Deadly Prussic Acid.

Prussic acid Is so deadly that even the smell of the acid produces pain in the throat and in the region of the heart. There are. few poisons for which there is such little opportunity for an antidote. If there is time-and there seldom is, for the poison is al most fnstantaneous-ammonia inhaled very freely may give relief and reduce the absolute certainty of death to a grave probability.

 That lively little green grass snake, the pet of William Roth, at Frink's drug store, has gone-Roth doesn't know where. He wishes he did; so do his comrades ln the store, not particularly because they care about the loss of the snake. but because of a vague and haunting suspicion that it is still some where in the store, and likely to re- appear when least expected. The snake was kept in large bottle, from which it escaped. Roth is quite sure that. with the exception of the snake there was nothing in the bottle. This disposes of all possible ground for the suspicion that somebody swallowed the reptile.

NEWLY-MARRIED COUPLE
TURNS JOKE ON sERENADERS

Serenaders were out in force at
Pinehurst last Saturday night. In
addition to the usual orchestra con-
sisting Of bells. horns, horse fiddles,
etc., etc.. the boys brought with the
the big steam engine belonging to
the Big Draw Traction company. The
bride and groom, disguised as SER
enaders, each with an old pan, took
their stand in the gloom on the road
side, and as the stealthy procession
passed along, they fell in behind and
mingled with the crowd. Soon the
house was reached, and at a given
signal the band began to play. The
horns footed and bells jingled, while
the big steam whistle screeched, and
boys and men shouted themselves
hoarse, but all was dark and quiet
in the house. Again the music peal
ed forth louder and louder, until
the tortured eardrum seemed about
to burst with the strains, while the
dogs Of the neighborhood howled
in sympathy. At last. a. the music
lulled for = moment, the well-known
voice Of the mischievous little bride
was heard from the rear of the
party: Keep it UP boys. all night:
let's make 'em come out before we
Quit!" A shout went up. and the
bride and groom were marched to
the front. They had been helping
the boys serenade their own empty
house.-Dayton Leader.

The initial number of the lecture
course entertainments given by the
Borromeo club was given in Skyles'
hall Saturday night with the presen-
tation of"The Strollers, -four musical
young men who pleased a good-sized
audience immensely. Their singing
in chorus was repeatedly encored,
and their appearance in Scotch and
sailor costumes was striking. Es-
pecially pleasing were the readings
and the violin performance by one ef
the company. The club is to be
congratulated upon bringing such
high-class attractions to this city.
This is only one of the five enter
tainments that will appear here dur
ing the course of the season under
the auspices of the Borromeo club.

what morbid taste in rings was
evinced by the custom of wearing me-
mortal or mourning rings bearing the
name and date Of the death of the de-

this type at one time very popular

MAKING MAPS OF MONTANA

This Years Surveying Activities.
During the present season tho
United Stated Geological Survey top
ographic engineers have been and
are now at work on the survey Of
the areas known as the Midvale and
Nyack quadrangles. lying just south
Of the new Glacier National Park, a
fine map Of which was completed
last year. but it is doubtful If the
topographers will complete the
survey of the Nyack quadrangles be-
fore winter weather makes surveying
impossible in the high attitudes. The
surveys of the Brockton and Sand
Butte quadrangles, in the extreme
eastern part of the state, will be COM
pleted; these Quadrangles lie partly
within the Fort Peck Indian Reser-
walton. Other work includes profile
surveys of some 200 square miles or
more in the southwestern part OF
the state south and southwest OF
Butte in the vicinity of Melrose. The
area is being mapped with a view to-
future detailed geologic investiga-
lions of the phosphate deposits re-
Gently discovered by the Geological
Survey.
In the survey of these areas in
Montana seven topographic engineers
and twelve assistants, accompanied
by experienced mountaineers per-
forming the duties of cooks and
teamsters, have been at work this
year.
Sold at Nominal Cost.
Topographic sheets are sold by
the Director of the Geological Sur
vey at Washington, at the nominal
rate of cents a copy or SO a hun
dred if at least 100 copies of any map
or maps are purchased, a price es-
timated to cover only the cost of pa
per and printing. The Survey will
also furnish without charge an index
map showing the quadrangles which
have been mapped in Montana.
The making of this map of Mon
tana is but part of the c.nstruc-
ton of the topographic map of the
whole United States which the Geo.
logical Survey is completing as rap
idly as Federal appropriations allow.
At the present time about 81 per
cent of the area of the United States
has been thus surveyed and the
