Beating the weather MANI

The forecasting Of weather was be
ing discussed among some members Of
certain club. The younger members
Of the group spoke lightly of the lad
vantage" which old people had through
the possession of bodily ailments
which assisted them to predict at
mospheric changes. Eyes, you are very
funny" said the only old man present,
'but l can beat a lot of you on level
terms. / haven't a single physical all
ment-not even a barometrical bum
ion. But in my hall stand the two
chief things are a cherrywood stick
and an umbrella. Every morning,
when leaving home, put my hand on
the cherry stick. If it's dry | take it
with me. If it's cold and damp take
the umbrella. And have you ever seen
me caught in shower with stick In
my hand?" Nobody remembered.

suffering afterwards. l gradually

to lay off from my run. In this rum
down condition I contracted pneu-
monia in both lungs and came near
losing my life.
After this spell my stomach trou-

as baby. While sitting around read
ing the papers I was attracted by the
statements about Tanlac, which had
such sincere ring that was led to
believe the medicine might help me-
up the hill, and it pulled me clean up
to the top. My appetite never fails,
stomach misery is all gone, and I
have gained thirty-fve pounds in

'spick and span, too, so can make
my runs and still feel fine"

he drove III toward the deserted house
and parked the car among some trees
where it could not be seen from the
road
Leaving the car, Gramont took his
way toward the bank of the bayou and
followed this in the direction of the
adjoining property.
He went On to an opening In the
bushes which, over the low rail- fence,
gave him a clear view OF the Gumberts
property There he paused, quickly
drew back, and gained a point whence
he could see without danger of his
presence being discovered. He settled
into immobility and watched.
That Memphis Ivy himself had not
yet arrived, he was fairly certain.
Near the barn were drawn up two fiv-
vers, and sitting in chairs on the cot
tage veranda were three men who
must have come in these cars. Gra-
mont had come provided with binocu-
lars, and got these out. He was not
long in discovering that all three men
on the veranda were strangers to him.
They, no doubt, were men il the lot
terry game, waiting for Gumberts to
arrive. Gramont turned his attention
to the other buildings.
Both the barn and shop we're open,
and the buzzing thrum Of machinery
bore witness that the mechanics we're
hard at work upon the stolen cars.
Gramont thought of Ben Chacherre,
still tied and dashed to the chair In his
room, and wondered what was to be
found under the rear seat of Ben's
car. He could see the car from where
he lay.
Almost on his thought high-p0W-
cred and noiseless car came sweeping
down the road and he knew at once
that Memphis Ivy had arrived. DE
knew 1t intuitively, even before he OBJ
tanned a good glimpse of the broad,
heavy figure and the dominating fea-
lures. Memphis Izzy was far from
handsome, but he possessed character.

car, which he had driven himself, Gum
berts lifted his voice in bull-like
roar that carried clearly to Gramont.
where's Charlie the Googg
The mechanics appeared hurriedly.
One Of them, no other than Gramont's
friend of the adenoidal aspect, who
seemed to own the mellifluous title OF
Charlie the Goog, FASTENED to the side
of Gumberts, and the latter gave him
evident directions regarding some re-
pair to the car. Then, turning, Mem
phis Izzy strobe to the cottage. He
nodded greetings to the four men who
awaited him, took a bunch of keys
from his pocket and opened the cot
tage door. All five vanished within.
Gramont rose. A moment previous
1y, fever had thrilled him; the excite
ment Of the manhunt had held him
trembling. Now he was cool again,
his fingers touching the pistol in his
pocket, his eyes steady. He glanced
at his watch and nodded.
'It's timer he murmured. Lets
hope therell be no slipup! All ready,
Memphis Izzy. So am I. Let's goI''
Unhurried and openly, he advanced,
making his leisurely way toward the

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of ann
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

This May Be True.

The explanations of some Of the
terms used by bankers are amusing as
well as surprising. Take the use of
the word teller for cashier. In the
early days, when banks were still more
or less a curiosity, women used to drop
in and ask clerks unnecessary ques-
lions. The officials. feeling that their
duty was to attend to bank matters
rather than to inquisitive inquiries of
the fair sex, got into the habit of pass
ing the visitor on to neighbor, re-
marking as they did so, 'You tell her;
I'm busy"

Gramont continued his way, con-
scious that they were staring after
him. If there was. anything phony
about him, they evidently considered
that Memphis Ivy would take care Of
the matter very ably.
The steps of the cottage porch
creaked protestingly as Gramont as

recognized an unaccustomed footstep /;

warning to his crooks brain. In the
mans eyes Gramont read surge of
suspicion and knew that his bluff could
be worked no longer.
"Here's his note" he said, and
reached into his pocket.
Gumberts' hand flashed down, but
halted as Gramont's pistol covered
him.

