Veteran Negro Reservist Is
Ready to Serve Country Again

In 1886, so widespread was Bivins'
fame with firearms that Col. W. F.
buffalo BID Cody tried to sign him
to a contract with the wild west show
Cody headed. It was the coloneps plan
TO have Bivins stage matches with
Annie Oakley, the shows feminine
crack shot. But at that time. Bivins
was in line for promotion to the rank
of ordnance sergeant and decided TO
remain In the army. He became COM
missioned officer-one Of the compare
lively few negroes to achieve this rank
during the World war.
Whether Bivins will be recalled to
the colors was not decided, but to be
on the safe side, the reserve captain
wrote General Davis, asking permis-
sion to serve under him. Davis was TO
be placed in command of the Ninth
and 10th cavalry-the oldest outfits in
which they served in the Philippines

defense while o. 3. O'Bannon, United

Judge William J. G aIbraith
sensed the tension in the crowd
which filled his Deer Lodge court
room in the late summer Of 1883.
He felt the tremOr which runs
through a crowd tighten and grow

sentence he would pass at this

So. Judge Galbraith looked down on

men went to prison and the public was
satisfied that the newly installed

This robbery, the last major one
recorded in Montana, has had many
stories told about it. However, I am
going to let Pierce KOoken tell his
story in his own way. 1t Is, believe,

'DONot Think
Marriage Is
Love 1dyl
Most Women Find
1t Difficult and
Long Chore
BY DOROTHY DIX.

To a young girl marriage is
romantic adventure. To only too
many wives 1t is a chore. Both are
wrong. Marriage is a career. The
young girl who believes that her
marriage is going to be a prolonged
petting party is bound to be dis
appointed, because life isn't like
that. 1t isn't a love idyl. 1t is a
hard, prosaic struggle for food and
clothes and rent, and husbands drop
their Prince Charming role at the
altar and become just plain, ordinary
men. with tempers and ways that
get on their wives nerves and make
them wonder why they were ever
simps enough to have believed all
of the Fairy Book propaganda about
the holy estate. The wife who re-
CARDS her marriage as nothing but q
life sentence at hard labor is equally
disappointed. because that wasn't
what she married for. She expected
after marriage to sit on a silk
cushion and not even have to sew
up seam. but to feed upon straw
berries, sugar and cream. She ex-
pected her husband always to be
prosperous and to shower her with
pearls and mink coats; her children
to be angelic little creatures with
golden curls who would never soil
their immaculate white dresses. or
make any noise, or be any trouble
And when her vision of domestic
bliss did not materialize the way it
was ordered; when she found out
that marriage was full of hard work
and pinching economies, and chill
dren who shrieked and yelled and
got into mischief. then came the
tears and breast beatings. She
simply couldn't take it.
1t is only the women who see
marriage as a career who make a
60 Of it and get any real happiness
out Of it. To them marriage is not
lllC SHY VI d
or the penalty a woman pays in
bargain in which she was gvped It
is the life work which they chose
and into which they put their hearts
and their backs and their hands.
They work just as hard at being
wives and mothers and housekeepers
as they would at being lawyers.
doctors. milliners or beauty shop
operators. And because they are on
their tiptoes all the time striving to
make a success. and because they
are filled with enthusiasm and in
terest in what they are doing, they
not only do achieve success. but are
happy and full of pep themselves
The discontented. fretful. peevish
wives who complain that marriage
is failure and that husbands never
appreciate what their wives do for
them and who rush from divorce to
divorce are invariably the women
who have been too lazy and trifng
to work at making their marriages
successful.
1t is a pity that We do not teach
girls that marriage isn't a graft.
that it is career at which they
will fail or succeed according to
the amount of intelligence and labor
they put into it. For happy mar
riaces are not made in Heaven. They
are the handiwork of women who
have made an avocation as well as
vocation OF marriage.
