NOTHING ELSE "JUST AS GOOD"
A. merchant with a talent for
"dreaming" once remarked that he
wished that he could organize a
"personal propaganda" of this
sort —
He would quo'.e a half dozen bar
gain prices to one woman. She
would tell three of her friends.
Each of these in turn to be obligat
ed to tell three of her friends. The
chain to thus grow until a "c ; rcu
lation" had been obtained for his
ad. equal to that of the best news
paper in town.
"When one woman tells another
of a bargain to be obtained at a
certain store, the other woman will,
in two cases out three, manage to
get to the store to see about it," he
argued, "and that's why such a
plan would ktep the store full of
customers."
There are a few defects in the
plan. One of them is the time it
would take to "circulate" this
"spoked ad." An occasional "link"
in the chain would be broken by a
woman being away from home—
perhaps shopping at another
store —when the "personal adver
tisement" called. Another defect
is the fallibility of human memory
and testimony. By the time the
ad. had traveled to the tenth
person in progression it would
not remotely resemble the
original —and visitors to the store
would be demanding to buy '"bar
gains" which the merchant never
heard of. After any statement,
story or bit of gossip has been told,
on the tenth progesiion, its original
author will repudiate it absolut e
ly. This phase of the matter alone
would not only wreck the plan—it
would wreck the store that tried it.
The newspaper carries the mer
chant's story intact, and in a few
hours, to more women than could
be reached by the "human chain"
plan in a month.
No other advertising is "better."
No other is "just as good."— Sand

BIG MILL CHANGES HAND.
John Lingren and Attorney Fin
ley Monroe, of Etnmett, were in
town last Saturday closing up a
deal on Lingren's flour mill, locat
ed in this city. This deal has been
pending for some time and was
arranged through the Lucas Land
company. Several hundred acres
of land, some cash and securities
aggregating $14,000, were ex
changed for the mill property and
Messers. Sidney T. Parks, E. Cul
pepper, A. B. Lucas and P. V.
Lucas are now owjers of the mill,
whic*i makes it a home enterprise.
What the situation here demands
is, that the mill run, and it is with
this in view that the gentlemen
named have taken it over. The
property is entirely free lrom en
cumbrance, and with the capital,
business ability and energy of the
men interested, it ought to be very
successful. Long Valley Advocate.
Roosevelt in Jio Danger.
We are surprised to Bee the tele
grams carry a warning from Profes
sor Frederick Starr of the university
of Chicago, that President Roosevelt
will be in danger from the Congo fe
ver on his hunting trip to Africa. This
fever, as Professor Starr says, is
real and imminent peril in the region
where it prevails. And so is the jun
gle fever of the west African swamps.
So is the so-called "sleeping sick
ness."
But a little reflection will ease any
apprehension on this score. For, In
order to be liable to these dangerous
fevers, one must go where they pre
vail. Mr. Roosevelt Isn't going to any
part of Africa where there Is the least
likelihood of Ills catching these sick
nesses. He is going to the uplands of
eastern Afrloa, whore the health con
ditions are as good ns they average
in the United States; where I he fevers
referred to are not prevalent.
It would be just as pertinent for
some Europeun professor to give a
warning 111 behalf of 11 distinguished
Frenchman, or Uerman, who might in
tend to come to Salt Uike for In
stance, that by coming here he would
be In peril of catching the Chagres fe
ver. or the Hellste malaria, or any
other of the deadly terrors of the Unit'
coast of Mexico. Professor Starr
must know all this; and the proba
bility Is that something he has said
has been misunderstood.—Salt Lake
Tribune.
»'Ill Stop In Italy.
OYSTER BAY, March 9.—According
to the present expectations of ex
president Roosevelt, his entire family,
with the exce|>tlon of Mrs. Longworth
and Theodore, Jr., will spend most of
the time in Italy while Mr. Roosevelt
Is away. They will be the guests of
Mrs. Roosevelt's sister, Miss Carew, at
her villa near Rome.
Mrs. Roosevelt will remain at Saga
more Hill about three months after
her husband and son, Kermlt, sail for
Africa. Miss Ethel will remain with
her mother at home. Quentin and
Arhcibald, who are away at school,
will complete their ntudles and arrive
home early In June.
Mrs. Roosevelt and her three chll
(Iren will leave by a Mediterranean
steamer for maples about the latter
part of June. They will be met at
Naples by Miss Carew. During the
nine months intervening until tlie ar
rival of Mr. Roosevelt at Khartoum,
Mrs. Roosevelt and her children will
visit various parts of Italy and Eu
rope.
It has been planned to have Mrs.
Roosevelt leave Italy early in March,
1910, and journey across the Mediter
ranean to Alexandria and thence by
boat and rail up the Nile to Khartoum.
Here Mr. Roosevelt, with his expedi
tion, will arrive about April 1 and
will be met by Mrs. Roosevelt. They
will make visits to points of interest
in Egypt on their way down the Nile
and will then proceed to Europe.

