ing and Boulevarding Matter.

The council met in regular session
yesterday afternoon at 4 O'Clock for
the purpose of receiving the official
returns of the city election. The
meeting was to have been held Mon
day evening, but the illness of Alder
man Symmes made it impossible to
get a quorum on that date. Aside
from attending to the election mat
ter the street and alley committee
reported favorably upon the plan of
e. w. King for city b~oulevarding and
the matter of tree planting and the
general improvement of the city is
now in a fair way to be started at
once. The request of Messrs. King
and Wright for the privilege of boul.
evarding their places was granted.
There being no other business ready
for the consideration of the council
it was adjourned until the next reg.
ular meeting night, which comes on
Monday, May 4th.

FAVOR
EXTRA SESSION
The Proposition to Call ar Extra SEES.
sion of the Legislature General.
Iy Acceptable.
TO PASS WORLDS FAIR BILL
Members to Serve Without Pay-Are
to be in Session at the Time
of Presidents Visit.

There is a movement on foot to call
the legislature together in extra SEES
sion on the 26th of May for the pur.
pose of voting an appropriation for
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to
be held in st. Louis next year. II Is
said that If the members will agree
to come to Helena at no cost to the
state, pay their own railroad fare and
serve with per diem there is little
doubt of the session being called.
Senator Waite, of this county. was
seen yesterday by the Argus reporter
and stated that he would be glad to
make the trip. THE trip would be
harder on us Fergus county members
than any Others" he continued. I'VE
live so far from a railroad that the
time and expense would be consider
able. | think that "a hours would be
sufficient time to make the appropria-
ton once the Legislators are on the
ground"
When asked as to his opinion on
the proposed session, Representative
Hilger said: IL think If the members
agree to the conditions proposed the
session will be called. | also believe
that it is the only way in which Mon.
tana can be properly and Off .Ially
represented at the great exposition.
| do not doubt that but one day will
be sufficient time for the legislators
to agree upon an appropriation. Then,
too, IL would speak well of the states
patriotism to have her Legislature in
session and ready to aid the other
state officials in receiving the Pres
ident Of the United States whcL he
visits the capital of Montana. | shall
certainly go II business arrangements
will possibly permit"
Representative f. w. King is out Il
his mine in the Little Rockies, but 1t
is almost a certainty that he will be
ready to go If the extra session is
called. While here he expressed a
strong hope that some arrangements
can be made to have the safe official
" represented at the fair.
While all of the members have not
been heard from. all of those who
have expressed themselves are favor
able to the proposition and there Is
every reason to believe that an extra
session will be called.

THE WORM TURNED.
What Kind of ssNTen Folks Did
These Women Haves

What Kind of ssMen Folks Did
These Women Haves
Two women were talking Of ways
and means and how to increase their
income on farm. Both had husbands.
One was the up to date farm woman.
She had beautiful, plump, crimson
combed chickens by the hundred, tur-
keys galore, and gentle, shining Jersey
cows that were source Of revenue the
year round What is more, the sole
revenue from the cows and poultry
was hers and hers alone. In cooking
and making q home and doing for
her husband she considered she made
ample return for the feed of her cows
and poultry, and her husband. agreed.
If he had not he would have been rea-
soned with in way to make him see
a great light, for Mrs Farmer was
fully aware of the respect due to both
Wifehood and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to
the individual citizen. But in her case
the respect and consideration were will
ingly accorded. Mr.. Farmer ever car
ried her butter and eggs to market in
a neat receptacle in his buggy when he
went to town, faithfully handing her
over the money on bis return. SO all
was well in the Farmer family.
Mrs. Farmer said to the other woman
that there certainly was good money
for women in rearing poultry if they
managed it properly. The other wom-
an agreed, then made the following re-
markable remark:
sUnbeknoWnst to the men folks me
and Marthy Ann has set hen"
Mrs. Farmer stared, for she did not
catch the woman's meaning at first:
then she snickered, but suppressed the
smoker, dying to explode with laughter
ali the while. Then as the situation
became quite clear to her she thought
to herself how she could help that poor,
ignorant, benighted slave of a woman
to an underst standing Of her own worth
and deserts.
Set a hen unbeknownst to the men
folks!
OF all things! Are there still men of
that sort in this land of Bibles and
free schools and new women?
One could not have believed It. Yet
the story is fact, no made up fake
Poor Mrs. Slavey was married nearly
forty years ago, and had gone to hive
with her husband In poor little house
on poor little bit of land. Like a
slave she had toiled, like a slave she
had been rewarded Nfarthy Ann was
her daughter The ''men folks were
her husband and a widower son. The
son had brought to his mother tow-
headed boy in his own lanky, slow

