TOLD IN FEW WORDS.
Shortest Robber Story In History, IS
Narrated BY Veltaire.


Narrated by Voltaire.
In his study Of Seven Great States
men" Andrew D. White describes the
work done in the eighteenth century
by the French minister Turgot against
the vicious system then prevailing Of
farming out the taxes. A great
combination of contractors resulted,
who grew enormously rich at the peo-
pies expense, not, however, without
able criticism.
This syndicate assumed the charac-
ter Of what in America Of these days
would be called a combine" and at
the head Of it were the farmers gen
eral, wealthy, powerful and, as a rule,
merciless. Their power pervaded the
entire nation, from the kings apart
ments at Versailles to the cottages of
the lOwliest village
To those men and their methods Vol
taire had made a reference which ran
through France and indeed through
Europe.
A party of Parisians were amusing
each other by telling robber stories.
Presently VOlt&ire, who had been
listening quietly, said:
81 can tell a robber story better
than any Of yours"
The whole room Immediately be-
came silent and listened to the great
est parsonage in the French literature
of the eighteenth century.
Yoltaire after clearing his throat be-
gan as follows:
"Once on a time there was a farmer
general"
Then he was silent Presently all
began to cry out:
"Why do you stop? Go on. Tell US
the story"
Il have told the story" said Vol
taire. DO you not see that my state
ment implies the greatest robber story
in history

FURNITURE PURCHASED
FOR NEW SCHOOL HOUSE
LEWSTOWN FURNITURE CON-
PANY AND BILLINGS CONCERN
AWARDED CONTRACTS.

At meeting of the board of trus-
tees of School District No. /, held at
the office of the clerk last Wednes-
day afternoon, contracts for the fur
niture for the new public school build
ing, now in course of construction,
were awarded.
The contract for about three hum
dred desks was entered into with the
Billings School Supply & Novelty COM
pany. At previous meeting of the
board, Manager Joe S. Simineo of the
Billings company was present and
made good talk for the desks offered
by his company and samples of which
had been sent over several weeks
ahead of time. These desks are large
ly of steel construction, have ad-
justible seats and are sanitary in
every particular. Upon his recent
visit to ST. Louis, Chicago and other
big eastern cities, Prof. Davee found
the desks for sale by the Billings con.
cern in many of the larger and prac
tically all of the modern school build
ings which he visited. He strongly
recommended them and the board act
ed upon his advice in making selec
tion.
The order placed with the Billings
School Supply & Novelty company
amounts to between one thousand and
fifteen hundred dollars.
The order for teachers desks, teach
ers' tables and chairs, kindergarten
chairs and tables, blackboard and 8
number of other articles of furniture
was nlaced with the JewistoWn FIR
niture company. The furniture to be
provided by the local concern are also
of the most up-to-date quality and the
prices made by Manager Marsh com
pared favorably with those submitted
by eastern furniture establishments
The total cost of the furnishings fol
the big new building will exceed three
| thousand dollars.

.ELKS M|NSTRE[S
WILL MAKE BIG HIT
CHURCHILL is ROUNDING INTO
EXCELLENT FORM HIS LOCAL
BLACKJACK TALENT.

The most exciting event In Lewis
town at the present time seems to
be the coming Elks' minstrels, to be
given at Culvers' opera house on Mon
day and Tuesday evening, July IS and
16.
The Elks Of this city are noted for
doing things right when they start,
and the activity displayed at the Elks'
club up to date indicates that this is
to be no exception to the rule. A
visit to the headquarters any evening
will cause the visitor to imagine that
he is in the Grand opera house of New
York City, where the rehearsals of q
spectacular production are being
enacted.
In the lodge room will be found the
largest chorus of male voices ever
collected in this city, with display
| of local talent that at once stamps
the production as par excellence it.

The reading room Is converted to a
music studio, where Is to be seen a
company of Elks styled as the Elk
| trOubadOurS-eleVen men discOursing
sweet music on the mandolin, banjo,
banjourine, guitar and concert guitar,
Offering musical number rarely seen
outside Of a regular travelling organ

that are said to be of such char

take notice.
Shouts and laughter from still an.
other quarter lead us In that direction
only to find the much-talked of after
piece in preparation.
This, the closing feature of the per
formance, will introduce features new
er before seen on the stage in Lew

this Elk minstrel show is full ol
catchy music and abundance of clean
cut fun and innovations abounding iI
interest.

prospects. The PROPOSE
tion appealed to them and they
agreed to lend substantial assistance,
provided the people of Lewistown and
vicinity would show their confidence
by subscribing for a large block of the
stock. Upon their return to Lewis
town, Messrs. Bright and Cochrane
saw a number of their friends, with
the result that forty thousand dollars
worth of the stock has already been
taken up. Mrs. Georgiana Bright, w.
j. Johnson, George M. Stone, David
Hilger, M. l.. Woodman, J. ID. Waite,
William Abel, b. e. Stack and the
d'Autremont brothers are among those
who have already subscribed, and
others whom, it is believed. will be
interested, are yet to be seen.

The proposition has been worked
out so that it appeals strongly to the
shrewd investor An agreement has
already been entered into for the
leasing of the opera house at an an
nual rental of $4,000. Many of the
store buildings have already been
spoken for by Manager Bright of the

Will Break Ground Soon.
Representatives of the Chicago con.
cern interested in the proposition
will be in the city next week, at which
time 1t is proposed to close UP all
matters pertaining to the financial
end Of the enterprise. It Is expected
that within week following theil
arrival here, ground will be broken
for the building, which will be pushed
rapidly toward completion before snow
flies, the intention being to have II
completed and ready for use before
Christmas of this year. 1t is a big
job and it's success will speak volumes
for the pluck and enterprise of the
two young men who first conceived
the proposition and have worked SO
faithfully toward the consummation Of
their plans.
