That is rather a doubtful story that
comes from New York through the
Bradstreet's report. It is to the effect
that the charter for the Canadian
road to connect with the proposed line
from Kalispell, has been denied by
the Dominion parliament Even
though true, it is not likely that the
construction of the road will be seri-
ously interfered with. There is no
cessation of the work of the surveyors
and it is an even bet that J. J. Hill
knows what he is doing and what to
expect.

THE RIGHT OF CRITICISM.

That the press is justified in criti-
cising travelling or other show COM
panies which depend for their exist
ence upon public favor has recently
been affirmed by the supreme court
OF Iowa, in passing upon an appeal
from the district court awarding a
verdict to the defendant in a libel
suit brought by one of the notorious
Cherry sisters.
When these sisters were making
tours of the state the Des Moines
Leader republished from the Odebolt
Chronicle a sarcastic article about
their entertainment, beginning with q
declaration that 'Effie is an old jade

the district court, after hearing the
testimony of the performers, ordered

reviewing the testimony, said:

Actors Who SHUTTER.

It would seem that the stage is not
only the last profession that would be
chosen by person afflicted by stutter-
ing, but that a sufferer would never
dream Of selecting that profession.
Yet it is fact that some well known
actors and singers labor under this dis
advantage.
The strangest thing about it Is that
the sad impeachment which Is so pain
fully evident in private life seems to
vanish entirely when they are on the
boards.
It is curious that appearance on the
stage or in the pulpit should have this
beneficial effect, for Sufferers in other
walks Of life do not lose their impedi-

astic their love for their profession

Queer Timepieces Owned by Two of
England's Queens.
Among the treasures of a Swiss mu.
scum, inserted in the top of an old fash
Toned pencil case, is the tiniest watch
ever constructed. 1t is only three-six-
teenths Of an inch in diameter, and its
little dial not only indicates hours, min
utes and seconds, but also the days Of
the month. So perfectly formed is this
lilliputian watch that it keeps excel
lent time and Is a marvellous piece Of
mechanical workmanship.
Two Of the most elaborate and curl
Gus watches which the world has ever
seen belonged to Queen Elizabeth and
her unfortunate contemporary, Mary,
queen Of Scots. Good Queen Bess had
watch made for her in the form of q
duck, with beautifully chased feathers,
the lower part Of which opened. The
face was Of silver, with an elaborate
gilt design, and the whole was kept in
case Of brass, covered with black
leather thickly studded with big silver
knobs.
The Ill fated Mary was the possessor
Of watch in the form Of skull. The
dial was introduced where TIE palate
should have been, and the works occu-
pied the place Of brains in the crani-
! UNI. In the hollow of the skull. more.
over, was hell which had works of its
own and by means Of which a hammer
struck out the hours upon it.
One Of the choicest rarities of the
Bernal collection was a book shaped
| watch. This curious time indicator was
made by order Of Bogislaus XIV, Duke
of Pomerania. in the time Of Gustavus
Adolphus. On the face Of the book,
where the dial Of the watch is set,
there is an engraved inscription of the
duke and his titles and armorial bear
ings. together with the date. 1927. On
the back the engravings are also very
finely and slkillfully executed. among
them being the portraits of two gentle
men OF the seventeenth century. The
dial plate is of silver, chased in relief,
while the insides are beautifully chased
with figures of birds and foliage. The
watch has two separate movements and

over this bell. the metal Is ornamental

Parents and Friends:
On behalf Of the Grammar School of
1901. I wish to thank you for your at.

courteous attention to our simple
programme. We appreciate more than
all else the tender care and help Of
our parents and the encouragement
Of our friends in all our school life.
We are met here tonight to receive
these diplomas as an evidence that
our school work in the Kalispell
Grammar school is over and as a
measure Of our progress.
The first steps in life are the most
important ones. for then we form our
Ideals and acquire habits which are

But the simple work we have done
in the Grammar school is more i'm
portant, for it is the foundation.
Honorable members of the board of
education, ladies and gentlemen-The
members of the class of 1901 thank
you sincerely for your interest in
their welfare, and for so literally pro-
viding for their comfort and advance
ment.
Teachers-We wish to thank you
for the interest you have shown in
us in all the past years and for your
nelp and guidance.
Classmates-What shall l say to
you? 1t is all over. Eight years made
up Of falls and springs and winters

picture it comes up before me. The
days when we entered the primary
school and held primers in our little
hands. often upside down, for we
could read them just as WE'LL and
made mud pies after school. Bye and
bye we discard primers and mud pies,
have many chums and many secrets.
And so on through the years, most
days are bright, some are slightly
darkened by the sorrow of the mis-
doer, who needs must learn that the
"way of the transgressor is hard"
At last we reach the eighth year. That
is the longest year Of all. We look
forward to the High school and count
the days till we graduate from the
Grammar school.
And now it is all over--the fuss and
the worry, the mistakes and tri-
umphs, the dresses and flowers and

three whole months we can stroll of

and chew gum without being told to
throw it out of the window.
Then | suppose we must lay it all
aside as some old garment and fresh
into the Freshman class of the High
school.
We must say goodbye to our teach
ers, for though we may keep them as
friends their relations as teachers
cease.
We must say goodbye to each for
few months and then we hope to meet
once more. Until then, classmates,

events of general public interest or
Importance during the past two-score
wears with which he has not been
closely associated. In benevolent
work Col. Power held supreme place
and he has probably accomplished
more in collecting funds for orphans

of which he was always especially
proud was In connection with the yell
low fever epidemic in 1878, when he re-

nearly $4,000 among the afflicted
towns of Mississippi.

In the death of Col. Power the State
of Mississippi has lost one Of her best

commonwealth could have loved he
