We wish you would begin
to look up your Boys Clothes
early enough this spring-to
go around from store to store
and see for yourself how
much larger Our variety is
how much better our qualities
are-how much newer our
novelties are how much
lower our prices are-in short
to know from actual compari-
son how much better you can
do here than anywhere else in
town.
We want to tell you that
there are very few coflnuni-
ties i'll this country that have
got as good a Boys and Chill
dren's Clothing Store as you
have in ours.
And we're going to make
it better this season than it
has been even.
You know there is some
character to our BOYS
Clothes-some style about
'em. They look as if they
were made for the boy and
not the boy for the clothes.
But this talk is all pre-
liminary. We really would
like to have you come in and
survey the field'-no matter
if you haven't the slightest in
tention of buying just at pres
ent. The looking will do you
good.
Tomorrow is as good a day
as any.

.verything Moving Along NiceIy-A Lot
Of L udidates

.-verything Moving Along Nicely-A Lot
Of ndidates
Missoula, March S.-Politicans have
been very quiet to-day and no new
states have been announced. There is
a rumor in circulation, however, to the
effect that there will be a new candi-
date for governor in the field before
another Sunday rolls around 1t seems
very foolish for Missoula TO start an
other boom for governor when the
Smead boom is so well under way and
has received so many assurances of
success. If Missoula keeps on with
these additions to her list of faVorite
sons she will have more than she can
conveniently handle. There may be
glory in having such a large stock of
favorite sons to choose from but there
Is danger in tapping the supply too
often.
There is a possibility, If the list of
candidates is not soon closed, that Mis-
soula's republican candidates will not
be taken seriously. To place so many
in the field would seem in the nature of
a burlesque. While there is no doubt
that the whole state recognizes the true
merit and ability of each of Missoula' s
republican favorite sons, il is really
asking too much of the state to expect
the entire state ticket. with the posi-
BILE exception of lieutenant governor, to
ticket would possess certain excellent
features, but there might be-there
probably would be-in the eastern and
central parts of the state, some repub-
licans who would be blinded by Sec
tional feelings TO such an extent that
they would not support republican
ticket composed entirely of Mssoula' s
favortte sons, however meritorious and
deserving these candidates might be-
For this reason. 1t would seem advis-
able, from an outside standpoint, for
Missoula republicans to declare the
| list of entries closed and make their
selections from those who are already
| before the public.
This suggestion should not be consid-
cred by the republicans as implying
that their ticket, thus made up, would
not be a good one. 1t is made in a
| friendly spirit and only for the pur-
pose of preserving the dignity of the
| city and preventing the possibility of
| the candidacy of good Missoula men
from becoming a farce. While the an
/ nouncement of the candidacy of the
several Missoula aspirants has been
made In good faith, there seems to be
tendency on the part of the press of
the state to treat the matter lightly.
This should not be the case. From the
| list of Missoula's candidates there
could be chosen two or three who
would be sure winners. The other
| places on the ticket could be filed per-
haps, by men from other parts of the
state.
For this reason the entries should be
| closed at once and books made for the
race. The Ravalli Republican last
week printed an editorial which shows
that the outside press is not disposed
to regard favorably the plan of forming
| the republican state ticket entirely
from Missoula men. Lest the sincerity
| of Missoula in its effort to serve the
state be misconstrued, IL would be as
| well for the local republicans to leave
vacancy or two, to be filled by men
| from the east side.

