TOO SLICK

written for the Ocala Banner.)
Passing one moonlit summers
night by a small church, the services
not yet concluded, curiosity prompted
me to pause at the door and listen
awhile.
The congregation of negroes were
of the HarG-Shell Baptist denomina-
ton, and as l stopped at the door a
new preacher mounted the pulpit. 1t
was then about eleven o'clock, and
the smoking lamp inside, added to
the steaming vapor arising from the
closely packed congregation, created
altogether an atmosphere that, to say
the least, was heavy.
The nigh; was intensely warm, and
the new preacher had taken off his
coat. He was large AID very black
evidently a country darkey of the old
time variety-and his shining face
was bare of whiskers, save for mar
row fringe Of white kinks around the
lower part of his chin, and the per-
spiration was pouring from his bald
head. Lifting his long arms and wav-
ing them 70" silence and attention, he
began:

CHARIVARI OLNEY.
Tin Can Band Serenades the Bride and
Groom, Burlesque is a Success
Financially.

Mr.. and Mrs. Olney were serena1ed
last Monday night by tin can band
of twenty three pieces. Such music
has not been feard in Harlowton
since the days of the old roundups.
The charivari party formed on North
Central avenue, marched with uneven
tread to Main street, where it was
joined by reinforcements, and then
proceeded to the door of the Urner
Hotel. The band endeavored to play
that old familiar tune, '"There'll Be
Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night" with variations. The music
little discordant at times, owing to
the fact that several members were
out of practice, was enjoyed by a
large number attracted by he dis
cord, and especially by Mr.. and Mrs.
Olney.
Attirst there was no response made

MANY JOIN ORDER.
Fraternal Order of Mountaineers Has a
Big Membership Already Will Or
ganize First of Next Week.

George l.. Sorenson, who has been
in town for the last ten days organiz-
ing cabin in the Fraternal Order of
MCuntaineers, is having large mea-
sure of success in his work. He has
nearly fifty applicants and expects to
get many more before he leaves.
Many who have not signed applica
tions have signitied their intention of
joining, and it looks as though pros
perity will shine on the HarlowtOn
cabin from the beginning.
The Fraternal Order of Mountain
eers is Montana organization with
headquarters at the busy city Of Bill
lings. 1t appeals to residents of Mon
tana for the reason that the insur-
ance money is invested at home. AS
Mr.. SOrensOn says ''S3, 900, 600 of Mon
tana money is paid annually to for
eign insurance companies and less
than 100000 is paid back" The
policy of patronizing home institu-
tion and keeping your investments at
home is commendable feature of
the new order.
1t has an accident feature that ap-
pealS to great many working IN
more or less dangerous vocations.
Cash payments are made for broken
arm or leg, the loss Of hand, an eye
or a foot or for total disability. The
following is a schedule of insurance
rates: 60 cents to Sl.45 per month on
81 600 according to age.
The Mountaineers will organize the
first of next week and will have it's
meeting place in the Urner hall.
Since the order insures both men and
women, some merry times are expect
ed. Mr.. Sorenson has been giving
special inducements to charter men,

Sure Sign Of Mild Weather For Rest Of
the Winter

Not long ago an old timer while
driving along the road running north
east of Harowton, saw a large rattle
snak basking in the warm sun on top
of huge rack at the roadside. The
rancher stopped his horse and killed
the snake which was an old one with
ten rattles. To the ordinary person
this incident has little significance,
but to the old timer, whose knowledge
was gathered more from observation
and the workings of nature, than
from books, the incident was OF
value and carried with it hidden
meaning. He came on to town and
told the boys what he saw, rattle
smoke in the winter time. He then
said that it was sure sign that the
remainder of the winter would be
very mild. 81 have never seen it to
fail" said the old rancher, sand my
father would bank on that ere sign
every time. Its a sure one."

