The theory of the Cinging Vine and the
Sturdy Oak makes lovely waltz record but
in practical application the Clinging Vine
had all the worst of it. Sir Percival Perkins
of Creampuff Hall rose to his feet when the
lovely Ailine swept into the room. But he
also planted his foot firmly upon the lovely
Ailine's neck when she tried to grab off
few rights for herself in the domestic and
social world.
All those decorative gestures for which
you pine, Speeches., belonged to the periods
in the worlds history when the relations be-
tween men and women were artificial and
most unfair. The gestures were cute but
the realities were horrible. If you want to

best don't point to a modern business man.

An article appearing in the Avant
Courier of March II, 1891, unoer the
head Our First Hotel" should prove
of more than ordinary interest TO
those of our old-timers who remem-
Der the discussion at the time, ana
for the setting at rest of the contro-
versy for purely historical purposes.
The paper ascertained that while
Stafford & Rice are given credit for
constructing the first stopping place
IN this city, the first hotel, worthy
of the name, was operated by Fra
zier & Bozeman.
The editor of the Avant Courier
at that time was w. W. Aloerson
to whose pure diction, journalistic
ethics, and understanding of the
place that journalism holds in the
economic sun must be crectte- tie

the father of Mrs. E. L. Huston, Sec
rotary of the Pioneers society Of
Gallatin county, one of the prominent
officers of the organizations which
so successfully conducted the thirty
first annual reunion of the parent
organization on Washington's birth
day.
The article, republished in full,
follows:

previous. Stafford & Rice built a
large story and a half log house on
the corner of Main and Bozeman
streets for a hotel and used it as
such for a few months.
Mrs. Davies Cooked First Meal
The inquiries of the Courier seem
TO have established the following:
Mrs. Davies cooked the first meal
n the city for which payment was
'xacted; Mrs. f. T. Fridley was the
,irst one to furnish meals 70 regu-
boarders; Stafford & Rice ran the
