"ST. ELMO"

In a day when the popular novel
seems to be the chief care of the dra.
matist and when every popular work
OF fiction OF the day Is Immediately
seized upon as fitting material to be
worked over into dramatic form, it Is
rather startling TO find "a dramatist
who puts aside contemporaneous liter.
allure and turns to the product OF an
age that is all but passed into history
and finds there the inspiration for his
earnest labors. Such however, is'true
of Neil Twomey whose dramatization
of Augusta ]. Evans novel "St. Elmo"
Is announced to appear In this city on
Friday evening, NovemberN4, at the
Grand Opera House. In lighting upon
this most popular OF all the works Of
the favorite author OF the south, Mr..
Twomey has set himself difficult
task, for 1t Is not alone TO the dra-
matte situations in the work to which
the book owes popularity, which has
lasted through two generations with
out apparent diminution.

good places about Missoula; there is

HEAR THE BAND.

Tonight. at the Harnois theater, the
Missoula band will give the second Of
the series OF concerts it has arranged
for the winter season. The success of
the first concert assures that of the
second, from an artistic standpoint,
anyway. Hear the band tonight; it
will be well worth your while. There's
another reason, too; the band needs
you tonight. Like all public enter
prises, the Missouia band has need to
appeal for public aid. occasionally.
The men Of Missoula have responded
well; the business people are doing
their share toward keeping up what
is and will be one of the splendid
musical organizations of the west.
Still the band needs help little and,
what is really of more Importance. 1t
needs moral support. Go to the Har-
nois theater tonight; you'll hear a
concert not to be excelled anywhere
in the northwest.

This morning we enter the rush of
the closing week Of the holiday shop
ping season. For the shopper who
has completed his task and whose list
has been all checked off the week
possesses no terrors; he can look on
and enjoy what he sees. But the man
who has delayed until now the visit
to the Christmas mart he has weary
hours ahead But they are pleasant
hours and he will emerge from the
scrimmage with smiles, for it takes
all the crouch out Of a man to play
Santa Claus. II we do the best we
can this week to tighten the duties Of
the holiday salespeople, we shall be
doing the right thing: their troubles
are greater than ours and they
haven't the satisfaction in these
transactions which comes to us on the
outside of the counter. If you are go
ing shopping this week, go as early
as you can in the morning; you will
have greater comfort than you will II
you wait till afternoon. II you want

In their work OF trying to make the

who are in distress. The census

revealed a good deal of suffering In
the city--not such suffering as there
is in the great cities, but great pro-

Speed Justice.

Great Falls Tribune.-One of the
very hest suggestions that has ever
come from any president of the United
States was contained in the former
message of the president to congress
and is again referred to in his last
one. President Taft says court pro-
ceedings in the United States courts
are too complicated, too costly and too
long delayed to serve the purpose of
justice we'll, and he win certainly find
the majority of the people who have
had litigation in these courts very
much in agreement with him. We
trust that he will succeed in getting
this much needed reform under way
with the help of congress.

of Montana, regardless of their po-

upkeep. They increase the value of all
property, whether adjacent to or re-
mote from them and they add to the
convenience and comfort Of every resi-
dent. They are rightly regarded as be-

Havre Plaindealer.-Th Plaindealer,
in behalf of the democrats of northern
Montana would respectfully request the

carefully look over the senatorial
goods presented by this section of the

Of those mentioned for the honor and
then he would not have to go out and
get a reputation like the other embryo
democratic statesmen from Montana.
He is already known in Washington,
especially to the press, where he en-
joyed fine run few years ago as
a possible nominee on the democratic
ticket for vice president. He would
have for an associate his successful
rival for that honor, MrS Kern of In
