taking supplies and other passengers.
There was the ship, bound for the place
of opportunity, the land where men found
fortunes in an hour and saw before them
dreams of ease for the remainder of their
lives And here on the beach was he,
konrad, who might have been on her but
for his act of sacrifice! They We're pre-
pairing to make sail on her. The shrillng
of the boatswain's S whistle could be heard,
and the rush of men seen.
THEN-what was that? Something
had happened. There seemed to be
some delay. konrad saw the boat low
cred over the side again, saw movement
around it, and it came toward the shore.
When it landed man was carried out of
it on stretcher, and Konrad learned that
one of the sailors had met with an acci-
dent, broken both legs, and was to be
left behind
kOnrad lost no time in rushing down to
a man on the beach below whom he knew,
and asking to be rowed out to the ship.
A little later the skipper was astonished
to be again accosted by "that Dutchman,"
who now in haste blundered forth that he
knew the ship was hand short and
thought that he might fill the vacancy.
He explained that while not good sailor
he believed he could do enough to earn
his passage, and the Yankee shipmaster,
amazed at such persistence, said:
"Well, I'll be hanged! A chap like you
deserves some luck. Go for'ard and tell
'em you're here. Look alive now!
Don't stand there as if you wanted to
thank me! It's no charity job you have
aboard this packet"
And it wasn't! And yet it was very
happy man who saw the open swell of the
Pacific Ocean when the Sarah Jane stood
out to sea.
A DIVERSE winds and storms of hurri-
cane strength beat and baffled the
ship as she strove to make her way north
ward. Gains settled round her that failed
to fill her sails. Sailors whistled in vain
for a breeze; while the water supply went
stale and the food lowered until scarcely
biscuit was served that was not filled
with weevils, and once there was threat
of mutiny-not participated in by that
apostle Of cheerfulness, Konrad. He
could have qualified as an A. B. long be-
fore the final train of hardshps when,
farther north, and hoping that ill fortune
was at an end, the Sarah Jane encountered
another series of storms and, as if she
had come to the limit of her endurance,
began to strain her timbers, and then to
leak so badly that nothing but the utmost

We're up there toward

amazes all who reach

in this land of gold to
make more than liberal

time he had come to

business. 1t was that
of finding gold; so,
dissatisfied, he an
nounced that he would
continue prospecting.
Heinrich and he parted
company, for the first

mostly of food, and the

som ATToR EY.

Last week we had an item telling
about O'Keefe going back to the
farm and from the bill he filed yes
terday with the clerk and recorder
of Phillips county for services rem
dered in prosecuting criminal cases
in this county it will be an easy
matter for him to retire. His work
has been assisting the county attor-
ney, both the one that was relieved
of duty short time ago and the
present county attorney, and for
such services he filed bill for the
amount of $3,525.00. Besides the
preliminary hearings and the draw
ing of some papers he appeared in
four cases in the district court and
in three of them where the State Of
Montana was the plaintiff and Phil
lips county paying the bills, the de-
PENDANTS were acquitted, and in the
fourth the jury failed to reach an
agreement.
From the evidence introduced at
the trial of one of the alleged cattle
rustlers it is very doubtful if the
remaining cases will ever come to
trial in Phillips county. 1t would
look very much to an outsider that
the defendants were arrested on a
shoestring and were being prose-
cuted on far lss.

MILLER WINS.

The Malta Enterprise of this
week says: "wednesday morning
we counted nine loads of grain in
front of the south side livery barn
that had arrived too late to get into
the elevators etc." Mere trifle,
Brother Johnson. Tuesday afternoon
we counted nine freight cars on the
track here being loaded at one time
with grain and further on Thursday
noon of this week we counted eigh-
teen wagons that had arrived in
town too late to be weighed at the
scales before dinner and they were
lined up waiting their turn at the
scales. Speaks we'll for Saco as a
grain market.
OF course We admit defeat, but if
we had been given the last say it is
very likely that we could have made
Miller's nine freight cars and eigh-
teen wagons look like a row of
young beans on frosty morning
We had no idea that an editor of
Miller's standing would become
worked up to any great extent over
our nine little wagon loads of grain.

MALTA SCHOOL NOTES.

