"Castoria is the best remedy for children of

far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest OF their children, and use Castoria in
stead OF the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,

My mother died, fifteen years ;gc
in Boone county, Iowa, when I was
only a year Old Shortly after

neighbor named Morgan. When
| was about eli ght years old we re-
moved to Nebraska, and at this
time father seems to have lost track
OF me. 7 understand that he en-
deavored to find me, but was base
ly led, by an interested party, to
believe that I had died. | have
only recently learned that the Nor
gans were not my parents. | am
passing my days among strangers.
They are nothing to me; l am
nothing to them. The thought
makes me homesick and lonely
and sad. I believe my own dear
father is living, somewhere in this
wide, wide world, and if he is I
mean to find him. You can assist
me, if you will, but | can offer you
no reward at present, except my
gratitude and my blessing.
If you are unable to give me any
information regarding my father,

Lost in the Buffalo Basin

Grey Bull (Wyoming) Mascot.
w. r. Guynup, informs the Mas
cot, that an old gentleman and his
SON got off the road between the
LU ranch and the Grey Bull bride.
and wandered through the upper
Buffalo basin for two days. On
the second day the two became
separated and the son wandered
into the UL ranch. He informed
the employees there of the SAD
plight in which he had left his
father. A party was at once or,
ganized and started in search Of
the old gentleman, but after being
out all day, they returned without:
him. On the third day the old
gentleman wandered in. His tongue:
was so swollen that it was several
DAYS before he could get it back in
to bis mouth. The pair were afoot'
leading a pack horse and were
bound for Red Lodge, Montana.

San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Joseph Bruno arrived in this city
three DAYS ago with about $500 in
his pocket. He came from Miclii-
gan, and It must have been very
evident that he was verdant, for
yesterday morning he met very
nice young fellow, afable, kind and
obliging, who took great fancy to
the wanderer from the Wolverine
! state, and at once became his very
dear friend.
The two men "did the town" in
good style, all at the expense of the
affable friend, and along in the after
noon they landed in the Alhambra,
saloon kept by NJ. J. Dunn under
the grand opera house on Mission
street. Here they found three SOL
emn-looking-men engaged in
quiet game Of poker, and after
watching the game for a while the
ob]igine friend bought some chips,
gave half of them to the man from
Michigan, and the two were soon
deeply engaged.
A very good hand was 500, dealt
to Bruno, and he carried off the
the stakes. Of course, he could not
stop there, and when he found he
had been dealt three aces and two
kings he was only too willing to
show how they play poker in Mich
igan. There was 10 limit to the
betting, and, as Bruno was crtain
the others held small hands, he was
not backward, and soon had $43O
on the table. The hands were then
shown, and the Michigan man found
that dear friends are sometimes
good poker players, for the affable
man, who had two trays, had in
some way increased them to four,
and consequently raked in the $3.50 |
Bruno suspected something, and
announced his intention to notify
the police. After some talk the
four players quietly went out, and
the proprietor, NJ. J. Dunn, offered
Bruno $400 if he would say nothing.
Bruno refused, because he wanted
the full amount, and he went for an
officer. When the two returned the
offer was raised, the full amount of
S430 was given by Dunn to Bru::o,
and the Michigan man was once
more happy. He will be more
careful in dealing with an obliging
western man VIXEN he meets anoth-
er one.

Great Falls Prosperous.

Great Falls Leader.
A gentleman stepped into the
Leader office yesterday and re-
marked: "The laboring class must
be pretty we'll employed in Great
Falls just at present. I have been
looking for man three or four DAYS
to do little piece of work and
can't find one." We hear other
talk of the same nature about the
streets and presume is is fair to
say that there isn't a loboring man
in Great Falls to-day, if he dosn't
happen to be too much of a spec
ialist, who cannot find honest en-
ployment at fair wages. We are
proud to say as much, and that
Great Falls is one of the few cities
in the northwest where there are
not more laborers than can find
employment. This is not published
to the world with purpose to call
in hundreds Of laborers, who per-
haps would not find work waiting,
but as striking proof Of the gen
eral prosperity this city is enjoying.
We find that our men of affairs are
all conservative in their statements,
but they have no hesitation in say
ing that business is "]ooking up"
Great Falls is bee hive of busy
people, q city wonderful for its
every day progress.

