OLD FORT TO STAND
ASSINNIBOINE IN MONTANA WILL
CONTINUE A8 ARMY P08T
- Was Built in 1879 and Bears the Reo-
ords of Many a Bloody Campaign
with the Fierce Indians of
th West
St Paul Minn — Historic Fort As-
slnnlbolne will not be dismantled and
blotted out of the Montana landscape
The government has changed Its mind
and the grim old fort with Its battle
scars and traditions of the Incessant
and bloody ' Indian warfare In the
early days will continue to house
Uncle Sam’s soldiers
It was originally intended to dis-
mantle the fort and sell the land
-Work was started tearing down the
buildings Then the government
thought better of It and gave orders
to let the old fort alone Now comes
an order from Washington directing
that one battalion of the Second In-
fantry be quartered at Assinnibolne
The other two battalions and the band
uiil go to Fort Tbomas The Second
will reach Frisco about April 15 and
should take possession of Assinnibolne
about the 20th
In addition to Its history In the
early days of Montana Fort Asslnnl-
boine is one of the largest reservations
the government owns comprising 220-
000 acres of prairie land making it
admirable for target work It is be-
lieved that eventually the reservation
will be used for artillery target prac-
tice as the immense tract will do
away with any chance of protest on
the part of people outside the reser-
vation The quarters as they now stand will
accommodate 86 officers and 685 men
and the garrison Is now being put in
order for occupation by the officers
and men of the 8econd At present
only a small detachment Consisting
of an officer and six or seven men is
at the fort to look after government
property
Fort Assinnibolne was erected In
1879 the reservation being purchased
1y the government May 9 of that
year

Ora (Tam of Darbv who was known all
through this section as "the man who
got square with the railroad” is dead
of the grippe at the age of 80
When the Plymouth A Mlddleboro
railroad was laid out much against
Capt Graffam’s will a considerable
taking of his property was made For
this he received several hundred dol-
lars less than he thought himself en-
titled to and so he determined to "get
even” He figured how many trips to
Plymouth and Mlddleboro to which
places he made frequent visits the
'sum would pay for and vowed to de-
prive the railroad company of th rev-
snue from his travels until be had
made good the amount which he fig-
ured he bad losL
For years until he became somewhat
enfeebled by age he walked both go-
ing and coming In the last few years
be compromised by walking one way
and riding on the train the other until
the sum total was made up only a
short time ago Th aged captain

To Prove Woodpeckers Eat Bark Bee-

Deadwood S D — One of the most
remarkable Orders ever received by
the local forest service office has just
come from Washington Supervisor
Hamilton has been requested to have
his rangers kill and dress a couple cf
dozen wooodpeckers selected from dif-
ferent parts of the Black Hills nation-
al forest
The stomachs of the birds are to be
carefully preserved and after being de-
tached and given temporary treatment
v-Ith an embalming fluid labeled and
forwarded to Washington where they
will be analysed and tested to find if
any of the bark beetles that have
proved so destructive in the hills are
contained in the organs
It is believed by the forestry depart
ment that the woodpeckers have been
a persistent enemy of the bark beetle
end it is to prove or disprove this
theory in the interests of science that
the department has issued the order
Rangers are now carrying it into ef-

WHO LOST THIS RAILROAD?
Half Mile of Ralls and Ties Posad la
Alleghany River
Philadelphia — A half mil of ties
and railroad iron have recently been
discovered in the Alleghany river be-
tween Oil City and Franklin Th
rails show th trademark "B B L C"
Indicating that they were turned out
by the Brady's Bend Iron company
the first to manufacture iron for rail-
roads west of the Alleghany moun-
tains As the Franklin branch of th for-
mer Atlantic A Great Western now
the Erie railroad and th Franklin and
Jamestown branch of the Lake Shore
railroad originally followed the banks
of the river closely it would be prob-
ably a difficult matter to determine
which of these roads lost a section
of Its line years ago by a landslide
Th Brady's Bend Iron company has
been out of business for nearly or
quite 40 years
The Most Common Cause of Suf-
fering Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm will afford relief and make
rast and sleep possible In many cases
the relief from pain which is at first
temporary has become permanent
while in old people subject to chronic
rheumatism often brought on by damp-
ness or changes in tho weather a
permanent cure cannot be expected
the relief from pain which this liniment
affords is alone worth many times ils

Doesn’t Mind Giving Her Age and
Add That Sh I Red-Headed
High-Tempered and Will Ac-
cept Reduced Wages
Chicago — A young woman of the
West side finding herself out of em-
ployment has discovered that a small
advertisement unique in its wording
was able to go where she could not
and that a position will be the resulL
Her name is Miss Blanche Patterson
In the "ad” which she wrote without
suggestion from any of her friend
Ml Patterson made a confidant of
her future employer telling him her
age color of hair disposition and
other characteristics that an employer
needing the service of a stenographer
would want to know Her appeal fol-
low: SITUATION WANTED — STENOORA-
pher 29 5 ft 7 In red-headed hlh-
tempered kind-hearted independent In-
duetrioua poeltlon of any kind on Oliver
machine: former price flO reduced to
98 up three years' experience: references
Address T 368 Tribune
"I do flatter myself that it was an
ingenious way to approach those who
may need stenographers” said Miss
Patterson "And it -has succeeded in
part at least for I expect to receive a
position from one of the places where
I made application
"I have already received more than
50 letters from business men all over
the city1” she continued "I answered
half a dozen of theie in person:”
In reply to a question asking what
had led her to employ this method
Miss Patterson said:
"I wanted to let any prospective
employer know before he answered
the advertisement just what kind of
a peraonallty he was corresponding
with ao that when I applied he would
not be disappointed in me There was
method in my plan if you will only
consider that It was to my interest to
economize in time as well as it was
for the prospective employer I can-
not afford to chase around the city on
‘wild goose' errands and after I have
spent car fare and time be told that
‘the position has Just been filled’
“As to my age I am not ashamed to
admit that It is correct as given In
the advertisement I cannot imagine
why any woman should be ashamed to
tell By telling my height I wanted
my future employer to know Just the
else of a girl he was getting Tou
know some men like tall stenograph-
ers and others prefer girla of my
height though I consider that is an
unimportant feature of the advertise-
ment” “But did you consider it important
that you tell the color of your hair?”
"Tea Jnst for the same reason that
I told my height - Many men are par-
tial to red hair while others abhor it
"By many llgh tempered’ may be
misinterpreted It does not mean
that I am ‘high tempered' in the sense
that I am vicious and not to be
crossed I meant by that that I have
a mind of my own and if treated half-
way fairly I will reciprocate in kind
Tou know some girls are ao ’wishy-
washy’ ’namby-pamby’ that they will
submit to moat anything from an em-
ployer I will not
" ‘Kind-hearted’ means that I am
willing to go out of my way to favor
my employer when he proves to me
that he is a humane man and that I
will not grumble when I am asked to
work a few minutes overtime
" ‘Former price $10 reduced to $8
up’ is a Joke more than anything else
Reading between the lines anyone can
see that it does not mean that I will
work for $8 for any length of time
The word up’ will explain that For
the last three years I have not earned
less than $10 a week and I don't think
I would work for any less now unless
I waa forced to by starvation
"As I said in the beginning the
whole advertisement waa Inserted for
the purpose of attracting attention to
me and the fact that I was looking for
employment The business man that
takea me will have no fault to find
with me when he doea get me for if
I say it myself I am a flrst-clasa ste-
