A Happy Mother,

Mr.. d. L. Moody tells this story OF
a manly boy: There was once a
boy in college and he was about to
graduate. He wrote back to the
farm to his mother to come. She
replied she could not do so. She
said her clothes We're worn and she
had no money to buy new ones for
the occasion. She had already
turned the skirt once and it was rag
ged on both sides. He asked her to
come anyway. The old woman went,
dressed in her best, which was not
stylish. The commencement was in
ID fashionable church. The son was
prOuder Of his mother than of all his
hOnOrs. He walked with her down
the aisle to the center of the church
and saw her into one of the best
seats. There were tears in her eyes
and she burst out weeping when her
son came out and pronounced the
valedictory. The president pinned a
badge on his coat. The young man
left the stage and went directly to his
mother. He took off the badge and
pinned it to her dress. There were
tears in his eyes, and than h4 bent
over and kissed the wrinkled cheek.

INNER YOUTH.

The past is gone, yet thought doth ever
keep
For us in guarded regions of the mind
A fairy kingdom, where no chilling
wind
May blast the blooms that crowd her
valleys deep.
There suns are cloudless, there is bliss
full sleep,
And there is tiptoe joy and laughter
kind,
And love that only to the blind is
blind,
And there ale hearts that know not
how TO weep.
o inner youth! Let age sift down his
SHOWS;
They shall but fall upon the outer
man;
Within, the soul thy pleasant pathway
knows,
Since fate may not our heavenly
dreams destroy,
And walks, forsooth, beneath no bit
ter ban,
And only CLEAN where we have gar
nered joy.

Poor Way to Economlze.

man. 1t was an OF public
sentiment accorded to IA few men in
q lifetime, and should have been
sacredly cherished by the recipient.
But Mr.. Hartman was not equal to
the attitude to which he was reared.
His limited intellectual capacity
could % grasp the idea that
Difference was accorded to the cause
he represented, and that the demon
stration was not intended as a
Dedication of the man.
The event proved the climax in his
life. In the honors accorded him
were sown the seeds OF his own de-
cay. From thence he believed him
self to be a political monarch whose
word was law. He felt all those
dangerous symptoms that affected
the bull-frOg which attempted to
swell up to the proportions of the
OK. He forgot that humility was a
virtue and arrogance a crime. He
attempted to reap the harvest of
honor before the fruit was ripe.
Like thousands of other men who
have been projected into public life
by the catapult of circumstances, he
lacked the breadth of mind and the
depth of intellectually and manhood
to maintain the elevation he had
attained.
1t was the same old story. Like
the drunkard who seeks to sustain
his failing energies with more drink,
SO the small bore politician seeks to
maintain a position before the
public, that is beyond his merits and
above his deserts, by political
intrigue, deceit and fraud. MIR.
Hartman fell an easy prey to design
ing men. In an atmosphere of in
trigue he found his natural level and
the habitat for which the scrawny
architecture Of his arrow soul had
lodged. The history of his move
ments is known. Step by step he
has played the role OF the political
blackleg, and used the confidence re-
posed in him to betray the sacred
interests of his friends.
He set in motion n vile conspiracy
to rob his former associates in the
Silver Republican party of the right
to place upon the official ballots OF
this state the man OF their choice for
the congress of the United States.
He has invoked the acknowledgements
of the law in an attempt to force
upon the ticket the name of a candi-
late who has become Objectionable
to every voter who believes i'm honest
politics and the rights Of man. BY
such acts has Mr.. Hartman aroused
in this community the deep con-
tempt which honest men have felt
for traitors since history was young
and the world was new.
There are crises in the lifetime of
every man when it requires courage
to he a gentleman; but it requires
small ability tn be n traitor and
carry out the program OF fraud.
Presumably it was the feeling
against Hartman in South Butte
that led to the unfortunate and de-
plurable exhibition of hanging him
In eiligy near the scene OF his former
triumphs.

of silver was not as good, or OF the

tried to avoid a direct answer by tel
ling some little story, but the appli-

silver bullion and have it coined into
silver dollars, hut did not tell the
audience that the stamp on the gold
bullion did not increase it's value, but
on the silver bullion it increased it's
value forty per cent-why, because
the Republican party says all money
shall be as good as gold.

Hartman at TIBET.

MIR. EDITOR: 1 wish you could
have heard the Hon. Charles Hart
man at Tibet last night in a political
speech-not 80 much to champion
the cause of silver as to vindicate his
course in congress. He was very
emphatic in saying that anyone
could ask him any question they
chose-it would not disturb him in
the least, but as his discourse related
to his own personal political course,
nobody seemed anxious % make any
interruption. But when he tried to
