.fL|M-FlAm GAME
 DIDN'T FOOL MERCHANTS
"Bill" and Jack" Are Now Reposing
 Peacefully in the sastiIe.

Down in the city jail are two men strongly suspected of being short change" artists. Both gave the name of Emery when arrested. though they admit they are no relation and were unacquainted till they came to Phoe- nix a week or so ago. One of them answers to the name ''Bill' and the other will come if you call him Jack"
 Bill was captured first and gave description of his pal which en- abled Marshal Moore to pick him up on the street. Bill described the game as follows:
 He said Understand in the first place that I am not short change man. l would not do that sort or thing and beside l am a Presbyte- rian. But Jack. whom l met when I came down here. tried to show me how it was worked. He wanted me to try il but I told him l was an honest laboring man and that could not steal candy off a Christ mas tree if wanted to go. Well, Jack goes into store and asks for five cents worth or tobacco. He puts down q ten dollar bill and ! gets the change-usually five dollar bill and silver. He puts the biii m his pocket and shoves back the sii- yer and then fishes out 8 nickel rom | his pocket. He then asks Tor ms ten back, remarking that he has nickle and does not want to carry
 SO much silver around with him. II
 Is really wonderful how often the
 absent minded clerk would come | across with the original ten JacR
 showed great talent in his profession
 and I could not help but admire hin though of course l disapproVed oi | his actions
 | Complaints were received from sev' eral stores that the men had tlee | their little schemes on them ana th' police made a roundup in snort or der.

Mrs. Howard Gould, when placed
on the stand il the celebrated di-
vorce case Ia which she il the prin-
cipal figure, told Of the needs Of 8
woman il her circle Of society, the
duties she has to perform and the
labor she has to undergo to meet the
requirements Of her station in life,
all Of which lead naturally to the
conclusion that il she became adj
dicted to the flowing bowl there was
some excuse for It, says The Daily
States.
She asserted that when she goes
for a soionrn at q fashionable hotel
she changed her costumes, three
times a day, and each costume must
have hats, shoes, stockings and petit
coats to match. The inexorable law
Of New York society, according to
Mrs. Could, forbids a costume to be
worn more than once at the same
hotel. To keep these costumes and
the many different things that be-
long to them in a condition of dis
tinct separation IS evidently a BRAIN
breaking task, to say nothing Of the
labor and trouble involved in putting
on and taking of SO many clothes
every day.
But this is not all. Most Of US.
we think, can imagine the infinite
torture she endured in being fitted to
ninety dresses which are necessary
for a months stay anywhere. We
are anite anre there mere tree 4FheH
Mrs. Gould yearned for the simple
luxury Of a loose bingham wrapper
and a pair of carpet slippers, but her
pride would not let her reYel in the
rest and comfort they would afford.
Society called for dress and she obey
ed the imperions mandate with a gait
so rapid that more than 100000
of the Gould fortune vanished within
a period of eight years. That she
was going it some during that time
there can be no doubt, and that mat
rimonial explosions were Inevitable
the public will admit, but the wonder
is that she has been able to stand the
physical strain Of getting in and out
of the many hundreds Of dresses she
had.
Many Of US have heard Of The
English nobleman who deliberately
blew his brains out in order to escape
the monotonous performance of un-
dressing and going TO bed at night
only TO get up and dress again in
the morning, but it is evident that
Mrs. Howard Gould was made Of
stronger stuff than the languid Eng
lishman.

us. Eltner OF these TWO channels,
however, is defective. Our own
experience comes to us through
our sense organs, through the eye,
the ear, the taste, the touch, the
smell. Wherever these organs are
in healthy, normal conditions, the
pictures brought to the Cerebrum
will prove in most, if not all es-
sentials to be correct; but any de-
feet in these organs will tran
smit absolutely false information
to the central station. The expert
ences Of others transmitted to us
are less reliable, because they may
have been obtained through de-
fcient organs as oftentimes they
are, and in addition they may have
been Intentionally falsifed in the
transmission or by the transmit
tor.
We claim to know a great deal,
but practically we know very few
| facts. Most of our knowledge is
leased upon credit, we accept as
true the statements of others. No
body for example knows from his
own experience how old he is He
accepts the statement made by
his parents or friends as fact
History, covering the past, is ac-
cepted not as personal experience
but by the silent consent of great
many people. We admit or accept
narratives as facts because we
have no means to prove this fall
sity.
Consequently, tie first and i'm
portant problem for us to solve
is, did our Cerebrum receive cor
rect information. If the informa
ton is incorrect, if our senses are
deceiving us through some abnor
NAL construction, or if the llnowl
edge given us by teachers, parents
or books is faulty this importan
organ will adjust these fact
wrongly and with results tina
must be harmful to both the indi
vidual and the species. The ad
justing department of the Cere
Drum is called Reason. How prou'
: are people of this reasoning pow
! er. But we have seen already tina
mal-information must necessal
+ lily produce false reasoning, We

