It was observed that he g7i.sped the rope with his le!r. hand :17• ,-- • teat his right arm was dangling tr,- ,- -3: - .ssly at his side. He had a strong face. Those who can read faces had but to look at ids rugged features to like him. Cour- age peered forth from his gray -blue eyes, and if the wrinkles around the corners carried hints of pain and suf- fering, the square, determined Jaw and the whole set of his counten- ance showed how unflinchingly he had faced them. Here is a man, ran one's thoughts as he studied the Canadian lieuten- ant, who has looked death in the face and laughed. Whatever buffets fate has dealt him he has taken without a whimper. He's a good man \in the pinch.\ \Ladees and gentlemen,\ clarion- ed the announcer, \I take pleasure In introducing one not long back from 'over there.' one of the best of the old heavyweights—Jack Mun- roe.\ His Face Tells the Tale Jack Munroe's face does not lie. His whole history is written there • and it is a good one. His battles in the ring and out of it, or rather the essentials they called into play, cour- age, self-reliance, fprtitnde, steadi- ness of purpose, determination, have stamped themselves indelibly on his features. He has lived life to the full, played the game for all it is worth, but ever fair, honestly and bravely, and has eglergA all the better for it. \Jack Munroe, the old heavy- weight,\ were the words of the an- nouncer, who chose to remember Jack for what he was rather than what he is. If he had elected he might have said: \Lieut. John Munroe, former may- or of Elk City, wealthy mine owner, president of one large Canadian cor- poration and director in Se era others, well-known clubman and poli- tician. On his majesty's first call for volunteers, Munroe, although well above the usual army age, sac- rificed all of his many business in- terests, dropped everything and en- listed in the Princess Patricia's Cana- dian light infantry. He was with the Princess Pats in all of the bloody en- gagement. 'over there.' lie is one of the 134 officers and men of the fam- ous regiment, that were left after the Canadians stopped the Huns at Ypres. On account of the loss of the use of his right arm and other wounds, Lieutenant Munroe was in- valided home. Ile has insisted on remaining in service; and is work- ing day and night recruiting and helping the allies 'carry on.' Lieu- tenant Munroe's only wish is that his wounds heal quick enough for him to get back over there and get one more whack at the Hun. Can't Go Back It does not look very much as if Munroe soon would get back. His useless right arm practicall; incapa- citates him for active military ser- vice. It is doubtful if he ever regains even the partial use of it. In his brave, determined way, Jack has mastered the misfortune and already has taught himself to write and do Other things with his left hand.' He insists that he is as good as most two -armed men and is chafing to get into active service. It he goes, \Bobby Burns,\' his inseparable companion, will accom- pany him. \Bobby Burns\ Is a Scotch collie and the official mascot of the Princess Pats.

Much of the time in those days, Jack spent pros- pecting for copper in the wilds of Utah. Whenever he was in need of a - stake\ he worked in the mines in IMtte and played football. Jack mopped up the gridiron with so many opponents that they entered Lim in the Pacific coast amateur bo \nig championships. He whipped all in the heavyweight class and bcv.doe amateur champion. Shortly afterward Jim Jef fries came to Butte with his deli to stop all corners inside of four minds. Munroe not only stayed four rounds with the great Jeffries, but koorkod the world's title holder to his knees. The unknown miner's feat ot . knock- ing the champion off his feet was Munroe's open sesame to the pro- fessional prize ring. For two ye;irs JackMayed the game of fisticuffs, knocking out Peter.

They rushed to the railroad station in time to catch the daily train for Ot- tawa. There it was fitting they should enlist in the famous Princess Pats along with men of their own red blood, fellows with the bark on— Shawanaga, lumberjacks, Temigami trappers, miners, ranchers and others from the frontiers of civilization. Less than a score of the 1,200 Prin- cess Pats were without actual war experience. Munroe became a mem- ber and Bobby Burfks the official mascot of Canada's first expedition- ary forces.

A few shacks on the banks of the Missouri river in Gullatin county, dignified by the 'name of Gallatin City, stand as a sort of monument to a curious sort of an error made more than half a century ago which made old Gallatin City a good deal of a joke to the pioneers of the ter- ritory. It appears from records of the time that, in 1863, Gallatin City was laid out by certain enterprising Mis- sourians, who expected it make it the head of navigation on the Mis- souri river, forgetting, or, more prob- ably, not knowing, that there was a slight obstruction below in the shape of tremendous falls. One report has it that one of the founders was ex- tremely bitter against Fort Penton because he claimed to have been cheated in a fur trade with the fur company there. He decided that the best way to get revenge was to estab- lish a head of navigation higher up the river and BO rob old Benton of its glory. After receiving a few les- sons in geography, most of the Mis- sourians abandoned the location. Gallatin City, however, has one historic tradition of a more perman- ent sort. The first district court held in Gallatin county was held in old Major Campbell's house at Gal- latin City in July, 1867. Owing to the fierce hordes of mosquitoes that were attending court, it was found necessary to build a large smudge of pine boughs, and while this succeed- ed in dispersing the mosquitoes, it also almost dispersed the judge, jury, counsel and others who were in at- tendance. Judge tiosmer, who was presiding at the session, observed that justice never had appeared_ so obscure as it did through the clouds, of smoke from the smudge. Canadian regiment is familiar to every one. Particularly fresh in one's mind is the regiment's blood- iest and fiercest battle, that heroic stand at Ypres, where the Canadians smashed the first great German drive and drove the Hun back from the channel ports. \They sent wave after wave at us,\ says Munroe of Ypres. \Company after company, battalion after batta- lion, regiment aftdr regiment were hurled at our front. We fired into them as fast as we could load—two hours at one stretch. Still they kept coming. There scarcely was a man among us who was not a crack shot. The Pats sent home ;heir bullets with the accuracy with which they brought down moose i . our own Ca- nadian woods. When the German hordes finally gave up their attempts to break our line the field in front was a gray carpet of dead. And of the Princess Pats we had left 133 men and one officer.\ In among his recruiting duties Jack has found time to write a book about the war experiences of him- self and Bobby Bairns. Once more Munroe has risen to the occasion. Not content with being a good fighter, a good miner, a good mayor and a good soldier. Jack promises to blos- som forth as a good author. Professional announcers never have been accused of being too mod- est in their introduction. It is a poor dub of a seeond rater that the average announcer cannot make a champion of. Perhaps it was on ac- count of Jack Munroe having done so ninny, many colorful things to tell ahout that the\ announcer in Madison Square Garden the other night recognized his inability to paint them more gorgeously and Mercifully spared the spectators with \One of the best of the old heavy weights—Jack Munrte.\ Bridge Bonds Sold Cascade county last week placed on the market bond issues for $243,- 000 and $224,000 to build two bridges across the Missouri river at Great Falls.

Their bid was 4 3-4 per cent interest on the issue of $224,000 and 5 per cent interest on the $243.000 issue. Both bids carried a premium, of $10. - When you buy War Savings.
