Great Falls has for a year or more
past enjoyed a remarkable degree of i'm
munity from the species OF crime which
has come to be designated as "holdup,'
but recently the highwaymen seem te
have been getting in their work at 6
lively rate.)o The latest case occurred
Monday morning on the West side. A
sheepherder named John Komer, who
had been working for Flowerree, neal
Havre, started the other day from that
place to Great Falls and, having sundry
private reasons for not wishing to pay
his fare on the railroad, or walk, he
made arrangements to steal a ride in q
o car. On the trip he made the &C.
quaintance of two hobocs, also travelling
by speciaEcar. The party arrived at the
Great Falls u Canada crossing about
$50 a. M. Monday, and when the train
stopped, jumped out of their hiding
place in the car and made off toward
the old fair grounds, komer wanted
to start for the city, but his new
found friends persuaded him to &c
with them to the fair grounds, where
they said they had some blankets cached
away. Arriving at the deserted fair
ground buildings, the two hoboes sud.
denly seIzed Komer and one Of them
choked him, the other presented Il re.
volvor at his head and proceeded to GO
through his pockets, taking from HIM a
certificate of deposit on the Northwest.
ern National bank for $50, which repre-.
sented wages which Homer had deposit
ed there last August. He was then told
that if he left the fair, grounds before
dark he would be shot by the man with
the gun, who would remain on guard.
After robbing their victim the two
men left the fair grounds and fastened
to the city, arriving at the Northwestern
bank about noon, when they presented
the certificate and asked to have it
cashed. The teller was suspicious of the
men, and their answers to his inquiries
increased his doubts as to the manner in
which they had come by the certificate,
80 he refused to cash it and notified the
police. .' ''
just about an hour later Komer, who
after a reconnaissance found the coast
clear, arrived at the, bank and told bis
story.
The police got a good description of
the men from Billy Newell of Little
Chicago, who passed them while on his
way to the fair grounds for a training
sprint around the track on his wheel. He
was %Rccosted by the highwaymen, but
not liking their appearance, he made a
squirt away from their company on his
wheel. The police hope to catch the
rascals yet, but it is probable that they
got out Of town immediately as soon as
they found the bank suspected that the
certificate was not honestly in their pos
session.

City Built by Iaaocts.

Did you ever examine one of those
peculiar little cities known to the COM
mon people as "an ant hill," but to the
student of nature as ''the CITY of the
ants?" Their little underground cities
are equally as wonderful as "subter-
ranean London" about which all have
read so much, especially to the one who
loves to study natures kinks and find
"tongues in trees, books in running
everything" Such cities are as we'll
built, comparatively speaking, as are
the cities built by man, and are ar
ranged with an eye to neatness, con-
venience, durability, etc. The homes
which lie ON either side Of the main
streets (tunnels) of these ant cities are
constructed very artfully. Short corri-
dors lead from the main tunnel and ter
inmate in the rooms, which are quite
extensive, when the size of the inhabit-
ants is taken into consideration. These
rooms have vaulted roofs, which are
supported here and there, but always in
regular order, with strong pillars formed
of mixture of earth and slime, which
is secreted by the ant workmen. Each
room usually has two openings for in
gress or egress, one connecting with a
'street" and another with one of the
numerous side galleries which ramify
the ant city in all directions.
The population of these cities differs
in numbers according to the species or
prosperity of the colony, but is always
composed of three distinct classes, the
males, the females and the neuters.
These neuters are the sexless workers
and occupy the same position in the ant
city that the neuter or worker does in
the bee family. st. Louis Republic

A Question of Honor.

She is young, happily married and
prosperous. A short time ago she lost
her purse in the street, and Immediately
upon discovering her loss went to a
newspaper Office and put in an adver-
tisement, offering reward for the re-
turn of the missing article. The follow
ing day poor man brought the purse to
her house and claimed the reward. Leav-
ing him standing at the door, she disap-
peared, presumably to get the promised
sum, but in reality to send one of her
servants for policeman, although she
had no good reason for doubling the
mans statement that he had picked up
the purse in the street. He was not ar
rested, but he got no reward. This sort
of thing is rather discouraging to persons
with honest Intentions

1t did not grow at all. Sometimes

much longer and prettier was the hair
of all three of my sisters, but | was
careless. When l became a
woman | suddenly developed desire
to have long hair like theirs, and began
to take the utmost care of what little

twice a day, l brushed 1t thoroughly,
but 1t did not grow any better. Then
l noticed that the brush, after the daily
application to the hair, even when the
latter had no tendency to fall out,
would be filed with very fine hairs,
and soon l realized that while the
brushing had no effect upon the long
hair it effectually killed the new
growth, and l decided to stop.
"Since then 1 have used nothing but
a very coarse comb. Every morning
I go over the hair thoroughly and care
fully, removing every snarl until 1t Is
as free and flowing as water. Then
braid 1t and coil it into varied coiffures
about my head. | never used cos

Gladstone.

