50 freely offered II we can carry the nd
vantage Of the academy to the remotess
hamlet. le- Us do 1t, but do not for ore mo-
meat permit the lowering of the standard
OF the common country school.
Prof. Prentice said: "When Won. Mr..
President, were a boy, necessary educa-
ton meant the ability to read well enough
to get the meaning, the sense; to be able to
write well enough to sig1 ones name to a
note, or TO write the note if necessary; to
spell passably well and to be moderately
proficient IN arithmetic SO far as interest;
and that answered then. But we must
recognize the fact that times have changed: :
competition is now hundred times sharper
than it vas then, and what was sufficient
education for you is not enough for your
boy. He must be able to read for others to
understand; he must write so others can
read it; he must spell correctly; he must be
quicker in all his calculations; he must
know the history of his country; he must
understand its government; he is expected
to know something of physiology and
hygiene; he will be better able to solve
soma Of the kaosty problems he will meet
in life if he has had a few months in al
gebra."
l. w. Near remark ID that to him the out
side appearance is criterion of the stand
ing of the school; whe.e the house is di-
lapidated, and the outhouses and surround
lngs show neglect it is a pretty sure iadica-
ton that the parents are to blame and have
not done their duty. Pay as much at5en-
ton to your schools as you would to your
stock; visit than at least often enough to
know that they are governed and looked
after in proper manner.

The Part Drugs Play.

Drugs do not directly cure; they merely
aid nature by removing obstacles. Anti
pyrin, forinstance, lowers the temperature
in typhoid fever but it does not cure the
fever. 1t only combats an unfavorable
symptom The doctor stands by and
watches the Symptoms, while nature works
out the cure by processes which even the
wisest expert cannot comprehend.
None have less confidence in the power
of medicine to cure than our best physi-
clans. One prominent doctor in Boston
wishes it inscribed on his tombstone.
"Hcre lies doctor who never gave medi-
cine" No one will question the fact that
the tendency To prescribe less medicine has
grown rapidly Of late years = Youths

4 SUMMER PICTURE.

The farmer sat in his easy chair
Smoking his pipe OF clay,
Wh,le his hale old wife with busy care
Was clearing the dinner away;
A sweet little giFj With fine blue eyes
On her grandfather'S knee was catching
flies
The old man laid his hand on her head,
With tear on his wrinkled face;
He thought how often her mother dead,
Had sat in the self same place.
AS the tears stole down from his half shut
eye
Don't smoker said the child; ''how ii
makes You cry,
The house dog lay stretched out on the floor,
Where the shade after noon used to steal;
Tho busy old wife by the open door
Was turning the spinning wheel;
And the old brass clock on the manteltree
Had plodded along to almost three
Still the farmer sat in his easy chair.
While close to his heaviDg breast
The moistened brow and the cheek 50 fair
Of his sweet grandchild were press'd;
His head bent down on her soft hair lay;
Fast asleep were they both that summers
day

missionaries were happy and uncopcerned,

writes: How little one knows the enemies

When a Woman VIII.

A young wife who is just mastering the
mysteries OF housekeeping used more kim
ding wood for her kitchen fire than her
husband liked to split, and he decided to
prepare only a certain amount and to limit
her to what he thought a proper quantity.
The first time she ran short she promptly
dumped in the family stock of clothespins
to make the mullins bake and sent out to
the grocer's for fresh supply. A woman
can circumvent the poor worm, man, al
most any day in the week, and not half

What He Said.

Another instance of subject of specu-
lntion proving, in fact, surprisingly differ
ent from what enthusiastic fancy painted
it is an amusing story of Mr.. Parnell told
by The London Speaker. Mr.. Parnell and
q colleague were sitting in side gallery
of the house of commons.
1t was serious moment for the Irish
had retired in high dudgeon from the
house; the ministry were hard beset and
required the Irish vote to prevent them
from being defeated. Mr. Gladstone had
heightened the situation by suggesting
that if he were defeated he should have to
consider his personal position. All eyes
turned to the small group Of Irishmen who
had such momentous issues at their mercy.
At that moment Mr.. Parnell, looking
down on the surging, excited and deeply
observant house underneath, uttered a few
words to his companion with II look of in
scrutable mystery. No one can tell what
priceless guerdon would have been given
to that friend who would reveal such
confidence and lay bare the great and
secret thoughts that had found expression
in this supreme hour
What Mr. Parnell had said was: II won

AT BUTTE TO-DAY.

