Two Queer Friends.

"Doc' and "Spot" are certainly as
odd a pair of chums as one could wish
to see. Doc is a big fat gander and
Spot is a lazy, old coachdog, both be-
ing owned by Mr.. Fred Hard of Sioux
City, Iowa. 1t is because Doc was
reared with Spot for his only compan-
ion, except a brood of chickens, since
he was a fuzzy gosling, that the two
are such fast friends that when Spot
goes securing the alley for stray bits OF
food Doc waddles close at his heels and
sQuats beside the old dog when Spot
grows tired and stretches out in the
sun for a nap.
Doc was Matched with a dozen little
chicks, but has always shown a strong
dislike for other fowls and also for all
dogs but Spot. When a tramp canine
comes sneaking about the premises
Doc flies into a rage. One dog fell
asleep on the sidewalk and Doc caught
his tail in his bill and gave it a vicious
bite.
But Doc is a gay old gander and
takes delight sometimes in nipping the
tail of his chum. The gander waits
patiently until the stiff old dog falls
asleep and begins to snore, and then
Doc quietly grabs the tip of Spots tail
with his broad bill and pinches so hard
that the dog wakes with a startled
yelp. Doc seems delighted and curves
his neck and calls "Hoyonk!" at the
top of his voice. He does this trick
over and over again.
Doc has many friends among the
children and allows them to drag him
around by the leg, seeming to enjoy
the joke as much as they. When tired
of playing with Spot he devotes his at
tention to the children in the block
and follows them around as best he
can. When they are playing hide and
go seek" Doc becomes such a nuisance
that he is tied by one leg to tree, for
when the children run for hiding places
Doc waddles as fast as he can after
them; but he is so slow that when 1T"
has counted 100 Doc is not yet out OF
sight, and cit" only has to follow him
to find the children.
OF late Doc has been kept prisoner.
He had grown too fond OF beer. It had
become custom with him to walk into
a neighboring saloon, cock his head
on one side and call ''Ho-yonk" at the
bartender and keep it up until a glass
of beer was set down before him. Hav-
ing satisfied his thirst he would go
bask in the sun. Two glasses of beer
made Doc tipsy, and that he might not
lose his good reputation Mr.. Hard de-
cided to take temptation out of his way
and lock him into a small yard. A
Snowman offered $50 for this gander.

President NJ Stanley Robson, Of
the Cleveland club, will advocate at the
next meeting Of the National League
the establishment of a school for it's
umpires. The Cleveland magnate con-
tends that the expense attendant upon
the thorough training and education OF
the members of the staff in their du-
ties will be nominal in comparison to
the benefits the league will derive from
their increased efficiency. The umpire
problem is as far from solution this
season as it ever was. The double UNI
was expected Of it, but it is an i'm
provement in so far as it divides the
duties of the onerous position and per-
mits the plays to be more closely
watched. There has been an advance
ment in all the departments of the
game except umpiring, because there
has been intelligent training in them
under a competent instructor. Man
ayers make ball teams because they
give their players the benefit of their
instructions, and If Hanlon, Selee or
Tebeau finds that a member of his
team can not put in practice the up
to-date ideas, he is dropped and more
tractable and keen-witted man secured
to take his place. Thousands of dol
lars are spent each season by the Ma
tional League clubs in preparing their
players for a championship race, the
success Of which is dependent in
great measure upon the capacity Of the
corps of umpires selected to act as ar
biters and enforce the rules under
which these games are to be played.
These umpires are ordered by Presi-
dent Young to provide themselves with
blue uniforms, report in certain cities
Of the circuit the day before the sea-
son opens, notify the president of the
League at whist hotel they are stop
ping, and enter upon the discharge of
their duties with the rules as their
guide Mr.. Robson claims that ig-
norance of the rules is the chief cause
OF the incapacity of the umpires, whose
personal integrity is unquestioned.

Plans for Junior Workers.

