ESSAY ON SELF CONTROL.

A Young Man Tells When 1t Is Most
Needed.
A thirteen-year-old youth who attends
one of the public schools not 100 miles
from the Circle, and whose capacity for
mischievousness seems unlimited, was
detected in the act one day last week,
and as a penalty was told that he must
write a composition on "Where and
When Is Self Control Necessarily He
turned in the following:
Self control is needed everywhere, but
is not practiced by everybody. like to
have fun in school and certainly don't
use much self control there. | don't
suppose the schoolroom is the place to
have fun, but everybody says that school
days are the happiest days Of a persons
life, and | try to make it so. But | am
not sticking to my subject, so will have
to leave this part now. Self control is
needed on the street, in the house, in the
church, in the street cars, in n drug
store, in the ballroom, in the kitchen, in
the parlor, in a grocery store, in a
dry goods store, in a candy store, in
a boot and shoe store, in a bookstore,

SUBSCRIPTION DUE.

We have many hundred dollars
due on subscription and though in
but small amounts and scattered
over much territory the aggregate
would be quite an %inducemenl to our
enterprise displayed. We have
made Improvements in the HERALD
and contemplate many others SO that
the public will see our work grow
better as the days roll by. And if
the readers want to see fine work
from the horse editor, or to read the
g%rumblers profoundest growls let
them drop a nickle in the slot or
words to that effect. We have seen
papers in agricultural settlements in
whose columns standing duns
were published from month to month
and in this way the editors were fed.
Extreme cases of delinquency are
hard to handle because the paper
man can't administer his customary
roasting to every man IN person.
But it is not to follow because a
paper uses patent insides that the
office force can live upon less than
ordinary mortals, or that beef steak
once a week is not relished the same.
We are chock-full of business, but
can always find time to write out a
receipt for three dollars ($3.OO.)

More than He Could Read.

Every newspaper man, says an en-
change, has at some time or other In
his business experience, met the mar
who snow takes more papers than he
can read" He was in town last
week. He wiped his nose on the
awning, tried to blow out the cleo
trio light at the hotel, failed to light
a cigar on it, paid % cents for an
almanac, put a nickle in the slot at
tee post-ofice and kicked because
mail did not come out, wanted to
lick the cashier lecause he closed at
3 o'clock, and watched the clock
sign in front of the jewellery store
waiting for it to strike and still che

HOW THEY STAND.

It would seem now that the Hell
ena Journal occupies the front seat
or the band wagon at the head of
the procession and that the Herald
is n of the rear guard. The Her
aid took the opinion of a ma ority of
our public leaders, that Blaine was
the only invincible plumed knight
idolized and adored by the whole
American people. But see the ac-
ton of our whole delegation to the
Minneapolis convention. AT home
they were Blaine men and almost
stopped over with expressing their
unalloyed admiration for that sturdy
representative of true American
principles. But oh. what a differ
ence at the convention. They stand
five votes to one in favor of the past
administration, They are only SIX
of a thousand. The action does not
exemplify the mutability of earthly
things as some would like to infer.
These six delegates were uninstruct-
ed. They went with a determination
to do and dare all that is best and
wisest for the party they work for.
When they reach the convention the
situation changes. They remember
that Harrison has given a wise adj
ministration. That he has main
tanned domestic and foreign tran
guilty against tremendous disadvan-
tages. That he has exhibited greater
skill than any other in choosing his
aids and hat he has done more for
Montana than any other president
since the world began.
Then they also saw that Montana
cuts a little more figure in a national
convention, when the east is pitted
against the west than a saw horse at
a trotting match. Many of us want
ed to vote for Blaine, but the major
ity of the convention thought differ
ent and let us return thanks for what
we have SO graciously and munifi-
Gently received.

Pronunciation in Our Schools.


would like to call attention to a
matter of which I may be very igno-
rant. I refer to the education Of our
children in the public schools. Some
of my children attend Public School
No. 80, and I very often hear them
pronounce very familiar words in an
outlandish way, the queer thing
about the matter being that, in speak
ing to people whose education was
taught them at a later day than my
own, they tell me that they were in
structed to pronounce the words as ]
will try and illustrate, the funny
point being that they now utter the
words as l was taught thirty-six
years ago in the public schools. Here
are some of the words: For dog they
must say doag, for new, neuw; for
doll, dol; neighs, nays; soft, saft;
wrong, wrang; long, lang; wrench,
rentze; fast, fast; Newfoundland,
Neuw Findland; New York, Neuw
Yark, etc.
Now, what's the benefit or use
in teaching children pronunciations
which they do not apply in after life3

COLLEGE MEN AT A DISCOUNT.
Frank Advice from n Sensible Siste
Aided One Young Fellow to Get q Start.

Frank Advice from n Sensible Sister
Aided One Young Fellow to Get a Start.
He was a college bred youth, and
after graduation came the question
of how he was to make his living.
He had the right stuff in him, though
at first it was pretty well hidden by
the high opinion he held of his own
capacity.
A farmers son, with no influential
friends to assist him in obtaining a
situation, he found himself alone in
Boston. He presented himself at
business offices, wrote letters IN an
swer to advertisements, sought inter
views with men prominent in COM
mercial and banking circles, but was
everywhere met with refusal. At
last he began to grow respondent
and to wonder what a college educa-
ton was good for anyhow.
He now sought the advice of an
old maid sister, his senior by many
years, whose experiences in the
world had made her thoroughly prac-
teal. She questioned him closely as
to how he made application for q
position, how he approached an en-
ployer, what he said of himself, etc.
When the young man had answered,
she said:
cts just as l & supposed, John. You
didn't ask for a place as an employee
at all. Your method is more like de-
handing that the employer turn over
his entire business to you. You'll
have to go about the thing different
ly. Don't attach so much impor-
lance to your college requirements.
Collegians nowadays are as thick as
huckleberries down east, and some
of them are working for a mere song.
Don't say to a man from whom
YOU expect a situation, My dear sir,
If there is an existing vacancy in
YOUR establishment l shall be glad to
fill it, being assured that my qualif-
cations will enable me to assume any
position you may have to offer Just
believe that there are a few things
left which you don't know, and make
your application accordingly"
John was sensible, and saw the
force of his sisters remarks. His
next request for a situation was
couched in more modest terms than
the others, and his college training
was not mentioned until the very
last part of the interview, when it
was drawn out by the employers
own questions.
He got that situation after a few
days without further trouble. That
was several years ago, and today he
holds a much better position in the
same establishment.
Only the other day John repeated
his sisters advice to a recent gradu-
ate from his alma mater, at the same
time relating his own experience

whenever he broke out of bounds

a note to the overseer, with instruc-

One Way to SuffOcate a Frog.

A frog cannot breathe with his
mouth open. The conformation OF
his breathing apparatus is such that
when his mouth is open his nostrils
will be closed and, paradoxical as it
may seem, all you have to do to suf-
focate a frog is to put a stick IN his
mouth SO he cannot shut his jaws. It
is a strange phenomenon, probably
unparalleled in animal history, but
nevertheless any one who pleases
may make the experiment, though 1t
certainly will be disastrous to the
frog.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
