LIE. offer
advantages to b0rr0lO.-
ers Which you cannot
afford to overlook.

Our plan of making loans allows the repay
ment of the principal with interest In equal
motnhly installments and, as each installment
is paid, the amount so paid is divided In two
parts; one being the interest upon the balance
due, the other being credit upon the principal
sum secured by the mortgage. BY this pro-
cess the borrower pays interest only upon the
sum of money unpaid; and not interest upon
the whole sum for the whole time.
Our loan relieves the borrower from any
stock liabilities, and from the dependence upon
the maturity of stock, as is the common prac-
tice when the loan is repaid in monthly install
ments, for the purpose of determining the
duration of the mortgage or the number Of
installments to be paid. The loan is plain,
everyday contract, stripped of all verbiage
and technicalities and incomprehensive details
and any school-boy, with an ordinary knowi-
edge OF mathematics, can figure out the balance
due upon one Of our mortgage contracts.
To render the loan entirely flexible the fol-
lowing options are given to borrowers:
(a) The borrower may pay two or more
iustallments at a time, thus reducing the loan
and interest more rapidly than tho terms Of
the contract require.
b) After one year the borrower may re-
duce his original loan in sums Of 500, BY the
payment of an amount sufficient, together
with the previous amounts paid upon each
500, to equal the said sum Of 500, and by
this means reduce the monthly installments
OF both principal and interest to be paid there
after.
c) After one year from the date Of the
mortgage, the borrower may repay the entire
sum then remaining due.

WOMAN'S SNAKE TRICK
BEATS ST. PATRICK'S
Western Farmers Shrewd Wife Is
Exterminating Rattlers.

HELENA, Mon. July THE problem
of how to dispose OF the rattlesnakes at
Ten Mile Point near here has been
solved by Mrs. Daniel Dutro. a farmers
wife. She uses a mouse trap, and thus
far has been highly successful.
Ten Mile Point has often been called
Rattlesnake Point on account of the
large numbers of rattlers that thrive In
that vicinity. Many cattle have been
killed by the reptiles. and now and then
a human victim is added.
Mr.. Dutro and Jack Cornwall. the lat
ter a noted snake catcher. sought the
aid OF the woman in their dilemma.
Nothing more simple said Mrs.
Dutro. with a superior smile. She
bought a number of common circular
mouse traps which she baited and set
around in various places. When she
entered the kitchen the next morning.
she found each trap filled. In each hole
was a snake. which had been attracted
by the bait and then chOked to deaf b
when the trap was sprung. The smallest
was a triie more than one foot in
length, while the largest was four feet
and had eight rattles. Mrs. Dutro ex-
poets to rid the Point Of snakes in about
two weeks.

BEAUTIFUL EYElASRES
WHILE WOMEN WAIT
ANY Shade Desired Is Available for
Moderate Sum.

LONDON, July Art eyeIashes" are
the latest invention of a hair specialist
In Great Castle Street
Before noon yesterday six ladies with
downcast eyes emerged from the spe-
cialist's establishment. They had long
silken eyelashes.
A newspaper man who entered the
shop CLEANED some interesting informa-
ton. On the counter were cardboard
boxes containing countless cards. On
each card was a delicate set of lashes
attached to scarcely visible strip of
fishskin.
A small bottle containing skin
fluid" patented in America, and two
cards complete the outfit. The eve
lashes are Is Sd per pair for society
wear" and Is Sd per pair for theatrical
wear.
ION our customers first visit" said
the manager, I'VE fix the skin on the
eyelid with the fluid, and the false lashes
mix with the lashes of the lady. 1t IS
beautiful-beautiful."
The lashes last ten days usually. but
twenty with care.
The manager declared that the rs Cd
pairs were proof against even a pro-
longed fit of hysteria, but he admitted
of course, that be had no direct evidence
to that effect.
The theatrical Iashes are black and
very long, and made of coarser material.
The hairs are of vegetable origin and OF
every shade. They can be curled with
the tongs when they become aggressively
downeast.
Eyebrows at los cd per pair, lasting
from three to six months. are another
speciality at this shop. and into those
sold to elderly ladies gray hairs are cum
ningly inserted.
