Foreigners,
Woman can travel alone in the New
England states without the slightest al.
prehension of anything disagreeable.
She is severely left alone except when
assistance is necessary. Then she will
receive il promptly. No protestations
are made-no pretenses that it is pleas

ally replied to simply with a nod
The New Englander is neither warm
nor gallant, but he is civil. He recog-
nizes an unknown woman's right to ask
question Of man and receive a civil
answer Often a man will walk some
distance to show the road or point out
the street that is being looked for.
Even at the railway stations persons
in uniform give the requisite informa-
tion as to trains time of starting and
whatever tf uestioner wants to know

car man seems to offer a woman a
seat as a matter of course and instantly
turns his back on her. If an unknown
woman thanks a civil New England
stranger with smile for any courtesy,
he freezes her i'll way peculiar to him
self. Truth to tell, he is seldom obliged
to do this by New England women, but
a native Of elsewhere sometimes beams
upon him as token of gratitude and
ever after wonders what dreadful thing

at her, they address her gently, they

to demand decent treatment and fight
her way, but never was there place in
our country where she receives so little
consid sration, is so rudely treated by
some masculine fellow travellers or
with such offensive gallantry by others;
where officials whose duty it is to re-
ply to questions often either refuse to do
so or answer as they would trouble

A SMILING FACE.

'Tis nice to wear smiling face e
And laugh our troubles down, p
For all our little trials wait
Our laughter or our frown.
Beneath the magic of a smile
Our doubts will fade away
AS melts the snow in early spring
Beneath the sunny ray.
'Tis nice to make worthy cause
By helping it our own;
To give the current of our lives
A true and noble tone.
'Tis nice to comfort heavy hearts
Oppressed with dull despair
And leave in sorrow darkened lives
A CLEAN Of brightness there.
'Tis nice to give helping hand
To eager, earnest youth;
To watch, with all their waywardnes5
Their courage and their truth;
To strive, with sympathy and love,
Their confidence to win.
'Tis nice to open wide the heart
And ''let the sunshine in"

He was killed by collision with a woman

DUBOIS WILL BOLT.

Boise, Idaho, May 9.-The Evening
Mail has created political sensation by
announcing that Senator Dubois has writ
ten letter to Hon. D. A. Penn, of Boise,
one of the leading Republicans of the
state, in which he states that he will not
support a Republican presidential NOM
inee unless he is free silver man. The
Mail prints the following extract from
the letter:
I'm the event the ST. Louis conven-
ton adopts a gold bug or straddle plat
form or dominates gold bug or straddle
candidate, shall bolt the convention
1t also gives the following as the SUBJ
stance of another statement in the letter:
II believe that have sufficient personal
following in Idaho, added to the follow
ing which will get from other parties on
the silver movement, to defeat the Re-
publican party in Idaho"
Dubois friends here are much exer-
cised over the declaration. Straight ND
Republicans who are expected to go to
the Pocatello convention on the 18th say
under such declaration they will bolt
the convention there if Dubois friends
succeed in securing the adoption of the

considerable Populist literature and the
result has been, 1 have stopped taking
everything for granted that is printed in
Republican papers, but am using my own
judgment little. And when a fellow
once gets out of the traces it is quite easy
to see the mistakes these Republican
EDITORS sometimes make. For instance:
Four years ago they told US that we were
prosperous. and though it was hard for us
to make both ends meet. we believed them
and were happy. Now they say we are
not prosperous '(when discussing the tariff; ;
when they are talking finance they say
that we are) and we again believe them
and arc miserable or happy, as the case
may be. When we growled at the low
price of produce. they told us that every
thing else was in proportion. Let us look
around little and see if that is fact.

WHY MONTANA CEASES TO TRADE
WITH THE TWIN CITIES.

The people of Minnesota, and especially
the editors of the Sound money" organs,
seem to think 1t unreasonable on the part of
Montana business men to desire to break
off trade with the Twin Cities. They think
our people should be more tolerant Of
difference Of opinion on financial Ques-
tons. That the members of the old par
ties should submit with good grace to the
rule Of the majority of their respective
parties. no matter how much the policy Of
the majority may harm them. If they
will but stop and consider for moment,
what hostile financial legislation is now
doing for Montana, and this same legis-
lation being upheld and its continuance in
sisted upon by the leading newspapers of
the two cities; they would no longer won
der that We prefer to trade with our
friends rather than with those who are
disposed to aid in our robbery.
The output Of silver in Montana during
the past year. with bar silver at about

it brought $1.29 per ounce. Montana'e loss

nesota from shipping her iron and lumber,
as well as her surplus wheat, would she

say. You outnumber US in Minnesota,

A North Dakota farmer who was in ST..
Paul today says the correspondents and
newspapers, either through ignorance or
willful Misrepresentation, are by no means
giving the actual situation in the spring
wheat belt of Northern Minnesota and
North Dakota. He says that very little
seeding has been done IN Minnesota, and
none, or practically none, in North Dakota
The entire country is literally soaked, and
animals cannot walk in the fields. In ten
years experience he has never known the
situation to be so serious for spring wheat,
and if North Dakota and Minnesota thresh
one-third as much wheat as they did last
year they VIII do well.

Lake, Grand Forks, Hillsboro and other

lily all last night, and the forecast is for
