Sammy Jay opened his mouth 20

Peter sharply with those bright eyes
of his. Peter looked as ii he really
meant it. ''.rhe same to you, Peter"
said he. It had slipped out before

tended to tease Peter, but instead he
flew away to wish some one else
Peter started OUT from the dear

something. II wish you 4 Happy New
Year, Happy Jack" cried Peter and
scampered on.
Right away Happy Jack began TO
feel better. He stopped feeling out
of sorts. In no time at all he was
his usual happy self.
So Peter went about wishing hap
piness, and happiness seemed to just
follow along after him. Later in the
day Reddy Fox chased him into z
bramble tangle. No sooner was he
safely in that bramble tanglc than he
wished Reddy Fox a Happy New Year.
Reddy stared long and hard at Peter.
Then slowly a grin crept over his
face. Thanks, Peter" said he. "It
isn't often anybody wishes me happi-

So it was all day long. and when
night came Peter knew that this had
been his happiest New Year.

Count Leo Tolstoi Bekrs.

Toistoi was an extraordinary man,
a literary genius and a philosopher.
but he was also a man who could
love, and love ardently.
He was married to the daughter d
a childhood friend, Sonia Behr, when
he was thirty-four. They lived hap
PLY for about twenty years Then
an estrangement gradually took
place between them. and after thirty
five years had passed since their we'd
ding day, Tolstoi left his home TO
1--we the life that his instinct and
teaching demanded. Their parting
was not in anger and not In ag-
grteved sorrow. 1t was an inevitable
solution TO the problem Of divergent
views.
He returned to a life of solitude
and peasant labor. divesting himself
or titles, estates and even the COPY
rights on his books He died in
1910 from heart disease After his
death his wife published his letters
TO her to refute insinuations that she,
through lack of sympathy with her
nusband's creeds, had driven him
INTO exile and death.

Distorp of Dnur Same.

GREENE
VARIATION-Green.
RACIAL ORIGIN-EngIi5h.
SOUEC E-A locality.

There are several possible explana-
tions of the source of the family name
OF Greene, but all of them are rather
unsatisfactory, with the exception of
one.
1t is possible that In some instances
the name originated in a sobriquot Of
the same type as Robert the Red"
in judging the degree Of probability
Of this we have two significant facts
to guide US. Green Is not likely to be
the color Of mans complexion. Red,
white, black, brown, pink and even
yellow are all probabilities of de-
ously to the description of hair, beard
and complexion. But no green. Then
we have modern analogy. Nicknanes 8
of color are very common today III
rough-and-ready speech, and are
quite popular among schoolboys. We
have our "Reddies,',' "Blackfes,'' .
"Pinkeys," "Whiteys" and the like.
but who ever heard of a "Greeney"? 4?
The use of green" to denote gullibil-
ity is thoroughly modern usage, one
unknown to medieval England.
There is a better chance Of the
name sometimes having origina ted
from a mans custom of dressing in
green. but even this Is not so likely
as the source from which the name is
actually known to have sprung in lit
orally hundreds OF cases.
Today the word green" is often
used to denote a grassy stretch OF
ground. The English of the eleventh,
twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the
period in which a large proportion of
the family names were formed, used
ii that way also. Therefore, such
names as Robert Atte Green" or
Hobart A. Greene" "Atte Greene" or
de La Creme" of which the old rec
ords are full, would signify a person
who lived at or near such spot.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
a Had Gas.

My stomach contains so much gas
that sometimes 1 think 1 must have
gastritis.-B. 3.
Answer-According to the same
system, if you were to sigh very
frequently you would develop sciatica.
Gastritis means Inflammation of the
stomach. The. word Is derived from
the Latin word castro, which means
stomach. and has no reference to gas.
You shouldn't think you must have
this or that-it is bad for your health.
Consult physician. The chances are
that your trouble is nots attributable

Mr.. Sipe and his uncles in the
spring of 1857 left Montana to re-
turn to their home in Iowa. Leaving
Virginia City they crossed overland
to Helena, which the year before had
been made the capital instead of Vir-
GINA City. Arriving at Helena, the
man whom they had hired to take
them to Fort Benton was taken i'll
and they were compelled to take
the stage from that place to the old
fort. Fort Benton was nothing but
a fort and a trading point and the
freight came up the river by steam
boat. They went by steamboat from
Fort Benton to Omaha and from that
point they again took stage to their
homes.

