THE case against Denniston
was dismissed on motion of the
state at Medora last Saturday.
On Aug. 3, 1898, Denniston made
a written statement to MI. Wibaux
that he had branded two of his
calves in May previous, but after
his arrest last month he made an
other statement to the effect that
he was not present when the H.
legal branding was done; that his
brother Cliff and his foreman had
done the branding and in order to
help them out he had made the
confession to Mr.. Wibaux which
he now claims was untrue, claim
ing at the same time thathe did il
to catch a prominent Billings
county official. He lied in one o.
his statements. Which one?

A Great English statesman's Secret.

The secret of a celebrated English
statcsman's long life was his systematic
way OF eating. Every bite of food was
chcwed thirty times before swallowing.
The result was he naturally enjoyed good
health. Most men and women bolt their
food, and eat things which were never
intended to be eaten. They become
c%ostive, have a bad complexion, lose flesh,
are irritable and nervous, and the first
thing they know they are "played out"
1t is gratifying to know that Hos,etter's
Stomach Bitters cures stomach troubles.
1t is a purely vegetable medicine that
has stood the test of many years 1t

OUR RECENT TREATY.

The position of the admins
tration with regard to the Philip.
pine islands, is su%ccinctly and
clearly outlined in Senator Hans
brough's address recently to the
volunteers at Devils Lake. He
said-"This question of expansion
is a very great one, but it is by no
means a new one. Our country
has been expanding from its birth.
We have been acquiring new terri
tory from time to time for nearly
a century. In 1903 Thos. Jeffer-
son paid S12,ooo,ooo for that vast
empire known as the Louisiana
purchase. That was the time for
the class of men who think thu.
the Aeet-footed Agulnaldo is as
great u man as George Wash
ington to have cried out against
imperialism" In 1913, after the
war with Mexico, we paid $4,000,
900 for that magnificent domain
known as California and New
Mexico, and who will say that the
sum "a too great? Then, in 1867
we bought Alaska for 81, 100000.
In all prior transactions for the
purchase of new territory pro-
visions had to be made in the
treaties whereby the territory ced-
ed should, at the proper time, be
erected into states, and new states
have been admitted as fast as con
>gress in its wisdom has deemed
necessary and proper. In the
Alaska matter, however, no such
provision was made. 1t was ther
that this government first de.
parted from its traditional policy
it was then hat our statemer
realized that there might be a sit
uation demanding the annexation
of new territory without any in
tention of admitting it to state
hood. In the treaty with Franc
for the Louisiana country and il
the treaty of Guadalupe witt
Mexico the inhabitants of the ced
ed area were given the promise Q
citizenship as residents of SOW
ereign states of the Union, an
this promise has been fulfilled a
fast as the inhabitants shove
themselves to be qualified for tn
duties of citizenship. But in tn
case of Alaska in our treaty wit
Russia wehave merely guarantee
to the civilized residents the i'm
munities and civil rights whic
belong to all free peoples, leavin
the question of their politica
rights wholly in the dispersion G

against the imperialistic tendenc
of our government at that tim,

WENT HOME TO SANTA CLAUS

A bitter night-a squalid street
A basement bleak and bare,
A hungry child with bleeding feet
Alone sat waiting there.
All day amid the surging throng
She'd wandered far and near
All day had sung a feeble song
That none had paused to hear.
But as she sang she caught the name
OF Santa Claus, and how
On Christmas night he often came
To hungry children now.
And so she waited in the dark
For Santa Claus to come
Till in her breast the feeble spark
OF hope grew faint and numb.
She thought because she had no light
He failed to bring her share,
And crept at last into the night
To lead the good saint there.
And Christmas morning came, and 10!
Her dead face smiled, because
Amid a whirring drift of snow
Her little weary soul l know
Had found its Santa Claus.
