And Tommy had his pockets full
of doughnuts big and round
And Scrubby had some apples
and a nickle that he found.
And had three big black cigars. e.,
took from Dads new vest
So we were well supplied with things
most needful in the west.
And then we walked and walked and
walked and trains went whizzing
past
And pretty soon ! said to Scrub,
Lets don't walk quite so fast"
And after while We stopped to eat
some doughnuts, and TO rest
And Tommy said they must have
moved the mountains farther west.
Scrubby spent his nickel
At little country store
And then he started down the road
And walked and walked some
more.
II made me shiver when | thought
of leaving home for good
And somehow nothlng seemed to be
Just like We thought it would.
When night came on and darkness fell
US kids were surely glum,
And began to cry and said
wish hadn' come.
We made a fire beside the road
and tried to light cigars
And then we heard the honking
of some automobile cars.
And who do you suppose it was
out looking for us then?
Twas Scrubby's dad and mine and half
a dozen other men.
And gee, us kids were mighty glad
TO whiz back home once more,
Fore there was no place quite like
home with mother in the door.
And ma she met us there and said,
'Why boys, where have you been?
And put her arms round Tom and me
aud took us both right in.
And Tommy cried and said he wished
his mother wasn't dead
But glory, how us kids did eat
before We went to bed.
Ma laughed at Tom and me and said
Go wash your hands and face,
We don't allow no dirty tramp
to hang around this place"
And afted awhile saw pa wink
at ma and say, MY stars,
wonder who the burglar was
that stole my best cigars"
Pa swore when Tommy told him
of the knocks he used to get,
And said, You'll not get licked again
while I'm alive. you bet"
And Tommy's going to live with us
as long as he will stay;
So after all I'm kind OF glad.
we tried to run away.

Helpful Cake MAKING Hints
Always sift -four and &c Baking
Powder at least three times. The
more sitting, the lighter the cake.
Remember that! To cream but
ter and sugar quickly, warm the
sugar slightly. Beat yolks of eggs
with rotary beaten. Whip whites
of eggs with fiat spoon whip.
Water makes lighter cakes; milk
makes richer cakes.
To mix a cake, first cream but
ter and sugar thoroughly, then add
yolks, if used. Then alternately
add moisture and -four that has
been sifted with baking powder
and stir until smooth and glossy,
adding egg whites after thoroughly
mixing.
AlsUays use KC Bakfmg POwdey.
Biscuit Helps
Always sift -four and K G Baking
/ Powder at least three times.
Have shortening cold and firm.
Mix dough as soft as it can be
handled. The softer dough goes
into the oven, the lighter the
biscuit when it comes out. 1t is
easier for K c Baking Powder to
do its work in soft than in stiff
dough. Mix biscuits very little.
Do not knead. Stir up with spoon
or knife and press in shape to roll
on Toured board.
With K c Baking Powder re-
suits are sure and certain. Ask
your grocer for K G. %

Overwhelming Sentiment Of Montana
For Roosevelt viii 30 Shown.

licity of the Montana League of Pro-
gressive Republicans tonight gave ont
the following statement:
From absolutely reliable sources Il
~ learned that clear majority of
the delegates from Hill county to the
Livingston convention are publicly
avowed Roosevelt men. and will so
vote In the state convention to elect
delegates to Chicago.
The wholesale claiming of unin-
sfructei delegates by the Taft man
ayers In Montana In done for the
purpose of making NOR easy their
deliberate plans To cajoe or brbe
such delegates whenever possible into
misfepresentng their constituents,
and playing into the hands of the
machine politicians who win handle
corporation money for this corrupt
purpose.
"A telegram just received from the
Dawson County Review mt Glendvc.
says:
Solid Roosevelt delegation elected
from Dawson county This adds is
more votes to the Roosevelt strength

Phil /. Cole. we'll known attorney

M the primaries In Teton county on
Saturday the Roosevelt forces won n
clear victory for the delegates. This
will add another II votes for Roose-
Welt In the Livingston convention.
The total thus FAR reported for
Roosevelt is 155 out OF 32i. necessary
In majority OF the Livingston coun-
ters.
"As In all counties yet to hold con
ventions. with the exception of Valley.
regulnr conventions have been called,
we confidently predict that the over
whelm.ng Roosevelt sentiment of the
state will find effective expression.
and that his friends will be In con-
troll of the state convention.
In Valley county today steam
roller methods prevailed ut the meet
ing of the county central committee.
and In spite of protests from all parts
of the county the committee named
the delegates. They were not in
struggled.
The committee believes actions such
AZ this In Valley. and the brazen at
tempt to steal Hill county. should
awaken the people of Montana to the
startling truth that the corporations
have at work deliberate plan to com
pletely steal the votes of the state in
the national republican convention"
