In MemOriam.

Howard B. Matthews, Born Nov. 3,
1888. Died Feb. 6, 1905, at 9:3O a. m., :,
aged 10 yrs. 3mo. 3 days.
He died peacefully and calmly, re.
tanning consciousness till the last
He was patient and unmurmuring
through his many weeks of sickness
and suffering. Seeming conscious for
several days that the end was near,
he was ready for his final summons to
the better land, where sin and suffer
ing are unknown.
He was an exemplary son and broth
er, lovable and trusting in disposition,
free from evil habits, such as the use
of liquor or tobacco.
AS student he had a keen and re-
ceptive mind and was an indefat-
igable worker, though never strong
physically. His main thous hit and
ambition was to get an education in
order that he might be of some use to
| his generation, hoping some time to
be machinlst. He certainly gave
promise of being good man and use.
full citizen, surely the highest goal that
any can strive for. By his blameless
conduct and kindly ways he gained the
love and admiration of not only his
teacher, but of his schoolmates and
associates.
| Though we miss him and our hearts
are made heavy by the thought thai
he will be with us no more, yet we are
glad in the thought that he has enter
ed upon a life of unending oppor
tunity, where instead of trials and diff
ficulties and the drawbacks of thi!
life, he may pursue his favorite past
time of gaining knowledge with ever,
facility afforded by kind and lovins

Speaking of Vinegar.

The Rocky Mountain Husbandman,
printed at Great Falls, contains the
following:
Thomas McClain, manufacturer OF
pure vinegar and malt vinegar in the
Bitter Root valley says that his pro-
duct cannot be sold in competition
with the acid vinegars and that as
long as Montana people are content to
use acid vinegars it will be useless to
run factory for cider or malt vine
gars in Montana. The remedy lies in
the people demanding q pure whole
some article of food. 1t was asserted
at the fruit growers meeting that
there was now scarcely a barrel OF
cider vinegar on tap in grocery house
IN Montana. Should the Legislature
pass pure food law it may be differ
ent. Consumers will probably buy
apple vinegar when they find out wha
other products are made Of"

RENEWED ACTIVITY ON THE PART
OF ANTI-SALOONISTS.
AL DE ROCHE ACQUITTED AT FLORENCE
Testify That They Bought
"Bitters" and Jury Finds De.
fendant Not Guilty.

Renewed activity on the part of the
Anti Saloon league is anticipated by
the saloon men Of Ravalli county and
the thirsty stranger is subjected to a
rigid ''sizing- up'' by the wary mix
iologlsts.
Last week two young men of Stew
ensville, employed as detectives, start
ed to make a tour of the county to col
lect evidence of violations of the local
option law. Their plan was to buy
"sealed goods or bottles of whiskey
and label the same before leaving the
pr emises. 1t is understood they made
good in couple of the lower valley
villages. When they arrived at Ham
ilton the saloonists had received a tip
and the detectives met with a chilly
reception, whereupon they abandoned
the trip and returned to Stevensville.
The moving spirits of the Anti-Sa-
loon league are still nfident of secur-
ing some convictions, however. They
claim that some of the officials elected
last fall on the republican ticket were
pie dyed both before the primaries and
the election to close the saloons if
electe and they propose to keep prod
ding them until they make good.'
De Roche Acquitted.
The trial of AL De Roche, accused of
violating the local option law, held at
Florence last Wednesday resulted in
the acqulttal OF rne uercna.-.
De Roche was tried before Justice
John A. Jameson. The jury consisted
of h. t. Peterson, Anthony Morris,
Arthur Granger, c. H. Dodge, Ed
Riley and S. G. Lidge. County At
torney c. B. Calkins prosecuted the
case and Chas. H. Hall of Missoula,
represented the defendant. The trial
con sumed the entire afternoon.
John 7. Green, the first witness,
testified that he entered De Roche's
thirst parlors and stepping up to the
bar called for drink of whiskey. De
Roche told him that he did not keep
whiskey but carried nice line of bit
ters. Green then partook Of the bit.
ters. He said he was already pretty
drunk and didn't know whether he was
served with bitters or not
James Morris, J. S. White and Ed
Ensign drank with Green out of the
same bottle and all swore that the
"bitters'' was whiskey and that Green
paid for the drinks"
No witnesses were placed on the
stand by the defense and after argu-
ment by counsel the jury brought in a
verdict of acquittal and De Roche was
discharged from custody.
A large crowd had been attracted to
Florence by the trial and soon after
the verdict was rendered a regular
Fourth of July celebration ensued.
Anvils and guns were fired and all
kinds of frivolity INDUCED in.
1t is understood that De Roche's ar
rest was the sequel of a misunder-
standing between he and the COM
planning witness over business trans
action and which resulted in the citi-
zens of the vicinity taking sides.''

Apple Pie.

When our cook she makes pie,
You oughter to see her fingers fly,
She sits an holds a weller bowl,
An stirs so fast she keeps hole
Down through the middle of the stutf,-
There's milk an egg, an flour
enough
And maybe other things, but
Ferget just all that makes pie!
When our cook she makes pie,
She rolls the dough that, by an by,
Is two round blankets; then you'll see
Her slice some apples evenly.
Plump into bed she makes 'em hop.
An cuts some peep-holes through the
top,
So they won't smother when they lie
All warm an suggared in the pie.
When our cook she makes a pie,
She balances the plate up high,
And with pleasant snippy sound
She trims it nicely all around.
And when she's thumbed the edges
tight
The apples can't get up at night.
But when she's baked it, then, oh
my!
You never ct such apple pie!
