SMITH BRANDED AS FAKER
AND QUACK BY WOMAN
Mrs. Shaver, Wife of Democratic
National Chairman Denounces
The Presidential Nominee.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife
of the man who nominated Governor
Smith, at Houston, in answer to Mrs.
Glen L. Shaver's attack on the Demo-
cratic nominee, said she believed Mrs.
Shaver had been 'misled" by a group
that considered the Volstead Law en-
forcement more important than
truth or fair play"
Mrs. Shaver, wife of the Democra-
tic national chairman, said in Wash
ington Friday that the Governor had
stamped himself as a charlatan and
a faker." She added that eve dry
Democratic women will not support
the dripping wet ticket and joke plat
form named by the Tammany dele
gates"
Will Not Support Wet Ticket
Mrs. Shaver, who is chairman of
the West Virginia Division of Ma
tional Woman's Democratic law en-
forcement league, asked chow many
times has Tammany supported the
party nominee in the past sixteen
years." and answered it by saying
mot once" She also took occasion
in her statement to take a sarcastic
filing at various Democratic leaders
who have announced they would sup
port the ticket and platform adopted
at Houston. Mrs. Shaver said in her
statement:
"Regardless of what Democratic
leaders from top to bottom may do
we dry Democratic women will not
support the dripping wet ticket and
the joke platform named by the Tam
many delegates to the recent conven-
ton at Houston.
"And furthermore, we do not be-
lieve more than few millions Of the
Democratic women in this country
can be fooled as all of the Democratic
leaders appear to have been fooled
by it. The idea of men like Josephus
Daniels, Dan Moody, Joe Robinson,
Carter Glass and Jed Adams saying,
4 am a Democrat shall support the
party nominee
Fooled Leaders,"
"How many times has Tammany
supported the party nominee in the
past sixteen year? Not once. Yet
they have fooled these heretofore able
Democratic leaders into saying: L am
a Democrat; I will vote for Tammany
whiskey and trick PLATFORM
eve say man who will shut his
eyes, like an ostrich to the things
which the Democratic party has al
ways stood for is 'booze-o-crat,' not a
Democrat.
Smith ''Faker and Quack"
'The Democratic nominee has al
ways said in his public utterances the
party should make the platform and a
candidate should stand on it. He has
always said that his one outstanding
issue is whiskey and booze-the re-
turn Of the legalized liquor traffic,
which means the return of the lie
ensed saloon. Every politician knows
it, and when the party adopted dry
platform, if the nominee had been
either honest or sincere in his public
utterances he could have done nothing
but decline the nomination.
HE did not, and therefore stamped
himself as charlatan and a faker
who is attempting to prove that Lin
coin was wrong and that you can fool
all of the people all of the time"
Mrs. Shaver wound up her state
ment by predicting more than one
political funeral would be celebrated
before cold weather arrives.

Ten Administrators Appointed.

At the last session of the Garrett
County Orphans Court, held on Tues
day of the present week, ten admin
istrators of various estates were ap-
pointed-the largest number to be
named by the court at any previous
session in the history of the county.
According to Register of Wills E.
E. Friend, the next largest number
of administrators named by the court
at one session was seven, and that oc-
surred a number of years ago.

