tempt. Friday evening he tried to
get check cashed at Fitch & Smith

SO coarse that suspicion was aroused

zone exactly similar at the Conrad
National bank. but he was again
turned down. and the check held.
The cases We're not reported to the

rested. and as he had swindled
of people in Great Falls out
of a considerable amount of money
he was allowed to be taken there to
stand trial. Chief of Police Cook
stated that the man was supposed to
be implicated in number of burgla-
ry cases and that he had the repu-
tation of being an all around crook.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 2.-This was a
happy day for Miss Ruth Bryan. In
the first place it was her eighteenth
birthday, the day on which she be-
comes her own mistress, and natur-
ally day of rejoicing for any young
woman. But a still more potent
cause contributed = the happiness .;f

fair western girl while painting The

The happiness of Miss Bryan is not
lessened in looking forward to the
felicitous event Of tomorrow, by con-
templating what might have been. for
as has become publicly known. both
Col. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan were at
first opposed to their daughters we'd
ding, and. in fact. stoutly refused to
give their consent. The principal
cause of their opposition was the
youth of the bride-to-be. But Miss
Bryan inherits the frmness ana
strength of character possessed by
her father and after vainly trying to
get her parents consent boldly an
nounced that with or without it she
was determined to marry the man of
her choice on the very day she be-
came her own mistress.
But the determination of the young
woman was not to be put to the SUI
preme test. Both Col. Bryan and his
wife relented and after a few more
opportunities from their daughter
and from her fiance the parents de-
cided that they were not at all op-
posed to the match and in fact would
gladly bestow the parental blessing
on the couple. This is why Miss
Bryan is so happy today. Surround
ed by the relatives and friends who
have gathered from far and near she

IVORY CHAIR OF STATE.
One Of Queen Victoria's Jubilee Pres.
ents Will Be on Exhibition.

Among the priceless treasures
comprising the Jubilee presents of
Queen Victoria, which have been
sent to America by King Edward of
England for exhibition at the world
fair, is a wonderful ivory chair and
foOtstOOl. These were presented to
the late queen by the maharajah of
TravancOre.
The carving on the chair and foot
stool is a revelation Of the possibili-
ties Of art. The feet are in the form
of lions paws, and the arms termi-
the form of a shell. supported by ele-
plants rampant. The seat is of ala
baster, and the chair has a gold and
silver tissue drapery around the un-
derside of the frame, finished with
tassels and richly chased ormolu or
naments. The cushions are of green
velvet embroidered in gold and silve,
thread. Every outside part of the
chair is covered with delicately
carved figures of men and animals.
This maharajah, not satisfied with
this truly princely gift, presented al
so to her majesty two immense pairs
of elephants tusks. The official de-
scription of these is as follows:
1.-Pair of elephants tusks,
mounted on a buffalo's head, carved
in ebony, which is supported on four
griffions. The tusks are supported
higher by a crossbar of ebony and
resting on the heads of four figures
representing some of the incarna-
tions of Vishnu. Rushing from the
projecting ends of the crossbar to
the tusks are two griffins with two
elephants under them, linking their
trunks. On the center of the bar is
a sixteen-handed figure of Shive,
standing on the PROSTATE form of an
Albamaram, or fiend. All figures are
ebony.
2.-Pair of elephants tusks,
mounted as flower vases on a stand
of rosewood covered with ivory. The
tusks are mounted with gold and are
entwined by a pepper vine in fruit,
worked in gold. The vases are sup
ported on two elephants heads carv-
ed in ebony. and rising from out of a
base of rock and jungle worked in
ivory and elephants teeth. The
trunks of the elephants support To-
tus OF ivory. on which is seated a
golden image of Lukshing, the god
dess Of prosperity.

result. rate of one fare and a
fifth for the round trip is in effect

best the intended visitor can do is to
pay the regular fare from kalispell

tinue until next week, 1t is not be-
lieved that reduced rates will be
made from kalispell this year.
