In the usual club there is a
sort of tacit agreement as to the
simplicity of this luncheon. 1t

On the other hand it may be
an elaborate affair Of several
courses. II the luncheon is simple
the choice Of food becomes even
more important.
Family Recipes
Serving food that is Just on
the market is one Of the clever
ways to bring praise from your
guests. Another is to feature
family recipes that have been
used in the family for genera
tions. Guests appreciate sharing
these traditions. Foreign dishes
are also possibilities.
II the hostess is also the cook
and maid, then the preparation
of the meal should be planned so
that there is little for her to do
in the kitchen at meal time.
Patty shells and meringueS can
be purchased at the bakery ready
to serve. Creamed chicken and
mushrooms in the patty shells,
Saratoga potatoes, and meringues
with a fresh strawberry sauce
poured over it describes deli
cious spring luncheon menu.
Hot breads may also be the
high light Of the menu. Corn
sticks baked as ears Of corn are

be his last. One shot did come from the
opposite bank and then the spit of
bullet in the water uncomfortably close
to his head, but that shot was followed
promptly by another from Fosters side.
The Indian gave them no more trouble.
From the sale of meat and hide they
realized enough to buy salt, sugar, flour
and coffee for their winter camp, which
was about 40 miles from Carroll.
For awhile their financial horizon
shone brightly. Wolves were thick on
the plains that winter, and after a
grave business discussion, the two boys
decided to specialize on wolves. At that
but their hides brought So apiece and
the hunters concocted a plan by which
they could kill many without the labor
or expense involved in tracking and
shooting deer. They killed a buffalo
bull and poured the contents of six
blood and flesh and left the carcass on
the plains. Out of one bait, John says,
they got so wolves.
Just as they seemed to be reaching
the peak of quick and easy money
things began to happen. During that
winter the wandering Sioux infested the
plains, proving decidedly unpleasant
some mood. They resented the intrusion
of whites on their hunting grounds
Most bitterly they resented the poi
soned buffalo traps which lured, not
only wolves, but many Indian dogs. So
serious did the situation grow that
during the winter the United States
marshal ordered all hunters and trap
pers into Carroll for safety. John and
Foster, however, were not quite ready
to admit defeat and abandon their
easy trail towards wealth. Instead they
fashioned their camp into a crude fort,
one resting while the other kept a
sharp lookout, and they took the fur
ther precaution of storing their prec-
ious supply of provisions in trees.
Indians Looted Camp
One day an angry band of 16 In
dams visited their camp, demanding
dinner. There was nothing to do but
cook a meal for the unwelcome guests.
While Foster fastened to gather wood
for the fire, John ran down. 70 the
turned they found the camp looted, the
Indians gone, and with them all the
flour and coffee. Now the young hunt
ers were up against a real problem.
Meat of course they could get in album

There they constructed raft made of
logs woven together with willow twigs
and, loading their kill, started for the
Missouri. Part way down they observed
q moving mass which proved to be
buffalo swimming ahead. And so, bur-
riedly running their raft ashore, they
took after the buffalo. But they re-
turned, unsuccessful and disheartened,
to find that the raft had loosened from
its moorings and was floating rapidly
down stream, bearing its cargo of deer

no unsurmountable difficulty had it
not CHANGED that just at that moment
an Indian was observed on the other
side OF the creek, apparently just as
DESTROYS of recovering the raft and
deer as were the boys. In fact, he was
so grin1ly in earnest that he stood on
the opposite bank, threatening gun held

fancy the idea of being bluffed by an
Indian. Still to swim out under fire
of that menacing gun was practically
suicide. They hesitated, debating the
matter; Each urged the other to go out
good reasons why he himself should
not go. Finally they decided the debate
by tossing a coin. Heads, Foster should
go; tails, Reynolds. It fell, tail up. And
so, while Foster stood on the bank, his

Indian, John Reynolds plunged into the

not so fortunate Either the man named
Marshall was unkind to her or else she
suffered the pangs Of homesickness.
Persistently she tried to escape, until
Marshall found it necessary to lock
her in his cabin during his absence.
One night John was awakened by a
soft, steady tapping at his cabin door.
Opening it he found Dried Apples there,
shivering with cold and nervous fright.
She had made her escape by crawling
through a window and now she was

CYCLISTS PRIMED
FOR HILL EVENT
ANNUAL MOTOR CLIMB WILL BE
HELD AT BILLINGS SITE
JUNE 6

Motors are being tuned, riders
are scanning entry lists and the
hill site is being whipped into shape
as Billings mOtorcyclists prepare
for what is declared the most COM
plete motor hill climbing show ever
planned by the Billings Motorcycle
club and the drum and bugle corps
of Billings lodge No. 1894 of Elks.
This years show, which will COM
bine features of both the annual spring
and fall hill programs held in previous
years by the two organizations, will
be staged as the first annual COM
bination event on Sum-, June 6, at the
clubs hill half a mile east of South
bridge across the Yellowstone river.
According to club officials, a larger
and faster program, more spectacular
and daring than any ever offered at
Billings, Is being planned for the 1887
edition of ll-climbing events.
In an effort to minimize risks for
participants, several ts;l safety measures Measure;
announced. One Of these includes the
widening of the ridge at the crown Of
the hill where the events are staged.
The hill, an 80 percent slope that
is one of the steepest now in use in
the country for motor climbs, has for
merly proved hazardous to riders sue
cessful in making the ascent. A narrow
ridge at the summit made it difficult
to bring machines to full stop on
top of the hill and many riders in
in abandoning their machines while
in motion after completing the climb.
In remedying this condition, club men,
bers have erected hackStop Of trees
and are leveling and widening the
crown of the hill.
