new KIND OF CHICKS
ON VIEW
STEvENSVILLE RESIDENTS FALL
NICELY FOR AN APRIL
FOOLS JOKE.

s~tevensville, April 1.-(Special.)--
Amos Buck was busy all morning
with the work of invoicing the stock
of hardware that is being taken over
by himself and his son, Charles Amos,
but along toward noon Amos felt the
need of a refreshing cigar, and
stepped over to Dagenais & Wilson's
drug store to make his purchase and
rest a moment. Mr.. Wilson told
Amos to step in the back room and
see the new chicks that had just been
Matched. Amos found the box near the
stove, with the cover fitted snug so to
exclude the chilly air, with three of
the queeriest specimens of Bitter
Root chicks that he even saw. In fact,
he said, Il thought when l first looked
at them that they were young turtles,
but now, as l observe them closer,
they are the kind of chickens we
Matched one winter when we were en-
gagged in the battle of Big Hole"
Someone whispered April Fool" and
Amos laughed and said, ooh, yes, l
forgot; | have been so busy owe in
the hardware store" and he went out
and told about a score of people to go
owe to the drug store and see the
new chicks. Soon DR.. j. f. S. Mar
shall came in to inquire about the
poultry, and Mr.. Wilson very accom-
modatingly showed them to him. The
doctor was more familiar with the
drug store specimens, and took the
joke good naturally. However, he
went out and looked up George Kahn,
whom he old to go and see the little
single-comDs. george mad the jour
ney all right, but dld not like the
looks of the brooder, so refused to in
vestigate further. Mr.. Kahn left for
home via the back door.
BY this time the crowd that Amos
had toId began to come in, and from
that time on until moor the drug store
presented u busy place. John Nc
Laughlin fell for the message he re-
ceived, telling him to go to the bank,

thing important" and hurried over. 1t
