An April First Party,

A young girl having a birthday on
the first of April devised and carried
out this pretty party in a most sue
cessful manner. The invitations were
Issued on foolscap paper, asking each
girl to come dressed as fool" the
costumes to be made Of cotton ma
terial and crepe paper, so the expense
would not be great, but just as much
fun. Red and green, the TESTERS col
ors, were carried out in every detail
as far as possible. On the red candle
shades funny little donkey heads were
outlined in green. The Ices were
served in the dearest little green pa
per cabbage heads and the fruits
proved to be excellent limitations In
the real fruit shapes and colors, only
they were candy boxes, and the sup
posei chocolate eclairs were hlled
with creamed chicken. delicious
cream sauce was passed to put over
them. There were all sorts Of anus
ing games, such as marbles Tor the
girls and doll dressing contest for
the boys, a whistling contest for the

boys, all having simple prizes for the
best. There were clowns and testers.
The children said ut was the best
party ever" and so the mother who
planned the affair was amply repaid
for her trouble. l give list OF names
of real clowns and testers who once
existed: Archie Armstrong, the famous
Jester of King James l.; Chicot, the
Jester whom Dumas has immortallzed
in his novels; Triboulet and Brusquet,

A Qetestation Party.

The hostess said in her message,
which was given over the telephone:
please come, wearing an article
which will express your greatest dis
like" AS men were included in the
invitations we were prepared for some
thing very unusual and were not dis
appointed. There were twenty guests
and here are few examples of what
happened: A sedate matron came COM
pletely covered with realistic little
wiggly snakes, most of them pur-
chased at a Japanese store; others
were of the vivid green variety so
much in favor for St. Patrick's day; q
beau of the town appeared with his
head adorned by a curious collection
of false hair, braids, puffs, rats vary
ing from golden to jet black, which
plainly showed his dislike for false
hair. A young girl wore a necklace
made from tiny imitation, but realistic
cigars, with cigars of larger size IN
her hair; a young matron had num-
Der of toy and candy mice adjoining
her white frock; one girl wore an enor-
nous quantity of paste jewelry, strings
! of beads, ETC., and another had her
dress ornamented with ads of whisky
and champagne. 1t was really very
clever affair and created much merrl-

INSANE SUSPECT GOES FREE.
Butte Man, Disappointed In Love, De
cIared Rational.

Butte.-Frank Seaman, who was ex-
amined as to his sanity, was declared
rational and given his liberty. He
was brought here from Fargo, N. D.,
where he had been declared insane,
but apparently he has recovered. The
Fargo officers declared that as Butte
was Scanlan's home this state should
care for him and they left him with
local officials.
Scanlan is we'll known in this city,
having formerly worked for the Great
Northern here. He acted in a strange
and unusual manner after the Fargo
girl he loved Tilted him and married
another man. He went from Butte to
Houston, Tex, where on February 10
he wrote to his woman friend saying
she had practically killed him by mar
rying another man and threatened tc
kill her on sight. Two weeks later he
appeared in the city where she lived
and was arrested when within two
blocks of her house with loaded re.
volver in his pocket.

Missoula.-With every condition
pointing directly to suicide the body
OF Ole Lundcr, a lumber camp worker,
was found suspended by noosed
hammock rope from an upper bunk
in Northern Pacific outfit car. Cor.
oner c. H. Marsh was called to take
care of the remains
Self destruction was the result of
desperately determined efforts, Lunder
having severed the radial arteries in
both wrists with a razor, cut his
throat deeply above the thorax and
while the blood streamed from these
incisions he succeeded in suspending
himself from the upper rail of the
car. A mattress. blood soaked and
telling tale OF the awful deed in
other ways, was found few feet
from the body. According to state
ments made by the coroner, the sui
eide was sufficiently conversant with
anatomy to be able to locate the radial
arteries and had severed these before
inflicting the other wounds. The
body has been fully identified by men
who have worked in camps near Mis-.
soula. He has no family here, but
his relatives live in Norway.

when the moment for that interview

which case it Is suicide, cheeks scar

young woman!
1t is the crisis Of two lives end no
earthquake can postpone 1t.
Mr.. Forrest knocks at the library
door. Mr.. Wilson bids him enter and
he is lost to the view of the girl in the
hall. According to precedent she
should rush back to the parlor and sit
down and shiver and tremble and re-
call her "Now lay me down to SLEEP"

success that l am sure there will be
many more in the next two weeks

tainly was an innovation and came
about by one of the girls saying "she
was so tired out, so weary of formal
function, SO bored by being debutante
that she wished for something differ
ent." The something different came
in the form of wee note which said:

was not an absent guest, assure you.
They found the great drawing-room
with shades nearly drawn, a log fire,
touches with piles of pillows and
afghans. When all had arrived the
hostess said no one was to talk until
moved to do SO, then only in the low
est voice. Quite mystifled, the girls
found places and maid noiselessly
passed piping hot bouillon and crisp
waters; then from the next roo,sl
low sweet voice to guitar accom-
paniment sang a series of lullab1es
then the same voice read several de-
lightful stories in low, distinct tone
the person was concealed by screen
then there was simply nothing doing
for fifteen minutes, each girl being
told to close her eyes and tell at the
end of that time her vision. This took
another half hour, when q tray OF

were served with candied ginger. After
