALKS ON
RETAIL SELLING
Edited by Ralph L. Wood, Princi
pal, School of Salesmanship, Interna
tional Correspondence Schools, Scran
ton, Pa.
One of the strongest paradoxes in
modern business practice is that most
merchants cheerfully spend thousands
of dollars every year in advertising
to get the people into their stores
and then spend practically nothing to
make sure that they are well served.
The more progressive stores now
adays realize the importance of de
tailed training for their sales force
and have established various systems
of instruction. Formerly new em
ployes were taken in, taught a few
elementary facts about the goods
they handled, and then expected to
learn the details of their duties by
observing the older members of the
force. In other words, they learned
by the slow, painful process of ex
perience. Where advanced ideas pre
vail employes are systematically
schooled in their duties before they
begin work. They are instructed in
the qualities of the goods they are to
sell, in the policy of the store, in gen
eral salesmanship principles, and in
many other ways. The result is that
the new employe in such a store be
gins work as an asset instead ox a
liability to the employer.
A truly progressive store not only
trains its workers but also offers to
them possibilities of definite rewards
for better work. The sales people are
willing to learn to do their work bet
ter because they realize that they
will thus be able to increase material-
y their income. The employer, on
the other hand, is just as willing to
train his workers, because he real
izes that by doing so he will reduce
his labor turn-over by making his
workers more satisfied and more like
ly to stay with him, and will increase
also the volume of his business, be
cause everyone on his sales force is
constantly striving to do better work
THE BELLS
Innumerable and Interesting are the
traditions surrounding bells.
Bells have ever played an Important
part in religious ceremonies.
There are numerous legends that
consecrated bells would. If stolen, re
turn to their own home, ringing all
the way.
St. Paullnus of Nola and Pope
Sablan In the Seventh century are
each credited with the Introduction of
bells at mass.
The Angelus bell, always rung
thrice a day, takes Its name from the
first words of the prayer. The De
Profundls bell sounds one hour after
the Ave.
It was only a comparatively recent
date that bells were used for calling
people to church. For ages they were
designed solely for keeping evil spirits
at a safe distance.
In the books of Exodus and Ecclesl
astes the ornaments of the high
priest's ephod Include bells, so that
"their sound might be heard whenever
he goeth in or cometh out of the sanc
tuary."
In many English parishes the shriv
ing bell used to be rung the morning
of Shrove Tuesday to remind the
faithful to confess before Lent. This
has now changed its name to "Pan
cake bell."
As nearly as may be determined the
object of the curfew, or couvrefeu
(cover fire), rung in olden times as
signal for the extinguishing of al'
fires, was exclusively political or so
cial, and not religious.

STORIES OF
QREAT INDIANS
By Elmo Scott IDc&son
Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union
CHIEF'S NAME WAS OLD-MAN-AFRAID-OF-HIS-HORSES
D
URING the Sioux war of 1866-61
the head chief of the Ogallalaj
was a man known to his people ai
Tashunka Kokipapi. Once a careless
Interpreter translated this name Into
English as Old-Man-Afraid-of-Hls-Horses,
and this title, with its impli
cation of cowardice, stuck with him
through history.
Accustomed as the white man wai
to curious Indian names, this one waj
particularly interesting and many at
tempts were made to explain it Th
literal interpretation that he feared
his own horses was scarcely compli
mentary to a war chief of the Ogallala
Sioux. Then there was a story that
he owned a great many horses which
he was constantly afraid of losing
and that once when the Shoshones at
tacked his camp he left his family in
the hands of the enemy to run off hli
horses.
More creditable was the interpreta
tion of his being such a great chief
tain that even the sight of his horsei
inspired fear in the hearts of his ene
mies. The true Interpretation of his
name, as given by his son, Young-Man-Afraid-of-HIs-Horses,
was "He Whos
Horse They Fear" (literally: Ta
"his"; shunka, "horse"; kokipapi,
"they fear it"). This arose from th
fact that he had a vicious pony.
His English name is an example
not only of the frequent poor transla
tlon of Indian names by the whitei
but also of the fact that some in
significant Incident may be the decid
ing factor in naming a great In
dian warrior. Old-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses
retained his position as head
chief of the Ogallala until 1873. At hi?
death in the late '70s the name passed
on to his son, Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses,
who was prominent dur
ing Ghost Dance troubles of 1890-91
After the troubles were over a
Washington newspaper correspondent
was sent to interview Young-Man-Afraid.
The correspondent took an
Interpreter with him to the chiefs
tepee. Young-Man-AfraI asked them
to dinner. They ate. Then wanting
to do the right thing but not knowing
whether it was proper to tip a big
Indian chief, the newspaper man
dropped three silver dollars into the
hands of the chiefs wife and had hia
Interpreter say : "In my country a com
pliment to a man's wife is thought a
double compliment.
The interpreter repeated the state
ment to Young-Man-Afraid who
grunted, rose, left the tepee and came
back with fonr more wives!
