It is no exaggeration to say that Mr..

the dramatic world as a portrayer of
Irish character, and it Is safe to say
there are few If any who will not avail
themselves of this opportunity to spend

quaint, rollicking, pathetic scenes with
which this story of Irish life abounds.

w. A. Clark Jr.'s Kindness.

The announcement Of the marriage of
w. A. Clark. Jr.. son of the United
States senator, to take place on July II,
to Miss Mabel Foster of Butte. Mont,
has brought out number of interest
ing stories Of the life of the unassuming
young millionaire when a student at the
University of Virginia and the delicate
way he had of sharing his worldly goods
with those less fortunate than himself.
During part of his school days at the
university young Clark went into CO.
operative housekeeping with some of his
fellow students, and the rest OF the time
was spent in the house of southern
gentlewoman, a sDinster. an orphaned
daughter Of one Of the former professors
of the university. While In this house
young Clark found that his accommo-
dating landlady was In pretty tight
place financially and unless. some good
fairy took the matter IN hand the an
ccstral home would pass into other
hands, under foreclosure of mortgage.
To young Clark tie amount required
| to save tina house was mere nothing
/ but to one reduced to the extreme OF
| keeping boarders.- and students at that
| the matter was a pret..- serious one
| When the time for the foreclosure ar
rived, instead of the humiliating notice
expected, the patient. kindly woman re-
| ceived clear title to her dear old home

Plenty of Room in the West.

A study of the census reports, so far
as they have been received, reveals the
fact that as nation America is far
from a crowded one. Alaska seems to
be the banner territory, so far as the
isolation of population is concerned,
there being about ten square miles for
every inhabitant.
Montana, Idaho, Arizona and New
Mexica have about a square mile of
elbow room for every inhabitant within
their confines while the state of Wyom-
ing could furnish a fraction over a
square mile.
The most densely populated state In
the Union is Rhode Island. In that state
407 people to the square mile Is report
ed. but the people seem to be enjoying
themselvs and no complaint Of over
crowding has been heard. In Massachu-

Funds for the schools.

Under a law passed by the seventh
legislative assembly. funds for the sup
port of public schools throughout Mon
tana will have to be provided In most
cases by a special tax levy. Under the
old law, the board Of county commits
sioners made a tax levy to replenish the
general school fund, which was appor-
toned among the districts according to
the number Of school children returned
by their respective clerks, and with but
few exceptions the several schools were
maintained by these funds and the
occasional revenues derived from the
sale or lease Of school lands by the state.
The new law. however, provides that
the general tax levy for school pur-
poses shall not exceed two mills, which
in most counties will not raise suff1-
Gent revenue for the purpose indicated
In Choteau county the school fund was
given a tax levy of ~ mills last year,
and the apportionment of the amount
thus raised was in most cases barely
sufficient for the needs OF the various
| districts. Under a general levy OF two
mills. the school revenues will be less
| than two-thirds the amount available
| last year.
