a Red Balloon. so
HE GAVE HIS DOVE CANDY
Then She Laughed. He Smiled and
the Little Boy Remained In Re- u.
spectful Silence as the 4''i7A'
Train Moved Along.

Mdssoula, Dec. 5.-People along HiS-
gins avenue were entertained early this
afternoon by the antics of a rustic bril-
dal couple who had eveident1y come TO
the city on their tour. They were as
happy as two children and were ut
terly oblivious to scores of interested
and amused observers. who followed
their course down the avenue. Zach
was all the world to the other, and
with clasped hands they strolled from
one store window TO the other. eagerly
inspecting the displays of holiday
goods. ff
Their costumes were attractive. not
so much for their elegance as for their
novelty. and would have drawn a prize
at an old folks bah. But they were
satisfied, and his heavy. thick-soled
boots and her bonnet of ancient pat
tern were as pleasing to them as IL
they had been razor-tipped patent
feathers. and the latest product of the
milliner's art. He bought for her a
little sack of candy, and together they
munched the sweets as they walked
down thestreet. Their happiness was so
evident and so complete that even the
small boy was silent and only smiled
as he saw them pass.
AS they wandered along they en-
countered an old italian with a bunch
or toy balloons. The bride evidently
wanted one, and the groom boldly
tackled the dealer. The inflated rubber
things cost two-bits. That was a lot OF
money. and the gallant spouse hesitated
a little when the italian told him, but
a mans wedding tour comes but once
in an ordinary life and he concluded
that a matter of rs cents should not in
terfere with the happiness of his little
wife. So he bought the balloon. l2
If they were happy before. they were
ecstatic now, and their Joy over the
bright red toy made all who witnessed
1t happy. First she would carry 1t a
while. letting II rise the full length of
the string and then drawing 1t in again.
Then he would take Vt and pretend that
he was going to let IT go. With "a little
scream she would jump for the balloon
and he would smile at her excitement
and let her take II. So they passed out
OF sight, as happy as two children, and
many a man who saw them wished
that he could be as hght-hearted as
they were. ~ u

Missoula. Dec. 5.-The last act in the
performance of ''Wickoff's woes, or the
brakeman's revenge" was performed to-
day in Judge Landers' court room, when
wickoff withdrew the charge OF robbery
that he had made against ]. W. McAuis-
ter and made a new complaint, charging
McAllister with assault. Wickoff has had
abundance of trouble lately from credi-
tors and others and has been chased
around by those who wanted to get even
with him. but the climax was reached to-
day. McAllister was found not guilty of
assault. -Four or five witnesses swore
positively that McAllister thumped the
ear of Of Wickoff. but the jury decided
that no assault had been Committed
The jurors evidently considered n a case
of justihable pounding.

THE SMILE.
How the City Marshal Allowed the Court
Omclals to Freeze.

How the City Marshal Allowed the Court
OmcIais to Freeze.
Missoula. Dec. 5.-There is always a
fuss in the city hall when II comes to
starting the fire in the morning in the
police court and clerks Office. City
Marshal Angevine is usually the vic
tim. as he gets around first and has
to build the fire or freeze. After he has
1t well started City Clerk Hoblitzell
and Treasurer Kemp drop in and COM
pliment the marshal on his success as a
fireman and stoker. When the room
Is Thoroughly warm and comfortable,
Judge Ross saunters in and remarks
that 1t Is a nice morning before pro-
ceeding with the dispensation of JUS
tice. But once in a great while, the
marshal gets ahead of his associates
and then there is trouble for some
body.
This morning the air was cold and
penetrating when the Standard report
er walked toward the police court and
there was cheer and comfort in the
thought of the warmth that prevailed
In the court room ahead. But there
was no warmth there, neither was
there any comfort All was bleak and
drear. The stove was cold and the
frost on the windows was white and
thick. The marshal was not there and
the clerk. the treasurer and the judge
were absent. On the desk behind
which Judge Ross does business was
the following notice. written upon one
of Judge Ross letter heads:
ITO whom IL may concern: / am up
at the court house. You can make the
fire. Plenty OF wood down stairs.
"R- w. A."
The city marshal had stolen a march
on his friends and was doubtless gloat-
ing over their discomfort while he was
sitting beside a CHEEKY fire at the coun-
ty court house. But he reckoned with
out his host. When he returned to the
police court two hours later he found
the room as he had left 1t and there
was no evidence of anybody having
been there after he had lett in the
morning except the following lines,
which were written beneath his notice:
"A man who does a trick like that,
Doesn't need a firemans trade.
For he'll get a berth, when ne leaves
the earth.
Where fires are ready made"
These lines were signed u. S. K"
and the marshal knew that the city
treasurer had been there and he real
lied that the treasurer had gone him
one better. so he went down and got
some wood. Soon there was a fire in
the stove of the police court. The mar
shall says There's no use bucking
against a man who writes poetry"
