 Judge Henney has a reputation that extends beyond the state and is one of the ablest of the representative re- publicans of Connecticut. He made an admirable mayor of Hartford, is president of the chamber of commerce, stands among the leading lawyers of the Connecticut bar, and is one of our foremost platform orators.

The kevs Of Europe.

In the Balkans territory, where ma
ture has built her fortresses, east has
met west, the invaded has met the in
vader. In these great defiles are the
natural roads between Asia and cen
trail and western Europe, long since
trodden hard by Roman and bar
barian, crusader and infidel, Hapsburg
and Ottoman. The Balkans control
the whole lower half of the rich Dan
ube valley, whose economic value Is
as patent today as 1t was to the nu-
merous invaders of Europe who re-
cruited their strength in its fair field.
The Balkans also control the western
coast of the Black sea and some of it's
finest natural harbors. Along this
coast runs the road from Russia to
Constantinople; down through the
Danube valley. across the mountains
and through Adrianople, runs the
great highway from the Rhine and
Danube valleys to Constantinople and
the east around to the west, through
Albania and Dalmatia, is the perfect
ly practical road, used long ago by
the Visigoths, connecting Constants
nople with Trieste, Venice and the
valley of the Pc. The Balkans, in
fact, control Constantinople, the only
gateway between Europe and Asia

and military roads thousands of years

HEAVY DEBT TO WOMEN.

Agriculture Owes Its Present Position
to Their Early Work.
Harper's Magazine: Agriculture to-
day depends chiefly upon the work OF
the primeval woman. We are indebt-
ed to the nomad's wife for the great
est of all economic service. She
tanned the young of the more tamable
animals, gave them to her savage
husband, and made of him the more
civil herdsman who for ages follow
ing his flocks after the manner OF
Jacob and Lott and Job. This fertile
wife of the nomad became the wife OF
farmers, and she made farmer OF
her son by placing in his hands the
precious seed of the grains, the pres
ent basis of agriculture, the bread of
man, and the concentrated food of all
our domestic animals.
Where did this ancient mother get
these precious seeds? In many cases
we do not know, and cannot even
guess. She found some plant with
one or two rich seeds, planted them,
and then generation after generation
her descendants picked over their lit
tie grain patches, selecting seeds to
be previously preserved from the har-
est festival OF the next spring-plantlng
festival, which we now call Easter.

CORDIALLY for receiver of the Great
Falls land office, both being residents
of that city. Sutherlin and Corbally's
names will be sent to the senate to-
morrow and will be promptly con-
firmed, as the interior department is
anxious to have the Great Falls office
reopened.
This afternoon the Montana delega-
ton had a meeting in the office of
Senator Walsh to consider patronage
questions generally. 1t was prac-
and allow Congressman Evans and
masters, while the two senators will
jointly control the remainder of the
Montana patronage, with the mutual
understanding that where any mem
ber OF the delegation is especially in
terested in some particular office, his
wishes will be given precedence. If
Montana is not districted, Representa-
tive Evans will control appointments
in western Montana and Representa-
tive Stout in the east half of the state.
Tomorrow morning the entire Mon
tana delegation will call on Secretary
of State Bryan and submit to him with
their Endorsement the names of ex-
Representative Charles S. Hartman,
Granville Stuart, city librarian of
Butte, and Carl Browne, of Huntley,
for appointment in the diplomatic or
consular service.
This afternoon the Montana delega-
tion called on President Wilson to pay
their respects. Their call was purely
social and neither patronage nor other
business was discussed. The presi
dent was warm in his greetings and
was glad to find the western state
with a solid democratic delegation
which will cooperate with him.
A large part of this morning Sena
tors Myers and Walsh and Representa-
tives Stout and Evans were in confer
ence with Director Newell and Super

vising Engineer Savage of the recla-
nation service, gathering data to sus-
tain items in the Indian appropriation
bill for continuing work on irrigation
projects on Montana Indian reserva-
tions. 1t is the general understanding
that the Indian bill introduced at the
special session will be practically
identical with the Indian bill which
failed on March 4, and that the same
appropriations will be made for Mon
tana projects as were carried by the
conference report last week. Repre-
sentative Evans is hopeful that the
appropriation for the Flathead Indian
reservation can be increased to $780,
900, and reclamation officials agreed
with him that this amount would
greatly expedite work and relieve
those depending on this project for
water.

LATEST FASHION NOTES.

Blue fox stands among the first of
the fashionable furs, then tailless er-
mine, sable and sealskin.
Some evening gowns are trimmed
with fringe of chenille from twelve
to eighteen inches deep.
Skirts continue rather scant and
clinging, but there are many nova
tions in line and trimming.
Long lace collars in mantle effects
are most effective when worn on plain
velvet evening gowns.
Low shoes of satin, moire and vel
vet strapped with jewel buttons or
buckles are extremely popular
Little girls dresses are cut on simple
kimono lines, variety being gained by
different trimmings.
Pleated bands of velvet in several
tones or fantasies of plumage are a
favorite trimming for children's hats.
Huge bows of sapphire and blue vel
vet make striking trimming for
luxurious scarf and muff of ermine
There is fashion of combining
civet cat and seal and leopard and
seal. The latter is strikingly effec-
tive.
Some of the long Russian blouse
tunics over plain velvet are OF fine
ribbed gauze and velvet printed in
bright shades.
The fashionable long, tight-fitting
sleee is very becoming when finished
with frill of plated tulle falling over
the shoulder.
AS for the Innings of the fur coat,
they range from plain satin to every
possible extravaganza in gold and
chiffon brOcades.
There is demand for the dark
tailored suit, simply finished with a
rather narrow shawl and narrow cuffs
of skunk fur.
Satin velvet and mOusseline de sole
are used for girdles on frocks of crepe
de chine, satin charmeuse and mousse
line de sole.
Many new evening gowns show tu-
MICS of colored tulle; bright blue over
foundation of yellow and sulphur
color is very attractive.

whence the end spreads out into a

Trains are narrow; many appear
separate and are formed simply by a
straight, narrow width of the silk bro
| cade or velvet composing the gown.
Pendants are the most fashionable
of ornaments; they are in every
imaginable stone. The most excellent
are the semi-precious stones either in
gold or silver.
Some of the most charming cos.
tunes are fashioned by combining
dark blue with white or silver, and
adding a final touch of pipings OF
cerise, orange or canary.
The tailored suit is occupying con
siderable attention, as it is the most
practical for morning wear. Soft ra
tines, mapped worsteds and piece-dyed
zibelnes are materials most used.
The most satisfactory guimpe IL
made of plain net and finished with
an elastic around the bottom. This
holds the guimpe in place. and makes
it set smoothly around the neck ant
shoulders.

Fur trimming should be most care

That is just what Fritz Frantzius,

the broker.

lady love.

Perhaps she said, taking two
dance steps away from him.
That night at the Hotel Plaza the
uncertainty was continued.
The banker and broker was quite
positive that the ceremony was i'm
pending. The lady wasn't so sura.
In the midst Of their discussion Il

marry them.

And so they were united.
