Representative Richmond P. Hobson,
who was the hero of the big boat sinking in
Santiago harbor during the Spanish Ameri-
can War, and who later had his reward in
being kissed by the longest and loveliest
line of girles known to history, was cross
examining Miss Minnie Bronson, an anti
sufragist, at a hearing before congress
sional committee.

as we'll as men in politics. asked Mr..
Hobson.

Bronson.

The Limit Of Sympathy

The Limit Of Sympathy
Bv General Stonewall
I am tender-hearted chap
And thrill with sympathy.
When encountered some poor wight
Who's STEPPED in misery,
stretch to him a brothers hand
To ease the sting of woe.
And with grasp fraternal, tried
To set his heart aglow.
Imet man on New Years day
Who never makes mistakes,
And gave to him the tenderest
OF all my tender shakes.
1t must be awful to be right
Forever and day,
And feel that you have not been built
Of truly human clay.
Another fellow came along,
Who said in all his life
He'd never had, outside, a tiff
Or quarrel with his wife:
Oh! how, pittied him indeed;
For bitter is the cup
OF him who's never tasted
The joy of making up!
Hand outstretched another came,
Through the colored whirl,
Who said he had never flirted with,
Or kissed pretty girl.
had no pity for that man
With all his show of pride.
Because, in spite of what he said
think the fellow lied.

Monkeyward Puncher

There was quite a curiosity on
the streets yesterday in the
shape of a young man wearing
the regulation cowboy suit so
popular among the range riders
a few yes RS ago. This young
man, who by the way bore
none of the marks of a seasoned
cow puncher. wore the snaps,
spurs, sombrero and handker-
chief around his neck and all
were scruplllously clean, even
the snaps showing that they
never had been astride a
broncho. The young man is
said to have come here to ride
for a nearby rancher and found
ON a visit to the place that there
was nothing to ride. In the
good old days such a aregalia was
termed a Monkey-Ward cow
puncher and he had a hard time
of it with the old seasoned cow

Rumors A-Plenty

There are all kinds of rumors
afloat about arrests in connec-
ton with the cattle stealing case
which is now in the forefront
in Conrad. One is that a
prominent business man of
Shelby and two men from the
Sweet Grass hills country, about
forty miles north of Shelby, are
under arrest. Another is that
a former well-known young
business man of Conrad is under
arrest at Fort Benton. Besides
this there are reports t h t
several more citizens of Conrad
are to be arrested.
These reports are not verified
as there is no information to be
had from those working on the
case and they must be taken
for what they are worth.

Visit Copper Town

Anaconda, June 29.-Chief
Rocky Boy of the Chippewas
is in the city with a retinue of
his tribe, revisiting scenes of
one of his favorite camping
places, and incidentally gather
ing spare silver for the support
of his dependents. He is ac-
companied by Cas-. Reid and
Standing Rock braves, will
speak intelligently and make
known their wants by present
ing subscription list, which
has now been fairly well
patronized and was started more
than year ago in Great Falls.
The headquarters of the
wandering tribe is now at Great
Falls, though they still have
hopes of getting an allotment of
land on the grounds of old Fort
ASsinniboine.
Rocky Boy has a few more
wrinkles since he left the Deer
Lodge valley four or five years
ago, but otherwise shows no trace
of old age, or of the hardships
he has experienced in his
travels, and they have been
many.
He claims to have 700 people
in his camp now. His first call
in the city was made on his old
time friend Bob Greig, was re-
called the time he painted up
the tribe in oil paints for the
Fourth of July celebration
parade. That incident was a
serious one for Greig until he
discovered what had happened
and acted as medicine man with
the turpentine to wash it off.
The history of Rocky Boy and
his tribe is a familiar one and
the problem is unsettled by the
bureau of Indian affairs. The
allotment made on the Black
foot reservation was protested
by settlers, who found the no
MAIDS undesirable neighborS, and
they are still without a location
that they can call home.

New Brand of Bait

The very latest thing in the

of enclosing the fisherman's pait

no matter how much the fish
bite the bait will last all day.
Fishermen have been enclosing
their bait in bottles over since
the time of old Ike Walton
himself, but we have never
before heard of any such thing
as making it last all day. These

Sorry for Themselves

The Havre papers are very
peevish over the efforts being
made to set aside the ASSN
niboine reservation as home
for Rocky Boy. The editors of
the Havre papers are holding
up their lilly-white hands in
holy horror at the prospect of
having these nomads at their
front doors, occupying t h e
choicest tract of land in the
Bearpaw settlement and are
scolding everybody concerned
because they were not per-
m n entity placed upon the
Blackfeet reservation, which,
according to their myopic view
seems fit only for the homeless
and unfortunate band. A great
deal of maudlin sentiment has
been wasted upon Rocky Boy
and his tribe, by the people of
Great Falls, Helena, Havre and
other cities, but when it comes
to a question of a dwelling place
all the above named towns want
them placed somewhere else.
1t is ridiculous assumption
and a brazen affront to the re-
sidentS of the Blackfeet to
assert in one breath that the
Assinniboine is too good for
the Rocky CreeS and that the
proper place for them is on the
Blackfeet reservation. In the
first place, the Rocky Boys were
assigned lands on the Blaekfeet
and refused to remain upon
them, asserting that they could
not make a livelihood thereon,
while all around them the Pie
gans were prospering. They
are confirmed nomads and as
long as they remain in Montana
will be a problem to the state
and federal governments. The
people of the Blackfeet are
fully justified in resenting at
tempts to foist the band uron
them.

will continue this practice.

EVIL ALWAYS IN IDLENEss

There is an excellent proverb, which

runs thus: ITO do nothing il to do
evil" Perhaps-it is this which makes
the Jap so busy. 1t is very hard to
catch him dhing nothing. Even his
social intercourse is filled with things
to do. There rs infinite bowling and
scraping and bending double before a
friend is properly greeted or tea is

not be compelled to work so far as
the Japanese make it work in order
to do good. Il is question whether
the wise OF this country realize as
they might, and as the wise should
how evil i. is be idle. 1t is this
which leads the children of the city
