Z AS we said last week, before Mr.
Goppert sued us for $4,000 for dana
cling his popularity we took only a
mild interest in him and his doings,
but since we have commenced to OBJ
serve him we are beginning to APP
preciate what an unusual person Park
County has for its County Attorney.
We have a growing conviction that
getting what's coming to him is one
of Mr.. Goppert's strong Characters
tics. We suspected something of the
sort when, in lieu of a fee, he removed
an important bathroom fixture from
the premises of a client, leaving only
the hole in the floor, and staggered
out with it in his arms to his jitney;
now, as further evidence that Mr..
Goppert's bump of responsiveness is
a large one, we learn that he is about
to collect .28c interest from the Coun-
ty on a bill he alleges is due him.
In the light of these incidents, we
are tempted to believe the statement
of a woman accquaintance-name
furnished upon application-that Mr..
Goppert, who has dwelt betimes upon
his regard for the ethics of his pro-
fession, wrote inquiring if he might
not get her divorce for her.
In response to a little peck at our
back door day last week we open
ed it to find a small, brown bearded
man in shiny blue clothes looking at
US through the screen. There was
something wistful and pathetic about
his brown eyes. Our first thought
was that he had come for a hand-out
and we had a flash of regret that we
had just finished the custard pie.
He came in with an apologize air
and we offered him a kitchen chair.
A good many flies had come in with
him and we fell to talking of flies.
He seemed interested in flies so we
told him all about flies-horse flies,
bolt flies, deer flies and no-see-ums;
In fact we did not realize ourself that
we knew so much about flies until we
got strung out on the subject.
We used very simple words in our
dissertation, talking down to him, as
it were, so that he should understand
US. When there was no more to be
said about flies and he still had not
mentioned a h%and-out, we asked if
there was anything in particular that
he wanted.
He fumbled in his pocket for a card
which read:
DR.. A. Levanzin, A. B., Phi. D., L. LIB.
British University Graduate, Har-
ward Medical School. College
Physicians and Surgeons, Boston
Mass. Late Dean California Col
lege of Drugless Physicians, San
Diego Dietology-P sychotherapy
The little man in the serge clothes
spoke eight languages and knew
everything there was to know about
scarabs and mummies; was a native of
the Island of Malta and brought over
to do special research work for the
Carnegie Institute. He thought while
he was in Cody, on his way to the
Park, he would like to learn some
thing of its history.
We could not give him all the facts
and the dates that he wanted but he
knew more about flies than before he
interviewed us.

There is a house worth going some
distance to see over there in the
Crandall Creek country. A two story
dwelling it is, with a shingled roof
rising among the pines and quaking
asp at the end of the Lodge Pole
trail on the way to Cooke City.
1t will stand for a century as a
monument to the ambition and pride
and industry of Robert L. Morton,
the mar who single-handed, hewed
and w~hip-sawed every stick of it from
the forest about him.
The hewed logs in the floor and
great beams in the ceiling n as
smooth and perfectly fitted as if ton
gued and groved by machinery; the
window and door frames are made of
quaking asp and might have come
from the best lumber yard in the
country; the shingles on the high roof
are all his own handiwork as is the
furniture, rocking chairs, straight
chairs and chests made from quaking
asp in his spare moments.
That a man, now ~ years of age,
single-handed and with the simplest
of tools could build such a home for
cause for wonder and marks him as
a man of Unusual character.

kindest of hearts and gentlest of

sake Of Righteousness? Nay. nay. AS
yet mankind is not as much en-
amoured of Righteousness as that
When humans make a virtue of a
thing it's usually because that thing
is necessary, or expedient, or con-
venient, or profitable. And that is
why they have made a virtue of
patience. Patience is the most con-
vincing thing on earth for the lazy,
stupid, spinelesS or cowardly man.
And most of US are quite a little lazy.

Could anything be more gratifying
than to do nothing and be praised for

meek and miserable martyrs in the
past who, If they'd had an ounce OF
gumption needn't have been martyrs

But ounces of gumption aren't easy
things to acquire. It's ever so much
easier to flop down and resign your
self to fate while some one hands you
a gilded halo.
And so, unless things change great

be one of our most respected indoor
sports
But If you. my friend, would live

Happy Jacks Summer Home.
Who builds on weak foundations lays
Up trouble for his future days.
, Mrs HapDy Jack.

Happy Jack Squirrel often has
two homes, one for winter and one
for summer. His winter home is in
a hollow in a tree. His summer home
is outside. This year it was in a
big beech tree. He and Mrs. Happy
Jack built it together. That tree was
the choice of Mrs. Happy Jack. Happy
Jack himself had chosen another
tree, but when he found that Mrs.
Happy Jack had set her mind on that
particular beech tree he wisely said
nothing more about his choice and
went to work to help her build the
new home.
I'VE must have a good solid foun-
dation," said Mrs. Happy Jack as she
brought a stout, dead stick and care
fully placed 1T in crotch In the
upper part of the tree.
Certainly" replied Happy Jack,
hurrying off to get another stick. He
was back with 1t in few minutes
and before he had finished placing
1t to his liking Mrs. Happy Jack ar
rived with another.
"A house Is only as good as It's
foundation" declared Mrs. Happy
Jack as she worked to Ak those
sticks exactly to suit her. This
isn't like our winter home inside a
tree. There we don't care how hard
the wind blows. But out here 1t is
different. We have got to make this
platform of stocks so solid that no
matter how hard the wind blows 1t
will not loosen
Happy Jack agreed and for a
while cheerfully brought sticks. But
by and by he grew tired. He wanted
to get to work on the walls of the
new house Don't you think, my
dear said he. that this platform
is quite good enough?"
Mrs. Happy Jack went all over 1t
very carefully. Then she shook her
head. NO" said she. "it isn't good
enough. 1t won't be good enough
until 1t is as good as we can make
it. To my way Of thinking, nothing
can be too good, especially In new
home. Now. don't be cross and don't
be lazy. but bring some more sticks.
Happy Jack sighed. Good enough
is good enough" said he stubborniy.
but he obediently went for more
sticks.
Mrs. Happy Jack hardly took time
to eat. She was 80 interested In the
building of that new house that she
could think of nothing else. At last
the platform of sticks, which was
the foun' alton, satisfied her. She
tested it very carefully in every way
that she could think Of
II think it will do" said he. And
tomorrow We will begin on the
walls"
So the next day she and Happy
Jack began cutting and bringing
twigs on which grew little bunchet
of leaves. These were for the walls
MY. how they did work! Mrs. Happy
Jack was as fussy about the placing
of these as she had been about the
foupdation platform. Each one had

corn. for its brim is cut in three
petal-like pieces that are folded up
against the crown and held in place
there. However, it differs from the
usual three-cornered model. for there
are no sharp points, and the petals
meet at the sides. so that there is a
smooth, off-the face effect at the
front. The feather trimming is
caught to the very top of the rounded
crown and the long dropping sprays
extend we'll over the shoulders.

They are doubly compound, a rare
form of leaf among forest trees. The
leaflets are ovate, pointed. smooth,
two to two and one-half inches long
A peculiarity is one or two pairs of
single leaflets near the base of the
main stalk.
The flowers, which open in May and
June. are greenish- in color, in
nodding clusters three to twelve in
ches long. They are followed by
broad. leathery pods, four to nine
inches long and dark brown in color.
The wood is soft. strong, coarse

fencing, general construction and
sometimes in cabinet making.
