titling him to a handicap of
81 instead Of 80. Handicaps
for men are computed from
a scratch Of 1873; for women,

age is 70. rates lit free pins
and Tim, with an average Of
SO, comes in also with lit. This
is in duckpins. The tenpinners
have a division of their own,
with all handicaps, for men

The Star tournament is noted
throughout the bowling world
for its equal opportunity for
all classes Of pinshooters. its low
cost Of participation and its
long prize list.
In truth, it's "everybody's

Historical Sketches
FRONTIER cH1vALRY

PROVIDING FUEL for our home
was one of my daily chores. The
winter of 1886-'87 is recorded as
one of the severest in the annals of
Montana history. Snow depth in the
little mountain town forced the
pedestrian to confine himself to
snow lanes. The head and shoulders
were the only visible portions of
man of average height walking
through these passageways.
A few hundred yards from our
cabin an uprooted three of huge
dimensions supplied wood for our
house. The chi1dren's afternoon nap
hour gave me an opportunity to
work at my woodpile.
One day while laboring at the
old tree, 1 saw a man in a nearby
path quietly watching me WELD my
axe. Absorbed in my task / gave
him little thought until was star
tied by his presence at my side.
CHANGING up I recognized him as
the towns one-armed gambler.
Cautiously lifting his hat he
questioned, Mrs. Waymack, is it
necessary for you to supply the fuel
for your homer"
I replied, eyes, sir, it is. cannot
permit my children to suffer from
the cold"
It'll Attend TO It''
Touching his empty coat sleeve
he said, matter-of-factly. Il am

Dor but shall attend to this for you.

laundry. My days were fun and
usually my tallow candle burned
until midnight. What if was weary,
my hands wash wrinkled and NEE
dle-pricked? My youngsters were
warm and well fed and unknown to
Tom / had a few dollars hidden
away.
The spring of 1887 came and Tom
announced that he was going to
Marysville to work in the Drum
Lunmon mine He moved us back
into town. Promising to send for
us as soon as his finances permitted,
he departed.
TIE month of June came and was
nearly gone when received his
letter containing the necessary rail-
road fare. At once, prepared to
leave Thompson Falls.
I sold my flock of chickens to
Mrs. Mccormick whose home was
about three miles from town. For
some unknown reason she failed to
come for them. Arising at dawn on
the morning of my departure, left
Margaret and Jimmy asleep, locked
the door, and walked out to Nc
Cormicks.
My errand was quickly accom-
plished. Fastening back / was not
far from home when / saw a rider
galloping toward me- AS his lather-
ing horse halted, recognized the
man as John Herman.
Mrs. Waymack!"
Eyes, sir"
did you leave your children at
homer"
'T did, SIR
WELL" he hesitated an awful
moment. 81 am sorry to inform you
that your house has burned to the
ground"
I ran the rest of the way. The
tragic scene verified his words. A
fire of unknown origin had COM
pletely destroyed my home. There
among the gray ashes the tiny bones
of James Francis and Margaret Vir
ginia were uncovered. Everything
loved was gone. My only worldly
possessions were the clothes wore
namely, a sunbonnet, a calico dress
and pair of mocassins.
