hasty approval of the majority verdict,

When Bears We're Watch;!oCs.


Three or four hundred years ago 1t
was common thing among the in
habitants Of Scandinavia and Den
mark to catch and train young bears.
Sometimes they We're kept for pets,
but We're very often used as beasts of
burden. 1t was not strange 70 see
bruin walking like man, with large
bundle strapped to his shoulders. He
was also trained to work water
wheels and to draw water from the
wells. But more curious use yet to
which he was put was that of Il
watchdog. Nearly all the houses and
castles of wealthy families were
guarded by trained bears. and many a
wild animal and robber were driven
away by the faithful bear. who was a
safer guard than many dogs.
The sun bear of Asia is very easily
tanned. A story is told of one owned
by an English nobleman which was
the pet of his children. 1t had been
trained to sit at the table. and liked
champagne better than any other form
of meat and drink.

THE NEW LIBRARY.

The gift of $4,000 for IA free public
library in kalspell from Mr.. Carnegie
comes as a very acceptable Christmas
present to the people of kalispell and
vicinity.
The real value of the gift is not meas
urcd by the number of dollars but
rather by the increased interest and
pride in the library which it will create.
The gift will be most appreciated by the
ladies who have worked so hard to keep
up the library, and to them as we'll as
to Mr.. Edwards and the board of trade
the credit is due.
The conditions imposed with the gift
will be easily met the furnishing of Il
site and $1,000 per year for maintenance.
| The chief obstacle to be overcome will
be in securing books for the shelves of
the new building. The small number of
books in the old library will hardly
make a showing in the new building and
the citizens of kalspell will need to
bestir themselves to provide the books,
but in this matter the ladies' who have
done so much for the library in the past
can be depended upon to help the insti
tuition out, and by the time the building
is completed goodly fund will no doubt
be on hand to be used in the purchase
of books. Let every citizen put his
shoulder to the wheel and help the good
work along
1t is unfortunate that at the time Kal
ispel was laid out, sites for public
buildings and parks were not provided
for, as was done in Great Falls and other
modern cities. 1t would be most unfor
tunate, likewise. to have the new library
located out in the.s.suburbs for the pur-
pose of booming adjacent property, as
has been done with some other public
buildings in Kalispell. The city is the
owner of several different lots that are
fairly we'll located, and if none of these
are suitable the Townsite company can
well afford to donate site that will be
centrally located and we doubt not that
this will be done.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1870
TASTE OF IMPERIALISM.

On November 10 last Santiago lglesias
arrived in Porto Rico and was imme
diately arrested on the charge of being
labor agitator.
On December II he was convicted of
being in d conspiracy in 1900 to raise
wages in Porto Rico and was sentenced
to three years. four months and eight
DAYS in prison. Seven OF his companions
were convicted aud sentenced to shorter
terms al he same time,
In August. 800, the merchants Of
Porto Rico by agreement raised their
prices from pesos to dollars. an advance
of 40 cents. Iglesias and his companions
tried To effect the same raise in wages,
which act constituted the conspiracy.
The local federation of Porto Rico. a
branch Of the American Federation of
Labor, was ord, I dissolved as an lie
gal body.
The average American will find it
difficult to understand why a combina
ton of laborers to raise the price of
labor should be called a conspiracy while
a combination of merchants to raise the
price of goods is called Il legal act
In every land under the protection of
the American flag it has heretofore been
considered an honorable ambition for
the laborer to ende;vor to secure better
returns for his work, and such endeavors
when conducted in an orderly manner
have been protected by the courts, but
with the advent of the colonial policy it
seems the Stars and Stripes is no longer
to be an emblem of equality before the
law. But this is one OF the situations
brought about by the decision that the
Porto Rico. 1t is puerile for the admin
istration organs to claim that the laws
in Porto Rico against the lahorcr must
be respected. According to this doe
trine. il the institutions of polygamy
and slavery were recognized as lawful in
Porto Rico, the United States would be
bound to protect those institutions. 1t
is safe 10 say that II such discrimination
was shown against the capitalist who
went to Porto Rico the law would be
quickly swept aside, bu, it Is only a
laborer whose rights are trampled on
and well, that's different.

