had taken a prominent part in
the campaign; and the radical de-
parture of the Green Mountain
state on the liquor question con-
tinues to be the leading topic with
the New England papers. The
Springfield (Mass.) Republican
says: THE candidate for gov
ernor before the Vermont repub
lican convention who was nom
committal on the prohibition ques-
ton secures the nomination; the
candidate who has stood for the
high license and local option
policy secures the platform, and
the distinctively prohibition can
didate secures leave to withdraw.
Such is the outcome of the warm
contest waged over that state dur.
ing the past month, and it is in
dicative of a great change in pub
lie sentiment on tbs question of
dealing with the liquor traffic.
Evidently prohibition in Vermont
now trembles in the balance"

Mother at Prayer.

Once, says a writer, I suddenly open
ed the door Of my mothers ROOF and
saw her on her knees beside her chair
aud heard her speak my name in pray
e.. I quickly and quietly withdrew
with a feeling Of awe and reverence
in my heart Soon I went away from
home to school. then to college, then
Into LIES sterner duties. But I never
forgot that one glimpse of my mother
at prayer nor the one word-my own
name-which I heard her utter. Well
did I know that what I had seen that
day was but a glimpse of what was
going on every day in that sacred clos
ct Of prayer, and the consciousness
strengthened me a thousand times in
duty, in danger and In struggle. When
death came at last and sealed those
lips, the sorest sense of loss l felt was
the knowledge that no more would my
mother be praying for me.

Cor Wheels Made Of Money.

Every year our government destroys
nearly half a billion dollars worth of
soiled or torn bank notes, and after they
have been reduced to pnlp are used for
making railroad car weels. From a bank
note to a car wheel is about az radical a
transformation az the one brought about
in the case of all week, nervous and
sickly people who will use Hoatetter's
Stomach Bitters, the favorite American
remedy for stomach. liver and bowel com.
plants. A wineglassful before meals
will put the stomach in good condition to
digest the food and prevent the bowels
from becoming constipated. Every one
should keep it in the house to prevent
belching, fatulency, insomnia and ner-

THERE was a time, and not so
many years ago, when one or two
towns east of here claimed the dis
tinction of leading in the states
wool production. These places
marketed, perhaps, 100000 or
100000 pounds, and an occasional
wool buyer dropped in. Dickin-
son was also marketing about the
same amount of wool in those
days, but the production has in
creased from year to year until
now the buyers from Boston, St.
Louis and Philadelphia, from six
to eight, spend the season, a
month to six weeks, in Dickinson.
Last year the buyers found am H.
lion and a half pounds of wool in
the Dickinson market and this
year they will get fully two mil
lion pounds. Few people realize
the magnitude of this business
which is placing upwards of $780,
10000 in circulation. The wool
growers know that any day during
the shearing season they can fine
buyers in Dickinson who will pay
the highest market price for thei1
products and so they come from
long distances, from the NORTH
and from the south, to sell theil
wares. Buyers from the leading
houses of the country make head
quarters here, the same as in thu
large Montana markets.
