REALISM CARRIED TO EXCESS
Lack of Drapery Would Seem to Have
Furnished Excellent Incentive for
Maternal Slipper.

A mother in Worcester, Mass, who
had orthodox views, had told her chill
dren the Garden of Eden story. The
children were greatly impressed. One
afternoon, returning from town. the
mother found the palms and ferns had
disappeared from the veranda. Going
into the darkened living-room she saw
one of the boys. minus clothing, re-
clinlng under big fern, while anoth-
er, equally clotheshss, was standing by
a palm. They enlightened her by ex-
planning that they were playing Adam
and Eve in the garden.
At that minute her youngest boy,
not three, came into the room as ma
ture had first given him to the world,
except that he wore silk hat on his
head and carried cane
And pray who are you?" asked the
mother.
The little one looked up at her and
smiled as he said: Il am the Lord

STATE HAS "SP0TLEsS TOWN.
Libby Woman's Club Gets Results
When Other Agencies Had
Failed.

Libby.-The Woman's club of Libby
has accomplished results in the clean
ing up of the city that have never
been equaled here before and a prob
lem has apparently been solved which
heretofore has annually given the city
authorities trouble.
In the past the council has always
set day as limit in which the clean
ing must be done, and after that date,
upon complaint being made, the city
did the cleaning and charged the ex-
pense to the property owner in his
taxes. The trouble with the system
was that complaints were seldom
made, although many were negligent
about doing the work.
The Woman's club offered to make
complaints and to see that every case
that needed attention was reported.
Some thought such course would re-
suit in making the club very unpop-
allar, but this is not the case; in fact,
very few complaints have had to be
made.

MONTANA WILL HAVE EXHIBIT
Counties and individuals will Raise
Fund Denied by Recent
Legislature.

Libby.-The commissioners of Lin
coin county have appropriated 5000 to
be used in having Montana represent
ed at the Panama exposition at San
Francisco in 1915. The money will
be turned over to the commission ap
pointed by Governor Stewart.
The legislature adjourned last Win
ter without making any appropriation
for this exhibit and the governor called
for an expression of the people as to
whether or not one should be made and
asking opinions as to the manner Of
financing it. The sentiment seemed to
be unanimously in favor of making an
a comission to raise funds.
