ONCE IN A WHILE.

1t is easy enough to be pleasant
While life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while is the one who
will smile
When everything goes wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years
And the smile that is worth the praises
of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.
1T is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray.
When without or within no voice of sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But it's only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor Of
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
BY the cynic, the sad. the fallen.
Who had no strength for the strife.
The worlds highway is numbered today
They make up the item of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion.
And the sadness that hides in smile
1t is these that are worth the homage OF
earth.
For we find them but once in a while.

gentleman of the oil. school, thoroughly
western in his ways and a jurist of
known ability. He is a favorite among
the attorneys at the par and his friend
ships extend the whole length of his
acquaintanceship. He is an old timer
and has been closely identified with the
growth and progress of the state, and
as judge of the United States court has
contributed largely to the prosperity
and welfare of the people.
Clerk Sproule has been identified with
the court ever since it's organizatio and
his ability, coupled with good nature
made him popular with all attorneys
soon after he was appointed to the posi-
ton Of clerk. He has a host of friends
in the cities OF Butte and Helena and
has several relatives here. Deputy
Clerk Stephens only recently entered the
employ of the United States court but
his ability and attention to work have
made him host of friends. He is very
popular with the younger element in the
city and is welcome in all homes He
served with the Montana regiment in the
Philippines, where he has a few natives
to his credit. He brought back many
trophies of the trip and they adorn the
walls of his office in the Owsley block.

The difficulties Jimmy Manning in Sc
curing a location in Washington are
fairly illustrative of the National
Leagues methods of fighting. That ex-
perience in connection with the similar
one they had in Philadelphia, has taught
the American League magnates that
they can not be as open and above
board in their transactions as they had
been hitherto. They made no secret Of
their movements in Philadelphia and
Washington. and thereby permitted the
National League to discover their inten-
ton and the locations for parks which
they were after. The old league at once
set agents secretly at work, and by
various inducements prevailed upon the
owners or tenants of adjacent property
to make protests against the admission
of base ball to their respective neigh
lborhoods. That was the the secret Of
the Philadelphia councils refusal to
grant the American League the use Of
the old Athletic clubs grounds. and that
was the reason for the many obstacles
Manning bumped against in Washing
ton. That was also the reason why the
American League covered its tracks so
carefully in Boston until it had an IRON
clad grip on the Huntington avenue
grounds. The young magnates have
learned that persons who fight in Hhe
dark must be fought in the dark-Chi-
cago Tribune.