All the children are enjoying the
weeks vacation. The furniture is
rapidly being moved from the old
to the new building. It has been
thoroughly cleaned, but will not be
stained until later.
Arrangements are being made to
secure the stereopticon for school
use soon. While the subscriptions
to the Post, Journal and Country
Gentleman have nowhere near paid
Tor one, we rest secure in the belief
that all will come to our assistance
by allowing the school to handle
your new or your renewal subscrip-
tions.
The occupation of the new school
necessltates reorganization. AS to
time, school will be in session from
to IL a. M, and from 1:15 to 4
p. m. This will permit the children
to make the trip home for dinner.
Five minutes more thus afforded. AS
to grading, the children will be in
the same grades but the work of the
teachers will be arranged as follows:
Miss Hakes, first grade; Miss Cough
lin, second grade and third A; Miss
Aver, third B and fourt grade; Miss
Macarthur, fifth grade and sixth

Ferguson's second love affair. The
wedding announcement came as a
great surprise to her friends, and
many say they will not believe it until
they see her band Of gold. In 1908
Miss Ferguson became the wife of
Frederick Chamberlain Hoyt. She
obtained a divorce from him in New
Jersey in 1914.
At that time Miss Ferguson said:
Marriage with most men is only for
the daring souI-she who is content
with the glamour while it lasts; who
knows the awakening will come and
is willing to endure the loneliness and
heartaches that are bound to fol-
low"
Evidently, one short year and
Thomas Benedict Clarke have per-
suaded Miss Ferguson to reverse her
ideas on matrimony and men.
Or, T. B. C. isn't one of the most
men"
Now about the bride-tO-be:
Her eyes are as blue as cigarette
smoke, her hair is beautiful auburn
shade and a certain contralto note in
her gentle voice gives warning Of in
tensity and passion. She believes.
that home life has a tendency to
soften a woman's heart, and she is an.
artist it will help her make a success
of her work. Miss Ferguson will not
give up her stage career when she be-
comes Mrs. Clarke.

the Lamar schools By this plan of
semi-annual promotion, classes are
kept half year apart instead of a
year apart and it is much easier to
properly classify pupils. A bright,
hard working student can often bridge
the half year gap and earn mid-term
promotion whereas under the old plan
he would be kept marking time in
the same grade for an entire year.
Short Course Promising
Everything looks promising for a
good attendance at the First Annual
Short Course for farmers boys at
the Lamar high school. The short
course will continue for five weeks.
There will be no tuition charge and
the course will consist of practical
studies connected with the work of
the farm. A short course basket ball
team is promised and there will be
other interesting features along with
the grind of study. There will be no
expense for text books. Farmers and
their sons are welcome to attend and
to participate in the discussions. Ses-

Physical Examination Results

The state law requires that ply
steal examination be made of all the
school children during the first month
of school term. Usually this exami-
nation is made by the teachers, but
this year the Board of Education re-
quested the physicians of Lamar to
give the benefit of their training and
experience to the schools in the ad-
ministration of the annual physical
examination of school children. This
the local physicians agreed to do and
in about weeks time they rendered
gratuitous and efficient service that
received the formal thanks of the
board and deserves the commentator
of patrons generally. All records
were made by the teachers and were
left with the school.
The results of the examination ap-
pear in the annual report to the
county superintendent as follows:

SAM DAVIS TELLS OF
INTERNATIONAL HOTEL
IN THE EARLY DAYS

Sam Davis, who has the concession
to conduct a Forty Nine Camp at
the Panama-Paciic Exposition in San
Francisco, is publishing a paper in the
camp called the Forty Nine Appeal,
and it is full of "reminiscences, clever
stories and facts about early days III
Nevada. Every article in every issue
is worth reproducing and the little
sheet will be more widely copied dur
ing the next twelve months than any
paper published on the coast. In a
recent issue Sam becomes reminiscent
over the recent burning of the cele-
brated old international Hotel in Vir-
ginia City last month, and relates Il
story about a celebrated speech made
in the old caravansary in early days
by SANDY Bowers" He says:
Few structures in the west could
boast of such a history. The most
distinguished men of the nation have
stopped at this hotel.
From its big veranda men OF ma
tional reputation have delivered clas-
sic orations.
But the most pointed and well re-
ceived speech made from that spot
was the brief Grafton made by Sandy
Bowers. When he became worth a
million dollars by lucky turn in
stocks he addressed the mob at his
feet as follows:
Boys, | now have money enough
to throw at the birds. want the
town to drink at my expense to-
night
An approving roar went up from {
street and the saloons kept open
house till morning. 1t was wild
night of champagne revelry from
Cedar Hill to American Flat.
When Sandy went around with his
check book the next day he settled
all accounts without question, and
it cost him over $4,000.
What if those old walls could speak.
The greatest lights of the worlds
stage spent memorable days and
wild nights there.
Mark Twain and his convivial set
made many a merry night of it there
in the old days with Adah Menkin,
Artemus Ward, Joe Goodman, Rollin
NJ. Raggett and the gay singers from
Paris.
The fashion and wealth of the ledge
gathered there with feasts and ban
quets that would make Lucullus turn
over in his grave"
