A writer in Forest and Stream tells
us Of the methods the thrush adopts in
teaching his little ones to sing.
"Find," he says, "a family of wood
thrushes and carefully note what takes
place. The old male thrush will sing
the sweet song In loud, clear, flutelike
notes once and then stop to listen
while the young birds try to initiate
the song. Some will utter one note.
some two. Some will utter coarse
note, others a sharp note. After awhile
they seem to forget their lesson and
droIAeut one by one. When all are 81
lent, the old thrush turns up again,
and the young thrushes repeat their
efforts, and so it goes on for hours.
The young birds do not acquire the
fun song the first year, so the lessons
are repeated the following spring.
take many visitors into the woods to
enjoy the first thrushes' singing school,
and all are convinced that the song of
the wood thrush is 4 matter of educa-
ton pure and simple"

In the big mining suit OF James H.

q verdict for the plaintiffs for $28, 400
was rendered at the trial OF the case
recently, the plaintiff today fled mo-
tion to retax the costs and a notice OF
a motion to set aside and vacate the
verdict.
The cost bill Of the plaintiffs was a

tiffs ask the defendants to pay amount
to about $500 The defendants ask the

What They Claim.
The plaintiffs claim $l,395.75 as the rea-
sonable cost OF making lb maps. The
defendants object to this item on several
grounds. They say the item Is not
taxable as costs by law nor by the usual
practice Of the court. They also say
that the charge IL not reasonable.
The plaintiffs ask for $1.79O.90 for nee
essary expenses in preparing for the
trial. The defendants offer about the
same reasons for objecting to this item,
and add others.
They allege that there Is no practice
or law authorizing as costs fees for
sampling a mine or examining q mine
or directing work about mine.

Items Objected To.
An item of 500 for Joseph Pyle and
an item for $5S.40 for Lee Davenport
are objected to for the reason that 1t
did not appear from the cost bill what
services had been rendered by the men
named and for other reasons. A claim
for $l2O.50 for II. T. Baker Is also de-
INJURED to on the same grounds.
An item of $3.50 claimed by the plain
tffs "as the reasonable expense Of do

objected to on number Of grounds
The defendants say that the item Is
not taxable as costs; that the work was
not performed under the order Of the
court that 1t was not an expense rea-

case, and on other grounds. A number
of other small amounts charged as costs

The Butte lodge of Elks had royal
time last night, the occasion Of it's annual
election and installation Of officers. Sell

merrier throng or members manifest
more genuine enthusiasm at the election
of their candidates.
All the Elks in town were there; all the
Elks in town voted like one man for the
officers elected; and after the more seri-
Gus business of the evening was over, all
the Elks in town threw aside every evil
dence of formality and had a royal good
Elk of time.
The retiring exalted ruler, Harry Gall
wey, was the recipient of a token of the
esteem in which he Is held by his brother
Elks and their appreciation of his able
and faithful discharge of the duties of
the honored post.
The gift from the members Of the lodge
was magnificent diamond studded Elk

the order, the name Of the recipient and

ton speech was made by C. p. Connolly.

where we receive the cheering hospitality

For the past year you have been the

MRS. KIRBY, FAT AND FORTY, IS
TAKING LESSONS IN
TERPsICHoRE.
KIRBY MAKES PROTEST TO
COUNTY ATTORNEY LYNCH
A Family That Dances to Tunes of
Domestic Discord-Girl Ran Away
From Home and Father Encourages
Her to Stay Away.

The trouble OF the Kirby family will
remind the public of the book with the
weird title "The Dance of Death" Not
because they have any relation to the
contents of the book, but because they
concern dancing of various kinds.
The members of the Kirby family have
grown familiar with the interior of the
county attorneys Office lately on ac-
count of dancing. Mrs. w. j. Kirby is
learning to dance, according to Kirby's
story; Miss Kirby dances against her
mothers will, and Kirby is dancing to
the tune played by the rest of the
family.
Kirby and his better-half do not get
along very well, and they live apart.
Miss Kirby has lived with her mother
until lately when she received n casti-
CATION at the hands of the latter for at
tending a dance without chaperone
and took up her abode with Mrs. Spur
ling, on Driscol street.
The Tale Of Woe.
Yesterday Mrs Kirby told a tale Of
woe to Deputy County Attorney Lynch
in the county attorneys office. and de-
manded that she be helped to require
her daughter to return home. She con-
fded to the official that she feared that
the girl would go astray n allowed to re-
main away from home. as she Is only l6
years old.
Kirby found out that his wife had been
to see Mr. Lynch, and he arrived at the
office about an hour after her departure
and put in a protest against the girl
being forced to return TO her mother
,,ff % ;y A nlj and "a
is learning to dance" said he. And then
he told an uncomplimentary story about
Mrs Kirby.
Kirby is well known to Mr.. Lynch, and
his trouble with his wife is of long
standing. ah14i
Wanted Wife Disciplined.
He called at the county attorneys
office several weeks ago and wanted
something done to his wife because in
his estimation she did not behave prop
erly but nothing could be done for him
under the circumstances, it not being
shown that the lady had broken the
law.
This morning the KTbys were at the
office of the prosecutor again, and the
flight of the girl from the mother nest
was discussed. The girl very decidedly
objected to returning to her mother, and
she was supported by her father in the
position she took
Mr.. Lynch finally told her that she
would have to live with one parent or
the other, and her father promised to
take charge OF her.
What the mother will do further In
the premises or what effect this will
have upon the dancing proclivities of the
family are yet to be seen.

bers year ago when you were elected,
we have increased our membership to the
splendid total of $40 members. This has
been a tribute to your personal popular
ity as man.
'In this spirit the members of Silver
Bow lodge have deputized me to present
to you this little token of their gratitude
and esteem. OF itself 1t Is not much. 1t
does not begin to shadow forth the feel
ing that animates us all in this presenta-
tion. We cannot look into the future;
we know not how soon we may seek the
bosom of mother earth and keep company
with the absent; but as long as life lasts
and memory survives, carry this little
treasure with you, and bear In mind al
ways that the good will of Silver Bow
lodge keeps company with 1t wherever
you may travel and no matter how weary
the road"
In few graceful words Mr.. Gallwey
acknowledged the token, expressing his
appreciation of the spirit which prompted
it. The social session, which lasted for
several hours was the occasion for all
kinds of merriment which Is peculiar to
the Elks and leaves pleasant recollections
of fun that Is entirely unalloyed.

and installed for the ensuing year:

only method by which an opposition
