DON'T KNOCK.

If there is any chance to boom
business, boom it. Hold up your
head, smile and look for better
things. Hide your little hammer
and try to speak well of others.
When a stranger drops in, jolly him.
Tell him this is the greatest town on
earth-and it is. Don't discourage
him by speaking i'll of your neigh
bors. Lead him to believe he has at
last struck a place where white peo-
pie live. Don't knock
Help yourself along and push
your friends with you. BE a good
fellow. No man ever got rich by
trying to make others believe he
was the only man in town who knew
anything. You can't climb the lad
der of success by trealing on others
corns. Keep off the corns and don't
knock.
You're not the only. There are
others. There's no end of fun
minding your own business. 1t
makes other people like you. No
body gets stuck on knocker. --Ex-
change.

THIS is so AGGRAvATING!

Il. E. Collins state treasurer is the
foremost man of the line who might
be chosen by the governor to sue
ceed Sen. Clark, in case of that gen
tleman's return. There are many
democrats who might justly claim
the big chair, if past services were
to be the onl y criterion. Among
those, w. G. Conrad of Cascade
county is head and shoulders above
the rest His appointment would
probably be satisfactory to the OF
ponents of Mr.. Clark, but not espec-
tally SO to his friends. Then if the
question of partisan service were to
be the only gauge Editor Durston
of the Standard, G. S. Hartman of
Gallatin county, Fred Whiteside of
Flathead county, or Congressman
Campbell of Silver Bow county,
might stand in the order of success
ion. Indeed, Col. Jim Brown of
Butte or even Gov. Smith himself is
not out of the range of possibilities.
But should the appointing power
be exercised it is generally believed
that the governor will use the acci
dental prerogative more wisely than
to name one whose past acts have
positively identified him with the
"Daly crowd" The purpose of the
executive would seem rather to plac
ate the two factions by choosing one
as far removed as possible from the
feud, even at a small sacrifice of GER
ebral potency. For really what law
provides of necessity that a senator
shall have brains.
But if fine governor should un-
screw the handspring of his. back
bone and conclude to appoint a
Clark democrat, then look at the
score of added possibilities-the
irascible Neills, the selfsacrifcing
Days or the honest Johns. And
then what's the matter with Han
nah? 1t will readily be seen that
the range of chances grows apaoe
and nobody can peel the bark off
the future.
And again no one can predict
what the United States senate will
do with the governors appointment,
and the whole prospect is "sicklied
DER with the pale cast of thought"
For the Independent may be mis-
taken in its augury that ''The next
senator from Montana will be a dem
ocrat."

paying practices in the state, and he's
comparatively young"
Good lawyer?' asked a listener.

good business man. That means

wouldn't take il petty case even when
he was wearing summer clothes in

J. J. Hill has at last told all about

to be on ''this side" of the river.
The people of Great Falls are re-

"on the other side," and since it is
finally deci'led to build on 'sthis
side," the long expected boom
may soon be expected.

CHAPTER X.

At break of day next morning, Ma
marah, accompanied by her maidens,
dressed all in sad garments of mourn
ing, passed through the streets Of Miz-
peh and wendell their way toward the
mountains, and, as they passed along,
behold the people came forth Of their
houses to look upon them. and ever as
they saw the maidens, in their sack
cloth and ashes, men and women, and
even little children, lifted up their
voices and wept, for the vow that Jeph-
than had vowed was known unto all
the people; also that the maiden Ma
marah was gone, according unto GUS
tom, to bewail upon the mountains
with the maidens, her companions.
And as the ma1dens walked with sad
and measured steps, the maiden Ma
marah walked ever at their head, her
stately height and noble form swathed
in sackcloth. And, although the hood
Of her mantle hid her face from view.
the people said she sobbed in passing,
because that they saw the fluttering
rise and fall of her breast beneath the
folds of her gown.
But Namarah was not weeping. Her
brow was calm and solemn, and her
great eyes serene as be stars. Her
vigil had made her pale as the ashes
wherewith she had sprinkled her gar
ments, but the look Of her face was
strong and confident, and ever she
whispered in the silence of her heart
"He will deliver"
AS the town was left behind, and the
rugged mountain path up which they
were to wend their toilsome way was
come in view, Namarah paused, and
the maidens who followed, pausing
also, say her part the folds of her gar
ment and take therefrom the mes
senger-dove which had already served
SO faithfully. She spake no word,
neither looked she to the right nor the
left, while all the maidens wondered
but lifting it to her lips she gently
kissed it, then raising her arm above
her head she held it on her open palm
giving it little impulse upward, at
which it spread it's wings and flew,
with sure and steady flight backward
along the path that they had come.
Namarah stood and looked at it until
the whiteness of it's feathers was even
one with the whiteness of the clouds
and then she turned about and began
to climb the mountain-path, her maid
ems following. Then were there tears
in her eyes, in that moment, which
overlooked and fell upon her cheek, but
no eye there was that saw them.

