LAND HAS SUFFERED MUCH
Bessarabia, Always In the Pathway Of
Savage Invasion, Repeatedly
Overrun and Pillagcd.

Bessarabia, sloping southwark from
the westward foothills of the Car
pathians, between the Dniester and
Pruth, down to the Black sea and
Danube delta, lay in the normal
geographical pathway of tribes push
ing westward from Asia and south
ward from the warmer seacoast lands.
Among the most narrowing of the
invasions was that of the Mongos in
the fourteenth century, when that re-
gion suffered atrocities during which
women and children were used as tar
gets in bow-and-arrow contests, and
slivers of wood were driven under the
nails of the men, all this going on un-
til mo eye remained open to weep
for the dead"
Prior to the outbreak of the world
war, pastoral Bessarabia offered
pleasing contrast The Moldavian
homes offered delight to the tourists.
The interior of the Moldavian home
was immaculate and vivid, brightly
colored curtains and hangings being
used. The people are deeply religious,
and each orthodox home has it's altar.
The Bessarabian women are sprightly,
bright-eyed and pretty.

COLLAR FOR MATURE HORSES
Where Animals Weight Does Not Vary
During Year Leather Is
Most Suitable.

The best collar for the mature horse,
whose weight does not vary much
throughout the year, is the leather col
lar. But for most horses the best col
lar is one stuffed with hair and covered
with ticking.

Bryan Refuses To
Accept Nomination

William Jennings Bryan has reit-
Grated his refusal to accept the Pro-
hibition party nomination.
The first intimation of his nomina-
ton for the Presidency by the pro-
hibition convention at Lincoln, Neb.,
was received by him at l o'clock
Thursday evening at Madison Lake
upon his return from a forenoon of
fishing, when he read an Associated
Press dispatch giving the text of
the telegram sent to him by the con-
vention at Lincoln.
He was forty miles from any tele-
graph office at the time, but as soon
as he reached Norris, Mont, he
telegraphed reply declining the
nomination.
The text of the telegram is as fol-
lows:
"Please deliver the following mes
sage to the chairwoman of the Pro-
hibition national convention now in
session at Lincoln
"Having been away from the rail-
roads and telegraph facilities for
the past twenty-four hours, / have
not received your telegram notifying
me of the nomination rendered me
by the Prohibition party convention,
but reading copy Of it in the Boze
man Chronicle. hasten to reply.
81 profoundly appreciate the hon
or done me in rendering this nominal
ton and I fully share the conven-
TONS interest in prohibition as the
permanent policy of our country and
in the strict enforcement of the Vol
stead act without any weakening of
its provisions. also share the con-
vention's disappointment at the fail
ure of the Democratic and Republi-
can parties to pledge their candi-
dates to such policy, but / can not
in justice to the Prohibition party,
nor to myself accept the nomina-
ton.
any connection with other reforms
would make it impossible for me to
focus my attention upon the prohi-
bition question alone, and BESIDES, l
am not willing to sever my connec-
tons with the Democratic party,
which has so signally honored me in
years past.
81 have not decided yet how I
shall vote this fall, but whatever /
may feel il my duty to do in this
campaign | expect to continue as a
member of the Democratic party and
to serve my country through it,"

THE $6.95 SHIRT.

A visitor to another city came home the other day and told of the crowd she saw buzzing around a store coun- ter where they were selling silk shirts for $6.95. You would think. new sugar barrel had just got into the corner grocery, the way people tum- bIed over each other to secure this essential of modern life. After pay ing $10 and SIP, it no doubt seemed -dirt cheap. Yet in the stores here you could at any time buy perfectly good shirts for S2 to s3.
 The people have acquired some new standards that can not endure. If the men are going to insist on the $6.95 shirt and similar eHtravagances, they must expect all that goes with them It all means waste, insufficient saw ings, scarcity of capital, diversion oi labor to essentials. and insufhci- produedon of fnecessariesDfIfa

WEST END

Members of the supporting cast for ZaSu Pitts, star of Bright Skies," the Robertson-Cole five reel picture shown today at the West End theatre, claim that the little monkey who shares some of the most delicious comedy scenes with Miss Pitts, is "The Missing Link"
 They make the assertion because after weeks of association with him they have come to the conclusion that he is more human than many humans they know. Henry KolSer the director says, however, that the intelligence of the monk is not hard to understand when it is considered that for more than three hours daily he went through his 'tbusiness'' with Miss Pitts.

POLES. (Review)

The remarkable success of Dorothy Dalton in portraying three distinct characters is the outstanding feature of Black Is White,' the feature pic- ture which opened at Polls theatre Thursday. Miss Dalton Is Margar<t Brood, retiring, modest, wife of Jim Brood, whose jealousy for her love of even their son finally influences hex to leave him. Taking advantage of a later opportunity Margaret becomes the gay butterfly adopted daughter of g. French count. Her husband mgeets her but does not see in her his former wife. He falls in love with her and she is impelled to marry him again in order to be near their son. After much difficulty happiness comes to them There is good supporting cast.
 Charlie Chaplin again is seen on the Poli screen with Edna Purviance. With the aid of paste brush and bucket of white wash. Chaplin wrecks a beautiful house in the revised yer sion of Work one of his first mas terpieces. The only one who escapes the unerring aim of Charlie is Miss Purviance.. Among his bespattered victims she seands out clean, beauti- ful and unSullled.
 Thomas Saxotette, one of the triple features that adorn the Po1i program for the last half of the week, is out standing in musical rank. Six men who are able saxophone players, with one woman, who sings wei, introduce much that is new and move in instru- menta presen tation and afford a har- monious spot on the bill.
 Real dangerous balancing is done by Arnold and Florence, a man and a woman, who open the show. Hinkel and Mac follow with lot of chatter and some good songs. Sully and Thornton offer some corking humor in an act that reuires Italian charac- terization. The Patterson Tri4 of aerial acrobats close an interesting and diverse vaudeville performance.
 -Pathe News offers a wide variety of events here and abroad while the Re- view enters into the realm of travel science and education. Continuous performance today.

Anchorage, Alaska, May 22-As a result of the Mt. Katmai volcano eruption of 1912 hitherto barren land has been made fertile. The volcano showered the country, including Kodiak Island, with several inches of volcanic ash, which for a time threat ened all vegetation. Now the grass has grown through the ash and places that were barren are covered with luxuriant growth. The material cast forth by the volcano is said to be one of the finest fertilizers.

themselves on the very subject that forms part of the plot of this very successful play, Marriage and Di- vorce." In writing the play the au- thor evidently has in mind the masses for the play is filled with pathos, tears, and a bright vein of comedy. The play might be mentioned from an educational standpoint for it will no doubt show or put at rest the minds of great many girls contem- plating matrimony. It will proba- b1y show a great many married women the way to happiness. It will no doubt help a great many men to have more confidence in their better halves. It will show that a child in the house is a great doctor for broken hearts Therefore, it is a very beneficial play, as well as a play of mystery. The mysterious part cannot be explained and it will keep you guessing until the final drop of the curtain. It will no doubt prove a wonderful Broadway success and New York managers are sending out their representatives with a New York showing in view.
