Judge Sawyer is furnishing his new
house which he built last fall near the
old laundry in very neat and tasty
manner. Everyone who goes through
his new apartments casts knowing
look at the Judge and "winks the

intent to commit matrimony, but we
notice that he feels nervous when he
sees a crowd of small boys and jumps
every time he hears a tin can rattle.

LABOR UNION MEETING.
Citizens Will be Invited to Speak on
the Labor Question.

Owing to the fact that the motives
and methods of the Lewistown Labor
Union are not generally understood,
1t has been decided by that organiza-
tion to hold meeting in the near fu-
ture at which all business men and
those interested are invited to be
present so that they may place what
views they have before the organiza-
tion and hear an explanation of what
1t is the intention of the Union to ac-
complish.
J. H. Bailey, the president OF the
organization, says that they are aware
that many of the business men OF Lew
istown think that an incompetent
workman will be protected by the I'm.
ion and that an inferior carpenter or
any other workman, under the Union
scale, will draw as much as the one
who is thoroughly competent. This
is emphatically denied by those in
charge of that organization, who state
that II a man cannot do the work he
hires to do he will be required to go
down the scale and work for ordinary
wages, and that no member of the
Union will be supported by that organ
ization in any unjust demands for un-
reasonable wages.
The object of the meeting is to en-.
deayor to establish a thorough under
standing between those who employ
labor and those who are employed
for the advantage of both.

Dogs In Patagonia.

In northern Patagonia n reward is
offered for the determination Of the
dogs that oyerrun that part Of the

Jumping together masses of school
children in what arc called classes, and
stufiing into ther head collectively a
quantity OF knowledge based, not upon
the individual bent of each child. but
upon fved code and curriculum. The
principle is to set forty or fifty chill
dren doing and thinking precisely the
same thing. The result is inevitable
There Is a top OF the class and bot
tom or the class. Those who reach
the former are regarded as the clever
ones: those who remain at the latter
are looked upon as ounces. The classi-
ncation Is wholly unfair and grossly
idiotic. All that IL really reveals ia
the perniciousness OF n system which
creates stupid children by forcing
upon their brains subjects for which
they are not receptive. The fool OF
tne Latin class might distinguish him
self in natural history, but the peda-
gogue goes on stufing him with syn
tax and grammar, regardless OF the
TACT that his mind Is absorbed in
beetles, and that he never attends
school without n pocketful OF mice

ask the editor proprietor OF The IN
DEP zNDsNT for the reasons OF Bishop
Willis refusal to consent to a GER
tain land exchange whereby there
would have been an outlet from St.
Andrews Cathedral on to Beretania
street. Hs also stated that while
the Bishop was away in Englands
the trustees had arranged to make
the deal, but the Bishop placed his
stamp OF disapproval upon the
trans action. Knowing something OF
"past history" we are perfectly in
accord with the Bishop, for had
those people been in real earnest,
they being mostly all were quite
able to have done it, they would
have raised the necessary money
and bought the roadway wanted for
the church, but instead they wanted
to exchange land for land. To use
a slang term-"they were on the
cheap and were cheap guys"
Their scheme finally fell through,
the trustees resigning in conse-
quence thereof, then the Bishop ap-
pointed new trustees and made the
assurance that Church property be-
ing a sacred trust, it was Church
property forever as originally given
and unencumbered, and upon which
assurance the S. p. G.. OF London
made a grant of $500, the total
amount OF which. grant was applied
towards the debt then held by the
Bishop, OF which debt the new trus.
tees had personally pledged them
selves towards its redemption, and
reduced it very materially. So
much for that Incident Of "past hiss

arise.
