DEATH In LIE CIGARETTE.

There should be unceasing war wag-
ed against the deadly cigarette. Es-
pecially should il be kept out of the
hands of the young. /. those of ma
ture age wish to take chances with
the coffin nails" they will probably
always find a way TO secure them.
In some states stringent laws have
been enacted 10 prevent their sale,
and il they are as injurious to health

demonstrated to possess every state

iacture and sale that will be prohibit.

the public schools instituted some ::
perlments with the cigarette and
gives the result as follows;
"On last Tuesday n of my boys
came to school with two packages
OF cigarette papers. We put them
into a pint bottle and nearly filled it
WIN water ny 1Ads " was a
thick solution, almost so thick that
the liquid would hardly run out Of
the bottle. The boys caught a mouse
and gave him about a third of a tea
spoonful He never lived to leave the
h0ys hand The boys were convinced
that il was poisonous, but the girls
declared the boys squeezed the mouse

boys came to school with three spar
rows and iva mice. We took them
one a. Il time and gave them a third
of a tcaspoonful. The birds flew
around The room for a short while and
then fell helpless on the floor and
died within ten minutes. They seem
ed to be- in awful pain. The mice ran
around the room as If nothing had
gone wrong for awhile, then fell in a
fit from which they never recovered.
This should be a lesson TO the boss

acquisition of the means toward pleas
ure. Admitting. IL you please. that
the labor question is the greatest
question in the world. we can not
cease to write poetry, and to construct
plays. and to paint pictures, and to
compose symphonies, and TO sail
yachts until the labor question is set
tied. If we did the art of pleasure
would die out. and when We had Sc
cured the mean toward pleasure We
should have lost pleasure itself.
What we have TO do now is to strike
a balance between the struggle for
economic Improvement (hours. wages.
etc. and the cultivation of the art of
pleasure. The world would be a dead.
stupid thing if il thought of nothing
but hours and wages. Pictures, poems.
symphonies. yachts and plays will
continue to cost money. and some
people will continue TO say that this
money ought to have been applied to
the alienation of human misery"
but the art of pleasure will continue
to justify itself. We shall have to
give part of Il life to things, which,
while they do not seem to alleviate
human misery. are nevertheless the
things which make life beautiful and
the things which We can not allow to
perish off the face of the earth.-Chi-

NOT a BOOM TOWN.

Lewistown has never rejoiced in
nor suffered from a boom. While it
has enjoyed a steady growth ever
since 1884 there has been nothing un-
warranted in the building operations
of the place.
In the past year or W. real estate
values have gone up several notches
and in some instances desirable bust.
ness locations are held at figures that
will preclude any change of hands in
the near future. This is probably due
to the scarcity of suitable or advan-
tageous building lots on Main street.
However. there is a growing request
for property on the cross streets
rather than pay an exorbitant price
for something a little more desirable,
and il would not be surprising to see
business houses well scattered
throughout the central district in a
few years.
Though residence property has en-
HANGED in value generally, there is
very little held at fictitious or boom
prices. though in a few instances
property is held altogether too high.
II is TO be hoped that the people
OF I.ewistown will become pos
sessed of the boom spirit. 1t may be
all right when you are going up but
the coming down is what hurts. Even
when il comes TO enterprises of var.
ious kinds nothing should be encour-
aged that is not sure of permanent
success and profitable returns. An
over done town is a poor place in
which TO live. Empty buildings deco
rated with placards are a constant
eye-sore and a bad advertisement TO
catch strangers. Don't build too rap
idly. The buildings in course of con.
struction now will furnish store
rooms and offices for a good many
people. IL is better to build a little
every year than TO do too much at
once.
To be sure Lewistown has a large
country and great industries behind
il but il has not an immediate and
extensive pay roll, which has made
some cities grow rapidly in this and
other states. It's supporting indus
tries. in the larger part, are perma.
nent and reliable. but the money de-
| rived from them does not circulate as
rapidly as in manufacturing towns.
With the coming of the railroad our
population Is likely to increase much
more rapidly and there is danger Of a
surplus population and an OVERRIDING
in certain lines of business. A steady
healthy growth is desirable and the

It is not unusual for imposters with

The crop of fruit raised in Yellow
stone county this year is said to be
very fine. The yield of apples and
plums is large and are now on sale
in the Billings market. Yellowstone
county is more fayorably located for
fruit raising than is Fergus, though
we believe success could be attained
in some sections of this county. Along
the Musselshcll and in the lower Ju.
dith river country conditions are very
favorable for fruit raising. The
springs are earlier and frost holds OF
much later in the fall than in the
Judith Basin. Settlers in these local
tiles should give some attention to
fruit growing. as there is pretty good
assurance that their efforts would be
crowned with success. Montana will
