A bill which the residents of Flat
head county earnestly desire to have
passed by the legislature has been in
troduced by Representative Harbert,
and provides for a fish hatchery for
this county. The need for fish
hatchery in Flathead county is appar-

A merchant located in small town
thinks it is useless to advertise because
the people know what the stock is,
what the merchant has and what they
want. This man has shot wide of the
mark. TO begin with, it is very
curious community which knows ev,
erything any merchant carries. Why,
some of the clerks do not know, with
every inducement and reason and OPP
portunity for finding out. Second, ad-
vertising may be used to stimulate sales

A STRINGENT LAW

Montana has one of the most strin-
gent gambling laws of any state in
the union, and the man who violates
its provisions is taking more chances
than good judgment would indicate to
be advisable. Not only is the Mon
tana statute stringent in regard to the
gamblers themselves, but it does not
stop there. The owner of a building
in which gambling is permitted, and
the peace and prosecuting officers and
others in authority are classed right
with the gamblers and are equally liza
bic.
When this law was passed it sound
ed the death knell to gambling in Mon
tana. True, it has not entirely stopped
the games Of chance in all parts Of the
state, but it has very nearly done SO.
The an,i-gambling statute Of this state
is too hard proposition for the gam
blers to fool with, and not many OF
them are DESTROYS of taking the chances
that a violation OF the law necessi
tates.

Whitefish ought to have a sidewalk
snow pillow with which to keep the side
walks clear of snow. Such a contriv-
ance would only cost a few dollars,
and the expense of having the walks
cleared would be slight. A horse and
one man could then clean all the side
walks in less than a day at any time
it was needed.

that for it." cried the widow. and. holding 1t up where the light would play upon its fiorid splendor, she de vised a wild and romantic tale to suit it The hostess, who sat next to her, led the applause.
 At the conclusion of the luncheon Mrs. Keepers said as she arose:
 But I must have my ring. or shall be leaving 1t. You have if, dear Mrs. HerfordT
 The beautiful widow shook her head.
 q gave the pretty thing to Mrs. Sands" she said. Did not, my good hostess?"
 ITO me? No, you did not hand the ring to me. Mrs. Herford- Perhaps 1t was to the lady on the other side of you" But that lady gave a fat denial. An awkward pause came. Mrs. Keep CTS smiled graciously.
 You shall not wait here because of my ring" she said, with her slow smile. Tt has been dropped. The servants will find 1t and bring 1t to me"
 But this gracious courtesy could not put the lost jewel out of the minds of any of the guests. The next hour was unpleasant. Every one felt that in spite of the unchanged politeness of the hostess and the sweet suitability of the owner of the ring Mrs. Herford was suspected. She felt it, too. There was a flash in her eyes and her lips were strained. But she stayed cour- ageously till the last.
 By tacit agreement the ladies called no more She was bidden to no more luncheons. She took solitary walks, went alone to the matinee, sat alone by her fire day in and day out, till a pallor began to dim the glow of that brilliant face and the eyes acquired a pathos new to them. Some of the women pitied her. One ventured to send her some flowers. but they were, unfortunately, white ones. such as are sent to the dead. When Mrs. Keepers, the owner of the lost ring. passed the old-fashioned house where. the young widow lived. she made a point of look ing the other way. But she uttered no word of suspicion It was her friends who talked. ~
 Six months later Mrs. Keepers went to Paris to find out what civilized peo- pie were doing and one of her first CT rands was to her dressmaker. He pre- scented himself with many expressions of pleasure at again meeting a lady who appreciated the art of line dress ing. -~ s;-''-' s'''; -'' - --

No one knew anything about the little widow. She moved into the neigh borhood without so much as ''by your leave" Mrs. Clara Herford was the inscription on her cards. It looked strange and unconventional. But by the time the ladies had decided that such an inscription was unusual they had called-and so it was too late.
 She had, fortunately or unfortunate ly, lovely face, with red gold hair, violet eyes. a dazzling complexion and small. conspicuous, perfect teeth. It is a little suspicious for a woman to be as beautiful as that Still, Mrs. Richard Henry Sands, the most exclu- sive woman in the neighborhood. over looked this splendor of countenance and invited her to her first luncheon of the winter.
 The conversation turned on jewels Mrs. Keepers. lazy-looking blonde, with a delicious accent born of tenn peramental indolence. exhibited a new ring. It was an opal, the color of a ripe ponegranate, set about with little diatnonds She told It's E1Asory. which was rather commonplace

 Tt came from your own country. madame. and into my possession in a way that-that relates to business. Such things occur"
 'Win you tell me the story? I have reason for wanting to know"
 Madame will pardon me. It Is busi- ness. It Is personal"
 Mrs. Keepers half shut her pale blue eyes

 The Frenchman perceived that the curiosity was not idle.
 Madame insists? In confidence, then. lady of your city sent 1t to me, by my consent. in payment of a bill- bill which had been unduly delayed in settlement"
 It took not little diplomacy to in- duce the milliner to dlvulge the name of the customer who had done this, but he yielded finally.
 Tt was Mrs. Richard Henry Sands" said he.
 Thank you.' said Mrs. Keepers. ''We will now talk of my order"
 An hour later she drove to the sta ton of the Atlantic cable, and she sent three messages. One was to Mrs. Sands, one was to Mrs. Herford. the widow: the last was to her dearest friend, to whom she gave instructions to call on every lady who had been at the un- lucky luncheon and tell the truth.
 When she returned. three months later. Mrs. Sands had gone West for a tour. She was in Japan. 1t was said, and might return by way of New York In a year or two. AS for the beautiful widow, she had opened her doors and was extending hospitality. She had been forgiven for the sins she did rot commit and the beauty she could not help.
