Prof. J. G.. Park, Ada. Ohio, in
structor in English grammar, Logic,
Mental and Moral Philosophy in the
Ohio Normal University, has pub
lished an English grammar which is
receiving the highest commentator
of educators all over the United
States, and promises to supplant the
works of older grammarians. 1t
does not come within our province
to discuss its m~eritorious features,
but we are led from personal knowl-
edge of the very able author, to
give it this mention and to recon-
mend it to the teaching profession
Of Montana. All who have not ex-
amined it should procure a copy and
he convinced that it is the work of a
master.
Miss Estelle Reel, state superin-
tendent of public instruction for
Wyoming writes for it a brilliant
and favorable criticism.

The camp of Clancy is rather qui-
ct, although one of the mines resum-
ed work last week. There is no gain
saving that the miners of that camp
have made a heroic stand in n cause
as ri righteous as any ever undertaken
We sincerely hope to see business
start up with its original life in that
camp, and to see the rock stand, upon
which the producers prosperity is
built. When a man has earned "A
dollar, there is no earthly power
outside himself alone shall dictate to
him where and how the dollar shall
be spent.

Advice to Young Men.

Young man, dost thou go abroad
at night and rush the GROWER and
perambulate with the femininer?
Dost thou whoop EN- up with the
boys and figure for the substance of
the jackpot, and bank the shekels
against the very slippery tiger?
Art thou q guzzler of beer and n
player of cards?. Dost thou suck a
10 cen cigar and hast thou lost thy
grip on ways that are right and
wisdom that is good in the world.
Verify, | say unto thee, if thou art
in II bad row of stumps, it will not
be long before thou dost moi know
thy name is pants. Thy heels will
fly up ere long and thou will wake
10 find that thou hast fallen into the
soup. Keep thine eye on the gun,
and monkey not with the intoxicat-
ing juice of the bug. Steer widely
from the man with the aces and in
the ripening years of life thy pock-
cts will be full of the collateral of
the earth, while those who mind not
these commandments are partaking
of the lunch which is free."-Brick
Pomeroy.

The Forsythe Times gets off the
following, which it says was related
by II certain railroad man. As the
story goes, a young lady was at the
Billings street crossing while the
trainmen were doing some switching.
AS the train was backing up, one of
the brakemen called to the other:
slump onto her as she comes by;
rnn her down behind the elevator
and cut her in two and bring the
head end up to the depot. 1t is
said that the young lady jumped up
and down and yelled murder as loud
rs she could.

A Long Bearded Turk.

Musa Kitssolua, a Koroshan Turk,
who was exhibited in the large cities Of
Austria, Italy and Germany in 1896
and who is now making a tour Of the
cities Of western Europe, is a human
freak, wonderful only on account Of the
enormous length Of his beard. In 1898
the beard of this follower Of the proph.
ct was only 4 feet and 4 inches in
length. Today it is 9 feet and 8 inches
in length. Only n other. human beard

The last general message of presi-
dent Cleveland has been read by al.
most everybody in the land. 1t is
not very different from his other
messages except in its undue, tire
some length. 1t p%leases the foreign
er, everywhere except in Cuba. 1t
is praised by the few sound money
democrats of America; farther than
this it's recommendations as Il whole
are not appreciated. 1t contains
nothing of what is termed Jingoism,
and in its foreign policy is decidedly
tame. Regarding interior affairs,
post offices. states' militias, etc, i,
offers some very good suggestions,
but on the whole it partakes Of that
same clammy stiffness which always
ch~aracterizes the public letters of its
bigoted author. Mr.. Cleveland is
delighted over the success Of the re.
publican party, and withal seems
thoroughly self-satis6ed with the
results of his own administration.

Three specimens of diamonds have
been sem east from Philipsburg, and
experts pronounce them to be the
clear stuff. Now the experts can
not learn the whereabouts of the SEN

ipsburg Mail knows all about them
and won't give the snap away. He
