a NEW DEPA RTVRE.

~HE Fourth of July is the date
set for the beginning of the civil
government planned for the di>

order in the Philippines will supplan'
the military regime under particularly
auspicious circumstances and the Varl
ous departments of the new government
will take up their work with every pros
meet of success. Within a few week

BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
Poisons Plants.

The state of Montana. through the ex-
perimental station at the Agricultural
college in Bozeman. is endcsvoriny to do
all it can toward the discovery of the
various poisonous plants in Montana, to-
gether with the proper antidote and the
proper course Of medical treatment to be
given stock suffering from poisoning
caused by eating any of these poisonous
plants. In making its Investigations tho
experimental station asks the support
and help of all stockmen and there is no
doubt that such help will be freely CIV
en-, as the discovery Of these poisonous
plants and the further discovery of the
necessary treatment to give stock poi
soned is: for the benefit of the stockmen
and the farmers.
The study of these plants poisonous
to stock is being made simultaneously
and in conjunction with the United
States authorities, and thes people who
are endeavoring to assist the stock In
terests of the state should be encour-
aged in every way by such stock inter-
ests and should be sent at all times the
informatio they desire. What Is de-
sired i: detailed reports of any losses
now occurring and which have occurred
in the past. the conditions under which
such losses occurred, together with SAM
pies of the plants supposed to be respon-
sible for the poisoning. II 1t is possible
to secure them.
In this way the state department and
the national agricultural department will
be enabled not only to discover how to
avoid the localities where such plants
abound, but will also be able to tell how
to destroy these plants and what RENE.
dies to use in case Of animals poisoned
by them. It Is something in which the
cooperation of every one is desirable
and should be given freely and voluntar-
lily, especially in reporting all new cases
of poisoning which may occur. The
whole thing means much money in the
pockets of the stockmen; and II the agrf.
cultural people are willing to do wha,
they can to save the stockmen money
surely the stockmen themselves should
not be backward in coming to theil
help.-Great Falls Leader.

Three Days Celebration.

OUR GRAY OLD PIONEERS.

Every day upon the street
These old pioneers we meet,
Hair of white and hair of gray
Some with hair all flown away.
Lawyers. judges, doctors and
Men who build with ruling hand
All the shrewd and puzzling tricks
In the field of politics.
Men in raiment fine, and those
CARRIED in palmer ring clothes;
Staid they seem and dignified,
Eyes deep set with conscious pride
As they thread the ground which they
Won for us in many fray.
With the Savages they found
Guarding this their hunting ground,
But their dignity all fades,
AS the dew from grassy blades
Meath the morning sun, when they
Meet upon their festal day;
Meet with loving clasp of hand,
Slap each others shoulders, and
Throw their titles all aside
AS they cry. half-teary-eyed
Out to Sam" or Jack or Lew"
"Durn your pictures, howdy do!
Say, old boy, you're looking fine
Put 'er there for aud lang syne!"
How they talk of early days.
Eyes with old-time light ablaze-
Though the frame be weak the tongue
And the memory yet are young.
Tales Of that historic past
Crowd upon each other fast
AS the old boys backward gaze
At the scenes of other days,
Hear the sharp, blood-curdling yell
From the painted sons of hell!
Winding DER the heated plains,
Hear the popping of the whips,
Feel again upon the lips
Coat of clinging alkali
AS the sun from CLASSY sky
Shot its fiercest burnings down
On the desert bare and brown.
But their bygone sufferings seem
Now as but a fading dream
AS the old boys sit around
On the shaded pleasure ground
Spinning yarns with many jest
OF the troubled early West.
There. now, Billy, don't git gay.
What's the use to lie that way?
! Tell the story straight and fair,
For remember. I was there!
No red paint. but solid stuff:
| Gee. the truth is red enough"
And the old girls! Bless their hearts!
| How the tear unbidden starts
! From the eyes once young and bright
AS in glancing round they light
On the faces that they knew
When. with courage tried and true,
Fearlessly they took their stand
Perils rife on every hand.
! BY their husbands sides to share
With them every weighty care.
| Children call them Grandma" now
! AS they sit and listen how
In the early days they faced
Dangers on the desert waste.
But they're young again today,
| They forget their heads are gray
| AS with shake and kiss they meet.
And with warm embrace greet
Sister. pioneers. why, Sue!

