KATIE PUTNAM.

A crowded house greeted Katie Put
nam-Montana' same little favorite-
and her excellent company at McDcn I
AIDS opera house last Monday night,
and you bet she and her company
turned away well pleased audience att
the close of the fourth act in "Mar-
gerry, or the Old Lime Kiln indeed
she did, and it ism t the first time nei
ther for it takes Montana little KatieI
to please Montana audience. To at 4
tempt to mention the different char
acters separately would be IA task, for|
justice could hardly be done them.
They are all good, and on Monday|
night Katie and her company made the1
large audience feel cheerful and jolly ]
and then again sad; and especially
Katie; well she just made them feel in |
terested-like a bob tailed steer inl
flytime.
Katie seemed as young, if moi
younger, than she did years ago when
she used to make her regular trips I'd

great Britain. She could easily take
Canada but what would she want Of
Canada, whose conquest would convert
her population, not into loyal citizens,
but into enemies? She wants no AL
SAGE in her territorial domain.
1t is not to carry out schemes of terri
torial aggrandizement, not from any
lust of conquest or motive of gain that
our government has interposed to throw
the shield Of the Monroe doctrine over
the weak republic whose territory is
threatened with absorption by Great
Britain. We have remote interests, it
is true, and vital ones, at stake in the
establishment of that principle but it
is because we are interested in the
maintenance of the freedom and indie
pendence all of the South American re-
pnblics against all European aggres-
sim. The nations of the earth and
England herself will be compelled to
acknowledge and respect the high mo-
tives which make it incumbent upon
the United States to stand for this
vital principle of international law in
the Western hemisphere. But there are
a hundred ways to enforce that princi-
pie without resorting to war. So our
Canadian friends may possess their
souls in peace.

OUR HANDSOME SCHOOL
The Building Turned Over by Mr.
Chas. Suiter and Accepted
COMPLETE IN EVERY DETAIL
School Will Begin in Philipsburg s
COmmOdiOus Institution of Learn
ing Next Monday Morning.
COMPLETE IN EVERY DETAIL

AT the regular meeting of the school
board Tuesday evening, Mr.. Chas.
Suiter being present, stated that the
new school building had been COM
pleted and that he desired to turn the
same over to the district and requested
the school board to make an inspec-
tion of the building and to determine
whether the building had been built
according to the plans and specifca-
tions. The inspection was made by
the board and everything was found to
be done in good shape. There We're
some few little things that had been
overlooked, which included some paint
ing, which Mr.. Suiter said that he
would see was done. That gentleman
stated that if there was anything about
kthe premises that did not meet with
the satisfaction of the board he would
remedy the same if informed of the
fact. With the understanding that
the few things noted should be at
tended to, motion was made and
carried that the board accept the build
ing, which was acquiesced in by every
member of the board, all being pres
ent at the meeting. 1t was understood
mutually between, Mr.. Suffer and the
board that the penalty of $5 90 day
for fiftyfive days should be withheld
by the board Oh account Of the build
ing not being completed on the date
specified in the contract. This makes
a saving to the district Of $275OO. The
meeting was a harmonious one and
every detail Of the contract was talked
over and agreed upon in businesslike
way between Mr.. Suffer and the board
before any definite action of the board
was taken by motion
1t was also decided to commence
school next Monday and the janitor
was instructed to obtain assistance and
have the school building cleaned up
and ready for school by that time, as
the district had been without school
long enough and the board desired to
see it begin as soon as possible.
So next Monday morning, if nothing
unforeseen occurs, the pupils Of Philips
burg school district will enjoy the OPEN
ing Of sschool in one Of the very best
and most cOmmodious school buildings
in the state. With the excellent corps
of teachers which the board has
engaged the institution of learning, of
which every resident of the district
should feel proud, will begin tgm
which will undoubtedly prove of great
advantage to the youth of the district.
The corps of teachers will consist of
Prof. j. S. Clifford, Miss Annie H.
Price, Miss M. G. Ryan, Miss Avy
Short, Miss Madge Short and Mrs.
Eugene Smith.

