A Frosty Candidate.

A few night ago republican
candidate put on some sporty clothes
and wandered around town, going up
against numerous slot machines. In
one resort he fingered so long turn
ng a stream of shining nickels into
machine trying 20 get the green
star that a great crowd of the rank
and file gathered, and as the nickels
vanished one by one into the ma
chine they concluded that the candi-
date was extremely frosty for not
once did he 'thaw." The fact that
he had money alone attracted at
tention, but when he at last wearied
of the game and walked out without
saying a ting, hard working rail
roader was heard to say: "Ha, amt
he an ice cream freezer? Ice is
warm along side a frosty thing like
him. The price of 100 beers put in
that hole and we not even given a
pleasant look"

4 Splendid Meetina.

The banner political meeting of the
campaign was held last evening by
the Independent Democrats at Lake
side school house in Broken pre-
cinct. The house was filled to over
flowing, apparently every man,
woman and child of the entire neigh
borhood for miles around being pres
ent, and every one of them seemed
to be an enthusiastic Independent
Democrat. Fred Whiteside was the
speaker Of the evening, and the audi
ence was in sympathy with the
cause The ladies of Lakeside show
ed their interest and enthusiasm by
providing a bountiful lunch with fra
grant coffee which was partaken of
and enjoyed by all. The entertain
ment was added to materially by the
production of Bryan and Stevenson's
speeches and campaign songs on the
new grand monograph.

Are the clark Registration Tactics
Being Repeated Here?
Owing to the unusual number of
strangers who have arrived in the
city during the past week an extra
police officer has been put on the night
force. An officer who is in position
to know about how many new arri-
walls there have been, said that during
Friday and Saturday at least two
hundred strange men arrived over the
Great Northern. ''The hotels have
been crowded and many are COM
PEELED to occupy chairs in different
resorts about town for sleep, owing
to the fact that they could not secure
lodging. What these men are doing
here at this time is mystery and as
great number of the arrivals have
gone into the country, many are won
dering if there is a general attempt
to colonize in this country. The police
have been on the lookout for crooks,
among the arrivals, and it is thought
that number of shady characters
have been spotted.

ALL HALLOWEEN,
Wednesday Night When COLLINS and
Ghosts Walk.

kalispell is getting ready for the
observance of All Halloween to-mor-
row night. A number of announce
ments have already peen made of
numerous social functions and the
young people especially anticipate a
jolly evening listening to stories told
in the glimmering light from Jack
O'Lantern.
Since the inauguration OF Halloween
night as celebration the diversity
of games and amusemen,s appropriate
to the evening has covered a wide
field. A few of these old games,
such as bobbing for apples, have be-
come standard forms OF entertain
ment for Halloween night, and many
young folks think that they really
would destroy the celebration were they
to introduce an innovation The old
Jack O'Lantern is the friend OF long
ago on this night and it is not at all
out of place to have Mr.. Jack O'Lan-
terms "innards" served as pie for
refreshments after the merry games.

Mrs. Rateliff sat up till daybreak with
shotgun on one knee, and a restless
baby on the other, and remarked after
wards that she didn't sleep half the
night.
Ronald watched her as she stood like
an Amazon in the doorway and gave
Then she came back to him.
'Well reckon you had obleeged to
do it, as she looked into the room on
the right at the little box cradle ''Mr.
Ratcliff lowed you an sgd would have
taste o. one another's gore fore long:
he lowed he'd never seed a man with
yore reckless nerve, an that Hart never
would sleep till he'd bucked ag'in it,

husband); "you are wanted-that's
ALI" She stood in the doorway and
waved her hands. ST want i'm to see

A moment later the sheriff came into
the passage painting and perspiring.
''Wel1, 1 lowed the niggers had riz, I"
he laughed.
Briefly Ronald explained what he had
come for and Ratcliff pulled his long
brown beard thoughtfully. He would
have made joke if he were at funeral
and the joke had been at the expense
of the corpse.

He would have comforted her If he
could, but there was nothing in his
mind to say. The awful realization was
stealing back upon him that in killing
Sgd Hart he had blighted his whole fu-
ture, covered the sun of his hopes with
human blood. They drove out into an
open space where cotton-fields
stretched out on one side. Behind them
now doomed the white facade of earn
leigh. A score of negroes were picking
cotton beyond the rail fence, but they
did not look up. Ronald was congratu-
lating himself on this, knowing that
the sheriff lived only little further on,
but his elation on this score was short
of life, for just then a horseman ap-
peared in front of them. It was Capt.
Wrinkle, riding like an Englishman, ris-
ing and falling in his stirrups. AS his
trotting horse brought him swiftly
nearer he lifted his hat and bowed to
Evelyn. Evidently he had recognized
Ronald and he showed much surprise.
Looking back our hero saw that he had
refined his horse in and was staring
after them in bewildered fashion.
Evelyn gave her companion a COM
prehensive glance. "Never mind" she
said, "he'll tell everybody he knows
that he has seen us together, but you
and have other things to think about.
Will my love console you at all?"
''More than anything in the world"
swell, remember" they are now in
sight of the sheriff's house, a five
roomed erection with porch over
which clambered a wealth of vines,
remember that shall be thinking of
you every minute
THANK you for that" he said, and
added: 81 might as well get out here
and walk up to the house."
Her only answer was to whip up the
pony; her face was pinched by pain as
she drew up at the gate in front of the
house. He got out.
"Good-by," he said.
She held out her hand.
"Good-by," she echoed, and as he took
her hand he felt her quivering fingers
tighten round his own. 81 am going to
pray for you night and day." she said.
And then she turned her pony and drove
slowly homeward. AS he was entering
the gate, he saw her stop and look
back; then she signaled him to come to
her. Obeying, he found her face wet
with tears.
els there nothing I can do for you?"
she questioned.
He reflected, and then:
eff you should happen to meet David
on your way back. please tell him what
have done, and that I came to the
sheriff.
81 wish it were something harder"
she said, pressing her handkerchief to
her twitching lips. ooh, it is so awful
there is so little to hope for-you see
you are so despondent!"
He could not deny this last charge;
her very words seemed to add weight

