| believe the reason so many peo-
pie do not get what they want III
this world is that they do not want
it hard enough. Perseverance is a
rare quality. Many people have
ability along certain lines, but lack
earnest striving and application.
II little struggle and then the
gamo is thrown up in despair
But olong for II thing so strongly
that obstacles can be thrown aside,
Encouragement ignored, is the ba-
sis of all achievement. Anything
really wor!h having in this world
is dear. if we would only stop
dreaming and longing and set ear
ncstly to work to acquire the coveted
thing, be il physical, mental or
moral, it would be in our posscssioE
much sooner.
The height. by great men reached and kept
Wore not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
We're toilnI upward in the night.

Tie Quality of Tact.

Tact is not dishonesty, says an
American writer. Ii does not moan
the suppression of the truth nor
the expression Of an untruth but it
does mem tho withholding of gratu-
itous di,,grcomcnts from rgu-
mcnts IN which they are quito SUI
perllUous; it also means the effort
to induce an agreement kindly
when possible, and it an agreement
is imp1ssIh!a it demands gracious
acceptance Of opposing views. Tact
cannot be said to DO synonymous
with policy; tact is always honest
and policy cannot invariably be
said to have that distinguishing
mark. Young Woman.

HELENA, Feb. 19.-The senate held two

consumed in routine work and the first
reading of house bills. Governor REX
ards sent in the names of o. +. Goddard
of Billings and II. G.. Young of Helena as
members of the state board of education.
In executive session Goddard's nomina-
ton was confirmed.
AS to Professor Young, it was said he
had manifested too deep an interest in
the school book war and had been ac-
cused of taking an undue interest in be-
half of one of the publishing concerns.
The nomination was referred TO the edu-
cation committee. Senate bills to create
a state board of health, to compel owners
of irrigating bitches to keep the same in
repair. and house bill No. so, relating to

and which are noted above, were re-
ceived and referred to their appropriate
committees. The senate then adjourned

The senate judiciary held an important
meeting this afternoon. 1t was decided
to report unfavorably on senate bill 63,
providing for commission to help out
the supreme court on the business which
is behind on the docket. The committee
also decided to report favorably on senate
bill 65, to change the law in regard to the
public administrator. Under the code
any creditor is entitled to administration
before the public administrator.
Senate bill No. 45 will be favorably rec-
commended. 1t makes tho statutory pc
riod of redemption of property sold for

provided in the codes. This period of 3G
months conforms with the present law.
1t makes the penalty l per cent. per
month instead of "A total penalty of % per
cent. as provided by the codes.
The committee decided to recommend
for passage senate bill No. 60. This bill
provides n remedy for the unlawful levy
ing and collection of taxes, and gives the
right to any person who thinks a tax ille-
gal to pay the same under protest and
then to start an action against the county
or municipality to recover the amount
paid. If the court finds that the money
was unlawfully collected, it will enter
judgment for the amount with interest
and cost. Upon presentation of the judg
ment to the proper officers warrant
shall be drawn in payment thereaf. This
will supersede the remedy for injunction
and all other remedies in such cases.

HAYWAR tbs TRIAL.
1t is Said the Defense scored Quite a Hit
Yesterday.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 19.-Edward Good
sell, Chicago dental student, was put on
the stand in the Hayward murder trial to-
day for redirect examination. he testified
that he had usually been Harry Hayward's
companion when he came to Chicago to
gamble and had seen him lose $1,000 at
one time.
Frank Erhart, who was summoned by
his brother when the body was found,
swo-e he found in the dirt near where the
body lay the heel mark and then the too
mark of a lady's shoe. There was also n
trace where n foot was dragged to where
the body lay. This evidence went to show
that Mss Ging's body was pushed out of
the buggy feet first instead of head first,
as Blixt testified.
George Grindall was an important wit
ness for the defense. He was standing
on FIRST avenue north, between Fourth
and Fifth streets, at 8 o'clock, or there
abouts, on the night of the rlurder.
Standing a short way from him was

ness, pointing to Attorney Sweetze
Grindall saw Miss Cling drive up. The
man he had seen waiting there entered
the buggy with her and they drove away.
The description given by Grindall of the
man who joined her does not at all fit
Harry Hayward.
There was a wordy war between the
lawyers over GrindalPs testimony, each
side intimating that the other was manu-
featuring evidence.

The Day Was Spent on Matters OF No
Great Public Interest.
WASHINGTON, Feb 19-In the house to-
day the senate amendments to the house
bill TO authorize the Oklahoma Central
railroad TO construct n railroad through
Oklahoma and tho Indian Territory were
agreed to. \ general resolution was
adopted authorizing the secretary of the
navy to donate certain cannon to the Ore
gon State Soldiers home. Bills were also
passed as follows: To prevent transpor-
tation of merchandise in bond through
the United states into tho free zone of
Mexico; to retire Col. Don Carlos Buell. of
the United States army as n brigader
general; to authorize the Wisconsin & Du-
lutn Bridge company to construct Uridgo
across tho ST. Louis river, betwen the
states of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Consideration of the naval appropria-
ton bill was then resumed, the pending
question being the decision OF the chair
(O'Neill of;Massachusetts) on the.point of
order raised by Sayers against an item in
the bill authorizing the secretary of the
navy to enlist, at his discretion, 1900 adj
ditional seamen with which to man the
new ships. The chairman announced his
decision overruling tho point of order.
Sayers appealed from the decision of
the chair. The chair was sustained, 147
TO 100.
An amendment was offered by Springer
authorizing the detail of any retired off,
Ger of the navy or marine corps upon his
own request, without additional compen-
sation, to act as teacher in any college or
school, and it was agreed to. The COM
mittce of the whole arose informally and
the senate amendments to the agricult-
ural appropriation bill were disagreed to
and the bill sent 10 conference.
Mr.. Sayers' amendment to strike out
the provision authorizing the enlistment
of 1000 additional seamen was lost, Il to
81. He then moved to substitute for il n
provision authorizing the secretary of the
navy to assign as many officers and SOL
diers of the marine corps to active duty
on the secondary batteries of the warships
as he might deem necessary. The COM
mittee arose temporarily in order to give
Mcmillan, from the ways and means
COMMITTEES, an opportunity to present tho
conference report on the joint resolution
to extend the time for making income tax
returns. Tho report was agreed to and
the naval bill was again taken up. At
