ETHICS OF THE PEN.

A woman should keep in mind the
following rules for letter writing:
Business letters must be concise and
clear. because business people are sup
posed to be busy.
No letter is complete without the
date.
In writing to solicit employment of
any kind on no account should per-
sonal perpleXities or needs be men
toned. The world is full of unfor-
tunate persons, and to a stranger the
troubles OF one are no more than those
of a host of others.
Letters of introduction are left open
when written.
deliberately Ornamented note paper,
as we'll as highly perfumed notes, are
vulgar.
When answering letters remember:
That written words stand as ever
lasting witnesses, says the Philadel-
phia Times.
That an ambiguous sentence is likely
to be misinterpreted.
That friendly words never harm.
That a written word of sympathy
can sometimes do much good.
That a letter written in a kindly
spirit should be anwered in the same
way, even though the message is dis
liked.
That business letters and invitations
must be answered at once.
That n should acknowledge any
friendly offer of hospitality, ever
though it be not by acceptance.-Bos-
ton Herald.

A London paper credits "a Kansas
journalist" with making the following
remarks about Mr.. Pederewski:
THE fellow is deceitful. He makes
you think all the time he is going to
play a tune, but he e does. He
firts all around a tune, but never
touches it. His hair looks like a wig,
but it isn't. He deceives you in a
hundred ways. He makes the sweet
est sounds you ever heard that were
not a tune. He has his piano so
trained that it will keep right on play
ing when he is not touching it. He
reaches out slowly and strokes it,
drawing back his elbows like a man
brushing a girls hair. You see the
moonlight, and you're there with your
| girl, but somehow she doesn't love you.
You know the sorrow of that, and
that's why we don't ike Paderewski.'

stated in a general way the purpose of
the meeting. Cn motion ID. r. Swart-
out was elected temporary chairman.
Upon taking the chair Mr.. SWartout
thanked the caucus for the honor con
ferred upon him and said he fully ap-
preciated the wisdom of the action.
He severely arraigned the republican
party because of the poor quality of
| garden seeds congressman are sending
out to their constituents, and proudly
recalled the fact that during all Of the
time he and Abraham Lincoln was en-
gagged in putting down the rebellion,
he never heard Mr.. Lincoln say one
word in favor of retaining the Philip
pines. These patriotic sentiments
were loudly applauded. On motion d.
r. Swartout was elected temporary
secretary by reclamation. D. R. Swart-
out then moved and seconded that the
temporary organization be made per-
manent, and also that the chair APP
point a committee to select delegates
to attend the county convention.
Both motions were carried and the
chair appointed D. r. Swartout. After
celebrating about IL minutes the COM
mittee reported the following list Of
delegates: D.. r. Swartout. The re-
port was enthusiastically adopted. The
delegation was instructed to vote as
a unit and the delegates present at the
convention were empowered to cast
the full vote. And then adjourned
one Of the most harmonious caucuses
ever held in Barnes county.

A Popular Resort.

That the man who always bears in
mind to patronize home products is sure
of success, is clearly demonstrated by
the increased patronage enjoyed by
Charles Lindlahr & Co., who handle the
Kalispell product of beer at The Brew
cry" sample rooms under the Club on
Main street. The popularity of The
Brewery" as a place of resort has been
brought about by the handling of Kalis-
pell home brew as the chief attraction.
Combined with the above fact is another
that for clean, comfortable, quiet
place in which one can enjoy game of
billiards or cards, no other place in the
city can compete with The Brewery"
Mr.. Lindlahr personally supervises the
business, and those who patronize the
place can feel assured that his best en-
beavers will be put forth to make their
entertainment of first class order. While
the proprietors make speciality of Kali
ispell beer, their patrons can be served
with any and all brands of liquors from
"pousse cafe to "Fernet Branca," so
that one need not hesitate to order any
thing in the line of liquid refreshments.
Those who are thirsty while journeying
through life, should pause by the way"
and Stake their thirst at 1.-The Brewery"
in the Club building, Main street.
