SYNDICATE LETTER PLAN FAILED

Ruse OF Lot oil Lazy FOLLOWS IS Ex-
posed.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
In one of the big offices of the city
where many men are employed the dis
consulate fellows have evolved a brilliant
scheme in the way of labor-saving let
ter-writing device. During the vacation
season the wives and families Of about
fifteen of these men went away to
various points in Michigan and the East
to visit for month or so, leaving them
to battle alone with the cold. cruel world
and the world is especially cruel to a
man whose wife is out of town.
OF course all these devoted wives eX-
pacted letter at least once a week CIV
ing the minutest details of hubbys COM
ings and goings. whom he saw and what
they said: what he was doing with all
his money, just the exact degree OF lone
someness he felt, how the birds and flow
ers at the house were doing and all and
singular the themes that interest a wo-
man who has forsaken her nest for a brief
respite from household cares. Some of
the women-those who had not been long
married--eXpected letter every day, or
al the very outside three times a week
Now. this involved a considerable
amount of labor. so these men held an in
formal convention and decided to write a
syndicate letter to their wives. They
cast lots to see who should write the first
letter and after that the duty rotated
until all had an opportunity. Fifteen
sheets of what is known to newspaper
men as "himsy" We're manifolded on a
typewriter and the writer threw in all
the loving terms he could, lodging the
details by giving few generalities about
the conditions at the various houses.
Then copy of the letter was mailed to
each of the wives. But the brilliant
scheme was destined to be short-lived,

and came home unexpectedly 1t is not
known what they said, but it was noticed
that some of the men who had entered
into the plan with great gusto were not
nearly SO enthusiastic about it after a
brief interview with their wives.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

Conda.

1t VIII Not BE Held This Year in Ana
conda.
There will probably be no annual
teachers institute meeting this year in
Deer Lodge county. owing to the recent
decision of the supreme court in regard
to special school levy taxes. The meeting
was to have been held early next month,
but yesterday Miss Helena Gleeson. the
county superintendent of schools, an
nounced that the meeting had been post
poned. Miss Gleeson wrote to Mr. Garlic
ton. the state superintendent of instruc-
ton, yesterday informing him that, ow-
ing to the decision of the supreme court
the meeting could not be held. The meet
ing would last a week and the school
term is of such short duration that it is
inadVisable to give the children weeks
holiday.
In regard to the decision of the supreme
court, Miss Gleeson said:
There Is not much talk among the
teachers in the county over the decision
Out of &c school districts in the county
four are affected. These are Anaconda,
Deer Lodge. Stuart and Quinland, The
other 80 districts had no special fax levy.

MUD is A NUISANCE.
Passing Horses Sling 1t All Over Every
holv


This mud is certainly holy fright Ev-
erybody is Disguised with it, and here the
soldiers are coming home the day after
tomorrow. too. How in the world Street
Commissioner Shovln is going to have
his streets dry by Tuesday is too big a
guess for anybody to tackle but, then.
people know that Street Commissioner
Shovlins tands in with the weather man,
and may be he can induce that capricious
gentleman to haul down his rain and
snow figs and hoist the warm weather en-
blem.
Anyhow. whether Street Commissioner
Shovlin stands in with the weather man,
or not, the people Of Anaconda certainly
expect him to put forth the best he has
and make the streets little bit dry any
way. The people don't want their soldier
boys to sloD around in the mud. They
have had enough mud in the Philippines.
Neither do they want their school chill
dren to paddle about with gum boots on.
And there are lot of other things they
don't want. and for those reasons Street
Commissioner Shovlin had better fix 1t up
with the weather man and have some-
thing done about the weather from now
until Tuesday.
In connection with this mud proposition,
there Is one nuisance which obtains in
Anaconda that ought to be abated. That
is the fast driving over the street cross
ings and the approaches thereto. At the
intersection of Park avenue and Main
street the whole territory is one vast sea
of Shiny, sticky. 1S-karat mud. Thousands
Of ladies and children. and men, too, for
that matter cross those streets contnu-
ously. At the same time delivery wag-
ons, trucks, hacks and buggies are con-
stantly passing to and fro. Now it is
a well-known fact that a city-bred horse
has the capability of singing mud in such
a way that the most oratorical political
speaker might envy. and when the city
bred horse and the lady with n baby car
riage approach the same street crossing
at the same time somebody is going to be
covered with mud, and it won't be the
horse, either.
There have been numerous complaints
about this nuisance ever since the mud
has been bad, and yesterday capped the
climax. Half the people who made use
of the crossings got such mud bath as
would lay the German article in the
shade The nuisance could be easily rem
eded by the application on the part of the
driver of the principle that even a Pc
destrian has some rights in this world
Drivers would lose but little time by cross
ing intersecting streets, especially those
where there is much foot traffic at
walk. 1t would certainly do away with
monstrous lot of profanity.

"lN OLD KENTUCKY. 7"
1t Was Well Received at the Margaret
Last Night.

A large and appreciative audience
was present at the Margaret last night
at the presentation of In Old Ken
lucky" and this famous play scored
decided hit. The characters are inter
preted by good actors and actresses,
Pierce Kingsley being especially strong
in the role of Joe Lorey, young
moonshiner in love with Madge." Miss
Elsa Ryan In the part of 'Madge' was
excellent, her equal in that part never
having been seen in Anaconda before.
The scenery is beautiful and the race
track scene is as perfect as ever seen
here. The great race scene was very
realistic, presenting all the environ
ments of a race track on the day of
the running of a great event.
Miss Elsa Ryan is a cousin Of Dick
Butler, deputy city clerk of Butte.
While in Butte she will be the guest
of Mrs. Lulu Largely and her cousin
Miss Anna Butler. Mr.. Butler and
Mrs. Largely came down to see the per-
Torrance last night and to take Miss
Ryan back with them.
