HUMAN AUTOMAT0N AT.
SILVA'S TOGGERY DRAWS
CROWDS OF SPECTATORS

Not all the Carnival freaks will be
stationed at Aala Park. One of them,
Cintro; a weird human automaton,
that arrived by the steamer Wilhel-

quarters at Silvais Toggery on King

terday and today a crowd of the couri-
cus-minded persons gathered to watch
the freak perform in the stores show
window. HI
What is it-man or machine?" No
one who watched the dummy seemed
willing to answer the query definitely
either way. One businessman, after
watching the dummy for ID minutes,
probably sized up the situation best in
the remark: ~ $500.
We'll, if it's a dummy it certainly
is wonderful, and if it's man he's re-
markably clever" ...
Cintro, the man in charge of the
exhibition, explained it has been sent
here to demonstrate Hart, Schaffner
& Mar clothes and has appeared in
similar capacity in many of the big
stores of the mainland, such as Roos
Brothers and the Emporium at San
Francisco, Bullock's in Los Angeles
and Daniel Fishers at Denver.
Although the automaton is most
likeIike, IT is impossible to detect the
least CULVER of muscle or movement

of life in it. At one time it stood
quite still for 10 or 20 minutes, pre-.

HOME GUARD MOVEMENT
GETS START IN HELENA
Mass Meeting Led by Governor Re
suits in Enrolling 300 in One Night
for Local Defense.

Helena. = The home guard move
ment in Montana had its inception in
Helena, where at mass meeting Of
citizens led by Governor Sam v. Stew
art 300 were enrolled in one night fol-
local defense, the governor himself be
ing one of the first to sign the muster
roll
The same night the Helena Rifle
club, which is affiliated with the Ma.
tional Rifle Association of America,
offered it's services as a body to the
governor. AS every member of the
club was armed with the modern
service rifle, here was an actual COM
pany of well-drilled troops, familiar
with all arms and ready for call at
moments notice.
The action of the Helena Rifle club
led to the idea of forming a regi-
ment of sharpshooters, to be raised
throughout Montana, and held for in
slant service.

The Children's Poet.

In the st, Nicholas Magazine Hide
garde Hawthorne gives a sympathetic
sketch of the life of Robert Louis
Stevenson, whose "Child's Garden of
Verses is perhaps the most popular
book of poetry ever written. His pas
sionate attachment to children is ex-
pressed best by Andrew Lang, whom
Miss Hawthorne quotes:
"There was very pleasant trait
In Stevenson's character which, per-
haps, does not display itself in most
of his writings-his great affection
for children. In an early letter
he writes: Kids is what is the mat
ter with me. Children are too
good to be true He had a natural
infatuation, so to say, for children as
children little boys and girls
were his delight, and he was theirs"

DIDN'T BEAT WOMAN, SHE
WAS ONLY HIS WIFE

Butte. = II didn't beat a woman, l
beat my wife," was the explanation
made in the police court by Nick Dava-
kakis, a Greek, who appeared on a
wife-beating charge. He told the
court he acted according to an ancient
custom of the Greek church.
But surely. you haven't the nerve
to stand there and say you have a
right to come to America, marry a
good white woman and then beat her
every time you wish,' Assistant City
Attorney Lorenz exclaimed.
"She is my wife," was the answer
of the Greek.
81 find you guilty and fine you $500,
or decree that you serve fifty days in
JAIL" the court said.

OF MONTANA HOMESTEAD
to Recover $4,000 in First Case
of Kind Ever Brought.

Butte. = For the first time in the
history of the Montana district of the
Federal court has the government
sought to recover the value of land
obtained through fraudulent homestead
entry, instead of seeking to have the
patent cancelled.
The suit is against Ernest A. Mac
kay, patentee, and Michael E. Will
liams, successor in interest. The gov
eminent demands $4,000, the value of
the land. which is located in northern
Sweet Grass county.
1t is alleged that Mackay, acting as
a dummy for Williams, filed on the
160-acre tract. The entryman is said
not to have been a bona fide home
steader, but obtained patent, soon
after which he gave the title to the
tract to Williams, who has mortgaged
it to Robert l.. Taft.
