MI, will give his talk in the Shepherd
College auditorium on birds and bird life.
Mr.. Oldys is a famous naturalist and an
authority on birds, and his lecture is said
to be very delightful. He initiates the
calls and songs OF the various birds and
describes their habits and characteristics
most entertainlngly. He comes here on
the invitation of Prof. Thos. c. Miller,
and Mr.. Miller asks us through the Reg
lister TO extend an invitation to all the
people to attend the lecture, the exact
hour for which will be made known later.
There will be no charge for admission.
The editor was one in pleasant party
OF folks from this neighborhood who
spent the day most agreeably last Friday
at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. 7. F. Ham,
mond, near Kearneysvlle. The occasion
was Joint celebration OF the birthday OF
Mrs. Hammond and her father, Mr.. Ma
son Marshall. Mrs. Hammond pleased
her father by inviting number OF his
old Confederate comrades to share in the
festivities, and the old Rebs had fine
time fighting the battles over again and
swapping yarns. And what a fine din
ner Mrs. Hammond served! The good,
wholesome things OF the country were
served in abundance-chicken, ham and
the trimmings, and everybody enjoyed
the feast. The editor gives notice right
now that whenever there's good coun-
try dinner to be attended to he is willing
to help.

Twenty-Five Year Shoes

Soon one may be buying shoes with
a 5000 mile guarantee, if the lessons
Of The war should tempt some astutc
manufacturer to introduce E,sparto
grass shoes in America. These are
made principally in Spain aud Portu-
sal. and TO some extent in the noun
tain districts of France bordering upon
Spanish territory. A single pair often
will last twenty five years. it is said.
and "a pair OF E.sparto shoes only ten
years old may be said to have been
just broken in
This grass is of a peculiar tough
ness. Is practically wear proof and
makes - very comfortable shoe. The
Spanish peasants fashion their fiber
iutu IA shoe that resembles Il moccasin,
sometimes dyed in lively tinis. The
sole is loosely woven. and in the course
of years, sand and gravel adhere to
the sole, making ii AS hard as leather.
But they are said to be thoroughly
comfortable at all times.
Recently Il foreign concern estab-
lishcd Il plant in Spain and started to
make these shoes for export. But il
is said that the firm used an inferior
grade of the grass and its shoes did
not prove satisfactory. But the high
cost OF leather and the long wearing
qualities of the Esparto shoe combine
to offer what appears to be an excel
lent opportunity for good stroke of
business.

GET IN LINE, EVERYBODY.

We are to try community sing
ing. II must be a success. II will
be necessary only for our people
TO get together and sing, and that
does not appeal to us as u difficult
task. We know what communit,
singing has done for other cities.
and we know that similar results
may be had in Missoula. Success
depends wholly upon our desire
to cultivate the community spirit.
1t is a distinctive and well-tried
element in the promotion OF
growth and prosperity in other
cities.
Moreover, community singing
is to be made enjoyable. Under
the direction Of Professor De Loss
Smith there will be offered Il pro-
gram Of fine merit. The Alis>ouIla
band will have big part; there
will be prominent sololsts. and
the University Glcc club will lend
its aid.
1t must be remembered. how
ever, that everything falls down
unless the people sing. \ con
tinuation Of the movement will
depend entirely upon the success
of the first meeting. Everything
will be free. All that is asked o.
the people is to meet at the Mis-.
soula thcater at 8 O'Clock Sunday
night and do their best.
There will be published ia tn,

for the remainder of the week
Our readers are asked to learn tn,

Spooks Talked for Kaiser
at the Bismarck Club

, ating Il court scandal of u very SEN
sational character.
Augusta Schoen. who had once been
on the music hall stage, scored a
great success at one of the first Bis
marck seances. She declared that she
was in communication with a Countess
Berger. a former lady of the imperial
, household, who had died some years
previously. She evidently had ac-
quircd some knowledge about the
countess history and life at the court,
and the kaiser was distinctly i'm
pressed with this exhibition OF
Schoen's powers of communicating
with the dead.
Schoen made out that the dead COUNT
ess was sending the most flattering
il occasionally mysterious messages to
the kaiser, i'll which the dead countess
always alluded to him as the man OF
Destiny
Schoen, elated with her success, one
night thought she might score a still
bigger success. and declared that she
had got a communication with Will
helm I, the kaiser's grandfather.
SCHOEN WAS TOO AMBITIOUS.
Now it happened that that night Won
Falkenhayne WIS at the Bismarck and
was seated next to the kaiser at the
seance. Won Falkenhayne regarded
the whole proceedings with profound
disapprovaL and when Schoen an
nounced that she had got into COM

s'NN FEiNgR's TRICK,

One of the released Sim Feiners tells
the following: While he was in prison
his wife wrote and said that she was in
great trouble over the difficulty she eX-
perienced in getting her land plowed.
The prisoner at once saw his oppor-
tunity of getting his own back at the
expense of the Saxon. and replied, tell
ing her to ask certain neighbors to give
her helping hand. but to be careful
not to dig too deep. as arms and ammu-
milton were buried in his land.
AS the prisoner knew, the letter
would be read by the authorities, who
at once ordered his land to be dug up
by the police. They dug and dug. but
found no arms. and at last gave up
their job in despair. The next letter he
received from his wife informed him
that the police had dug up his farm
