while the girl who had pleased all

unraveled. They were her American
cousins. Later the relative told me

HEALTH OF srAoEFoLk.
Many Stars Careful to Keep in Good
Physical Condition.
A STAGE BEAUTY

When Richard Carle was 12 years
old he attempted to smoke one of his
fathers cigars out in the barn. Some
boys came along and began to spin
tops. Little Richard began to4feel the
effects of the cigar and his head be-
came dizzy and one top seemed like a
thousand spinning on the floor. From
that day Mr.. Carle never has smoked,
and he believes that his continued
good health is largely due to this fact,
as well as habit he has formed of
drinking cold water between the acts.
In spite of much hard work David
Warfield has not had a breakdown for
many years, and he attributes his good
health to the fact that he daily takes
long walks and In this way fills his
lungs with good air and counteracts
the bad effects OF the impure air in
the theater.
A well known physician in speaking
of Francis Wilson once said; "No
wonder the rascal is so healthy; he
never eats anything" 1t is true that
the comedian is not heavy eater and
never touches tea, coffee, or liquors
of any kind and does not smoke.
John Drew says that an actor or an
actress must keep in good physical
condition to stand the hard work nee
essary in the profession. He spends
much time in the open air and con
siders tennis as one of the best games
conducive to health.
William Fl. Crane is an enthusiastic
yachtsman and he is also great walk
er, never walking less than six miles
a day. It. is to this outdoor life that
he owes his excellent health.
During her vacation Annie Russell
endeayors to build herself up physi.
cally and to accumulate enough mus
Gle and energy to stand the travelling
and hard work OF the coming season
She often rides 25 miles a day, and as
she enters into any sport with The
greatest enthusiasm she gets the full
est benefit from 1t.
Amelia Bingham has a large capac-
ity for hard work and the reason she
always is so well is that sne is sys
tematic in her work. She says: 81
study the clock so as to utilize every
minute" Another actress who Is most
regular in her habits is Viola Allen
who says: "A success on the stage is
based on physical welfare"
AS much as is possible Julia Mar
lowe lives out OF doors She is marvel
ously strong and has had but few
days of illness, which is due to hel
careful living and much exercise.

TOWN GETS ABOUT $500
FROM RAILROAD

Through the efforts of former Mayor
A. f. Long, the town of Whitefish this
week received check for $776.12 from
the Great Northern railroad, and has al
so received smaller amount, which runs
the total up to nearly $780,,
When the town Of Whitefsh was in
corporated the railroad company's prop
erty was left out of the incorporation, SO
that the company is not bound to pay
any taxes to the town, and no part Of
the burden of paying for the water works
system comes upon it. Shortly before
retiring from office, Mr.. Long pointed
out to the company officials that they
were interested in the water works svs-
tenn, as it gave protection to the COM
pany's property here, although because
of the conditions existing they were ex-
empt from paying ANYTHING towards the
installation of the system.
A considerable time has elapsed since
the former mayor began his endeavors to
convince the company that they should
contribute something towards the water
system, and many thought that nothing
would come of his efforts, but he kept
the matter constantly in hand, and the
town has now been rewarded in the
amount stated. The money comes at a
time when it is most acceptable to the
town. The amount received is in the
nature of refund Of large part of the
freight charges upon the water works
equipment.

REPUBLICANS
HARMONIOUS GATHERING AT
THE COUNTY SEAT
GOOD TICKET NOMINATED
One Hundred and Three Dele
gates, from All Parts of
the County, fleet and
Select the Winning
Ticket

The republican county convention
met in Kalispell on Monday, 1O3 dele
gates being present, when one of the
strongest tickets that ever went before
the people of Flathead county was put
in the field. From top to bottom good
men haye been named for the various
positions, and in the coming election
they should all be winners. The conven-
ton, unlike some others, was remarkably
free from cliques, factions and states;
in fact, SO much SO that the circumstance
was considerably commented upon, fol-
lowing, as it did, upon the late demo-
cratic miX-up. From all parts of the
county the delegates came with single
ness of purpose to put the best candidates
obtainable on the ticket, with just
recognition of geographical location.
Harmony reigned supreme. As one
passed through the doors of the conven-
ton hall and beheld the assemblage it
seemed almost like passing through the
pearly gates into the land where all is
joy, and many comments along this line
were heard. OF course such comments
probably emanated mostly from republi-
cans, as democrats are not popularity
supposed to know much about the
pearly gates.
The convention was called to order by
J. NJ. Parker, chairman of the county
central committee, and the call was read
by Secretary B. Jones.
A temporary organization was then
formed, with P. N. Bernard as chairman.
Percy F. Dedds and Sam Wallace were
nominated for secretary. Mr.. Dodds de-
clined the nomination, however, and Mr..
Wallace was elected by acclamation. E..
A. Southwick was elected as assistant
secretary.
In taking the chair Mr. Bernard made
patriotic address, full of good, sound
doctrine and eloquence. When he men
toned the names of Carter, Dixon and
Pray the convention voiced its approval
in deafening applause, and when he
spoke of VIM. Taft the shingles ratified
and the whole bailding trembled with an
applause which was of the genuine order,
but not timed and manipulated with any
view towards breaking the long distance
records.
Committees were then appointed
as follows:
