July of 1890, when Butte. Bozeman and

not enough to put q team into the

member him in his later days as q
short stout, rugged man, taciturn,
tongue stlenced by the magic Of the
stiffness Of the mountains he explored.
He never married. If he had relatives
back in Missouri no one ever heard Of
them. He lived alone, yet perhaps never
suffered loneliness, for he had grown
to be a part of the solitude, to under
stand and love it. He died about 10
years ago, a poor man. Johnnie Curl,
his lifelong friend, paid the expenses
of his burial. It is said that years later
Curl, who inherited the old mans prop
erty from which Horne Miller himself
never eked more than bare Sustenance,
sold the claims for $4,000.

license plates. For the last ~ years,
Aiken has possessed the same num-

Through some strange manipuLa-

retained the same number, and this

For many years the plates were
distributed from the secretary of

county distribution became effective,
the same plate number went TO the

ANY mother knows the reason
Awhen her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constipation.
But what pity so few know the
sensible way to set things right
The ordinary laxatives, of even
ordinary strength, must be carefully
regulated as to dosage.
A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries: over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need.
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving Of their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment will succeed with
any child:dnd Nth any adult.
The doctors use liquid laxatives.
Hospitals! use the liquid form. If it
is best for their use, it is best for
home use. The liquid laxative most
families use is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Amy druggist has it.

molding lead bullets from his quartz,

HELD BEST FOR CRITICS

nRAMA critics and, in fact, all
critics, are most completely vested
with the faculty of appraisal when
born between August 81 and Septem-
ber 81, according to j. Ross Tyler,
New York astrologer, who is lectur-
ing this week at the Masonic Audi
torium. This is because they entered
upon mortal existence under the sign
Of Virgo, which concerns itself with
perceptive qualities and seems to have
a mild interest in newspaper men.
Mercury is the planet which takes
prominence in the horoscopes of such
eccentrics (sometimes less literately
referred to as "bums"), Tyler re-
vealed.
It is interesting, too. to note that
the artistry of Shirley Temple can be
traced to natal day included within
the second degree of Taurus, the
Bull, and that william Powell, Myrna
10y and Norma Shearer were born
under the sign Of Leo. which controls

Henry Van Dykes stirring story Of

In the years in which this drama
has come to be part Of Washington's

many well-known amateurs have
taken part in its presentation. and
this season it has what is perhaps its
best cast. There is Denis e. Connell,
playing for the sixth year as the
Median of Ecbatana. who planned to
follow the Star with his three COM