ROCK CREEK MINES.
The Opening of the Roc., Creek ROAD
Means the Opening of Great
Mining Conutry.

Mining company, 2on Harvey creek il

mill was erected and operated long be

To a Misouiian reporter Mr.. Opp sal
that the Alps mill is now idle and ha

which carries from 6 to feet of fro
gold quartz, is looking better than eve|

will be put in operation early in til
spring. The Alps ore is not strictl|

with Frue vanners save 80 per cent d
the gold, the remainder going int

By the opening of the new Rod

The Cry Of 4 Babv.

The meaning Of the cry of baby is
q study of which will be taken up BY
some young physicians who will make
a speciality of children's diseases.
.Mothers can aid immeasurably, if
they will, said one of the young doc
tors. 81 was called in the other day
by a mother to prescribe for something
dreadful that she was convinced her
child was suffering from, and found it
to be too warm clothing and SO only
discomfort. In the nurses eyes, the
only remedy for any indicated discom-
fort on the part of the child is the bot
tie; If the baby cries it must be fed;
again, more feeding; if it worries. feed
it; If it is sick and nauseated, still Of
fer it milk. It may be too tired from
lying on one side, it may be too warm
or too cold, or have collie from an over
loaded stomach, or q half dozen 9th or
conditions may exist which forbid or
do not call for feeding.
SIT is the nurse or the mother,
whichever is the constant caretaker Of
an infant, who can learn, if she will,
to distinguish the little shades of mean
ing in a young child's cry"
1t is a fact well-known to physicians
that the cry Of a baby suffering from
cholera infantum is very indicative of
the progress Of the disease. A mother
was much surprised 10 be told by her
physician after the death of her first
born that, as he entered the hall door
on the occasion Of his first visit to bis
little patient and heard its cry, he
kne W there was little or no hope
"for,o he said, "that cry is one which
rings in doctors ears when once he
has heard it, and he quickly recognizes
it."
This mother found that the little
wall of agony rang in her ears too, for
when several years after another child,
lffered from the same disease, its first |
cry, quickly ident ifed by the unforget-
ting mother, sent hurry call to the
Office.
If the utterance of dumb beasts can |
be studied and understood, there is
hope for the baby, that most helpless

Famous Boys.

A Swedish boy fell out of a window
and was severely hurt, but with
clenched lips he kept back the cry Of
pain. The king, Gustavus Adolphus,
who saw the fall, prophesied that the
boy would make man for an emer-
gency; and so he did, for he became the
famous General Bauer.
A woman fell off the dock in Italy.
She was fat and frightened. No one
of the crowd of men dared to jump in
after her; but boy struck the water
almost as soon as she, and managed to
keep her up until stronger arms got
hold of her. Everybody said the DO y
was very daring, very kind, very quick,
but also very reckless, for he might
have been drowned. The boy was
Garibaldi, and If you will read his life
you will find these were just his traits
all through-that he was so alert that no
body could tell when he would make an
attack with his led-shirted soldiers; 80
indiscreet sometimes as to make his
fellow patriots wish he was in Guinea.
but also so brave and magnanimous
that all the world, except tyrants. loved
to hear and talk about him.
A boy used to crush the flowers to
get their color, and painted the white
side of his fathers cottage in Tyrol
with all sorts Of pictures, which the
mountaineers gazed at as wonderful.
He was the greatest artist, Titan.
An old painter watched little fell
low who amused himself making draw
ings Of his pot and brushes, easel and
stool, and said: "That boy will beat
me some day." So he did, for be was
Michael Angelo.
A German boy was reading a blood
novel. Right in the midst |
If it he said to himself: "Now, this
will never do. / get too much excited
,ver it; can't study so well after it.

,ut into the river. He was Fichte, the
great German philosopher.
