We want TO commend the sportsman
ship OF our high school boys who were
members OF the football team. They
didn't win game and scored but one
touchdown but no one heard them COM
plain nor did they exhibit any yellow
streak all through the season. The
boys did the best they could aud were
good losers and il takes more to be a
good loser than good winner. We
hope that the experience they gained
this year will put them in position 70
make a good showing next year. Crys'
tai Falls has reason TO feel proud OF
their boys for the manly qualities they
showed all through.

Rules For Deer Hunters

Always wear a bright colored uni

hunter you will probably hit him.
The deer can be distinguished from
the COW by the shape of the horns.
The COW has two short horns slightly
curved. while the deer has two funda-
mental horns which branch out in
several different directions. The deer
also has more sensitive expression of
countenance than the COW and the
shape OF its tail is different SO you can
easily tell deer FROM COW when APP

May Expose Black Hand.

CHICAGO, March 28.-Secret service
operatives are about to explode a
"black hand" bomb that is expected
finally to bring to justice officers and
members of that body that in q little
more than one year has claimed forty
lives and caused a reign OF terror in
the Italian district.
The threat upon the life of Judge
Lands of the United States district
court, it was learned yesterday, was
but one feature of a program of
threats and blackmail that has been
carried into the midst of the govern
ment's department of justice in Chi.
cago. The threats are said to have
resulted in the recalling of members
of the F. G. AIongi jury, which dis.
agreed after hearing evidence in a
"blackhand" case q week ago, and
the discovery that members of the
jury had been terrorized and that
their inability to reach q verdict pro.
badly was the direct result of these
threats.

An Indians joke.

Indians extract no little quiet eniov.
ment from what seem to them TO he
oddities in the speech. manners and
customs of white people. An Aropa-
hoe stepped into the store Of a trader
one day to purchase some tobacco.
The traders son was in charge of the
place. Now, this son was at that en-
barrassing stage of growth when the
voice is changing, so that he v
could tell whether tenor tones would
issue from his lips or babylike fall
setto or de profundis bass. On this
occasion when the Indian asked for
tobacco the youths bass notes held the
right Of way, though they were speed
lily followed by Ascending tones up to
a squeaky falsetto.
He asked the Indian. Twill You have
fine cut tobacco or a plug?" beginning
in a growl and ending in birdlike So

vocal variety and then without a smile
reversed the process and, beginning
with the youths highest note and end
ing with his lowest, scaled, Il think
I'll take some plug."-Southern Work

CheerfuIness and Cholera.

A cheerful disposition is held by
some doctors to be the best protection
against cholera. When this disease
first visited Paris in 1882 a notice was
issued advising the inhabitants ito
avoid as far as possible all occasions
Of melancholy and all painful emo
lions and to seek plenty Of distractions
and amusements. Those with a bright
and happy temperament are not likely
to be stricken down." This advice was
largely followed, and eel when chol-
era was claiming over a thousand
weekly victims the theaters and cafes
were thronged. The epidemic was in
some quarters treated as a huge joke,
and plays and songs were written
around it. Rochefort wrote a play,
lie Cholera Morbus," which proved a
big success, and another production
on the same lines, "Paris-malade," also
had a long run.-London Chronicle.

Exercise and Rest"

What is the relation between exer
else and rest? Work is that at which
We must continue, whether interesting
or not, whether we r tired or not.
1t used to be thought that the prime
requisite Of rest was the use Of facul-
ties other than those involved in the
labor of the day. But there Is such a
thing as fatigue which goes deeper
than daily work. We can work so
hard as to become exhausted-too ex-
hausted for any kind of work. Per-
haps this is will fatigue. 1t is coming
to be regarded as fundamentally true
that rest from such fatigue demands
continuity; that, for example. four Pc
RODS of fifteen minutes each Of rest is
not the equivalent of one hours rest;
that a man who goes on a vacation
and takes half an hour Of his business
work every day is doing the same
thing as the man who had a horse
with a sore back. He kept the saddle
on only a few minutes each day. but
the sore did not have a chance to heal.
Rest periods must be sufficiently con-
secutive to overcome consecutive IA

Ether is consumed by gallons to get
drunk on in a small part Of Scotland.
The origin Of this peculiar and limited
abuse is strange. In 1913 a bad cpl

cask. He made his fortune and start
ed the habit that lasts till yet. Ether
is sold over counters in Scotland, the
penny a drink. An old ether topper can
drink two or three ounces a day, but
one-half ounce is one big dram in wa
ter. The drinker gets hilarious in a
minute. 1t is far wilder and more
dangerous than alcohol.

