would never again answer to his
name. The slim youth was a cub
reporter on the Independent. He
had seen such things rather often
before, but this affected him. He
had known the big man; had known
him we'll.
Some one had to do it, and why not
the reporter? It was not the first
time he had had a duty of that kind
to perform, nor was it, by any means,
to be the last. And so the slim young
man left the dingy back room OF the
saloon, left the silent figure of the
man who had killed himself, n
drove in a cab to the eastern out
skirts of the city. He stopped IN
front of a shabby house and, climb
ing a dozen steps to the front door
he knocked. There came in answer
a woman, rather poorly dressed, a
pretty woman, a baby in her arms.

But fer luggin' in the collar, he was allus there, you pet.
Pullin' through the Blackfeet lands,
Where the Blood and Piegan bands.
Begs Great Napa there for rain gns-pray to him with

And the north winds wave the bunchgrass IN the way

Sees him next among the miners; seemed at home around
Kicked a pack boss most to pieces-acted just as If

And them side kicks never counted none at all against

Climbin' up to Cripple Greek,
Where them Argonauters seek
For the golden fleeces buried in the shadder of Pixies

In the game Of chance where Fortune sometimes smiles
upon the weak.
All along the old day frontier, there he were right in

Though his ears was loppin' forward, hearts like hisn

Where the sand clouds spread like sails,
And the sun shows red at midday, firm up them scorchin'
Where the heat shoves up from under-stifin' heat that

Laid the route from Butte to Deadwood, clear on down

Bueked snow into Thunder MOuntain-stirrin pictures

OF his life along the freight trails leadin' down to

This old timer bears the stamp
OF a regular rovin' tramp,
Wand'rin' through this grand old West1and, sorter slow
and lazy scamp,
Still this pokey rascal always beat the mail trains into

Fifty years he's trailed the ranges-mountain, desert,

Now he's passin' to the legends-never see his likes

Wise and patient, full of cunnini-friends Of hisn likes

Raised to brag about his doinis. but out where the night

The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-02-01

Singing under the professional
name of Marie Montana, which she
adopted because her own name seem
ed a difficult one for the Italians,
Miss Ruth Waite of LewistOwn has
scored success after success in grand
opera at Milan, Italy, during the past
two months. The daughter of Jack
Waite, a mining man, renowned in
Butte in the old days as an athlete
and who once almost defeated John
L. Sullivan there, she anne to Lew
istown from Helena when a little
child on the death of her father there.
She worked there as a telephone OPP
orator, and had a very hard struggle
to secure a musical education. She
won some success in New York,
where she went for instruction, and
left more than a year ago for Paris,
where she studied, finally going to
Italy to perfect herself in the italian
roles. Her debut was such a success
that she has continued singing at
Milan ever since, but plans to return
to New York this year for a debut
in grand opera there. This native
daughter of Butte bids fair, from all
accounts, to bring fame to her native
state"

This item, from a recent number
of the Anaconda Standard, recalls a
story that illustrates what pluck and
talent will do when coupled together.
For Marie Montana won place and
fame through her own efforts; no
wealthy patron helped her on the
way to the top; no sympathetic kins-
man paid her bills, while she strug-
gled for an education. And now for
the story:
Once upon a time, many years ago,
in a dingy back room of a Main street
saloon in Helena, the form of a man
rested on a card table. The man,
powerful of frame, handsome, was
we'll known. He had been a deputy
United States marshal, a competent
and courageous officer. The green
cloth on which his head rested was
stained; in this mans hand was a
six-shooter, in his temple a bullet
hole. The mar was dead. In a mo-
ment of depression he had fired a
shot through his head.
Into that room at the back Of the
bar came a slim young man. He took
In the scene at a glance-the limp
