The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1900-11-10

There cannot be much doubt that
the courthouse proposition has been
carried handsomely, although many
voters did not take the trouble to
express their wishes in the matter.
There has been some talk thar the
proposition would be defeated for the
reason that it has not received a ma
jority of all the votes cast, meaning
all the votes cast for any of the can
didates on the several county tickets.
It appears to be plain that it was not
the intention of the legislature to re-
quire majority of all the votes cast
at the election but merely a majority
of all the votes cast for or against
the bonds. Any other construction
of the law would be manifestly alb
surd. So it is entirely likely that by
this time next year. Flathead county
will have creditable courthouse
and Jail.

BRAIN FEVER AND SWOONS,
cld-Time NoveIists' Favorite Attic
tons Seldom Heard of Now.

Now that the readers have become
SO confoundedly exacting in matters
OF technical detail" said a New
Orleans physician who confesses to
weakness for fiction, "our modern
novel writer's are deprived of a good
deal of material that was used with
great effect by their predecessors
This is particularly true Of Il little
catalogue of diseases that figure con-
splciously in what we are accustomed
to refer to as standard fiction
meaning the fiction that was admired
by our fathers and grandfathers, and
that now comes in sets especial,
suitable for Christmas presents.
AT the head of the list was IA
mysterious malady known as brain
fever Brain fever was a great
favorite with the early novelist, and
has kept many plot from getting
into tight snarl. 1t was supposed
to result from any severe mental
strain, and might be brought on by
terror, joy, remorse, overwork, sus-
pense, rage or grief. So you see Low
handy it was. It could strike down
the villain, temporarily disable the
heroine or excite ones sympathy foc
the poor but virtuOuS hero.
The old-time standard novels will
average about three cases of brain
fever to the volume. The author
never went into any details, but
generally announced the malady as
telling climax to a chapter-for
example: He was too late; Grace
was already tossing In the delirium
OF brain fever; or, Next morning the
scoundrel awoke raving; he had brain
fever The disease is so we'll estab-
listed in fiction that many people still
believe that it occurs in real life
which. by the way, is fine tribute
to genius.
Another valuable property effect
OF the Old-time novelist was swoon-
ing. You will find the characters
swoonng all through the famous
romances of fifty years ago, and the
typical heroine of a good rafting tale

lis of the Bourbons, which it holds
in it's paw. Thorwaldsen was the
sculptor, and the Lion of
Lucerne is monument to
the Swiss guard which persisted at
Paris, Aug 10, 1892, in defense of the
Tuileries. Louis XVI had forbidden
the Swiss guard to fire upon the mob,
but the 900 men composing it dared
to do SO in defense of the palace.
The Infatuated mob massacred every
one of them. Upon the shield which
the lion holds are the names of the
brave men who were officers of the
guard.
