The book said you must first hold the egg
over a glass for FIVE minutes and concen-
trate on what you want to know. After
that you stick pin in the egg and let out
the white part and from the way this
settles in the glass you read the future.
What 1 wanted to know was:
"Wn Bull Reign win the Kentucky
Derby?"
Well, sir was concentrating on this
and holding the egg over the glass when
my girl friend came in the kitchen and
said
What in the world are you doing

This interruption threw me all of my

Il promised him a job.
Young Tom was jubiliant. He
was only Is, but he felt a man.
At last he could lift some Of
the burden from his father
STOPPING shoulders. He would
be able to buy Nom a pretty
dress. Take Marylin on a
dancing date. too.
OF course, he would only be
a factory hand. But he could

showed ability the company
might help him get a scholar
ship at some engineering COLI
lege.
At least he could rise TO a
Job as foreman and work his
way up TO the top as many
another self-made man had
done.
Nom would be tickled pink.
And dad
Toms steps Jagged a little.
For years his father had
toiled as bookkeeper for the
aviation plant. The company
was so huge, they never had
noticed his fathers conscien-
tiousness.
His father had grown pre-
maturely gray in the same
job at the same meager
salary. He was hard
worker, but the company al
ways promoted some one else.
Tom knew his father would
loathe having his son follow
in his drab footsteps.
HATED THE PHRASE
Not that his father would
argue against Toms taking
the Job. He would merely
vince a little. His face would
grow older and sadder and
grayer. He would make his
voice blank of all expression.
In his resigned, noncommittal
way, he would say:
'T1l let you make your
decision, SON."
Tom hated that phrase! All
his life his father had
thwarted his enthusiasm with
lukewarm neutrality.
There had been the time
when he wanted 10 buy an
expensive airplane kit and his
father had wanted him to buy
some stuffy and cheaper
book.
1t had been Toms own
money. too, money he had
earned running errands for
neighbors. He had been sure
he could win a prize in the
Boy Scouts competition with
his airplane. But his father
hated anything to do with
aviation.
ut IL up TO you, son." his
father had said noncommitslly
when Tom had chartered
eagerly about how he was
going 10 earn the kit.
HIS HOPES DASHED
Even as a little boy, Tom
sensed how hard his father
worked. He knew the model
sirplane kit was too expen-
sive for a poor youngster.
II had taken Tom a long.
laborious time 70 earn and
save up enough money Then
jubilanuy, he had persuaded
his father TO 60 to the depart
ment store and at least look
at the kit with him.
When the clerk brought II
out. Tom pointed out all the
marvellous possibilities. When
the moment came for a final
decision, little fUTrT tUUEru up
to his father for guidance.
His father was wearing the
void, blank look Tom knew so
well. So Tom drifted over to
the book counter and bought
the stuffy book his father

James d. Graham
Is Again Leader
Of State Labor

James D. Graham Of Helena will
again head the Montana Federation
of Labor for the next two years.
His reelection was announced at
the biennial federation convention
after a canvassing board had counted
ballots from members of local unions.
The vote is by mail, with the count
made at each convention.
Graham is serving his sixth term
as president.
John H. Driscoll of Butte was re-
elected vice president, and the follow
ing were chosen members Of the ex-
ecutive committee for two-year terms:
L. S. Rue. Billings; T. P. Taylor,
Bozeman; Reva Walterskirchen, Mis-
soula; George Yeager, Great Falls;
Perry S. Melton, Kalispell; P. j. Con-
nors, Butte, and George Dern, Ana
conda.
Gov Sam C. Ford's action in veto
ing a bill providing for organization
of a Montana home guard was com.
mended in a resolution adopted. Two
introduced by representa-
tives of the musicians union, asked
the state levy a tax on mechanical
music devices, and that transfer of
band funds to other uses be prohibited
by law.

tacle of life, action bubbling and

presence of the crowd was neither a
handicap nor a loSa It made no diff
ference whether they got in for a
dollar or for sixty. They filled the
gap. They supplied the complement
that was necessary to the picture

The incident occurred after the sec
ond preliminary and while the row
was on between Dougherty and the
promoters for his 5000 fee as ref
cree. The Great Falls Elk band was
playing on the east corner of the arena
at the time I heard the unmistakable
ratta-tat-tat Of what sounded like
pistol firing. To the eastern news
paper men around me it sounded no
doubt like Fourth of July firecrackers,
and so they paid no attention. I hIr-
ried up one Of the broad aisles and
the sight from the lip Of the bowl
shall never forget.
At least 10000 people, roaring and
pressing and gesticulating, had gath
cred In front Of the main entrance.
Inside were perhaps 200 men, special
deputies, federal guards and aids from
the fight headquarters At least sol
of them held guns in their hands, some
of them shooting In the air Between
them was the eight-foot barb wire
fence. From a hundred threats there
arose the cries, Come on, fellows, let's
gol" and as they pressed against the
fence 1t was apparently a question of
only few minutes until they would go
Suddenly from the crowd a fellow
wearing a buckaroo hat and holding
aloft an axe pushed into the fence.
With every stroke q strand Of wire
was severed and in what seemed to |
be only a second a flood poured
through.
A score of tragedies and comedies
were enacted in the short few min
utes it took to cover the ground be-
tween the fence and the long grad
tents to the edge Of the arena. One
or two win suffice.
A woman In khaki, one Of the hum

BIG LITTLE TOWN BECAME WELL

DUE TO PRIZE FIGHT

The following sideIights on the
Dempsey Gibbons fight In Shelby
were written by Y. r. KiIr0y, ia
nous Montana newspaper man
after the fight In 1928.
1t matters not who financed the
fight; nobody should care about gate
receipts, about terms Mr.. Dempsey
exacts for the privilege of disfigur-
ing Mr. Gibbons. Where else on this
round globe, outside of Montana, can
there be found a village which could
do what Shelby has done.
AS I said in my Shelby story, it
was impossible to cover many of the
most thrilling scenes in and around
the COW town under the circumstances
there presented. It wasn't so much
