the best people of our village it was

of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Aspiring, now
of Anaconda, and his married life, so
ruthlessly cut off scarcely beyond the
honeymoon state, brought happiness
and contentment such as is known only
to the home where love is held in its
true reverence. The fruit of his mar

almost an inValid's existence for
number of years past and the promise
for her last days on earth is drear in
deed. His brother. Will Maxwell of
