The latter paper gave a most intelli-
gent analysis OF the real meaning and
significance of altruism. A brief synopsis
of this paper is as follows:
"Altruism is a term employed 10 de-
note the benevolent instincts and emo
tions i'm general; it is the opposite OF
selhshncss, and means regard for others.
In lose usage it means that part of our
conduct or duty that has reference TO 9TH
ers In theology and ethics altruism has
come to mean that the chief good and su-
preme end of conduct are to be found in
pure devotion TO others.
I'm short, 'altruism means otheris.n
DO unto others as you would that men
should do unto you
Every day brings some opportunity of
rendering service of some kind or another

the law of brotherhood which leads us
TO regard our brothers. interests as Of
more Importance than our own. We are
To desire one anothers good We are TO
rejoice I'm one another's prosperity.
I'VE are to pity one anothers misery.
That Is the highest, finest kind OF altru-
ism. All other uses of tho word are
meaningless"
In lighter vein these papers were inter-
spersed by readings as follows:

Few mothers realize the valve of "A
nursery table. IL can be OF any size, but
IL must be high. so that the mother need
not stoop an the least when handling the
baby. A tiny mattress or a folded quilt
or blanket must be placed upon the ta-
BILE, and over IL spread a small sheet.
Upon this the baby Is laid when chang
ing its clothing.
Cleanliness Is an important factor TO a
childs wellbeing, and bathing is one OF
the chief means TO this end Yet II is one
that must be administered with tudg-
ment. a delicate child should not be
immersed In water more than once "a
week; a strong, robust one Will not be
harmed by plunge bath every morning.
\ quick sponge bath. followed by "A thor
ough rubbing. will be well borne by al
most any child
Draughts must be avoided; the room
should be as warm as 20 degrees Fahren-
heit and the water about 100 degrees for
the babys bath. A pure white soap
should be used, and soft washcloth Is
preferable To sponge, which is diitUplt
TO keep clean. The eyes should be lightly
washed the first thing. and everything
should be al hand and kept warm before
the baby is undressed
The child should be carefully dried by
patting IL with a soft towel. The deli
cate skin cannot stand oeing rubbed. The
textures Of the arms and legs and all
places where two folds OF skin come to-
gether should be carefully dried and then
powdered with a good talcum powder.
When child is restless. nothing Is
more refreshing than a sponge bath.

A team belonging to the Lewistown

at each bride to prevent serious
runaway. Those who stood in the
street assisting were bruised, hail
stones passing through their hats
and striking their heads with the vio-
lence OF a rock. One was hit SO hard
that he staggered and fell. while sew
eral had Jumps on their heads and
faces for hours afterward.
W. ID. Deaton, who was passing on
the bench, was quite seriously injured
and he afterwards stated he thought
Tor a few moments that Ii was all
over, except what the coroner might
do.
Chimneys were stripped oisoot and
a general house cleaning followed.
So far as vegetation was concerned
there was little left. Young limbs OF
a half inch in diameter were torn off
OF the trees and all small shrubbery
was stripped and felled. Shingles
lwere torn of Of roofs and parties

more than mile wide but 1t covered
a considerable distance, being report

nothing to compare with the hail
storm experienced Saturday after.
noon.
With roar as Of fast coming
train the hail approached from the
west and carried complete devasta-
tion in its path. The first few stones
that fell struck terror, and when the
storm was fairly on those who were
caught out thought they would GER
tainly be killed. The velocity Of the
hail stones was that OF bullets and
heavy wagon sheets were no protec-
tion, while window glass was every
where shattered.
A few of the largest stones were
measured and were from AZ to 81
inches in circumference. And they
fell thick and fast, In fact two hours
after the storm had passed the foot
hills OF the Judith looked as though
a winters snow had covered the
earth.
Few window panes facing the west
or southwest but were broken and
front offices facing the storm looked

coming through the broken panes
