restaurant to get some dry goods
to mix with the wet, and while III

THE FIRST THOUSAND

The government, the banks and
the business cmmunity, are urging
the people to save money and relieve
the existing stringency. But many
have made it their life long custom
to spend money as fast as they can
get it.
Some people look at economy as
stinginess. You can find plenty of
people who look with contempt on a
man who blacks his own boots or
wears plain clothing.
But people who have learned to
save money soon find that a posses
sion of a reserve gives more satisfac-
ton than is obtained by the things
they could buy with the same money.
1t gives them a sense of security, it
makes it possible to engage in bust
ness enterprises. They are lot tied
down to their weekly pay envelope if
there is q strong reason for some
business change.
The first thousand ONE the hard
est. Once a man accumulated that,
the regular dividend checks are a
constant incentive to keep on doub-
ling it.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS

Life is not all JOY and jazz for the
young crowd. Those in schools and
colleges have many hours of worry
over examinations. A boy who once
had to pass such an examination II
nounced that if he failed, he would
return by the railroad track instead
of by the street, as he dreaded the
curious questioning Of the n%eighbors.
Examinations are not an ideal way
of determining scholastic achieve
ment. Some excellent pupils get
clustered, and fail to do justice to
thmselves. But if so, this reveals a
weakness that they must overcome.
If they can't retain presence of mind
in an emergency, they will never be
able to think in moments of business
strain and pressure.
The pupil who has loafed away his
term, now discovers that he is up
against retribution. But the fellow
who has plugged while the others
played, finds that things are coming
his way.

Special to the Daily Tribune.

Cut Bank, Dec. 21.-Although Ralph
Burgess, who is now in the Conrad hos

the body, stated that he had shot him
self accidentally, the officials are not
satisfied with that explanation and are
holding Mrs. Burgess pending the out
come Of her husbands wound
Burgess is a Great Northern engineer,
working on switch engine in the Cut
Bank yards. Information of the shooting
was first given when Mrs. Burgess, Mon
day night, ran to the home Of Bert Ensor,
a neighbor, asking him to go to her
home. Entering, he found Burgess lying
on the floor in a pool of blood. Mrs.
Burgess also was bleeding from a flesh
wound on the left arm, evidently caused
by bullet
DR.. r. G. Nelson and Sheriff Madison
were called, and the latter found two 90
calibre revovers, one fifth four empty
shells and the other containing two empty
shells. There were five or six bullet
marks about the room, two passing
through the front door and one through
a stove pipe and into the ceiling Mrs
Burgess is said to have claimed one Of

the shooting remained quiet. Efforts
since to obtain a statement. from her
have been futile as she is being held by
