THE DYING

One hundred years. o, dying
Century, the limit of thy span
Is drawing to a close,
And the world stands mute
To witness thy expiring breath.
One hundred times has
The sun made his circuit
Around this terrestrial
Ball. While thou
Hast stupendous wonders
Wrought among her
Inhabitants. Vastly
More than did all thy eighteen
Predecessors.
One hundred yearsl Ten
DecadesI And now thy pulse
Grows slow with age,
And, awed by the thought
OF thy near dissolution,
Creation stands e%xpectant.
Not one of the millions who
Were present when thou madest
Thy advent, VI here
To take the parting hand
At thy d~eath-bed.
"What God hath wrought"
On land and sea,
And in earth's deep depths,
Are synonyms with thee.
Great minds hast thou brought us,
And inventions by the score;
Hast bound together Nations,
AS they we're never bound before.
To the.scientihc mind
Great secrets are unrolled,
And the heanty Of old Mother Earth
Increased a thousand-fold.
T~hirty-six thousand, five
Hundred times, has this
World revolved on it's
Axis, since twas given thee
To dole out the moments to
a dying world. But
Thou, too, must die, and
Like the multitudes of
Thy human subjects,
Pass outsand make
Roomsfor thy successor.
A century odd zone hundred yearsi
o, Father Time
Is not dying inIyouth or in
The MONDAY of prime.
For right, and power, and
Conquest, and all that
Bless the human race,
Thou art the king of all
Thy hoary ancestors.
And now that thy whitened locks
Are damp with the dews of death,
The world remembers naught
But that, since the Christian era,
Thou vast th~esgreatest benefactor
God ever gave to the children
OF men.
Now the sands of thy
Life r run, and
Across the Dial we see
A ghostly finger, tracing
The seconds, minutes
And hours.

The Christian Festival Service ut 81.
James Church
The people of st. JamessParish are
preparing for a beautiful Christmas
festival service which will doubtless
be of interest to many not directly
connected with the church. In the
Gospel record the events connected
with the birth of Christ are describ-
ed rs having taken place in the
night. Many of the most beautiful
Christmas carols, hymns and an
thems dwell upon the night scene.
In view of this, and to herald the
first moment of the happiest and
best day in all the year, following an
ancient custom in the church, the
Christmas service at st. James this
year will take place at midnight on
Christmas eve. There will be an IN
formal program of carols and solos
and anthems, beginning at IL o'clock.
AT 11:45 everyone is supposed to be
seated and all preparations made for
the service and perfect silence will
be m intained from this time until
the gong in the choir room pounds
the twelve strokes of the midnight
hour, when the service will begin.
There will be no sermon, the service
being entirely of music rendered by
the vested choir of thirty voices. A
very cordial invitation is extended
to all who may wish to join in this
service.

their full duty. However this may
be. there are indications that the peo-
pie of this county are becoming tired
OF the miscarriage Of the law and evi.
dence and are going To see that evil
doors get their just deserts.
In u new country and In a region
sparsely settled. like a great portion
OF Fergus county Is today, there Is a
comparatively safe retreat for the
criminally disposed, and II is not In
frequent that men find employment
who have left other states or terri
tories In haste or under n cloud. 1t
is therefore necessary that the law
should be rigidly enforced to the end,
as Attorney General Nolan said in
the Howell case, that men should
feel as safe in the businesses Of the
mountains or on the plains as the
governor In his office at Helena"
The courts have done much in the
past year toward bringing about
this frcl!n" al security. Let thegood
work 20 on until life aud property
will be as safe in Fergus county as in
any part OF the United States.

TO WAVE HAIR NATURALLY.
TO Produce the P0mpudour Eff
feet So Popular just
at Present.

