Peter Relieves His Mind About
Bob White.

After Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter
had eaten their fill Of the good things
Farmer Browns Boy had brought to
the dear Old Brier Patch for them on
that ,never-to- he forgotten day of the
hard, fey crust over which Farmer
Browns Boy had glided so swiftly on
his skates all of F'eter's uneasiness in
regard to Bob White and his family
had returned to him. He couldn't get
them out OF his head. In spite of the
fact that Bob had told him the day be-
fore that they would sleep in a new
place that night, where the crust could
not make them prisoners, Peter could
not get over the fear that they might
not have done so. and that they were
prisoners under the crust. If they were
it meant that they were starving to
death. Could anything be more terrible
than that?
If it hadn't been for the uneasiness
which had been aroused in his mind by
the strange way in which Farmer
Browns Boy had darted about over the
Meadows faster than he (Peter) could
possibly run. he would have started out
right after breakfast to see II he could
find Bob White :or hear anything about
him. But Farmer Browns Boy, with
those queer flashing things on his feet,
was not the same Farmer Browns Boy
he had come to look on as friend and
to trust. At least Peter couldn't make
him seem the same, not even after he
had brought those fine carrots and tur-
nips. So he kept to the Old Brier Patch
and Mrs. Peter was glad.
Later they saw Farmer Browns Boy
chase Reddy Fox and actually catch
him close by the Old Brier Patch. They
saw Reddy lie stiff and still and, like
Farmer Browns Boy himself, they
thought that Reddy had been fright
ened to death.
II don't wonder" said timid little
Mrs. Peter. I'm sure I should have
died Of fright IL had been in his place.
You have said all along that Farmer
Browns Boy has given up hunting but
Just see what has happened! That
doesn't look like it,"
Peter had to admit that 1t didn't
Then his face frightened, Perhaps"
said he, 'Reddy had been stealing
chickens and Farmer Browns Boy was
just trying to teach him lesson. Per-
haps he didn't know he would frighten
Reddy to death. He didn't look bit
glad. He's taking Reddy home. l
wonder what he'll do with him. Do
you know, I believe 1t will be quite
safe to run up to the Old Orchard? I
want to see if any one there has seen
or heard Bob White. Besides. I want to
tell them the news about Reddy Fox"
OF course, little Mrs. Peter did her best
to keep Peter at home, but he would

offer as substitute and the majority
of women seem quite content to let
their choice rest on these fabrics for
several reasons. This is case where

quite content without a suit or frock

which is we'll as far as 1t goes; but
there probably VIII be such a vast va
riety Of other changes that the maker
of the new clothes will not have mus
trouble in finding q big market.
The two essential differences between
the new coats and those We are wear
ing rest in the front fastening and the
cut of the collar. High position col
lars have given place in a few OF the
distinguished new models to the riding
habit collar. and the close. single
breasted fastening that reaches from
waist to neck has given way to q wide,
fastening with con-
spicuous buttons.
There is something quite reminiscent
in this new coat of the ones worn by
the men of the civil war, and if women
take up the new idea Of putting deep
plum colored cloth coat above a black
and-white checked skirt. the resem-
blance will be more complete. This
type of coat was not new in civil war
times: 1t had been one OF the favorite
masculine garments In other epochs,
but 1t vanished entirely under the
smoothing out and standardizing Of
mems clothes into dull and unpic-
turesque costumery.

WHY GROW OLD?

That young buck, Chauncey Depew,
at present half past eighty-two, comes
frisking forth to give the hook to
David and his we'll known book of
Psalms and things wherein he states,
concerning life and living rates, that
three score years and ten is all man
ought to have and get the call; or, if
by strength and something more, he
|drags it out until four-score, then there
is nothing that he gains with added
but aches and pains. It's plain
enough in this regard that Chauncey
hits the psalmist hard, for he presents
the living truth of husky and contin-
uing youth and clearly shows at 80
what man has done man ought to do.
Young Chauncey's right, old David's
wrong, for by that pessimistic song he
set the pegs, and since that men have
held their three-sco years and ten
was good enough, and reaching it have
put their shutters up and quit. But
Chauncey isn't David's kind: he has
the body and the mind which prove
that David had crouch, and any man
who doesn't SLOUGH can make the
psalmist's limit seem no better than
granny's dream. OF course we have
to pass away, but not by age and slow
decay, for if we keep our spirits up
we need not drink the bitter cup in
little driblets now and then until we
count three-score and ten: but, pass
ing David's limit, quaff the whole
thing down at once and laugh.-Ex

