FEET USED TO BE LARGER.
A Modern No. Shoe Would Have
Fitted an Ancient Greek Belle.

EhS0o Au NHCi0rIk ST0GH ooIi0s
Artists assure US that no Greek
sculptor would have ever dreamed of
putting a nine inch foot en- a FIVE and
one-half foot woman. The types for
the classic marble figures were taken
from the most perfect forms Of living
persons. Unquestionably the human
foot, as represented by the ancient
sculptors, was larger than the modern
one; and, in fact, the primitive foot of
ord, either Of statuary or otherwise,
was considerably larger than the re-
stricted foot of later times.
The masculine foot, forming an ap-
proximate average of four different
countries, was about twelve inches
long. This would require ut least a
No. 10 shoe to cover it comfortably.
The average masculine foot today is
easily fitted with a No. S1a shoe and is
therefore not above ten and seven-six-
teenths inches. Now, by the old sculp-
tural rule of proportion, a man five
feet nine inches in height should have
a foot eleven and one-half inches long,
or one-sixth his height. 1t was of no
great consequence what size sandal he
wore. but he would have required a
modern shoe of at least a No. 1O1a for
a minimum At or a No. IL for real
comfort.
For women, allowing for the differ
ence In the relative size of the sexes,
which was about the same then as
now. a woman of five feet three inches
in height would have had a foot ten
inches long, requiring modern shoe Of
the size No as the most comfortable,
or No. 51a as the limit Of comfort

SALLY'S MISTAKE.
II Cost Her a Rich Husband and Gave
London Guys Hospital.


That requests to individuals and to
public benevolences are frequently the
result of mere whim or of caprice
has no better Illustration perhaps than
the case Of Thomas Guy, who built
and endowed the great Guys hospital
Of London at a cost of f23S.292 nearly
200 years ago.
Guy had a maid servant of strictly
frugal habits, who made his wishes
her careful study. He resolved to
make her his wife The necessary
ding, and among others many little re
pairs were ordered by Mr.. Guy in und
about his house. The latter included
the laying of new pavement oppo-
site the street door.
= 1t so happened that Sally, the bride
elect, observed piece of pavement be
yond her masters house that required
mending. and of her own accord she
gave orders to the workmen to do this.
This was done in the absence Of Mr.,
Guy, who on seeing more work done
than he had ordered was Informed that
the additional work had been done by
the mistress orders. Thereupon Guy
told Sally she had forgotten her posi-
ton and added: IF YOU take upon
yourself to order matters contrary to
my instructions before we are married
what will you not do after? | re-
nounce my matrimonial intentions to-
ward you"
So Sally lost rich and grouchy hus-
band and London gained a noble insti-
tuition for the poor.

The Turquoise.

There are some varieties of turquoise
that retain their color perpetually
rock, while those which turn green are
ascribed to the new rock. Siberia
yields mammoth teeth. which after re
ceiving color from iron phosphate are
known in the market as fossil tur
quoise. 1t is detected by its odor when
gently heated. If moistened with an
acid it will effervesce. The fossil tur
quoise. so called, is not a mineral like
ed teeth of fossil animals. Neverthe
less it retains it's color better than q
great deal of the real stone does.-St
Louis Republic.

EIGHTEENTH WANTS
TO COME BACK
SOLDIER ON MEXICAN BORDER
SAYS MlSSOULA Is THE PLACE
TO BE STATIONED.

Fort Missou1a, March a.-(Special.)
Following is a letter from the Next
can border, written by one of the SOL
diers Of the Eighteenth infantry,
formerly stationed at Fort Missoula:.
I'VE arrived at Texas City. Texas,
at s a. m. Monday. March 8, after a
long and tiresome trip, n started to
unload as soon as we got off the
train, but as the railroad is about
three miles from our camp we will not
have our camp in good condition for
a day or two.
"When We woke up this morning we
found our tents covered with dew and
it was quite a novelty to us as we
have been in a dry country for two
years.
our camp is located on the shores
of the Gulf of Mexico and some OF
the boys in the different regiments
went out and dug several oysters, AS
yet we have not had a chance, but we
surely expect to indulge as soon as
we get our camp in good shape.
1T is quite warm down here and we
have a number of friendly mosque
toes to keep us company through t1e
night.
There was only one man who took
sick on the train and he had a slight
touch Of the 'mulnps.
We were only in Missoula eight
but, believe me, we are all more
than anxious to get back. Most Of US
liked our new station at Fort Mis-
soula, and we certainly appreciated
the 'send-oft' which the Missoula ok
gave us. There is a rumor down here
that if we don't cross the line for
in Mexico within so days we
will return to our respective stations.
And we all hope that it is true.