A NON.PARTISAN JUDICIARY.

The Montana law providing for
non.partisan nominations for judicial
offices Is invalid and imperative, &C.
cording to a decision rendered by the
supreme court 10 q case presented by
q Butte aspirant for the Office OF
police magistrate. The defects in the
law are announced by the court to be
as follows:
"The act is void because it is not
and cannot be made to be q general
statute of uniform operation through.
out the state in this:
II. 1t could not be made opera
tive in divisions of the state whose
boundaries had been changed since
the election last preceding the enact
mentO OF the measure and before the
act went into effect.
"(b) 1t cannot be made to opera ate
In divisions of the state whose bounda.
ries have been or may hereafter be
changed since the bill went into effect.
"0c) 1t does not make any provision
for judicial nomin atoms in newly ere.
ated municipalities or other newly ere.
ated divisions OF the state.
"2. The purpose of the act is not
clearly expressed in the title"
The non-partisa an judiciary act was
passed by the legislature of 1909, was
followed in the municipal elections Of
that year and the next year, as we'll
as IN the general elections last fall.
In the latter elections Chief Justice
Brantly of the supreme court, as we'll

candidates..
3. The initiative, the referendum
and the recall.
4. A stringent corrupt practice act.
These, it will be observed, are not
political policies, ss the tariff, q par.
cells post and q mail ship subsidy are
policies. They touch only party meth.
DDS and party machinery. Whatever
the policies may be that any party at
any time may wish to carry into effect
or to dodge, these proposed changes
would affect only the method Of deal
ing with them. They are a blow at
boss and clique nomin atoms, and are
a move to put u party and our leg.
islstive machinery within direct reach
of the people. In q word, they are the
"Oregon idea" extended; and Senator
Bourne is one Of the leading spirits in
the league.
The proposals are, Of course. q di.
rect protest against the purchase of
United States senstorships. whether
by cash or by intrigues of bosses and
''interests," and against the control
of any nominations by these forces.
The program OF the Republican Pro.
gressive league has in it the posi-
bilities of q split ia the party; but
such q split is not likely. The stand
pat republicans will fight as long and
as hard as they can; but they will sur.
render rather than permit q perman.
ent division. That wing of the party
cannot afford to set up business for
itself, because 1t is far too much
discredited in the public mind. Its
leaders are ''childless children of the
night" and the coming of daylight on
their methods is fatal to them as q
separate party. Leadership of the
party, If it is to hold its own or win
again, must pass to more liberal and
progressive men. And the more lib.
eral and progressive men are In more
or less sympathy with the Republican
Progressive league.

OPEN CROW RESERVE.
Members Of Congress Misied By
Lobby Of Attorneys.

Members Of Congress Misied By
Lobby Of Attorneys.
According to a w sshington special
to the Anaconda Standard, there is
little prospect hat the SD congress
will authorize the opening of the Grow
Indian reservation in Montana, al.
though Sen ator Dixon and Represen.
tative Pray will re.introduce their
respective bills for this purpose as
soon as the session opens. The bill
undoubtedly can again pass the SEN
ate, as it has done three times, but in
the house it will stand a very poor
chance.
A firm OF Washington attorneys,
ostensibly employed by the Crow To-.
dams, but suspected Of representing
big cattle and sheep Der who now
lease the Crow reserv alton range, were
successful in blocking the Crow bill
during the recent session by working
up strong sentiment against it among
the democratic members. Champ
Clark, the minority leader; Represen.
tative Fitzgerald Of New. York, Rep.
resentative Stevens of Texas, and half
q dozen other representative demo.
Gratis were appealed to by those at.
torneys. and were convinced that the
proposed opening would operate to
the detriment of the Indians and in
the interest OF a few wealthy stockmen.
This sentiment was we'll worked up
when Mr.. Pray finally secured con.
sideration for his bill, and once the
debate opened, these democrats rushed
to the front with objections. Repre-
sentative Pray, who maintained that
the opening would be q benefit rather
than q detriment to the Indians, soon
discovered that party lines we're being
drawn on his bill, and in his conclud.
ing argument assaulted the democrats
for their united stand against the bill.
in the face of strong official recon.
mend alton in its favor. The speech
OF Mr.. Pray only served to solidify
the democratic opposition, and when
the bill came to a vote practically ev-
cry democrat voted against it..
