ton but many will tinker. with a
measure that looks to putting the
care of the roads in competent hands.
Another feature of legislation that
will take up time will be amendments
to the school laws. Every session Of
the legislature takes up that ques-
ton, and this will be no exception.
There is enough proposed school Leg
islation alone to keep the legislature
busy for three weeks.
The legislature that meets in Jan
uary will be called upon to make ar
engagements for selecting the school
books to be used in the public
schools of Montana for six years from
next July The old contract expires
next year, and arrangements must
be made for a new one at the COM
ing session. If the legislature turns
the question over to a commission,
that will be easy, but it may be that
the legislature will desire to make
the selections, and if it does that
means a lot of time.
An effort will be made to have sucIl
legislation as will allow pool rooms
making wagers on horse races to run
in the towns.
A fellow servant bill will be intro
duced, and probably several, and
those measures always consume time.
Add to these in measures of gen
eral interest, and several score of
minor Importance, and it will be seen
that the prospective law maker who
counts upon a full 60 days session
is a wise man.

Kind words Mean Much.

Cultivate kindness of heart. think
well of your fellow men, look with
charity upon the shortcomings in their
lives. Do a good turn for them as
opportunity offers, and, finally. don't
forget the kind word at the right
time. How much a word of kindness,
encouragement or appreciation means
to others sometimes and how little it
costs us to give it!
We do not need to wait for some
special occasion. When calamity over
takes a friend, words of sympathy and
encouragement are offered sincerely
enough, yet in certain respects, as a
matter of course. Such an occasion
calls for expression on our part, and
we naturally respond. But why wait
for occasion? Why not speak the kind
word when there is no special occa-
sion ?-Philadelphia Ledger.

An amusing story is told of the edi-

newspaper, who, in the eternal rushing
to press to get ahead of the opposition,
was constantly impressing upon his
reporters the necessity for condensing
all news.
A terrific boiler explosion had taken
place on board big ship lying at
Portsmouth.

can" he said to one of his men. eff

A merchant died at Ispahan in the
earlier part of last century who had
for many years denied himself and his
son every support except crust of
coarse bread. On a certain occasion
he was overtempted to buy piece of
cheese; but, reproaching himself with
extravaganza, he pute the cheese into
a bottle and contented himself and
obliged the boy to do the same, with
rubbing the crust against the bottle,
enjoying the cheese in imagination.
One day, returning home later than
usual, the merchant found his son eat
ing his crust, which he constantly rub
bed against the door.
what are you about, you fool?' was
his exclamation. sit is dinner time,

could not open the door, | was rub

without cheese one day, you luxurious
little rascal? You'll never be rich"

boy for not having been able to deny
himself the ideal qualification.

A Primitive Postoffice.

Until a short time ago very peculiar
postoffice was used in Argyllshire,
England. 1t was situated in the lonely
hills between Drimmin and Barr, three
miles from any habitation, and con-
sisted of simple slit in rock, closed
up by a nicely fitting stone.
When any letters arrived at Drim-
min for the district of Barr, they were
conveyed to the rock by the first shep-
herd or crofter going so far. Having
been dropped in and the slit reclosed,
they were left until shepherd OF
crofter from the other side happened
to come along, when they were taken
up and delivered at their destination
No letter was ever known to be lost al
this primitive postoffice.