GROUND HOG
SAW SHADOW
Sun Shines Brightly at Noon OF
Ground Hogs
Day

February End came ard went.
Those who put their taith in the
movements of the hog on February
2nd were disappointed. 1t is COM
monty believed if on that day the
grounding comes out of his hole and
sees his shadow, and then goes back
again, it is sure sign that we are to
have six weeks more winter weather
If, however, there is no shadow and
the grounding gambols about on the
surface near the hole, the winter is
over and spring weather is to be ex-
pected.
The sun shone very dimly until
near noon, when the clouds opened
up and old Sol shOne forth brilliantly,
melting the remaining snow drifts,
and even the ice upan the river. If
the little animal ventured forth at
this time, he must have taken TO his
hole Immediately, as there would be
shadow enough to put the run on him
if he was ever going to turn trail and
retreat.

A BOOST FOR
HARLOWT0N
North Dakota Daily Contains Two
Page Write-up on Town.
Business interests.

Perhaps the best ece of single ad-
vertising the town of Harlow1on has
yet had appears in the Grand Forks
Evening Times of February lst. The
town is called "The Pride of the Mus
selshell Valley" and this name is
placed in large red letters across the
top of the front page. The second
page of the paper is entirely devoted
to write-up on the different busi-
ness houses and industries of the
town. The advantages and oppor-
tunities are set forth without exag-
geration. every business interest has
some mention; and all treated fairly.
The writeup covers about two pages
of solid matter.
This summary, appearing as it does
in the best daily of North Dakota,
with a circulation of about 10000 60
ing into the homes of the people liv-
ing in eastern North Dakota, is an
advertisement that will bring results.
Heretofore HarloWton has had little
advertisement, in this respect a change
is being made. The business men
are awaking to the fact that all that
is necessary to bring hordes of people
to this section is to tell the world of
the latent possibilities of this section
of Montana.
Any person desiring to obtain a
copy of the Evening Times cont ain
ing the Harlowton writeup may get

N eW Sidewalks.

At the last meeting of the city
council it was decided to put side
walks on both sides of Main street
and Central avenue. 1t is not decid-
ed whether the material to be used
will be planks, asphalt or cement.
The matter OF material to be used
will likely be left in large measure to
the wish of the taxpayers. A town
like HarloWton Is not built in a day
and the council is wise in considering
thoroughly the proposition of build
ing permanent improvement like a
sidewalk. The council is anxious
that the taxpayers shall feel free to
express their opinions in the matter.

CHEMICAL EN-
CINE A SUCCESS
Test Given on Sunday Shows That
Big Fire Can Easily Be
Extinguished.

That the new chemical fire engine
can do the work required is now GER
tain. the test came last Sunday
when big pile of boards and other
rubbish was set on fire south of the
Harlowton Opera House, and the new
fire company was called into action.
After an abundance of oil had been
poured on the pile and the fire we'll
started, the alarm was given and the
boys made for the fire hall. Fire-chief
Bert Bletnen had everything in readi-
ness by the time the brigade arrived
and the run was made from the fire
hall down Main street, down Central
avenue. across lots to the scene of the
fire. The flames were now many feet
high, and the timber made hot blaze.
Two minutes after the hose was ap-
piled the fire was completely under
control. The engine worked success
fully and gave satisfaction.
Several amusing incidents occurred
on the run to the pile, owing to the
inability of some of the sturdy fire.
men to get the necessary amount of
atmosphere to keep them running,
Lee Hash, Hank Weber and George
Clark fell by the wayside, and cheered
the brave remainder who thundered
on to the fire. They arrived in time
however to see the fire put out, but
to them the air still seemed very rare.
They will not resign as at first report
ed, but will practice up their wind.
High praise Is due the Chief, Bert
Blethen, for the work he has done
and time he has spent in building the
fire hall and getting the engine in
readiness. Everything is neat and
clean and above all the engine is in
readiness all the time. He has taken
a great deal of interest in giving Har-
lowton some good fire protection. He
asks that the property owners take
more interest, that more should be in
attendance at fire drill. He expects
to have regular fire drill hereafter.
With the exception Of the engine
pulling little heavy, the chief is en-
tirely satisfied with the test made.
