IN be with you in a fifty" answered
Tom. And before Sissy had reached the
lower landing on the stairs Tom was run
ming down behind her. "Shall We take the
street car or walk" asked Sissy.
I'VE have to do both-ride first, then
finish up by walking a mile, replied Tom.
But you'u enjoy every step Of the walk,
Sis. It's through the l~oveliest meadow,
across a corking fine creek and up a long
hill. Youn have an appetite when dinner
time comes"
Nov, my dears, ! want you to nave a
perfect day" said Mrs. Hail, as she kissed
her son and daughter goodbye. Blu be
sure TO return home before dusk"
Then away went Sissy and Tom. They
boarded a street car At the corner and rode
TO the end Of the line. From tina point
they set out to walk over a country road
that led through a meadow. 1T is a lovely
walk" declared Sissy. Il love this
meadow"
YES, and youn enjoy every minute Of
the day at George Grey's home. You've
never met Georges mother and father,
have you?'
NO, but l think George a dear boy"
said Sissy. Il shall be delighted to know
his parents and TO visit them In their
home. Ever since you and George became
such fast friends at school mamma and 1
have intended TO pay his mother a visit.
But school claims all my attention, you
know. and mamma has been SO busy all

and her church work hat she has found
II impossible to get out TO the Grey's
farm. But she sent Thanksgiving greet
ings to Mrs. Grey. and asks her 10 come

Thus the children chatted as they walked
along. Then they turned a corner in the
road and came full upon a lovely stream.
A foot bridge spanned it, leading 20 the
road on the opposite shore, which began to
climb a long. timber-covered hill.
'At\the top OF that hill is the Grsys'

Elsie's Good Time

BY winifred Brandt, Aged 8 Years, 1861
Jackson Street, Omaha, Blue Side.
One cold winter morning a little girl
nsm med Elsie called her mother and asked
II she might go coasting on the hill. Her
mother thought it too cold to go out, so
Elsie played games. When Mrs. Hunter
looked out of the window and saw all the
children having such a merry time she
called to Elsie and said she might go.
Then Elsie slipped on her coat and hat and
scampered.
When the children saw her coming they
said. Good, there comes Elsie" Everyone
liked Elsie. She had such a good time
sliding. Her mother called them all in and
had some oyster soup. They all enjoyed
It very much. They all went home very
happy.

CROWD
BRINGS MONEY
OFFICIAL TOTAL SHOWS THAT
MORE THAN $4,000 HAS BEEN
SPENT IN FEES.

Taking the official count up to 4: 30
yesterday afternoon. as reported by
the various notaries public to the
United States land office. Tor the
basis of calculation, the sum of s10-
sSs.s5 has been paid in notarl,s' fees
in Missoula since July Is. The totai
registration. by the official fig
ures is 1873. Every one of
the registrants has paid - cents
to some notary and the total
counts up into money. Assuming that
this amount has been divided 80 ways
about the right number of individual
notaries-and the split of each man
will average s2lS1S. Some of the no
taries have, of course. done a better
business than others. but S2Is19 is
probably a fairly good average of the
earnings of all. What the registrants
nave spent IN the hotels. cafes. sa-
looms and other stores of Missoula
cannot. of course. be estimated ex-
actly, but the figure is placed in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
Postcffiee Figures.
According to Postmaster ID. H. Ross.
the official figures on registrations
totals have, as rule, been lower
than the actual count. as made by the
canceiling machine in the Missoula
office. The report of the notaries,
says Mr.. Ross, has not agreed with
the automatic count of the machine
and the discrepancy has, as gen.
eral rule, been such as to show that
the notaries have not reported all of
their registrations. He sustains this
contention by citing the following fig
ures, which give the daily count of
both machine and notaries for the
week that ended yesterday:
