The loft Of my grandfather's barn
was filled with bundles Of early
American magazines. and when my
supply Of dime dreadfuls ran low, in

about to die. If the bard addressed

No Friend in Need.

Pat Lambert and John Morrisey, both
from Ireland, but at present living in
New York City,, had never ridden in a
taxicab-that is. until recently--and
they have both sworn never again.
They went out to a little party where
some real Irish stuff was decanted, and
after the party broke up, stood on a
corner debating how they would reach
their homes. away down town. A friend
who had been at the party, solved the
question for them by hailing taxicab
telling the driver to go to 46th street
and Broadway, stating that he was GO
ing down in another taxi and would
join them there. The ride was fine,
and Pat and John enjoyed it so much
that they had the .chaffeur drive
through the park Later they parked at
the meeting place, but the friend
failed them.

they had not the wherewithal to satisfy

NINE FOREST FIRES
TOTAL FOR SEASON
Damage Done Very Small.-Ranoers
Are Prepared to Meet
Any Emergency

Missoula. nine forest fires,
covering only small areas, have been
reported thus far this year in the Dis
trict No. reserves.
Favorable weather has limited the
hazard largely to the Kootenai forest,
and rangers are reported fully
equipped to deal with, almost any
emergency.
Fires have appeared in four forests
thus far-Gallatin had two; Kootenai,
four; Cabinet, two and Pend d'Orielle
one. The total destruction has amount
ed to very little, reports to the district
office said. Rainfall In most of the
forests has served to retard danger
of fires, it was said.
Frequent showers on the Absaroka,
Beartooth, Custer, Madison and Ka-
niksu have for the present eliminated
any danger Of the flames, while the
Deer Lodge forest has had plenty Of
rain. There Ia no danger on the st.
Joe or Occur d'Alene, while on the
Clearwater no fires have been found,
though crews have been placed on pa
troll work at Oxford and Musselshell
and other forces are leaving this week
for Fish lake and Chamberlain.
