Tells What The Town Ii.

Livingston Post: A special edition Of
The Billings Gazette has come to
hand. 1t is by far the finest edition
of the kind we have seen bearing the
name Of any newspaper in the state.
A splendid review Of Yellowstone
county. numerous cuts Of the city
and county and photographs of the
prominent citizens are the leading fea-
lures of the work. 1t is something
that gives a person who has never been
in Billings a very good idea Of what
the town and country is like and this
we take it is the laudable mission Of
all special editions. The Post congrat.
ulates the Gazette OH it's excellent His
torioal Edition and acknowledges a
very strong liking for the Magic City
as it is pictured and praised in the
book. The Gazette publisher sends
each subscriber a copy Of the special
edition and to all persons not subscrib-
ers the book is for sale for 25 cents.

trated Historical Edition Of the Bill
ings Gazette stands ace high. Between
it's covers there are over fifty pages Of

Widely circulated as it will be, the edi-

favorable attention Of homeseekers and
men who have means to invest in

highly creditable piece Of work and a
publication of which the enterprising

Rocky Mountain Husbandman: The
finest general ehibit Of farm products
shown from any single county ut Mis-
soula during the late session Of the lrri.
cation Congress was raised in Yellow
stone county. 1t consisted Of apples,
pears, peaches, grapes, plums from the
orchard Of Olny Taylor Of Park City,
ten varieties of potatoes grown by w.
o. Parker Of Billings, three large fine
varieties from J. H. Dover's farm near
Billings. These were the largest
shown, uniform in size and many Of
them weighing nearly two pounds each.
The fine large watermelons, muskmel-
ons and tomatoes were from the farm
of Mr.. White Of Blue Greek. There
we're six varieties of apples, some NAM
moth cabbage, punches Of alfalfa, and
a 1lO.pound pumpkin shown from the
Hesper farm, Of which l. D. O'Donnell
is manager and part owner. B. Curtis
Of Billings added to the splendid ex-
hibit by showing some fine large corn
and potatoes, and George MUIR exhib-
tied some large and beautiful tomatoes,
corr and plums. The fruits in this ex.
hibit demonstrate that the Yellowstone

outmatohes the famous Bitter Root in

 Why should the church leave her high place and come down into the arena, where she will be put to shame2 Do men come to church for petty pleas ures fit only for children, or for the satisfaction of their souls and the con- frmstion of their faith? Would Chris tianity have begun to exist if the Apos- ties had been pleasing preachers" and bright men," and had given them selves to ''socisls" and ''sales" and "talk?" The church triumphed by her faith. her holiness, her courage. and by these high virtues she must stand in this age also. She IS the witness to immortality, the spiritual home of souls, the servant of the poor, the pro- tector of the friendless, and if she sinks into place of second-rste en- tertainment, then it were better that her history should close. for without her spiritual visions and sustere ideals the chnrch is not worth preserving Ian MacLaren in the October Ladies' Home Journal.

Size of the New Ballots.

s-t'Ansonis Sentinel having criti. cised the new law relative to the size of ballots, in that the new ballots are not long enough for the full list of names to be printed on them in letters of the legal size. Representative R. H. Tucker of Ansonia replies to the editor. He says that he drafted the law and that it is all right. He declares that the names can be set in double columns. To this the "Sentinel !" replies that by the wording of the law double column is prohibited.
 We have been perusing the new law and the only grounds for the "Sen.i- nel's" claim is that "ths names of the candidates shall be printed straight across the face of the ballots in black ink" This does not prevent two names for the same office being CD one line "printed straight across the face of the ballot" For instance:
