Cycling and Happiness.

Have you never noticed the vast
change that comes over woman who
is inclined to be morose and miserable
after a wise, kind, friend has persuaded
her to ride wheel? If you have not,
says The Cycling World, you can do no
kinder deed for your friend or neighbor
who is blue and gloomy than to con-
vince her that cycling will surely bring
her happiness OF course every little
hindrance in the way of her learning
will sink her into the depths of despair,
but with your judicious help these OBJ
stacles may be successfully overcome
and she may blossom into the cheeriest
little woman among your acquaint-
ances. The great enemy of womankind,
brought on by her monotonous, stay at
home existence, that lacks fresh air,
exercise and change of scene, is this
gloominess that assails nearly every wo-
man who does not ride wheel A cy-
cling girl may bring out her wheel and
ride away from an "indigo fit, Z" but for
the woman who cannot do that there is
no escape. A CHEEKY woman makes a
happy home and family. A cross wo-
man is not only unhappy herself, but no
one else in the home can be quite COM
Portable and at ease.

Golf Balls.

Golf balls are to very considerable
extent imported. They usually retail at
SO dozen and, it is said cost So go per
dozen on arrival here and ON payment
of the duty. Special machinery is re-
quired to make the golf ball, and it is
likely that American enterprise will
soon cut in and secure this market,
which is worth more than it appears to
be at an offhand glance. "Balls may be
manufactured here for the market, "
says w. T. Dale, with fair profit,
provided that the right kind of gutta
percha is used. There are several kinds
of gutta percha The kind usually used
is called pernang. There is cheaper,
red colored kind called Manila. Both
are sold in London in large quantities.
The gutta percha is put through a
process for abstracting the rosin, known
in the different golf ball factories in
England as tushler This tushler is used
in rubber compositions, and is, there
fore, not counted as shrinkage After
the rosin is distracted the gutta percha
is washed in masticator, which is a
very heavy machine with huted roller.

1t is becoming more and more evident
that golf links is now sine qua non
of summer resort life, and it is little
curious to see how those places which
have hitherto lacked facilities for the
game are stringing into line in order to
attract next seasons visitors. 1t is no
exaggeration to say that scores of
charming and attractive places have
been passed by in the last few summers
simply because they offered no means of
indulging in the present popular pas
time, and, arbitrary as it may seem, golf
has had more to do with popularizing
some of the newer resorts than all other
causes put together. New York Com

For These Men
Fate Decreed a
Soldiers Grave

The effort to teach the Filipinos that
the authority of the United States gov
eminent must be recognized has been
made at heavy cost IN human life.
Montana contributed her full share of
volunteers to the sacrifice necessarily
a part Of the lesson. Twenty mine
brave Montana boys occupy graves in
the Philippines. The remains Of six
others who were buried there have
since been disinterred and shipped to
the United States for burial. The Off
cial record, obtained through the cour-
tesy of Adjutant Knowlton, gives the
date of burial, the place and the num-
Der of the grave, as compiled by Ser
geant Major Heilig. The bodies OF
John c. Adams, Lieutenant French,
w. J. Mclean, Daniel McElliott, Will
lam G. O'Leary and Cary A. Saylor
have been shipped to the United
States.
While they live, the Montana boys
will remember some of the days spent
in their Philippine campaign. The
forces were not cut down, as is often
the case in battle, under some appall-
ing onset, but they were the constant
victims of concealed foe on the alert
always to pick them off the instant
they exposed themselves to view.
In the fighting before Caloocan and
the capture of that place on February
10, the Montanans lost three killed and
33 wounded; and the operations be-
tween Caloocan and Malabon later in
that month added four more to the kill
ed and Is to the list of the wounded.
When MacArthur's advance on Ma,
lolos began on March "a the Montana
men were still on the extreme left OF
the American line, and in the three
days days that followed in clearing the
enemy out from Malabon to Palo they
lost five killed and % wounded. From
that time on to the capture OF San
Fernando, May 6, the returns from cv-

They Were Brave Soldiers.

In the roster of the Montana troops
is found a good representation of the
Jewish race, and they are brave SOL
diers. The records of William Mitschke
and David Silver. who fought with the
Anaconda companies, furnish ample
proof of that Mitschke enlisted be-
cause he felt it was his duty to an
swer his cOuntry's call He was with
his company when the general advance
was made on Polo, and, while charg-
ing the trenches, the poor fellow fell,
luortally wounded. He had been shot
through the bowels and lived but an
hour. His death was a severe shock
to his comrades, for he was generally
liked. David Silver, who also fell
victim to the treacherous Filipino, had
a premonition that he was to be killed.

WHERE FIRST MONTANA CHARTERED

Manila region was not the serious total
that the public, having Cuban expert
ences in mind, had been led to fear.
According to all appearances, the men
return from the ISLANDS not much the
worse physically so far as exposure
in an untried climate is concerned.
The public has not forgotten the
awful harvest of death among the vol
unteers who saw service in the cam
paign on the island of Cuba Even in
the camps along our own southern
shore, among men who never saw
actual service in Cuba, the deathroll
reached an ominous total. There was
fear that this experience would be re-
peated on Philippine fields. Fortunately
these fears were not realized.
But, as the result of fighting, the
grim total of the dead is large; and
the best available figures are to the in
tent that, taking into account the seri-
Gus and the slight, the number of
wounded will be very nearly $780, The
records of the Montana regiment with
respect to those who persisted while in
the service have been kept with COM
mendable care; it is said that the
burials were attended with becoming
services and with tender regard, and
that the graves of those who sleep in
the far-away soil of the Philippines
were not left unmarked.

He suffered a rupture while carrying
stones for the defenses outside Manila,
but fought throughout the night and
all next day. until he had to be carried
to the hospital on stretcher where he
underwent an operation. He could not
be contented to remain inactive while
his comrades were fighting and, despite
the protests of the doctors, joined his
company, took part in the defense of
San Fernando against the general at
tack made by the Filipinos on June
16. Just before the battle commenced
he said to Corporal Schiffman: II feel
that something is going to happen me-"
During the fight he was shot through
the bowels, as was Mitschke, his liver
being literally cut in shreads. Major
Adams, who knew of the pluck that
brought Silver onto the firing line
when he ought to have been in the hos
pital, said, when he was brought in:
IF there's anychance to save this boys
life, I'll do it," The major worked over
Silver for four hours, but his wound
was too serious for human aid, and
another brave Montana boy passed
away. While he was lying upon the
opera ting table, racked with agony, his
nerve never forsook him. He asked
one to his mother and another to his
brother. The eXertion weakened him,
and soon afterward he died.

It Recalled the Time
When Other Men Marched

marched from Atlanta to the sea, were
greatly admired for their broad, free,
swinging step and certain abundance
of manly vigor in their general bearing
that was peculiarly their own. Sher-
mans men had with them some of the
characteristics by which they were al
ready known to fame, their foragers or
bummers followed each brigade with
the spoils of war, donkeys, game cocks,
goats and other odd things"
Julian Hawthorne in his history Of
the United States, in the course of an
eloquent description of the pageant,
says:
Both to the eye and to the mind
and heart, it was a spectacle of unex-
ampled grandeur and impressiveness.
These men could have marched, as they
were, to the conquest of the world; but
their thoughts We're not of ambition, or
of the seizure of power, but Of home and
of the quiet and industrious productive
life which is proper to the citizens of a
republic Yet profound difference had
been wrought in them by the war, and
in the main it was a beneficial one;
their military discipline had taught
them the meaning and uses Of discipline
and the sway of just authority in the
life of peace; lesson of peculiar value
to a great democracy, whose foible 1t Is
