Humorous lapses.

Not every commencement speaker
has said precisely what he wished .
say 10 the young people before him.
One was tripped by most unhappy
lapsus linguae at young ladies' semi
nary.
He meant to say: But !
have talked too long. and | do
not wish to speak to weary
benches" Instead of which he said
"beery wenches." Thereby reminding
us of Tutor Spooner of oxford. who
thus addressed a meeting of farmers
at is gratifying to me to behold so
many tons of soil"
But university lecturer lately
matched these infelicities when he
said: I'm not going to talk very
long, but if you get what I'm going tC
say in your heads you'll have the
whole thing in n nutshell"
There's many a true word spoken il
jest.

TYPICAL OF GOLDEN WEST
I title Montana Town Of Willow Creek
Has Something Of Which East
Cannot Boast.

Willow Creek is the ordinary name
of an ordinary small town in Montana.
Bear Creek, Roundup and Sioux Pass
have more of the Western flavor, but
Willow Creek is typical little West
ern town i'm spite of its name. 1t Is
so in the midst of vast tract of clean
prairie land that ii cannot be measured
by the yard-wide rule of cities. In
the distance towering mountains keep
q paternal watch over II.
Even when the early morning mists
hide the mountains and prairies, Will
low Creek stands out spunkily-a def
mite spot on the landscape. The sta
tion near the railroad tracks is very
small. quite square and very red. Lux
uriant groves of trees fill the spaces
between the pretty little white, frame
houses. A road that looks clean
svept shows to all corners q straight
and narrow way ranchward. Several
large willows dip their fingers in the
current of the little creek that runs
behind the white houses.
As the train from the west stops a
few minutes at Willow Creek, in the
early dawn. middle-aged man swings
off and starts down the road at n good
pace. One would know him anywhere
, for a mining man.
The metropolitan doing the transcon
tinental trip may smile at little Willow

Young George paid his respects To

having been occupied with various af-
fairs and engagements on Sunday I'M

les concerned with building or eXca-
vations were not introduced into the
conversation. which was Il cheerful

some new plans of his. He spoke of
his desire 10 extend his proficiency in
driving: in fact, he entertained the
ambition TO drive n fOur-in-hand. How
ever, as the Major said nothing. and
merely sat still, looking surprised.
George went on to say that he did not