To-day the Republicans OF Montana
will assemble at Butte to name the
next Republican congressman. We
believe there will be but one name in
the mouths of the delegates present,
and it will be that OF Thomas ii.
Carter. There will be u united voice
demanding him as their leader. 1t
will be such an expression that Mr..
Carter will feel in duty bound to heed.
With this brilliant and intrepid leader
the Republicans OF Montana would
march on to certain victory. In his
brief career in congress he has made
"a national reputation by his labors
in behalf of Montana interests. lie
is considered the ablest representa ative
from the northwest, and in choosing
him to fill the important position OF
secretary OF the republican congress
ional committee his ability was Justly
recognized and Montana highly hon
ored.
Republicans generally will await
anxiously the result OF the Butte con-
ventiOn. Should Mr.. Carter remain
firm i'm his determination to retire
from politics then another leader will
be found to bear the Republican ban
ner aloit and lead the party on to
victory. Montana is Republican, and
whoever is named at Butte is sure ol
5000 majority.

AS TO MIR. MEADOW.

The Democrats of Fergus county
have placed T. W. Meadow in nomi-
nation for state senator. For various
reasons We regard the selection "a poor
one. In the first place it is a question
whether Mr.. Meadow is resident OF
this county. While he has mining
interests at Maiden, through the mis-
carriage of II sale, he has built him a
permanent home in Michigan where his
family is now located, ii We are cor
rectly informed. lie has not been in
the county nor in the State for over n
year and it is only because of the re-
verting to him again OF the Spotted
Horse property is he here now. We
do not think Mr.. Meadow has any
intention OF becoming or remaining a
resident OF Fergus county. This has
been commonly understood From
Adow's purpose to put the Spotted
Horse property in good shape and
then seek purchaser, and that it was
not his intention to operate the prop
erty during the winter.
What Fergus county needs and must
have is bona fide resident to repre-
sent it's interests at Helena this winter.
We cannot afford to take chances.
We are not electing a state senator at
large. We want a man who expects
to remain here and be identified wit h
our interests i'm the future.
How is it now? Practically we have
in part nonresident representation in
the lower house. Must we 60 to the
outside world for state senator?
But Mr.. Meadow was not chosen
because he represented the true inter-
ests OF this county. 1t was secretly
whispered that he had u "barrel'
which he might he induced to tap il
he got the nomination. But Fergus
county has seen enough OF such meth
DDS i'm carrying elections. They will
not work this year.
Mr.. Meadow represents a party that
is unfriendly to the most prominent
if not all the industries OF this county,
including mining in which he is en-
gagged, and his election would be an
endorsement OF its policy.
The Republicans have placed in
nomination a man who has grown up
with our industries and who intends
to make his permanent home among
us. lie is an intelligent, capable, fair
minded man and generous to a iault.
lie is in the county for what there is
in it, not for what he can get out OF it g.
While he has no "barre" to unduly in
huence voters, he will he found a hard
and earnest worker in the campaign,
and will be elected by u good round
majority. Mr.. Baylies should have
the support OF every Republican in
Fergus county. There is no question
but he will get II good many Demo-
cratic votes.

Senate ors Sanders and Power were in
New York last week, and in an inter
view expressed themselves III favor of
the election bill. Mr.. Power said:
The election bill ought to be passed.
II is an outra that it cannot lie
passed. but there are republicans IN
sufficient numbers who oppose any
change in the rules, So that it H.
Impossible to pass both the tariff and
elections bill. | know how much the
business of our country depends upon
and requires the completion of the
tariff bill, and ] prefer to let the
elections bill wait rather than endan-
sei the tariff bill" Sanders is EN-
phatically in favor of forcing The
elections bill through at this session.
''lt is cowardly not to pass IT." he
said. Where We allow II miserable
minority To rob us oi votes IN such
numbers that they make us appear in
I he minority; when they accompany
it with assassination, with brut nj
threats, with taunts and gibes, We
deserve to he robbed. ii having the
power and almighty Justice or our
side, we do not right the wrong.
don't believe there is II single republican
member OF the United States senate
who would dare O vote against the bill.
They dare not vote against the bill.
They dare vote against changing the
rules, however. and that is the Stun
bling block. AS long as the rules are
unchanged they can block the bill.
