tell me how much two added to three

from Octavia's mouth and three more, with
lust little bit of hitch in between. Or
he might ask how much was five and five,
and out'd come the whole set in patches
of five But soon as Octava'd spill EN-,
she'd grab 'em up again. Bout the only
time them marbles was out of her mouth
for long was grub time. All smooth and
white the whole ten was, from the chewin'
she'd give to 'em in the course of years"
How about when you wanted to make
her slrbtract?" Lafe Upshaw asked.
"weIl, you might think at first there
wasn't no difference from her addin' -, said
the man from Longeddy Say it was to
take three from five. you'd see the mar
bles begin to spill out, then down'd go her
snout and you'd see two marbles there on
the ground. If you watched clost you'd
see, though, that what she did was to spill
out five and then grab three up agin be-
fore you could wink. Pretty cute trick,
Cherry Ripe was, or Octavia. to stick to
her professional name"
Cute amt no name for it," said old man
Ketchum
after I'd got well acquainted with
Beriah," said the man from Longeddy. Il
urged him to breed Octavia and finally
persuaded him to mate her with a pedi-
greed boar they was up in Greene county.
Wasn't no use, as I see it, not to try to
perpetuate them vallyble traits, and that
fall she had ten fine pigs, which Beriah
sold at good prices. Well to make a long
story short"
Huh" said old man Ketchum.
>"Every spring and fall after that Oc-
tavia'd have a litter of ten, but none of
'em didn't seem to have their mothers
mathematical ability"
Guess the trouble was the owners none
of 'em didn't have no grabbin' ability"

"Holer Ground?" said Tunk Whalley.
Name of the big slabsided hog; back on
him like a rainbow in shape full o. saw
teeth and sharp's razor" said the man
from Longeddy. Hadn't been settled
more'n a week when he brucll out one
night, sawed right through the side of his
pen, got into a field of millet belonging to
Ermentrout Finch that was only just be-
ginnin' to head up, and next mornin' that
milet was sight to see-mowed slick S
a whistle from one end of the field to the
other and lyin' in pretty even swaths, too
what Holler Ground hadn't ct, that is
Erin raised Cain, o. course. and collected
fifty dollars damages, and Beriah never
forgive him. He allays said that pen had
been sawed by sompthing else than a
hawg's back. So that was the end of
Holler Ground"
''Well. I'm glad that's all. and it sounded
pretty heller to me-" said old man Ketchum.
Which brings me-" said the man from
Longeddy, ito what I was goin' to say

NlSSOULA WAITS FOR
PRESIDENT HARDING
Arrangements Completed in Anticipa-
ton of President Attending N.
E. A. Convention.

Washington, June 14.-Hotel reser-
vations have been made at Missoula,
Montana, for President Harding, who
is expected to address the National
Editorial Associations annual con-
vention to be held in Missoula July l9-
1921. Chairman Thomas Of the Mon
tana entertainment committee is go
ing ahead with all preparations for
the reception of the nations chief ex-
ecutive, on the assumption that Con-
gress will adjourn in time to enable
the President to carry out his program
of stopping off at Missoula while en-
route to Alaska.
If permission can be obtained from
the Department of the Interior, there
will be novelty added to the greeting
of President Harding by representa-
tives of all the Indian tribes in Mon
tana. Chief Two Guns White Calf of
the Glacier National Park Blackfeet
tribe wants to lead this delegation OF
tribal chiefs to Missoula with the idea
of giving the Great White Father a
genuine American reception.
That there is a strong desire on the
part of newspaper editors from every
state in the Union to meet the Pres
ident is expressed in the large num-
Der of reservations already made to
Join the special train which will leave
Chicago July 8, on it's way to Montana.
The itinerary, besides including stops
in the agricultural sections of Mon
tana and in twenty or more Montana
lows, calls for a two days tour of
Glacier and Yellowstone National
Parks and a trip up Flathead Lake on
the way from Missoula to Kalispell
and Glacier National Park.

NASHUA GIRL
= DIES AT

Mabel Doe, the little seven-year-old
daugter of Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert Doe,
who reside one-half mile north of
Nashua, died at the D~eaconess hos
pitay, Friday, June 8. About five
weeks ago the little girl was brought
to the hospital and operated on for
mastoids which resulted from an at
tack of scarlet fever. The operation
was successful but other complications
appeared and after many weeks of pa
tient suffering the little soul passed
out, meningitis being the immediate
cause of death.
Mabel Doe was born in Canada seven
year ago, but for some time past had
resided with her family on a ranch
near Nashua. She vas a dear, sweet
little girl, very much beloved by her
little frineds and playmates, and she
will be greatly missed by them as we'll
as in her own family circle.
Funeral services were held in the
Odd Fellows hall at this place, on
Monday afternoon, Elder D. Chase of
the church of Latter Day Saints hav-
ing charge of the service. Profuse
floral tributes were in evidence, the
gifts of loving friends. Elder Page
gave a fitting sermon and a quartet
of mixed voices sang appropriate Sc
lections.
Clara Jordan, Inez Chase, Stella
Jordan and Florence Olson, members
of the Sunday school class to which
the deceased belonged, acted as pail
bearers and interment was made in
Highland cemetery.
Little Mabel is survived by her IA
Their, mother, four sisters and two
brothers. The sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to these in their be-
reavement.
Among the Nashua attendants at
the funeral services were Mr.. and Mrs.
H. A. Sampson, Mrs. E. C. Asal, Mrs.
A. N. Currie, Mrs. James Grice and
Mrs. Alec Torkelson.

COMPLICATER FOR WHEELER

The announcement of Tom Stout
of Lewistown that he will be a candi-
date for the Democratic senatorial
nomination in the August primaries,
complexities the situation for B. X.
Wheeler of Butte, who, while he has
made no formal announcement of his
candidacy, has indicated that it is his
intention to do so shortly. 1t is ex-
pected that former Congressman John
M. Evans of Missoula will also enter
the race.
It is no secret that Mr.. Wheeler's de-
sire to run for the senate is distaste-
full to many leading Montana Demo-
Gratis. Only recently the Bozeman
Chronicle declared that Mr.. Wheeler
has a great opportunity to serve his
party by following the example of
Senator Henry L. Myers, who recent
" announced that he would not be a
candidate. A few days ago the Great
Falls Tribune remarked that he
SHOULD not ask for veal upon his re-
turn to his fathers house."
n The announcement of Mr.. Stout and
the prospect of Mr.. Evans entering
the race, indicates that Mr.. Wheeler
is in a fair way to be whipped-sawed
in the campaign. Stout, a former
member of congress, and a genial,
1ikeable gentleman, can be depended
upon to poll a heavy democratic vote
in northern, central and eastern Mon
tana. Mr.. Evans will do the same in
western Montana and even into the
Butte territory where Mr.. Wheeler
lives. Then let us not forget the can
didacy of James F. O'Connor of Liv-
ingston, who may be expected to cut
down the support of all other candi-
dates through a portion of southern
Montana.
It may be just a chance, but it
seems that Wheeler has been "pocket-
ed" to use the vernacular of the track.
Whether he possesses the vote getting
ability to make the grade under the
circumstances remains to be seen.
It is hardly probable that with Dem
ocrats like Evans and Stout on the
ticket, the Meyers faction of the par
ty which opposed Wheeler for COVER
nor two years ago, will come to his
aid in a contest for the senatorial
nomination. Without them he will be
limited to the support of the decimated
Nonpartisan league and such Demo-
Gratis as supported him in 1920. 1t
looks like hard shedding ahead for Mr..
Wheeler.-Billings Gazette.
