"All the lower animals are at rest
here; they find all that is required to
give them full satisfaction, but man

of life for pillow on which to lay
his head, or a place of repose for his
heart. The Creator seems to have en-

mon, he has set eternity in the heat.
"Other creatures are happy while
immersed in time, but we have an
other nature in which we find pre-

existence of an unseen order of things
beyond this world from which alone
man can obtain the means of full sat-

A MODERN PORTIA.

Golfers Weekly: With a gesture ex-
pressive of firm resolution, as If the af-
fair were quite settled, the Countess
Madeline pointed to her lacQuered Japa-
nese cabinet that shimmered in the
lamplight and said. very gravely:
"Open one of those three drawers, VAL
entine, and be sure that you choose the
right one. Each drawer contains an an
swer to the prayer which you have ad-
dressed to me for the last six months. If
you open that which contains the an
swer Yes I will be yours and will marry
you as soon as you please. But take care
that you do not get the wrong answer;
for, If you do, you will never see me
again."
"Alas!" said Valentine. "theye are two
chances to one against me. How cruel
you are, my darling!"
"Well,' said the countess, "if I marry
you I can at least lay the blame on
Fate"
The young man hesitated a long time
His hand wandered from drawer to
drawer, not venturing to touch any, and
| his hear sank with the fear OF choosing
| wrongly.
At last he shut his eyes and opened
drawer at hazard.
oh, rapture! The little piece of pink
paper, when u%nfolded, disclosed to his
| glad eyes the exquisite word "Yes,"
In ecstacy he clasped the blushine
Madeline In his arms and covered hel
face with kisses.
She did not deny him.
Valentine, being but a bashful swain
never knew that he had bucked VI
against a ~foregone conclusion.

MONTANA.

February 22nd a meeting of western
to discuss the la~nd-leasing problem and
the question Of ceding the unoccupied
lands of the west to the several states.
1t was a meeting of great Importance,
having a direct bearing on proposed
legislation covering the propositions dis
cussed. The governors of Colorado, Ari-
iona. Utah. Wyoming, Nebraska, Idaho
and South Dakota were present.
But the governor Of M~ontana-where
was he? Was he at his post of duty in
Helena, too busy to go to Washington
to attend a meeting that directly on
cerned the future welfare and prosperity
Of our state? No; he was in Washington
city, within a stones throw Of that meet
ing, but was too busy listening to the
Clark case to care a a about the arid
lands of Montana. The arid political
waste which he saw stretching out be-
fore him was enough, without bothering
his head about prospective legislation
| for the benefit of the commonwealth
over which he is supposed to be presiding
in an executive capacity.
Shortly before Governor Smith left for
Washington, via New York, a meeting
was to have been held in Salt Lake for
the purpose of securing unity of action
on the part of western governors in
whose states these lands lay, but it fell
through because Of non-attendance,
Montana's executive being too busy get
York, to attend. No doubt the Washing

Washington Star: Children set queer
associations of ideas in their heads at
times. A little lad on Capitol hill has a
playmate of his own age in the son of
a poor neighbor. The son Of toll visited
his richie friend the other day wearing
a gorgeous red tie. The son of wealth
eyed the tie %enviously for a while, and
hen asked Benny where he got it.
MY mamma dyed it for me for a
birthday present" lisped Benny.
After Benny went home Rex played
listlessly about for a time and then
leaned on his mothers knee, thoughtfully
studying the pictures in the fire.
Mamma" he said, finally. "Benny's
tie was awful pretty, wasn't it,"
Eyes, dear"

Benny's when l get a birthday"