132,159 of 1890, the 243,329 of 1900
and the 376,O53 of 1910, this total of
considerably more than half a mil
lion is impressive. But it is partic-
ularly significant in it's revelation of
an increase in the present year nu-
merically greater by $4,000 than that
from 1910 to the end of 1915.
For this enormous gain the settling
up of eastern Montana is mainly re-
sponsible and in view of the fact that
the vast expanses of productive farm
land which make up this half of the
state have as yet only begun to be
settled and are capable of supporting
a population of millions instead of
merely few hundred thousand,
there is no question that this great
tide Of immigration will continue with
out material diminution for many
years to come says the Billings Ga
zette.
Should the present rate of increase
continue yearly until 1920 Montana
would have population of not quite
100000 and there is little doubt
that it will, for this state, the third
largest in the Union and with an
area, largely productive, as great as
half dozen eastern states, offers the
great opportunity to get ahead in the
world.

Bands have come and gone in this
city, but it looks as though Henry AL
len, leader of the Orpheum Orchestra,
has started one that will put all others
in the shade.
Mr.. Allen is an experienced band
master and orchestra leader and he
has taken charge Of the work of or
ganizing.
About twenty musicians have al
ready expressed their willingness to
join, and many more are expected to
bring the band up to the required
number.
A meeting will be held in the Com
mercial club rooms some time next
week and everyone interested is ur-
gently requested to be present.
Besides directing the band, Mr.. Al
len will give lessons on any instru-
ment for those who desire to join the
organization.
At the coming meeting the band will
elect officers and decide upon nights
for rehearsal. Organizing at this time
will give the band boys plenty of op-
portunity to be in fine shape by spring

the "Good Fellows" get together. In
the near future, meeting of the local
"Good Fellow" club will be held
for the purpose of giving the poorer
citizens of Glasgow a happy Christ
mas. The place of meeting has not
yet been decided upon, but will be
taken up at the meeting of the board
of directors of the Commercial club
Friday evening.
This is movement in which every
man in Glasgow will be interested.
Any person knowing of families which
should be helped under this plan are
requested to report to the secretary
of the Commercial club. The women
especially are asked to cooperate in
this matter. Make your report by
telephone as early as possible. Do
not omit any one, as it may mean a

BIG SALE OF STATE LAND

All records for yearly state land
sales revenue in Montana were broken
the past year when 81 1,657 1921 was
contracted for in state land sales.
These figures were compiled by State
Register of Lands, Sidney Miller.
The month of November also set a
record in being the heaviest financial
month in the history of the state land
office.
During the latter part of the month
the revenue was $36O,346.48. This in
itself is one-fourth of the entire rev.
enue for the fiscal year. During the
first half of the month the receipts
were $SS,939.93.
There have been more applications
for buying and leasing state lands
during the fiscal year just ended, then
in any other period in the history of
the state land Office.
Over 10000 acres were sold dur
ing the year.

WHAT IS TO FOLLOW

America is overreaching herself.
Prosperity is running riot in certain,
spots New York has become the
capital city of the world Millionaires
are being made over night and money
is being piled up mountain high. Even
the masses are being caught is the
momentum of the mad rush FOR money
just money and more money. The
pace is becoming too swift. We will
soon be unable to sustain it. Thus:
what is to follow?
\ ten per cent wage increase has
just been posted by one Of the big
eastern steel corporations. Within
six weeks, if the Adamson law is held
to be constitutional, the wages of the
railway trainmen of the country will
materially advance. 1t was reported
that big mining companies promised
their men a substantial increase in
wages when copper reached thirty
cents, and we suppose they have made
good their word. A similar state Of
affairs exists in practically every line
of industry throughout the land.
1t is true that wages have not KEEP,
pace with the increased cost Of living
but that simply emphasizes the point
