SO they talked, and as they talked
they thought of their friends all over
the country. They thought of those
who had heard the stories they had
heard, who knew, too, the animals Of
the 700 and IF the farm, the birds Of
the air, the happenings in the land of
fairies and gnOmes and all the little
woodland creatures. They thought of
all the secrets they had really shared
together, of all the things they all
knew. And they hoped that their
friends would tell other friends about
them, too, for they liked to feel that
just as many as possible were going to
hear of them, and especially of the
stories that Daddy was always telling
about the animals and the many crea-
lures under the sun.

animals in the ZOO or when they We're
wild, stories of animals of the barn
yard, and just what kinds were their
favOriteS.
We'll, our friends wrote to us and
such wonderful letters as we did get !

A curious change of color with the
tide is noted in the beaches of Snails'
island in the Gulf of Mexico. The nat
ural golden color of the sands is re-
tanned as the tide rises; but with the
ebb of the tide. the beaches become
quite purple. a change that is due TO
the appearance Of great numbers of
tiny purple snails.

Circuit Judge Lynch that her husband
once had pointed a revolver at her and
threatened to kill her. The incident

"A ranch house is a terribly lonely
place to live in if one has been brought

A FOOLISH QUESTION

QUITE a number of our eastern
exchanges are discussing a
question propounded to them by a
Chilean writer who wants to know
the names of the twelve greatest
women produced by the United
States. The question is silly. 1t
would be equally silly if it ap-
piled to the greatest men produced
by the United States. W. don't
know their names. We might make
a guess at the dozen most noted
men or women, those most talked
of and best advertised for the work
they did and the things accomplish
ed in literature, science, states
manship, or the service of mankind.
Milton was a great maj in Eng
land, but the question is well asked
by another writer how many mute,
inglorious Millions have lived in the
world and left no sign behind?
How many Washingtons and Lin
coins have we had in the United

Blaze in Upper Saltwater
County First Serious
Conflagration.
Special to The Tribune.

Speclal TO Inc Tribune.
KaIispell. June 23.-Nith onn fire
reported on territory of the Northern
Montana Forestry ASSOCIATION. and four
reported by the national forest office.
the annual fight to ave Montana for
ests appears to have started with a
rush.
The Flathead national forest report
ed three fires, two of which are in re-
serve timber and one in a slash ad-
Jacent to the reserve.
One located on Lime creek in the
South Fork valley originated from
lightning and a crew of men under
Ranger Tbol is fighting it.
Another lightning fire was reported
in the Swan country and the local
ranger is looking after this.
The third fire is in the slashing of
the McCrae logging camp. and while
1t has not reached green timber. it is
being watched by Ranger Thompson
of the Echo station to prevent it's
spread.
In the Blackfeet forest a slashing
has broken out in the Fortine district
on what is known as the Dudley
slough. Late Wednesday this was still
out of control, although it is confined
to the cut-over area.
The first serious forest fire within
the boundaries of the association vas
reported Wednesday from the upper
saltwater country. According to Chief
Fire Warden Boorman, the fire started
from an unknown source sometime
Tuesday night and assumed serious
proportions Wednesday. Two build
ings of the Connors camp were de-
stroyed and the other buildings are
endangered. The fire is entirely on
c%ut-over land and a small crew of
men is trying TO prevent it from
spreading into the green timber. which
is less than one-half mile away. Ac-
cording TO Mr.. Boorman. little effort
will be made to extinguish the fire ss
long as it can be confined TO the slash
ing and kept from menaciug standing
timber. as the area under the state
law would have to be burned over in
any event. Connors camp Is on the
south fork of the Saltwater river.

BILLINGS OUTBREAK, MAY 10

Billings. June 23.-tBy The Associ-
ated Press.)-The outbreak of violence
in connection with the disturbed con-
dition of the Chinese societies here
came at noon on May IL last. when
Louis Quie, long a resident of the city.
was shot down in a principal street by
Wong Jan Yen.
A third Chinaman. who gave the
name Of Mong Pong. was alleged by the
police to have pointed out the victim
and told Wong Jan Yen to shoot.
Wong Jan Yen was captured soon
after the shooting and apparently was
frightened to the verge of collapse.
He was found to be wearing a breast
protector made of a sweater padded
with books and folds of heavy paper.
Though shot three times-through
the jaws. the lungs and in n leg,
Quie still lives, at a local hospital. and
is expected to recover. Wong Jan Yen
and Mons Pong have been released
from Jail on bonds of $500 each.
