A man has to be too smart to live
to keep up with his own opinion of
himself.
A woman can believe anything nice
man says to her, especially if she
knows it isn't so.
A woman has the faith in her own
love to have faith in somebody else's
that she knows is faithless.
It takes a girl to rub her cheeks
to take paleness out Of them and hold
her hands above her head to put it in
them.
When a man has to read an old
love letter he wrote he feels cheaper
than when his hat blows off in a wind

BETTER FREIGHT RATES ASSURED

Officers Of the Havre Industrial
association have received letters from
Archibald Gray, assistant general
traffic manager Of the Great Northern
road, with headquarters in Butte,
expressing regret over delay in the
proposed change of freight rates
a ffecting this city. The old freight
schedule with determinations against
Havre had existed SO long before it's
abnormalities were pointed out by
the association that it requires long
and careful consideration at general
headquarters in order that justice
may be done to each point Involved
in the change. Mr.. Gray states, how
ever, that the right in Havre's pro-
test is generally recognized, and that
there is no doubt of a proper ADJUST
ment of the tariff as soon as the
details have been thoroughly thresh-
ed over.

PROPOSE A SHAFT In THE
MEMORY OF COL. SANDERS

Ed Mitchell Of the City Pharmacy
was an old friend of EX-United States
Wilbur Il. Sanders, the veteran Mon
tana lawyer and politician, who died
FRIDAY in Helena. He was one of the
first to hear of the death of Montana's
great citizen and immediately wrote
to the Helena Record and suggested
erection of monument in honor of
the dead, to be erected by popular
subscription. The suggestion met
with ready response and the Masons,
of which Col. Sanders was past grand
master, the G.. A. r. of which he was
department commander and the
Montana State Bar association have
taken the project in hand. The Gem
mittee named to perfect organization
Of the Sanders Memorial association
is as follows: T. 2. Sterling, r. g.
Russell, A. J. Galen, Cornelius
Hedges and t. J. Walsh.
All of Col. Sanders family, except
his son Louis, who was seriously Ill In
Butte, were present at his death and
burial. The funeral was held in
Helena Monday and drew a large at
tendance from all over the state. The
Masons conducted the services.
Col. Sanders was probably the best
known citizen Of Montana and his
death has caused mourning in every
city and hamlet of the state.
