John Sheldon, charged with beating and

gave evidence that in their opinion the
position was worth 500 per month, and
that Deputy Green should receive this
amount This morning the commission
ers took the matter up and decided by
a unanimous vote that an allowance or
5000 per annum only should be made.
The position taken by the members of
the board Is that the duties of the office
do not at all times require the attention
of two attorneys, and, in fact. the
opinion was freely expressed that one
could, most of the time. attend to the
office alone. This being their conclu-
SIGN. they determined on what they
chose TO call half pay as sufficient TO
allow the deputy county attorney, ana
accordingly fixed his salary as hereto
fore at $50 per month.
Several road and contract matters
We're taken up and disposed of. The
session will in all probability not end
before next Tuesday.

Great Falls Dec 10.-The board of
county commissioners to-day disposed
of the matter of salary allowance to the

Bits of Truth and Wisdom.

Aim for nothing less than the
best.
Prayer leads to everything that
is good, and away from every
thing evil.
The essence of selfishness con-
sists in the determination to have
your own way.
Much time is badly spent in
envylng others happiness of
which they are not possessed.
Don't express positive opinion
unless you perfectly understand
what you are talking about.
We often waste more energy in
the effort to avoid our duties than
1t would take to discharge them.
1t is more from carelessness
about the truth than from in
territorial lying, that there is so
much falsehood in the world.
Three things come not back,
says an Arab proverb the spoken
word, the discharged arrow and
the lost opportunity.
Pleasant smiles, CHEEKY greet
ings, tempers sweet under head
ache or a business care or the
children's noise, the ready bub-
bling over of thoughttulness Of
one another, and habits of smiling,
greeting, forbearing, thinking, in
these ways-it is these, above all
else, which makes ones home
happy place.
You may write vour name on
tablets more lasting than marble,
on the grateful memory Of human
hearts, which shall bless you
through eternity for the consola-
ton you brought them, when, in
their despair, they were ready to
curse God and die, for the timely
help which saved them not only
from suffering, bnt from sin.
