"FroIics" Put

Reg. Q. s. Pat. Of

Thrift Shop FrolicS," a gay
little magazine, will make its
initial appearance on the news
stands tomorrow. The magazine
will appear for the next six
months, proceeds to be divided
among the five member organiza-
tions of the Thrift Shop.
Mrs. John R. Williams, its pub
Usher, according to the table of
contents, had the original idea,
but left the business of getting it
out in the hands of a capable
editorial staff consisting of Mr..
Gordon E. Brown, editor; Miss
Emily C. Davis, secretary; Miss
Nancy Letter, business manager;
Miss Marguerite Hagner, adver-
Using manager; Miss Margot Gar.
rett, Blair Boles, Joshua Evans,
jr., and Mrs. Ormsby McCammon.
Among the contributors are Sir
Willmott Lewis, British journal
list: Miss Garrett, who has writ
ten a serial to run in the six
issues; Mrs. McCammon, who
makes her debut as poet; and
several others whose names are
or soon will be-well known in
the literary world.
For Sweet Charity
There are amusing cartoons,
Jokes, fiction and serious pieces.
And it is far from being an
amateurish publication.
A good angel is paying the
printers bill for this first issue,
and the staff announces that the
next number will feature an edi-
torial by Mrs. Evalyn Walsh NC
Lean, a Hollywood letter, a War
renton hunting yarn, and several
other interesting features.
In spite of a mad rush Of par
ties, debutante teas, balls and the
holidays coming on, the editorial
staff has been burning the mid
night oil in it's office in the base
ment of the Letter residence.
The amount of advertising sold
might well be envied by a more
seasoned magazine, all of which
is grand news for WaShington's
Thrift Shop, whose proceeds &C

the Children's Hospital, for con
valescent children out at the
Children's Country Home, to the
Child Welfare, to the junior

John Charles Thomas, who, OF
course, needs no introduction as
one of the finest baritones alive
today, will be the chief attraction
Of the performance. An unusually
truthful quotation at this particu,
lar time is, "a song recital by
John Charles Thomas shines like
a good deed in a naughty world"
Completing the program will be
the lively Hungarian contralto,
Enid Lzantho.
Georges EneSco, famed as con-
ductor, composer and violinist, will
present a joint recital with Felix
Almond, cellist, on Monday, Janu-
airy 4. Mr.. Enesco has been the
guest conductor and vio!iniSt of
most of the leading symphony
orcnestraS of the country.
Charles KulIman Will Sing
Another winner that Mrs. Town
send has picked is the youthful
Charles Kullman, a former student
at Yale. She tells rather an anus
ing story about this excellent
tenor. When he made his debut
at the Metropolitan Opera last
winter, many New Haven inhabit-
ants and Yale graduates came
down on three express trains to
wish him good luck. He made such
q sensation in his role, Faust,
that their college yells of enthu-
siasm made Manager Edward
johnson feel as though he were
attending a intercollegiate football
game.
Beautiful Hilda Burke, whose
soprano voice has color and fire
as we'll as beauty, will be another
who will delight the Morning Mu-
steal audience. All in all this prom
ises to be an extremely brilliant
season for music lovers.

But there was comedy as well as
booklet McCone related the story of his
adventures as a fur-trader. He was To-
Gated at a hunting camp of the Gros
Ventre Indians at the mouth of Thir-
teen-Mile creek, in 1881. There were 40
lodges in the camp and the chief was
a handsome brave named Hard Horn.
Hard Horns son had been selected by
government authorities for education
in a military. school at Hampton. Va.
The boy had been gone for a long
time and Hard Horn was very anxious,
for he had not heard from him. He
appealed to McCone to do something
for him so that he might know it his

letter to the president of the college,
requesting that he send word to Hard

could not understand why he did not

He set a deadline and when the letter
was not forthcoming he was so n
ragged that the entire eros Ventre camp
withdrew from McCone's vicinity and
refused to trade at his store. Finally,

profuSe apology and presented a buck
skin suit, beaded leggings, gun sheath
and other accoutrements to McCone.
These gifts are preserved and are on
display in the Glendive public library.
Dawson county was among the first
of Montana's counties. It was created
five years after the new Montana ter,
ritory was created. There were few
white people in the country at the
time, the only whites being a few SOL
diers and trappers. The first large num-
bers of white men came in for the buf-
falo hunts and for several years each
winter saw large crews OF robe hunters
Shipment down the Yellowstone on
river steamers. In summer these hunt
ers spent their time chopping wood
for sale to the river steamers. Among
the early robe hunters and wood chop
pers were Edward Marion and James
Seeds, who came to the area in 1876
and whose names are closely identi-

and George Harpster, who brought
their families. Their descendants are
residents of the county today. These
men helped erect the Dawson county
courthouse, which was built in 1883.

house buildings and is still in use.
Town Moves to Railroad
The route of the Northern Pacific had
much to do with the location of Glen

of Glendive in 1881. A little town had
been started on a high fiat above the

POWDER RIVER
LAST OF GREAT
LANDS
BY WALTER ED TAYLOR

Many have heard of Powder
river; not SO many have heard of
Powder River county.
Powder river gained its fame from
the famous cry, Powder river, let
'er buck!" It is known as a river
400 miles long, a mile wide, and an
inch Deep" Powder river, let 'er
buck!" was the battle cry of the
hard-boiled 91st division of the
A. e. F. Many members of the 91st
were from Montana. The saying
originated in the early days when
a strange c~owpuncher, upon being
asked If he could ride a certain
horse, said, I'm from Powder river,
let er buck" The phrase became
popular as a cry of derisi0n among
cowboys undertaking a dangerous
task.
Fewer have heard of Powder
River county because there are not
many people in the county to make
a ballyhOO. Br0adus, the county
seat, has only 800 souls. Past its
doors runs Powder river, which
water in the Big Horn mountains
Of Wyoming. It is the center of one
Of the last great cattle countries
Of the west. Many of the old-time
outfits which came in in the early
1880's still operate. Some Of the
pioneer ranchers still actively en-
gagged in that country are Charles
ScOfield Of Cross ranch; George
Pemberton Of the ia ranch, who
used to run as many as 10000 head;
Lee Wilson Of the N-Bar Sheep and
Cattle Co. Wilson was the first
white child born in the county.

After the Manner Of
Books and Umbrellas,
This Cane Came Back

Given up for lost for Is years, a val
liable gold-headed cane is again in the
firm grip Of Tom Pollard, Red Lodge
hotel owner.
Back in 1911 Pollard lent the cane
to an aviator named st. John, who had
hurt his leg in an accident. The aviator
promised to send it back, but after Q
few months, Pollard abandoned hone
OF ever seeing it again.
On a recent Sunday morning Joe
Meehan, operator at the Northern Pa
cific station at Red Lodge, was cleaning
out a closet at the depot. He found
What looked to be an old black wooden
cane, and noticed the handle was heavy
and embellished with some sort of en-
craving. Cleaning treatment brought
out the shiny gold handle bearing an
inscription which showed that in 1903
the Elks club Of Virginia City had given
the cane to T. F. Pollard in honor Of
his service as grand exalted ruler. Pol
lard once lived in Virginia City.
The stick, apparently. had been ex-
pressed back to Red Lodge by st. John,
had been lost unnoticed at the depok
for a quarter of a century.
