AS Seen from the Water-Wagon
Caroline Lockhart


We learn from a correspondent in
Kansas City that 'BiIl' Boron was
in great demand socially during his
recent visit, and as soon as he learned
to get off a street car without step
ping on his overcoat and to drink tea
without jabbing the spoon In his eye,
a stranger would not have known but
that Bill was born to the purple and
always had moved in the inner cir
cles.

1t is reported that Mayor Cox has
the adjustment of hip pockets under
consideration. If he decides to take
this step any one caught carving a
concealed pocket will be subject to a
fine or a Jail sentence.

A young lady living in Marion, Ohio,
who has read the story of The SIAM
pede Ball published by the Interna-
tional News Service, writes thai she
weighs 101 pounds, is 81 inches tall,
has brown hair and eyes. and is sure
that she would be able to ride a
bucking horse at the Cody Stampede
If she could have a couple OF weeks
practice. Which reminds us that we
shall soon have "a engage a secretary
to answer the letters coming in about
the July celebration.

A correspondent covering the Lam
pitt trial at Basin sent out the fol
lowing Information:
"Lampitt who was charged Nth
killing DR.. Joseph Ash was the vii
liam in a novel written by Mrs. Cath
crime Lockhardt. Harry Bruce. STAY
er of James Lee, was the original of
slim" in the same book"
Outside of the fact that Lampitt
was not the william of the novel, and
DR.. Ash's name was Sam not Joseph,
and the author is not Mrs. or Gather
me, and does not spell her name with
a I'd" and there is no such character
as slim in the story. and the name
of Bruce's victim was not Lee, the
paragraph is correct.

Russell Crane who has been spend
ing the winter in the East, writes pa
thetically hat he wishes he never
had left Timber Creek; that If he bad
stayed home, saved his money and
bought moonshine he would have
been much better off physically and
financially.

Here Is al advertisement from the
Meeteetsc N VS. which puzzles us:
"LOST-bctween Edgar Bennion's
and Rivers. Finder please notify MT.
Bennion."
Is Editor Smith lost between Ben
MONS and Riyer's? II he is. we hope
Mr.. Bennion will soon return him to
his office for the Meeteetse News is
one paper we should be sorry to see
without it's editor.
1t has been suggested that after
this year.. when the Park County Fair
Association will receive title to the
ground from the Lincoln Land Com
pany, Powell and Cody work together
in their celebrations. 1t is clear that
the interest in agriculture in this To-
cality is not great enough to make a
successful Fair possible. while Powell,
on the other hand. has not Stampede
material.
So. If Powell would help the STAN
pede, and Cody. in return, would do
away with her Fair and help Powell
with hers, it seems as IL such an
agreement would be to the advantage
of both towns.
Madame Shumann-Heink made nc
secret of the fact during her stay in
Billings hat she is opposed to prohi-
bition.
II don't like It. do your" she asked
of the reporters assembled to :nter-
view her.
There was no response from the
reporters who remembered in time
that they represented bone-dry pa
pers.
But Madame was persistent.
Now. tell the truth. do you believe
in itg"
Cornered in this fashion. they mum
bled that they didn't but 1t was noted
that there was no mention of the
stars attitude on this burning ques-
ton in their stories. the only thing
she said which was omitted.
