sentially a day of quiet and rest in this
section agricultural pursuits permitting
a a of rest without detriment to- any
OF the interests. Our city lacks the life
n hustle that goes on every day of the
week In a mining town, and the transit
ton to the former from the latter makes
a curious impression on the person who
makes the change. 1t seems for all the
world as though one had ceased to exist
for a day, and after a day spent in idle
ness so far as work is concerned, it is
no always the most pleasant thing i'm
aginable to pick up the loose ends on
Monday morning and start a new weeks
work. 1t Is to be admitted, however, that
after the start is made, the work comes
much easier after a day Of rest and that
tired feeling is not SO prominent. When
one has become accustomed to the
change, it is all right, but for a time it is
hard work to stand around a full day
with nothing in particular to do but to
wait for night to come. Now that the
pleasant days of summer are over and
the chill winds of autumn rob excur-
slonS out of town of their charm, Sun
day seems as long as all the rest of the
week rolled into one to one tina is not
religiously inclined.

ed.
The delegation chosen by the independ-
ent democrats are making active prepa-
ration to leave for the scene Of battle to-
morrow morning. The idea of leaving so
soon FOR Butte, is a good one, for, not
Wlthstanding the accommodations that
exist in that city to handle a large
crowd, 1t is no laughing matter to find a
room on an occasion of his kind, and
by getting into town in advance of the
MAIN body the Bozeman delegates hope
to have the pick of quarters while the
convention lasts in Butte.
At a meeting of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union at the home of Mrs.
