GREAT CHANGE IN MONTANA
Prosperity Has Brought Democrats
to Favor tion--senator
Carter VIII surely lie Returned.

Fl. s. Lang, a wealthy hardware mer-
chant OF Helena, Mont. is a guest of the
Butler. Twenty years ago he located In
that state and for the first time since is
now outside of its boundaries Mr. Lang
is stanch Republican and has taken an
active part In Montana politics
I'VE all deplore the Clark investiga-
tion." he said yesterday land for the
good Of the state would rather that II had
not occurred, The Republican party has
not been implicated and the general be-
lief is that Clark will retain his seat in
the senate.
There has been a big change in the
political sentiment In Montana within the
past four years. In 1896 the state was for
Bryan In almost every county. Prosper
ity has worked the change. There never
was time when the state enjoyed better
times, and speaking generally. the people
are satisfied with the administration.
THE effect OF this will he that Montana
may change its political complexion from
the last national campaign. There IL little
doubt but that Senator Carter VIII be re-
turned, Republicans and Democrats are
united that he has been Of more genuine
WORTH TO Montana than any other man
who0has occupied the position. His record
during his present term Is one Of which
all Montana people are proud"

The UnIucLiness of Lilac.
From The London Express.

There are many superstitious fancies
about the flowers that blossom in May.
The rroverbial unuckiness of this
month has descended on three or four
generations of flowers that flourish in
Msytime
A branch of blackthorn. a sprig of
May, and a bunch of lilac form trio of
unlucky flowers.
Blackthorn and May are said to pro-
duce illness. But lilac is the flower which
is fatal to love affairs.
Though the scent is so sweet and lilac
lii It's so fresh and becoming. country gitls
rarely wear this flower as buttonhole
she who wears lilac will never wear
a wedding ring" runs an old proverb
A boutonniere of lilac is paid for dearly
by solitary spinsterhood
The village maiden les the lilac bush
severely alone.
For the same ason rustic wisewom n
with manageable daughters-never al
low a jug of the sweet-smelling blossom
inside the horse.
They decorate the outside windowsill
with it. But there's no love luck about
the house" which contains lilac.
Londoners are not superstitious and
they eather the lilac which grow so pro-
fusedly in city and suburban gardens
with a lightsome ignorance Of the unuck-
mess in love this charming flower con-
fers.
Village people cannot understand why
Clever London folk" know nothing of
the traditions Of ill-luck about the lila.
To give your sweetheart a sprig of this
flower is a sure way TO break the engage
ment White lilac is said not to be so un-
lucky in affairs of the heart as the
mauVe.
But neither should be presented to a
lover. 1t is SUPP osed TO prove as fatal
- love as an opal ring. 1t will comfort
the wearers Of lilac milinery-and what is
more lovely than a toaue of these white
and purple blossoms?-to know love
laughs at artificial lilac.
II is only the real tree-grown flower
that comes between a lover and his
lass.
Stony-hesrted bachelors have been
known to sport a lilac buttonhole as a
charm against feminine blandishments.
