Travellers from the United States will go
miles to see an old house famous as having
been tho residence of some celebrity; but
Americans take very little care of their own
houses. The houses once occupied by the
Gtifins, Beschers, Stoves and other famous
Bostonians and Americans are now in the
hands of foreigners. who know and ca rs
nothing concerning their previous history.

for the Old South church should do some

quarters of Gen. Gage and officers during

and the Wells house on Salem street, built
in 1860, in which it is believed that the Bap-
lists held some of their sec ct meetings dur

The Place to Buy Ladies', Children's and
Infants Garments.
This Ia the time OF year when the ladies
begin to look around for heavier garments
for themselves and the little ones. There
is nothing SO healthy as being comfortably
and s%easonably clad. Butcher d Bradley,
at 1O5 Broadway, offer inducements to in
tending purchasers that it would pay them
to consider before la ing in their winter
supply of clothing, etc. The house deals
particularly In fancy goods, and in that
line has a reputation second to none in the
west. A full line of ladies' and children's
furnishing goods is carried at all times, and
those having need for such can be
suited, no matter what the taste OF
the purchaser may be. Infants outfits
especially underwear, are carried in large
and complete stock. Mothers will doubt
less find it a saving of time, az we'll as
trouble, to purchase such articles ready
made, especially when they can be assured
that there ii Il place in tow where they can
get the worth of their money. Such a
place is Butcher u ;adley's. The fiji
makes it an object to procure things which
they alone sell. Such articles are kept or
hand, not for the purpose of taking sd-
vantage of anything like a corner in any
garments of a particular style, but as an
assurance to the public that they get just
the goods they pay for. The fact that
Butcher & Bradley's is the place is the only
assurance needed. The prices are always
low at this we'll known HOUSE.. They
are satisfied to make q reason
able profit on what they sell, and
let their patrons get the full benefit of the
low prices. A large line of hand tinted
table, stand and pillow covers has just
been received. 1t is the only lot of the
kind in town. Butcher IL Bradley got the
whole lot, and this means that the people
can have the goods at a very moderate
price. The house is agent for the cele-
brated jackson corset waist, DIR. Watner's
%corsets, and Jenness Miller patterns. In
making purchases the people bear in mind;
first, economy; second. quality. Both OF
these important considerations are what
make the people select Butcher g. Bradley's

established for a long time, and its reputa-

The Pioneer and Leading Establishment
of Its Kind ia Montana.
This old and we'll known conservatory has
been established in Helena for years and
does business in all parts Of the state. 1t
is the largest in Helena and is stocked with
rare plants and flowers of all varieties.
During the past season all the floral deco
rations used at the Hotel ~Broadwater were
furnished by the Wells conservatory. Some
magnificent displays of cut flowers and
potted plants were seen at receptions given
recently at the residences of Mrs. N. W..
Mcconnell, Mrs. Peter Larson and Mrs. e.
G. Babcock. The arrangement of the floral
decorations was designed BY the conserva-
tory florists. AT all the large society events
throughout the state flowers and plants
from this conse vatory are to be SEEN. The
consei vatory furnishes flowers for evening
parties and does the decorating necessary
and makes a speciality OF funeral and we'd
ding designs. Plants of all kinds can be
secured at nominal rates for use at recep-
tions, parties. balls, etc. Deliveries are
made to all parts of the city. The oonserv-
atory, just east of Rodney street and south
of broadway, covers n large space
of ground and is one OF the
best equipped plants of its kind

HELENA EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
A Place to Secure Situations and All Kinds
of Help.