lawn and plain refreshments - thin
bread and butter, cress sandwiches and
punch served under an awning or tree
The elaborate garden party may take
the form of a musicale or follow the
English fashion of games-tennis, Gro
Quet, etc. One of the best plans is to
have little programme of music and
dancing or perhaps a little out of door
play, followed by supper under the
trees lighted by the harvest moon and
japanese lanterns.
Instead of the lanterns, which some
times catch fire in a strong wind, there
lave been introduced this year garden
party lamps. These are candlesticks
made Of glass or metal with a candle
set into a high bell shaped chimney to
protect it from drafts.
While fancy ices are very pretty
they are sometimes expensive, and
plain ice cream may be made doubly
attractive if it is served in long, mar
row glasses surmounted by a spoonful
Of whipped cream. Blackberries frozen
in vanilla ice cream are delicious, and
coffee parfait is easy to make, for it
Goes not require to be put in the freez-
er. Serve each slice of cream with a
flower by its side and the slices Of
boned chicken with a small tomato
split open and filed with mayonnaise
Fruit punch is always appreciated,
and a ginger punch can either be made
with Canton ginger or good ginger ale
mixed with lemon and orange juice.
Settlers or other carbonated water
adds much to a punch and should al
ways be used in preference to plain
water.
For the out of door supper little
tables seating four will be required.
These are prettiest if decorated in diff
ferent colors throughout. Hot bouillon,
chicken or clam broth is the first
course; then a croquette of boned
chicken with rolls or sandwiches and a
dainty salad. Ices, bonbons and coffee
complete the little feast Cigars and
cigarettes should be provided for the
men. HELEN CLIFTON.

How 20 Give This Attractive Cut of
Door Entertainment.
September is an excellent month in
which to give a garden party, for the
weather is then fairly certain and the
sunshine just comfortably warm. Flow
ers are also to be obtained in quaint
ties, which is not always the case in
the early summer.
Nasturtiums, goldenrods and even
field daisies make pretty decorations
when arranged in glass bowls and
tastefully placed in dolly of green
leaves. The tables are much prettier
made Of rustic wood, but ordinary la
bles may be wreathed in vines and
placed under the trees with good effect.
There are two kinds of garden party
the simple and the elaborate.
The simple is merely an afternoon
tea with conversation on the shady

image was the exact reproduction Of
the old man, the boys grandfather.
Marthy Ann and Mrs. Slavey cooked
and washed and tended these not hand

ing up things after them and cleaning
up the kitchen dutifully when the old
man brought his harness in there to
clean and oil, making fearful mess.
and the wife never said a word She
had MIXED cows and made butter to
sell-rather poor butter it was, for she
was too spiritless to demand modern
dairy convenfences--and old Gale, her
husband, and the son had marketed it
and bought chewing tobacco with the
money, whether Marthy Arm had any
new spring hat or not The two wom-
en- raised poultry and sent occasionally
some likely pnllets and dozens of fair
eggs to the town. Old Gale took them
to the customers, got the money and
put it away in his own thin leather
wallet to help out with the taxes.
Wasn't what was his wife's his, and
wasn't what was his his own? Old
Gale would have regarded as a danger
Gus anarchist one who thought that
what was his wife's was not his-that
is, if he could have conceived of any
body holding ideas so subversive of
law, order and religion
Soul and body, he had owned that
wife and worked her nearly forty
years and enjoyed the fruits of her
toll, and never thought he was get
ting any more than his just dues. He
would have been astonished if anybody
had limited that in all this time he had
been any other than the best of hus-
bands
But forty years give a woman time
to learn something. 1t was beginning
to dawn on Mrs. Slavey that she was
an individual, and one who had been
badly used She discussed the point
with Marthy Ann. They put their
heads together and resolved to assert
themselves. 1t was daring step for
two ground down women to take. But
the woman's rights idea prevailed.
They rebelled, and the utmost they
dared was to-

Enables HER TO sYnpArH1zE

has wished to become-a shriveled soul
like hundreds of others-without sor-
row, but also without joy"
''But the girl who follows the wide
open policy, who, like an open door, re
ceives every experience that comes
along, what of her? Does she not suf-
ferY'
Yes, indeed. But with the pain
comes the ability to bear it and the
knowledge which makes her soul and
even the very features of her face no
bic and strong. When sorrow and
hardships come to her she does not
Ehirk or refuse to bear them. She puts
her shoulder bravely to the wheel and
turns them into triumphs. Because one
friend proves false or one experience
cruel she does not for that reason
shirlE all friendships or ali similar ex-
periences. Her sorrows indeed have
the gift of broadening her heart and
mind and Of enabling her to sympa-
thize with all who suffer. And, above
all, she does not deny love because it
will not bring her money, power or
position, but she loves nobly with her
whole soul and heart, as a true woman
should love, and in return her whole
being grows in understanding, in beau
ty and in mental strength
"And which policy has the greatest
number Of followers?"
"Can YOU ask me? Look around you
and watch the world Of women Are
they not all the time seeking to save
themselves pain, even the expanding
of energy? There is, perhaps, one
epoch in the ordinary woman's life
when she rises to sublime heights,
and that is the first time she falls in
love. Her soul and heart are stretched,
as it were. She has new and wonder
full ideas. She dreams of noble aspira-
tons. But If, for some reason, the
love affair falls through she becomes
imbittered and small for the rest Of
her days. Often, too, in the rare
cases when she marries that first love
and her ideals never receive blow she
IS content to forget all her noble
aspirations and wonderful dreams Of
mental advancement, and she becomes
stupid and even lazy, she is so fond Of
her comfort. Sometimes her husband
wonders at the change in her, but
oftener he reflects that all women be-
come that way when they are nearing
middle age.R MAUD ROBINSON.
