steyensyille. Mont, Aug. II.

Stevensville, Mont, Aug. IL.
The Idaho edition is at hand. and
II is a big success. and I feel proud
to think that we have those at the
helm to make Il so.
But can we, as a party, hold up our
hands and say we did IL?
Let all who feel that they did their
part. hold up their right hand. Those
who did not do their part, hold up
their left hand. whew! What a
great majority we have. Many say
they like to be with the majority, but
I do not, in this case, 1 admit.
But the rights do look lonesome
without more with them.
Now, comrades. want 10 offer q
suggestion to the state convention. As
I look for a good many to be there.
and every dollar counts for the party,
and I am pretty sure that there Is In
Helena a restaurant or other good
eating house run by a Socialist, who.
to get the run of the convention, would
give us a good discount on the meals
and beds-eat and slept in by clean
lot of working folk as will be there.
And the rake-off TO go to help the
Montana News.
So l move that Comrade Mabie as a
committee of one to act and look into
the matter and report at the first
meeting of the convention. And in
case he is away. Comrade Graham can
act or get someone else to do so.
And I am sure that I could find a
place to put all that could be saved, so
that II would help some one.
We should have as many as fifty and
could we get rake-off, say at 2sc or
more per capita. 1t would look good
to hungry Socialist on a rainy day.

DISCRIMINATING Head Hunters.

All efforts to subdue the head
hunters" of Formosa having been un-
successful, a campaign of extermina-
tion has been entered upon, and now
when q company of head hunters is To-
Gated the place is surrounded by a
wire fence. The wires are charged
with electricity. The soldiers begin
to shoot; the savages stampede, and
then the deadly wires get those that
the bullets miss. There are about
100000 of these head hunters infest-
ing the eastern coast of the island,
and all efforts to make them desirable
citizens have failed. They recently
lured party of 800 Japanese and
Chinese into an ambush and killed
them all but three, for the mere pleas
ure of killing.

Trees Planted by Insects.

The uses of worms in wood and
field have been discovered by G. A.
Andrews. 1t has long been known
that squirrels aid the forester by
burying nuts, of which some sprout
and ultimately develop into trees, but
that also he is indebted to earth
worms for like services is knowledge
new. 1t appears that the dry fiat
fruits Of the silver maple are frequent
ly used by worms to plug the aper-
lures of their burrows in the fashion
long since described by Darwin. In
districts too dry for them to germi-
nate under ordinary conditions GER
tain proportion of maple seeds thus
drawn into their holes by the worms
were found to sprout and grow into
seedlings, and, although these slti-
mately perlshed under the influence
of the late summer drought, Mr.. An
drews thinks that under less unfavor-
able conditions certain number
would survive. He believes that by
planting trees worms more than
amend the damage with which
they are credited through destroying
seedlings In the gardens.

Talented German Empress.

Empress Augusta Victoria is thor
oughly womanly woman. but she is by no
means the mere hausfrau that she is
often supposed to be. In fact, she
has decidedly artistic tastes and is
sculptor and painter of no mean
ability. In her husbands study at
Potsdam there is lifelike bust of
the emperor In bronze and several
of her sons have been portrayed by
her In marble. Her majesty is very
fond of beautiful fans and she las
some valuable specimens of them.
Many were gifts from the emperor.
and one was made of feathers of the
grouse that fell to his gun. Some
others, beautifully painted, bear the
signatures of great artists.

ALL USED WOODEN TaEncHERs.
Substitutes for crockery Ware Nearly
Two Hundred Years Ago.

Our readers may like to be remind
ed of how comparatively late in our
history the absence of cheap crockery
kept the wooden trencher in use. In
the eighteenth century. silver in the
dining room and pewter below stairs
were abundant for all dinner table use
in large and wealthy households.
But that the number OF metal plates
and dishes was insufficient to meet
the requirements of extraordinary oc-
casions is seen in a description of a
dinner given by Lord Nation to his
tenants In 1873.
1t was at Woodhouse that the feast
takes place at which we hear that
"'tis an out OF the way thing, the
people are to dine upon wooden dish
es; they cut down wood on purpose
to make them Of"
One OF the company describes the
affair in letter to the Lord Straf-
ford OF the time, Lord Nations neigh
Dor at Wentworth castle.
There was in the prayer hall efx
tables made OF deals with benches,
such as in the tents att Boughton
fair. Att four of them there might be
about 80 people. the other two some
thing above half the number. the
tables being less.
Our dishes stood single, the table
allowing no, more; first dish. roast
porke; End, turkey; 3rd. venison pas
ty; 4th, cold beefe, roast; 9Th, fruit
pudding; 9Th, goose; 7th, aple pye;
9th, hogg's head in souce: SO then
the course began again, and kept in
this forme to every table.
1--WE cate upon trenchers and wood
dishes, and drunk in horns; my lord
did the same. The horns held near
pints and the punch was made strong
and the common people drunk full
horns just after dinner that or
horns would make them drunk or
sick"
1t Is noticeable that ale was drunk
at my lords table. but as he was re-
puted not to keep amy great stock
of malt drink" punch was served at
all other tables as being "the cheap
est liquor to make treat Of"
"a treat" meant taking too much,
and this was so successfully accom-
plished that there was one man
found dead. supposed to be choaked
with punch. Life.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in
manner to enhance their textile beau

given to starching. the first essential
being good Starch. which has sufn ncient
strength to stiffen, without thickening

Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great

The Elbert County tribune., 1908-02-20

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch. being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish. equal to that when the
goods were new.

HACKENSCHMIDT HERE.
Russian Lion" Arrives to Prepare
for Match With Frank Gotch.

NEW YORK, March 14-Georges Hack
enschmidt. the champion wrestler OF the
world. arrived on the Lusitania yesterday
afternoon to prepare for his match with
Frank Gotch, which will take place at
Dexter's Pavilion, Chicago. April 3. He
was met at the Cunard pier by W. w
Wfttig who arranged the match between
the worlds champion and the champion
Of America, and was taken by him to the
Hotel Astor. where he will make his
headquarters during his stay in this city.
A crowd of at least thousand persons
lined West street and cheered the cham
p!on as he climbed into a waiting auto
mobile. One enthusiast fought his way
to the step of the machine and insisted
that Hackenschmidt write his name in the
autograph album which he presented. The
Russian lion" consented. with laugh,
and ELECTED another cheer by his readi-
ness to meet the wishes of his casual
acquaintance.
On his arrival at the hotel Hacken-
schmidt discussed the possibilities of the
approaching contest in manner at once
frank and modest.
First he said 81 should like to have
1t understood by all the people of Ameri-
ca that, whatever may be the outcome of
the match between Gotch and myself. it
will be an absolutely square contest in
which the best man will win. I know
that there have been wrestling matches
In which this was not actually the case.
