All walking skirts, whether in cot

A garniture much in favor with

Almost every one is young. and all are

Many of the small girls coats this
summer are made of pique or linen

cunning sunbonnets of pique and

Another model is of heavy but fine

a contrary line If we continue to draw

The secret of how it has been that
some of the eastern mall order houses
which have done business in Montana
and elsewhere were able to undersell
local merchants on some lines of gro
ceries has been revealed. The revela-
ton has come about through the oper-
alton of the national pure food law.
One of the big mail order concerns,
which has done a great business in
Montana. makes the announcement
that it has closed its grocery depart
ment. giving in circular its reason
for doing so because its maintenance
has been made impracticable by the
pure food laws just passed by con
gress.''

that the consumers have been fur
nished with adulterated food stuffs
when they ordered groceries. then the
English language is not understand
able. BY selling the stun that has
been put under the ban because OF Its
impurity. the mail order concerns
have been able to undersell the local
merchants living hundreds Of miles

man and miner in his vicinity. but
the consumer. who has been caught
by the cheap prices offered, has
not got what he has been paying for
by long way, and there is nc way
for him to get even.
AS 1t has proved with the groceries
sent out by the eastern mail order
houses, so 1t is with the other lines
they work off in Montana. The sad
dies and harness offered at phenom-
enally low prices, the buggies and
wagons. at prices which seem almost
like giving the vehicles away, the
kitchen utensils which are priced in
the voluminous catalogues at figures
that indicate the local merchants are
highway robbers, the dry goods that
are offered at such infinitesimal cost
as to compel the ordinary woman to
believe the mail order man is public
benefactor. all of these eastern mail
order house offerings are on Q par
with the proved quality of the gro-
ceries they have been selling-fraudu-
lent and put out to sell and not for
service. The confession on the gro-
ceries should make the eastern mail
order house patrons think before they
send OF another order for cheap
goods. Record

A tradition still survives in Luzerne
county, Pa, that when Gen. John
Sullivan marched through that region
in 1879 on his expedition against the
Indian confederacy of central New
York, he buried some superfluous
brass cannon along the wilkes-Bayre
mountain. To search for these revolu-
tionary relics a number of the best
known citizens of Ashley have formed
themselves into an historical society.
One recent Sunday the members
secured the mountain in the vicinity
of Laurel Run, but could find no relics
except few Indian arrow points.
