Why, oh, why. will women keep FOL

only the victims of that procrastination

Without Resort to Law

Come and put in your vacation
with me. House in the country. Lake.
Fish. Golf. Mighty good-looking girl
only eighty rods away. Cupid. Moon
light. ETC."
SO ex-Judge German wrote to his
nephew, Phil Walker, just before col
lege vacation. The judge was q bach
elor sixty years old, who had bought
a manor house on retiring from tho
bench. He was alone except for his
servants, and Phil was his favorite
nephew.
Judge German had caught only a
brief glimpse of Aileen Travers as
she crossed the lawn of her mothers
grounds next door. Any lawyer could
have made case of false pretenses
out of that letter, but Phil Walker
replied that he would be happy to
come. Miss Aileen Travers was just
Two weeks ahead of him on vacation.
She had got home and settled down
for the summer before he was due.
When at home she was the man
about the house. She could handle
saw or hammer, and when the lawn
mower got out of kilter she had a
way of fixing 1t up instead of sending
1t off to town to be tinkefed at. She
reached home on this occasion to find
that many things needed her atten-
tion, and among them was the glazing
of a pane of glass in the kitchen win
dow. This was left to the last, but
on the day her mother and little SIS
ter went away to be gone till night
the cook was informed:
Now, then, If James got that pane
of glass and some putty, we will fix
that window. We shall need the step
ladder"
It's the easiest thing in the world
for a smart and good-looking girl to
putty in a pane of glass. She first
takes out any fragments of the old
pane. Then she mounts to the top of
a stepladder and has the cook hold

Drunkenness and Divorce.

United States census returns show
that drunkenness figured as a direct
and contributing cause in 10 per cent.
OF all divorces from 1887 to 1906 in
the United States. According to the
census figures, liquor was the sole
cause OF divorce in 1856 cases, and
the cause In combination with some
other in 1875 cases. In addition to
this, there were 130.2S7 in which
drunkness was an indirect or contribu.
tory cause.

Then the new pane is set in and made

Mid-afternoon came along while she
was still working. So did Phil Walker.
He was walking out from town for

inquiries. He rang the bell at the

No answer. He thought he heard
voices at the rear of the house. The
sensible thing to do was to go around
and find the owners. He found them.
Miss Aileen was standing ON the
crest of the stepladder. sleeves rolled
up, old skirt on, and bareheaded and
her hair tousled and flying about.
That's the way glazier glazes.
The cook was hanging to the step
ladder like grim death and throwing
out a suggestion now and then, and
the stage setting was ready when the
young college man appeared. There
was yell from the cook! There was
an exclamation from the mistress.
There was roar from the family
dog, who has been held back until this
moment to complete dramatic stu
alton!
The cook let go. The stepladder
wabbled. Miss Aileen came down. Mr..
Walker stepped backward. and II

The United States Senate passed a
bill last Wednesday establishing the
Glacier National Park in Western
Montana, just south of the interna-
tional boundary. The park will COM
prise about 400 square miles. 1t is
confidently expected that the bill
will pass the house. The establish
ment of the famous Lake Mcdonald
glacier region into a national park
is bound within the next few years
to attract thousands of tourists to
Montana and many public spirited
citizens of this state have been striv-
ing for several years to impress con-
gress with the necessity for making a
reserve of this glorious region.

but he told them in very simple words
that they must conform with the
laws, if not. they will have to suffer
the consequences. The trust and
bull frog senators, who were elected
upon the platform of 1908 of the
republican party will now understand
very plainly that their avaricious
methods and misdeeds in the United
States senate will not be tolerated
in the future, and with the assistance
of brave and fearless president the
people of this grand United States
can easily elect such men to the
state legislature, who will in turn do
their duty by their constituents and
elect men to the federal senate who
will honorably represent the people,
