True Charity,

"Ihere Is much in this world
that assumes the character and
passes current for charity, that is
as unlike it as night is from day.
The selfish yet ambitious man of
wealth may ostentatiously give of
his abundance, and the people
applaud his supposed charity,
when in fact he has no more of
the fine gold of true charity in his
heart than the granite paving stone
on which he treads. Such distri-
button of wealth will relieve the
present necessities of those not
too sensitive to thus publicly re-
ceive it, but will not reach the
heart and bind up the bruised yet
proud spirit of those of Gods
poor whom the man of Nazereth
had in his mind when he said on
this subject, ''let not thy left hand
know what thy right hand doeth."
The dew-drop which sparkles with
diamond bri ghtness on the bosom
of the morning flower, tinting
with the divinest of natures touch
its blushing petals, comes not in
the bright sunlight, heralded by
the noise and tumult of dissolving
elements, but in the silent watches
of the night, when all nature is
hushed in such quiet repose that
the rustic Of a falling leaf can be
distinctly heard, when by the soft
light of the stars, the angels of
God keep watch and ward over
sleeping world, then, as silently as
the foot fall of u sparrow it comes,
and bathes the dropping flower,
and waving grain, and parched
fields with the pearly proofs of
God S undying love and charity to
man. Even as quietly as fall the
dewS Of heaven to refresh and in
vigorate exhausted nature, should
human charity be bestowed; then
the sensitive, sorrowing and CRATE
full heart on which it falls will
throb with new life, and the donor
will have bound its recipient unto
him by ties stronger than links Of
gold, and as imperishable as the
divinity of his own godlike deeds.
The earnest grasp of the hand,
and the kind, encouraging word,
which are twin sisters of all true
charity, and ever present at its
ministrations, will mark with un-
erring certainty the wide distance
there is between true and counter
felt charity. -Conklin's Dakotian.

SCHOOL POSSIBILITIES

The approaching completion OF the
commodious addition to our school
building prompts the Journal TO bring
to the attention of its readers particu-
larry those who. living in the country,
are deprived of advanced school privi-
leges-the opportunity that will 10Y be
open TO them for enjoying the advant-
vantage. of the higher branches of edu-
cation right here at home. The Miles
City school. as enlarged. will easily ac-
ton of this number of pupils into
grades. by means Of which the work of
the teacher is rendered much more eff
f~ective. and the benefits to the pupil
vastly greater than under the present
compressed system. where IN teacher
has to look after two or more grades. Or
course the new idea contemplates the
increasing Of the teachers by two or
three. and il is also true that the exist
ing financial condition of the district
will not admit of this. 1t is hoped.
however. that the wishesof those attend
ing and 10 attend. and the desires of
those now living IN the country. and who
wish to enjoy better educational advant-
ages than they now do. will so far u
current as to achieve the results in view.
Briefly what is need,d to put the Miles
City school on a high grade Of educa-
tional ability is IA number of pupils from
the country. whose extra tuition fee.
though small in itself, will aggregate
enough to cover the expense of the addi-
tional teachers. The present enrolment
of pupils is 2GO. The taxpayers of the
district last spring authorized the ex-
penditure of 10000 in creating ~increas-
ed accommodations for pupils. in the be
lief that one large school which could.
under favorable conditions. be graded
up to a college or university standard,
would be of greater value to the pupils
of Custer county than two chool of
limited capacity. Notwithstanding the
unprecedented financial depression of
the past summer the sum voted was en-
pended in the construction of a commo-
dious addition to the old school house.
doubling its size. and adding to it four
or five large rooms that are superior in
all the requirements for school purposes.
By the first of February everything will
be in readiness for using this new addi-
ton. and If all the young people in the
country who desire 10 attend. will sig
Nifty to the trustees of school district
No. ] their wishes or intention, it will
materially aid in the adjustment of the
school to the demands that may be
made upon it.. We are not informed as
to the tuition fee for pupils from outside
the district, but understand it to be
nominal, and taken IN connection with
the cheap living that can be had in
town, it is safe to say that a year at
school in Miles City will not cost one
fourth of what it does at the cheapest of
colleges or universities.

The capital stock of the institution
was fixed at $4,000, and later was
raised to $4,000. From the start
the banks finances have been carefully
and cleyerely managed, to that extent
that the bank now does its business in
its own building and has a surplus that
shoots far into the thousands of dol

the very near future be remoddelled
It will be put on a line with the pave
