A DISPLAY OF QUICK WIT.

The American Saved His Pride and
Observed Russian Etiquette.
The Yankee and the Russian story is
again on its grand rounds, but as all
attempts to name the original Yankee
have failed, says London NJ. A. p,
it Is safe to pin the anecdote to any
prominent American who may have
visited st. Petersburg.
The Russian has been identified as
the Grand Duke Constantine, younger
brother Of the Gear Alexander l., and
the incident occurred about 1910.
The Yankee went out for a walk In
March. when the snow was melting
after sudden rain. The street was a
maze of puddles, divided into sections
by narrow lodges of snow at the cross.
ings, ovcr which pedestrians carefully
felt their way.
The Yankee was just In the middle
of such a bridge when he recog-
nized the Grand Duke Constantine ap-
preaching in the opposite direction.
The path being too narrow for two
persons to pass, the grand duke being
accustomed to every one getting out Of
his way, the Yankee being too courte-
Gus to turn his back on a brother Of
the ear to return whence he came
and too proud to step servilely into the
slush for a mere prince Of the royal
blood-such was the contretemps.
Quick rs a fash our American
whipped out his purse, presented it to
Constantine and asked, "Even or odd?"
"Even," replied the astonished
prince.
you VIM" said the Yankee and
stepped of into a puddle half a leg
deep.
Constantine, highly pleased by this
peculiarly American proceeding, men,
toned it to the car, aud our Yankee
was invited to dine at the palace next
day.

DONLAN FOR GOVERNOR,

The choice of Montana republicans
for governor, as expressed by a ma
jority OF their delegates in state con-
vention, Is Hon. Edward Donlan, the
present state senator from Missoula
county. Senator Donlan is a com.
parative stranger TO most of the peo-
pie of northern Montana except by
reputation, his business interests be-
ing confined to the western part of the
state, hut his personal acquaintance
in this section will be largely increased
during the present campaign.
Senator Donlan came to Montana
from Minnesota in 1892. He went to
Missoula in August Of that year and
worked in west side lumber camps.
In 1895 he entered the lumber business
for himself and has continued in it up
to the present time. He was elected
member of the house from Missoula
in 1900 and the senate in 1902, and
again in 1906. He took an active part
in legislative work of the last three
sessions.
In q recent editorial presenting the
name of Senator DOnlan as an aspi.
rant for the republican nomination
for governor Of Montana, the Mis-
soulian gave the nominee enthusiastic
endorsement in these remarks:
Since William Lindsay's positive
withdrawal from the field, republican
sentiment has certainly cry stall
lied in favor Of Senator Donlan than
any other Of the republicans who had
been mentioned in connection with the
nomin alton. Having served continu.
ously as u member of the legislature
for the past eight years-one term in
the house and two in the senate-no
man in the state IL more intimately
acquainted with state affairs and state
needs, so far as future legislation il
concerned, than he. His Legislative
record mas been able, clean and con-
s%istent. His Legislative career has
marked him neither as a demagogue,
listening to the temporary demands OF
the mob, nor as a tool OF corporate
interests. He has pursued an honest,
str Straightforward course in public at.
fairs, Is he has always done in priv.
ate life. As to his native ability, none
WHO know him will doubt: as an or.
ganizer and leader Of men, his faculty
is undisputed.
That he possesses marked executive
ability. his WI successful business
career bears ample testimony. Tha,
the people OF his own community be.
lieve and trust him, his overwhelming
majorities in successive elections are
unimpeachable evidences: he has scored
over strong, popular men in the cleo
tions OF 1900, 1902 and 1906. DOulau
majorities in western Montana stand
In q class by themselves and have
always shown an increasing ratio.

'"Twice, sah."
"Where?"

"How long We're you there the first

"About two hours, sah."
"IIow long the second time?" asked
the attorney, rather crestfallen.
"An hour, sab. I went there to

Present Giving Worse Than Tipping

The trend Of the times makes itself
felt in the matter Of presents and
present giving. In the days Of our
grandmothers these tokens of affection
were few and far between and We're
marked by a stern simplicity. But we
have changed all that, and the up to
date riot Of presents means a deadly
drain on our bank balances.
The tipping tax is bad enough, but
the burden Of countless presents can
give it points and a beating .-London

than has ever been seen at any of

shown here. The race stables are
more than one hundred strong OF

are here, the class of horses which
has never been seen here before,
and everything now points to the
greatest success of all our fairs.