FREAkISH Wills
COSTLY Things
Usually Mean Substantial Fees
for Lawyers

London, Nov. 20. (UP)-People
who make curious provisions in their
Wills, give a lot of trouble to their
beneficiaries, bat also give lot OF
money to lawyers, according to legal
circles here.
The discussion on eccentric Wills
arose over a clause in will creat-
ing a trust which was to continue
until twenty years after the death
of the last survivor of the llneal
descendants of Queen Victoria liv-
ing at the time of the testator's
death. The will recently was the
subject of litigation in the High
Court here.
Among other recent peculiar
wills was that of the Yorkshire
gardener who bequeathed one shil-
ling and a cracker bowl to his wife.
Anothe man left his wife five
shillings, approximately $1.25 to
buy rope with which to hang her
self. He left his son IS (about
500 with which to go to the
devil"
The type of will which has for
its object the discontinue OF the
testator's relations is often proved
in England, but in other countries
such legacies are illegal.
Brewery to Ministers
A testator in Toronto few
years ago put a number OF Meth
odist ministers into an extraordi-
nary dilemma. Staunch prohibit
tionists, they were rather embar-
raised by q large brewery concern
which was left them. The same
man also left to three important
opponents Of racing in Canada
shares in the Ontario Jockey Club.
the legatees being requested to
draw the dividends and exercise
the other privileges Of member
ship.
There Is a record Of a testator
writing his will on a door. another
on . petticoat.
A British sailor treated his wife
somewhat STABILITY when he re-
Quested his executors to pay her
one shilling to buy hazel nuts. "as
she has always preferred cracking
nuts to mending my socks"
Perhaps the worst Of this kind
Of provision was that Of a London
publican, who. in revenge, stipu-
lated that his wife, to get the prop
srty. must walk barefooted to the
market on each anniversary OF his
death and read a confession that
II her tongue had been shorter her
husbands life would have been
longer. This she refused to do and
received only an alternative be-
quest of 800.
While eccentric wills frequently
incense relatives, they are good for
the lawyers Often a large proper
ton of the estate goes in lawyers
fees.

Jackie Coogan Makes
Good on ENGLISH Stage

London. Nov. 20 R-The film
fame Of Jackie Coogan insured = big
audience before his first appearance
on the London stage last night, but
it had to be seen whether he would
make good to the satisfaction of his
English admirers. Judging from his
reception he did.
The Palladium theater was dense
ly crowded with an audience which
was thoroughly pleased with
Jackie's dialogue with his father
and his Rotations. He was given
numerous curtain calls.
Perhaps the audience really en-
joyed most the boys natural joy in
receiving on the stage gift OF an
electric train from the management
and hearing Jackie's impromptu
speech Of thanks.

WANDERING Spirits OF INDIAN WARRIORS
'wARDED OFF BY QUEER BURIAL CUSTOMS

while the early Egyptians had a very
elaborate cult OF the dead.
The scaffolds on which the dead of the
Crows and other tribes were placed, were
always built on a high, open hill. They
were then nearer to that dim and
shadowy region, the idea of which has
hunting ground" The scaffolds were
rather crudely erected of poles with the
platform some five or six feet above the
ground. 1t might be large enough for
only one body or 1T might accommodate
several.
The body was wrapped in blankets and
clothed in the usual costume with per-
haps some of the added finery of more
ceremonial occasions. They were often
surrounded with personal belongings and
trinkets or with articles which might be
of use to them in the spirit world. Some
of the tribes followed the custom of tying
the horse of a dead warrior near the
corpse to accompany its master to the
world beyond but this custom was not
followed by the Crows.
Some time after the coming of the
whites, the Indians began the practice
of placing the bodies among the branches
of the trees. Some of these treetop Gem
eteries may still be found while the scat
fold mausoleums have disappeared. In
some pine trees at the top of a ridge
about a mile from the Little Horn river
near Lodge Grass, there is such an aerial
graveyard in which some dozen skeletons
still repose on pole platforms which have
been placed where the branching of the

can we'll remember some of the things
that happened there. In February, 1865,
his family moved to Helena and in 1867
and 1868 Mr.. Brewster o ID in the races
staged on the first track built in Helena.
In the winter of 1874 he rode range
where Great Falls is now located while
employed with the Diamond r. freight
outfit, owned by the late E. @. Maclay
of Great Falls, Matt Carroll and c.. A..
Broadwater. This outfit owned eight big
freight outfits consisting of eight drivers
each, each driver in charge OF three
wagons inc between 8 and 10 teams.
They camped in the old Wilson bend just
south of the site of Great Falls and Mr..
Brewster spent much of his time driving
away antelope to keep them from eating
the grass away from the horses. The
freighters had no hay or grain and the
grass was badly needed for their stock
Often the herd of antelope numbered
1000 head. Buffalo were also plentiful
After the Judith Basin roundup Mr..
Brewster ran the big Musselshell roundup
which ranged between the Snowy noun
tains and the Yellowstone river. This
was the largest roundup in the state at
that time, 1887-88. There were 100, 900
head of cattle in the roundup and l25
men riding the range, which was 100
miles long and 60 miles wide.
For the last 10 years Mr.. Brewster has
been in charge of the government feed
barn and corral at Bolton.
