ctOtyNtIC vi
when America gets into the world
war things will happen" said Editor
George H. Lorimer at a dinner in
Philadelphia. America invented the
submarine boat. the machine gun and
the aeroplane, and when it gets busy
war-making the spectacle will be very
remarkable.

combatants in Americas presence will
be like the young fellow who got the
job of private secretary to a multi
millionaire.
1.-THE first morning of his new job
the secretary showed up at o'clock
and found the multimillionaire already
hard at work. The second morning
he showed up at 5 o'clock, and there
was the multimillionaire with half his
mail cleared away. So the third morn
ing he showed up at 7 o'clock and
the multimillionaire looked up from
his desk and said. dryly:
Young fellow. what do you do

Recalls DAYS of Indians.

Ord. Neb., May 10.-To the Editor
of The Bee: l notice in The Bee of
May the article concerning the mys-
FERROUS underground vault, which was
undoubtedly an old Indian storehouse,
as it bears that description. There
the Indians stored all of their surplus
goods that they did not want to take
along with them when they went on
a hunting or trapping expedition. The
storehouses were made more in the
form of one of our modern cisterns.
They would be about two feet across
at the top for a depth of about two
and half feet. when they would be-
gin to enlarge until they would be as
much as twelve or fifteen feet at the
bottom and as many feet deep. The
top was so covered UP that no one
would be able to find it unless they
should dig down below where they
had enlarged the top and mixed the
dirt so that anyone could not just
cuff off the top and find the outside
In the most central part of the VIII
lage, where they will be the most
tramped over and it would be almost
impossible for anyone to find them.
You can see the necessity for such
a place to store their goods of a peo-
pie that were rowing around as much
and away from home as much as the
Indians were. l have thought that l
could see traces of an Indian village
at Omaha as late as 1864, but / think
that was up more toward the Mill
tary bridge. If l remember right.
But it would seem that if Omaha was
built on an old Indian village there
would have been traces of it found
before now. I came to Nebraska ter
ritory in 81. was not in Omaha until
the latter part of '63. but l got very
familiar with every part of the ground
in the next five years.

MODERN DENTISTS
ANSWER ATTACKS

TO THE PUBLIC
When the Missoulian and Sentinel
first began their vicious attacks upon
me and the Modern Dentists, l felt
the only dignified course was to ig-
more them, now l believe their fire.
qunncy demands a denial.
One year ago last February, my
brother, DR.. E. E. McStay, established
the dental firm of the Modern Den
lists" in Missoula. He is a graduate
of Northwestern Dental College OF
Chicago, and has been licensed and
registered dentist in the state OF
Montana for fourteen years.
Dr. H. E. Wright became associ-
ated with the firm of the Modern
Dentists one year ago the first OF
July. He is a graduate of Michigan
university. He is licensed to the
practice of dentistry in this state
and has been in continuous practice
for tine past ten years. During the
past winter, on account of our large
practice, we were obliged to employ
two additional operators, DR.. Lee
and DR.. Cook, both college men and
licensed to practice in the state of
Montana.
I myself. have lived in this state
for twenty-five years, and have held
many positions of trust and honor
with various institutions of the
state, as we'll as having served the
state itself in the capacity of COM
missioner at the Worlds Fair in st.
Louis. My position with the Modern
Dentists of Missoula has been that
of cashier and business manager
have never posed as a dentist nor
have | ever tried in any way to prac-
tice the profession, as all of our pa
tients will verify. If it is crime
to be associated with ones brother,
then I have committed a crime.
have given this short history of
those associated with the Modern
Dentists to show you that the state
ments made in the Missoulian and
Sentinel, that we are fakirs and
quacks, and pass from place to place,
is false and malicious, and is pub
lished to injure our practice.
