Cardinal Ratti Elected To Succeed
Benedict AS Pope Of Catholic Church
HOLY FATHER TAKES NAME OF Plus XII AFTER FL ECTToN
THOUSANDS RECEIVE eBENEDICTTON BEFORE
ST PETERS FROM NEWLY ELECTED POPE

Rome, Feb. 6.-Cardinal Achille
Ratti, archbishop of Milan, was pro-
claimed elected pope in succession to
the late Benedict XIV this morning.
He has taken the name of Plus XI.
The thousands waiting in front of
st. Peters for the wisp of smoke
which would tell of the election of a
new pope or the failure Of the sacred
college to reach decision, gave a
mighty shout at 1888 o'clock when
a thin wisp of smoke came from the
chimney leading from the Sistine
chapel. 1t was then known that the
Catholic church had once more duly
elected pontiff.
AS soon as the votes for Cardinal
Ratti had been verified, Cardinal Van
nuteii, as dean of the sacred college,
arose and proceeded to the throne of
the cnosen one, accompanied on either
side by Cardinal Lodgue and Bisleti,
respectively deans of the cardinal
priests and the cardinal deacons. de

what name he chose to take, during
his pcntificate, and upon his reply
"Pius XI" Monsignor Sincere, secre-
tary of the conclave, verified his cleo
tion to the papal chair.
The new pope then was escorted to
the ante-room within the Sistine
chapel, where he discarded his car
dinars robes, assisted by the con-
clavists, and the papal vestments
which had been held in readiness since
the opening of the conclave, were
placed upon him. These included the
white cassock, white sash, white stock
ings, red slippers, and red and gold
mozetta, and finally the stole of red
worked with gold.
The pontiff, fully vested with the
papal garb and accompanied by his
cardinals, thereupon turned to the
throne he had occupied in the Sistine
chapel. There the cardinals, accord.

WEDDING At BUTTE
SURPRISE FRIENDS
Young Folks of BOzeman go Away
to Marry Without Letting
Friends Know.

A surprise was slipped to the many
friends of Earnest Rider and Alma
Nave, when these two went over to
Butte last week and were quietly
married. They returned to Bozeman
last Monday and have been receiving
congratulations from their host of
friends in the city.
Both young folks have grown UP in
Bozeman, the bride having formerly
resided at Three Forks. She is one
OF the popular young ladies of the
younger set of the city. The groom
is the son of W. E. Rider, who for
years has been in business here in
the city. He is a graduate of the
Montana State College and at present
employed by C. M. Long. The newly
weds will make their home with the
brides mother for the present.
Following is the story of the wed
ding as it appeared in the Butte

BUSY session FOR
JOINT committee
Water Codes of Montana Discussed
With Outline of Legislation
Needed for Improvement.

The Joint committee on county af-
fairs Of Gallatin county met last Fri
day at the Chamber of Commerce in
Bozeman. There was a good repre-
sentation from all parts Of the coun-
ty, the meeting proving very success
full.
Irrigation and the Montana code Of
water rights were discussed in talk
by Prof. H. E. Murdock, of the Mon
tana State College, who is secretary
Of the Montana Irrigation and Drain
age Institute. Professor Murdoch
told of the early filings on water
from the streams of the state for
n ning and for irrigation, showing
the method followed in making fill
ings. lie also gave q short resume
oi the Jaws controlling water filings,
pointing out the many inequalities
existing in them as well as the weak
ness of many Of the laws.
The great influx of new settlers
during the past years has brought
about considerable difficulty in the
determining of water rights in all
parts of the state. Many instances
were given by Professor Murdoch of
conflicting claims, uncertain titles,
besides the great confusion now ex-
listing through the uncertainty of
tie present water codes. The rene
dy, Professor Murdock stated, is the
passing of a new set of water codes
made simple and direct, so that con
fusion may be eliminated, and every
water user can know just what his
rights may be.
Secretary Maddox read letter
from the state highway commission

VAST WEALTH FROM SILVER


In the old Spanish days in Mexico,
millionaires were often made over
night in the rich silver-mining sections
around Guadalajuata. A shrewd pros
pector in the early days, named Fam
brano, discovered mine which
brought him immense wealth. He
spent most of his time in the cap
itals of Europe, living as extravaganza
ly as possible squandering vast sums
at the gaming table, but managing to
leave snug little fortune of $60,000,-
900. One of his whims was to lay a
silver pavement in front of his house,
but this the authorities forbade. In
those days silver was on parity with
gold.
The conde de Valenciana, who dis
covered one of the richest mines in
this section, derived so much wealth
from 1t that he is said to have gotten
rid of $100,000,000 in few years.
Another silver king sent the king of
Spain $2;000,000 as Christmas pres
ent, and asked to be allowed to build
galleries and portals of silver around
his mansion. This request was re-
fused the authorities declaring that
such magnificence was the privilege
Of royalty only.

