ELy-Broken bones seem to be in fashion
lately, two ladies having broken and dislocated
wrists, and one shoulder out Of joint All are
doing well. The winter schools commenced
Monday, with Miss Kathan and Laura Little as
teachers. There are no schools anywhere that
can show brighter looking or more healthy schol
ars than the one hundred and fifty that file past
our windows daily. We venture to say, too, that
very few are better dressed than the average OF
these. Mr.. Ely Goddard has two foxes recently
caught. The old meat market building has
been removed across the brook and is converted
into dwelling. An ell will afford room for
shop, and the whole is to be occupied by a shoe
maker. Various other repairs and improvements
are in progress 50. The stills are laid for the new
Catholic church, and 1t will rest now till spring

"why did he OF we ask and ask again,
How we live without his helping hand,
Ills sympathy. warm, for all our pain,
His love and cheer for all the household band9
o, God, forgive, N In our weakness we

More need than had these parents for their only son2
Or had the sisters with whom Jesus wept

AMANDA ALLEN WooDwoRTH.-Mrs Amanda
Woodwork died in Dubuque Iowa, November
I'd, at the residence of her daughter Mrs. A.
Wolcott, aged eighty-one years and nine months.
She was born in Lebanon, New Hampshire, Janu-
airy 81, 1893. After residing few years in the
state of New York. her parents went to Chelsea,
Vermont when she was eight years Of age. There
she was married February oath, 1921 In 1857
she removed to New Hampshire, and in 1869 to
Iowa Her husband and all her children-four
in number-live to mourn her loss and cherish
her blessed memory. The deceased was long a
member OF the Congregational church in Chelsea,
uniting by profession in 1923, and well remem-
bered for her active Christian life and interest in
the spiritual welfare Of all, especially the youth
In her vicinity. The following just tribute we
copy from the Dubuque Daily Times: "A long
life filled with toll and care, crowded with words
and deeds Of kindness, has ended From first to
last she lived for others more than herself She
was a constant living Christian for more than
fifty years. Unfatering trust in God and caring
for those about her characterized her whole life
She was selfsacrifcing generous and charitable
almost to a fault. The poor and afflicted always
found in her a friend. It is true OF her that she
was faithful in every relation of life Tho prom
Use is surely fulfilled, will give thee a crown
of life "

THE INCREASE AND PROFITS OF TWELVE
YEARS CATTLE GROWING
I'M y "

IN MONTANA.
Just now, as capital is seeking our coun-
try for investment, the following computa-
ton, showing what may be done in our ter
ritory in cattle-growing may prove both in
teresting and beneficial.
This table was prepared by ar eminent
and practical stock-grower at the instance
of Col. A.. J. Vial, of Helena, one of the
most extensive cattle-growers of the Vel
lowstone valley.
The increase in twelve years is astonish-
ingly large, and We think has only to be
studied a little to satisfy capitalists that the
Investment in cattle is a sure road to fortune.
Better, we think, and much more reliable,
than to risk money in mines or merchandise
ing. The grass grows free and spontaneous
upon our plains and mountains, and we
wonder that it is allowed to dry up and
waste when there are thousands of dollars
lying idle and rusting in the treasures and
banksso of the country.
The. compiler has allowed two per cent.
per annum as an average loss, which we
think ample, aud more than is sustained by
those who manage judiciously. The in
crease through the twelve years is figured
at eighty per cent, which, though perhaps
an average, could be materially increased
by giving it the attention required in any
other branch of business.
We think the expenses are larger than
necessary, but considering taxes and some
other items which have been omitted, the
calculation, taken altogether will not tall
far short. Of course we have occasional So
we're winters n deep snow in some sections,
where cattle which are kept among farms
and on poor ranges, die off more or less,
but we have extensive ranges where the
NOW does not lie, even in the most severe
winters, to a sufficient depth to interfere
with grazing, and where stock do not fall
of to any extent the whole winter. We
have seen as fine beef as eyer was killed
driven from the range in March and April,
where they had had nothing to cat the en-
tire winter except what they foraged for;
and this too, during some of our most rig
Orous winters.
