SNAPSHOTS AT CELEBRITIES General Mario Menocal, New President of Cuba. General Mario Menocal, who was re- cently elected president of the republic of Cuba, is a product of American ed- ucation, lie spent eight years in the United States and was graduated from Cornell at the age of twenty-four as an engineer. Consequently he speaks English perfectly and has a thorough understanding of American ideals and business methods. When the war with Spain broke out he enlisted as a lieu- tenant and was appointed to the staff of General Goinez. Later hea with General Garcia and advanced in rank until he became a brigadier general. After the war closed he served as chief of police of Havana for a time and then became malinger of the Cha- perm Sugar company. an American corporation. In this position be proved his ability as ah organizer and execu- tive. lie was called upon to manage an undeveloped estate of 165,030 acres and had to create a town, build a rail- road, make a harbor, handle thousands of men and make out of a wilderness a busy town. All this he did to the com- plete satisfaction of his employers. General Menocal is a member of one of the oldest and most aristocratic families of Cuba and represents the young and progressive element of the Island republic. At the previous presi- dential election he was an unsuccems- ful candidate against Jose Niigata! Go- mez, whom lie has now defeated. Gen- eral Menocal is but 'orty years of age. How the Pilgrims Feasted. When the harvest had been gathered Governor Bradford made preparations for a rejoicing. Four men were sent out to hunt wild game, and they ob- tained enough in one day's hunt to serve 300 persons for three days. In the meantime the largest kitchen in the colony was that at Dame Brewster's house, and it was under the guidance of Priscilla NiullIns. who later became the wife of John Alden, that the good housewives prepared the viands for the feast. A message was dispatched to Massasoit bidding him and his men to the celebration. On the appointed Thursday he and ninety of his warriors arrived, and after a religious service they, together with the colonists, In- dulged in athletic sports under the di- rection of Miles Standish. On the third day the real feast took place. Every- thing had yielded a bountiful supply for this first Thanksgiving, so that when the pioneers sat down to the meal they beheld a table heavily laden with water fowl, wild turkey and ven- ison, corn and barley, and they gave thanks. Riming. This game is never old, and for rainy days there Is nothing like it. There are many topics that can be jingled into funny times if the rimers have ingenuity. The fun consists in the head person starting the first line. The person next must give the riming line before a given number of seconds have passed. Usually one minute is the allotted time. Then, If he Is not ready, any one in the company may call It out and change places. In this way a number of clever rimes may be forthcoming, and the game may be kept tip till the Ingenuity of the players is exhausted Halloween Suggestions. Corn—red, white and yellow—makes a splendid decoration. You can thrust the ears into the meshes of fish nets which you drape on the walls. If you live In the country (or if you knve a barn, no matter where you live). do hold your Halloween party there. It is half the fun! Next to the barn, choose a good, big attic. Next to that a roomy kitchen and the dining room. Pale green (Tape paper Is nice to drape the refreshment table with. Don't fall to provide plenty of pop - torn, with poppers and a fire to do the pupping over. GEYSER JUDITH BASIN ' If when things get a little quite, and!

There is only one man who has Hit right to shoot animals in Central park— New York city, lie is Arthur Hassler and It Is his duty to protect the sheep swans, squirrels and other privileged pets from homeless dogs and cats that infest the city parks. And that is not all of his trouble. either. for he ims to give his attention occasionally to the water rats along the lake and the hawks that sometimes fly over from Jersey. Hassler roams all through the park looking for animals that are like ly to do mischief. and he has with hi iii a 22 caliber repeating rifle. tie is an unerring shot with this, too, as he has hunted game in ail parts of the world. Although it seems a trifle erne! to shoot the animals down In that manlier. It really is necessary. OS the tame ones In the park would stand lit tie chance If they were not given that protection. A mi perhaps the lit t le boys and girls who play there would be In sonic danger also, as some of the dogs and cats become so wild after a short taste of freedom that they might cause all kinds of trouble if some- thing were not done about It.

[he newly appointed postmaster is well known businessman of that city. J. J. Hill, the railroad magnet has shown his faith in Montana, as he has signified by purchasing $100,000 worth of Trenton county road and bridge bonds. This is only one way in which Hill has shown his faith in many parts of this state. Another new county is to be created, to which Fergus will appropriate a slice, and it is evident that Judith and Harlowtown will scrap as to which shall have the county seat. Montana is noted for its doing things fast and it keeps one busy studying and keeping up with the geographical layout of the state. A new county has been created in Montana. Last week the county of Big Horn was created from the south- ern portions of Rosebud and Yellow- stone counties. Hardin, the on'y corporated town in the district was made county seat. Only one set of officers were in the field for election. Postmaster General Hitchcock has been called upon for many rulings since the parcels post came into vogue. One man writes if he can have a baby sent by mail and what the charges will be. Bugs and bees may be sent thru the mails, but the postmaster does not know just in what class to place the baby. He has taken the matter under advisement. Buffalo, Montana, Review is stir- ing tip some excitement telling of a couple of curious looking r nimals which are wandering around in that vicinity. Thedescription of the larger one would tend to drive people from that vicinity, for the Review says: \One long horn protrudes from the center of its head, and the end of this horn is covered with a generous quan- titv of green hair. - Yes, we used to take a little tea before breakfast, but never let it get a hold of us like that.
