When 3 man makes an appeal to Woman's heart his suit is generally for more and not for less tenderness. Con- ductor Labor Of the Baden Municipal or chestra, supplies however, a very re- marbabe exception to this rule. The ad- dress with which this gentleman manip- ulates the baton has so worked on the hearts of the lady members of his audi ence during this inflammatory, summer that the declaratons of love which he finds among his correspondence every morning have become a positive nuisance. As @ remnant of diffideiree prevents many of his admirers' from revealing their identity, he has been compelled publicly to announce the adamantine character of his own bosom. and has in- serted the following advertisement in the local press:
 ''As have no Intention of either falling Tn love or marrying, l beg those estima- be ladies who have been in the habit Of honoring me with anonymous surprises that in future they will kindly spare me these. Many thanks in anticipation. (Signed) Bandmaster Labor
 Perhaps it would have been as well for this too popular musician if he had made il clearer that it is the communications themselves, and not merely their anony- mity, that distresses him.

W0O[CROWERS DENY
THEY ARE TO BLAME
Someone Else Responsible For
High Wool Price
DEMAND PROTECTION
FROM THE CONGRESS
Sheepmen Declare They Have
Not Been Making Any Money
For Several Years

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 14.-Fifteen
hundred men who are familiar with
the names of Cotswolds, Hamp-
shires, Angoras, Rambouillets and
other varieties of sheep and goats
as they are with their A, B, C's
gathered in Omaha today for the
opening of the forty-eighth annual
convention of the National Wool
Growers Association. In the size
and representative character of the
attendance the convention has
never been eclipsed in the history
of the association, which is one of
the Oldest live stock organizations
in America. While the majority of
the delegates come from the West
there are many in attendance from
Ohio, Kentucky. and other wool
growing States east of the Missis-
sippi River.
The f1ockmasters believe that the
wool growing industry in the United
States has reached critical stage
of its existence and they have come
to the convention prepared for ex-
haustive discussion and vigorous
action. Schedule tx and The re-
port of the tariff board will be the
leading subjects of consideration
A vast array of statistics will be Of
fered to show that the sheepmen are
not responsible for the present high
prices of clothing and other wool
products. On the contrary, it is de-
clared that they have not been ma
king any money for several years.
For the past year, it isstated, the
wool men have actually lost money,
because the manufacturers, as a re-
suit OF the tariff agitation, would
not buy except on a free trade
basis.
The convention will demand that
the American wool growers be given
that degree of protection which is
represented in the difference in the
cost OF producing pound of wool
In the United States and in foreign
countries. The association believes
that the Importance of the industry
1ustifies its protection at the hands
Of Congress. Attention is called to 10

RIVER COMES UP RAPIDLY
Unusual Rise Of Five Feet-Big Rain:
up Milk River

The sudden rise of last week IN
the river put the water IN a con-
dition that taxed the best of filters
to remove the more solid parts of
the Rocky mountains that we're
adrift in it. The river came up
with a bound, the rise at this point
being five feet. The Mandan that
was tsnagging some thirty miles
below was compelled to discontinue
operations on account of the high
water as everything that looked
like a snag was under water. The
boat came up to town and was at
the dock a few days returning to
its snagging operations Monday.
The big rise in the Missouri was
caused by the general rains all
over the district it drains and an
especially heavy rain fall up the
Milk river valley.

The reception given at the libr-

the members of the school board
and their wives for the teachers
was used asa medium to get &C.

affair.
An opportunity was given for

md the artist deliniated the scene
it portrayed with black thread on
white muslin. Some were very
artistic. Scenes like the COW jump.

Of the spoon BY the dish and the
adventures Of the cat ahd the fiddle
all stood out like brass knobs on
black painted doors. True it was
difficult to discern the difference
between the giddy spoon and cir
cumspect fiddle and the cat that
figured in the violin episode bore
a remarkable resemblance to the
sheep that caused Bo Peep no end
of trouble but the artistic temper
ment was there life size and no
doubt remains but if many of the
artists assembled at the Library on
that occasion, would throw their
whole soul into the matter, in the
course of very few weeks they
could make the efforts of Rosa
Bonheur look like mud pie in a
Delmonico pantry.
Light refreshments were served
in the course of the evening and
by going home time every one
knew every one else and the recep-
tion was a success in every way.
