Just how much a customer Is willing

Then It's better not to show q colored
stone, such as a ruby or an emerald or

Ferguson's
Mascot.
By HARRIET LUMMIS SMITH.
Copyrighted, 1908. by C. H. sutclifre.

From the first Ferguson had disliked
the pug. The sight of the fat wheezy
little animal following at the heels Of
his pretty next door neighbor awoke
In him an unreasonable desire to prod
that pampered pet with his walking
stick. All of which goes to show that
first impressions are not to be trusted.
Ferguson's interest In the girl next
door was fast approaching the, critical
stage. Perhaps the natural attraction
which beauty holds for youth was
heightened by the fact that the girl
seemed unaware Of his existence. Fer
guson almost resented the darkness Of
her gaze, the Indifferent tilt Of her
chin. He had feeling that If she
should look once she might find 1t
worth her while to look again.
The pug took a hand in the game
one delicious spring day when Fergu-
son, who was supposed to be studying
law In his room, was in reality watch
ing the pink Of the peach blossoms
against the blue Of the sky and feeling
IN his heart vague, exquisite re-
Spouse to the charm of the season.
All at once the current of his
thoughts was changed by an asthmatic
barking in his neighbours back yard.
A black kitten shot across the grass to
the shelter of the peach tree. The
pug waddled after and stood guard be-
low, coughing violently as result Of
his unusual exertions. Then Fergu-
sons pulses thrilled at the sound Of
girlish voice raised in reproachful sum-
mons, "Punch, you wretch, come here
this instantv'
The law books had no chance after
that. Even the peach blossoms became
only the setting Of the picture. The
black kitten In the branches howled
agonizingly. The pretty girl below
called her in dulcet tones which would

Spring CREEK Miners Still OUT

There is no change, SO far as we
can learn, in the Spring Creek coal
miners strike situation. The miners
held meeting in Redmen's hall last
night and discussed the subject very
fully and it was decided to hold out
for their original demands. The men
claim that the price offered them by
the company is utterly inadequate and
that the agreement which was enter
ed into at Helena was made without
any authority from the local union
and that the Lewistown miners did
not even have representative on the
ground at the time the agreement
was entered into.

R. w. Stone, manager of the
Spring Greek mine and the represen,

SO great that it is hard to hold out

Almost enough coal to supply the
immediate demands of the city so
long as too severe weather does not
set in, is being brought in from other
smaller mines near the city The
chief difficulty is that, owing to the
impossible condition of the roads for

covered up with orders and they find
it difficult to take care of their old
orders and look after the new ones

roads do not stop for or go around
tunnels these days.
There is no doubt but that the
Great Northern interests are thor
oughly awake to the tonnage possi-
bilities Of Lewistown and vicinity and
do not intend to stand idly by and
permit the St. Paul to grab all of the
business when they can make
strong bid for it by putting in
twenty mile branch.
While the people Of Lewistown
have no complaint to make against
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
company's treatment of this city,
which has really been most generous,
they are alive to the numerous az
vantages of having competing lines
running into the city. The building
of the line itself, especially if it is to
be extended down toward the eastern
border, will mean the expenditure Of
tens Of thousands of dollars in this
county, creating a lively demand for
hay, oats and all sorts of supplies
raised by the ranchcr or sold by the
merchant and that will give decided
impetus to business in all lines.
St. Paul Not Yet Through.
According to dispatch from New
York, the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul company are planning to begin
very shortly on a line which shall
leave the present track near Dorsey
and cAt across to Great Falls. Sur
veyors have been running levels over
through Meaghcr county for several
weeks and it is said that very low
grade can be secured by following
the valley of Smith river northward
across Meagher into Cascade county.
Such a line will open up a big coun-
try OF vast mineral and agricultural
possibilities.

Preparations are being made
throughout the city for the proper
observance for Thanksgiving which

wives of the city will be laying il

According to the merchants, hun
dreds of turkeys will be offered up
on the altar Of Gour-mand, tooth
some sacrifices to the Thanksgiving

Church Services.
1t must not be thought, however,
that the dinner is the most important
thing about the national holiday.
There will be church services to
place all who care to attend in true
accord with the real spirit Of the day.
The Methodist, Presbyterian and
