That's right, George, throw the paper

That was the kind of crowd that your
little chum here was herding with last
eve, George, and it was an event in my
sweet young life, I felt just like a
belle of the ball with full program.
''I didn't dream of no such honor as
going to that party, George. 1t was all
on account of Wilfred, and the way it
turned out he was more to blame than
he was to be praised. He got letter
the other day from literary club,
composed of some of New York Is best
clubbers of literature. 1t seems that
the poor boy, in moment of despera-

magazine and the magazine printed it.
Wilfred wrote it, so it didn't mean
nothing, he told me at the time, though
goodness knows, George, none Of his
poems was ever mean enough to mean
much. As soon as the poem came out
in the magazine he got letter to at

HIS DIPLOMA.
BY Minna Irving.

By Minna Irving.
He can row as if from Venice,
He's a crackerjaek at tennis.
He's a wizard on the bunkers
And a wonder with a cue.
In a manner free and easy
He can navigate the breezy
In his monoplane expensive
That he calls the Parley-Voo.
He can take a hand at poker,
And at bridge he is no joker,
He's a marvel on the banjo
And the tinkling mandolin;
And he keeps a polo pony,
For he thinks the game is tony
And the football team he captains
Is the one that's sure to win.
He belongs to half dozen
Clubs exclusive, and his cousin
Is an English duke whose photo
He is careful to display.
In the place of books of knowledge
In his coy room at college
There IS cellarotto where bottles
OF the "fizzn are slowed away.
OF himself he is the proudest
When his raimeut is the loudest,
And he keeps a super.ugly
Brindle bulldog for a pet;
But the only paper, later,
lie will take from Alma Mater
win he that he always uses
When he rolls cigarette.

Some Uses for Tape.

When you fit up your darning basket,
just tuck in a good supply of tape of
different qualities and of different
widths, linen and cotton, white and col
ored. II your white gloves wear at the
finger tips, before washing or sending
them to be cleaned, turn on the wrong
side and haste on little piece of thin
tape, turn right side out and darn the
worn place neatly. You will be reward
ed for your trouble. Do the same under
the fasteners at the wrists. Stay the
backs of buttonholes or buttons on shirt
fronts and shirt bands, neck, and wrists.
Sew on a narrow piece of tape when
stitching up bias seam and it will keep
the goods from stretching. A loop on
the inside edge of the crown of child's
school hat to hang it keeps it off the
dusty floor.
Loops of tape for shirt waists and
skirts, reminding necks of mems under
wear, loops for dish towels or holders
about the kitchen range and many other
uses whore tape can be used with meat
ness and dispatch" The edges being
finished except the ends, there are no
bungling or bullying seams.

BIG MINE OUTPUT.
Montana Increases Value of Metal Pro-
duction in 1911 by Nearly SIS 100000.


Great strides were made by the stat,
OF Montana in 1912 in the production
of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, ac
cording to V. c. Heikes, Of the United
States geological survey, the value OF
the output being placed at S644,754,6l3
against S46955,2s7 in 1911, an increase
Sl7 1926, due to the greater produc
tion and higher value of copper. Most
of this increase-sl7 1913, 69s-m may be
credited to the production of Silver Bow
county, which includes the Butte dis
trict The combined production of the
other counties in Montana was only S62S
greater in 1912 than in 1911. The value
Of the silver, copper, and lead production
combined was $ls,524.43T more than in
1911. while the value of the gold was
S725,lll less than in 1911.
The production Of gold in 1912 was
valued at s3625 235, against S3,7l0I5l
in 1911 Over So per cent. of the gold
or 9s,779.72 ounces, was derived from
siliceous ores 39.0l0.52 ounces. or 22.2
per cent, from placers; and 34,2O0.s3
ounces, or 1915 per cent, from copper
ores The placer gold produced in 1912
amounted to Ss06.4l9. of which S7l0.3S7
was obtained by dredging The gold
won from placers in 1912 was Sl2l ,6ls
more than in 1911. and that taken from
the lode mines was S206,954 less. The
gold recovered from ore treated at gold
and silver mills amounted to 81 ,039 40,
that from concentrates amounted to
S666,954, and that from crude ores
shipped to smelters, Sl,l09255.

The production of silver in Montana
in 1912 was 1871 ,83s ounces, valued
at 81 500 $50, against ll,9S5l96 ounces
in 1911. Nevada probably led in silver
output in 1912, followed by Utah and
then by Montana. OF Montana's output
of silver, l0,655,055 ounces. or 1871 per
cent, came from copper ores and l,3lS,-
sos ounces, or about 10 per cent, from
siliceous ores. Bullion recovered at gold
and silver mills produced only 6S,443
ounces, while concentrates produced
3 .597 ,953 ounces, and crude ore shipped
to smelters contained 4,039,623 ounces
Silver Bow county produced 1882, 100
