| OF his position. His natural temper il
therefore equable, his manners are quiet
TO the last degree, his life is one of exact
routine. As the leading or ranking pre-
late OF the land, the Roman authorities
look to him for the maintenance of order
| in the church in America, and, in a GER
| tain degree, hold him responsible for the
continuance of harmonious relations
among the different interests. 1t is he
whom they call upon for explanation in
time OF trouble, and for reasons in maxi
ing advance. Time does not hang heavily
on his hands, nor is anxiety a stranger in
his house. In fact, he might easily have
more extensive jurisdiction with less
anxiety, since it is not pleasant to hold
direct responsibility without direct control
over the circumstances. He is a clever
speaker, possessing a voice of peculiar
strength in its penetrating power, and can
be listened to with interest; he deals little
in sentiment, and has no power to express
deep emotion, presenting his opinions to
his hearers upon their merits rather than
upon his own. His knowledge and skill
IN the Latin language are considered SUI
perior. But above all accomplishments
OF mind or position, students of his career
place his tact in dealing wi h men, his
deXteriiy in steering clear of the rocks
that lie in wait for reputation. Compar-
ing his success and his years with his frai
form and retiring manners, men wonder
that he has achieved so great and endur-
ing fame.-Donohue's Magazine.

Eagle reviles They are the men who
are for the free coinage of silver by
international agreement if possible
by the independent action of the
United States if necessary. Free
coinage is bound to prevail When
the financial world is committed to it,
how ridiculous will be the plight of
the bigoted journals that are al
ways telling us that monometallism is
right and silver too plenty to be good
money.
Yet the reconciliation of silver
may not be speedily brought about,
public opinion in the great state, for
instance, in which the Brooklyn Eagle
is printed is not yet in the right light
respecting silver, although we think
there are as many free-colnage men in
New York to-day as there were aboli-
tionists in that state in Buchanan's
time, three years before President Lin
coin was inaugurated. And it seems
to us that the era of imbecile admins
tration in Buchanan's time has its
parallel in these stupid days of the
second Cleveland administration, days
when, with the currency question as
the uppermost issue, we have a
president whom his own party
will not follow and, at the
head of the treasury, man whose
own words and actions are in evidence
that he lacks conviction, as well as
knowledge, respecting national finance.

as if she would get along in this field
without a row. But she fell down. In
an OHIO town last week some women
decided to edit paper for the benefit
of a library association. All the wo.
men In town were willing to take hold
of the scheme. They were anxious.
The paper was to appear March z, but
1t will not appear at all, now This is
not because there was any lack of
material, but because there was too
much.
There were to be one hundred posi-
lions on the staff, ten of them heads
of departments. There were three
hundred willing women one day and
the next there were two hundred very
angry ones. Some Of these two hun
dred angry women had a pull and they
used it. They induced their husbands
and brothers and lovers to boycott the
female edition of the paper and the
boycott was successful The paper

This does not signify that the new
woman is failure. 1t simply demon
states to anxious man that the new

truth will crop out. Nobody is sorry
for this, either. The old style woman

Historic 0nnfana.

In a recent editorial, the Spokesman
RerieD makes the astonishing state
ment that old Fort Benton is the only
historic ruin in Montana. While the
importance and deep interest which
attaches TO this pioneer post are re-
allied by all who are familiar with its
history, there are other points in Mon
tana that share with Benton the honor
| of being monuments to the early COM
mercial enterprise of the men who
pushed on ahead of the skirmish line
of civilization and more than one
building, now in decay, which stands
as evidence of the unselfish zeal of the
early Christian missionaries who en-
tered this country, even prior to the
advent of the early traders.
ST. Mary's mission, in the heart of
the Bitter Root valley, was founded
and buildings erected there nearly ten
years prior to the construction of
Fort Benton. As the latter recalls the
risks which were taken by the traders
| in their greed for gain, so the mission
stands as monument to the self de-
NAL and sacrifice of the pioneer mis-
sionaries, who left everything that is
dear in life to bring the true religion
to the Indians who then held absolute
sway over this region. History pre-
sents no more sublime spectacle than
the establishing of this mission and.
among the points of int rest in Mon
tana, ST. Mary's is foremost
Near this mission, its adobe walls
m tal, I
bastions crumbling in ruins, stands all
that remains of old Fort Owen, which
though never of the commercial i'm
portance of Benton, still possesses his
toric interest. Built by Major Owen.
when all that white men knew of this
country was that it was a rich field for
trading enterprise, it afforded protec-
lection to the startled settlers in many
an Indian raid, notably during the
famous march of Chiefs Joseph and
Looking Glass. Farther up the valley
at Corvallis are the crumbling walls of
the sod fort erected at the time of the
Nez Perez raid by the settlers in that
section.
Below Fort Owen, are the blackened
ruins of the first saw mill erected in
the Rocky mountains, built by Father
Riyalli before the construction of
Fort Benton. The old fume which
furnished the power is still intact but
fire destroyed the mill several years
ago. Here, too, was the grist mill
which the heroic priest built for his
Indian charges, who even now refer
TO him affectionately as "The Old
Father"
The Gibbons battlefield in the Big
Hole, the ground made immortal by
the gallant Custer, old Fort Belknap
and the trading posts on the Little
Big Horn-lll these are connected in
timately with the history of the settle
ment of this region. No state in the
Northwest is richer in points of his
toric interest than Montana. There
are scores of places rich in stories of
daring and heroism that are mile
stones in the western advance of civil.
lzation and the state is proud of them.

DEAR OLD MOTHER,

| Day after day see her climb the stair.
My dear old mother to the attic room,
| As tho tryst too keep with some one there
She sits within the anse-scented gloom.
You are so young that you would smile to see
The queer old things her wrinkled hands IN
fold;
Moth-eaten, worn, and yet endeared to me.
Because she loves them so who now is old.
With dust upon her gown, her cap awry.
Silent she sits In her rIsh-bottomed chair,
Her dim eyes searching for the days gone by
Midst those old things that she has garnered
there.
To-day went to her. A summer rain
Fell softly on the shingles overhead.
spoke to her. she called me by the name
of one she loved, daughter long since dead.
With tears upon my cheeks I turned away;
A bit OF sllken hair was in her hand.
And as she smoothed it out heard her say:
81 forgot, but God Will understand.
"She was my child, and this her shining hair.
Sometimes seem almost to see her face,
We laid her In the earth, / think, somewhere,
have forgot, but God don't know the pace"
AS motionless stood there by the door,
heard, and yet heard not what she said:
a patch of sunlight lay upon the floor,
And soft the summer rain sung overhead.
The thought went through my heart how I
would miss
My mothers faltering football on the stair;
What II to-day could not stoop to kiss
That blessed face and sorrow-whitened hair
Could it be near, that empty. pulseless day?
For when it comes, God help the child she
bore),
And then put the chilling thought away,
Let down the latch and shut the creaking door
