Assessor Fowler returned last week
from south of the Snowies. where he
has completed the assessmentforth this
year. He reports that several sheep
men we're at that time well through
lambing and that the grass had at
tanned a good growth for this sea-
son. Contrary to expectations few
men protested when called upon to
pay their road taxes in cash, as well
as their poll taxes. Altogether the
people in that section OF the county

Fowler.
Mrs. E. X. Cheadle received a tele-
gram last week from friends in the
east stating that her husband, Ser
geant Cheadle OF Co. l, had received
an honorable discharge from the
army and would be home in about
five weeks. Mr.. Cheadle has covered
himself with glory In the battles in
which Co. l has participated, and the
fighting being practically over, will
doubtless accept with qualification
an opportunity to return to his wife
and family, who during the past year
have made equally as great sacrifices
for love OF country.
G. W. CHM, proprietor OF the stage
line running from Billings to Lavina,
was In town last week and made
this Office a pleasant call. MI. CHM
ia performing very satisfactory
service at that end of the line, as
Goodell & Brown are at this end, the
principal difficulty being in the center,
where passengers say the service ia
by no means what they have a right
to expect. 1t was this matter that
brought MI. CHM to Lewistown and
an improvement in the accommoda.
tions is likely to result. Mr.. CHM is
an old timer In Montana and lived In
this section before Lewistown was q
post office. He says that tho the
roads have been very hard and the
snow quite as deep along his route
as In the northern part OF the state
he has not missed a trip this winter
This is an excellent record.

Usually the more proficient gram
mar school scholars alone aspire to
enter college, or the preparatory de
partnent, for the purpose of COM
pleting their education. This being
the case, an examination of new
students should give an average of
the proficiency obtained in any
branch, and the recent tests in spell
ing would indicate that there is
something radically wrong with the
grammar school methods of instruc-
ton in that art. Eighty-fiye stu
dents underwent the last test, and
of that number nineteen passed.
From the papers forty were taken at
random, and by comparison the fol

prices one year ago and are too high
to make it profitable to engage
ships for wheat export, even if the
vessels could be obtained.
Samuel GLASGOW, manager of the
Centennial Mills, said Yesterday:
"Only one source of relief can be
hoped for as long as these wars CON
tinue. That is to have more Amer
lean ships built which will be fitted
for the wheat export trade. But as
long as vessels are in such demand
for other purposes, there is little
hope that shipowners will charter
them for wheat carrying, as wheat
must be carried cheaper than many
other commodities on account of it's
bulk. The exporters now are com

age over other stoves are as follows:

TO THE BOYS OF '98.

(F. X Harrison in Evergreen)
Awake, OF Muse my soul tonight
And give me strength and will,
That may tell with proper zeal
The story how our gallant boys
Left home and loved ones dear.
To risk their lives in FOREIGN climes
For cause of human right.
some cause has been, some cause there is,
Some cause will always be-
For strife of man upon the land
Aud wars upon the sea
cause arose i'll ninety-eipht
For modern men to face
A peoples rights were set at naught
BY dusky, southern race
Unheard the cries from Cuba isle
No masters boon was sent,
They echoed back the p,aintve wall
From far off Orient
a neighbor heard this plaintiye cry
And saw the cruel deed,
OF wicked men exacting pay
To satisfy their greed
''''NA ~ Nt'iiAC Ni4S lubiHElil that
They crossed the Yankees fence
And with the MAINE" went up the hope
OF Spanish prominence
No untitled field, no college hail,
No love of kin or friend,
Gould swerve brave men from Duty's call
Till tyranny did end
Boys, gone YOU have, and well YOU fought
Your noble flag to Shield,
Full many a day, and many a night,
You saw the battlefield
Midst powder smoke and leaden hail
You stood the fiery test,
Who'd live to see this day, one knew
No better than the rest
You're home once more, you've done your par
And great the jubilee
4 joyous shout arises from
This nation, great and free
Long may the rights which you upheld
BE taught on land and sea
Till every nation on this ealth
Shall live in equity.

that the tobacco is very bad. NJ Loubet
returned to Paris by train. He is the first
president who has done so. He ordered
an open carriage and pair to await him
at the station instead of a carriage and
four. The entire absence of haughtiness
in his demeanor was favorably remarked.
When we read of the 'haughtiness' or
the Humility of presidents of republics,
or when we hear the cry Hats off to the
president" we recall the line of Walt
Whitman-"the terrible significance of
their elections-the presidents taking OIL
his hat to them. not they to him but,
alas, Whitman wrote this in 1850. In the
ideal republic 1.-The president is up there
in the white house for you, it is not you
who are here for him.

Record-Breaking Success of Cy-
rano de Bergerac.
IN REVIEW AND CRITICISM
Anthony Hopes The Adventure of the
Lady Ursula Has Proved Very
Attractive - Comedies OF
w. s. Wilhert.
IN REVIEW AND CRITICISM

We begin our article this week with
added to the library. We have before
alluded to the great popularity of this
+. class of books in France, and the COM
parative lack of interest in England
and America But after its record
breaking success in our sister repub-
lie. the English translations of "Cyrano
de Bergerac' have been seized on by
American readers with as much avid
ity as the popular novel The Adven-
lures of the Lady Ursula" by An
thony Hope, has proved equally as at
tractive, and there is every evidence
to presume that Pinero's "Trelawny of
the Wells: A Comedietta in Four Acts"
will be as pleasing to readers as it is
to theatergoers.
The comedies of w. S. Gilbert are
by no means new. But their flavor is
so well known that the two volumes of
"original Plays" will be good reading
at any time, as well as al those special
periods when they receive their recoS-
milton on the stage.
ington Allston among American paint
ers is widely appreciated. but that he
essayed anything in literature is not
SO well recognized. A volume just add
ed to the library however, is one that
gives evidence of his work both as
artist and litterateur. Lectures on
Art and Poems is book that con-
tains gracefully written essays on the
subject where Mr. Allston was par
ticularly al home, and a collection of
verses of value, not so much by rea-
son of general excellence as of the high
character attained when we consider
that they We're among the first at
tempts in the country in this line.
"A very substantial volume is His
tory of Japanese Literature" by g.
Aston, a recent issue of the Literatures
of the World series. 1t is the first book
that has appeared which gives an ade-
quate idea of the extensive literature
possessed by the new modern nation on
the western edge of the Pacific. The
necessity of properly treating his sub
/. ject has compelled the author to in
clude to a great extent original trans
lations of extracts from many works
which have never appeared in modern
languages and this feature has given
peculiar attractiveness to the volume.
The second series of Bardeen's "Au-
thors Birthdays" contains outlines for
school programmes and references for
readers on Bayard Taylor, James Rus

Emerson John G. Sake. Thoreau. Eliza

fun, and so did the spectators. 1t was
a burnt cork affair and Cork was fur
nished at the door. and some of the at
tempts at corking were simply appall
ing. Some went at it with the skill of
an end man and did most excellent jobs,
while others merely smearpd the coal
over the prominent features of the face.
Those who made circles around the
eyes and mouth and crisis crosses on
the cheeks and forehead and let it go
at that had almost as much fun as the
spectators who beheld the effect with
eyes extended.

that is altogether good, and that is Tar-