MENTALITY ANDRELIGTON
by RABBI SOLOMON SHINDLER

The average man may acknowl-
edge with his lips his physical and
mental frality; he may exclaim
with the Psalmist: "What is
man that thou thinkest of him,
the son of earth that thou consid-
crest him." or he may compare
himself 81 to the gras that sprout-
eth in the morning and is cut
down and withereth in the even
ing" but in his innermost heart
he considers himself the mighty
ruler of his destinies. He is proud
of his mental faculties, of his
knowledge, of his reasoning pow
ers, of his successes. He will admit
that he is responsible for his ac-
tions, and in retu a he will hold
his human fellow beings respons-
ible for theirs.
All human legislation is in fact
based upon the dogma of respons-
Utility. If that understructure
were removed, the whole present
social fabric would collapse and
humanity would be thrown into
chaotic conditions.
The youngest child of Science,
Psychology, takes it's stand rather
by the side of the pessimistic psal-
mist than by that of the proud
optimist. 1t claims to have dis,
covered some facts which, if true
as they appear to be, would turn
topsy-turvey the old established
dogma of human responsibility
1t may prove at least instructive
to contemplate the outlines oil
discoveries. The reader may take
them for what they are worth tc
him.
All mental activities are center
ed in the cerebrum, part OF thu
human brain, which is a structur
of nerve cells, from which and t.
which system of nerves lead tina
spread all over the human bod,
like network. The functions o
the Cerebrum are therefore j
this character. The Cerebrum re
ceives sensations from the envil
onment, it adjusts them and fna
: ly emits the result, or in othe
words, it learns, it reasons and
executes.
We learn in two ways. BY on
; own experience and by the expel
) fence of others communicated I

Explains School Census Law.

In response to a query from the
commissioner of agriculture, labor and
industry, the attorney generals office
has rendered an opinion respecting
the data that should be contained in
county superintendent reports which
the law requires shall be submitted to
that department. This is held to be
"a full and complete list of the name.
age, date of birth and sex of each
child, and the name Of the parents or
guardians of each child under 16. who
is now or may hereafter become a
resident of this state" and further
that such list shall be the official rec
ord of the age of children in Montana.
County superintendents are required
to prepare and transmit this informa.
ton to the commissioners Office within
30 days after they receive the school
census from the district clerks, nor
81 hall they receive salary until the re-
ceipt therefor from the commissioner
of industry is presented to the county
board. Further, school districts which
fail to make these annual reports be-
fore Oct. Is are not entitled to receive
school monies.

Bids For Capitol Improvements.

HELENA, Nov, 10.-Six bids for the
erection of the capitol wings and for
making alterations to the present
building were received by the state
board of examiners when it met this
afternoon in the governors reception
chamber to open tenders for the work.
The bids we're read and referred to
the architects for computation and it
IL expected that the award will be
made sometime tomorrow.
The bids clearly showed one thing
that If Montana stone Is used in the
wings the cost of the structure will be
from forty to seventy thousand dollars
greater, and it will take on an average
OF two hundred days or almost nine
months longer Ia which to complete
the job. Every bid opened allowed q
deduction OF from forty to seventy
thousa and dollars if stone from the
Bedford, Ind, quarries al used, and
it was also stipulated that II the Bed.
ford stone we're used the wings would
be completed in two hundred days
less time.
Each bidder gave his figure for the
erection of the wings, the cost of alter.
ing the present building. aud tho de-.
duc,,on allowed II Bedford stone we're
used.
