KINDNESS,

\ flash Of light in the darkness.
\ CLEAN through the gathered gloom
n ship is led to the haven ahead.
Away from the reef-and doom.
The flash Of 4 smile through SORROW,
The clasp of Il hand and warm,
y soul distressed is led to rest
Out Of the night and storm.
The flash of a kind word spoken.
May light Il life for aye.
The soul in fear. Il word of cheer
May speed. brave, on its way.
The thunder Of hate, forth sounding.
Dies in the storm and gale.
The whisper of love Astounding.
Brcathes hope that cannot fail.

The ranchmen in the western part
of the state are becoming seriously
alarmed at the number of large gray
wolves present this year. Young stock
seems to be their prey and much loss
has already resulted. The vigorous
hunt being made by the ranchmen in
eastern Montana has forced them from
that section and now the stockmen in
this state are the sufferers.

That don't care if they smile or not,
An when at home. long, doleful signs

But when he's home he kicks TIL cat

An then go home to their dear wives
An cuss the grub to take it out.
Some fellers never smile at home
They're feared tn children might not

Half into fits and fly around
As when they hear dear papa swear.

Pcnbina Pioneer Express: The
case of DR.. Chagnon of Leroy for vio-
lation of the prohibition law was in
progress as we went to press last
week. Some eight or more witnesses
were examined for the state. Their
testimony was that they could and did
buy liquor. as one witness expressed
it, whenever they had the price"
CroSs-eNamination brought out that
most of the witnesses had IN ~ill-feel-
ing toward the accused. The defend
ant testified that he only sold them
under their affidavits, though none of
them could read or write. The Jury
after several hours d%eliberation
brought in a verdict of not guilty.

The enrolment of the public schools
is the largest it has ever been ut any

board Of education for all grades. This
has been OF Grca, assistance 10 all the
teachers in their work.
The attendance in the high school
the work is going on steadily day by
day. The senior class has nearly
completed its school work for the year
and will soon he preparing for their
graduating exercises.
The first year class in the high
school is the largest and one of the
most capable that has entered the
high school in four years. II WAS

the efforts of the pupils themselves.
This includes some Of the most valu-
