Well, well. A fellow killed a «make
over at Melstone the other day. Mon
tana could boast of a good climate if
it wasn't so darn hot here in January.
Speaking of Montana climate, old
timers here verify the statement that
a baseball game was played here on
the eit« of the coart hawse and that
the players were harefotted. No
foolin'. Some climate! We repeat if
it didn't get so darn hot in January.
INNOCENCE ABROAD
The writer dropped Into the Elks
Club Room the other evening and was
impressed with the picture that pre
sented itself to view. Right here let
me say that they have a mighty fine,
cozy, homey, hospitable home down
there. Everybody around there seemed
to be everybody else's friend and
neighbor and brother and a spirit of
cordially and hospitality and friend-1
lineas and likeableness and loveable- !

Over in one corner sat two Elks
playing checkers. Near them another |
member of the antlered herd was j
reading a book (probably the "Lives!
of the Saints") which he had selected i
from their complete and well stocked i
library. Hard by were four other
noble survivors of the forest intently j
engaged in a game of Flinch or Aa- '
thors or something of the sort. An- !
other Wapiti sat over in the corner i

he will get you. What does he
leave in return? Some shoddy