Superintendent, do not talk too
much. Your talk should be chiefly to
set the children to thinking and talk
ing.
Junior meetings should be held by

distance, lead the meetings wisely and
well. II any are tmtd, az all vii be
at first, yoke them together two by
two, and so let them lead, dividing
the work between them.
B1ackbo work is good. especially
II you can get the children themselves
to do it; and this, with little home
practice, can be accomplished more
often than you think. Put your own
work on the board while you are
talking. 1t will be crude, of course,
but better a rough picture drawn be-
fore the children's eager eyes, than a
very fine picture presented complete.
To get the Juniors to read their BIZ
hes at home, make up the meetings
occasionally with thoughts from the
daily readings. Divide the society into
six parts. All in the first section will
bring a sentence each on the Monday
daily reading, all in the second sec
ton on Tuesdays, and so on. At the
meeting first have the daily reading
read and then the thoughts On it.
Have the Junior society give an oc-

Il Jonah In Your Bible1

The first evening Of his vacation q
student sat in the parlor at home, CON
versing with his father, when the lat
ter said: MY son, how are they
treating the old Bible at the universaty
these days?''
They honor II Just - muc1 q
they did in your college dys, In
asine, father; at least, I have head
nothing to the contrary
DO they still accept q in its en-
ttrety as the word of Godf'
Eyes, as far as I am aware"
''They still believe in the PentateucA
and the whole Of Isaiah. in Daniel ana
Revelation?'
81 think So"
"Wel1, how about Jonah-do they
still consider it an authentic nara
tive?"
"Jonah-why, can't say that they
still cling to Jonah, father. Is Jonah
in all the editions Of the Bible?'
Certainly, my boy, and I shall be
compelled to consider worry seriously
the question of your return to an in
stitution that dares to repudiate any
portion of the Word Divine"
'But, father, are you sure that 10
nah is in all modern editions Of the
Bible? Is it in yours?''
''Is it in mine? I assure you that no
vestige of the sin of Jehoiakim could
ever appear in my home. I want q
whole Bible or none at ALL"
''But, father, let me see the book of
Jonah. Your earnest words have
aroused my interest"
The book was produced-the old
copy that the father had been reading
Cor many years, every page in the
Psalms, the gospels and the epistles
soiled by frequent handling. But in
vain they searched for Jonah. After
turning over the leaves of the Old
Testament a number of times the old
gentleman repeated in order the Iames
Of the prophetic books, but still Jonah
could not be found
Father" said the young man, do
not get angry, but come here" As he
spoke he held the book Ut der the light
and it was evident that the two leaves
containing Jonah had been cut out
with sharp knife.
Father, pardon me, but I cut out
those leaves three years ago, and yet
you did not miss them. Now, father,
was Jonah in your Bib1e?"
The fathers face revealed peculiar
mental struggle, but he. answered: IT
see it, my son. There has been no
Jonah in my Bible for three years"
Friend, how is it with you? You
have been scoring Jehoiakim for using
the knife upon the Word. You have
no mercy TO- those who mutilated the
dear old Book, but have you a whole
Bible? Is Habakkuk In your edition?
When did you read Nahum? Are you
acquainted with Obadiah? A Bible
neglected is a Bible mutilated.

An ACQUISITION to Journalism.

n 7 EWsPAPERDoM must again doff
M it's hat to the New York Jour
nal. The line of novelties car
ried by that enterprising newspaper is
ineXhaustible. Some people might think
that sooner or later, at some time or
other. it would reach the limit-but it
won't. There may be more things in
heaven and earth than are dreamt of
by the makers of the Sunday Journal,
but we doubt it. At any rate, though
the soil has been industriously worked
for years and brought forth many mar
Vicious crops, it gives no indica ton of
exhaustion.
The chief feature of the Journals
colored supplement of last Sunday is
the Duke of Manchester, "who joins the
Journals staff" There Is picture of
the young duke, with his ancestral cas-
ties and hills and dales and forests in
the background, the whole being en-
titled "One Of the most promising peers
Of England the head of a most ancient
and distinguished ducal family, half
American on his mothers side, selects
journalism as his profession" There is
also an interview, several columns long
with the duke, in which he expresses
his views on the Boer war, on sports.
on the United States of America, on
the influence of woman, on acting, on
journalism and on divers and sundry
other themes of contemporaneous hu-
man interest. On another page of the
same issue of the Journal is published

the duke had with Andrew Carnegie.
There is picture of the duke and Mr..