SENDING OUR LOVE

a sweet-faced lady to the young friend
she was leaving at the station. We
hone the love was carried safely, and
the pleasant message given. Too often
these tender parting words are consid-
cred as mere matter of course. It

TIGERS YIELD MANY CHARMS
Natives Of Indo-china Make Many
Uses of the Lord Of the
-. Jungle"

The teeth and claws Of tiger are
used by the natives of Indo-C China as
good-luck charms, watch charms, or
necklaces. and the teeth are used to
cure dog bites. They are filed down,
and when the powder thus secured In
dissolved in water, il is an infallible
remedy, they believe. A remarkable
belief is that If one makes cigarette
holder out Of the canine tooth of q
tiger that has eaten a man, one can
see the image of the victim, its COM
pleteness depending upon the degree to
which the smoke has colored the tooth.
The natives carefully clean and mac
crate the nerves Of tiger In alcohol.
The resulting brew is an elixir of long
life. If one eat tigers liver or tigers
heart, ones courage In battle will know
no bounds. Among the Mois, after q
tiger has been cooked, its skull and
lower jaw are broken and the pieces
buried separately, to keep the lord of
the jungle's ghost from bringing dis
turbance and disaster upon the inhab-
itants Of the village. The whiskers,
the teeth, and the claws are very much
sought after. Ground into fine dust
and dissolved i'm water, the whiskers
make supposedly virulent poison.

ABOUT THIS CHRISTMAS EDITION

If there are any nice things to be said in favor of this regular
Christmas edition of The Bozeman Courier, we would much pre-
fer that they be said by our friends, rather than by ourselves. If
there is any special credit due, it should be accorded the progressive
merchants through whose hearty cooperation the paper is made
possible.
The aim of the publishers is to make this annual holiday num-
Der a publication of which the people of the Ganatin valley can
well be pardoned for entertaining a feeling of community pride.
For those merchants whose advertisements or greeting cards
appear in these pages, we do bespeak generous patronage on the
part of our large and constantly growing family of readers, for
they have shown in a practical Dollars and Sense manner that
they are heartily in favor of keeping alive the Christmas spirit,
without which the life of our little folk would, indeed, be drear
and lonely.
To one and all, and especially the kiddies-those little boys
and girls of today, who will be the men and women of tomorrow
The Courier extends hearty Christmas greetings and a sincere wish
that the coming year will bring a full measure of happiness and
prosperity.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION UNCALLED FOR

Transportation history during current year has been marked
by "unequalled performance of railroad service, according to the
Interstate Commerce Commission in its ennual report just pub
lished.
1t says, "The effect during the calendar year, 1923, of rate re.
auctions made in 1922 will be to lessen the total freight transpOr-
tation charges paid by the shipping public by more than $5OO,OOOs
O0O." No recommendations for new legislation are made in the
report. "a =
Contrast this report from an authoritative government body,
whose duty it is to protect the public and the railroads in it's sup
ervision and regulation of our transportation systems, with the
threatened antiraIroad legislation urged by certain members of
Congress having radical tendencies.
For a few months the railroads have been allowed to operate
their properties and try to get on their feet without being harassed
by politicians who never built or operated a mile of railroad. The
result is that there has scarcely been a murmur about car shortage
during the shipping season.
From January 1 to October L, the railroads purchased 134,636
new freight cars and 1868 new locomotives. Their total expendi-
ture of 3,1O3, 244,000 for 1923, which includes no direct expendi-
ture for labor, has gone to industries of this country and is one of
prime causes contributing to it's expansion and to steady employ
ment of labor. This accounts in a large measure for the unusual
lack of unemployment recorded at this time of year.
The Surest way to get reduced transportation rates if the same
are justified, is to refrain from crippling the railroads with more
uncaIed for legislation. Let them continue their policy of ex
pansion and let us wait until the Interstate Commerce Commission
suggests some reason for the passage of new railroad legislation
before we turn a friendly ear to the wild scheme of political fan
atics, who would think nothing or running a railroad if it gained
them a proper number of votes.
