ToPIc.-Pure thoughts, pure words, pure
deeds--Math. xziii. 25-2s; Ps. Ii, 0-l0 IA tenn
perance tcpic-)
The life of a man is made M of his
thoughts, words and deeds. These are
not separate and distinct one from an
other, but are necessarily interdepend-
ent, and each expresses to a greater Or
less extent the character of the other
To have true, noble and pure life, there
fore, these three attributes Of the life
must each possess these characteristics.
There must necessarily be pure
thoughts, words and deeds If the person
be pure. The thoughts cannot be i'm
pure and the life pure 'As a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he" ga
good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit
nor an evil tree good fruit " The stream
must partake of the qualities Of the
fountain in which il has its source.
There may be an attempt to have the
outward life have the appearance Of
purity when impurity abides within.
Many like the Pharisees try to make
clean the outside of the cup and of the
platter, but within they are full Of ex-
tortion and excess. I" But God knows
the heart az well as the words and the
outward life, and any attempt to deceive
Him is a miserable failure, and He will
bring all who thus try to deceive Him
into Judgment.
Purity Of thought is the great neces-
sity to purity Of words and deeds. Sin
Is first conceived in the heart. Then IL
is expressed in words. and at the last
manifests itself in deeds. When David
had repented Of his sin and desired once
more to be upright before God, he did
we'll to pray, Create in me clean
heart, o God, and renew q right spirit
within me" The heart needed first Of
all to be cleansed before the life could
be what he desired. AS with David, 50
it is with all. If the life has been sim
full and we have repented Of our sin, we
should ask God first Of all to renew our
hearts. If the heart is right with God,
the words and deeds Of the life will also
be right with him.
1t is well to remember also that God
demands and expects entire purity
purity in the heart, in the speech and
in the behavior. In fact, he will be sat
isfied with nothing short Of this IN
the days Of Noah 'God saw that the
wickedness Of man was great in the
earth and that every imagination Of the
thoughts Of his heart was only evil con-
tinually. and He destroyed the world
because Of its sinfulness. Time and
again Christ denounced the Pharisees
for their hypocrisy-for making a show
Of godliness when the heart was wrong.
AS with the thoughts, so it is with our
words and deeds.
But how may the heart be pure so
that the words and deeds may be pure?
There is but one way. God alone can
purify the heart If He purges us, we
shall be clean; If He washes us, we
shall be white as snow. Resolutions,
reformation will not cleanse the heart
God only can do that.

play very important part in spring
millinery, alone and as backgrounds for
the unusual display of flowers. The vi
olet is greater favorite this season than
ever.
In one very exclusive establishment
saw a lovely bonnet. 1t was of mazarin
blue velvet, the brim made Of double
box plated velvet, and the crown was
conspicuous by its absence. In its place
was puffed crown of blue silk net In
the front were set two large variegated
cream and red carnations, and standing
up sharply above these two stiff bunohes
of the frosty green leaves of the plant.
This dainty bonnet was quite too de-
lightfully Frenchy. A very neat and
taking close bonnet was made of cardi-
nal velvet The front was bent in a
slight Stuart form, and roll of the
velvet of which the whole was made
was set around the edge. On the top
there was large irregularly shaped bow
of the velvet. On the right side, ut the
back, there was bunch of pink azaIias.
The effect of pink and cardinal is quite
novelty in color, but is very effective
and by no means garish or sharp.
The tea cap is here again. One says
tea cap, but it is worn for breakfast
cap also, at the wearer will. The most
of them are made of the lightest posi-
Bile material, with point esprit lace, or
in some cases fine old point, when the
wearer possesses it. Tulle. chiffon and
silk muslin, besides net and wide silk
laces, are all used for these caps. Some
have delicate little sprays of flowers
and others the ubiquitous osprey Ma
irons, however young. are privileged to
wear these airy little creations, but
young girls have not the right, but in
turn they have their opportunities, and
one Of them comes in the high Spanish
comb and the loops of hair above it.
This manner of dressing the hair is gem
orally ceded to the young, as not every
body can look well in that style of Golf

shape Of thick two toned satin duchess
The prevailing tint became that Of the
wild dove. The front breadth Tapped
over to the left side, and the waist cross
ed over surplice fashion under folded
scarf of heliotrope velvet Of the richest
shade. Down each side of the back there
was breadth Of heiotrope velvet, and
straps of this extended up over the
shoulders, and these formed the scarf in
front The center breadth was Of the
satin duchess, in one heavy box plait.
There were two enormous chased silver
buttons on the back and two more in
front, where it fastened. The sleeves
were plain balloon puffs, with stiff and
fiaring cuffs at the wrists, and these
were faced with velvet. There was a
high, faring collar made Of the velvet
doubled, above draped stock, with a
rosette in the back This gown was lin
ed throughout with pink taffeta. and
around tho bottom Of the skirt on the
inside there were three pinked ruf1es of

much larger than a dollar to hold a
bunch of crush roses or some other close

JOY AND PAIN.

Fair days would cease to be so rare and swest

We mind US of the woods. All, then we fain
Would rest among the shadows once againi
We long for winter. When the wild storms beat
Upon our heads we pine for summers heat.
There is no Joy without some loss or pain
To take life as we find it is the art
OF living well. All, let US not forget,
Though life be dark today, there may be yet.
When summer comes, much JOY for each sad

Perhaps God sends us trouble as test,
To see If lit will prove us at our best.

Livingston Enterprise: The request
made by the Cooke City miners, in the
resolutions adopted at Saturdays meet
ing, for better wagon transportation
through that portion of the Park ira
versed in reaching their mines. should
receive favorable consideration. Con-
gress, in setting apart the National
Park and sentimentalists in opposing
segregation of such portion as Is de-
sired for rail transportation TO the ex-
tensive mfn1ng region of the New
World district, has in a great measure
isofated these mine owners from the
outside world. They should therefore
receive congressional consideration by
appropriation for a passabie wagon
road to permit wagon freighting OF
ores and supplies until such time as
railroad transportation can be secured.

champion of organized labor. and OF

party. Mr.. Calderhead has felt the dis
pleasure OF our courts as they have
lent their power to coerce labor ard TO
suppress labor organizations, and from
that experience. he should be qualified
ito fight the battle along lines of posi-
BILE success.
IL is time that organized labor thor

their only weapon is the ballot, and
that their unions are comparatively
worthless without a political founda-

Bystander, succeeds in unifying the
hitherto discordant political elements

As to BIZ Gays Fate.

Livingston Enterprise: An effort is
being made at Butte to save Bill Gay
by inducing the governor to commute
his sentence to imprisonment for life.
These misguided people contend that
Gay was convicted more on his past
reputation than upon the evidence in
troduced at the trial. The reverse Of
this Is true. The Helena papers have
all along, whether Intentionally or
otherwise. furnished their readers with
columns of matter tending to show that
Gay was being prosecuted and that his
life prior to his moving to Melgher
county had been above reproach. They
even enlisted Capt. Jack Crawford.
