SHALL We CELEBRATE?

The season is approaching when
the anniversary Of our nations birth
will be here For years Kalispell has
allowed the day to pass with nothing
to distinguish it from any other day.
AS a rule the prosperity and progress
of a city is in direct proportion to
the public spirit and enterprise pos
9essed by its citizens and in what
way can the public spirit and enter
Drise of city be better displayed
than in proper celebration of the
nations birthday? To be sure it is
easier for the business man to give
up the cares of life for the day and
go to the fields or woods but there
are thousands of people in the coun-
try whose daily toll is in the fields
and woods and who desire to see
something else on that day. They
are not eXacting or hard to please
and they are the people whose labor
has made Kalispell what it is. Upon
them must depend Kalispell's future
prosperity and it is Kalispell's duty
II offer them hospitality and enter
tdiliiiltHl oil lllt L oUIt III VI July. Ht
people of the country must spend
long weeks in solitary labor and they
naturally look to the Fourth as a
holiday for recreation and enjoy
ment. To enjoy the day they must
have common meeting point and a
suitable program and they look to
the chief city of the county to fur
nish these facilities.
To arrange a proper and fitting Gel
ebration the matter should be taken
mp at once and the Bee suggests that
the trustees of the county fair as
ISOLATION and the city officials get
together and map out the work. The
fair grounds will make an admirable
place for the holding of the celebra
ton and no doubt good card OIL
races can be arranged. An ole
fashioned barbecue would be a feat
ure of hospitality that would be ap
preciat7d by the visitors. while bal
loon ascension and other attractions
could no doubt be arranged
BY all means let us celebrate and
let it be a rousing whole-hearted af-
fair.

SlCkROOM PHILOSOPHY.

Never confine a patient to one room
If you can obtain the use of two.
Never play the piano to a sick person
if you can play on strings or sing.
Never stand and fidget when a sick
person is talking to you. Sit down.
Never complain that you cannot get
feeding cup if there is teapot to be
had instead.
Never read fast to a sick person.
The way to make a story seem short
is to tell it slowly.
Never judge the condition of your
patient from his appearance during a
conversation. See how he looks an
hour afterward.
Never put hot water bottle next to
the skin. Its efficiency and the pa
TENTS safety are both enhanced by
surrounding the bottle with flannel.
Never allow the patient to take the
temperature himself. Many patients
are more knowing than nurses where
there is a question of temperature.

1t is deploratle that the city coun-
Gil should lend hand to the perpet-
uation of the unsightly shacks which
have served their purpose and are
now being showed aside to make
room for substantial and ornate
buildings. These nondescript edit
COS, with their high store fronts and
diminishing proportions too long have
numbered the ground in Kalispell.
Every time one of these landmarks
are abandoned they should be con-
demned and RACED to the ground in
stead of being moved to another To-
cation, outside the fire limits, there
to further disfigure. disgrace and
annoy. The council should grant no
more permits for preserving these
old hulks. Let them be broken up
tor firewool.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Governor Toole has called a special
session of the legislature to convene
on the Goth of the present month.
The subjects to be considered are APP
preparations for state exhibit at
the st. Louis Worlds fair and for the
Improvement and maintenance of the
Capitol grounds.
Both of these subjects are worthy
of generous consideration. The
state now has a handsome and COM
modious capitol building and 1t
would seem niggardly to allow it to
stand surrounded by barren waste
of earth and gravel left from the con-
s.ruction of the building.
Montana's experience in expanding
money for socalled worlds fair pur-
poses has not been of the sort to
cause her people to become wildly
enthusiastic over the subject, but be
cause she was buncoed at the Chi
cago exhibition it does not necessa
rily follow that she will have tht
same experience at st. Louis, and the
Chicago experience will be valuable
Louis. The Chicago lesson was al
expensive one costing the state owe
hundred thousand dollars 70
which she received nothing but rid
Guile in return, but we have the sal
isfaction of knowing that the miSel
able fiasco of the Montana buildin
and exhibit at Chicago was entirel
due to Montana men and was not i
any degree chargeable to the manage
ment of the exhibition,
An interesting feature of the eXtr
session will be the meeting wit
President Roosevelt who is to be i
Helena on the 9th. and who will n
doubt address the lawmakers in joir
assembly. The members have agree
TO hold the extra session withor
compensation for per diem and nils
age as allowed by law.

Hot Cross Buns.

In it's early days, when, it is to be
hoped, it WAS more tOOthsome than it
is now, the hot cross bun played some
part in converting the people of these
islands to Christianity. Pagan England
was in the habit of eating cakes in
honor Of the goddess of spring, and
Christian missionaries found that
though they could alter the views Of
the people in reference to religious
matters they could not induce them to
withhold from the consumption of con-
fectionery. So they put the sign of the
cross upon the bun Of the Saxon era
and launched it upon missionary enter
prise which has extended through the
intervening centuries and survived till
now.-London Tit-Bits.

BIRMINGHAM PICTURES.
They Were Mere Paper, but They
SubGued the Artist Turner.