Echoes of thrilling past, 5-
May their few rema lining years
Bring them peace and when at last
From the earthly camp. they move

May the hand of God above
Point the way and soothe their pains
Guide them in His owe supreme
To the camp beyond the stream.

Did not that one murder most distinct ly change the history of the entire world?
 If Cromwell had not resolved to remove the head of Charles from his lace collar. would England be what she is today a really free nation and genuine repub- lie?
 Did not the murder of Lincoln, uniting in sympathy and regard all good people in the north and south. hasten the era of American good feeling and perhaps prevent the renewal of fighting between brothers?
 The murder of Caesar certainly changed the history of Europe, besides preventing that great man from ultimately display ing vanity as great as his ability.
 When wise old sayings. such as that of Disraei about assassination, are taken up it Is worth while, instead of swallow ing them whole, to analyze them We in~ vite our readers to think over this ques- ton. The time devoted to 1t will not bs wasted Any kind of harmless thinking is as good for the brais as any kind of harmless exercise is good for the mus cle..
 In expressing the belief that certain murders have changed the history of the world" we do not mean that any assas- sination has ever changed radically the history of the human race. That history is mapped out for us ahead and Is not left to our direction In the progress of the whole race the coming and going of this or that drop of humanity-common feion or greatest emperor-counts not at all.
 A great man murdered may mean some slight change in what we call his- tory-the petty transactions of few hun- dred years But real history spreads over periods so vast that we cannot compre- hend them, and nothing that happens to one man can have permanent effect.

What AssasssnatsonS Have
 Dome lo Ch0nge History

From the New York Journal. June l, 1901.
 Has assassination ever changed the worlds history? If so, which one?
 The question will perhaps interest our readers who devote themselves to the philosophical consideration of history. It may bring us some interesting letters.
 Is there any doubt that the assassina- tion of Marat by Charlotte Corday changed history to some extent? What proof Is there that France would have settled down into imperial Napoleonism and prosperity if Marat, the wonderful eye doctor. had been allowed to live to retain his absolute mastery of the Paris populace?
 Napoleon gradually developed into a pretty strong man, and nobody bothered him. If Marat had been living when Ma poleon returned from Italy and had re- tained his populistic pull it is quite likely that he would have got hold of Napoleon and cut his head off. He had a passion for cutting off the heads of those who made themselves conspicuous His mur- der may have changed the earth's history.
 Was not the history of the world changed when Philip, the father of Alex ander the Great, was murdered in the midst of his festivals and rejoicings? Left unmurdered he might have reigned until long past the day that Alexander the Great died and went under ground.
 Philips entire ambition was really mod est. He simply wanted to rule over all of Greece. His idea was a small political trust
 Compared to his son Alexander, he was like the humble president of the stove trust compared to John D. Rockefeller. If Alexander had died before his father died, who would have known how to thrash and coax Creeks into line? Who would have conquered Persia and pro- Vided such fine historical reading?

THE MARCH OF THE BEAR.

From the New 1Ork WOrlQ.
 Russia Is having everything her own way in Asia. France is her ally and Is therefore compelled to look and act pleased. Germany Is indifferent. Eng land Is unable even to show her teeth, because, as Lord Salisbury said with grim satire the other day, "all her teeth are In South Africa" So Russia is push ing cheerfully on to the absorption of Northern China, is crawling up through the Himalayas on Engiand's Indian frontier and is closing in upon Persia.
 It is not strange that England is growl- ing. But Russia Is not disturbed. And as Russia is better adapted to control Asiatic people than is any other European power, because she Is at once Occidental and Oriental, the cause of civilization and trade development will be advanced by her triumph, and England's discom- flture can be viewed with equanimity.
 The direct cost of the war upon the South African republics is huge. But 1t is trifie in comparison with the many and mighty items in the indirect bill.
