BAND OF WOLVES
DIFFERENTIATED BY
ANGRY RANCHERS

Miles City.-Surveyor H. K. Doane,
on his recent visit from the Purewater
brought back a story of a large band
of wolves, which had been killing live
stock of the ranches and farms along
that stream, until at last, the residents
in desperation, organized hunting par
ties and commenced a campaign of ex-
termination, which resulted in all but
two of the lobos being killed. The
wolves frequented the Purewater near
the Roy Glib ranch, and Mr.. Glib re-
ported the loss of go sheep in one
night, due to the depredations of the
animals.

Extravaganza is a prolific source
OF dishonesty. Extravaganza may
be defined as q foolish expense, or
expense disproportionate to ones
means.
Such extravaganza may be found
In all grades of society, but it is
chiefly apparent among the rich,
those aspiring to wealth, and those
wishing to be thought afiuent. In
other words, It is the overreaching
Of social ambition, Imagination and
competition. In order to make a
social demonstration the young man
spends, borrows, steals in order that
he may keep up appearances. When
the young man goes beyond his
legitimate income to purchase the
alter boxes, and finance automobile
parties, frequent golf links and other
places where the idle and Indifferent
c~Ongregate, he is both mentally and
morally dishonest.
Ine maj VINO tries 10 appear TO
be something which he is not is a
social thief. In order TO keep that
appearance before the public he has
10 actually steal. In fact, extrava-
gance, which is the expenditure Of
money unnecessarily. and the ex-
penditure of money beyond the
realms and boundaries OF legitimate
incomes, is but another word for
larceny; trying to steal public Opin-
ion and therefore stealing the money
of others in order to perpetuate the
show.
Some are ambitious Of fashionable
society, and will crafty their van
ity at any expense. The victim is
straitened for money; without it he
must abandon his rank; for fash
iOnable society remOrselessly rejects
all butterflies which have lost their
brilliant color. Therefore, the young
man who is extravagant and ambi-
tiOus must choose between honesty
and notifying exclusion, or gaiety
purchased by dishonesty.

History OF Loire Castles

The Valley of the Loire Is the gar
den and show place of rural France.
The natural beauty of the region long
attracted and held the admiration Of
visitors. There the kings and mobiles
OF medieval France erected their cas-
ties and palaces.
OF all the ancient castles none has
a more stirring and romantic past
than that OF the Castle Of Blois. 1.-THE
Pearl of the Loire" Frenchmen called
1t. To write the story of Blois would
be to write the history OF the French
kings and queens, for almost all of
them at some time or other during
their lives lived in this great castle.
81 1t was in the chapel at Blols that
Henri III Of France took the sacra-
ment with his friend, the Due de
Quise, to whom he swore an oath Of
eternal affection and friendship.
Never was there greater periidy.
Ten weeks later, after dispute with
the king over the ever troublesome
salt tax, the due was summoned be.
fore the king, Henri, in the the
meantime. had distributed daggers to
81 assassins. In the chapel two
monks prayed for the success OF the
kings scheme. When the due ppen-
ed the door to the kings chamber he
received IS dagger thfugts. Some
moments later the king entered the
chamber in which the murder had
taken place, idly pushed the head
aside with the toe of his boot, and
ordered that the body be burned and
the ashes strewn over the waters of
the Loire.
But In Paris that night when the
news Of the murder reached the city,
O hundred thousand men walked the
streets by the dim light of candles
that they bore aloft. The long, om-
nous professions were led by clergy,
who chanted the De Profundis. AT
given hour in the night, all stopped
at q signal. dropped their candles,
and in one voice cried aloud: "May
God extinguish in like manner the
race. OF valoisl"
This is but one blood stained mage
from the chronicles OF the castle of
Biois. Other pages can be found,
some with the rich stains of old wine
upon them. others covered with the
tear stains of the wretched captives
III the dungeons OF the castle. MANY
pages or this castles story are light
ed up by the red lips and dark allur-
ing eyes OF royal mistresses. And
many pages are wet wet with their
tears, too.
Not far from Blois is the castle Of
