4 WORD TO FARM TOlLERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls Of the summer time,
and harvesting Of crops in the early autumn,
many of our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in a condition Of
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biliousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges OF
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, are
tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in farm homes We
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers. friend, Paine's Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and vigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; it feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgia fortunes; it purifes the blood and
gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine's
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab-
fishing of a perfect physical vigor to Withstand
the rigors OF a severe winter.

A REFRESHING VARIATION.

In these days of just complaint
from the people concerning the undue
attention paid by the courts to techni-
calities and legal bubbles raised by
shrewd lawyers in the defense OF
criminals and the consequent frequent
miscarriage of justice, resulting in
immunity from punishment by those
richly deserving the severest penal
ties the law may impose, comes as
q pleasing variation the recent rul-
ing of the supreme court OF
Minnesota in a case where
an appeal vas taken in behalf
OF two men convicted of a u and
outrageous murder. The evidence OF
the guilt of the men was clear and
beyond doubt. but some technical
nav was discovered by their lawyers
and on the strength OF this the
higher court was asked to set aside
the verdict Of the lower and give the
condemned men another trial. This

THE SEASONS COMPLIMENTS.


Times never ending march has
brought us once more to the eve OF
the day that is fraught with joy and
happiness to so many; the day when
the heart beats with quickened pulse
and when the ties that bind all into
one large family are frightened and
when thought of self gives way to i'm
pulses of generosity and hospitality.
Countenances will be wreathed in
smiles and lips will give %utterance to
wishes of cheer and good will. While
ito the one it does not possess the
significance it has it has to the other,
yet Jew and GENTLE have come to
accept this day as n Of gladness
and each has adopted the custom
that has singled it out above all 9th
ers as the one on which to give re-
newed pledges of love, friendship and
fraternity. The custom that attaches
to it is a beautiful one, one that
plucks many a thorn from the weary
path that leads to the grave. The
message that the day brought to the
shepherds of old is no less welcome
because of the ages that have passed
since first it was heard on earth. It
still cheers the respondent and light
ems the load of the burdened, lifting
the mind to the contemplation OF
higher, nobler things and attunes the
soul to the eternal chorus of harmony
and love. peace on earth, good will
to man." May it ever endure and
may each recurring Christmas day
find it nearer its realization.
The year now 70 nearly it's end has
been one that brought little OF that
which is i'll to the people of this for
tunate community and they have ev.
cry reason for being happy and con-
tent. Here's hoping that the one
already dawning may deal no less
kindly with them. --
To its readers and friends The Ga,
zette extends the compliments of the
season and wishes all the merriest o,
merry Christmasses.

SPECIAL EDITIONS.

Many of The Gazette's exchanges
continue The custom of a special edi-
ton for the holidays. At one time
such editions were issued the first
day of the year, but more recently
Christmas has been selected as the
day for their appearance, which prob
ably is more appropriate, as the adj
ded amount of reading matter the
publishers give their patrons is in
the nature of a little token, remem
brance and evidence of good will and
appreciation. Among those of the
Montana papers that had special edi-
lions for Christmas were the Ana
conda Standard, Red Lodge Picket.
Livingston Post, Butte Miner and
Kalispell Bee. All were creditable
efforts and all gave evidence of much
hard, honest work in their prepare
ton, for which undoubtedly only lit.
tie recompense was received, for to
those outside of a printing office the
amount of patience, diligence and
labor required in preparing and print.
ing such editions is unknown. But
as said before, they usually are is
sued without regard to the profit
that may be realized from them. AS
an advertisement of the office is
suing them and of the community and
state they are resultant of much
good, as they find their way into re
mote parts of the world, as well as
into every state in the country. Nc
hesitancy need be felt in sending
away from home copies of any of the
special editions of the papers named
