A guide stood in the rotunda of/the
Capitol and explained majestically:
That sculpture there represents Will
liam Penn making a treaty with the
Indians"
The tourists looked up and absorbed
it all.
Mark Goodwin Of Texas happened to
be passing at the time. He looked up
and saw the guide pointing to a set of
figures showing a white settler club
bling the everlasting tar out of an In
dian. The idea of William Penn, the
advance agent of brotherly love, TAX
ing that course with the Indians was
too much for Mark. He Immediately
reported it to me.

SPECIAL correspondence OF ne Stdr
QUANTICO. Va, April From
population of less than zoo three
months ago this place has grown te
a town of more than1, 900 inhabitants
Ouantico's oldest inhabitants associa-
ton. composed of the $50 or so resi-
dents the village had January i. nc
sooner RECEIVERS from the dazed con-
dition brought about by one big even,
until another just as big throws the
members back into deeper bewilder-
ment.
AT least however. the original resi-
dents of this former flag stop have
been relieved to learn definitely that
the new Ouantico is not to be another
powder town like Hopewell. 1t has
been learned that the du Pont interests
have no designs on Quantico and that
no powder. guncotton or even dye plant
is to be built here.
To Be Industrial Town.
Ouantico is to be manufacturing
and industrial town. it is now known
The industries already located here
with work progressing on the plants
include a big pressed steel manufac-
turing establishment. mammoth
brick plant. several smaller industries
with a proba bility that big ship
building concern will locate a plant
on the deep water of the Potomac be-
tween Quantico and ChappawamSlc
creeks. While this latter has not been
absolutely determined, it is stated the
prospects are that the concern will
begin work on the plant within d
month or six weeks.
High officials of Pittsburgh con
Germ manufacturing steel freight and
passenger cars paid Ouantico a flying
visit this week to look over the work
already done on the plant the COM
pany is building. This plant is to
consist of at least five big units. and
in addition to the railroad equipme Mt
steel products, proba bly, shrapnel
eases, shells. and boilers for steam en-
gines. will be produced.
Rushing Improvement Work.
Work on the towns new electric
lighting and power plant is being
rushed. and large forces of workmen
are busy on the new hotel. which is
being built on the hill above the viii
laee and overlooking a long stretch
up ana down the Potoniac- w ork also
js being rushed on the new bank build
ing. while scores of cottages and more
pretentious houses. for workmen. me-
chanicS and the rest of the towns new
population, are being built.
Information permitted to reach the
public is to the effect that the work
already done and in course of COM
pietion is merely a prelude to what is
to be done as soon real spring
weather arrives. The confident pre-
diction is made by local men in touch
with the big development here that by
the middle of the summer the town
population will have increased to at
least 5000. based on manufacturing
industries that are not dependent on
the production of high explosives or
the indefinite continuance of the Euro
pean war.

the rollicking Rollin.
I didn't wait to hear the answer, as
both gentlemen were perfect strangers
to me. and, besides, the stranger OF
the Two seemed to be in need OF pull
motor at that moment and 1 didn't nap
pen to have one about me. But l re-
peat with Rollin Goldie Locks. why
should any one wear hat.
] suppose that the great American
hat is as solid an institution as the
great American hen, or the END seat
hog, or the child that cries and eats
candy in the heated railroad car, or
any other immovable subject. Just
why the hat is a hat / never under
stood, although l did begin research
into history that led me face to race WIN
the fact that there was once time
when people didn't wear hats, except
now and then, when they'd put on a
steel bucket and go abroad endeavor-
ing to cleave some other gentleman
to the chine. The GOOD OLD dreeks
never worried about whether they had
fedora or dust cap, nor did any
one have to toss a coin to one of the
highbinders outside of an original
Pompeiian cafe.
But today o, glory; When I sit
all crimes I shudder. I refer to the
modern derby hat. If any one can tell
me without smiling just what is the
logic of a derby hat. and why it Is a
derby hat, I'll buy them the best one
that ever came out of $3.50 hat store.
The modern halter takes a derby hat
of last year. which looks like an up
turned rowboat, and lowers the brim
an inch and turns the ribbon upside
down This is accomplished after
deep thought and retirement to some
hat convent where quiet Is necessary.
If he does not make this startling and
revolutionary change. the young men
would wear last seasons hat and there
would be no sales.
Then there's the felt hat. which
brings US touch of the Alps, and
fades in color and design with every
drop of rain, and the silk hat, for
which there is no excuse on the top
of this earth, except that no man can
be elected to the board of aldermen or
to Congress unless he appears in one
at least once in his life. Putting on a
silk hat is like having a mantle fall
upon you from heaven. You go to
certain front doors in this town with
no hat on and try to get in. It's the
the buffers foot. Then put on a silk
hat. Gee! They'll do anything for
you.
I suppose that II you would take a
New Yorker and drop him suddenly
in the midst of the Sahara desert he
would find something that reminded
him Of his own home town; or. falling
that. his first utterance would include
his explanation OF why the place diff
fered from Manhattan. That's the New
Yorker for you. They don't act like
that when they come from Chicago,
Pittsburgh, Seattle. Kankakee or She
boygan. It's just trait of the New
Yorker.