DO Children Pay.

You'll tave more sense than to stand uu

Great gosh Of course they pay!

And roar and pitch about us all until

Our joints are free from aching and our
hearts are in glow.
"They pay is when their frank young
love shines in their jolly eyes;
music in their cries,
Sweeter than all the fddles and the pian1

Nevada Irrigating Convention

Representative men of this state
held convention here today fu
the purpose of approving the Sal
Lake conventions request that tn,
generel government take action ii
the matter of irrigation. Governo
Colcord presided and addressed tn,
convention as did +. G. Newland.
Senator Stewart, Congressman Bar
time and others. The convention
approved the Salt Lake platform o.
water districts similar to those un.
der the Wright law, in California.
Yellowstone Journal Comment:
The subject of irrigation is con-
stantly attracting earnest attention
and the intetests of Montana de-
mand we too awake to our own
needs; the extract above quoted
shows that Nevada is moving in the
matter.
Montana today has the greatest
extent of irrigatable lands of any
western state. and it is time to pro-
fit by the experience of Colorado
and California and begin the course
OF development by irrigation that
has rendered such large tracts of
those states, the most valuable agri-
cultural lands in this country.
OF all the irrigating systems vet
tried, the Wright system as estab-
]ished in California is the most sue
cessful ard seems to be the best adj
apted to the conditions that exist in
NJ ontana. This in brief is the en-
actment Of state laws providing for
i!rii5 dattioil districts which shall be
quasi corporations like school dis
trlct with trustees and power to is
sue bonds and construct and main
tain dams and canals and to tax ali
land irrigated by the ditch for the
payment Of the interest on the bonds.
Just as every settlement of few
families in Montana can origa1'ize
school district and maintain a
school, so can every district having
enough ranches to make Irrigation
desirable, form an irrigation district
under the Wright law and thus in-
sure the construction of a ditch
Montana ought to follow the ex-
ample of Nevada without delay;
hold a convention and prepare for
the enactment of an irrigation law.

Cures for the Blues.

Cures for the Blues.
Chicago Herald
DO you ever have the blues? @
course you do, for there never We
lived a man or woman whose sou
cast no shadow. These times O
depression from which we all of u
suffer more or less are nothing
more than the shodows cast by ou
souls in the road along which W.
are walking heavenward. Sun
shine rays produce shadow, and the
fact that our souls go into eclipse
now and then prove that there is
sunshine just behind us. But wha
do you do when you get the blues.
Do you cry or scold or NOPE? Its
hard to live in the same house with
you while the shadow falls athwart
your way? Do the children gel
out of your way when they see you
coming? I have found one excel
lent cure for the blues which ]
mean to tell right here. Go straight
to work and do something for some
one more miserable than yourself.
Whatever your trouble may be,
there is always some one to be
found who has harder lot to bear.
The other day a young wife was
deserted by her scamp of a husband
and taken to the hospital to face a
terrible illness, without a friend to
stand by her in her hour of need,
and with not a cent to defray ex-
pences or unlock the door of the
future. Suppose you 60 hunt her
up and offer a helping hand. Such
betrayal and desertion discounts
your pufs Of vapor. A mother
watched the coffin lid close the
other day forever and forever, so
far as mortal time counts, between
her yearnlng eyes and the face of
her only boy. What is your tran
sient depression compared to the
heart anguish of such a grief as
hers2Don't YOU think it would help
cure you of the blues if you sat
down and wrote that mother let
ter, or dropped in for hour or two
to keep her company? It seems
such a selfish thing to lie so ex-
elusive III bearing trouble. A load
shared is a load lightened, and the
deepest gloom takes on a bright
tint now and then if overshown
with the sunshine of love.