His Fest Ideas.

That the American man with the
hoe" does not find the life of the farm
stultifying must surely be inferred
from the words of an old tiller of the
soil, who came across a classical VOL
ume and found in Plato a kindred
spirit. The good American farmer
called upon a doctor, and was ushered
into the library. at once the well-filled
book-shelves drew his attention. Are
you fond of reading?" asked the doc
tor, noting the wandering gaze. well,
yes" returned the farmer, modestly
II should be pleased to lend you book
to take home with YOU" said the other.
Just take any one that you think
you'd like to read" ooh, I'm no good
at selectin'," replied the old man.
you pick one out, DOCTOR" So the
doctor, in a spirit Of fun, gave the
farmer a book written by Plato. The
old man went away, and at the end Of
a week reappeared with the book I'M
der his arm. WELL" queried the doc
tor, did you read the book?" eyes, I
did," was the emphatic answer. "And
what did you think of it," 1T was
fust-rate," responded the farmer. 1--WE
read it through from kiver to kiver. I
never heard tell of this fellow Plato
before, but all the same I'm glad to
find that the old chap has been writing
up some of my very best ideas"

wed, 50 will I live lonely like tho mate
less bird, until mine end shall come.
Then, while the bird still rested be-
tween them, they clasped each other
closer yet, for with the rising Of the
sun tomorrow Namarah and her maid
ems were to set forth unto the noun
tains, and this was their hour of part
ing.
Long time they rested there alone.
after the bird had fluttered off to its
house, and ever the sound of its sad
complaining came unto their ears.
1T shall be my companion while
thou art gone" said Adina, "and at
night 1 will take it with me, so that
it's mourning shall be made against the
warmth of my heart, that hath no
voice wherewith to utter the greatness
of it's VICE. ..
Nevertheless, I shall hear its COM
plainings even with the ears Of my
SOUL" said Namarah, "and my heart
shall answer them, in sounds inaudible
that thy listening soul may hear. And
now must I leave thee, beloved, for my
father waiteth for our parting to be
over, that he may even speak with me
himself"

An Ideal of True Greatness.

A Cleveland paper tells story Of a
street incident which shows the ideal
of greatness which the sensational
newspapers, with their extravagant at
tention to athletics" are intoxicating
among the street boys. Two very dirty
boys of this class were engaged In dis
figuring as much as possible every face
on the advertisements on a big hill-
board. They turned the actresses jLto
bearded ladies, put cigars in the
mouths of respectable aged gentlemen.
and gave Admiral Dewey black eye.
Then one of them started with his pen
Gil for a face in the middle of tho
board. But the others called out:
"Hey! Don't do anything to that"
"Why not?" asked the first. "Why.
don't you know? That's Jeffries, the
champion!" They left the face un-
mutilated, looked respectfully at It .
moment. and trudged along.

to take my spirit back to Him who
gave it, and so leave thee here upon
the earth, will it seem too hard thing
to wait with patience until the hour of
thy release from earth and flesh shall
come, when thy spirit shall again meet
mine?"
''Too hard a thing, Namarah! I
could wait till eternity were ended
sooner than I could love any other
maiden than thee!"
"Ah, sweet, sweet is thy love and
loyalty beloved" saith Namarah; land
my heart is even warmed and COM
forted to hear thee speak those words.
Nevertheless, there is thing would
have thee remember. If it should be,
when I am dead, that thou shouldst
ever love another maiden-for thou art
young, and there be others worthy OF
thy love, and life alone is long and
sad would not have thee live unwed
because of me. If thou choosest to
marry thou hast my full consent, and
even my blessing from Heaven"
But at her words the young man
thrust her from him almost roughly
and turned on her the first ungentle
look his face had ever worn to her.
"Thou art unkind and cruel unto me
Namarah," he said, land thy love is
not like to mine for thee, or thou
couldst not think possible the thing
whereof thou speakest. The soul OF
Adina slept within him until, at touch
of thy soul, it walked; and it lives but
for thee alone. If thou must die, the
alone, and my soul shall even wait fol
thy SOUL"