that came in spite of his vacillation dill
atoriness and lack of enterprise.
Suppose farmer of the Flathead
should leave his lands to the care of an
overseer for year and returning should
find that his lands had been made to
Weld ten thousand bushels, or double
the usual quantity. Then calling the
oyerseer before him he demands an ex-
PLANTATION and this conversation ensues:
Farmer Why did you not follow my
instructions as to blowing and caring for
the crop:
Overseer The season changed. l
raised ten thousand bushels. Why
Farmer-A mere accident. You were
dilatory in putting in the crop, vacillat
ing in caring for it and you lacked enter
prise in many respects.
Overseer-But have delivered to you
ten thousand bushels. Can you not
accept the result without criticising the
particular manner in which your in
structions were carried out!
Farmer-Not at all; you shall be tried
for failing to follow my instructions to
the letter. Results are of no conse
quence; discipline must be enforced.
Schley has been found guilty of dila-
toriness in movement where prompt
ness would have caused him to miss the
Spanish feet. He has been found guilty
of lack of enterprise where to have been
enterprising might have cost him his
best ship. He has been convicted of
vacillation vacillation which wiped out
the Spanish fleet.
And this was the real crime which
angered his petty traducers. They
could not brook that any one should
succeed but themselves, and in the light
OF his success their failure casts /,
shadow in which turks the envy and
malice Of their narrow souls. Schley
can well afford to bear with composure
the rancorous abuse OF his accusers, for
when the shafts of envy and malice have
been spent this fact will stand in history
like a lofty mountain upon the plain:
That he accomplished more for his
country in ii single hour of his life than
did all of his enemies combined in the
entire span of their existence. LA ,ses
1t is probable that an effort will be
made in congress to relieve Schley of
the odium that has been heapcd upon
him, but that it will succeed is not at all
certain. :. If left TO itself congress would
pass such a measure with alacrity, but
the powers that be are against him and
the party lash will be used to prevent
| the consideration of such a measure.

FATHER QUAIL'S STORY
OF BOBWHITE.


Out in the orchard in a tall sweet
cherry tree lived Chucklecheel1 Chip
munk. The beehives stood near all in
a row. and the clover tops nodded and
swayed as the little brown bees went
to and fro among them gathering the
honey.
The robins were singing in the apple
tree. the bluebirds and bobolinks trilled
their merriest melodies. and mingling
with the sweet bird songs came the
faint tinkling of the cowbells from the
pond where the yellow lilies grew.
Chucklecheek Chipmunk poked his
nose out Of his snug little hole and, see
ing no one near. ran out to the end Of
Il broken limb and began his funny

Then he ran down the trunk Of the
tree and along the ground till he came
to the rail fence. Never before in all
his short life had Chuckle been away
so far, and as he sat on the top rail
and looked back at the little hole in
the cherry tree he thought of what his
mother had often told him-that he
must never go beyond the beehvcs.
But, oh, how tempting looked that long
zigzag fence, and the sun was so bright
and the air so fresh!

"Bobwhite!" And then at last he
knew. for there. half hidden in the tall
grasses. sat old Father Quail himself,
and he it was who called Bobwhite.
Filled with wonder at this strange

GENERAL DEWET INACTIVE
LEADER is DEAD.
None of the Accounts of His Death
Correspond and All Are Denied
BY De ViIIiers.

, Durham, Natal, Oct. 19.-General
Dewet's continued inactivity has pro-
duced the impression among military
men that he is either dead or incap-
acitated through illness or wounds.
According to a letter from Pretoria
a prominent Boer recently wrote to
a friend relating the terrible hard
ships suffered by the Beers in the
field, especially from lack of sur
geons.
Dewet for example, wrote this Boer,
Suffered most horribly before he
died. He was wounded in the should
er by a splinter from a shell and the
wound gangreened in consequence Of
its being dressed with dirty rags"
Five Beers captured at different
places recently said Dewet was dead
but all gave different version of his
death. Against these reports is the
statement of Pet de Villiers, field cor
net, recently taken prisoner in the
northeastern part of the Orange River
Colony, who said that on the morning
of his capture he took breakfast with
General Dewet.

Delaware, O., Oct. 19.-The open

by the republicans was considered
the most largely attended political
meeting held in the state for years.
A feature of the occasion, from the

Warner or by Nash and Nippert who
head the state ticket, and one by
Senators Foraker and Hanna.
When Senator Foraker referred to
President Roosevelt entertaining
Prof. Booker T. Washington, as a rep

was quite a demonstration. The col