Mr.. Gladstone is, of course, like But
Ter, i'll his relation to philosophy, tho.
ologian first of all. Indeed it would not
be difficult to maintain that he is more
of scholastic than Butler. A curious
coincidence with the exact position taken
up by those who are now trying to re-
vive the doctrine of Aquinas may be
found in a note on Buffers remark that
lit is rs easy to conceive that we may
exist out of bodies as in them. !" "This,"
Mr.. Gladstone says, "appears hazard

the spirits in Dante, who, though they
cast no shadow are absolutely visible
in shapes, he goes ON to say: Com

in the N. L. to be in bodies. " This is
precisely the position taken up by Neo-
scholastics against what they regard as
the error of Platonism.
Separation from the body, instead of
being simply u release of the soul from
its bondage to matter, is an imperfect
kind of existence, inadequate to tho
needs of the soul till it is able to re-
sumo body. To tho freer speculations

about the origin of moral evil, is thus

three accomplished women who are
largely responsible for 1.-The Wares of

the few women entitled to write in the
first person, since it is her personality
that lends such charm to her work.
Curiously enough, the other two wom-

wife of the artist and etcher and niece
of Charles G.. Leland (Hans Breitman).
She was Philadelphia girl She writes

and originally came from Indianapolis.
Her father, the Rev. J. G. Fletcher,
was noted traveller and lecturer. Her
mother is now the wife of Eugene Ben
son, the artist. Her first novel, "Kis-
met" will be well remembered. "Mi-

"The Barber of Seville, the famous
opera of Rossini, was produced for the
first time on Feb. 16, 1916. According
to the Italian law, which fixes the dura-
tion of the right of ownership for dramat-
ic works at so years, Rossini's s master
piece would have become public proper
ty few weeks ago. But in Italy no op-
era is more popular than "The Barber, "

constitute almost the whole income of

A Doubtful Compliment.

Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts
was up at the capitol the other day, and
his presence recalled to the mind of n
good Episcopalian senator story which
the bishop told on himself. AT the time
of the story the bishop was dean of the
seminary at Cambridge.
Phillips Brooks had just been elected
bishop and had accepted, when one fine
morning President Eliot of Harvard met
Dean Lawrence on the street.
"The church has made the greatest
mistake of lifetime," said the presi-
dent to the dean. Brooks was the pivot
around which we revolved in Boston.
Now you have spread him out all over
Massachusetts l tell You is mistake,
a great mistake Any one would do for

Time rolled ON, and death claimed
Bishop Brooks, and later Dean Lawrence
was chosen his successor. A few days
after he again met President Eliot, and
the latter was most warm in his con-
gratulations.

TROLLEY CARS IN ROME.
How They Are Equipped to Mount the
Hills of the Eternal City.

Hills of the Eternal City.
The Eternal City, Rome of Caesar,
Rome of Peter" has been invaded
again, this time by the trolley Car. The
road connects the main railway station
with the center of the city. 1t starts
from the Piazza San Silvestro and goes
up the Via di Capo de Case and then
through the Ludovisian quarter to the
Piazza di Termini. 1t is double track
and is nearly two miles long.
The power station is located on the
slope of the Sabine hills, and the elec-
tricity is generated from turbines placed
in the waterfalls about IS miles out of
the city. Power is conveyed to the city
by four large cables that run into
transformer house near the Porta Pia.
The cars, like all stock on European
trolley lines, are model vehicles. They
are flooded with light at night, and in
stead of signaling the conductor when
one wants to stop all he has to do is to
press button on the seat behind him.
Some Of the hills on the line are so
steep that special brakes are necessary.
Both hand and foot brakes are used, one
acting on the wheels directly and the
other on the rails. In addition there is
an electric emergency brake, which will
stop the car in few yards, even when
going quickly down hill. The principle
of it consists in short circuitipg the mo-
tors, which are then driven as dynamos
by the momentum of the car, which is
thus rapidly stopped.

overhead wires and equipped the cars
