SOCIAL DUTY

The door-bell rings,
The portal swings.
My lady comes a'calling,
In velvet dressed.
Her veil close pressed;
The formal talks appalling.
The style, the day,
The church, the play
Whatever line she fancies.
Ten minutes pass;
She says, ALAS,
Time flies" and Off she dances.
No real word said
From heart or head,
No thought TO live in beauty;
Her list she checks
What names the next?
She's doing social duty.
Lydia A. Coonley-Ward. in Woman.
Home Companion.

upon despairlngly by some of the "in-

OF the Republican voters took the

profound peace and it's entire military

than 29,312 men, including the retired
list and also the military cadets and
teachers at West Point, the annual

Margaret Hartman Bache, a descend
ant of Franklin.
Charles Emory Smith, postmaster
general, in making the address of pre-
sentation, said:
1T is peculiarly At that this distinct
commemorative work, rich and strong
in the grace and glory OF art, the gift
of a Philadelphia and the creation Of
a Philadelphia sculptor should rise on
this spot. Franklin was the first post
master general OF the United American
colonies. and his benignant figure is
here to signalize and embellish this
great postoffice which illustrates the
present magnitude Of the service he
began. He was the founder OF the
university, and here is its ancient site.
He was the foremost journalist OF the
colonies and the typical printer appro-
priately rests here as an enduring en-
blem and model on the line OF what
has become newspaper row."
Mayor Ashbridge accepted the gift
for the city.

THE FOREST RANGERS.
Where They Are Camped and the Good
Work They Are Doing.

Where They Are Camped and the Good
Work They Are Doing.
Hamilton, June 4.--Supervisor Weber,
who has returned from visiting the
camps of the forest rangers on the
Bitter Root reserve, is well pleased
with the work the men are doing.
There are eight of these rangers, and
their camps and territory are as fol-
lows:
Districts Nos. and 2-Rangers H. C.
futile and N. E. Wilkerson are camped
on the north of Hughes creek, their
territory being the south end of the re-
serve, extending from Blue Joint south
to the Idaho line.
Districts Nos. and 4-Rangers w. II.
Mccoy and Lowell Osborne are camped
I on the West Fork and their territory
runs south from Trapper creek to Blue
Joint, on both sides of the river and
along the old Nez Perez trail.
District No. Stranger Frank NJ
Overturf is camped at Wiles Springs
and his territory is south and west
from the South Fork.
District No. Granger Hiram F.
Cook is camped on Rock creek and his
territory runs from Lost Horse to Trap
per creek.
District No. Ranger William Cos
tello is camped on Blodgett creek, his
territory extending from Sweathouse
South 10 Lost Horse.
District No. Stranger Edison r.
'Buker is camped on Bass creek and his
territory runs from the north end -f the
reserve touth to Sweathouse
The rangers are just now engaged in
clearing away the brush on the reserve.
There are miles of territory on which
the timber was cut some time ago,
leaving mass of dead tree tops brush,
etc, and this Is all being cleared away
thttc
dangerous cause of fire When this is
all done, and the boys are doing their
work so well and rapidly that another
week will see 1T nearly completed, they
will turn their attention to cleaning out
the present trails about the reserve and
breaking and clearing new ones giving
easy access to all parts of the reserve in
case of emergencies like forest fires.
That they are doing their work thor
oughly is already attested by the fact
that some of them are sore and stiff,
but Mr.. Weber says none of them are
Sinking and that they are as fine a
lot of men as could be gotten together
for this work, and as willing as men
could be.
Our people are becoming fully awake
to the good work of these forest men,
and an appreciation of the same is be-
ing manifested by all who have been
over the ground and noted the changes
and improvements accomplished. Par
ties who are competent to judge freely
state that the work on this reserve will
repay the government and the settlers
a thousand fold for the sum expended
in keeping the force in the field. That
this is the case was evidenced last sea-
son. when not a single forest fire sue
ceeded in getting a start on the whole
reserve from the time the rangers were
put on. The forest reserve. scheme is
all right and the men in the Bitter Root
reserve are all right.

Has Loaded His Gun.

Missoula, June Aired Won Boston,
hostile, on awaking this morning and
going out to water his flower garden,
found that some one had. during the
night or early this morning. entered his
garden and had taken all of the flowers
that We're in bloom. To say that Fred
was mad wouldn't express it. He says
that if he ever catches any one in his
yard stealing his flowers. he will shoot
to mark him for life. The person that
stole his flowers is one that under
stands the difference between COM
mon variety and one of the higher
class, for he took some fine pansy
plants up by the roots that could not
be bought for a great deal of money.
Fred is Going to sit up all night as soon
as there are new flowers and woe to the
person that climbs his fence.

nifty to acquire title to an equal num-
Der of acres of public land in any other
part of the United States where they
can find vacant lands, other than re-
serves, belonging to Uncle Sam. The
circular issued by the department is
construed to apply to unsurveyed as
well as surveyed lands. 1t is evidently
the desire of the government to hold
the Bitter Root forest reserve free from
any settlement, and at the same time
give those who have settled within the
reserve prior to its creation an appor-
tunity to secure other valuable lands
in lieu of those settled upon. There
have been many reports current as to
what the government would do in this
matter, but Supervisor Weber states
that he is in receipt of information to
the effect that by making formal APP
plicatfon settlers in the reserve will be
allowed to take up other surveyed or
unsurveyed lands and the time they
have resided on the land within the
reserve will apply on that which they
might select. AS most of the settlers
have lived five years within the re-
serve, under this ruling they will be
permitted to take up valuable unsur-
veyed land in the Bitter Root and at
once secure a patent.
