Meaning of Armistice

What of the result? The unusual
and almost inexphcable ending caused
a thousand questions on the meaning
of the armistiee. Did 1t mean that the
regulars had won over enough insur-
gents to obtain a truce in the fight
and time enough to rally their forces
and form some new plan of action2
Or were both sides weary TO the limit
of physical exhaustion and glad OF an
opportunity TO defer the final struggle
for a few hours and give all a chance
TO freshen themselves for il?

sentative Norris. This postponement

The house. for the first time in the
present session, had almost its full

from their seats and fled out through
the Uttered aisles. In FIVE minutes the
scene of the record breaking endurance

the hundreds of spectators who occu-
pied them constantly for nearly 30

of the fray.

Suit Against Mine Owner.

Helena.-The trial of one of the big
gest personal injury suits ever insti-
tuted here has begun in the federal
court. Nellie s. Arnold, of Missoula, is
suing H. F. Samuels, of Wallace, Ida,
owner of the Success mine near there,
for $4,000 for injuries alleged to have
been received as the result of being
thrown out of a vehicle driven by Mr..
Samuels.
The accident occurred May %, 1907.
Samuels, according to the complaint,
invited Mrs. Arnold and other friends
to visit the mine. The invitation was
accepted and the host hired a livery
rig in Wallace. Returning from the
mine to Wallace, the complaint alleges
that through the gross carelessness
and recklessness of Mr.. Samuels in
driving, the team ran away, throwing
the plaintiff out, as the result of which
she has sustained permanent injuries.

For Settlers Benefit.

has instructed the commissioner of
the general land office to grant leave
of absence whenever possible to set
tiers upon public lands in western
states where the unusual drought of
the past season has prevailed. The
only prerequisite is that the settler
shall have established residence upon
his entry, but where this is done and
the settler is obliged to leave the land
on account of dry season to make a
living the leave of absence will be
granted.

UNIQUE Ways to Give Gifts

In family where there were no
children and none to be borrowed
from near relatives they devised this
method of distributing the gifts: The
day before Christmas barrel covered
with creep paper was placed in the
reception hall. 1t was tied around
with red ribbon and green's, and each
member of the family placed parcels
within. At breakfast it was rolled
into the dining room and the contents
disclosed by the one whose lot it was
to perform the pleasant task This
honor was determined by two candy
canes, one long, one short; the man
who drew the long one of1ciated as
Santa Claus. THIS is not much trou-
Bile, and infinitely better than just the
ordinary giving things.