Mr.. Sipe in speaking OF his exper-

There is living in Great Falls
pioneer, who more than hall a cen
fury ago came to Montana with the
famous Jim Bridger. His name Is
J.. w. Sipe and after an absence o.
So years he has returned to the
state which was the scene OF his
youthful exploits to spend his de-
clining years. In the spring of 1854
accompanied by his uncles, Sipe, who
was then but Is years of age, started
from Marion county, Iowa, to make
the long trek across the prairies TO
the gold diggings of Alder gulch.
They were under the leadership OF
Captain Jacobs, a famous wagon boss
of those days, and who had charge
of a train of about 100 wagons, ana
perhaps 300 plainsmen. They fol-
lowed the trail that had been blazed
by Jim Bridger and his 200 wagon
train about a month before.
After Jacobs and his train had
travelled for about three weeks a
portion of the band became disgust
ed with his continuous drunken
"brawls" and pulled out. MI. S1pe
and his uncles we're with this COM
pany and after a few weeks travel
they overlook Bridger and his men
who had started to blaze the trail
more than a month in advance OF
Jacobs. There was considerable
hard feeling and d~issension among
Bridger's men because he was not
getting them to Virginia City as soon
as they thought he should and final
Iy after several days of quarreling
they reached the Sinking Water, a
famous landmark in the early days,
located in the northwestern part OF
Wyoming, but which long since has
disappeared from off the map. At
this point, Bridger mounted his
horse and told them that he was
going on to Virginia City. About 100
wagons out of the 800 followed him
and on July 4, 1854, they reached
the Yellowstone river. Those who
we're too timid made a raft and
their goods across the
but those who were a little
forded it. Crossing the Yell
Iowstone they entered the Gallatin
through what is now known
Is Bridger canyon. Here they found

Col. Bridger and his men were
90 late for the thrilling experiences
encountered by some of the earlier
tampeders and so experienced no at
acks from the Indians. They saw
he Sioux Indians while on the Platte

Wyoming but both tribes were very
toward them. On July IL

he called on a little Irish girl, Mary
Murray. Miss Murray lived about
nine miles from Alder Gulch and
Sipe left early in the evening for her
home. He arrived there safely and
tied his horse behind a clump of
willows. When he went to get his
horse to return home it was gone. A
gang of moners had followed him
there and taken his horse away with
them. Sipe vas then compelled to
walk back, arriving at the camp early
the next morning. The horse which
he had ridden belonged to the but

CANADIANS PAY SILVER
DOLLARS FOR ROYALTY
AND AVOID DISCOUNT

If there are any yeggs, thugs or
bad men in Shelby, as alleged by the
COMMITTED" they will read this little
item with interest.
The two men who labored through
Shelby's busy streets with white
sacks upon their shoulders were car
rying silver-American silver dol
lars.
That was an event of the purchase
by a group of Canadians of $1,000
worth of royalties in Kevin-Sunburst
field. They paid for the American
royalties with American dollars.
The deal was consummated by
w. Keith Bell, well known Canadian
American broker. His Canadian
clients found that to pay a three PEI
cent discount on Canadian currency
would cost them $72. Accordingly
they gathered up $4,000 in American
money and sent $1,000 of it by ex-
press in two wooden bags. The re-
manning $1,40O was sent in Ameri-
can paper money in a third bag, by
registered parcel post.
The money came on the day on
which Mr.. Bells option on the roy
alties expired. He nervously passed
the street until A o'clock when the
train arrived from the north. He
learned of the express packages and
quickly determined that it vas sill
yer. He went to the First National
bank and an obliging banker went
with him and carried one of the bags.
The two weighed So pounds. The
registered package was secured by
Mr.. Bell while the banker sat down
to count the silver, and the deal was
consummated, n hour before the
option expired.

ing. After the meat had all beer
delivered he saddled the horse and
started in search of his own pony,
finding it behind a clump of willows
in front of another young 1ady's
home several miles beyond Miss Muir
rays.

Another joke played by these same
miners a few weeks later was on a
young man who, striking gold, had
gone to Salt Lake City and dolled up
in a new suit of clothes, shoes and
hat. He came back to the camp and
Immediately proceeded up the little
mountain path to call upon his young
lady friend. On the way to her home
he had to cross a creek on one of
those swinging bridges. The miners
followed him, sawed the bridge so
that when he was crossing on his
way back the bridge broke and he
fell into the water. His new suit was
christened but that young man had
learned his lesson and he never tried
to put on airs" in the Alder Gulch
mining camp again.

per day, $4,000 barrels per month, or $4,000
barrels per year, OF which amount Al per cent, or

over so large an area, Immediately entailed and

speedily developed to its maximum, its great re-
sources properly conserved and the interests OF its
stockholders fully protected.
Adverse financial conditions throughout the
country generally made it quite impossible to quick

to assume the tremendous financial outlay neces-
