Inquiries for town lots were num-

position from the Santa Fe to pur-
chase the water works.
A remonstrapce TO a petition ask
ing that all business houses be closed

penses.

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION

Although people set out lightly to
amend the constitution eff the United
States, it is a task difficult of accom-.
plishment, and such was the intention.
Mr.. Taft assume that there is strong
sentiment in favor of an income tax,
but that might be true and still no
amendment would follow. To amend
the constitution it is necessary that
two-thirds Of the members of both
houses of congress shall vote in favor
OF 1t and their action shall be ratified
by the legislatures of three.fourths of
the states. A measure that runs this
gauntlet must be urgent and have
great popularity.
Congress has proposed four amend
ments which the states have refused to
ratify. Two of these, in 1889, per.
tanned to the ratio OF representation
and to the salaries of members. In
1909 congress proposed an amend.
ment annulling the citizenship OF any
who should accept q title or
gift from . foreign prince. Harmless
~ this must have been in that day, it
one state of the necessary
th~ree-fourths. In 1s60.6l, In view Of
view Of the slsvery dispute and the
Of secession, many amend.

To begin sighting along the barrel

practice, 10 q handicap to the man
who wants to learn the art at it's best.
The hand land eye, of course, work
together with all weapons and In all
combats, :but there is q difference be-
tween the eye.general and the eye
particular. The best form OF boxing
or fencing-that is what the use of the
six.shooter means. You point your
fist or your foil by instinct. You can.
not help pointing your finger directly
and straight at any object, no matter
how hard you try. You surely do not
eight down your finger! In the best
work with the six-shooter, you point
with the: barrel just as you point with
your finger; or really, you point with
your wrist or forearm, and the six.
shooter is the finger Of your wrist, the
lengthening of your arm. That is the
theory and creed of the ix.shooter.

Brief and Pertinent Comment.


with hard work q man should live

Bill. At present prices of foodstuffs
the average man has to work hard to
live any lentgh of time. Not merely
longevity but necessity requires it.
So Kermit has killed the biggest
lion of all! There is young America
for you-no consideration for the feel.
ings of the old man whatever. Ger.
tainly no other member of the party
would have dared take such liberties.
According to John Burroughs, ''it
does not take much to live in the couu.

can live like a Kansas farmer and
not spend money he is badly mistaken.
You can't have fine automobiles,
grand pianos and take your family to

ments were proposed for the purpose
of reassuring the south, but congress
adopted only one. Hostilities began
soon afterward and thus no action by
the states was had.
The first ten amendments, constitut-
ing the bill of rights, we're proposed
at n time in 1889 and were ratified
1871. They we're exacted by several
of the states as a condition of their
acceptance of the constitution itself.
The eleventh and twelfth amendments,
protecting states from suits of citizens
of other states in federal courts and
regulating the electoral system, we're
adopted 1898 and 1903. respectively.
The last mentioned would seem TO
have invited no opposition, and yet it
received exactly Q three.fourths vote
Of the states.
Public memory is still fresh as to
the three remaining amendments.
They were intended to ecure the fruits
OF the war for the union. The thir.
teenth failed once in the house of
representatives. and Nevada was
made q state for the purpose of secur.
ing the necessary three.fourths. Ac.
ceptance of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments was made a condition of
reconstruction in some of the southern
and there was much opposi.
lion in the north.
It is possible to amend the constitu.
lion, but the process requires time,
great singleness of purpose and com.
freedom from antagonism,
not only in congress, but in the legis-
latures of thirty.five of the forty.six
Y. World.

A Touch of:Western Life.

KALISPELL, June 25.-The St. Paul
business mems special of nine coaches
pulled into Kalispell this morning, in
a drizzling rain which lasted through.
out the day. Elaborate plans for en-
PERTAINING the distinguished visitors
were abandoned on account of the
weather conditions, and the train
proceeded to Somers, where the
steamer Montana took the party on
board for an excursion on Flathead
lake.
A touch of genuine western life was
experienced by the visitors on the
Somers trip, when a desperate en-.
tered the car at q secluded point and
proceeded to shoot things up. Sheriff
O'Connell was on board and was
quickly or the scene. The men from
the Gopher state we're looking for
business, but not of just that sort, and
they abandoned the car to the wild
man with more alacrity than grace,
while they sought cover beneath seats.
Three shots were put into the roof
Of the car before the sheriff succeeded
In overpowering the desperate. An
exchange of congratulations ensued
among the eastern gentlemen at their
miraculous escape, and they departed
tonight unaware that the game wss q
putup job and the desperate none
other than Alden Ayres, q most
peaceable citizen.

PLAY WITH MANY LAUGHS
"Man on the Box" One of the Most
Popular Comedies

Grace Livingston Furniss play,
THE Man on the Box" adapted from
Harold McGraths novel of the same
name. is play that is certain to
provoke much laughter, and its pro-
duction by Wilmer Walter and spe-
cial company at the Bennington opera
house on Friday evening will surely
be the signal for the assembling of
all comedy lovers. Almost every one
who reads at all has read McGrath's
entertaining novel, and can see in its
lines and surprising situations an OPP
portunity for a highly interesting and
amusing play. and Miss Furniss, in
dramatizing the book has made the
most of her material. The play has
been seen on tour with Henry z. Dix
ey in the title role.
The play has for plot the confusion
of Identities that comedy writers rev.
ell in, and the ingenuity of the novel
list and the playwright has resulted in
a series of complicated situations that
keep the audience on the alert of eX-
pectancy and mystery. The fact that
the book has been so extensively read
makes the theme of the play generally
well known and it is conceded to be
Americas best and most successful
comedy.

nedy's Servant in the House For
four acts the piece went rather slow
~ and the interest displayed by the
audience was a triie languid, but the
last act changed all that. Henry Mil

the hearts of his audience and what
till then had promised to be merely a
success is destined to become tri-
umph.
There were calls for the author,
who came before the curtain and ire
mulously said he had waited three
years to see his play given in his ma
tive city and was now amply recon-
pensed for his waiting and calls for
the actors. especially for Miller who
could hardly speak for emotion.

hit. Sydney Valentine acted ire
