A IfannN Font

The custom Of wishing a friend "a
happy foot" Is to be found in all parts
OF Europe, and It goes TO show how
much superstition is connected with
our fOotgear. Ii Is to be assumed that
the well fitting boot or shoe, which en-
ables a person TO walk in comfort, is
symbolical Of happiness.
The accidental placing OF the right
shoe on the left foot, putting a shoe on
awry or the breaking OF a lace is a
bad sign from the popular point Of
view. To tie the shoe OF another indi-
vidual is Indicative of humility and
lOwly position, yet the Chinese wOr-
ship the shoes Of an upright judge.
There is a curious superstition in
some parts Of England which advises
that when the youngest daughter mar
ries before her sisters the latter should
dance at her wedding without shoes in
order to insure husbands for them
selves On st. Valentines eve, accord
ing to a similar custom, girls should
hang their shoes outside the window if
they wish to secure lovers.
Some actresses carefully preserve the
boots they wore when they scored their
first success and wear them on all i'm
portant occasions.

1t is reliably stated that American
manufacturers are still treating Hawaii
as foreign territory in that they sell
goods there AT much lower price
than they do at home, and that goods
have actually been sold in Hawaii,
re-shipped to this country by the pur
chasers and sold al a profit in our
markets. The idea seems to be that
our manufacturers must be allowed to
make an enormous profit at home in
order to be able 10 sell cheaply abroad.
Instead of the foreigner paying the
tariff, the home consumer appears to
pay 1t both a'gOiu' an a'cOmin' -At-

! The subject of his address was "Stead-
! fastness." He said that the struggle
| of the Beers has conferred a benefit on
| the swOrld that cannot be measured
| by money.
We make the following extract;
| Must we abandon the self-evident
truth that governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
! governed? Must we accept imperial
| ism as an accomplished fact and join
in the shout for blood and conquest 4?
Our republic rests upon solid rock and
while its principles are revered it can
not be OverthOwn from within or from
without, but if all parties joined
together to erect an empire upon
American soil, they would build upon
| the sand and the edifice could not en-
dure. It's law divine in its origin,
irresistible in its force and eternal in
its duration, that wTOng-dOing ulti-
mately destroys the wrOng-dOer and
no nation or combination of nations is
strong enough to resist or evade retrib-
utive justice.
But suppose-what no one should
assume and what no one can prove
that steadfast adherence to democrat
ic principles would result in repeated
defeat, is there any reason why
we should abandon those princi-
pies and adopt others, or have
none at all? Those who prefer
prison fare, or servile sub
ject's lot to the dangers Of the
battlefield, may condemn the Beers
for continuing what some describe as
hopeless struggle for independence,
but those who can measure the mighty
influence of great deeds know that
the sturdy Dutchmen of South Africa
have already conferred upon the
world benefit that cannot be meas
ured by money. Their valor has
brought greater security to all the re-
publics of the earth; the bodies o
their dead have built bulwark be-
hind which the friends of liberty will
fight for centuries. The fact that
England has been compelled to en-
plOy more than 100000 soldiers to
subjugate less than %. 900 men in
arms-the fact that England has ex-
pended more than 300 per Boer-
the per capita wealth of the United
States-aRd has neither been able to
purchase them or Kill tbem-these
facts are immessurabIy valuable to
people everywhere who want free
government for themselves and are
content that others should enjoy it
also.

y. X. Bitch being absent on account
Of sickness in his family.
Minutes of last meeting read and
approved.
The resignation of Mr.. II. T. Hall,
teacher of the Oak Hill school, was
accepted. After considering the APP
pOintment of another teacher to finish
the term of one month and five days,
it was found that there will he no
teacher available whom the board
thought could fill the place until after
some of the other schools are out.
The supervisor asked that in view of
the fact that the board had no teacher
at present that the school he discOn-
tinued for this term and the untaugbt
time be put on the next years term.
1t was ordered that the board would
discontinue the Oak Hill school and
allow the school TO use the uneXpend-
ed funds in extending the school term
another year but the board declares
that this action will not entitle
schools whose averages have run the
school down or dissatisfaction has
caused the teacher to suspend school,
10 have their terms extended another
term for failure to keep up the school
this or some previous year.

morning from Helena, where he at
tended the meeting of the executive
board of the Stockgrowers association,
of which he is president. He left Sat-
urday for Miles City to be present at
the sixteenth annual convention of the

Owing to the number of escapes from
the Jail recently, Seth Paine, who was
confined in the county bastile at the
time Mcdonald, Lowry and Mcguire
broke out, but refused to go, was
taken to Miles City last week and is
now lingering in the Jail at that place
awaiting the next term of the district
court when he will be tried for grand
larceny.
