From the Spectator.
No doubt the French, like all races into

If he will but profess admiration and af-
lection for their nation. They cannot, IL

in patience and wait till the sun shines;
nor do they ever feel. Germans and En- =
glishmen feel, that the only satisfactory
work is the work which is done alone
They hunger for praise like poets, and for
sympathy like women.
But there is another side to the French
mind, which is never to be forgotten-a
mathematical side, given to calculation,
keen in business. apt to be even unpleas-
antly clear-sighted in it's recognition of the
actualities Of life. The true Frenchman
adores, quite genuinely far emotion
is concerned, and then asks about the dot

it IN the future. In the past they have
nothing to be thankful for.

rest of mankind, and deserted them when

Col Jack Reynolds of the Big Horn coun-
try is in Washington. This is his first trip
to the east since he went west in the in
fancy OF that section. and is his first visit
to Washington. Although the fame of
Washington has reached even into Mon
tana, the colonel says that he was not pre-
pared to see all the glories and greatness
that he has seen. He believes that all Amer
leans should make an annual pilgrimage
to their capital. Washington is a very
much bigger city than we have out in Mon
tana, though Butte and Helena are whop-
ping big places, with tons of whoop and