| A Place to Secure Situations and All Kinds
of Help.
One of the most difficult things encoun-
tered ell over the world is to find the de-
sirable kim Of help without going to great
trouble. The Helena Employment agency,
which is conducted by w. b. Cook, at "a
Edwards street, is designed to do away with
all trouble and worry over such matters as
procuring suitable help; and not only that
but getting situations for those who wish
service. Applicants are made constantly to
the agency for positions as cooks, house
maids, etc.. in private residences, boarding
houses, hotels. restaurants, or for places in
camps or on ranches. A record is
made of the names, addresses, class of
work, wages desired and other details. Next
comes the housekeeper who wants q cook
or q ohambermaid or a nurse; or the ranch
man who wants q cook or Il few harvest
hands, or the railroad contractor or wood
dealer who wants men to work for him.
They tell the employment agent what class
of help they want and how many of each.
The agency books are referred to and there
are found among the list of applicants for
suited to fill the bill. Is is all very simple;
it is, in fact. a labor saving device. John
Smith wants a place as camp cook. Will
liam Brown ia a railroad contractor
who wants a cook for his camp.
Instead of going chasing around
all over creation, each looking for what the
other has to give. they go to the employ
ment agent, and everybody is suited.
Oftentimes the person who goes to the
agency to look for work finds some one has
already applied for just such help. while
those who 90 to seek help find some one
registered who wants Just such a place.
Besides attending to the matter of securing
help for some and places for others, the
Helena employment agency makes a bust
ness of renting houses for those who have
not the time TO look after their property.
seeing to the securing of good and prompt
tenants. the collection of rents, etc. The
agency has a high reputation for fair deal
ing with all it's customers that ID second
to nome. Those desiring help and those
wishing places should give this old estab-
lished concern a call.

at Kouen In 1929. From then until 1850
nttemp pts to make this useful article were
continued at Rouen, though IL can scarcely
be called an industry. 1t was not until
shout l760 that the use of wall paper be-
came popular In France. whom the people
began to substitute IL for woven tapestry
~ a decoration. At this period kevillon
established at Rouen the first wall paper
mandatory, and Gre long Its product be-
came noted for their utility and beauty. The
first wall paper used in America was at
Mount Vernon, the homs Of Washington.
The paper WAS imported from France espe-
cially for the Washington home, and was
hung under the personal supervision of the
father of his country. The first factory
for making wall paper in this country
WAS established in 1889 on Chestnut street.
Philadelphia. Prior to 1886 all h~anRings
were made by hand In square sheets. In
hat yenre u machine was invented to print
proved, allowing the use Of four coiors.
From then on the wall paper in
dussry has grown wonderfully. until the
yearly production Of the mills of this
country is now over 40, 600, 600 rolls. Some
OF the patterns Of wall paper turned out by
the factories of to-day are exceedingly
handsome. There are designs to suit all
tastes. and many of them rival frescoing.
At no place can a more varied or a moro
beautiful assortment of wall papers be
found than at the estaElishment.of Charles
Grossman, In the Kleinschmidt block, Sixth
avenue and Warren street. Mr.. Grossman
carries a full line of wall paper and mould
inRs for interior decoration. besides mana
featuring picture frames of all descrip-
tions. The proprietor gives his personal
attention TO the work and assures his
patrons of first class workmanship. Those

ationa of their homes would do we'll to call

PIONEER ASSAY OFFICE.
One of the Most Reliable Concerns of tn
Kind In Montana.

Kind In Montana.
The Pioneer Assay office, "a Edward
street. OF which Fred j. Thomas is the p O.
prietor, is not only one of the Oldest con-
Germs of the kind in the city, but also in the
state. This is the only manufacturing es-
Establishment in Helena where rubber stamps
are made to order, and on very shortnotice.
A notarial, corporate or lodge seal made
with q solid metal base for $3.50. 1t is a
known fact that the Pioneer Assay Office is
the only place in the state where seals with
metal bases are made. Rubber type md
rubber dates, and rubber stamps are made
nowhere else in Helena. 1t is such a saving of
time and labor TO have a rubber stamp to
drop on receipts and OF her vouchers. In
this busy age one has not the time to spend
writing out a set formula for hundreds of
bills and other documents. let alone the
labor involved in such a proceeding. He
has the set formula reduced to the shape of
a rubber stamp. with, if necessary, adjusta-
BILE dates. Instead of writing it all hun
dreds of times, he sets the machine over
the paper. presses the handle, and the
stamp does the rest. As every man has his
own ideas as to how he would like his
stamp to look, There is no way for him to
get what everybody else hasn't got except
to have it made to order. Nowhere else
in Helena can he do this but at
the Pioneer Assay Office. Unless it ia
a more than usually difficult job the
chances are he will have it within twenty
four hours after he leaves his order. Sui
the assay work of this we'll known and reli-
able concern must not be overlooked. 1t is
second to none in the state. or for that
matter, in the United States. Fully
| equipped with all that ia needed. the pro-
prietor can make an assay that will tell the
mine owne or the prospector just what
he has in sight. This is about the season
when the prospectors begin to come in
from the hills with samples of what they
have found. Their first thought is to hum
up an aasnyer and find out what they have
struck. The Pioneer assay office is the
place TO 90.
