HORSEBACK MARRIAGE

Romance Of Montana Claim Holders
eliminates at Fort Benton.
Fort Benton.-Miss Frances Hand
werk, who came from the east last
summer and took a homestead east of
here, was united in marriage to Carrot
J.. Van De Riet. The marriage was
the elimination of a romance carried
on largely on horseback, the young
people having first met as they were
looking after their farming interests
and the bridegroom having rescued his
future bride from a perilous position
when her horse became unmanage-
able.
AS fitting finale of the courtship
the marriage ceremony was performed
while the principals were seated on
their horses at the front door of the
Methodist parsonage. Then the happy
couple turned their horses heads
towards their prairie home forty-five
miles out.

the west, and the tonnage for the rail-
way company would be heavy.

Why He Couldn't slt Down.

Harry. aged six, IL an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care Of him.
The first pair of knickerbockers were
secured recently. and It was proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement Of knickerbockers
and there was suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed, as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down. but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped OF
again. Harry, you must sit down"
Grandma, can't. My pants is chok-
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be-
fore. Harry stood up during the re-
mainder Of the service.

The law against priZe-fighting and

true that prosecutions have followed a
recent match in Tampa, but this was
an exception to the rule. Boxing

there has ben very little protest. In
fact, it would seem to be matter for

The Tribune admires the "spunk" of
the Ocala paper in championing the
cause of the priZe-fight contingent in
it's own city. From all the Star says,
the match must have been a thorough
ly gentlemanly affair, not sufficiently
bloody to shock the most refined and
delicate sensibilities. No one was bad

to have been well pleased. And we

A PEssIMIsTIC PROPHET

It was time for Senator Joseph w.
Bailey to retire from the United States
Senate. His connection with the Stand
ard Oil Company has really and truly
made him a high priest of the worship
OF the golden calf. In what he called
his farewell address. to his colleagues
at dinner In Washington Saturday
night, he predicted that IL conditions
in the United States continued to
change in the next thirty years as they
had in the past thirty. and along the
same lines, the south would face a
condition parallel to that of the French
revolution. He charged that the MEM
bers of Congress. by cowardice. are re-
which prevails. He virtually charged
the democratic party with exaggerat-
ing the Importance of existing evils.
and said:
"This country Is much nearer a crisis
which is greater in it's import than the
wisest men Of our nation think. I
don't say that we are just now facing
such a state of affairs, but do main
tain that IL these changes continue we
win find ourselves face to face with
such a condition. You congressman
can prevent this. You will do so If
you have the courage to go out and
tell the truth. The impatience of the
minority party. which I am member.
Is largely responsible for the state of
mind Of the people, for they have
grossly exaggerated the evils under
which the country Is laboring."
