after a while he would get tired and
crawl out. But he fooled me; he was
a slayer from way back. Finally it
got moo and then dark and still
neither one OF us volunteered to get
up, hungry as we both were. The
next morning found us more stubborn
than ever, for we were now both mad
through and through. Again we spent
the night as we had the one before,
but we didn't sleep much. We were
getting tired as well as hungry. The
second morning dawned, with Hank
as contrary as ever, and l wasn't much
better, until about noon, when l
thought Hank was manifesting d de-
sire to end the foolishness by getting
up, as he commenced to wiggle and
squirm. Thinking he had caved in,
l gave a sudden and mighty lurch and
kicked OFF blankets, snow and willows
and scrambled onto my feet, so stiff
and sore that l could scarcely stand.
Hank wasn't long in following me,
but the ornery cuss declared that l
had weakened first; that. he had had
no intention of getting up and had
merely moved to get into a more COM
Portable position when l got out"
The spirit of commercialism seems
to have taken possession of the youth
of the city with the anne violence
that the desire to ''go in swimmin'"
manifests itself with the first approach
of warm weather. Even the girls
have fallen victim to the ambition to
amass sudden wealth and n not
much behind their brothers in chas-
ing the elusive nickel. Some OF the
juvenile business people and possibly
future j. Pierpont Morgans and Hetty
Greens have a variety OF ways to make
money. Soliciting for a cheap maya

a premium for securing a certain num-
Der of subscribers proved a temptation
too strong for many to resist and for

Monthly limerick? It'll cost you only

is the salutation. If the person ap-
pearing is a lady it makes no differ
ence to the little solicitor, she is asked
to subscribe with Inc same eagerness
manifested when it is the head OF
the family who is appealed to. The

to many homes that have been rem
4dered dark and sad through the events
that have occurred at Butte recently,
the people of this part of the state
are glad that the governor has seen
fit to call the legislature to convene
in extraordinary session. Only so far
are they interested. For the quarrels
between rival corporations and the
charges and counter charges they
make against one another they care
nothing. AS to the merits of the con-
troversies that have kept the state in
q turmoil and have given employment
to numberless lawyers and brought
courts into %disrepute they have no
opinion. They are not affected by any
of those considerations. Although it
is repeatedly saio and claimed that
the shutdown at Butte has been so
widespread in it's effects that it reach
es all parts of the state, for all they
have known or felt in consequence
or results the people of Billings and
Yellowstone county have yet to learn

While they have been forced to
share in the disgrace that men and
factions of Butte have brought onto
the state; the people of eastern Mon.
tana have never shared in any OF
the material benefits that accrue to
other parts because of the ~stupendous
Industrial operations carried on there.
Their part has only been the bad,
the good has never reached them.
The markets for their products are
elsewhere and the fruit their efforts
and labor reap are found in another
direction. 1t is only in times when
political campaigns are fought and
when sympathy and aid are asked
that the men of eastern Montana are
ever permitted to enter into the plans
and thoughts of those on the other
side of the mountains. For all else the

A Polite Denial.

Everybody knows the man who is
careful never to say mo" abruptly in
answer to a question. NO is hard
word, but one may sometimes be made
ridiculous by reluctance to utter it,
says an exchange.
A certain man who had this habit
was once met by two ladies who had
been discussing the popularity, and one
of them said that she was positive she
could make him say ooh, nor fatty.
So she addressed him thus:
"Let me see, Mr.. Smith; you are a
widower, are you not?"
"As much a widower, madam" he
answered, with a polite inclination of
his head, las it is possible for man to
be who has never married"

Marble Dealers took effect in the Pitts
burg district. 1t is estimated here that
5000 men throughout the country are

in all shops that they will be closed

that every individual twig, spray, all
