An April Party,

My name is April; and l
Often laugh, as often cry;
And ! cannot tell what makes me;
Only Is the fit o'ertakes me!
/ must dimple, smile and frown,
Laughing though the tears roll down.
But tits nature, sir, not art;
And I'm happy at my heart.
We are all happy AT our hearts"
these days, and none more so than
the little mother who planned this
party for the children Of the neigh
borhood, her own boy and girl being
the host and hostess. The usual in
vitations were sent out, save that in
one corner were the words "Soap-Bub-
bic Party" The decorations were UNI
brellas suspended from the ceiling.
Under each was a small table holding
two pipes ornamented with bows of
rainbow colors, a bowl and a bottle
containing s%oap-bubble water. This
mixture was soapsuds with the addi-
ton of a tablespoon of glycerin in
every pint of water, which gives luster
and stability to the fairy bubbles.
Prizes were offered for the largest
bubble, for the n remaining longest
In the air, for the one with the most
vivid coloring and for the one soaring
the highest.
A pretty game was arranged by
stretching a board ribbon across the
room like a tennis net, providing fans
to blow the bubbles. The contest was
to see which side could blow the great
est number of bubbles and get them
over the ribbon. Two persons played
at a time, or four, as in tennis.
The table was gay with a circle of
candles in the seven prismatic colors
around a large crescent-shaped cake.
The flowers were ~hyacinths in delicate
pink, lavender, white, yellow and pur-
pie. One stalk in a tiny pot at the
plates made a beautiful table.

YOUTH MURDERS HIS AUNT
SIXTEEN YEAR OLD LAD SHOOTS
RELATIVE.
olmsted County Boy Says He Plotted
Deaths of Two More in
Family.

Rochester. Mimi, April 2. = Mrs.
GEORGE Hetzel, a widow, 45 a of
age, living at Douglas, nine miles from
Rochester, was shot twice in the
breast by Henry Schmidt, her nephew,
16 years old, and was dead when the
alarm vas given and officers arrived
at the scene.
No Reason For 1t.
Schmidt was arrested and declares
he has no reason for shooting his aunt,
but that he does not regret his act.
He will be brought acre at once and
lodged in jail. He is believed by
many to be demented and to have a
mania for shooting. His parents live
at Zumbrota, but he has been making
his home on the Hetzel farm about a
year.
Prier to killing the woman, Schmidt
took her 14-year-old SON, Leo, to the
barn, struck him over the head with
the butt of the revolver and tied him
hand and foot. Young Hetzel heard
the shots that killed his mother and
managed to free himself from his
bonds and give the alarm.
Young Schmidt was found at the
home of another son of the victim,
William Hetzel, a quarter of a mile
away. He confessed that part of
what seems to be a wholesale murder
plot was to shoot Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Hetzel.

"Fishi1g Rock" Contains Ore,

VIZ
Kalispell.-Because they had no
luck fishing. Alex Weed, George
Wells and Fred Tart are now the
owners of a quartz lode, the ore from
which assays remarkably rich values
in gold, silver and lead. For twenty
years the fishing rock" on the shore
of Flathead lake, seven miles south of
Big Fork, has been a favorite haunt
of fishermen, and seldom has the n
ler's faith in the historic spot failed
of reward. Weed and Wells, how
ever, by the most alluring devices of
the art, failed to attract the fnny den
izens of the depths beneath the ledge.
While exploring the rock by way of d.
version, they discovered a vein of
promising looking quartz from which
they broke pieces which they carried
to town, where the samples were dis
played in the Weed store window for
several days, attracting much atten-
ton, and affording no little amuse-
ment to the finders who exhibited the
valuable appearing, but supposedly
spurious ore to their credulous friends.
Fred Hart, an experienced mining
man examined the ore and suisse
quently had it assayed, with the re-
suit that the three men hastily staked
out claims upon the vein on Fishing
Rock.

Dynamite Checks Flames.

