DoWell Extend Welcome
on Behalf City and State.

Butte yesterday went wild in its
efforts to pay honor to President
Eamonn De Valera of the republic
Of Ireland and to the nation and the
cause he represents. With cheers,
the music OF bands and demonstra-
tions of interest and affection, some
10000 people, comprising residents
Of Butte and from outside points
participated in the various features
Of the city's welcome to the De
Valera party yesterday afternoon
and last night.
The presidential party arrived in
Butte at 5:25 o'clock from Salt
Lake, Utah, where the Irish presi-
don't was given royal reception by
the citizens of Utah. Upon their
arrival at the depot here, the fact
that Butte was heart and soul with
the Irish in their struggle for free
dom was evidenced by the warmth of
the greeting
Plays Irish Airs.
While the A. G.. NJ band burst
into the strains OF Irish airs and
while the crowd of hundreds that
thronged the platform burst into
cheers and applause, President De
Valera and the members of his party
stepped from their sleeper.
Progress of the party along the
platform was temporarily impeded
by the rush Of those present to shake
Mr.. De Valera by the hand and to
extend personal greetings. Miss
Mary Cosgrove, in a pretty speech,
presented Mr.. De Valera with a
handsome bouquet of flowers in be-
half of the women of the state.

state and Mayor w r. Stodden vel.

possible for these same Industries to

Ruthenberg spent the night at the

Last nights meeting in Royal hall

He ordered me some tea at once,

little Peter.
Then Jimmie Coon whispered to
Teddy Possum and Teddy disappear
ed. What he said was, ''go and dig
out the mud under this grass on the
edge of the water"
"No," said Jimmie, "you can't see
at all, Peter, from where you sit.
Come closer to the edge. There is a
little grassy place see? Here is some
white clover too, and l will sit be-
side you and-Teddy Possum, where
are you anyway? Teddy Possum
will explain to you just how his
dock is made, Peter
Of course you wouldn't believe
what that bad Jimmie Coon had in
his mind.
That cunning little Peter Rabbit
came and sat down in the grass and
clover right near the water and Ted
dy Possum dug all the earth away
from underneath, and in a minute
the grass gave way, and there was
poor little Peter, struggling in the
water.
The way he acted you never would
have thought he could swim a stroke.
He swan round and round in a
circle, and the edge of the bank was
so steep that he couldn't climb out.
Jimmie Coon was scared in min
ute when he saw that Peter had lost
his head and didn't know what to
do.
Hold on minute, Peter. I m
awfully sorry-I will get you out. !"
And in jumped Jimmie Coon, for he
did love little Peter.
Jimmie held him by one ear and
towed him safely to the bank, and
said, "Really, Peter, you ought to
swim every day for while to keep
i" practice"
Peter shook himself and he looked
just as if he were drowned. And
Sammy Muskrat called, "Hey, there,
Jimmie Coon, something has broken
down my dockW and Teddy Possum
Ninked at Jimmie Coon.
