This is one of the best and most in
structive games we know, for it teaches
the players not only how to form words,
but also how to fit them to their defini-
tions. 1t may be played at recess, in
school, or by company of boys and girls
who wish evening amusement, and it has
the advantage of requiring no special
preparation, except the writing of sew
eral lists of definitions, one list for each
of the players. These lists, OF course.
must be written in advance, and the writ

Sir Walter: A True Story.
By IZORA CHANDLER.

Sir Walter lives at Kingston on the
Hudson. and though he is a Scotch collie
and is often called Wallie for short, he
is such fayorite that whenever. he goes
out for little stroll he is greeted by
so many people, old and young. as to make
it great mercy that collies are not ex-
pected to wear hats. If they did Sir Wal
ter would be taking his off at nearly every
step of the way.
But you know that a well-bred collie
Is only expected to give a gentle wave or
two of his plumy tail, which is very easy
to do. and a pleasure besides.
Sir Walter lived very happily in a
graystone house overlooking the Hudson.
Sometimes the family belonging to him
went down to New York for the winter,
but the house was usually kept open by
couple Of servants, and Sir Walter
was fairly content.
Once the house was quite closed. But
the master took the collie to the house OF
a friend and babe him an affectionate
good-by before he went away.
Sir Walter was very lonely, but his
master had explained matters to him. The
people were very fond of him, and he was
wise enough to know that one can't have
everything as enc wishes. So he became
cheerful and took such care of the house
hold that it was very hard for members
to let him go when his own family came
up again in the spring.
Sir Walter was loyal to his own, and
fell at once into his old way of living and
of loving those belonging to him.
Early the next autumn trunks and boxes
were brought out and clothing, books,
pictures and silver began to disappear.
The place, with its furniture, had been
sold. and though he did not know it, Sir
Walter was included in the sale, for the
gentleman who was coming had taken a
great fancy to him.
The new family were expected very soon.
and the master of Sir Walter was so hur-
ried that he did not take time to explain
matters to the collie nor even to arrange
a place where he could be comfortable
until the new people were come.
So the house was closed and Sir Walters

the boat and draw the logs up on shore.
Their determined spirit shown in this
incident was in line with that of the
entire club.
The building materials were delivered
Monday morning, and the boys got to
work that afternoon after school. The
river had frozen firmly since Saturday, Sc
the silks had been found none too soon.
Ten brick piers were needed fer the foun-
dalton, and. fortunately. the bricks were
to be obtained from the ruins of the barn
which had previously been on the site

During severe storm on the Saturday
after the basketball game the river rose
considerably, and much driftwood was
cast ashore. Amos Jackson, Aleck Nc
Gregor, and Walter Gladwin went out in
Walters duck boat after the storm and
collected number of heavy square
beams, about by inches. in good con-
dition, to serve as sills for the ground
frame of the clubhouse. They were tow

WIND caused jibe, upsetting the boat

and a dozen of the fellows began TO build
the piers. The heavy sills were then laid
upon the piers and spiked together. The
boys had brought saws, hammers, planes.
chisels, mallets, etc, from home. and the
more skillful ones were entrusted with
the difficult parts of the work.
The foundation having been laid 1t was
decided to stop work for the day and
seek recreation on the ice. Most of the
boys had brought skates and shinney
sticks, and spirited game of shinney
was the result. Many of them played

team was enthusiastically approved. Rex

Think SOME ONE
SET It ON FIRE
THEORY OF lNCENDIARlSM CRED
TIED CONCERNING BURNING
OF THE HILBERT HOUSE.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.


Anaconda, Dec. 3o.-lt is now asserted
positively that the home of William ].
Hilbert, dealer in farm implements in this
city and whose place OF business is on Eas.
Park avenue, was set OH fire.
BY whom or why is a mystery that can
not be solved. The place was situated up
the canyon near the Lcvcngood ranch
about two miles from town, and the story
OF the fire appeared in the Inter Mountain
the day after it occurred. 1t was on last
Friday and the family were absent for the
purpose of spending Christmas week in the
city at the store. No fire had been in the
house since the Monday previous. Mrs. Hi.
bert and the children having come to
town on that date.
Everything was burned and the Hilbert
family only have the clothes they wear
left and there was no insurance. The loss
is estimated in excess OF $1,000.
MIR. Hilbert, so far as he knows has 10
enemy who would be likely TO set his house
OH fire, but nevertheless it is certain that
some one deliberately did it. 1t is also
certain that thorough and rigid invcsti-
CATION will be instituted and it is not i'm
probable that it will yet be discovered
who the guilty party was.
Much more is known about the affair
than it is thought wise to make public at
present, but real live sensation may be
looked for almost any day.

ony has ordered the preparation OF full
official account of the elopment of the
crown princess Louise and the circum
stances leading up to it for the Saxons,
among whom the most fantastical stories
are in circulation to the detriment of the

the future king.
The scandal is undermining the peo-

The dynasty being Catholic and the peo-
pie Protestant, the affair is being utilized

RECOUNT DOES NOT
APPEAR PROBABLE
SAID THAT JUDGE SMITHS DE-
ClSlON WILL LIKELY BE HELD
GOOD BY SUPREME COURT.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Anaconda, Dec. 3o.-1n the opinion of
some of the Anaconda attorneys the de-
cision of Judge Smith in the McMahon-
Barnden contested election case and the
views OF the judge as orally expressed in
his decision effectualy settles the con-
tested cases in Deer Lodge county.
1t is pointed out that in allowing re-
count Judge Smith did not go contrary
TO the decision of Judge Napton, for the
reason that in the Powell county case
Sheriff Mcmahon was in position TO
swear, and did swear that he knew of his
own knowledge that the court was wrong
that an error had been made by the judges
and clerks OF election In his decision
Judge Smith took occasion to say that "if
he had not sworn to that positively he
never could have recounted those bal
lots"
While the plaintiffs in the Deer Lodge
county case have as yet had no oppor-
tunty to show what they can prove, it is
confidently alleged by the other side that
they will be unable to comply with Judge
Smiths ruling and furnish positive evil
dence Of either fraud or error, and with
out this recount cannot be had. The
Deer Lodge county contestants rely more
upon errors of count and errors of judg-
ment OH the part of the judges OF cleo
tion than upon fraud, it is understood,
and il Judge Smiths view of the law is
right recount will not be had.
However. the supreme court will pass
upon the matter and that tribunal may
take still another view and lay down an
other principle OF law.
