Live and Let Live.

We thoroughly believe in this old
adage Anyone dealing with us will
find it so, which is the experience of
those who bought pianos during our
sale here. We find it to our advantage
to represent our goods in a thorough
conscientious manner, and we hereby
make this statement, that if we can
sell you piano by making a just rep
resentation thereof, without abiding
to the personality or individuality of
any other person engaged in the same
business, it is our desire to so do.
There is one thing We wish to 10,
and that is to refute any and all ma
licious statements concerning the
quality of our goods and our honesty
of purpose. We do not put this in the
paper for the benefit of those who are
acquainted with business methods,
but for those who are liable to be led
astray by untruths. If you wish to
buy an honest piano at an honest
price come to Shermans music par
lor. If you cannot call, drop us line
today and it will receive prompt at

leave It All to Mr.. HILL"

Great Northern net earnings have
doubled since 1896, and within the
same period Northern Pacific earn
ings have grown from S19,S63, 159 to
the enormous sum of 1878
Last year the two roads took in to-
tai toll of nearly $4,000, 900.
This is an enormous tribute, and a
great many people believe it is exces-
sive tribute-more than the courts
would approve if the matter had judi
cial determination.
In recent statement James ]. HILL
who, as president of the Northern Sc
curities company, directs the affairs
of the Great Northern, the Northern
Pacific. and the Burlington, says 1T
is the policy of his company to reduce
the freight rates as rapidly as the
volume of traffic and earnings will
justify"
Mr.. Hill and his associates believe
that they should be the sole judges
of this important matter Of rate max
ing and rate reduction, and this view
of the question is approved by most
of those opposing a state railroad
commission. Let u.s., they say,
leave it all to the enlightened self
interest of Mr.. Hill"
On the other. hand, the advocates
of railroad commission believe that
the public, the state, should have a
voice in this matter. And they believe
that this function of governmental
regulation is more essential now than
ever before, in view of the merger
of three great railway systems and
the monopolization of railway traffic
in the Pacific northwest.
This, in a nutshell, is the principle
involved in the fight which Governor
Mcbride and Senator Turner are
making for a state railway commits
sion Shall the people yield to Mr.
| Hill and his associates a power which
they would not yield for an instant
to government itself, namely the
power to tax them without their con
sent? Shall they permit Mr.. Hill and
his associates to be the sole judges
of what they shall pay to send theil
products to market, and what the
railroads shall charge them for haul
ing their clothing, food supplies and
a hundred other commodities which
are carried here from eastern mark

The Spendthrift.

Once upon time there was spend
thrift who made his father very I'M
happy through his profligate habits.
MY son." said the parent, you
spend every penny that you get, and
it must cease Remember that the
pennies make shillings and the shil-
lings make pounds. If you do not
change your habits of always spend
ing to habits of judicious saving, will
not spare the rod"
The admonition had no good effect on
the youth, and he continued to spend
the pennies before they could accu-
mulate into shillings.
His father spoke no more about the
matter, .but he applied the rod most
vigorously to him until he howled with
pain.
Moral-He who spends the pennies
will get the pounds.-New York Her

FATE OF HlNpoo GIRLS.
NepauI RajpOOts Cause Their Daugh-
terra to BE Murdered


ter-s to BE Murdered.
A Capuchln monk engaged in mis-
sionary work in Nepaul, writing of
Hindoo family life, remarks that it is
very difficult for parents to make ad-
vantageous matches for their daugh-
tiers. The Hindoos therefore find a
means of Kidding themselves of too
many daughters by numbering them.
1t is well known fact that Hindoos
of high birth, those who are called
rajpOots, caused their daughters to be
put to death after their birth by men
specially engaged to do so. This Grim
inal custom had become so general
that in 1910 in the seventy-three vii
lagos of the Allahabad district there
were only three girls under twelve
years of age, and three years later in
the town of Agra there was not one
to be found under that age. All had
been put to death.
The English government has very
naturally passed severe laws against
this abominable crime, but to evade
them the Hindoos allow their girls to
live until the age of twelve, after
which they do away with them by adj
ministering poison in small doses.
Orientals are past masters in the art
of poisoning, and after some minute
inquiries it transpires that in many
districts twenty-five out of every hun
dred girls have been got rid of in this
manner. Those girls who have been
spared they marry very early, gener-
ally between fourteen and fifteen
years, and that not according to their
own choice, but by the will of their
parents, which is decisive.
An Indian family of good rank
could not keep an unmarried daugh-
ter. 1t would not only be public
shame, but also crime against reli-
gion. To procure husbands for those
who have not already found them
there are number of Brahmans, old
and decrepit, called Kulin Brahmans,
who go about with the one object of
going through the ceremony of the
'seven steps, with as many young
girls as they can upon receipt of a
large sum of money, but who after
ward leave the country and perhaps
never see them again.-Pall Mall Ga
Zette.

Instinct of Horses In war.

Arabian horses manifest remarkable
courage in battle. 1t is said that when
a horse of this breed finds himself
wounded and perceives that he will
not be able to bear his rider much
longer he quickly retires from the con-
flict, bearing his master to a place of
safety while he has still sufficient
strength. But, on the other hand, if
the rider is wounded and falls to the
ground the faithful animal remains
beside him, unmindful of danger,
neighing until assistance is brought.