Most important in waving the hair
in the great fluctuations which are So
popular for the pompadour effect just
at present is TO make it look as natural
as possible. The point OF difference
between naturally wavy hair and waves
created by the curling iron is that the
former undulate evenly and match all
over the head, 10 matter from what part
the hair may be combed. The waves fit
into each other. The artificial wavelels
are all sizes and jog at every inch or
so, showing an ~uuevenness Of heat in
the iron and no regard for making the
ends TT together.
While ii is rot possible 10 perfectly
counterfeit nature, still, having decided
upon the sort OF couture desired, the
wave can be manufactured surprising
Is even. The first lock having been
waved, all others must match it in size
and direction as il the whole head were
waved in one impression OF the hot
iron. This can be done accurately by
taking a few hairs from the first lock
and combining them with the second
TO measure the waves. This must be
continued all round the first lock and
extend all around the head. Only in
this way can a waved eoifIure be made
effective. The iron must also be of
even temperature throughout the
whole process, otherwise II wave will
be tighter than another. When prop
erly done the mos, simple arrangement
is beautifully. Y. Herald.

LESSONS TO ~ENll-DOTRS.

The execution Of Calder and the

1t Is as orderly and law.abiding as

have taken place within its limits
have, In most part, been committed
by translents or those who claimed
only a temporary residence. While
we doubt whether capital offenses
are any more frequent in Montana
than In many OF the older states, yet
we believe much can be done to min
imlze such occurrences by a rigid en-
forcement OF the law. To secur this
there must be n healthy public sentI-
ment behind our courts of Justice.

Nebraska Democrats held their
state convention at Lincoln last week
and adopted n platform written by
w. j. Bryan himself. As was antici-
pated, the platform of 1896 was re-
affirmed entire. That means moth
ing, as the Democratic party stands
rendy to reafiirm every platform dec
laration IL has made In the past
t~hirty-five y~ears-stats rights, free
trade orany old thing. The questionis
will 1t press this issue to the front in
the coming campaign? win it dwell
ON the beauties and benefits OF free
trade? Certainly not. Possibly in
certain regions of the west the party
will endeavor to make free silver a
prominent issue To hoodwink and
begulle the creduluus, but in those
states of the east and middle west
where Mr.. Bryan must make great
gains To even make n decent showing
in the electoral college the question
will be practically ignored. But sucl
duplicity and %insincerity will quickly
be exposed and react disastrousl,
upon the party.

The incident that occurred In the
Republican state committee meeting
at Helena last Saturday in reference
to the Clark letter to Hobson had
better been omitted. Everybody be-
lieyes that HobsOn and all the other
Republicans who voted for Clark did
so for n financial consideration. and
the Republican party has M business
To mix up in the dirty mess in any
manner. Very properly the commit
tee took no noticed the incident, but
1t Is unfortunate that The matter was

We heartily endorse the views OF
Jul contemporary. The Republicans
Of Montana care nothing about
Clark's letter to Hobson, or what
Clark's views are concerning any
question now before the American
people, much less for his pledges re-
gardlng u dead issue. Furthermore,
the Republicans Of this state must re-

TIT DANGER NOT PAST.

Gov. Smith, in n newspaper inter
view upon his return from Washing
ton, said the danger of congress pass
ing some law looking TO the leasing
of public lands In the west To stock
men IN not yet past. He said that
when the governors OF several west
ern states recently called upon the
secretary Of the interior to protest
against the Foster bill they were in
formed by the secretary that the in
terror department was about to or
ganize a bureau for the purpose o!
procuring legislation and leasing the
public grazing lands OF the United
States; that the condition as it now
exists with reference to the public
grazing lands is wholly %unsatisiac-
tory was stated to us by the secre-
tary, and the impression was left on
my mind that unless something was
done pointing out the proper way to
handle and take care Of these grazing
lands, the interior department and
congress would provide for their leas-
ing by the general government. Ac-
cDrdingly, the governors there pres
ent have issued a call for n meeting
on all thegovernOrs Of western states
where grazing lands are involved, tn
meet mt Salt Lake City, April Is. for
the purpose of discussing these ques-
tions and To devise some united
scheme for the proper management
and handling OF the arid lands.
Gov. Smith thinks that II these
lands are to be leased at all it should
be done under the regulation OF the
state authorities. He will attend the
meeting Mt Salt Lake, and says he
would be very much delighted II the
stockmen, farmers and all persons
using or interested in the grazing
lands OF the state would meet in their
several localities and discuss these
questions thoroughly and send him,
between now and April IL, their
views OF the question. at will not
do for Us to sit idly by and take nc
action. ii we do, the general gov.
eminent will act" he says.
