TOWNS THAT GROW.
In every country and in every;
stale can be found towns that are
continually forging ahead, while
others remain practically at a
standstill and accomplish nothing
in the way of advancement. In
every case the fault can be found
to rest, not with the town, but
with the people themselves. An ex
change has been thinking pretty
seriously along this line and it
presents its conclusions in this
way:
ine reason way some towns
grow is because they have men in
them with push and energy who
are not afraid lo spend their time,
energy and money in anything
that will boom and benefit the
town. They have confidence
enough in their town to erect sub
stantial and modern buildings
and residences and work for pub
lic improvements in the same or
der.
“They organize companies and
establish factories, induce indus
trial enterprise to locate and use
every effort to further the best in
terests of the town. Their work
is never considered finished and
the accomplishment of one thing
is only an incentive of another.
“(3n the other hand the town
that does not get ahead will be
found to be dominated by either
a set of men who are perfectly
satisfied with their surroundings
or who are afraid somebody else
will benefit in the event some
thing is started: conseipienlly no
^effort of any kind is made by this
class for these I wo reasons.
“If some men or set of men en
deavor In start somelhing (hey
are mol by opposition and dis
couragemenl and ii is uphill work
all the way and ul'len failure.
“Kvery |uwn. however, has a.
certain progressive elemenl which
hopes for a turn of the tide when
the town will go forward by leaps
and bounds ;ynl occupy a posit ion
of importance and obtain numer
ous advantages which go lo make
a good town in every sense.
"But this stage cannot be ac
complished hv mere wishes or
suppositions. If can only come
from harmony in purpose and ac
lion and tin* eternal vigilance of
its citizens.
“The town with these things
will continue to grow and im
prove, but (he town without them
can be expected to remain in a
state of lethargy indefinitely
without affording its residents
but a mere existence.”
DANCING.
Dancing is one of the many
frequent occurrences which con
vey lessons but whose lessons us-'
ually pass off unheeded.
In the first place it shows a
man to be an exceedingly simple
animal that likes to keep time
with music. He shows this even
when he walks down the street
in' which a band is playing. Un
consciously he lets his feet march
rythmically. Even the tune he
whistles will be lapped off by his
steps. There is evidently some
thing in him which craves for
harmony and for a riot of har
mony he goes to Eagle or A. B.
hall.
Marching to a tune is really
dancing in its simplest form.
When soldiers march to a band
they are performing just as much
as a woman in the “throes” of
a Salome and the crowd is tempt
ed to cheer as the crowd is tempt
ed to cheer at a Virginia reel or
a Texas Tommy. “The children
cheered the tramping feet that
went to war away” is a phrase in
one of those old songs which con
vey a much deeper meaning than
one discerns at first glance.
In Alaska people go to dances
who would never think of going
to dances outside. Indeed dancing
may be almost regarded as the
national game of Alaska and
sooner or later men of even the
age of reason and far beyond get
the fever here for the first time
in their lives. They are never
happy, the old codgers, until they
can prance around to the tune
of a two-step.
If there were only one sex danc
ing' would still be popular. It
would be a story without a wo
man. With the sex intermingling
it, becomes a romance.
The dances of Eskimos are far
superior to the dances of whiles.
The natives fell a story in their
dance as a composer tells a story
in his music. They by their emo
tions suggest the story of a wal
rus or bear hunt. We merely keep
time like children, their dance is
poetry. Ours is just jingling
rhyme.
Surely dancing is an awful
waste of time. As execise it is
useless unless for very fat peo
ple and very fat people have some
difficulty in getting dances unless
they dance alone. It 'takes the
bloom which might have been on
the cheeks if the same amount of
exercise were taken out of doors.
Hut, after all, we love our bloom
ing cheeks, but, oh, you bloom
ing three-step.—Ex.
MUCH MONEY SPENT
IN PICTURE SHOWS
At tin* present time the Amer
ican people are spending $500,
000 daily on motion picture
shows. Every day in the United
Stales more than 5,000,000 per
sons go to see moving picture
shows, and on an average each
person usually stays an hour.
There are at least 20,000 of these
moving picture show houses in
the United States, and the num
ber increases at the rate of 30 to
70 a week. There are in the Unit
ed Slates 500,000 persons engag
ed directly or indirectly in the
moving picture business. The
business represents an invest
ment of $200,000,000.
No Joke to Jokanaan.
Herocnas gazoo at her daughter
admiringly as she danced before
the king on that memorable oc
casion.
“Dear Salome,” she murmured,
“1 always fell that she would get
ahead.”
Which shows that the jests of
I he ancients were s'omefimes in
eery poor taste.
