JOHN MAC G|NN|SS
IS COMING BACK
WHEN FRITZ SEES HIM THERE WILL
BE SOMETHING DOING IN THE
LINE OF ExPLETlVES.

There is an air of expectancy and sub
dued excitement about the Butte hotel.
Tom Kinds PAGES the rotunda anxiously
as the hours when trains from the East
are expected.
John MacGinniss is coming back!
He may be here today; it may not be
until tomorrow. There is secrecy about
everything except that Johnny is on the
road.
Whether or not he brings his automatic
self-adjusting interview with him is not
made public. Perhaps he leaves it in the
East rather than bring it back to be sub
mtted to the calcinng process in the
Silver Bow block
Important Details.
Those who have seen Johnny in the
East recently, say that in Chicago he
had his hair cut and bought new over
coat, the which have materially changed
the appearance of the author of that
famous bit of fiction, "The Autobiography
OF John MacGinniss," in the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
No longer does the MacGinniss hair
stick out behind like the caboose behind
a freight train. 1t clings closer, but still
retains some of its Edwin Booth roll. And
then the overcoat 1t is a dream. The
one of last winter with which Mac
Ginnss dazzled the feminine eyes at Hell
ena is not one-two-three with this one.
Wait for it, 1t is coming.
Johnny will remain in Butte day or
two before going to Helena to discharge
his legislative duties. Indications are they
will not be altogether pleasant days. Fitz
Augustus has things to say to MacGinniss
about his interview habit that will sound
harsh and unfeeing.
He Is an Unpleasant Man.
Your Uncle Fritz when angered--and he
is angered now-is said to use language
by the cord and to be absolutely brutal in
his singing Of phrases
When the MacGinniss spirit has been
suitably chastened its owner will take it
and the overcoat and the haircut to
Helena.
Another wandering member OF the Silver
Bow delegation is back Guy Stapleton
has returned from Pttsburg. He came
hurriedly. Heinze needed him. Guy is
a lawyer, and legal talent is wocfully
lacking in the Silver Bow bunch
Charles w. Dempster wore wide-eyed
look of anxiety this morning. His appli-
cation for leave of absence from the citys
employ to go to Helena and legslate did
not reach action by the council last night
because there was no council meeting.
viii Mayor Mullins manage to get a
council meeting Friday night for the pur-
pose? Echo answers Will he?
And Mayor Mullins hmself.-will he
leave town long enough to even answer
roll call at Helena, or does he fear the
solid eleven too much to take even that
short leave? Just hear the echo to that
query come revcrberatng from the r,pos-
ing walls OF the Butte hotel.

WITH ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
Many Poor Home Enlightened Today by
Workers in the Society.

Workers in the Society.
Many a home has been frightened with
Thanksgiving cheer by the wise generosity
of the Associated Charities and most gen
erous contributions Of big hearted people
in the city. Children will be made happy
by having their hunger appcased and pa
rents can smile while the little folks enjoy
the good substantial dinners sent them by
their friends. In the work of distribution
of dinners on this day the Associated
Charities deserve great credit. This or
ganization has expended the money placed
under its charge with so much discretion
that it has won the confidence of the
public
One thing to be noted is that the COM
mittee on investigation has never made
itself obnoxious as is so often the case
in other cities. When report is sent in
telling of some family in distress, help is
sent in a limited way; then member of
the association goes to see in what need
the family is before other steps are taken.
Cases Of Dire Distress.
Some cases of dreadful distress are re-
ported, not infrequently a houseful of
children with not one edible thing in the
house and the clothes covering their
bodies mere rags; yet the parents are away
seeking drink, or lying in drunken
stupor in the miserable hovel called
"home.' Again it is some widow who
has been i'll and the children too small
to earn loaf of bread or even to care
for the sick mother. Some cases have
been reported where the father is left
with nest full of little ones and no
mother to care for them. This is usually
the most helpless of cases, as the father
is compelled to be away seeking work or
doing odd jobs here and there while the
children run wild or seek the backyards OF
neghbors trying to appease youngsters
naturally ravenous appetite.
Here is where the mothery spirit OF
the good women who are in charge of the
Associated Charities come to the rescue
