under the wheels. The heavy had
passed over his body and there was
one more "good Indian" An infuri-
ated mob at once surrounded Daw-
sons outfit and demanded reparation
for the death of their comrade. Daw-
son quietly dispatched young
Mountain Crow to the camp of his
tribe with an appeal for succor. The
River Grows danced around Dawson
and his companions all day, threaten
ing to tomahawk or kill them. The
Indians gave them until shutdown to
prepare for death. Just as the SIN
was setting a cloud of dust appeared
on the northern sky. A few minutes
later the sound of horses feet was
heard and then the war songs of the
Mountain Crows as 600 of them gal
loped up. The onrush of horsemen
divided and enveloped the camp.
eff one hair of Long Knife's head
has been touched or any one of his
party has been hurt, we will eat up
the whole camp of River Crows"
shouted the chief of the Mountain
Crows as he rode up.
Peace signs were made at once,
the peace pipe was smoked and a
big pOw-wow and feast followed. The
next morning Dawson's party was
again on it's way escorted by the
Mountain Crows.

THE PIANO AT REDS.

There's q hole called Reds Saloon
There's an old piano there,
Blistered, marred and brown,
And q man that's older still,
Takin' drinks for fees,
Plays all night from memory
On the yellow keys.
While the glasses clink and clash
On the sloppy bar,
That pianos dreamy voice
Takes you out and far,
Ridin' old familiar trails
Underneath the moon,
Till you hear drunken yell
Down in Reds saloon.
Whirr of wheel and slap Of cards,
Talk Of loss and gain
Mix with hum Of honey bees
Down sunny lane.
Glimpses Of your mothers eyes,
Touch Of girlish lips
Often make you lose the count
While you stack your chips.
Scufflin' feet and thud of fists,
Curses hot as fire
Still the music sings Of love,
Longin', lost desire,
Dreams that never could have been,
Joys that couldn't stay,
While the man upon the floor
Wipes the blood away.
Then, some way, it follows you,
Sleeps upon your breast,
Trails you out across the range,
Never let's you rest,
And for days and days you hum
Just one scrap of tune
Funny place for music though,
Down in Reds saloon.

JEANETTE RANKIN
BARS PHOTOGRAPHERS

No more pictures are to be
taken by moving picture men
and press photographers of Miss
Jeanette Rankin, the first wom-
an to be elected to congress.
II positively refuse to allow
myself to be photographed and
will not leave the house while
there is a camera man ON the
premises" said Miss Rankin. The
block in which she lives is pa
troled by camera men.
Republican leaders of the
state, it is said, warned Miss
Rankin that the publicity she is
receiving would become obnox-
ious. 1t was at thi, suggestion
the decision was made not to
have any photographs taken for
newspapers and moving pictures.

and it shall be done"
When the Indian returned II was
showing heavily. He babe the indian
strip naked and then he picketed MIN
like a horse near his tent. AFTER ne
had pranced around for an hour or
two in his efforts to keep from freez-
ing, the Indian returned to dawson $
tent almost frozen. He had changed
his mind, he said; he didn't want to
be white horse or any KIND OF
horse if that was what horse mad
to suffer.
Another time an Indian chief be-
came violently sick after gorg1ng
himself on cheap big dish of roast
dog" Dawson gave him an emetlc
and bone by bone the entire skeleton
of the dog was recovered. The In
dian was considerably relieved and
he became one of DaWson's best
friends.
Wagon Party Rescued
BY Mountain Crows.
Another time Dawson with some
COMPANIONS was taking freight from
Fort Union to Fort Benton. While
they were at a camp of the River
Crows, where they had stopped to
barter for robes and peltries, young
Indian who had clambered up on one
of the wagons lost his hold and fell

Community Singing at Butte.

