 Mot an angel, only very human sort of an old maid" Miss Petunia corrected. "and I wanted to do some thing for the people who in other days did pleasant things for me when I needed them so much. I sent boxes to some little country girls that ] met at a funny little summer resort last year, and I also sent small box to poor sick woman who was there and to whom I became very much attached The person who did most for me in all my young life, outside of my family. was my school teacher who is still living down in the little Alabama town l came from, and 10 her each Christmas l send box. That's a debt of love that I try to cancel each Christmas. but I won't live enough Christmasses, I'm afraid, ever to do that entirely
 There's always somebody to go out on Christmas Eve" Miss Petunia continued, "and find the poor little waifs in the alleys and fill their stomachs with turkey and plum pud- ding. but there are few who remem- Der the friends O fother days that are down and out"
 "There's many debt that the most honest of us owes without ever can ceiling it." Annabelle observed.
 "Yes that's true.% said Miss Pe- tunia. "I think it's good thing to take an occasional day off and locate the people who would appreciate things that you would do for them. people who appreciate what yo would send them.''

Today will tell the story whether or not the drive goes lover the tope so far as the women's and mems com mittees working for the seal sale is concerned. Your opportunity to help stamp out consumption will be gone after today, unless you go to the schools to subscribe.
 The school children will carry on their seal campaign all next week, hoping to capture not only many pennies for the cause, but a silver cup being offered to the school whose students sell the most health giving seals.

MORE TRUTH

ADS AND THE MAN wants. ahont a month npn.

ADS AND THE MAN My wants. about month ago, Were relatively few; I did not care for style or show, Like certain parties do. Enough to wear, enough to eat, little money saved, A house upon a quiet street, Were all I thought I craved. Content l roaped the city when The Yuletide season neared, Unconscious of desires-and then The Christmas ads appeared. And now my peace of mind has fled i; I want a Restwell chair, A Hammock Spring Sleep-easy bed, A Zip electric flare, A KitPact Bag for Motor Trips, A Find-It letter file. A set of Grippy Clothing Clips That keep your pants in style, A Last Forever Limousine. A Chime-Tone parlor clock, An Ajax bottle-tip machine. A Guardwell cellar lock. Alas, an altered man am B
 My means are very small: A month ago I would not buy This kind of thing at all. But all these ads before my eyes Parade each day, until They fairly seem to hypnotize A weak and yielding will. And as my shopward way I wend, When my days work Is done. If but my coin holds out to spend. I'll get them, every one.
 PHENOMENON Despite prohibition. money seems to be tighter than ever.

was saying. He was telling them
that all their big warriors had been
killed and that they could not win
the fight. That the Crows were the
greatest fighters of all the Indians
and would fight on. They could not
win and he counselled that they give
up the fight. They had lost big

fled away leaving their wounded.

PAST SEVERAL SEASONS
Five Hundred Asked for Permits to

/. Killed THIS Fall.

Reduced prices for furs taken in
Montana have cut the industry near
~ In half In all lines and In all parts
Of the state. according to the data
available to ]. L. DeHart, state game
warden. DeHart has received fewer
applications for permits to catch fur
bearing animals this year than last.
Permits are sought for beaver and
marten pelts especially.
. So. far In 1920 the office has re-
ceived applications for 500 permits
to take beaver and last year there
were 1000. The law provides that
beaver may be trapped when they are
destroying -irrigating bitches. cutting
valuable timber or flooding irrigable
lands. Last year these hides brought
$40 for the prime quality but this
year prime hides are bringing from
SO to $12.
Many Beaver Killed
Applications have been received
from 200 persons to trap marten.
The good dark hides are quoted at
from $12 to SIS each.
In the last year many bear were
killed. especially In the western coun-

one of the oldest guides and trap
pers in the state, who lives in the
Flathead country, told DeHart that
he sold one prime bear hide for $3.50,
which went to the Lucky" Baldwin
ranch in California.
Otter Disappear
Otter have practically disappeared
In Montana, DeHart said. He ex-
planned that there is NO permit sys-
tenn to protect them and they have
disappeared from the main rivers of
the state. along which they were
plentiful few years ago and now are
to be found along the head waters
of small streams In inaccessible re-
gions.
No quotations have been available
this year for muskrat pelts. accord
ing TO DeHart. He said the demand
is fair and the animals are scarcer
than usual. Last year these pelts
brought - high ~ $3.50 each and
the muskrat skins sold in the London
fur market In 1919 brought in more
money than all OF the beaver hides
sold.