the stage, must be elevated, and if this
isn't elevating it to the top notch what
is? To grace editorials and local items
with coats of arms is a new thing TO
American journalism, but the public
will be quick to appreciate it. The in
novation may cause some disturbance
in the inner circles of journalism, but
the public is not supposed to know any
thing about that. How we poor devils
who have TO write on our merits, with

to us. But that is talking shop. The

The Special School Tax.

IN the Standards special correspond
ence from Livingston this morning
will be found an item that will be
of interest to those who have followed
the special school tax question since
it has been under discussion. This item
gives a bit of official correspondence
bearing upon this subject, that has
passed between the treasurer of Park
county and Commissioner Fernald of
the Northern Pacitic's tax depart
mkent.
The county treasurer having present.
ed the local situation as regards the
school tax, Mr.. Fernald writes that
his company, by direction of it's presi-
dent, will pay it's proportion of the
special school tax In any district where
tWo-thirds of the other taxpayers do
the same. Mr.. Fernald says: "rhe
company feels that it should not be
expected to pay this illegal tax unless
the other taxpayers generally pay it,
but is willing to share any just burden
of taxation with other taxpayers" This
decision on the part of the Northern
Pacific company will greatly simplify
the problem of keeping open the
schools where special taxes have been
levied in the manner which the SUI
preme court has decided is unconsti-
tutional
There are many districts and the Liv-
ingston district is one Of them, where
the Northern Pacific company pays
large proportion of the school tax and
It's determination not to evade this
payment through legal bubbles and
subterfuges will be gratifying news to
many of these districts, where the
maintenance of schools depends largely
upon the payment Of the amount rep
resented by the special taxes.
In all of the larger cities Of the state,
with the single exception of Butte, the
public schools cannot be maintained
this year, it is said, unless the sum
represented by the special school tax
is raised. This is being done in some
cities by subscription, while in others
the taxpayers are turning in this spe-
cial tax as usual, even though 1t has
been declared unconstitutional. In Liv-
ingston but one taxpayer has refused
to pay this tax. In Hamilton nearly
every one is paying.
Elsewhere, other arrangements have
been made that will prevent the threat
ened closing of the schools. In every
city that is affected the matter is one
of great Importance and this latest
contribution to the discussion of the
question is of more than passing inter-
est.

" the interest taken in it by the
/ Montana public is a measure of
the difference there is between the
service in which the First Montana en-
gagged and the service for which, few
| months ago, new recruits were enlisted.
The news was deeply interesting. 1t
described an engagement of last Satur-
day, near San F'aben, as lone of the
sharpest that has taken place during
the war" The opposing forces We're
about equal in numbers; the Thirty
third infantry had the brunt of the
fight; the regiment suffered the loss of
five men killed and twelve men wound
ed, the death roll including, in addition,
the name of Major John A. Logan. He
was the son Of this countrys Logan
whose name is held in high honor.
The point is that the Thirty third is
the regiment that was recruited in a
group of states of which Montana is
one. AT least, it was proposed at the
outset to raise the regiment in and
near the Rocky Mountain region. In
this state the recruiting officers
drummed up men, but the responses
We're few-the Standard does not recall
at this moment just how many men
Montana contributed.
At any rate, the Thirty-third is the
regiment that is supposed to represent
Montana's share in the enlistment, yet
| we venture to say that very small
| percentage of the Montana public, read
| ing yesterday mornings news of the
severe engagement near San Fabian,
had in mind the fact that the Thirty
third includes Montana's contingent.
BY the way, the outcome of this bat
tie will start comment. We defeated
the Filipinos, as we always do. But
our loss was severe, unusually so, when
account is taken of the fact that as
the cable dispatches say, the contending
forces were of about equal numerical
strength. Let us hope that the island
ers are not getting to be better marks