STATE FAIR PLANS
DISCUSSED
SECRETARY BRElTENSTElN AN.
NOUNCES THE DATES AND
HAS SOME COMMENTS.

September % to 81, inclusive, are the
dates of the big Montana State fair
this year. So announced A. J. Breiten-
stein, secretary of that institution yes
terday, while in MissOula. These
dates were decided upon at a di-
rectors' meeting at Helena last week
and only after going over weather
charts for a period of 30 years which
indicated that this week in September
was much brighter and warmer than
the week before or the week after, and,
in addition. hat there was less pre-
cipitation. If the gods that be- prove
true, sunshine and big crowds will
make the 1913 events the biggest and
best In history.
THE recent legislature appropriated
TO the state fair in the same proportion
as to other state institutions. Besides
the regular maintainence fund. add
tiOnal moneys were passed upon which
gives the state fair Is acres more of
ground besides a s25,000 horticultural
building, providing, of course. that the
state board of examiners find that they
will have enough money to go around
hit'i Wv recent ibilifl u app 'Ii 10
tions are tOtaled up"
Mr., BreitcnStein announced hat an
advance planters bulletin had been
prepared and mailed to practically al
the farmers in the state announcing the
larger portion Of the agricultural pre-
mum This Is done as al induCement
for all the farmers to prepare early
for planting and plan on individual or
county displays this coming September
W. arc going to continue our boys
and girls industrial contests the same
as last year, remarked Secretary
B~reitonStein. "That is, the boy be-
tween II and Is years old growing the
best dozen potatoes or the girl put
ting up the best jar of fruit from each
county will be the guest of the fair
officials during the period of the state
fair. Last year NiSsOula county only
had one entry in this class, while Vel
loWstone county had 1S9 entries, and

THE WEATHER

The first Sunday of spring was
Missoula's yesterday. From early
morning until late in the evening the
weather was so soft and mild that to
be outside was a pleasure. 1t brought
out the pedestrians in countless mum
bers and for several hours during the
afternoon Higgins avenue held an
army of people, resembling nothing
less than a circus-day croWd. Within
the center of the city the new federal
building was the center of attraction
and hundreds visited this building yes
terday for the first time. Others
ventured further from the cement
walks and scores spent a happy hour
climbing the water works hill and
there hasking in the warm sunshine.
The autoists were out, too, but found
the roads outside the city rather
rouefh and muddy. 1t will REQUIRE
another week of good weather to put
the highways in proper form for the
automobile.
The following figures came from the
local weather observer last evening:

This is the letter Coroner c. II
Marsh found on the dresser of Day
ton Dorrica's room in the Western
hotel at S o'clock last evening after
the man had been discovered lying in
a pool of blood on the floor with a
bullet hole in his head, a 40 caliber
Colts revolver lying at his feet show
ing that the deed had been self COM
mitted. Suicide after q deliberate de-
cisiOn was shown to be the case as
the man left another letter concern
ing some family matters. which the
coroner did not give out for publica-
ton, the contents of which had no
bearing upon the case except for the
statement, Il am tired OF living and
now that I have decided TO end it all"
showing plainly that the mans mind
was made up, although he gave no
reason for committing the deed other
than his being tired of living
A Darby Man.
Dayton Dorrica is from Darby,
where he is we'll known and where his
brothers live, They have been noti-
fled and will be here today. The dead
man had been to Spokane recently. He
came to MissOu1a Saturday night and
registered at the hotel and stayed in
his room that night. Yesterday he
was about the hotel and went out for
a walk. Returning about 8 o'clock he
asked for the key to his room and
toprietor Johnson Of the hotel stated
that the man seemed in a hurry at the
time. At 6 O'Clock Mr., Johnson went
mp tairs to rouse the night porter
ana in passing Dorrica's room found
the door aiar and the man lying on
his back. dead. He called the coroner
whose Investigations resulted in the
facts of the case shown as above.
So far as could be learned no one
heard the shot. The revolver was
perfectly new as was also the box Of
cartridges. Blu one of these had been
removed from the box and placed in
he chamber of the gun. From the
position of things in the room Dorrica
had stood before his mirror when he
held the gun to his right temple and
fired,
Coroner Marsh learned last night
h a j. c. Pickrel of Darby, to whom
the letter quoted above was addressed,
had gone to Chicago and was unable
to get any information concerning the
relations that existed between h
two men. One brother, George Dorrica,
was located on a ranch near Darby
and a messenger was sent to notify
him of the tragedy.
Dorrica was a nan about 81 years
of age. Was Well dressed and ap-
peared rather prosperous. Foundation
for any theory as to the cause of his
decision to end his life was lacking
last night.
