HARRY KELLY IN HELENA.
Democrat Man Shows Mothcr-in-iaw
Sights of the Capital City.

Harry J. Kelly, of the Fergus Coun-
ty Democrat, but well known IN ever
Montana town, passed through Helena
today en- route to the Bitter Root val
ley, accompanied by his mother in
law, Mrs. B. F. See, who lives near
Hamilton, but who has been visiting
her daughter in Lewistown.
Mr. Kelly has worked on every con-
sidera BILE newspaper in the state, large
ly in the capacity of a co1npositor, and
until recently has been joint owner in
the Fergus County Democrat, says the
Daily Record of Helena. He is still
connected with that excellent news
paper as foreman of the composing
room, but has disposed of his interest
He states that the Democrat is pre-
pairing to construct a new $40, 900 builc-
ing and will equip it with a muc1
more modern plant. Fergus count,
he says, is going forward by leaps AMI
bounds and everyone is in the heyday
| of prosperity.
Mr.. Kelly's mother-in-law WIS
among the first women ever to cone
to Helena. Accompanied by her hui
band, she came to Helena in 1864, L.
C ating in Grizzly gulch, just south If
the city. The following year she with
her husband went to Madison count,
where they engaged in the cattle bu-
mess, but shortly aflerward they mo-
ed to the Bitter Root section, on Sleeo-
ing Child creek. and have remand
there ever since. Her husband his
been one of the leading cattle breedGs
of that portion of the state since that
time and at the age of 76 is still as &C.
tive and healthy as he was thi ty
years ago.
Mrs. See is now 68 years of age and
with the exception of passing through
the city two weeks ago, en- route to
Lewis town, has never visited Hel,na
since she left here over forty yars
ago, during which time Helena has
been practically built from a few
frame shacks and few tents, int. a
city.
With her son-in-law she visited var.
ions points of interest this morning
before taking the westbound train and
marveled at the transformation hat
has taken place in these years of her
absence.

First Flower Of Spring.

In the northern United States the
snowdrop is the only garden flower
that we can count on year after year
as the earliest sign of spring lts
pendulous white blossoms. with
'heart-shaped seal of green" sung by
Rossetti often appear before the last
snow has gone.
Luckily, even city families need not
be without snowdrops, for they have
been known to thrive in narrow pas
sageways between all houses. MOST
dubious plants like the baking hot sun
of midsummer in order to ripen their
bulbs, but the snowdrop thrives best
in partial shade.
It blooms earlier II it has chance
at the March sun. but IL one OF the
very few that will flower regularly.

The natural grain in wood is too beau

in staining have taken the place oil

contains no varnish. Many OF the
stains sold in the stores are apt to
contain varnish, and they do not sink
into the wood enough to bring out
the beautiful grain. Stain can be
used with best effect on new WOOD
Some of the most attractive living
rooms have the wood work stained
forest-green, old blue, or silver-gray
Do not let the painter convince you
that the wood work will look better
painted. Some the woods that take
stain well are oak, cypress, Georgia
pine, and birch. In some country
houses the furniture is ordered from
the factory in an unfinished condition,
and is then stained at home by some
one who understands this work.
Some housekeepers think zorn 10

Open the husks, remove the silk, re-
