La speaking of a persan's faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with houses of glass
Should seldom throw stone.
If we have nothing else TO do
But talk of those who sin,
IT'S better we commence at home
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he is fairly tried;
Should we not like his company
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who ha
not?
The old as well as young
Perhaps we may, for ought we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan
You'll find II works full we'll
To try your own defects to cnre
Before you others tell.
And though ! sometimes hope to be
No worse than some l know,
Nv own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of Others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe.
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know
Remember cases, sometimes like
Our chickens, "Most at home;'
Don't speak Of others faults until
We have none OF our own

as to give Immediately all Injuries and

In order to pay for the property and
to put the home into immediate opera

individuals who have made subscrip-

them Immediately to Gen. Fayette

Children's Day at Nj. Il. Church.

Sunday evening at the Methodist
church the Sunday school celebrated
their annual childrens' day service.
The exercises occupied the time regu-
larly allotted for the eight o'clock
preaching service. The entire seating
capacity was taken up by members of
the Sunday school and their friends.
Childrens' day is an event which is
ton by the little ones. 1t is a day
when the parents of the children come
to enjoy the exercises, rand hear of
the progress of the school; when the
children can speak the pieces and sing
the songs which they have patiently
committed after weeks of diligent
application.
The bright and happy faces of the
children and the white dresses and
flower bedecked hats of the girls pre-
scented a picture surprising in beauty

The growth of the Sunday school
during the past twelve months has
been very encouraging. AS a result
of the faithful services of the superin-

OF INTEREST TO SHEEPMEN.
Idaho Court VphoidS Con>titutiOnality
OF the Grazing Law.

There is law in the state of Idaho
that sheep cannot be grazed within
two miles of an inhabitated DWELLING
The sheepmen have resisted the en-

test case was carried to the supreme
court of the state and Tuesday the
tribunal upheld the constitutionality
of the law. The case Will probably
be carried to the supreme court of the
United States.
Montana sheepmen Will naturally
be interested in the decision as the law
may be adopted iii this state at no dis
tant date.

settlers were of frequent occurrence,
peace. 1t is also a matter of public
history of the state that sheep are not
only able to hold their own on the pub
lie ranges with other live stock, but
will in the end drive other stock off
the range, and that the holding of
sheep upon certain territory is an APP
preparation of it almost as fully as if
it was actually enclosed by fences and
that is especially true with reference
to cattle.
"Settlers need the use of the range
in their immediate vicinity for their
domestic animals. Families living on
small farms must CT necessity keep
some live stock The mich COW is d
necessity to the isolated family living
on a small farm miles from market.
"Nullify the statutes in question or
emasculate their provisions by holding
that the yare unconstitutional, or that
settler cannot recover damages by
reason of the sheep destroying all the
forage grasses around him, and the
benehcent objects of the statutes are
defeated, and the result will be in the
end that isolated settlement must be
abandoned and the land in the state
become one immense sheep pasture, to
the detriment of the farming and min
ing interests and settlement of public
lands will be retarded and the build
ing up of homes on the public domain
will almost stop.
"The contentious of appellant are to
some extent inconsistent. He argues
that sheep men have right to pasture
the public domain and have d property
interest in the grasses growing there
on and at the same time contends that
settlers do not own the grass on the
public land within two miles of their
residence and cannot recover damages
for loss of such grass when
destroyed by sheep in violation of the
statutes.
