Here's "a Novelty.

Some men are as particular about
their clothing as the fussiest of women.
They object to anything being folded or
pressed down by the weight of other
clothing. They do not like to have all
of their clothing hung in the closet by
wire hangers. Such a man recently
had clothes case made to order, says
the New York Herald. His tailor fur
nished the proper measurements of all
of his clothing to the cabinet maker
who made it. This case had to be long
enough to contain his winter coat, if he
should take a notion to keep it in a
sliding section, and other compartments
were made to fit other articles. There
was no deep drawer-everything was
sliding shelf, with just enough room
for one article, and partitioned off to
fit. The shirt slide had three partitions,
so that they could not help lying in
order. This allowed of the shirts being
drawn out one at a time. The slides
were all shallow, about three inches
deep. There were special places for
article of underwear, cuffs, collars
neckties and hose, and jewel and toilet
article compartments. There was big
front board, which opened down like
the lid of desk and formed a shelf,
on which things could be laid and sort
ed out preparatory to being placed in
their proper receptacle.

IT MUST Be GUARDED
The Montana Fruit Industry
Making Great Progress.
IN SUPPORT OF BANDMANN
The Law Relative to the Insect Pests
Must Be Rigidly Enforced-Mon-
tana Apple a World
Beaten.

Missoula, Aug. 27.-The Rocky Noun
tain Husbandman, the Eastern Mon
tana agricultural paper, takes the fol-
lowing view of the San Jose scale con-
troversy, which will be cordially in
dorsed by all farmers of this part of
the state:
LAS will be seen from information
published elsewhere in this issue, Hor-
ticultural Commissioner Daniel E.
Bandmann is taking the bull by the
horn in his district in regard to the
destruction of infected fruit, and we
trust the other members of the board
may be equally diligent. When the
matter of the destruction of infected
tres and fruits was first discussed i'm
the horticultural meetings of the state,
many thought it impractical for the
reason that over two-thirds of the APP
Piles shipped into the state are infected
by the Goblin moth and that an en-
barge on this fruit would work a hard
ship on the consumer and that this
would be unfair until the fruit produc
ton of the state had reached a point
where it could in some measure supply
the demand. We remember the writer
counseled caution in this matter, but
after an extensive conference with deal
ers it was agreed that the present law
would be equitable in this regard and
most dealers favored so great anyhow
was the demand that the bill was
unanimously recommended by the COM
mittee and having been enacted into
law the only thing that will test its
efficiency and euuftability 1t it's rigid
enforcement. Our statutes have
numerous laws protecting its live stock
and though the horticultural bill may
appear to work a hardship on some in
its inception. it will in the end prove a
great thing for the state. Montana is
great fruitgrowing state. The Mon
tana apple especially is world beater
and we cannot afford to allow careless
dealers to endanger the future of an in
dustry of such great promise. The time
is not distant when our apple orchards
will be everywhere on either side of the
great backbone of the continent just as
soon as we descend the slope far enough
for the fruit crop to be safe. The trees
of course will grow almost everywhere,
but the eastern and western extremes
of the state are rapidly becoming
studded with orchards and an interest
so sacred to our people must be scrupu-
lousy guarded and the authorities must
stand by Mr.. Bandmann in his efforts
to enforce the law"

PROBABLY THE MAN.
Crawford Shows knowledge of Military
Affairs

Missoula, Aug. 27-Lew Crawford,
alias T. j. Hogan, the alleged deserter
from the cavalry regiment at Wallace.
is still in the county Jail here. Ser
geant Coleman of Crawford's regiment
and Sheriff Sutherland of Shoshone
county came over from Wallace to-day
and will take the man back with them
tomorrow. There is no doubt that the
man under arrest is Crawford, though
he still insists that he has never been
in the army and that his name is Ho-
gan. The tattoo marks on his arm and
a scar on his face are sufficient proof
of his identity and his conduct since
his arrest removes all doubt if any ex-
listed. He is extremely nervous and
seems to realize that he is in a bad box.
When he asked Deputy Sheriff Gar
rity why he was arrested and was told
that he was charged with desertion,
his response was: why, they can't
arrest me for desertion inside of 10 days.
am not deserter till that time
This at least showed his familiarity
with the army regulation which lists
missing man as absent without leave"
until 10 days have expired, when he
becomes a deserter.
Sergeant Coleman. in speaking of this
matter tonight said: Il cannot under
stand why Crawford deserted He is in
a bad position, certainly, and has lost
an opportunity to make a great record
for himself. After the plot for the es-
cape of the indicted men had been made
known to him he might have disclosed
it. This was certainly his duty and it
would have advanced him. No, we
need no requisition. This is a military
matter and we have right to seize the
man anywhere in the United States. I
have not talked with Crawford yet and
will not till tomorrow. / did not think
that we would capture him so easily.
We feared that he would leave the train
before he reached Missoula and escape
into the country. Had he done this. or
had he taken the westbound train to
Spokane, we would have had difficulty
in tracing him."
Sheriff Sutherland. when asked about
the matter said: THE men who es-
capped We're military prisoners and l do
not, therefore, feel as bad over the
breakaway as l would if they had been
in my charge We are doing all We
can, though, to recapture them, but
have absolutely no clue to their hiding
place. They have dropped completely
out of sight. We believe that they are
in the hills and we will probably find
trace of them SOON