Community singing has been
established at Butte with 200 per-
sons taking part in the opening song
fest in the high school auditorium.
Miss Minerva Bennett, instructor in
music, is highly gratified with the
success of the innovation.
"Coming Thro' the Rye" "Auld
Lang Syne," "Sweet and Low"
elbow, Ye Winds, Heigh- Ho,"
Gloves Old, Sweet Song" and
other old favorites were sung by the
men and women, boys and girls who
attended.
"When voices are lifted in uni
son,' statement on the song
books read, ga note is struck for
a new harmony Of understanding,
mutual good will and similar ideas.
The animating idea of it is that it
promotes better understanding, a
renewed good will and feeling Of
brotherhood between folks.''

lived for many years, engaging in
hunting and trapping and in trading
with the Indians--the first man with
scholarly training to make his home
in the wilderness of the northwest.
At Fort Clarke he was associated
with Pierre Garreau and other noted
scouts, and he married one of Gar
reau's daughters-Josette Garreau.
Indians Believed Dawson
Could Do Anything.
The Indians gave Dawson the name
of Long Knife" as he carried long
sword that was an heirloom from one
of his ancestors who had fought for
the Stuart cause. To his custodian
ship the forts medicine chest was
entrusted and he sent to the states
for medicines to supplement it. He
was ever ready with his medical ad-
vice to relieve the sufferings alike OF
Indians and whites and when the
smallpox scourge visited the region
taking a toll of thousands of lives
and almost discriminating some of the
tribes he gave his entire time to doc
toring.
The Indians came to believe that
Dawson could do anything-that he
could even change them into any
animal he chose for them to become:
"Change me into white horse"

Hitherto they have given much at

walton is expected to have an import

Girl Makes Long Tour.

Miss Helen Chatham, a Nashville,
Tenn, girl, has set a record that will
without doubt stand for some time.
Accompanied by her mother, Miss
Chatham drove her Chandler sedan,
equipped with Goodyear cord tires,
from Nashville to New York and back
with many delightful side trips, with
out any tire trouble, unless two tiny
punctures could be called such. The
distance covered was about $500
miles.

provement in the moral tone and the
educative value of moving pictures.
They have undertaken TO induce the
owners of movie houses to give chill
dren s matinees on Saturdays when
such films as "Alice in Wonderland
would displace melodrama of the
Diamond Dick" variety and tragedy
Of the "vampire" type. This plan
of pleasing the children and the moth
ers once week has been tried with
marked success by motion picture men
in other parts of the country.
Watching Jail and Hospital.
The clubwomen also are keeping an
eye on Jail and poor farm and hos
pital, doing whatever they can here
and there to tighten the burden of the
unfortunate. They are striving, in
particular, to abolish the contract sys-
tenn in public institutions.
"The contract system is too often a
source of graft" said Mrs. Weirick
in telling Of this campaign. "The
contractor who receives $40 month
for each inmate Of a Jail or each pa
tient in county hospital must, of
course, make profit, but he may give
the prisoner or the sick man $3.50 or
$3.50, according to the measure of
his own honesty and the latitude per-
mitted by city or county officials.
Some of the counties and some of the
municipalities of the state have abol-
ished the contract system with highly
beneficial results. The clubwomen are
bending their efforts to obtain aboli-
ton Of the system in all city and
county institutions throughout the
state. 1t has already been banished
from all state institutions.
Butte Has Five Clubs.
Butte has five women's clubs-the
Woman's, Arts and Crafts, Atlas,
Shakespeare and Homer. The first
two meet in the Woman's Club build
ing while the sessions Of the others are
held at the homes of members.
Through their clubs the women of
Butte, as we'll as those of the other
cities of the state, are striving to
equip themselves better to shoulder
the responsibility conferred upon them
by the grant of the suffrage. The
Homer club, the oldest women's club
in the state, is making special study
of parliamentary law. 1t is receiving
instruction weekly in this subject from
Mrs. D. M. Trotter, who recently won
first prize in contest in the practice
of parliamentary law conducted
among the clubwomen of California.

Women Denied Vote.
On the last day of registration in

merly residents of suffrage states,

cause it is rather absurd that a citi-
