81 married my first husband
at II. He was an old rOtter, and
got out of that as soon as posi-
BILE.
II then married a man of rs.
He was one of the reliable, faith
full type, upon whom woman
can always depend. But his very
goodness bored me, and l cheated
on him and the promises we
made when we were married.
"He had tried to go the pace
with me, in spite of the fact that
ne was of the hOme-lOving type.
1 went to dances, supper clubs,
wild drinking parties, and was
never contended unless l was on
the 20. Then l asked for a di-
vOrce, insisted on it, and he
granted my wish.
FINDS 1T FLAT
"Then suddenly all this run
ming around seemed flat, though
1 kept on the 60 more than when
l was married. MY mother said
1 found it flat because had no
one to irritate and make un-
happy.
"About a month ago 1 met my
ex.husband, the second one, who
had been so decent to me. We
walked a few blocks together,
and then we went to a quiet
restaurant to talk. He seemed
so different from the men 1 had
been running around with that
burst out crying. He asked,
Would y0U"like to come back to
me?' and 1 said, No, you're too
good for me-
Something has been left out
of my makeup, decency, normal
instincts, things the average
woman wants in the way of a
home; 1 could never have any
children.
my mother begS me to go
back to this good man, but /
know that, as soon as l am
settled in a home with him,
the impulse to torment him by
rushing off to wild parties will
be too strong for me, just as
nv freedOm-nOt having to
give an account to anyone for
what 1 dolores and makes
me lonely.
81 shall not always be "a,
and 1 know what happens to
women like me when they be-
come ugly and middle-aged. My
ex-husband says he is willing
to take a chance on our re-
marrying, but would tina be
fair to him? l have cried so
much trying to make up my
mind, that 1 have precious lit
tie beauty left.
"VAGABOND GIRL"
If you're not absolutely con
rinced that you can make a go Oh
remarriage with your exhusband
it would be utterly selfish to keer
him from some good woman
whose tastes are more in line witt
his own.
AS you say, you will not Away;
'2e "a. and nothing is more pitifu
han a woman of your type wher
he becomes middle-aged. plair
md lonesome. and there is no de
nand for her high spirits.
The aging party girl is more
eloquent of the folly of never be
;ng serious about anything, thar
thousand sermons.
It sounds prosy. but why don
you put yourself on probation? i
you can go straight for a year anc
still want to go back to your hus
and, why not make another try

GENERAL
STILL CONSIDERS
PECK TAX PROBLEMS

HELENA.-Attorney Genera
Raymond T. Maggie is giving much
consideration to the question Of
whether the state has a right tc
levy personal and some othe,
taxes in the government re.erva-
ton Of Fort Peck.
His office has been asked to
furnish an opinion upon the issue.
The attorney said there was a
very close question of law in
volved. In the legislative enact
ment cedeing Fort Peck to the
government certain reservations
to the state in the matter of juris-
diction were made, and it is con-
tended that these provisions give
the state limited Jurisdiction with
in the reservation for the dam and
authorize the collection of taxes.
WhAc the government prob
ably will not concern itself with
the question Of whether or not the
cession law conveyed rights and
powers to the government meet
ing the requirements imposed on
military construction, there seems
to be a determination on the part
Of some factors in Valley county
to force tho tax issue.
Taxes were collected by the
county Of Valley for 1885 be-
cause the government did not
take possession of the coded ter
until after assessments had
been made. This year it has pos
session and is in position to resist
collection.
Some thousands Of dollars, it is
understood, are at stake in the
matter.-Courier.
