BE A GOOD BOY! GOODBY!

How oft in my dreams 1 go back to
the day
When l stood at our old wooden
gate
And started to school in full battle
array, ,..'
Well armed with a primer and
slate,
And as the latch fell 1 thought myself
free
And gloried, fear, on the sly,
Till heard kind voice that whis-
pered to Inc: ...
"Be good boy! Goodbye"
"Be good boy! Goodbye" 1t
They have followed me all these
years;
They have given form to my youthful
dreams
And scattered my foolish fears;
They have staid my feet on many a
brink,
Unseen by blinded eye,
For just in time would pause and
think:
"Be good boy. Goodbg!";
Oh, brother of mine, in the battle of
life,
Just starting of nearing its close,
This motto aloft, in the midst of the
strife,
Will conquer wherever it goes!
Mistakes you will make, for each of

But, brother, just honestly try
To accomplished your best. In what
ever occurs
"Be a good boy! Goodby!"

market size and quality, there
will be small profit when the

EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Man Held a Boy and Succeeded n
Stopping His Frightened Team.

A thrilling runaway which happily re-
suited in no loss of life, occurred about 10
O'Clock this morning on East Broadway
and was witnessed by several hundred
persons. A spanking big team attached
to a lumber wagon was being driven by
a man who sat on the reach pole. Be
hind the man was a boy of about 10
years. Crossing Main street the horses
shyed at a street car and started on a
run down Broadway. The chemical en-
CINE of the fire department was directly
in the way but the driver of the chemical
was apprised of his danger in time and
succeeded in getting out of the way by
driving into the fire station.
The driver of the runaway team was
apparently afraid that the boy would fall
Off and chung to the lad with one arm
while with the other he endeavored to
check the speed of the animals. Between
Broadway and Wyoming street several
passing vehicles had narrow escapes
from destruction. At his point the driv-

grasping the reins with both hands he
applied all his strength to the task Of
checking the speed of the team. This he
accomplished within a few blocks to the
infinite satisfaction OF the excited spec

neither paid the money nor Shove up to

Simpson told the judge he had been in

Judge made an order to the effect that
Simpson was in contempt of court, and a
warrant for his arrest was issued.

conferred on st. Patrick's church yester-
day through Father Desiere, who re-
Gently returned from Rome, where he
was granted an audience with the head
of the church. Special papal blessing
is a distinction that is not ordinarily
granted to churches, and st. Patrick's
is the first church in the west to be SO
honored. Father Desiere told the story
yesterday of his visit to the pope and
how the blessing was brought about.
Bishop Brondel, in a previous visit,
had told the pope of the work of Father
Desiere and how an church
debt had been raised in a very short
time and the pop expressed a desire to
see the Montana priest. Father Desiere
talked with the pope about five minutes,
during which time he thanked the priest
for the work that was being ACCOM-
p1ished in Butte and told hire on hiS re-
turn to Butte, to bless. in his names the
congregation, the priests and h sfsters
who had assisted in the work.
