Rivals of Chester Binm
Gump Speeding East
ON 5000 Mile Trip
To Cornwall, England

Chester BIN Gump, speeding
westward-alone- visit his en-
enormously wealthy Uncle BIN in
Australia, has rivals for public at
tention in the 'Three Little Rich
ardses," who are speeding east
ward-also alone-from Missoula,
Montana, to Truro, Cornwall, Eng
land, to make their home with
their grandmother.
But there is a difference. AS the
readers of the comic sections have
noticed, Chester is spending money
like water on everything that pleases
him. On the other hand, when the
Three Little Richardses invoiced their
finances in Minneapolis recently as
they were passing that point of their
journey, they found they had $500
of the $50 pocket money with which
they were supplied upon leaving Mis-
soula.
With no MILLIONS back of them,
but something just as good-organ-
ization and co-operation-the Three
Little Richardses are having just as
happy a journey as the Australia
bound Chester.
William Richards, aged IL, does
the talking to the conductor. George,
Williams twin, is custodian of the
and steamship tickets. Grace,
aged 10, has charge of the cash fund.
Thus the three share equally in the
heavy responsibility of an unescort-
I'd pilgrimage of more than 5000
niles. The Three Little Richardses
sailed from Montreal on the Ansonia,
Iunard Liner.

INDIAN BOY is THE BEST
BOW AND ARROW SHOT
OF GREAT PARK TRIBE

Lone Star, bow and arrow boy
of the Glacier Park Indian tribe,
is one of the most accurate shots
of his nation, according to reports
from the Indian department. He
uses bow of sarvis wood with
which the late Chief Three Bears
shot big game in the Rocky noun
tains so years ago.
Lone Star is a fu1l-bloOd Black
foot and evidently inherited the
bow and arrow strain from his buff
falo hunting ancestors.
He can kill more rabbits with his
metal pointed arrows than great
many city boys could bag with an
open-bore 12-guage shotgun-for
money or marbles.

ELABORATE PLANS
FOR PIONEER MEET
AT BUTTE AUG. Is
ASSEMBLY DINNER WILL BE A
FEATURE; EXPECT A LARGE
ATTENDANCE

Elaborate preparations are un-
delegates and visiting members
who will attend the annual conven-
ton of the Socitey of Montana Pi-
Oneers and the Sons and Daughters
of Pioneers, to be held in Butte for
three days beginning August %.
Levi S. Wild, vice-president of the
society for Silver Bow county, under
whose supervision the convention will
be conducted, is working out the de-
tails. Tentative plans indicate that
this years gathering, although ex-
pected to be the lowest in point of
attendance, as the ranks of the senior
society are fast timing out, will sur
pass previous meetings in all phases
of a convention program.
Headquarters for the three day
conference will be at the Leggat ho-
tel. Business sessions will be held in
the guild house of the Episcopal
church while entertainment programs
will alternate between the Silver Bow
club and the Country Club.
AC lOdtuI . CfSuJ SCnOQulOO |.
Wild and Mrs. J. K. Hes1et, who is
assisting in the arrangements will be
the assembly dinner at the Silver Bow
club the evning of August 20. Spe-
cial entertainment features are being
lined up and an orchestra will be en-
gagged for the remainder of the even
ing when young and old will join in
a formal dance in the club rooms. The
convention will close at the Country
club August 80 with a luncheon.
Until reports are received from the !,
state secretary, Frank d. Brown of
Mr.. Wild states he cannot
announce the approximate number
who will attend the convention this
year.
The program in detail, as well as
all other information will be an

would elect to be halfway decent

Right then they were gathering in

we never thought of this until

After lunch we walked until

its story, with which we were al

which they depended for killing

freight train coming towards us
When it reached us, the wagon
master and Father had the usual
confab when strangers met on the
Plains; the one going West ask
ing about the road, etc. and the
other anxious to LEARN what was
going on in the East during the
month or so preceding the inter
view.
At length the wagon master in
quired, as he well might: Where
are you going?

Father.
The wagon master smiled the
peculiar smile reserved by the ini-
tiated for Pilgrims, or Tenderfeet"
as they were known in the Western
vernacular, while EN- r king

Dou you expect to get there to-
day."
"Of course. Why not? How
far is it," returned Father.
"Only about rs miles. You'll
have to walk right smart to get
there" drawled the wagon master
as he joined his train and left us.