Cincinnati, O., April 2.-Dynamite,
according to meager reports received
here, has checked a fire which, in the
business section of Ironton, burned a
block bounded by Second, Third,
Lawrence and Buckeye streets. Many
women, panic-stricken, attempted to
leap into the water from upper win
dows, but were rescued. The city is
practically cut off from the outside
world, several houses have collapsed
and the food supply is limited. Word
from Portsmouth, O., says there have

Two April

Did you rel hear of a Trouble
Shower" Well, if not, try one on
the next bride-elect you wish to honor.
On the invitation notes pin down one
corner with a needle and the other op-
posite with a pin, lettering the follow
ing nursery rhyme prohecy across the
top:
Needles and pins! When a maid
marries her trouble begins!"
The idea to be carried out is this:
The hostess provides a dainty work
basket or bag, as she may prefer,
and the guests supply the contents to
fit it out completely. If the favorite
color of the bride is known it is
a pretty compliment to carry out that
color scheme throughout. The shower
l heard about had all in yellow. The
basket was a gilded one, lined with
yellow satin, and the n~eedlebook of
yellow satin, the scissor case of pig
skin. There was a tape measure,
thimble, emery, ribbon threaders, pin
cushion, spools of thread and silk, but
tons, safety pins, common pins and
cases of needles. To make more fun,
these articles were done up separately
in white paper tied with yellow ribbon
and hidden all over the big living
room
The little bride-to-be had a time
gathering all her possessions into her
basket. The hostess knew just how
many parcels there were and they all
had to be found before eats could
be served.

A Rich Find.
A discovery of rich silver lead are
has been made in the Grass valley
district, or, as it is called, the Hell
ena district, two miles west of Fort
Harrison. The discovery was made
in an old shaft forty feet in depth
and probably sunk forty years ago.
The ore streak was eighteen inches
in width, and a shipment of the ore
has been made which returned $40 to
the ton in lead and silver. The pay
streak bids fair to hold out in length
and depth, and the owners intend to
develop it extensively. The mine for

Messers Larson and Errick, expert mill

process that will extract 80 per cent of
the gold content of pres and a like
saving of silver values. If this pro-
cess proves a success with the Raiders
burg ores, it means a p~rofit-earning
career for every mine in the district,
inasmuch as nearly every mine in
Radersburg has a tonnage of ore on
hand that will average between So
and $12, but which it has been un-
profitable to mine heretofore owing
to the long hauling distance. The
Heating company has announced that
as soon as practicable, the mill will
be enlarged to 200 or 400 tons capaci-
ty for the treatment of ores from 9th

FOUND A FORESTRY SCHOOL
ests Unite For New Department
Created by Legislature.

Mtssoula.-The University of Mon
tana, situated in the center of one Of
the largest timber belts and numbering
centers of the west, is soon to have a
real school of forestry.
In addition to it's splendid location
Tor a school of this kind, the head
quarters of field district No. l of the
forest service is located at Missoula,
and thus students in forestry will not
only have the advantage of such nat
ural conditions as are necessary for
practical work in some lines, but can
be IN direct touch with the district
organization and have ample oppor-
tunlty to investigate and study meth
DDS of organization and practical for
estry work, carried on under the di-
rection of experts and heads of the de-
partments here.
The school of forestry here has
been created by the passage of mea-
sures in the state legislature and con-
gress. The Montana legislature Great
ed the school at the university at the
session that closed a few days ago,
the measure carrying a provision for
$4,000 annually, in addition to the reg
uIar appropriation. The Dixon bill in
the United States congress-, provided
Tor setting aside 5 per cen of the an
nual income of the timber sales of the
forest service for schools of forestry
and state universities in forest service
states. This means that the Univer-
sity of Montana has a prospect Of
from $4,000 to 5 1000 more money an.
nually.
Other Available Moneys.
And there will undoubtedly be other
moneys available, because the big
lumber industries of Montana have
taken an exceptional interest in the
creation of this school of forestry.
The Montana Larch and Pine Manu-
facturers' association. at it's annual
convention in Kalispell, in 1912, passed
resolutions favoring a tax of 5 cents
an acre on the timber lands represent
ed in the association, the money, when
available, to be used towards the en-
dowment and maintenance of a chair
OF logging engineering at the Univer-
sity of Montana.
At the Pacific logging congress,
held in Spokane in September, three
prominent lumbermen of the state
were appointed as a committee to look
into the feasibility of establishing a
chair of logging engineering in the
university, and to cooperate with the
faculty in establishing that chair.
Thus, with the money available from
the sale of timber on forest reser-
yes, with a state appropriation and
with the aid from the numbering inter.
ests, a professional school of forestry
at the University of Montana seems
to be practically assured.