LOST HER LIFE.
Mrs. Austin Betters Thrown From a
Wagon and Killed.

wagon anu hIIleu.
Missoula, Aug. 27.-An awful acct
dent occurred this afternoon at Clinton,
in which Mrs Austin Betters lost her
life. Mrs. Betters and her three little
children were going from her ranch in
two-wheel cart to the Methodist
church to attend Sunday school. After
leaving the ranch the road runs along
side the Northern Pacific track for quite
a ways. AS she was driving along the
westbound train came along and fright
ened the horse, who ran away, throwing
the three little children out. Mrs. Bet
ters was also thrown out, but fell in be-
tween the wheel and the cart, and be-
fore the horse could be stopped her
head was frightfully mangled. She died
almost instantly. The children escaped
with few slight bruises. Her hus-
band is in attendance at the district
court as a juror and to-day had left for
Lolo to visit his old friend, j. NJ. Rock,
who has ranch there. He was notified
of his wife's awful death and came TO
the city, and, in company with Under
taker Hayes drove down to Clinton.

The People Around Plains Pleased With
His Energetic Work.

The People Around Plains Pleased With
His Energetic Work.
Missoula, Aug. &c. C. Willis is in
town from Plains. He says that the
farmers and fruitgfowers down there
indorse the work of Herr Bandmann in
all respects. They realize the import
ance of the inspection of imported fruit
and they are of the opinion that the
state board of horticulture should
strictly enforce the law.
Mr. Willis has just returned from a
trip through Washington and Oregon.
where many of the orchards are infect
ed with scale and moth. He says that
the efforts that are being made by the
orchard men there to eradicate these
pests are an unanswerable argument in
favor of Montanas keeping out, to the
fullest extent possible, any of these in
sects. orchard men down there testified
that the prices received for their fruit
are not more than one-third of what
they were when the orchards were free
from all insect pests.
Mr. Willis says further that he dis
covered on several Northern Pacific
trains fruit being sold by the train boys
which showed in a marked degree traces
of scale. This fruit is scattered all along
the line of the road and spreads the in
lection more rapidly than any other
means. He thinks that the stock of
these train boys should be carefully in
spected.

STORIES OF JUNGLE LIFE,
Consul Wildman Tells About Malay
Adventures.

Adventures.
No attempt has been made by Mr..
Wildman to hang the tales" in the
book he has recently published upon
any thread of narrative; each is COM
plete in itself, although the same char
acters appear again; the charm of Icr-
sonal experience is emphasized here
and there with legends of place if not
OF actual fiction on the part Of the
writer In a word, as Mr.. whitman
says in his preface, These stories are
the result of nine years residence and
experience on the Malayan coast-that
land of romance and adventure which
the ancients knew as the Golden Cher
sonesus and which in modern times has
been brought again into the atmosphere
of valor and performance by English
expansion and Admiral George Dewey
of the Asiatic squadron, the hero of
American achievement"
1t is hard to discover whether Mr.,
Wildman is a realist or an idealist;
possibly he is a little of both. The
story of "Bahoo's Good Tiger is re-
lated with such an air of truthful rem
iniscence that It is hard to believe it
the work of the Imagination. The story
opens in this way: 'Aboo Din's first
born, Baboo, was only years old when
he had his famous adventure with the
tiger he had found sleeping in the hot
lallang grass within the distance of
child's voice from Aboo Din's bun
galow"
Thus at the very beginning the reader
feels the breath of the atmosphere of
kipling's famous child of the jungle
and turns from page to page in eager
anticipation. Baboo was always con-
irving to get himself lost His at
tempts were usually marked with sig
nal success. Sometimes he was no

of the compound hedge or the COOL
