MiSSoula, Oct lJ-Reference was
made in these columns the other day
of the contribution of Morris Schloss-
berg to the Dewey home fund. MT
Schlossberg has received from Treas
urer Roberts of the fund committee
pleasant letter and one of the Dewey |
souvenir receipts. The receipt bears
a handsome portrait of the admiral and
has the ordinary form of receipt ac-
knowledging the payment by Mr.. |
Schlossberg of the amount of his con-
tribution. The letter that accompanied |
the receipt is as follows: This COM
mittee acknowledges with appreciation
the receipt of your check for $52.0S, 2 |
per cent of the sales of your store dur
ing August. A souvenir for that amount
is enclosed. Your liberality is an ex
ample to your fellow citizens and an
encouragement to this committee in its
labors." Mr.. Schlossberg is proud of
the letter, as he had good cause to be.
Herman Kohn is one of those men
who learns by experience sometimes,
when he is not willing to take the ad'
vice of those who know. Herman. it
will be remembered, had some little diff
ficulty in learning to ride the bicycle,
but when he had learned, he thought
that he had it all. He needed not the
warning Of those who told him that
he would lose a leg of his pants if he
did not either wear knckerbockers or
else put on pants guards. He went
home the other night from his store AMI
absent mindedly put on one guard. if
| he had put it on the right leg it would
have been al! right, but he did not. He
put it on the left leg, and that was
not exposed to the chain. Herman rode
on in his majestic way and had no
| warning of impending doom, till he was
on the down grade of East Front street
that leads to his home. Then his wheel
| was running at least 80 miles an hour
| some say that it was making 45--and
he had in mind visions of happy dur
| ner and a comfortable siesta. His
dreams were suddenly and rudely dis
turbed, however, by the sound of tear
| ing cloth and in less time than it takes
| to tell it, one leg of his pants was mixed
up with the chain and the sprocket
wheel and his manly limb was exposed
| to the chill evening air. That is why
! Mr.. Kohn bought a new suit this
| week.
There has not been much enthusiasm
| in MissOula over the returning volun-
teers. They have all looked so sleek
| and fat and, withal, so comfortable thai
it has not been easy to work up much
| sympathy for them. While Misscula
appreciates the valorous deeds Of these
| returning soldiers, they have not
seemed to want any particular attan-
| ton. Those of them who have said
anything, have simply remarked that
| they We're tired of the fuss that has
been made over them and all that lht:'
want is to get home as quickly and
| as quietly as possible. However, lhey
have all accepted the contributions OF
cigars and such, that have been made
to them here. Joe Wood did the honors
| for the North Dakota veterans ana Pat
Cone was host for the South Dakota
boys l. G. Denny did some active cam
| paigning among the South Dakota men,
| till he suddenly recollected that they
| have no vote in this state. He has been
| kicking himself ever since because he
wasted so much time on them. All Of
| the troops have passed through Mis-
| soula-Minnesota and the two ,Oako-
| tas-have been fine looking men. They
are all young and active and the life
| of the Philippines has not, TO all APP
! pearances-had any serious effects upon
their constitutions
Frank Singer has troubles of his own
| these days. There are many careless
| people who do not keep their eyes open
| when they are travelling along Higgins
avenue and the result has been that
| many of them have either fallen over
|
| into the holes that abound along the
street. Nobody has been seriously in
| jured, but there has been considerable
| hard talk caused by the minor acct
dents that have occurred. Singer had
three damage suits, aggregating $4,000
| filed against him in three hours Friday,
| but he succeeded in compromising them
all. He is now busy lodging those WHO
| are on his trail.
| Torn clothes and bruised limbs;
| scratched faces and lame backs; these
are the emblems of service that the
football men are caring for these days
! Both the university and the town teams
are practicing in earnest these days and
are putting up good games. The sea
son of active play will soon begin ard
| Missoula is promised some good Spo-t
| before the end of the fall.