THE SALOME DANCE AS SEEN IN
KALAMAZOO.
A local critic thus reviews La
Monlita's Salome dance, seen here
the other night;
The real noise of the perform
ance was La Monalita, a Spaniah
dancer, who "Interpreted" for the
first time in Kalamazoo the real,
unadulterated "Salome" dance—
wriggles, grimaces, paucity of cost
ume, head of John the Baptist and
all.
It was at the end of the first act
that Miss Fewclothe« came out in
the limelight, attended by a prio
uetting squad of about a dozen
young ladies trom the female semi
nary. They were attired in close
fitting pajamas and carried cheese
cloth curtains, which waved above
their heads, mean-while kow-tow
ing to Salome, who was taking a
nap on an unsanitary couch at the
rear of the rostrum.
The orchestra played langourous,
pulsating music and finally, when it
struck high G with a bang. Miss
"Salomy" hopped off her roost and
for a brief moment stood exposed
before the gaze of the audence in
the limelight. She was costumed
in a Ypsilanti union suit, gauzj
and pink, two strings of beads and
part of a fancy paper napkin, to say
nothing of a cuckoo feather in her
hair and a faint smile.
She came as near being naked
truth as anything that has been
seen upon the local stage since Anna
Held was here in "Papa's Wife."
Every time she had a whirling
spell she looked like Psyche at the
bath shaking off the gnats.
After she had loped gracefully
around the ring several times she
began to get fidgety, and in order
to quiet her one of the kitchen help
brought in wtiat was suppoaed to
be the head of John the Bapist in a
soup plate.
From the back of the house it
looked like a cocanut adorned with
spinach.
Salome grabbed the head, juggled
it for a minute, made a face or two
at it, and then put it on the floor.
Dropping on her "tummy" she
wriggled up to the "phoney" coca
and let on that she was going to
bite it but changed her mind, kick
ed up her heels and fainted away,
whereupon her lady triends came
from the seminary, jumped in the
;iir, dropped to their knees, salaam
ed and snuffled a bit, whether from
grief or the cold we cannot say.
La Manolita did a very neat and
perky "Salome" dance, as terpsi
chorean spasms of that sort go, and
made n distinct impression on her
beholders—especially those down
in the front rows. She is graceful
and shapely—so shapely, in tact,
that it isdoubtedjvery much whether
she could ever effect a successful
entrance into a tube gown.
While the dance was mildly
stattliug, it failed to shock anyone
to the point of tailing out of their
seat. If there is any fault to find
with it is La Monalita wears one
string of beads too many. — Show

Mr. Lincoln's All-collar Shirt.
General J. Warren Kelfer, formerly
speaker, and now again a member of
the house of representatives, told on
the floor of the house a few days ago
what he said was President Lincoln's
last story. General Kelfer said the
story was told him by Samuel Shall
abarger, who was a member of con
gress from Ohio for many years.
A bill to reorganize the mllttla of
the District of Columbia was up, and
Kelfer was speaking to It. He said
Shallabarger called at the White
House on the night Mr. Lincoln was
assassinated, just before the president
left for Ford's theater. Shallabarger
asked for the api>olntment of a con
stituent to a staff position in the artny.
"That reminds me of a story," Mr.
Lincoln said. "When 1 was a young
man out in Illinois there was a wo
man who lived in our neighborhood
who made shirts. An Irishman went
to her and ordered a white shirt for
some special function. The woman
made it and laundered it and sent it
to her customer
W hen he got it the
Irishman found the shirt had been
starched all the way around, instead
of only in the bosom, and he returned
it with the remark that he didn't want
a shirt that was all collar
'The trouble with you, Shallabar
ger," said Mr. Lincoln, "is that you
want the Army all staff and 110 army."
THE RELIEF TRAIN.
On the relief train that had been
rusl ed to the scene of the railway
wreck was a newspaper leporter.
rematks the Chicago Tribune.
The first victim he saw was a man
whose eyes were in mourning and
whose left arm was in a sling.
With his hair full of dirt, one end
of his shirt collar flying loose, and
his coat ripped up the back, the
victim was sitting on the grass and
serenely contemplating the lands
cape. "How many people .»re
hurt?" asked the reporter, hurry
ing up to him. "I haven't heard
of anybody being hurt, young man,"
said the other. "How did this
wreck happen?" 'I haven't heard
of any wreck." "You haven't?
Who are you, anyhow?" "I don't
know that it's any of your business,
but I'm the claim agent of the
toad."
Crouch's Auto Arrives
W. T. Crouch received his new
automobile on Monday and bis
good old family horse has taken to
the tall timber. It is a four cylin
der Buick and is able to tear all
kinds of holes in the atmosphere.
Tuesday morning, Mr. Crouch took
W. S. Shane and H. A. Blackman
out on the bench to watch the value
of land go up, but when three miles
out the machine balked and
refused to move. A council of war
was held and every device known
to horse traders was used to induce
the pesky thing to at least bring
them home. Crouch with consi ier
able difficulty crawled in under the
machine and yanked the dewdad of
the jolly whopper. Nothing doing.
Shane emptied the oil can into the
the periwinkle of '.he dugenipper.
Still nothing doing. Blackman
allowed he could fix it, and bent
the ossimeter of the toejammer a
leetle south of south west of town
ship 7 north, of range I west of
Boise Meridian, but Mr: Buick
retused to even give out a smell.
Finally all three looked into the
gasoline tank and found it empty.
Blackman and Shane hit the pike
for town, and Crouch mide a bee
line for Wayman Ranch No. 9999
for the purpose of hiring one of the
1600 pound mules to kick him.
Henry Cook played the good Sam
aritan and towed out a tank ot gas
oline and the Buick came back to
town with its head up and tail a

HIS FEET HURT HIM.
John McGillis, who has been on
the Peak-Chronicle force for the
last two years, took sudden leave
last Saturday, and Monday evening
embarked for more congenial at
mosphere. When tiie green grass
begins to push its way through the
snow banks, John gets a tickling
sensation of the feet, having been
a journeyman printer for about 30
years, and he cannot withstand he
desire for new pastures when the
