LATEST ROYAL COMEDY.
II Was Fun for the Spectators and
Some Others Profited by II.

Chicago Evening Post: How these
monarchs love each other, both as
monarchs and cousins!
William of Germany invites George
of England to attend the wedding OF
his daughter Luise. On receiving the
invitation George looks over his stock
of German uniforms (soldiers' and
sailorsD and sets forth on the royal
yacht. Near shore he Is met by a
1otilla of torpedo boats, and once on
shore, made up as German admiral,
he meets William, who has taken on
the appearance of colonel of the
Coldstream guards. They embrace
and kiss each other on the cheek.
Impelled by the time schedule, they
disengage themselves to dress for din
ner, George electing to look like a
Prussian hussar and William to coun-
terfeit the royal fusileer.
After breakfast the next day there
is to be military review, and George
recalls that he is the colonel of
Braunschweig regiment, and has the
proof with him. William is similarly
bestirred with the thought that he
holds a commission with the lancers,
and that the tailors have furnished
all that is necessary for conviction.
This takes them up to luncheon
time, when George is down nearly to
his last suit-a dragon Disguise Will
liam comes right back with the prop
er thing for grenadiers. If the festivi-
ties were to last much longer they
would be reduced to presenting each
other with new appointments and the
outfits that 60 with them.
But William has something else to
offer. Three British spies are in Ger
man prisons, and he pardons them.
Gracious act, seeing that spying is
discreditable, and is inspired only by
an autocratic government However,
the Englishmen haven't learned much
and Willlam thinks of his ocean-going
Zeppelins complacently.

WE'D AT THE PRESBY.
TERRAIN CHURCH..

Miss Florence E. Reynolds, for sew
eral years member of the high
school corps of teachers, who severed
her connection with that institution
last year, and Curtis c. Charter for
merly in charge of the department Of
manual training at the high school,
were married yesterday afternoon at
the pastors study in the Presbyterian
church, Rev. E. w. Wright perform
ing the ceremony in the presense of
number of intimate friends of the
contracting parties. The bride was
attended by Miss Edna Butler and
Prof. Elliott c. Lincoln acted as best
man. During the ceremony Mrs.
Miller played Mendelssohn's Wedding
March softly. Hearty congratulations
were showered upon Mr.. and Mrs.
Charter, who left in the afternoon for
their homestead in the Big Dry Sec
ton in Dawson county, where Mr..
CHARTER went last winter to get things
in shape for putting in a crop.
Both the bride and groom have
many warm friends in Lewistown and
their best wishes follow them to their
ranch home.

cockroach, mice and other vermin.
Two or three domesticated tOads. it
is said, will keep any premises clear
of these and are much more desir-
able as pets than are cats, since they
do not trespass upon the rights of
man, as does that feline. The toad
is possessed of a timid and retiring
disposition, loving dark corners and
shady places, but under kind treat
ment becoming quite tame
Many instances might be cited of
pet toads remaining several years in
la family and doing most valuable
service with no other compensation
than that of immunity from persecu-
ton. All that is necessary to secure
the cooperation of the toad, indoors
or out. is to provide it with cool and
safe retreats by day and convenient
access to water. It will then go forth
to the performance Of its nocturnal
duty without money and without
price,"
In Europe toads are carried to the
cities to market and are purchased
by the horticulturists, who by their
aid, are enabled to keep in check the
multiplication of the insects that
prey upon their fruits, flowers, etc.

JOHN LAUX BUILDS
ROAD AT Low COST
FORMER LEWlSTOWN MANS
WORK IN FLATHEAD
COUNTY.

