A rich man who had sums Of gold
Discovered he. was growing old
Was coming to that time Of life
When he must quit its sordid strife
And spend his few declining days
In restful, less-exacting ways.
But when he sat him down to rest,
He found his ease no joy possessed.
The hours dragged, the days were
His nights brought neither mirth
nor song. j.
And with the gold he'd fought to
wa own, Us.
He found that he must live alone.
He called a trusty servant nigh 4
The things for which, he wished, and
said:
"Your long have bought my wine and
bread, -t ~; 81 'f "
And ~bargained here in shop and
store
For all that I have hungered for.
Now I've another a for you:
Go buy me a friend or two.
l want the cOmradeship OF men
Men who will gladly cheer me. when
I am depressed, and talk with me.
Go fill this room with company"
The servant left as he was told, 4.
And talked about his masters gold.
He tramped the streets both up and
down,
Searched the far suburbs Of the
town, s-
And sought to buy a friend or two,
Who to q rich man would be true.
But all who heard him loudly jeered.
Refused his proffered coin and
sneered.. .. u.
And this he said. when he returned:
"For once your money has been
spurned. .
With all the gold you have to spend.
You cannot buy, faithful friend.s''

Federal Reserve bank, to be es-
tablished in Helent, it is report
ed in banking circles. MI. Carl
son is we'll known to Montana

The location of the bank, a
question on which there has
been much discussion by the
Montana bankers recently, was
definitely fixed in the announce
ment in Helena by John H. Rich,
chairman of the board of diree-
tors of the Ninth district bank,
that the branch would be locat-
ed in that city.
It's operation will require 80
people. Before the bank is ep-
ened. directors of the Minneap-
oils Federal Reserve bank win
start a campaign to have as
many Montana banks as PES
sible join the Federal Reserve
system.
The branch bank is required,
according to Montana bankers,
because Of the increased de-
mand in Montana for Federal
Reserve re-discount privileges.

manager of the Rex theatre, re-
turned Wednesday ewing from
a weeks hunting in Gardner,
where he was hunting elk.
Gardner is located near the en-
trance of Yellowstone Park.
Mr.. Stevens got two fine elk

also stated that he saw a larxe
herd of buffalo, but was not al
lowed to shoot them. He was

London, Jan Ia. c. Segrue,
Munich correspondent of the Daily
News under date of Wednesday eve
ming saws:
Provincial newspapers today dis
play the utmost indignation at pro-
ceedings in Berlin. The weakness of
the government which has renreded
such eXcesses possible is severely
criticised. II seems clear that the
plan followed by Liebknecht's sup
porters had been carefully prepared
If Berlin falls into the hands of the
extremists an effort will probably be
made TO capture the chief provincial
industrial centers.
The fight of the wealthy classes
from Berlin is at its height. An ex-
press train which reached Munich to-
dav was crowded with leading Berlin
citizens, Manv women left their
homes hurriedly, and carried only
their jewel boxes
The Independent Socialists con-
tinue fatuously trying to arrange
compromise between the government
and Or. Tiebknecht 1t is obvious
that Liebknecht's triumph or his
complete suppression are the only
possible solutions of the crisis"
