separated the wheat from the chaff One salacious bit of innuendo is a thousand times more dangerous than a whole bushel of bluff vulgarfty. The refinement of vulgarity is harm ful; wholesome. indeed. is vulgarity itself.
 When Trinculo comes upon Caliban in "The Tempest" he Is made to say: What have we here? A man or fish? Dead or alive? A fish: he smells like fish; a very ancient and fish-lke smell" Later he calls him puppy headed monster" and "a most scurvy monster."f
 This is not drawing language, but 1t is not so inferior to it as the following speech of Caliban trans cends the lexicon of politeness: Be not afeard; the isle is full of
 noises.
 Sounds and sweet airs. that give de-
 light and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling in-

It is the kinship to the soil his earth earthiness, that makes him delight oc- casona1ly in coarseness, just as it is kinship to God that is revealed in his exalted moments Every man is Caliban, half monster, half spirit, ex- cept that perhaps in Caiiban the ex- tremes are more pronounced Calibap was a scurvy and villainous wretch. but as the governor says of Chaplin he was innocent and beautiful.

"The walking dolls being offered as prizes for subscriptions by The Age-Herald are beautiful" said Miss Ethel Peterman. and are most lite- like. While passing the window yes- terday where they are on display, 1 noticed small child paying a visit to the dolls at their window home.
 Although the dolls were as large as the child, the little visitor was apparently having the time of her life. She was hugging the different members of the family in her arms and kissing them and hated to put one down to pick up another. So much was the little guest enjoying herself that it was very hard for the mother to take her away.
 Not only are these dolls appealing to children. but they interest grown ups as well. and are attracting much attention in their window home"

PETITIONS POPULAR
WITH LOCAL VOTERS

The petitions asking that the matter
of a city-manager form of govern
ment be submitted to the voters of
Bozeman at a special election to be
held this spring are proving popular
with the voters of Bozeman and are
fast being signed up. So far no real
campaign to secure signatures has
been conducted; a number Of petitions
have been left with the different bust
ness houses and all signatures have
been voluntary. 1t will take some
thing like 500 signers to put the mat
ter up to vote and of these some
500 have voluntarily come forward.
When it is considered that few people
ever take the iniative in such matters
without having the matter brought
to their personal attention, the num-
Der of signatures already recorded
is rather remarkable. 1t is probable
that those interested in the matter
will take hold Of the petitions and
clean the matter up in the next week
or so.

CONSULT YOUR STUBS
BEFORE WRITING CHECK

A recent law passed by the legis-
lature is called to the attention Of
the public to avoid embarrassment for
those who have tendency to be care
less in money matters. House Bill
No. 81 provides that anyone issuing
check where there are not suffi-
cient funds to meet it is guilty Of mis-
demeanor if the check is for $50 or
less and is guilty Of a felony it the
check is for more than $50. This
bill is now a law of the state and will
be enforced, as it leaves no option to
those in charge Of money matters
People issuing checks should consult
the stubs of their check books and
if there are insufficient funds in the
bank no check should be issued. The
law will have one good effect at
least, it will force a more careful
banking system on those people who
in the past have been cereless in such
matters and often stand overdrawn a
their banks.

CLASSIFICATION
OF LAND STOPPED
Decision Of Supreme Court Ealts
Work in Land Classification in
GalIatin County

A decision of TIE Montana supreme |
court handed down Friday has for the
time being stopped the work on land
classification in Gallatin county and
from the information now available
will stop the work entirely. This
county has proceeded more rapidly
than many others in this form Of
work, the classification for Gallatin
being virtually completed, only some
Of the outlying mountain land be-
ing left unclassified. There is still
much work to be done in the, way Of
arranging the data at the court house
but on decision Of the supreme court
the work has entirely ceased.
The law providing for the classifi-
cation work was passed by the last
legislative assembly and provided that
the county commissioners were en-
powered to classify the land Of the
different counties for the purpose Of
assessment for taxation purposes.
To provide money for this work a
levy of one mill On real property was
authorized. In its decision, written by
Justice Reynolds, the supreme court
held that the law was unconstitution-
! al because in fundamental law it
provides that all taxes shall be levied
on real and personal property. In
this case the personal property was
cmmitted from mention in the and
from the one mill tax.
The county commissioners called
! County Attorney Bunker into con-
ference with them over the matter
and their future method of procRc-
dure. At the suggestion Of the ccEa-
missioners the county attorney eCsi.
ed up Attorney General Rankin In
the phone, but Mr.. Rankin as yet has
not looked into the matter, nor has he
been heard from up to date.
Locally, it is thought that this de-
cision Of the supreme court COM
pleteiy stops all future work on land
classification under the existing law
and work on the same has Leen
stopped. Gallatin county has made
two levies and collected in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 for this work.
There was no doubt as to the con-
stitutionality Of the law when this
assessment was made and no one con
siders the county officers liable fol
the money thus expended in good
faith. No further steps viii probably
be taken in the matter until the at
torney general is heard from.

Thieves IN BRATEN
STORE TAKE GOODS
NAN IS CAPTURED
Braten Store Robbed Friday Night
and Yesterday Goods are Recovered
in Possession of Mike Curley.
Claimed They were Sold to Him.

Following a rather brazen robbery
of the A A. Braten store about IL
o'clock Friday night the city police
got busy and yesterday Chief Robert
son and Jailer HOllingsworths succeeded
in recovering all the stolen goods and
capturing the man who had them in
his possession. The man gave his
name as Mike Curley and information
charging him with grand larceny will
be filed today by County Attorney
Bunker.
The robbery of the store would
perhaps have been far more serious
had it not been that the robber or
robbers were interrupted by George
Rosenquist, a clerk in the store, who
happened to go back there about IL
o'clock. As Mr.. Rosenquist entered
the front Of the store he heard the
robbers making a hasty exit through
the rear door. Though Mr.. Rosen-
gust switched on the lights at once
be was unable to get a view of the
escaping robbers. The thieves had

Due to their hasty exit the robbers

BOBCAT TEAM Wins
And LOSES ON TRIP
SSSSzaats School Of Mines in two Games
but Loses Brave to Utah
Aggies

The Bobcat basketball team return
ed from their invasion Of Butte and
Utah on Monday morning after win
ming two games and losing two. The
first game played after leaving Boze-
man was with the School of Mines
in Butte and the account Of the Bob
cat victory was published in last
weeks Courier. On Wednesday night
a second game was played in Butte
and again the Bobcats were the vic
tors, this time by a score Of 21 to
IT, The game was closer than the
one on the previous evening and was
very fast. Jorgenson again starred
Tor the coliese although the whole
team played good game.
From Butte the team went to Lo-
gan, Utah, to play the Utah Aggies
on Friday and Saturday nights. On
Friday night the Bobcat team was too
tired from the trip to do itself Justice
and lost by the score of So to "a. The
Utah men, on their own floor, had
all the luck of the game with them
and had no trouble is disposing Of
the inexperienced Montana team.
The Saturday nights game was
far more exciting. The Montana
boys, recovering from their trip, play
ed Utah to standstill during the
greater part Of the game. Familiarity
with their own floor played a large
part in Utah's success and while the
Montana team excelled in their pass
ing game they did not have the phe-
nomial luck at caging baskets that
marked the Utah play. The final
score was 35 to IA. In both games
Montana started out in the lead but
could not keep up this pace.
The following regulars mare the
trip: Jorgenson. McCarren, Hollister
Richards and Whitney. Garvin, Rob
ertson and Finch were the substitutes
taken along and all got into the
games. Coach Graves was the re
naming member of the party.