Secretary Bernard of the Montana
Good Roads congress is sending out
several thousand programs this week
of the Montana Good Roads congress,
Kalispell, July 1916. This program
| is folder with a beautiful road scene
of the Glacier National Park road out
of Kalispell This road view appears
on the front page of the folder and
| is representative of many of the
scenic roads in the Flathead. Seven
out Thursday and by Saturday the
whole state will be covered.
Ka'ispell people are jubilant over
the proposition of Messrs. Kelly and
Evans entertaining the delegates to
the Good Roads congress at their
beautiful summer homes on Swan
lake. This is one of F'latheads choice
scenic spots and when the delegates
to the big convention reach Swan lake
they will find the LOWEST lake and sur
roundings in the scenic Flathead.
They will travel over some modern
wagon road that for artistic beauty
and cheap cost of construction is not
equaled in the United States. When
this road was projected by the county
commissioners they found five miles
lying through heavy lodge poles, pine
larch and fir. Different road men es-
timated the cost at $1,000 to $1,000
per mile, but John Laux, formerly Of
Lewistown, where he served as an
alderman, one of the greatest noun
tain road builders in the country, said
it could be built for about $500. The
question of cost confronting the
county commissioners was a serious
one. Mr.. G. f. Kelley called Joe Edge,
chairman of the board, up and told
him he understood the county was
short Of road funds, and as the road
was in the vicinity of their property,
that he, Mr.. Edge, could draw on Mr..
Kelley and Evans for $1,000. This
settled the Swan lake road PROPOSE
ton. John LauX was put in charge
OF construction and he built the road
forty feet wide, cleared off rocks and
stumps, graded twenty-five feet wide
from gutter to gutter, with a twelve
inch crown, and he did it for $500 per
mile, and it is monument to modern
road building today.
Before reaching this beautiful
stretch of road the delegates will pass
over five miles of scenic road lying
at a high elevation above the turbu-
lent Big Fork river. the most fasci-
mating mountain stream in the scenic
Flathead. On one side rocky noun
tain craggs and cliffs and on the other
the dashing, foaming torrents of
mountain stream below, and all
about wealth of magnificent forest
reaching to the crests of undulatine
hills and towering mountains.

GOVERNORS CANNOT APPROVE
When a Seat in the United States
Senate Becomes Vacanf


Richmond Times-Dispatch: One of
the most significant changes wrought
by the adoption of the amendment
to the federal constitution providing
for the election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people is
that it deprives the governors of
states of the power to appoint sena-
tors in case of vacancies when the
legislature is not in session. Unless
the legislature expressly empowers
the governor to appoint, he can do
nothing in such a contingency. The
Columbia State, in making this very
interesting point, cites the following
clause Of the amendment:
When vacancies happen in the rep.
resentation of any state in the senate
the executive authority of such state
shall issue writs of election to fill
such vacancies, provided that the leg.
islature of any state may empower the
executive thereof to make temporary
appointments until the people fill the
vacancies bp election as the legisla-
ture may direct.
Under the constitution, before II
was amended, the governor had the
power to I'LL vacancy In the senate
by appointment until the legislature
met. Hereafter It is made mandatory
upon the governor to order popular

known as bath. It is this mans Gus

LEW|STOWN BREAKS
EVEN WITH SHERIDAN
LOCALS PLAYING AT BUFFALO
TODAY-TWO VICTORIES
HERE.

After defeating the Buffalo, Wyo.,
team here twice last week, the Lewis
town Giants were trimmed at Sheri-
dan last Saturday to the tune OF ten
to one, Harmon pitching for Sheridan
and Ehrig and Duvall for Lewistown.
Sunday, however, the locals evened
things up by defeating Sheridan,
eight to six, Giffin being on the mound
for Lewistown, while the mighty Ver-
heyen pitched for Sheridan.
Yesterday Lewistown played at
Buffalo, the latter winning by score
of IA to 5.
The two games with Buffalo here
were interesting and the story of the
contests is told by the scores, as fol-

legislative act to make temporary ap-
pOintments.
For instance, If one of the Virginia
senators were to resign at this time,
Governor Mann would have to order
an election unless he convened the
general assembly in special session so
that it could pass an act enabling him
to appoint. Without such legislation
the governor can in no case appoint.

THE NEW NICKEL.
A Striking Example Of What a Coin
Should Not Be.


Should Not Be.
New York Times: The new nickel"
Is striking example of what a coin
intended for wide circulation as small
change should not be. It bears on
one side the too deeply stamped coun-
terfeit presentment of bison, on the
other the head of an uncommonly un-
prepossessing Indian, and as art
neither side is remarkable. The over
crowding of the small circles by large
designs Is grave defect. The letter
ing is SO small that it can only be de-
ciphered by strong eyes in a bright
light. The aim Of the designer seems
to have been to make an odd-looking
thing, as unlike other coins as pos
sible. It may be true that some of
the first Of these coins issued from
the subtreasury yesterday were sold