Characters In i-enous to the Region In
Kentucky Unique In their Way.
From the Washington Star.
i was picking my way along a rough
piece of road in the Kentucky noun
tains, says a Star writer, most of
which was in a creek bed in summer,
and wasn't much of any place when
the waters were up, when an old noun
taineer, clad in homemade jeans and
riding a mule, came down a path that
led out of long hollow between the
hills and Joined me. Naturally l was
glad to see him. for the somber loneli-
ness of these mountains is almost in
tolerably depressing at times, and any
kind of company is welcome. AS we
went on up the creek road the old fell
low followed about 10 feet behind me,
owing to the narrowness of the way.
We talked about everything in sight
and at last got down to personali-
ties.
Il suppose you are a married mann"
called back to him.
Il shore am" he replied, though
whether it was a tone of Joy or not L
could hardly say.
That's where you have the advant-
age of me-" L confessed, without COM
pulsion. I'm a bachelor"
Well you shore don't live nowars in
these parts, do yer?" he asked, with
mo. but don't see what that has to
do with it,"
That's Gaze you hain't never tried
hit. A man jist couldn't live in these
here mountains without he had some
sort NV comp'ny that hadn't no other
place to CO."
Well it's rather lonesome anywhere,
all by ones self" 1 admitted.
Il reckon mebbe it is, but eff thar's
somethin' else goin' on 1 reckon tina
might be some gittin' along without
bein' hitched to a red-headed woman,
with a temper to match"
Evidently the old mans argument
was leading him into the betrayal of
domestic secrets.
Il know some very charming women
who have red hair" / said consol-
ingly.
But you haint married to it. Red
hair may do for rs or 100 meals, but
hit hain't no good for stiddy diet"
Have you any children" 1 asked,
willing to veer somewhat from the sub
ject of hair
NV age. Leastwise," and the old man
stopped a moment in thought, least
wise thar wuz five when 1 left home
last Sunday.
why. what's the matter; any of
themsick?"
NO" he hesitated. but you know
how things is in these parts.'
Il can't say that 1 do: Is 1t un-
healthy?"
WELL" kinder he laughed. You
see, my boys has ben havin' some
trouble with their neighbors furder up
the crick, but ez long ez 1 wuz around
they kinder he'll in; howsumdever, Their
nanny wuz aggin' 'em on, fur she

ez many boys in my family now ez Their
wuz when 1 left, for them neighbors is
about the shootinest folks you ever see
when they gifts riled, an they rifle pow
erful easy"
The old mans explanation had a
rather depressing effect upon me, but
as he seemed to take it as matter of
course, and was rather cheerful than
otherwise, l braced up, and when we
separated, he to go off to the left down
another hollow, and 1 to go on over the
gap, l was feeling in comparatively
good spirits.

SAVED BY A GLOVE BUTTON
Suspended over a FrightfaI Chasm by a
Frail Cord.

From the Bangor News.
How much may depend upon a glove
fastening was illustrated at one of the
Monson slate quarries in an adventure
which the person concerned would not
care to repeat. He was a derrick man
who stood on the brink of one of the
great chasms from which the STATE
rock is hoisted. His duty was to
catch hold of the big hook depending
from the end of the boom as IL swung
over the bank into the pit. Staining
upon the very edge he reached out to
catch the hook which dangled near
him. 1t was winter and he wore thick
buckskin gloves. The hook slipped
from him as he leaned out. but caught
into the fastening of the glove.
The swing of the great boom took
him off his feet in an instant and car
ried him out into giddy space. with
his life depending on the gloves hold
ing fast. His whole weight was hung
on that button, and there was a clear
175 feet of space between him and the
floor of the rock below. The moments
that passed before the boom could be
swung back over the bank seemed
like hours to him, but he got there
at last safe and sound. He explained
that he did not move his hand in the
glove or attempt to catch the hook
OF position would loosen the button so
il would give way. His presence of
mind in keeping as still as possible
may have helped to keep the slender
thread from breaking.

Missoula, March s.-About o'clock this
morning a fellow came up West Front
street hatless and painless. On his body
he had an old vest and a torn coat. He
was cold and shivering, but he was mad

dressed I'm a new suit that he purchased
yesterday. When he woke up his pants.

their stead was heap of rags in which
he had clothed himself as best he could.
He was as mad as a wet hen. He did not
ask for policeman-all he wanted was
to find the son-of-a-gun that stole his
pants At last accounts he had not found
