initiative force did not depend upon IN

three years he had made himself an eX-
pert accountant and hookkeeper.
But Ireland was too limited and not
sufficiently progressive to hold this am
bilious youth and when he was u he
sailed for the United States, immediately
seeking out an uncle who had been In
this country for some time and who was
located in the then territory Of Utah.
He soon secured a position with the
Wells Fargo Express company as its
agent at kelton- In this capacity he
continued for about a year, making good
use of his opportunity for observing var
ious features of the transportation bust
ness. in which he saw practical possibil-
tiles for himself.

In 1873 he resigned his position and
became the conductor of one of the mule
teams which were then typical form of
transportation in that new country. In
q few months of service with his mule
train. freighting from Corinue. Utah. to
Montana points. he saved enough to pass
from the position Of hired conductor
to that of the owner of mule team. He
thereupon proceeded to engage in freight
ing from river and railroad points to
business centers and mining camps of
the territory. Within year he had
bought second mule team outfit, and

time. in 1880, that he established himself
in Fort Benton.
Mr.. Browne was among the foremost
freighters of this region throughout the
notably active transportation period from
1879 to 1885. His returns were so graf
flying as to place him upon a more and
more firm foundation in a financial way.
As his transportation work by degrees
had passed from the active performance
Of work upon trains to their general
management. he interested himself in
other lines of business.

Billings, Dec. 10.-Thirty four more
volunteer miners left here, Wednesday.
for Bear Creek with the intention of
opening up the Smokeless and Sootless
mine at Washoe The coal taken from
this property, like that Mt the Bear
Greek mines, will be shipped to Billings
to relieve the serious situation with
which the entire city is faced.
The men were forced to abandon the
locomotive several miles outside of Bear
Creek and resort TO shoveling snow from
the tracks to enable the train carrying
their equipment to pass. Including this
force, there are now 10 men working at
the mines. which are expected to reach
a combined production of between 300
and 400 tons by Thursday.
A party headed by Mayor w. Lee
Mains. of Billings, left the mines at
Bear Creek and proceeded TO the Smoke
and Sootless mine to prepare the pro-
perty for the arrival of the new workers.
Two cars of coal were shipped from the
former place, but as yet neither of the
consignments had reached Billings

Kissing Husband
of Another Woman
Is NOT Illegal

Chicago Tribune Special Dispatch to
Great Falls Daily Tribune.
Chicago, Dec. 10. There they
stood, right In the middle of "that
woman's room!" Such kissingl 1t
was more than little bit annoying
to Mrs. H. Slater. The man hap
pened to be her husband. So she
cIutched Miss Helen Leyerich by the
hair and threw her down stairs.
Mrs. Slater was charged with as
sauIt and battery before Judge How
ard Hayes in the municipal court.
And would you believe it! The judge
decided kissing another Womans hus-
band is not iiegal-aIthough 1t may
be improper. So he placed the in
diqnant Mrs. Slater under peace
bonds Of $1,000.
The girl lived In a house owned
by Mrs. Slater. Every few days
there would be some repairs need
ed. And hubby would always grab
his hat and volunteer to fix things.
Mrs. Slater became suspicious and
on Nov 20, she testified, she fol-
lowed her husband into Miss Lever
ich's room. And oh my! 1t looked
lust like the sugary closeup at the
end of a movie romance she said.
"Why, Judge, he grabbed ms aid
kissed me-" Wept Miss Leye;ich.
There was no mention of Mr.. Sia-
ter and me going for little Joy ride.
He's perfect gentleman, Judge.

The Home Industry.

Bralding rugs is the most attractive and
best paid form of home employment for
women who want to turn the hours not
required for their household duties, into
money.
Seven years ago, the President of Pink
ham Associates, Inc, conceived the idea
of turning what had formerly been an
article of no established value, Hand
Braided Rugs, into a business. Women
throughout the State who had formerly
made rugs from the family rag bag, and
for their own use only, became Associate
Rug Makers and the product was placed
on The market.
Today, there are several hundred A. So
ciate Rug Makers who are devoting all or
part of their time to brading rugs right
in their own homes and receiving cash for
the time they are giving to the work.
Practically every community iii the State
has rug maker who is Pink ham As
sociate and she is earning good pay.
Many of the Associa tes who are on the
pay roll today have been making Pink
ham Braided Rugs continually since 1912
Quite few of them earn from six to
seven hundred dollars year and attend
to their household duties as we'll.
Full particulars explaining how to be-
come Pinkham Associate Rug Maker
