the waiting to be served, the scant
time left the traveller. With engaging
courtesy he invites his companion
to share his luncheon. He cx-
plains that he was to have gone
to Switzerland with a friend.
At the eleventh hour q telegram
reached him with apologies from
his friend for being unable to come.
The dispatch is leeping out OF

THAT is how it happens that have

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
A MODERN MAIDEN.

Tn bud in philosophys school,
l heed not the thOrns in life's roses;
The life that is guided by rule
In wisdom serenely reposes.
Not man with his smile or his frown
Makes my heart beat one atom the faster;
Thro' the world, from the king to the clown
acknowledge no man as my master.
There are plenty to smile when smile,
Or sadly to look when I'm grieving;
All little they think, all the while,
/ know they are only deceiving.
A man makes very good slave,
Like fire-though cause of disaster,
When once all deception you save
By calling his lordship your master.
TITS better mid fiatterers to rove,
II Establishments do not deceive you
Than to bask in the light of a love
Whose tenderness wins but to grieve you;
Better live an unfettered old maid,
And die like an autumn dried aster,
Than always to sigh in the shade
OF a masculine who is your master.

NORE GOOD NEWS.

We announced IN the Tribune OF
the 18th inst that Great Falls would
be selected as the seat of the new
fourth judicial district and that judge
Bach would preside here. This
agreeable news is fully confirmed by
the Helena advices which we print to-
day. At the close Of the term on
Saturday, chief justice Mcconnell an
nounced that the new district is com
posed of Cascade, Fergus, Dawson,
Choteau and Meagher counties. He
stated also that the United States
courts will be held here and that
Judge Bach will preside at the terms
which will be held in June and De-
cember.
This arrangement recognizes IN a
gratifying manner, the central loca-
ton of Great Falls and we I con-
fdent. will meet with the hearty APP
proval of all the counties concerned
The district is symmetrical and closely
connected by the railroad and stage
lines. No part Of it is SO remote
from the judicial seat as to cause In
convenience to lawyers or lltlgants
It will be much easier, for instance.
for persons in Choteau county to at
tend the United States courts here
than to go to Helena as they have
done. hitherto. The cost of convey.
ing prisoners and witnesses will be
considerably less and the semi-an,
nual terms will enable the court te
clear the calender without much de.
Law compared with the former
method. In Sun River and its vicin
ity. the advantage of a nea ludlcla
seat will likewise be felt. The Ions
stage and railroad journey to Helen;
will be avoided and no one can com
plain of denial Of justice.
The assignment OF judge Bach vii
meet with general approval here. HI
comes with a good record and en-
larged experience from Miles City
and, we understand, has a high opin
ion Of Great Falls and her people
The bar and citizens will give him
hearty welcome and will appreciat
the good will which he has mani
tested.
