LAND SCRIP WILL APPLY.

The ruling of the Land Department
that a Soldiers Additional Home.

although SO recognized for forty
years has been q blessing In disguise
to the people of Northern Montana,
or that vast domain North of the
Missouri, and Marias Rivers, which
was once part of the Blackfeet Indian
Reserv alton.
The decision referred to led to ef-
forts of relief and the result 10 az Act
of Congress approved March 3, 1911,
of great importance to the people of
that region.
In general, this Act makes the for.
mel Blackfeet Reservation subject to
the operations of the public land laws
generally. Homestead entries may
now be committed not under the En-.
larged Homestead Act J and this right
will be widely beneficial. Timber and
Stone entries may be made and iso-
lated tracts purchased.
Best of all, If you want quick title
to a tract of public land for any pur-
pose, you q secur same by the use
of LAND SCRIP. The new law makes

ment showing the appropriations for

Check Artists Must Beware.

In response to a query from the
county attorney of Teton county, At.
torney General Galen's Office has en-
dered an opinion with respect to the
liability of passing worthless checks
is, checks drawn upon q bank
where there are no funds to meet them.
In essence such an act is held to be q
felony, coming within that provision
of the statutes which says every per.
o who obtains money or property
from another by means of brace faro,
or any false or worthless checks, or
by any other means commonly called
confidence games, is punishable by
Imprisonment In the state prison not
exceeding ten years.
Continuing, the opinion says: The
terms brace faro and false or worth
less checks, being specific terms, could
not be limited in their application by
the phrase ''by any other means com.
monty called confidence game or bum
co." and therefore, the giving of a
worthless check for the purpose of
obtaining money thereon would not
arily be q confidence or bunco
game. The state OF Illinois has q
statute very similar to our own except
that it uses the words "false or bogus
Checks" while ours uses the words
"false or worthless checks" Under
our statute a check may be genuine
and yet worthless. IT the checks were
genuine no natter how worthless they
might be-, the person obtaining money
by their use could not be prosecuted
under their statute because they must
be "bogus."

MASSASOIT

It was the dead of winter in 1921
The handful OF hardy English pill
grims" who had landed a few months
Cling to keep body and soul together
in the bleak Massachusetts climate
Their provisions were scanty, their
dwellings rude and insufficient. Their
prospects of maintaining life on that
desolate, cold coast seemed worse
than doubtful. Had the bravest, most
hopeful of them all been told that the
wretched little colony would grow and
flourish until it should one day become
the bulwark of American liberty-he
would have laughed the idea to scorn
Or, rather-as the pilgrim fathers
frowned upon such idle joys as laugh
ter-he would more probably have had
the rash prophet clapped into the
stocks.
welcome, EngIishmen!"
The pilgrims worst fears were of
an Indian raid. The enmity of the
savages, they lrew, would be the fore
most barrier in the way Of their col
ony's prosperity and permanent life.
So, when, one day, during that first
bitter winter, an Indian advanced from
the forest toward group of busy
Plymouth settlers, they grasped their
muskets in alarm. Their fear changed
to amaZement as the savage halted
and called to them in perfect English:
Welcome, Englshmen!"
The native, Samoset by name, had
picked up the words from certain Pc
noDscot fishermen. He went on to
say that he was a messenger from the
great Indian king, Massasoit, ruler
of the confederacy of Wampanong
tribes, and that he brought from his
royal master assurances of peace.
A short time afterward-March Is,
1621-Massasoit himself with SO war
riors drew near to the colony The
king was ready TO greet the white men
as friends, but was equally ready, in
case of hostile demonstrations on
their part, to destroy them. Thus,
though he bore food and furs with
him, yet he and his braves were
armed and in full warpaint. Edward
Winslow. a delegate from the pill
grims, went forward to meet Massa-

housekeepers will say without think
ing: Il never measure anything" You
may not actually have a measuring

are taught to do in the cooking

measure with your eyes. This is very
difficult to do and can only be done
after long experience. Try and keep
a couple OF measuring cups, either

not cost very much and will save you

Capt. Miles Standish with a handful
of musketeers, ready to fire into the
clump of Indians at the first sign of
treachery. Winslow laid presents be-

corn and meat. Indeed, had his atti-
tude toward the pilgrims been differ

Massasoit was born in Massachu-
sets about 1880. He was hereditary
king of the Wampancags and ruled a
territory that stretched from Cape
Cod to Narragansett Bay. His people
had numbered about 10000. But short

Twice Saves Colony.
In the summer of 1921 an embassy
from the pilgrims visited Massasoit
near Narragansett Bay. He received
them in a scarlet hunting coat ard a
huge gilt chain-part of the presents
Carver had sent him-and renewed
his pledges Of friendship. Again in
1923, when Massasoit lay i'll, Winslow
visited him and tried to cure him by
means of such simple remedies as he
knew. Out Of gratitude the king told
Winslow of plot another tribe of In
dams had formed to massacre the set
tiers. By this timely warning he
again saved the colony.
Massasoit died in 1860 And with
his death fed the last hope of peace
between Indians and Massachusetts
