field OF their convictions, and their
friends, though sad at loosing them,
are yet proud Of their deeds.
The nearest ito a state memorial that
has yet been proposed is the above
beautiful memorial window that was
planned by Rev. George c. sturl. Of Bill
lings, the Fighting Parson'' Of the
First Montana regiment. A fine ad-
dition has recently been built to the
Methodist Episcopal church Of Billings.
Of which Rev. Stulle was pastor, and he
conceived the idea of asking the boys,
This boys" as he calls them to sub
scribe to the memorial to their dead
comrades.
No one has a better fright to ask the
boys for help. He was the closest to
their daily life of any of the regiment
or even company officers. He wrote
their letters, looked after their mail. did
errands for them. visited and ministered
to the sick, buried the dead, and took
charge Of the execution Of their dying
wishes. He was at the battle front
as often as almost any soldier in the
ranks. Though not a coMbatant, he
more than once carried a gun in the
field. and in case the regiment had been
hard pressed. would have been q daring,
resourceful soldier. He has earned the
right to ask them, In the name of their
brave dead, to help rear a lasting nronu-
ment to those who did not come back.
The window is to be one of the finest,
probably the very finest Of the kind in
the state. 1t will be Of stained glass. of
imposing size, and will cost, at q reduced
price. $500. Not all the boys who WORE
the blue were Methodists, nor yet of any
other denomination; many, perhaps. ere
not followers Of any church creed. @At
they do respect the man who cared for
their spiritual welfare in the field. There
is perhaps no church on which all agree.
though all believe that the fitting place
for q memorial of any kind is some
church. The church Is to all men the

LIGHT IN THE EARLY DAYS
How the Pioneers Wives and Children
Made Tallow Tips.

In no other way can the changes which
have taken place since the pioneers came
to the west be better illustrated than
by the story OF the means they had for
purposes Of illumination. The chief re-
lance Of the pioneers in this line was
the tallow candle, and it was considered
very good light in those times. Man
has always known how to make light
for himself since the discovery of fire,
and he has utilized many different ma
terials. always taking the best that could
be found. In the pioneer days the best
was tallow. and the pioneers bred cat
tie for sustenarce and light. For this
reason, in addition to others, beef cattle
were raised and slaughtered by the early
settlers, and the killing was one of the
features of the early winter season.
The pioneers did many things in COM
mon. and the killing Of the cattle and
hogs they raised was one Of them.
'Butchering day" was considerable Of an
event on the new farm. When the kill
ing was completed it was customary to
distribute porti:ns Of the beef around the
neighborhood 70 be returned in kind as
the process was repeated on the other
farms. ana thus the people solved the
problem OF fresh meat supply for them
selves. The same was done when other
animals were slaughtered. and with
. what was left to 60 into the beef or pork
y barrel the farmer provided for his win
ter supply.
l. The tallow was turned over to the fe-
male portion Of the family and used for
cthe making Of the winter supply of can
dies. These were made in various ways,
sometimes by running into moulds and
sometimes by the dipping process. The
r"tallow Dip was one of the pioneer
Q institutions. but az the settlers could af-
ford 1t the more scientific nodded candle
took its place. This change came about
gradually. >.

set Of molds in a neighborhood. but. like
everything else they were at the service

to farm until they had accomplished
their purpose. It required no small do.

at making candles usually resulted in

roads may lead from every cardinal
point, terminating at a stated center, so
these arguments advanced in the lecture
and class rooms had for their end a

The disbanding yesterday Of the sew

The feeling Of cordially among the
teachers and their instructors has been
most marked. Thursday evening this
evidence of good fellowship eliminated
in what Miss Mullins, the officer presid-

gymnasium later. The affair was car

jectors.
The institute closed yesterday with
the reading of appropriate resolutions,

Diplomacy is a fine art, and in it's
successful practice much depends upon
the observation Of social conventions.
Some of the most successful diplomats
seem to spend most of their time at
dinners and parties, apparently doing
nothing but enjoying themselves, but
in reality serving well their countries.
In truth, the reputation of country at
a foreign court and ofttimes it's well
fare in important issues depend very
largely upon the social abilities of it's
minister, for the man who is popular
socially is very likely to drive better
international bargain than his unso-
cable brother. This is well understood
at Washington, and the selection of a
chief for one of our foreign embassies
depends in no small part upon his So
cial culture.-Edward Page CASTOR in
WOman's Home Companion.