They Were Mere Paper, but They
Subdued the Artist Turner.
Turner, the great landscape painter,
was curious mixture of parsimony
and generosity, determined money
grabbing and unreckoning devotion to
his art. He would drive hard bar
gain one day and the next refuse to
sell at any price. Intending purchas-
ers were sometimes excluded from his
gallery. and the refusal Of admission
was communicated in anything but a
polite manner.
MI elliott, the wealthy pen manu-
facturer of birmingham. once proved
himself equal to the task of storming
the castle in the teeth of the gruff art
ist and his dOOrkeeper and achieving a
bargain. A book OH Turner gives the
story.
Mr. elliott was met at the door of
Turner's house by an old woman, who
opened the door and asked the gentle
mans business.
Cant let e inv' she snapped out,
when he told her, and tried to slam the
door.
But Mr.. elliott had put his foot in
side the door and without waiting for
permission pushed past the enraged
janitress and hurried upstairs to the
gallery. Turner met him like spider
whose web has been invaded. The in
truder introduced himself and said
that he had come to buy.
Don't want to sell"' was the an
swer.
"Have you seen our Birmingham pic
lures, Mr.. TurnerY' inquired the visit
or, as calmly as if he had been received
as gentleman should be.
Never heard of EN- said Turner.
Mr.. elliott took from his pocket some
Birmingham bank notes.
"Mere paper" remarked Turner, who
evidently enjoyed the joke.
"TO be bartered for mere canvas
said the visitor, waving his hand to in
dictate the paintings Oh the wall. His
tone-perhaps also the sight Of the
'mere paper'-conquered Turner, and
when the visitor departed he had bar
| gained for several valuable pictures.

THE MISSING FOWL.
An Experience With an Absent.

accepted reminding him that as he
was absentminded he had better make
a note of the evening. AS he had no
paper in his pocket he wrote the date
on his shirt cuff. When the appointed
evening arrived l went to his studio
The door was opened by Wills, and
could see that he had forgotten all
about the appointment. "Ah, old fell
low" he exclaimed do not be too
hard on me. The cuff went to the
wash. and the date with it. But there
is fowl in the pot boiling here" con-
tinued Mr.. Wills. 'Just come in and
wait few minutes"
l had my misgivings, but walked in
side and sat down upon the only chair
not crowded with paint brushes and
palettes After waiting for about
twenty minutes, feeling deucedly hun
CRY, | groaned. This had the effect of
reminding Wills that l was present.
He exclaimed in a dreamy voice, "The
fowl must be boiled by this time,' and
coming forward he lifted the Id OF the
pot and peered inside. 1T is very
odd" he remarked, but l cannot see
the fowl. Extraordinary. No one has
been here SO the bird cannot have
been stolen
l. Well. the long and short of it is that
week or two later l called again at
the studio, noticed a peculiar odor and
discovered the old fowl wrapped up in
piece of brown paper. "Ah!' said
Wills, "now l know how it all hap
pened. When the fowl was brought in
there came a smart visitor-Lady G.
about sittings for her portrait. l must
have thrown the fowl behind canvas
and forgotten all about it. But now,

The PQrSee.

The Parsee, untrammeled by his sur
roundings, is seen in Bombay in all his
wealth of height and dress. The men
are, without exception, tall, finely
formed and stately and possess ro-
business and beauty quite at contrast
with their Hindoo neighbors.
Their street costume is a peculiar
long white cotton gown. wide trousers
Of the same material and color and q
tall inter shaped hat. They have q
general reputation for sobriety, frugal
ty and sagacity, and they seem t.
thoroughly understand the accumula
ton of fortunes, in this respect resem

The enormous flow of immigration
at the present time is giving very
serious concern to the officials hav-
ing in charge that branch of the pub
lie service. An immense proportion
of it they know is undesirable, but
they are powerless to stop it. Under
the law the gates are open to all not
brought in under contract, those af-
ficted with disease, convicted crimi-
nails. and persons likely to become a
public charge Notwithstanding all
the vigilance exercised, many of the
prohibited classes manage to slip by.
| Evasion of the law is reduced to a
rush is extremely difficult Southern
! italy is the hive out of which the
| most undesirable accretions to our
| population pour, and the suspicion is
strong that immense numbers of
them are assisted by INSCRIPTIONS
spectators of their own race, who
hold them in financial bondage until
the money advanced to them is paid
back with enormous interest charges.
This is the belief of the immigration
officers, but to get at the proof Of it
is another matter. Thus far it has
bafled all their ingenuity and skill.
It is felt the only place to ferret the
thing out is in the regions from
which these immigrants come, and
steps toward that end have already
been taken. The Italian government
could possibly throw some light on
the subject, but their interest lies the
other way. The departure of the i'm.
poverished leaves more room and op.
portunity for the better circum
stanced portion of the population
and then there is the chance in many
cases the certainty, that they will en-
rich the country by transmitting part
of their earnings to their families
which are forced to remain at home

Minneapolis an organized system

mayor and all of his subordinates

They differed from the common sec

in the fact that they took by force

the generosity of their victims. Elk
mayor Ames is said to be an old
man. broken in health and spirit, but
his age did not prevent his partici-

crimes, and it should not be bar

ment If the rest of his days should
be spent in prison stripes he could
not atone for the misery and degreda-
ton for which he is responsible.
Much sui prise has been expressed
that Ames should be convicted, but
1ne wonder is that it should be so
difficult to convict a man whom the
entire community knows to be guilty.
Mayor Ames will no doubt be sent to
join his brother in prison, who was
recently convicted of the same Of

Where Cobras Are Held to Be Sacred
