WISE TO WAIT.

On all accounts, Montana may ne
congratulated ON the fact that the
foundations Of her state institutions
were not laid before statehood was
achieved. Had the territorial legisla-
ture fastened to establish these, serious
mistakes would have followed as an
inevitable result, because shifting cen
tiers Of population have marked the
growth of the state and the wisest fore
casts would have been of small ac-
count.
Six years ago, nothing but the ripple
of Warm Spring creek broke the sill
ence of the canyon where h third
largest city of Montana now stands.
The changes wrought within fou years
in the Bitter Root valley are O than
remarkable. A large region north of
Helena will doubtless undergo surpris-
ing transformations within three
years. The country south of Dill
lon has well-fOunded expectations
regarding what the future will bring
forth. Vast irrigation schemes, now
reality within five years, n pOpula-
ton will pour into fields thus made in
viting.
These considerations prompted the
members of the constitutional cOnven-
ton to leave for future a~rbitrament the
question of fixing a permanent seat of
Cover nment for the territory. 1t goes
without saying that Helena is easily
the leading city of Montana to-day,
with claims to the state capital that
cannot be put out OF the way, yet the
growth Of the new state during the
next few years made be i'm a direc-
ton not now fOreseen and which
would make it unwise policy to leave
the capital at Helena. New railroads
are threading the domain and others
are soon to follow. 1t cannot be for
told how these will influence the dis
tribution of population or how the CEN
ters Of business and political influence
may be shifted.
Montana il to be congratulated on
the fact that all her public institutions
are yet to be placed. The state enjoys
u decided advantage i'm this respect
and, il legislatures move with modera-
ton in reaching conclusions, the best
results for all the people will follow.

Sc. Louis Made = Blunder.

From the Kansas City Times.
St. Louis made a und in appealing
to sectional feeling i'm it's circulars asking

Probably il was not intended to stir up
sectional feeling but there are expressions
in the circular which can be construed
that way, and the other cities which are
after the fair are making the most of
them. It In doubtful IL they will help st.
Louis much in the south, and it will GER

How Dogs Talk.

thing l could not understand for :
long while. 1t consists of a wrig
gle from end to end, and an ef'or1

and tail at once. He hardly seems
to know just which end to pu,
forward. This is the secret Of it:
language in lower creatures Is not
confined to the tongue. Most of
the creatures with tails talk with
tue tail as much as with the ton
gue-some more. A dogs tail
holds half his power of express
sion. AS We have lost the caudal
sppendage, we have grown to be
very tonguey-it is a necessity.
All our language is from the
mouth. But Bosco, you see talks
at both ends about equally as we'll,
and when he meets you after an
absence he is so delighted that
both ends contend to express JOY.
Sometimes [ pity Bosco, for it
seems as if he would twist him.
self into two dogs. 1t really must
be very embarrassing to have
language at both ends and neither
one quite complete. But at last
Bosco settles the dispute by sit
ting down on his tail to keep it
still, and the other comes out
ahead. Hurrah for the head
