Which Would Boy Naturally
Prefer to Lose?

Dull and gray was the afternoon.
Slowly, with reluctant footsteps, Wal
ter William made his way toward the
Sunday school. II the truth be told in
one fell swoop, he was not lover OF
Sunday school. and were it not for pa
rental compulsion, would easily have
found some other way of congenially
passing the time.
As so often happens when one is
down In the dumps. another bitter
blow was in store for Walter William.
He had two beautiful new pennies, one
for the Sunday school, and it's brother
for the purpose Of buying sweets, or
some similar delicacy.
Unhappily he lost one of the bright
new coins, and In due time reported
the event at the maternal headquar-

But, Walter which of the two pen

Back came the reply like rife bull
let:

Thanks to the interest taken by Su-

OF two rangers, N. H. Pearl and w. J.
Eavanaugh, Butte can boast two of
these animals.
The two rangers tell an interesting
story of the capture, for it was not
done in a day. For three days and
three nights, without sleep and with
rests that were but sporadic, Pearl
and Cavanaugh trailed their quarry.
This was the end of a three weeks
chase. At last they caught these wild

little more than a week old, yet still

rural schools of the state will be

it's general condition. The lighting

The equipment of the school build
ing, including desks, blackboards, fur.
niture, general school paraphernalia,
library, pictures, water supply, etc.,
will be taken into consideration. The
size and condition of the Fairgrounds,
trees, provision for games, will next
count in rating. Whether or not the
school district is represented in the
various fairs, in industrial contests
and exhibits, debating societies, and
general community activities will be
taken into consideration by the in
spector.
