ROOM FOR THE AMBITIOUS

Not only did the land show at New
York illustrate to visitors that Mon
tana and other states Of the North
west raise products that can not be
eNce!led, but they also learned that
there Is room in the northwestern
country for tens of thousands of am
bilious, intelligent settlers. In the
Montana exhibit ut New York there
were displayed placards on which
were printed striking facts comparing
the size Of Montana with other states.
One OF these showed that there are
four counties in Montana whose com
bined area "a, 7o3 square milas-is
greater than the whole area Of New
York state, yet the population of
these four counties does not equal
the population OF the town Of
Schenectady, y. y.
These four counties are Chouteau
with an area of l5,5.o square miles
ana population Of l7.1DI: Custer,
area l2,ol5, population II, !o3; DaW-
son. area 1900, population 12,t:O.
The total area Of New York state is

ton Of Schenectady is 12,>2t.
Montana, Washington, Nebraska,

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
Truck Load of Logs Taken at Twi-
light by Workmen Here.

On a recent Saturday evening,
slightly before dark, big truck with
an unusually wide tread and very wide
tires, drove down Palisade avenue
to Bridleway, turning into Cumber-
mede road and went north about four
hundred feet. The driver was there
met by some Italian workmen, who
quickly loaded on it some heavy logs
that were near. Then going back to
Bridleway and Palisade avenue, the
driver met other Italians who were
busy saving more trees and loading
them on the truck When good
load was on, the truck was driven
away south out Palisade avenue to-
wards Cliffside
In the meantime a passerby hap
pened to see all this and fastened to
ask Supt. Garfield May if the wood
were being removed on his authority.
He said no, jumped on wheel and
scooted after the truck which he
caught in Grantwood The driver
said he was hauling the wood under
orders from the men who cut it. He
was allowed to go and Mr. May went
after the real culprits, whom he knew.
They were made to pay for the wood
and warned not to attempt it again.

My dear Mr. Flynt:
Notwithstanding the fact that your
long letter of July was promptly re-
ceived and was so highly interesting, |
have come to the conclusion that
you can scarcely believe all that you
write and that you are a gay deceiver.
First you threatened to fall in love
with one of my cousins, and in the
next breath you intimate something
or other about wanting to see some
one alonei Who can the? Are you
did not say outright, | fear it must be
someone | do not know. But | will
say, that no matter who she NAV be,
she should feel herself lucky, not to
say honored, because seeing you at all
seems to be one of the problems. Per
sonally | am free to admit some little
disappointment that you have not
dropped in before the Cincinnati party
went away. Both Susanna and Eliza
beth were wild to see you, and | could
not blame anyone for falling in love
with either one of them, they are so
attractive and lovable | had talked
you up as paragon and laid stress
so heavily upon your points" that
they went away quite broken-hearted
at not seeing MIR. Flynt" And |
was not particularly complimented at
your not calling, though | have no
rights in the premises But | do so
like a sincere man. You know YOU
did not write the truth in your last
letter, though it is just as we'll | have
found it out. We sail at ten to-mor-
row. Au revoir.
Yours very truly,
Elise French.

time for meditation and | needed it.
And now if | had to decide that old
debating subject, | would make de-
cision in favor of the negative, for |
have had my trials since January
/, as you must admit The truth is,
Miss French, | don't know what to
unexpectedly some six months or
more ago | felt that there was an
appeared to be a case of at least some
congeniality on the part of both. |
rather felt that you had understood
me better than most young ladies, and
1t was fattering to my vanity that you
should have given me almost an en-
tire evening of your charming society
without so much as an intimation of
boredom. Indeed | rather hattered
myself that you were pleased that our
conversation drifted into pleasant by
ways, and inwardly | have many times
reJolced over that one touch of sym
pathetic response | felt had been
aroused, and it has many times since
come to me as a solace-a kind Of in
applicable something for my fancy to
revert to, don't you know Perhaps |
have built air castles out of that par
tlcular evening, and for which, let me
say here in passing, | have no regret!
And do you know, my dear Miss
French, that seeing you again so re-
Gently has aroused once more those
dear memories of the cotllion? True,
we did not drift in the all too short
run from Greenwood Lake on the
Fourth, for the reason that thoughts
OF your father Juggling at the broken
automobile alone, and being compelled
to leave him there alone with your
patient mother made any other sub
ject except the accident out Of the
question. / wanted to say a lot to
you, but one cannot steer a car over
an unknown road and carry on much
OF conversation without running
many chances.
| regretted also being unable to dine
at your home that evening and though
your invitation was most cordial and
sincere, it would have been a perilous
venture for me to take in auto togs!
Besides as | might have expected you
were to have guests again
Now, when | see you again, | want
it to be under conditions more to my
liking than to have several others
around to whom | should be more or
less indifferent, no matter how very at
tractlve they might be in themselves
Is not this a very plain acknowledge
ment that ! am not Indifferent? Or,
perhaps | should say that you have
impressed me very much, and | would
like to claim something more at your
hands than a mere conversation? [
looked into your eyes the other day
and thought | saw in them an interest
ing story. Some day l may tell you
what it is. Are you good at guess
ing? And shall | tell you here with
out your asking? Well, then, the
story will be "contiued in my next"
whenever that may be.
You say | may join your box party
at the circus? Thank you very great
ly. fear | had better not dare, if
those fascinating cousins of yours
from Cincinnati are to be there My
heart is gone already, and | do not
want to lose it again
In the meantime if | am not at the
circus shall probably do something
worse that night night just to spite
