Mr.. Smith is endeavoring to secure an
order from the commissioners to turn
the premises over to him.
1t develops there is considerable OPP
position in Deer Lodge to the leasing
of the premises to Mr.. Smith. The lat
ter is apparently popular personally.
but the citizens fear he proposes to turn
the court house grounds into a sort of a
wine garden and hence their protests
When the commissioners, last Friday,
agreed to lease the grounds to Mr.
Smith they did SO on the representation
that Mr.. Smith desired to use them
for picnic grounds and resort mas
much as no revenue had previously
been derived from the property, the
commissioners considered his PROPOSE
ton favorably.
The property is singularly beautiful
one, the grounds being shaded by tall
trees and most attractive in appear
ance. In the neighborhood are a num-
Der of homes. The owners of these
homes are the chief DIRECTORS to the
lease being carried out. Inasmuch as
the commissioners have adjourned and
the lease has been made, there is little
probability that the lease will be re-
voked.
Deputy Sheriff Robinson has been liv-
ing on the premises as caretaker, but
will now probably move out.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the syctem. It
is the one perfect Strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing tho system effcctually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
TO overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating Thorn, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP

A Foxy Liquor Scheme.

The Enforcement League is still
on the war path, and as result OF
the work OF one Of its agents, the
Great Northern agent at Mayvllle is
under $500 bonds, to appear before
the district court of Traill county to
answer to the charge OF selling beer
contrary to law.
One method adopted for the dis
tribution of intoxicants has been de-
scribed before and is as follows: A
liquor concern or brewing company
has shipped to itself, at AN interior
town, or its agent quantity of beer
or other liquor. This remains at the
depot, and the liquor agent carries
about with him blank orders, which
need only TO be filed out with the
name of the purchaser and the
amount Of liquor desired. John
Smith, for instance wants bottle of
beer. He goes to the agent Of the
brewery, pays him for a bottle and
receives from him an order instruct
ing the express agent 10 deliver to
John Smith bottle Of beer. This
is presented, John gets his beer, and
goes ON his way rejoicing. This
system was made the basis of suit
begun at Church's Ferry some time
ago, and still pending.
Last week a league detective was
in Mayville, and charges that he
actually bought from the Great
Northern agent there a case Of beer.
without even the formslity Of an
order, the agent having received from
resident an assurance that the de-
tective was cali right" The detec-
tive secured the beer, and caused a
warrant to be issued for the arrest of
the railway man, who was held to the
district court for trial, bonds being
fixed at $500.
Two other Trail county men,
King and Coffee, against whom
charges were preferred, turned up
missing and have not been located.

A Pretty Eject,

An illuminated sign on store up
town spells the name Of the proprietor
in letters outlined by electric lights and
is lit up and then made dark again
automatically. When the sign begins
to shine out, the electric bulbs at the
left are the first to appear, and then the
illumination follows the course of an
immense pen writing the name ont. So
closely is the course of the pen followed
that the 'si'' in the name is not dotted
with it's especial electric light dot until
the last flourish at the extreme right Of
the name is lit up. Then, with q per-
ceptible interval, as il the gigantic pen
was being carried back, the dot on the

whole name appears. New York Sun.

For beautiful word-painting IL would be

God takes the tints of the sunset glow

The blush OF maid by her love first kissed,
The blue that's asleep in the midday skies
The brown that / love in my baby's ewes
That is the way that the pansies grow.

God takes the soul of the beautiful snow
And mods II into chalice sweet.
Pure and wonderful. fair. complete:
Then he takes the gold OF my baby's hair
And sets IL amid the whiteness there
AS in nights white skies the bright stars glow:
And that Is the way that the lilies grow
DO you know darling. how roses grow?
All. that is the strangest Of all. 1 know;
For they the fairest OF all things fair
The one perfect blossom. beyond compare:
Symbol of sweetness and all loveliness-
God wished His children TO comfort and bless
And He wrote the thought in flower and So
That is the way that the roses grow.
Here are verses that have the true
Christmas ring and jingle; moreover they
are so strictly and refreshingly Califor-
nian. In fact, the book throughout is
filled with the healthy atmosphere OF the
West and teeming with the piquant indi-
viduality OF its author:
Hey. there little girls who live in the West
And were born here. you know. cause you
thought IL was best.

Some HomeIg
Little Songs

A book Of verses by A. J. Waterhouse
has just been published under the title
or Some Homely Little Songs" 1t will
certainly find most welcome place
among all lovers OF good whole-soul
poesy. for Mr.. Waterhouse is writer
who makes words subservient 10 the idea
and paints his pictures with the greatest
delicacy and without effort. There is no
straining for literary effects, firework en-
bellishments Of great words and involved
hgures OF speech. The style is direct,
simple, and the thoughts conveyed strike
the sweetest chords on the human heart
strings. The title, "Homely Little Songs"
Is certainly most apty chosen. The
wholesome sentiments of the book
throughout would seem TO show that its
author had been actuated by the thought
expressed In the first line OF his poem,
LAS | Would Believer"
want to keep thinking that Gods as true.
And the grass as green and the skies as blue
As they used 10 be when my life was young
And the bird OF the morn TO my spirit sung
i want TO look out through my time-dimmed
eyes
To the ships OF mist in the seas OF skies.
And feel that the hand that guides them there
VIII still Tor my faltering footsteps care.
