GET READY FOR THE CLEAN
UP CAMPAIGN ON ARBOR DAY,
MAY 8.
Made Dumas Retract,

The elder Dumas was once sued for
stating in one of his novels, LA
Route de Varennes," that the capture
of Louis XVI. and Marie AntoineNe
at Narennes by the revolutionaries was
due to the action of the Chevalier de
Prefontaine in shutting the door Of his
house on the fugitives.
A grandson of the chevalier consid-
cred this an aspersion on his ances-
tors chivalry and proved in court that
the statement was untrue. An order
was issued compelling Dumas publish.
er to call in all copies of the novel and
to issue within one month fresh edi-
ton with note that the Chevalier de
Prefontaine placed his house at the
disposal of the royal fugitives.

and by persistently keeping at it,
managed to win the heart OF the
strong-minded old maid.
John Lindhe certainly did look tn
part of the well-tO-do grain dealer,
and carried himself with the dignity
md ease OF multi-milliOnaire The
only time he faltered was when
some heavy weight in the audience
crashed through a chair and set the
whole house in an uproar. Any Sigh
confusion was certainly pardonable
under the circumstances.
Alvin Schoonover made a dandy
Hebrew, and in between times when
he was not buying hogs and trying
to solve riddles, he did a little love
making as a side line.
William Riemann, as Torrance, tn
man with past,had difficult role,
but played his part as a haunted
criminal to perfection.
Mrs. M. C. Greene took the part of
Laura Hartley, the village belle. He
carriage and stately appearance
made her we'll fitted for the part,
and nothing could daunt her love
for the brilliant town marshal, in
whom she had the utmost faith.
Mrs. c. H. Jennings made a typica
old maid. The part was we'll car
ried out all through the play, and in
spite Of being very strong-minded,
lost her heart to the South Dakota
farmer.
Mrs. J. G. Cameron, we'll looked
the smischievious young girl of Is
summers, without a care in the
world. When not running errands
and making herself otherwise use
full, she and Ikey had their little
love spats.
1t takes consci entious effort and
hard work to stage play and carry
it through successfully, and much
credit is due William Riemann,the
director, and the other members of
the company who have devoted SO
much of their time during the past
six weeks to make it the grand sue
cess that it was.

DRAMATIC CLUB ENTERTAINED

The Woman's Civic club entertain
ed the Dramatic club at supper
Monday evening at the Lindell, in
appreciation for services rendered
in playing THE Town Marshall for
their benefit
The evening was pleasantly spent,
interpreted with music. The men,
bers worked hard to make the play
success, and they were assured
that their services were thoroughly
appreciated. In fact the whole city
joins in extending to them a vote
of thanks. The club will clear over
hundred dollars as a result.
The fund lacks nearly a hundred
dollars to make the required amount
$3.50, and it is contemplated to re-
peat the play little later on, as so
many requests have come from peo-
pie who were not able to attend, to
have it put on again.

ASPHYNIATED By GAS WHILE
SLEEPING ON ASH PILE

The report comes from Troy that
negro and a white man laid down
on a pile of Sand Coulee ashes and
died. The fireman have been using
this in a jocular way to show how
terrible are the effects of Sand Cou-
lee coal. 1t appears that at Troy the
ashes as they are dumped from the
engines are hauled off to a pile
while they are still holland the big
heap is always warm. The two men
in question evidently laid down on
these warm ashes in the night to
sleep and inhaled the gases rising
therefrom, which asphyxiated them.

Therefore, if the traveller must

hoist the old bot" in a day coach.
Al that. even in the prescribed
drinking places, the passenger must
not show signs of intoxication if he
would keep out of court. The law
is MOI clear on some points. Can a
man drink from his own bottle in
the diner, buffet or sleeper, or must
lie purchase the shot from the man
in the buffet or diner? Some trav-
elers prefer their particular home
brand to that dispensed on the train
Can a man sitting in sleeping car
drink boldly from his bottle or must
he tip the porter to fetch him a
drink from the buffet? Can a man
furnish his own beer in a diner, or
must he pay two prices for bottle
OF foaming beverage dispensed in
the car3
Again, when is man intoxicated?
Some men can drink gallon of
booze and appear genteel, dignified
Others get the talk habit after the
first couple of shots. Four men, for
instance, sit at the festal board in

Sixteen delegates returning from
the annual lodge reunion sit in the

little tableful of Puritans, and the
Puritans ask the head waiter to call
the singers down. Are those dele
gates spiflicated or merely full of
enthusiasm carried over from the re-
union?
Another point that is likely to be
raised: The passenger boards the
train with the assistance of friends,
is planted in a seat and falls into
deep slumber. Is he dead, or mere
ly sleeping

Perhaps Our Equals


Across the mighty ocean
Are many people strange
Who do not run their business
The way we ours arrange
They do not speak our language
Nor use our coin for change.
These very funny people
Have slant and oblong eyes.
They think that we are foolish
And they are wondrous wise.
The stories that we tell them
They call a pack of lies. :.
They look on us as heather
And ignorant and low.
They place themselves above us,
Which puts US down below,
But as they do not know us
wonder how they know. Fl
Who says they are mistaken?
Who knows they are not right?
Are we to be the judges
To say that we are bright
Because their skin Is yellow
And ours Is nearer white?
The fact Is they are human.
With feelings like our own
One heart. two lungs and so forth,
AS scientists have shown.
There might be little difference
II but the truth were known.

BODY FOUND IN
FLATHEAD RIVER

While river drivers in the employ
OF the HOLSTER Lumber company
were at work in a slough close to
The main channel Of the Flathead
river, about half a mile above the
Columbia Falls bridge, they I'M
earthed the skeleton of d man from
out of the sand and driftwood.
Coroner Waggener was at once>no
titled and went to the sandbar. and
dlslnterred the bones. All the cloth
ing was gone, but one shoe, which
was a high leather shoe and hob
nailed. The shoemaker at Column
Dla Falls says that the work of
hob-nailing the shoe was done by
him.
There was no one in Columbia
Falls who could identify the skele-
ton. Those who were acquainted
with the Milwaukee surveyors who
were drowned in the North Fork
two years ago, one of whom was a
son of Harvey Parker, say that the
skeleton is considerably too large
to be any of them, and that it must
be that of the Great Northern en-
glneer who was lost at Paola about
the same time.
The man was evidently a very
large man from the measurements
of the bones. All the work of iden-
tlflcation left besides measurements
11e the one shoe and a rather pc

superintendent Smith at Waite
fish has been notified, and he will
communicate with relatives of the
man drowned at Paola, in an effort
to identify the skeleton.
The body evidently had floated
down from up stream during high
water, and became entangled in the
drift wood in this slough When
the water went down, brush, limbs
and sand covered it up When dis
covered yesterday, only one bone
was protruding from the cover OF
sand.
Coroner Waggener brought the
remains to kalispell with him, and
they are at his undertaking parlors
