' • Tirm EzetAkA EAcaz Clear the Track „ All roads lead to hursday and Friday. ' 6 0 The detective force of this grand old sheet, which comprises some local graduates of a well known correspondence school of detecting have been burning the midnight oil lately and folloveing every clue endeavoring to get a little inside dope on the speed recbrd of those two \speedsters\ Baalam and Israel by name. At the time of going to press the mystery was still unsolved and we had no encouragement to offer the easy money bunch. In looking over \Dopemups\ al- manac, between the lines of a testimonial on page 46 we found that Baalam was a favorite, but the \detects\ say there was a typographical error there as the word Baalam should have been \balsam\. - However, at the training station, the word goes round that it is liable to be, a tie race. Dr. Hedges has arranged with Prof. Brooks, the aeronaut, to give the bob -tailed, long eared, John mules a bombing start while away from the danger zone and you can safely rely on a close race. Take a tip from us and bet your kale on Israel as they say Baalam• has been on the firing line so long he can't hear a bomb, while Israel just can't stand the jar. - - Just News Here's hoping that you will all have a good time at the fair next week. The boys of Co. 2nd Mont- ana Regiment were transferred this week from Helena to North Carolina and went over the N.P. line on Wednesday. Taia'next Johnnie Johnson has moved his family to town from the ranch. and has rented the former Crosby house. Sheriff and Mrs. Geo. Boggs have moved into the residence being vacated by Dr. and Mrs. Geo. Baker and family. The Doctor expects a call most any day now to report for duty in the Medical Reserve Corps, and Mrs. Baker and children atter a short visit with relatives in the coun- try will go to Bowen, 111., for the winter to stay with Dr. Baker's :mother.

It is another of Roger van der Weyden's little masterpieces. A sin- gular coincidence about its sale is that the price waa $150,000, the same as that received by Sir Edgar Speyer, as announced, for the portrait lent by him to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The purchaser in the latest trans- action is Michael Dreicer. \Christ Appearing to Mary,\ is the subject of the picture. The virgin is seated in an ornamental doorway. Her face expresses poignant sorrow and pity as her son, arisen from the tomb, ap- pears before her. The valley of Gethsemane, with \a glimpse of his resurrection, is seen beyond a shad- owed courtyard. Scenes from the life of Christ are depicted sculptural- ly on the archway surrounding the principal figures. The picture was painted about 1450, when the painter went to Rome as the guest of the pope. It is known to have belonged to Queen. Isabella of Spain at the time when she pawned her jewels to equip Colum- bus for his voyage of discovery. JIMMIE BROUGHT UP PUSS1 Marooned on Rock, Boy Effected a Rescue That Was Both Novel and Brave. 'As Mayor AMOS Radcliffe of Pat- erson, N. J., was crossing the West street bridge he heard a shout from a group of youngsters. They had discovered a cat marooned on a rock just under the arch of the bridge. The mayor stopped and the boys dis- cussed methods of rescue. Twine and a peach basket were obtained. The basket was lowered to the rock, with shouted invitations for kitty to take the elevator. But kitty did not trust strange boys. A long pole was obtained, and the lads tried to force a rescue by pushing kitty into their life -net. They succeeded in pushing her in. to the rim. It was then that Jinunie came to the front. He got a rope and, tying it about his waist, ordered the other boys to lower him to the rock. While Jimznie was awinging helplasly in circles, with his head below his heels, the cat regained the rock. There was still hope. As the squirming Jimmie was lowered close to her, the cat leaped upward and landed on the seat of Jimmie's trousers, into which she sank her claws. The crowd yelled again and the boys on the bridge hauled in their line. Jimmie and kitty were landed safely on the bridge. EFFECT OF PASSPORT REGULA- TIONS. One of the effecta of the enforce- ment by the United States of more stringent passport regulations, is that there are no further extradition cases of Americans trom England. During many years before the war there were a aubstantial number of such c,ases, so many that dealing with them constituted an important division of the work of officials at the embassy. So well have the new regu- lations governing the issuing of passports served the cause of justice that duting the; current year there has not been a sin& case of an American criminal or suspect being arraigned at P;ow street police court for extraditio/a. Fp. BEYOND HER REACH. It was at a concert in the village' schoolhouse. The budding soprano before she began to sing apo)ogized for her cold. Then she started : \I'll hang my harp on a w illow tree-e-ahum—on a willow tree -6-e- 0—\ Her voice broke on the h.igh note each tirne. Then a voi ce came from the back of the hall: \Say Liz, you'd better hat tg it cin• a lower branch.\ CAN'T AVOID THEM. \Don't yOu find it hard thei le times to meet expensea ?\ \Hard ?