THE FORCE OF HABIT.
With an Illustration of How Com
pletely One Habit May Sup
plant Another.

"Habit is curious thing" said Mr..
Joggleton, <sbut the completeness
with which one habit can be sup
planted by another seems more GU
rious still.
81 had a chair that had used for
years, and which, was firmly con-
vinced, was by long odds the most
comfortable chair ever made. After
breakfast, when L read the paper,
1 used to sit in that chair, and after
dinner at night I settled down into it,
with a cigar, in peace and happiness
and thought there never was a chair
that combined so many good points
as to height and pitch of seat and
slope of back and all that; I had
never seen a chair that suited me SO
we'll.
"But one day this chair was tipped
over, or something or other happened
to it don't know what-but some
thing so serious that it was put out
of commission. With our usual con-
sentative slowness, we put off from
day to day and from week to week
getting that chair repaired, and, as a
matter of fact. it was two or three
years before we had it fixed up and
brought into use again. Meanwhile,
I had singled out another chair which
I came commonly to occupy. This
didn't begin to be, at first, so COM
Portable as the old one had been, but
gradually it's Objectionable points dis
appeared, and I'm blessed if it didn't
begin to develop good points that L
had never suspected in it, and came
| at last to look upon it as a very COM
Portable sort of a chair, indeed. But
at last the old chair, the good old
chair, was fixed up again and brought
back into use, and the day it appeared
1 looked forward to settling down in
it at night with the old-time comfort.
"But when, with all those pleasant
anticipations, came to sit in it again
1 did not find the pleasure I had eX-
pected; it was too high, or too low,
or the seat sloped too much, or some
thing-I don't know what; IT wasn't
as it used to be-to me. I tried it
once or twice more after that and
then gave it up and went back to the
new chair. My new habit had become
firmly fixed. I liked the new chair
better, and now, as I settled down
in it, it's good points were at once
emphasized and softened, and round
ed into completeness, and I accepted
it in full as the chair of satisfying
comfort and wondered as I looked
across at the other what ever could
have seen in it that made me like it
so much.

ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Ono day at a time! That's all It can be;
No faster than that is the hardest fate;
And days have their limits, however we
Begin them too early and stretch them
late.
One day at a time! Every heart that aches
Knows only too well how long that can
seem;
But it's never to-day which the spirit
breaks;
It's the .darkened future without a
CLEAN.
One day at a timei A burden too great
To be borne for two can be borne for one:
Who knows what will enter to-morrow's
gate?-
While yet we are speaking all may be
done.
One day at timei-but single day, -
Whatever its load, whatever its length:
And there's a bit of precious Scripture to
say
That according to each shall be his
strength.
One day at time!
It's wholesome rhyme
A good one to live by:
A day at a time.

to his gloom. Lifting his hat, he
turned away.
There was an open passage between
the two front rooms of the sheriff S
house, and at a washtub, on a little
back porch, battling stick in hand, he
saw Mrs. Ratcliff. She was about 80
years of age, but might easily have
proved that she was third older, if
her appearance had been taken as testi-
mony.
Ronald raped on the door-facing to
attract her attention, and when she
looked up he asked her if her husband
was at home.
''He was jest this minute" she said,
coming forward and wiping her hands
| on her apron. "He took his gun jest
now and went into the strip of woods
down thar at the foot O. the field. Is it
anything Important"
II came to turn myself over to him,
| Mrs. Ratcliff; if you could send for
him. perhaps he would like for you to
do it,"
81 could blow the dinner horn," she
| betrayed no surprise, if she felt any,
over his announcement. cit might
| wake the baby, but L reckon I could
quiet it down ag'in.'
She gave him a seat in the passage
and took his hat and laid it, according
to rules of hospitality, on her bed in
the room on the left. Then she reached
up for the cows horn, which hung on a
nail on the porch.
"Have you got yoreself in trouble,
Mr.. Fanshaw ?" she asked, as she raised
the horn to her lips.
1--WE killed Sydney Hart, Mrs. Rat
Cliff" He gave this explanation after
| a slight hesitation, for he feared that
being a woman and alone with him it
might upset her nerves.
You don't say" she calculated;
well, III be switched"
She did not seem more surprised than
ii he had told her that he had had a
tooth extracted, and then he remem-
bered that she had been Ratcliff's COM
panion in many a rough experience.
One night when he was taking three
desperadoes to Jail and had stopped at
home for refreshments, he found that
the mountain streams ahead were so
much swollen by recent rains that he
could not go on, and there was nothing
