made many good friends among them.
She has steadfastly maintained from
the first that they should come to her
wedding, and finally gained her point,
just as all her friends predicted.
The order for the wedding break
fast, which will be served in the state
dining room, has been given to a prom
inent Washington caterer. AS great
secrecy is shrouding the design Of the
brides cake as that which for a time
enveloped her wedding gown.
After all the talk for and against,
1t was decided to use the presidents
seal on the wedding invitations. The
invitation is on the regulation plain,
heavy white paper, with the familiar
eagle with outspread wings and tiny
stars, just like the design on the sill

Unum and the streamer), heavily en-
bossed in plain white at the top. The
line, "An Answer is Requested" is en-
graved at the bottom. A small card
also is inclosed in the invitation, which
requests the holder to be present at
the White House on the wedding day
at the eastern entrance" The invi.
tation is not folded but placed in a
large envelop, with the words white

CLEMENTS IS
STURDY JUDGE
HELENA JURiST TAKES A RAP
AT FRiPPERY IN THE
COURT.

Helena, Feb. 1.-Judge j. NJ. Glen
ehts upon convening court in his de-
partment today, expressed dislike OF
the custom of spectators and attach
es arising upon the entrance of the
judge into the court room. AS had
been his custom, upon the entrance
of Judge Clements, Bailiff Felix In
gram, who is acting for Captain Sut-
ton, gave a resOunding rap of his
gavel, whereupon all present rose to
their feet. Upon Judge Clements TAX
ing his seat and the spectators and
others doing likewise, Judge Clements
Immediately arose and said:
Il observe upon opening court that
the people arise to their feet. and |
desire to say that the rule requiring
people in The room to stand does not
prevail in this department; that | do
not approve of it as a rule. | regard
il as one of those things handed
down from medieval times-times
when tinsel and flumery were INDUCED
in to Overawe the common people
and in this enlightened age of uni
yersal education such aristocratic sub
terfuSes should be dispensed with.
That sort of Difference paid to a judge
upon entering a court room does not
enlarge his brain, ripen his wisdom or
fortify his integrity or enable him
to prevent the strong from trampling
upon the weak
True dignity does not demand it,
and enlightened lawyers of this day
do not approve of it. 1t is only the
fawning and obsequous element among
lawyers that approves of it and those
who desire back door entrances to
the judge. Personally, l like to see
every citizen preserve his own self
respect by refusing to pay any flimsy
Difference to public official. l want
no man to cringe to me or feed out
of my hand. A man who will feed
from another's hand is a coward, and
a public official who will permit it
is apt to be despotic. I do not say
this to persons in the room through
a spirit of criticism. but only to re
mind you that when I enter the dig
nified remain seated"

THE COMING WEDDING.
The Wishes of Miss Alice Will Be
Carried Out.

Washington. Feb. 1.-President and
Mrs. Roosevelt have issued their invi-
tations to the wedding of Miss Roose-
welt and Representative Longworth OF
Ohio. which is to take place at noon
on February II, as already announ-
ced.
Official Washington will be repre-
sented at the wedding ceremony and
breakfast. This has been definitely
determined upon. 1t has been decid-
ed to accede to Miss Alice's wishes and
have an official wedding, This means
the display of much gold lace. many
decorations and an atmosphere i'm
posing and picturesque. All the dip
lomats in Washington have been ask
ed, and high officials of the govern
ment are included in the list. The
invitations have been held down to
about 500. This will comfortably fill
the big east room, where the ceremony
is to be performed. Ont of the re-
naming cards the relatives and inti-
mate friends of the two families are
provided for.

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.
Protest Against Putting It in Opera

Protest Against Putting It in Opera.
tion in Fergus.
Garneill, Mont, Jan. 25, 19O6.-There
are several good reasons why the pri-
mary election is not necessary to Fer
gus county. The primaries are not
held at time of year when farmers
and farm laborers can attend, and
would, therefore, we believe, give the
more thickly settled sections, particu-
larly Lewistown, Kendall and Gilt
Edge, an unjust advantage in placing
their candidates on the ballot.
It would require prospective can
didate to devote all summer and fall
to his election. We believe in party
leaders, as, with their experience, COM
petent men, are more liable to be put
up for nomination. We don't believe
in bosses, neither do we think there
are any in Fergus county. The Off
GERS of Fergus county are all good,
capable men, and they were put there
by the wishes of the majority of the
voters, without any primary election.
A primary election will cost Fergus
county, say $4,000, and that for an ex-
pertinent.
Our advice is: Don't sign any pc.
tition advocating primary election,
while it may be all right in some Sec
tions of the state, it is unnecessary and
will be very unsatisfactory to the
voters of Fergus county. Remember,
you are not privileged to vote for rep
resentative or state officers at the pri-
maries. Are you willing to pay IS,
900 to vote for few county officers
Will it pay? It won't hurt to wait
couple of years, and see how the
primary election law works in the
few counties that are experimenting
with it. "OBSERVER."

How Willie Cracked Them.

Willie's sister, Warwick boule
ward young woman was having a
small party few evenings ago and
the time for refreshments came. In
stead of the usual ice cream, cake,
ETC.. the girl had provided something
different" Pumpkin pie, fruit, cider
and chestnuts were served. Willie
was on hand assisting in the eating.
When the chestnuts were passed the
girl said:
IT can't vouch for these. I told
Willie to be sure and throw out the
bad ones. Did you do it, Willie?"
"Bet did," said Willie, gulpiing
down mouthful of pie.
Eyes, 1 guess you did," said the girl.
"And, Willie, you cracked them beau
tifully."
"Bet l did," came from Willie.

THE MAIDENS
OF C0RKVlLLE
MINSTREL PERFORMANCE By THE
LADIES THE BIGGEST KIND
OF A SUCCESS.

The great big audience that assem-.
hled at the opera house Tuesday night
to witness the minstrel performance
by "The Maide of Corkville" did so
with distinct misgivings as to the re-
suit. It is necessary to make this
statement in order that the surprise
OF the audience may be understood
when, instead of witnessing something
family reminiscent Of minstrel
snow, the spectators suddenly realiz
ed that the real thing was being serv-
ed up to them, and that all others
were base limitations. Perhaps the
burnt cork accounted for it, but at
any rate, these maids went at their
work just as though they had done
nothing else since emerging from
their respective nurseries, and the
way they handed the tobasco around
was a caution. The performance op-
ened. of course, with the usual "refin-
ed olio,' and within five minutes the
Ole story that every joke sprung on
the minstrel stage had its origin in
Joe Miller's Joke Book was shat
tered tradition. The maids on the
end kept the audience in a roar with
a line of jokes right out or the ginger
jar, and they played no favorites.
Sam Phillips, George Wiedeman, Os-
valid Lehman, Will White and score
of other gay young blades got their
Eeedings to the intense delight of all
who escaped. Yet jokes We're but an
appetizer. The rest of the olio was
right up to Jack Hayerley's standard,
and the songs and dances, as well as
the chorus work, were applauded to
the echo. Everything was encored
and this part of the program came to
an end in a bit of chorus work that
was really fine.
In their sunflower and rose bud cos
tunes, and masked by the burnt cork,
the maids looked SO much alike that
it is said they had to wear numbers
to identify each other, and the audien-
ce was completely bewildered for a
long time. The only white face in the
circle was that of Miss Prim Rose,
who made a most dignified and impres.
sive interlocutor, showing that certain
gifts run in families.