little Johnny neither had been nor

"F1ne! Splendid!' he said to John

And after he made his departure,

ROUND BUTTE SCHOOL
STARTED LAST MONDAY

The consolidated school at Round
Butte started last Monday with a full
corps of teachers and an exceptionally
good attendance. The school promises
to be one of the very best in the coun-
ty and no better country school build
ing can be found in the state. The
building is 42x60 feet with full base
ment fitted thoroughly for use by the
domestic science class and for gather
ings and banquets. The upper floor is
divided into four school rooms, hall
and clothes rooms. The school started
with four wagon routes capable of
carrying 100 children. as follows: Fair
view route, Mrs. Hanson driver; Mud
creek route, ]. F. Olson driver; Hill
side route, V. A. Buchanan driver;
Grandview route, J. Miranda driver.
Preparations for the proper dedica-
ton of the new building are now under
way and will take place about the mid
die of the present month.

IT WASN'T THE SAME WOMAN
Nevertheless, the British Soldiers De-

the Year of Probation.

There is a famous British general
who hates to see his soldiers wed.
One day Tommy came to him and
asked permission to marry.
The general, hoping to cool the
mans ardor, told him to go away and
come back again a year from that
day, and if he was then in the same
mind permission would be given him
to marry. When the year had passed
the soldier repeated his request.
"But do you really still wish to
marry?' asked the general in sur
prise.

Tommy.
"Well, you may marry now" said

the door he turned around and said:

Summons

In the District Court of the Fourth
Judicial District of the State of Mon
tana, in and for the County of Missoula.
Hattie Billings, plaintiff, VS.. Henry
E. Billings, defendant,
The State of Montana sends greetings
to the above-named defendant:
You are hereby summoned to answer
the complaint in this action which is
| filed in the Office of the clerk of this
court, copy of which is hereby served
upon you, and to file your answer and
serve copy thereof upon the plain
tiff's attorney within twenty days after
the service of this summons, exclusive
of the day of service; and in case of
your failure to appear or answer.
Judgment will be taken against YOU by
default, for the relief demanded in the
complaint.
Plaintiff for cause of action alleges
that plaintiff and defendant were law
fully married on the 18th day of Sep
TENDER, A. D. 1889, and ever since
have been and are still husband and
wife. That plaintiff has lived aud re-
sided within the state for more than
one year prior to the commencement of
this action. That the issue of said
marriage consists of two children,
Callie Billings, aged % years. and Nell
lie Billings, aged Is years, each of
whom are now of legal age. The plain
tiff has performed each and all of her
martial duties to and toward the de-
PENDANT, but that the defendant has
totally disregarded his martial duties
to and toward the plaintiff, that he has
been guilty of extreme cruelty to and
toward the plaintiff and has inflicted
and threatened to inhict on the plain
tiff grevious bodily and mental injury
dangerous to her life and safety and
that such course of conduct by the de-
PENDANT has existed and he has per-
sisted in same for more than one wear
prior to the commencement of this ac-
ton. all OF which justly and reasonably
is OF such nature and character as to
render the marriage relationship be-
tween the parties perpetually unreason-
able and intolerable to the injured
party. Plaintiff asks for the sum of
$4,000 attorneys fees and costs of ac-
ton and that the bonds of matrimonv
be dissolved and for an absolute divorce
from said defendant.

court, this Sth day of December, A. d.
