Within, 1t boasted no reception room
or hall. The big living room ran the
full breadth of the house, and served
as a parlor, library and dining-room
On this the most pretentious efforts OF
the builder had been spent. On the

with similar wood; a cheap ash

or arch, the attempt had been made
to have this half conform to the re-
quirements Of a dining-room, leaving
the other to serve as library. The
low windows were set with uniform
simplicity; one on either side of the
door and one at each end. In the liv-
ing half of the room a window seat
ran from door to wall. and a combina-
ton bookshelf and desk Offset the buff
fet OF the other side. This corner Jane
had converted into a comfy" home

own making were scattered plentifully
along the window seat and piled high
at the end against the wall. A little

Bob's day In the city, his long trip

garden and James daily struggle with
domestic duties left little energy for
nocturnal pastime. An hour or two
usually found them ready for the
little room at the back, which, though
| dignified nominally as guests cham

ing purposes themselves. This room

living room. Here the builder hao
recompensed himself for such extrava

front. The room was of barren sim
plicity; severe white walls, window
closet, and door to the bathroom with
woodwork of the cheapest spruce.
The only access to the second story
was the stairway in the kitchen. There
were two rooms there. A long one
across the front OF the house, but, Oh
account of the sloping roof, much mar

BODY AS A MACHINE.


How will total abstinence most eff
fectively appeal to the boy in his
teens? asks many a mother and many
a teacher. The angle of vision most
likely to interest him in that which
emphasizes bodily efficiency. Hear
what that experienced educator, Hon.
Edward Hyatt, superintendent of pub
lie instruction for the state OF Cali
fornia, has to say about It:
Many a boy. IL he could look upon
his body as machine. could stand
outside himself as II we're aud look
at himself with the same eyes with
which he regards his bicycle, would
be made sensible OF the danger use
lessness and utter folly Of triiiing
with a habit that has over-thrown mill
lions of strong ones who thought u
Joke until II was too late to see that
death hid behind the mask
This is an age OF mechanical in
vention. II is an age OF comprehen-
sion, an intelligent understanding OF
mechanism, even by the very young.
The boys OF our year are thinking In
constructive terms, of the relation OF
parts to other parts, OF loss by fric-
ton, chemical waste, OF chemical
agents that preserve a machine and
other chemical agents that ruin II.
1t is ours to shift this idea until the
boy applies It to his own God.given
body-than which there is no more
perfect machine In all the world"

COMMITS SUICIDE.

Last Thursday morning the body OF
J. j. Brown, who had for some time
been running an express wagon, was
found in the barn used by him near
the corner of Main street and First
avenue. Lying near him was a bot
tie containing little carbolic acid and
mug into which he had poured the
poison to drink it was found on the
floor. Coroner George Creel at once
took charge of the body and an in
quest was held Friday, which showed
the case to be one of suicide and a
verdict to that effect was returned.
Brown was about town Wednesday
night and was drinking rather freely.
He was 65 years of age and came in
here with the Great Northern graders
some eight years ago. He had worked
on the Crowley ranch and had also
been employed by Roy Hopkins. The
decedent was a widower and his only
known relative, a son in New York.

P|RR|E VICTIM OF
A FATAL ACCIDENT
THROWN FROM WAGON DURING
RUNAWAY-FUNERAL HELD
At BILLINGS.

The many friends of George Pirrie
were shocked Saturday morning by a
report from Hedgesville to the effect
that he had been killed in a runaway
accident at his ranch home on Friday
r. Won TObel, who had looked after
the decedent's legal business for many
years, left for Hedges Sunday morn
ing.
1t appears that Mr.. Pirrie was start
ing from his home in wagon to look
after some sneep that had scattered.
Immediately the team ran away, Mr..
Pirrie being thrown out, alighting on
his head in such a way as to fracture
the neck. The accident occurred in
sight of the home and Mrs. Pirrie was
almost instantly at his side. He was
just conscious and after saying, II will
die before morning." lapsed into un-
consciousness and died soon after
wards. The accident occurred at p.
m. and Mr.. Pirrie died three hours
later.
Mr.. Pirrie was 81 years OF age and
a native of Scotland. He established
his home on the ranch where the ac-
cident occurred over thirty years ago,
engaging in ranching and wool grow
ing.
The funeral was held from the Bap-
tist church at Billings yesterday, the
pastor of Mr.. Pirrie's church at
Hedgesville conducting the service.
The pallbearers, all old friends of the
decedent, were Henry Firth. d. w.
Grieves, w. J. Scott, J. d. Matheson,
DR.. Morrison and Donald Mackenzie.
Services were also held at Hedges
vile Mnoday, being conducted by Rev.
Farquhar.
Mr.. Pirrie is survived by widow
and three sons, James, George, Jr..
and John, and three sisters. Mrs.
George Trask. of Utica; Mrs. NJ. F..
Trask. of Ballantine. and Miss Char
lOttie Pirrie, of Tacoma. He is also
survived by a brother. who resides in
Scotland. This brother, David, was
formerly a resident Of Fergus county.

Goes to Choteau to Hold Court.

Judge John A. Matthews, of Town
send, arrived here last evening to pre-
side for Judge Roy Ayers. who has
gone to Choteau to hold court. This
morning the divorce case of Hattie
Sell against Herman Sell was taken
up for trial before the court, sitting
without jury. The plaintiff who
was represented by Judge Cheadle,
sets out in her complaint that she
was married to the defendant at Butte
some years ago and asks for decree
on the grounds of cruelty and failure
to provide. Mrs. Sell also seeks a
share of the property.
The defendant, who is represented
by H. l.. DeKalb, denies that he and
the plaintiff were ever married at all,
although admitting that they for some
time lived together. The trial is ex-
pected to take all of this afternoon
and may extend over into tomorrow.

The contracts for the erection Of
the new building to be put up by the
Fergus County Realty company on
Main street, between Fifth and Sixth
avenue, was let yesterday. The gen:
eral contract went to the Piper Cons
structiOn company, whose bid was just
the contract for the heating and
plumbing, his bid being $1,000. The
excavating for this building is now
about completed and this, with other
work to be done by the owners, will
make an item of $4,000. With the cost
of the site, $17,500, added, and the cost
of the postoffice fixtures, if the lease
is ratified, $4,000, this property will
represent an investment of over $780,
900. Wasmansdorff & Eastman are
the architects of the building.
The New Theater.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
final touches were put on the plans
for the new theater to be erected i'm
mediately adjoining the Bank of Fer
gus County, on Main street, and it is
expected that the contract will be let
about April 81. The plans, as prepared
by Link & Haire, call for very hand
some playhouse and it will have a
large number of exits and be equipped
with all modern improvements. The
theater will seat about 700. 1t will
be completed this year and taken over
by Trepp & Heinecke, the leases.
Slater Building.
The building to be erected by Slater
Bros. on the property adjoining the
Richards block, will, in all probability,

pleted last year by Wasmansdorff &

stories high, of imposing appearance,
and will have a frontage of SO feet on
Main street by 80 feet deep. The
