P.upers, Paradise,

The authorities of Samoa, the little island upon which Robert Louis Ste venson lived. and died, provide board and lodging absolutely free to stran- gers who are unable or unwilling to pay for their keep Every village on the island has a/guest house, called "faletale." and here the tourist is in- vited to come and be fed, lodged and entertained without any payment whatever.
 The officials of the town of Klingen- berg-on-the- Main, in Bavaria, are ex- ceptionally generous, for they not only provide free beds md free board to poor people, but give away big pud- dings every year end to all who ask for them. Klingenberg owns several pottery clay pits that bring in so much money to the town coffers that they pay all the town expenses and leave a good round sum over which is dis tributed to charity. Klingenberg is one of the few places where taxes are unknown

 A couple of Kansas men were talk. ing of fearlessness the. other day. "Au this talk" said one of them, reminds me of peace officer I knew a number of years ago in western Kansas. This officer was entirely feariess-in fact, the kind of chap who would have charged hades with single bucket of water. To look down into the barrel of a gun in the other fellows hand was as placidly accepted an affair for him as to light his. pipe He was sent for one day.
 "'What's the matter?' he asked
 Cowboy in that room.' said citi- zen, designating the place. He's wild and dangerous. He's locked himself in, and we're afraid he'll break out and do us harm
 .'So this officer opened the door of the room and looked in. The cowboy had a six shooter in one hand and a stick of dynamite in the other and calmly remarked that he would turn them both loose in case the officer came into the roorr The officer con sidered the thing for minute. Then he backed away and as he did so re marked: "Tet him sleep it of. They is times when a man who ain't afraid is a blind fool'"--Kansas City Journal.

line suits are to go hurrylng out now.

There could be no better time to pick a new suit at regular price than right now. The entire Winter sea- son is ahead for it's wearing.
 But the store rule is to clear up fine suits early in the season. We do not be- leve in holding them till wearing-time is practically over and then offering a so- called bargain. Really, such a ''bargain" is no bargain at all. This store believes in making a low price at a time when it is. really to a worn- ans advantage to buy; when she will get extra-ful meas ure for her money. This is one of the times when that rule is enforced-and large savings on suits of beauty and individuality are placed before you as a result.
 Instead of buying at reg ular price, you may buy at a large saving. In fact, choice is offered from practically all the fine suits in the store

TO MEET

Last Thursday night was the reg
ular monthly meeting of the Fire
Department, but the majority of
the members were CONSPICUOUS by
their absence. In fact so much SO
that a meeting could not be held,
so for this reason there will be
special meeting this evening and it
is hoped that there will be a good
attendance as there is business of
special Importance that must be
attended to.
. Most of the members seem to
have forgotten that the regular
meeting nights are the second
Thursday of each month, so the
secretary has been instructed to
send out post card notices to all the
members and it is hoped that they
are interested enough in the COM
pany so that there will good turn
out this evening.
For the benefit Of those who
have probably mislaid their con-
stitution and bylaws it would not
be amiss to quote a few articles
from it that will probably remind
those who have been delinquent
what is expected of them.
Article XI, Section 5.-Every
member shall be required to attend
the meetings of the company reg
ularly and observe strict decorum
thereat.
Sections of the bylaws. Section
2.-For non-attendance at regular
or annual meeting, a fine of 25c
will be imposed.
Section 3.-For attendance
at regularly called clean up,
fine Of 75c will be imposed.
Section 4.-For failure to respond
to an alarm of fire, fine of 81 will
be imposed.
Section 5.-Any member who
shall refuse or habitually neglect to
serve the company at fires shall be
liable to be expelled from the
company.

DEATH OF MRS.
J. A. SAMSON

Mrs. J. A. Samson, wife of the
we'll known Great Northern tie con-
tractor passed peacefully into the
world beyond, early Monday morn
ing in the Sacred Heart hospital in
Spokane.
Mrs. Samson was fifty nine years
of age at the time of her death, and
has been an invalid for number of
years. In the last few weeks prev
ious to her death she was taken
worse and it was decided that it
would be hest for her to submit to an
operation in hopes that she might be
benefited thereby, so she was taken
to Spokane two weeks ago.
For the first few days after the
operation she seemed to rally and
the operation was thought to have
been a success, but on account of
her long illness she was quite feeble
and on Sunday evening she took a
turn for the worse and died at half
past one Monday morning.
The body was prepared for burial
in Spokane and Mr.. Samson ac-
companied the remains back to
their old home in Port Alleghany,
Penn, for interment where
they have several children buried
A husband and adopted daughter,
Mrs. B. O. Mullin, are left to
mourn her death, and the SYM
,pathy of the community is extend
ed to them in this, their sad hour
of bereavement.

EATS, But
DON'T PAY

Tom Rielley, the ex-pugilist who
makes frequent visits to Whitefish
from his camp at what is known as
THE Eagles Nest" at Coram, was
in the city Sunday and started to
make things interesting for himself
and others.
He went into the Parlor Cafe and
ordered his breakfast, and because
Tom Quong, the proprietor, insist
ed that he should pay for it he be-
came enraged and gave scientific
exhibition of how pugilist can use
his fists, which resulted disasterous-
ly for Quong and some of the fur
niture and dishes in the place.
After the melee Quong gets a
police officer, but No. 4 was stand
ing at the depot ready to pull out
so Rielley made his getaway on it
while the officer was searching the
town for him.
Shortly after the trouble was
over beer bottle came crashing in
thru the window and landed on a
table at which two men were eat
ing. There was a mixture of WIN
dow glass, broken dishes, broken
bottles and dinner, and a scramble
to get out of the way. Quong, who
was In a very nervous state of mind
just then, thought he was being
bombarded again and another search
was made for the miscreant. After
Officer Parent made an investig ga
ton he found that the trouble had
been caused by someone who had
accidently thrown an empty bottle
out of the second story of the
Milwaukee Hotel, which had
bounced from an adjoining roof
and crashed thru the window of the
restaurant. After the gentleme n
who had taken this means to dis
pose of the bottle, had been in
formed of what had taken place
they promptly paid the damages
and considered that they had en-
joyed good joke.

NOVELTY OF RAILROAD'G

H. 7. Mayfeld, the we'll known
locomotive engineer, was in town
yesterday from Whitefsh. Mr..
Mayfield is now pulling the Bur-
lington 43 and Al over this division
of the Great Northern. He con-
siders it a remarkable coincidence
that his first engine work was done
on Burlington engine, pulling 43
and A around in Nebraska. H.
T. was firing then. He evinced a
too personal interest in the big
strike however, and had to take
Horace Greely's advice, go west
young man. He has really
grown up with the big country in
the years he has been in Montana
and now his big engine is pulling
the old Burlington trains over the
mountains. .-Kalispell Bee.
