+ feel~ convinced, and this feeling is based
upon careful inquiry, writes Edward w. Box
in the January Ladies' Home Journal, that
four principal branches of study, with one
or two of the arts, are sufficient for
healthful absorption by any girl of average
mental capacity And if I were asked to
outline these particular studies they would
consist First, of a thorough English course
covering analysis, grammar, composition
and rhetoric; second, history; third litera-
t,re and fourth, mathematics. And add to
these as accomplishments, the study Of
music first and art second, and a girl has
a sufficient course or study before her, with a
due regard for her physical welfare. Where
other branches of study are deemed best or
necessary it is wiser to substitute rather
than add.

which have their origin in this neglect of

Meeting of Assessors.

A convention of county assessors
was held in Helena last week, called
by the board of equalization at the
request of some of the assessors.
The value of stock cattle was first
taken up and after some discussion it
was agreed that S15 should be the
basing value in eastern counties and
S12 in western counties.
As regards horses it "a found that
the high average in some of the coun-
ties last year was due t no distinction
being made between unbroken horses
on the range and work horses. 1t was
decided to use SO as n basing value
for unbroken range horses and to
leave to the individual judgment OF
the assessors the value OF work horses.
This will make three classes of horses
range, work and thoroughbred, in
stead of only common and thorough
bred.
The basing value of sheep was made
S1.5O per head. In this connection a
letter was read from ]. H. Rice, secre-
tary of the Montana W~oolgrowers'
association, showing the great decline
in stock and mutton sheep as well as
the low price OF wool. Mr.. Rice
thought tnat 81 would be about the
proper value to place on sheep.
After the above figures had been de-
termined upon there was a general
discussion upon other assessable prop
erty. The attorney general prom.
ised to furnish all the assessors with
instructions as to assessing banks
The state board will make a rule OF
the subject.

and by so doing enabled Mr.. Hilger to

ment of l,2OO, but a loss of about
81, 200 from the face of the protested
check. Cook & Parberry were given
a written guarantee OF 1925 per head

also stated that the Sun River Sheep

GOD BLESS POOR GILT EDGE.

Sad and dismal is the tale l now relate to
you,
It's all about Tim Collins and the Gilt
Edge Mining crew;
They started out for Great Falls with the
bullion in their hack,
bring them back.
God bless poor Young and Dance; their
grub has run ashore,
They turned the men out in the street and
closed the hotel door.
II it had not been for Young and Dance
what would we've all come to?
We'd had to roll our little beds, for we had
no place to chew.
little Butcher Bill;
Many "a beef and many a hog for the miners
he did kill;
But when he went to- get his pay he got it
Iva the neck,
For they wrote him out in n bold PLAN
hand a worthless Gilt Edge cheek.
Old Ammon, he came in to pay with n lot
OF dollar bills,
He talked the boys so full OF chaff it leaked
out at their sills;
For this they paid full ten per cent. the
ninety glad to get,
And soon he flew for parts unknown, we
guess he's flying yet.
The merchants then of Lewistown made a
bold stab for their pay,
But Ammon with his bag of wind and the
bullion got away;
He left one night at three O'Clock and drove
at breakneck gait
And as he passed through Lewistown he
told them they could wait.
Patiently we're waiting here in the deep
and drifting snow,
We hope thai bunch grass soon will come,
for our grub is getting low;
No more the whistle now is heard up at the
Gilt Edge mill;
No more Maloney tells the boys to drill,
We terriers drill"
God bless us one and all, the winter has
been hard,
We pray that he will deliver us from such
men as Sherard;
We hope the mill will soon start up, a full
crew in the mine,
And when we hear the whistle blow, well
all fall into line.
