IT IS A GREAT GAME
You Draw the Tickets and Somebody
Gets the Wheel.
THE BICYCLE RATTLE CRAZE
How a Man Feels After He Has
Drawn and Drawn. and Then
Draws Nothing-They Say
It's Exciting.

Missoula, March 6.-The bicycle raf-
ne Ia the latest imposition that has
been foisted upon this patient and long
suffering community. Missoula has
successfully weathered a long season
of church fairs and subscription papers
but to be confronted by such a conf
dence game as the bicycle rattle, just
as summer is in sight, is more than
any town could stand and Missoula
will all be in Warm Springs before May
If the rattle is not headed off In its ne
farious work.
IL is so alluring, so seductive, so in
wiling that the unwary victim is nipped
before he knows what has happened.
The manipulators work the racket as
skillfully as a monte man does his
fancy passes. You are told that there
are $50 tickets, numbered from l, up;
that the first 35 cost nothing; that
above that you pay a cent for every
unit In the number on the ticket you
draw. That looks easy. You draw.
OF course the first one you draw is a
little one-No. 3s-and II costs you
nothing. You think you're lucky-poor
deluded fool-and you draw again. The
second draw gives you No. LAG. Ii is
strange how many 23's and 146's there
are in a box of tickets. BY this time,
the gambling fever is on you and, un-
less you have phenomenal strength of
mind. you keep drawing in the vain
hope of pulling out another free one.
Maybe you will, but ii is extremely
doubtful. When your money is all
gone you stand aside, rich in expert
ence. and watch some other blamed
fool get caught.
Then Ii looks funny. And when the
other fellow gets stuck and comes and
STANDS beside you, he laughs, too. at
the next victim. 1t is a great game. 1t
doesn't matter much about the draw
ing of the wheel You have had your
fun. What more do you want? You
didn't expect TO draw wheel any
way. 50 you have no interest in the
matter
n. B.-Anybody who wants a fine
collection of tickets can find some at
the Missoula office of the Standard
None of them are yet void. They can
be secured at a nominal price, as the
owner has other uses for his money.

Having been very successful in rid
ding the orchards and vineyards OF
the State of several insect pests by
putting one destructive insect against
another, California is now trying the
same principle in her rivers. Some
of the rivers are almost alive with
carp, which are serious nuisance be-
cause of their destructiveness to other
fish. The State Fish Commissioners
have procured large number OF black
bass, of both the small-mouthed and
largc-mouthed varieties, and turned
them loose in the carp-infested rivers.
Bass are voracious feeders and game
fighters, and it is expected they will
destroy great numbers of the carp fry
and eventually clean out the carp
The bass are, of course, very desirable
game fish to have in the rivers, while
the carp are not.

A full Major in a gospel army which
is conducting campaign in San
Francisco was drummed out of the
ranks publicly one night last week for
the serious ofleDse of trying to steal
the army. The stated charge was
conduct unbecoming soldier of the
cross" The army is an uninCorpo-
rated organization of considerable
size, maintaining several barracks and
forts in San Francisco. The Major
in question had the instincts of a die
tator, and panied the General of the
army by his characterization and am
bition. Finally the Major was found
out in plot to have the army incor-
porated, with himself and tour men
of his clique as incorporators. The
General and his chief of staff were to
be frozen out. Then the General de-
cided that for his own safety, as well
as tor the good of the army, the Major
must be bounced.

! The generally satisfactory of
farming operations in England,
writes our London SPECIAL CORE
spondent, also prevails on the Eu-
Iropean continent, from no part OF
which come complaints. The out
look, which was so bad in Tunis,
has been latterly much altered,
rain having fallen abundantly, with
the result that fairly good crops
are now regarded as most probable;
at one time there seemed to be a
great likelihood of everything being
lost. In Asia Minor the barley
harvest is just about beginning,
and an average yield is expected.
During May the cutting of wheat
will commence, and prospects for
this grain are also considered to be
good. The reports from India is
sued officially show that the out
run is likely to be less than last
year possibly to the extent of 20
per cent, so that during the current
year India may not be expected to
be an extensive shipper of wheat.
The general price of British
wheat is now lower than it has
been for at least three months, and
there appears little likelihood Of
any advance occurring in the cargo
markets. The quantities on offer
are not particularly heavy, but
there is nothing lively in the trade;
California wheat is worth from 81
to 73c per bushel. Mixed Ameri-
can corn remains unchanged at 461
cents for June or July delivery.
Barley shows slightly hardening
tendency, American oats 81 cents.
During the 81 weeks of the present
cereal season the imports of wheat
into the U. X. have been about q
millions of bushels less than in the
corresponding period of last year,
but flour has shown considerable
increase, and corn an enormous
growth mot less than 23,000,000 of
bushels) it is somewhat surpris-
ing that.values have not fallen to a
greater extent than they have.
There has been also considerable
drop in the quantities Of barley and
oats. Prices of wheat in the Paris
market are 954 cents, Antwerp 795
cents, Berlin $l.03 and at Amster-
dam u cents. Alfalfa seed in the
Paris market ranges from 1915 to
81 per bushel for ordinary qualities,
but Providence seed ranges as high
as $3.50.
