The Livingston Enterprise, in COM
menting on a little squib in this paper
about screen across the Yellowstone be-
low Livingston to catch the hats blown
off there, says:
eff Bozemanite would arrange in
some manner to "screen" from the eyes
of the world the evidence contained
every day in the Chronicle of the malice,
envy and jealousy felt by Bozeman tow
ard Livingston and of the dullness and
lack of business life experienced by the
former town as compared with the latter,
it would be merciful outlay of inventive
genius"
Malice, envy and jealousy" Whew
You take our breath away, and Exhibit
ed every day in the Chronicle" How
sensitive you are, and how your corns
hurt when your toes are stepped on.
How foolish to think Bozeman the third
city in Montana in wealth, population
and business, has any jealousies. Why,
bless your dear soul, more goods are sold
in Bozeman daily than in one week in
Livingston, and good deal goes to your
own doors. Werepeat we have no "malice,
envy or jealousy" of Livingston. May it
grow and prosper and become an import
ant place (if it don't blow away but we
did not think joke or two would call
down on our heads such bitter words
We take it all back The wind don't blow
over there. Nobody over there blows.
We didn't chase a hat for half mile
down the track. Livingston is the most
important place in Montana, and the En-
terprise is the livliest, spiciest paper pub
lished in Montana five were ableto get
away from thisdull place, where there are
only a few :" shacks," we would go over
there and cast our lot with the good peo-
pie of Livingston.
Good Advice.
First-Never, under any circumstances,
assume a responsibility that you can
avoid consistently with yourself and
others.
Second-Base all your actions upon a
principle of right preserve your integ-
rity of character, and in doing this never
reckon the cost.
Third-Remember that selfinterest il
much more like to warp your judgment
than all other circumstances combined !;
therefore, look well to your duty when
your interest is concerned.
