upon him an Indian name of which
that, is the English equivalent, and two
words more to Harold Hoover of Butte,
head Of the legal department of the
A. c. M. Co., who attended the adop--
ton ceremony and who insists that
Ritch's Indian name is not complete;
but he is going to be known to a bunch
of his intimates from now on as "Gros
Ventres Johnny"
That was indicated when, following
his adoption into the eros VentreS
tribe he received a letter from n of
his pals, Joe Montgomery of Lewis

The original eros Ventres Johnny
was a white nan who was stolen from
his parents by the eros VentreS In

was reared among the Indians as one

and cowboys of the intervening coun-

If Gros Ventres Johnny ever knew
his own name, none of his friends re-

SEEM, however, that he learned it from
the Indians after he had grown up and
that his folks must have known of his
whereabouts, for at one time a good
many years ago, according to United
States Marshal Sid Willis, Gros Ventres
Johnny inherited some property down
around Bismarck, N. D., and walked
all the way there from his tepee among
the eros VentreS to claim it.
He never learned to read nor write
the English language, but vas fluent
in the eros VentreS tongue. He had a
bank account at one time. It is told of
him that one time in Great Falls when
he wanted to cash a check he had a
friend write it for him.
Asked if the check would be good,

Oh. no. What though I'm hale

Fit for dinner, dance or party,

~ friend suggests a new
set of rules to play the game
of love, look him over with
a wary eye. Ask yourself
if he is a superman who has
thought up a better way to
conduct this sex business, or
whether the rules favor him,
It has taken a good many
years of smart thinking on the
part Of people who went
through the trial and error busi-
ness. before they made the rules
OF convention that govern our
present society. It will take q
good many more years to think
up better ones.
You'll Lose, Not He
When a brilliant idea comes
to a young man Of how he can
beat the game with his own
rules, it is usually at the mo-
ment when he is at the peak
Of some emotion or other. In
other words his rules are apt
to be biased and are not work
able when he comes to his
senses.
His cards are all marked with
his own signature of his desire
SO they will give him every ad-
vantage. But how about you?
He may tell you he will take you
right along with him on his
buggy ride but when you come
to a ditch, you will be the one
to fall out, not he.

However, I have inherited a
very emotional quality which I

I have a girl friend and I know
I love her and she loves me. But
she won't agree with me on my

You have neglected your study
Of biology or you wouldn't be so

this desire for her own purpose.
It is true if we followed our

live in a civilized world. Your
ideas would work out If we were

can get away with such ideas