APE EXPERT MONEY TESTER
Said to Be Impossible to Fool Animals
of Siam With Any Counter
Y felt Money.

The people of Siam are very fond
of keeping monkeys of various kinds
as pets. Owing to their close associ-
alton with human beings these crea-
lures become very intelligent.
One of the most remarkable things
that these monkeys can do is to test
money. In Siam there is large
amount of counterfeit money, perhaps
more than in any other country In the
world. AS a consequence, the lot Of
the merchant is a difficult one. They
have, however, surmounted the trou-
BILE to large extent by making use
of apes to test the coins. Sitting by
the side of each merchant Is to be
seen a solemn-faced ape. Every piece
of money handed to his master is at
once given to the ape. The animal
tests the coin with his teeth. If it
is good, he throws it into the money
box; if it be bad he filings it to the
ground.
The strange part about the bust
ness is that no white person has yet
been able to discover how the apes
tell the good money from the bad. The
merchants politely refuse to explain
how the creatures are trained to carry
out this useful office. The only sure
thing about the affair is that the apes
never make a mistake.

Story of the Hinh Heel

The high-heeled shoe was intro.
duced in the Middle ages, when both
men and women took to it.
Man, however, soon found that he
could not live mans life and do a
mans work while wearing high heels,
and so resumed his lOw-heeled shoes,
leaving high heels to the ladies, with
whom they have always been popu-
lar.
The modern high heel is, in It's way,
a triumph of art, being of wood, which
is lighter than leather and keeps its
shape. The heel contains spring,
which adds to the grace of its wear
er's walk. AS the instep is raised the
figure is thrown slightly forward, and
a pronounced elegance is the result.
But it most be admitted the high heels,
though improving the appearance do
not always improve the physique Of
their wearers. and are frequently
the cause of ill-health.

Where Long Necks Are Stylish.

In Burma, among the Karens, q
long neck is the ambition of every
woman. Her mother starts thinking
about this when her daughter is a
baby and starts to accomplish this
swan-like effect when the tots are
scarcely able to walk.
The method employed is a series
of heavy brass rings, which are as
thick as your little finger. These are
put around the child's neck, and as
she grows, more rings are added, thus
forcing her neck to lengthen out.
More rings are added year after year
as the girl grows into womanhood.
Twenty-one of these coils is the aver
age worn, although 25 have been
achieved.
The 21-ring-collared woman is
thought beautiful. but the 25-ringed
lady is considered a raving beauty
under the Karens of Burma.

BARON BELIEVED HIS YARNS

Baron Munchausen was the imagi.
nary author and hero of series of
wonderful tales entitled "The Adven-
lures of Baron Munchausen." They
were first pub ished in England in 1855
by Rudolph Erich Raspe, an expatri-
ated German, and were followed by
translations and limitations in German
and other languages.
The name of the hero is said to
be derived from Jerome Charles Fred
erick Won Munchausen, German Off
Ger in the service of Russia, who be-
came notorious for his ridiculous tales
OF adventure 1t is said that by dint
of repetition he came finally to believe
implicitly in the truth of his most ex-
travagant stories
The authorship of these tales is in
dispute although one authority says
"the author is Rudolph Erich Raspe,
and the sources from which the adven-
lures were compiled are Bebel's Face
tiae, Castiglione's 'Cortegiano,' Bilder-
mann's Utopia and some of the
baron's own stories"

RAISE BUGS TO FIGHT BUGS
French Scientists Breed Insects and
Birds That Are Enemies Of Fruit
Destroying Pests.

| There is a quaint institution in Men
tone, in the south of France, known
| as the Insectarium, where learned pro
fessors are rearing various species OF
bugs and other insects.
Mentone is in the center of an inn
portant fruit-growing district, and the
object Is to discover the best means of
fighting those insect pests that prey
upon plants and ruin the fruit,
The orchards have suffered severely
through the ravages of the mealy bug,
and the fruit growers were becoming
quite alarmed. Then experts discov-
cred that three other species of bug
are the natural enemies of the mealy.
So these are being bred and reared
and turned loose In the orchards as
allies of the fruit growers.
The institution is also breeding GER
tain species of ladybirds to destroy the
cochineal, an insect that plays havoc
with orange and lemon trees. These
ladybirds have been brought from far
Australia and California.
The institution is nothing less than
an up-to-date insect farm, consisting
of large private house and an acre
of ground In the laboratory are rows
upon rows of phials and jars, the
larvae of various insects which are
kept at high temperature. In the gar
den are cages full of all kinds of
and flying pests.
