The Pulse OF Summer.

(By Nan Wilkerson Wood.)
When the passion OF the summer
Is fermenting in the veins,
And the blue haze of the distance
Dims the mountains and the plains,
One knows then how near To nature
Is the heart. and. oh. how sweet,
Are the unresisting grasses
Al the idle wandering feet,
In The pcarly dark of morning.
With the dew fall on the leaf,
And on The river bottoms laden,
With the ripening grain in sheaf;
Where the water curls and laces,
Dashing up and flying out,
There's q rainbow silver flashing
or the passing of the trout.
oh. 10 lie In tender shadows.
Fingers sunk earth-deep in grass,
And through hali-closed eyclids follow
Little winged things that pass;
Sailing softly. lightly sun-wards,
From The cnttOnwoods that shake
out a somnOlent slow signing,
As they were but half awake,
And the fcryid ardent glories
OF the lyric days of sun,
Pressing buds Of fruit and nowers
To the work they have begun;
Lend a pulse unto all being.
As each one takes IN his part,
And a song of gladness trembles
In the universal heart.

present had with her a fad represen-

ed in finding the correct representa-
ton of the greatest number of the
fads and was awarded the first prize,
a cup and saucer. while to Mrs. Van

The s7.50O for the racing program
at the state fair has brought out a
great deal of inquiry from horsemen,
not only IN Montana but in Idaho.

ness horses In this state is surprising
and the prediction is now made that
the track record Of 2:l2 will be beat.
en- this year. W. A. Clark, Jr., of

in training; at Bozeman there are a
dozen. 1t Missoula ten, at Dillon
three, at Butte twenty, in Fergus

in Billings twelve. and a number of
other points report two or four good

with approval.
Montana will likely have a good
racing circuit next year, in which .
half dozen OF the leading tracks will

got their moneys worth, for the bout
was n of the best ever seen in the
city. Both boys are unusually clever
and for the first ter rounds both made
a fairly even showing. Fredericks
fighting carefully and not taking any
chances.
The negro boy was fast on his feet
and had a swing which looked dan.
gerous. but which Fredericks manag-
ed to avoid. One or two of them
lded but never seemed to daze the
Kid in the least. Heyward's best
fighting was done in the second
round, when he went in and mixed
matters from the turn loose. He land
ed hard rights and lefts to the head
and body and managed to get out of
the way of all returns. Some of the
hackers of the colored boy were iubi-
liant after this round and looked to see
their man win out, but Fredericks
went 10 his corner apparently none the
worse for the punches and came up
for the fourth strong and smiling rs
usual. The fight being straight Mar
quis of Queensbury, allowed the boys
TO hit in the clinches and in every
fast miX-up Fredericks was the win
ner. He started In early to upper cut
ting with his left and the negro SEEM
ed unable to get away from them. He
was tired and resorted to hanging on
to Fredericks and II was with diff
Guilty that Referee Bebb got them sep
arated. He went down for the count
once in the fourteenth round and was
saved by the gong as he was stag
gering all over the corner and simply
dropped into his chair.
Fred ricks went for him from the
tap OF the gong in the fifteenth and
sent him to the floor with right and
left hooks to the jaw. Hayward took
the count four times before a stiff
right to the jaw sent him down and
out. He showed all sorts of endur-
nee and made Fredericks extend
himself more than any other fighter
that has appeared against the lengthy
lad in Lewistown.

fight and kept the boys going all of
the time. Albert Martina and Mickey

A Fine Lecture.

Chas. w. Seymour's lecture on
Catherine II of Russia in Concordia
Hall last Thursday evening was well
attended. Like the preceding mum
bers of the course, it was master
piece of historical research in it's Pc
culiar field, set forth in easy and fitting
speech, effective in expression, at
times numerous and then rising to
eloquence. From the opening sentence
':In the 18th Century" to the poetic
close, tribute to woman, the closest
attention was paid to the lecture. and
it richly merited the sober, candid
praise bestowed upon it by all who
heard the lecture. The closing num-
ber, "Marie Antoinette' will be de-
livered in Concordia Hall tomorrow
evening. Let all our citizens give
this closing number their attendance
and thus give generous aid to the
Free Public Library. A sung sum will
thus be realized.

Auction Stopped.

The Seibel Bros. auction sale Of
horses, carriages rnd circus fixtures on
Thursday was stopped by the city
authorities on the ground that Messrs.
Seibel had not complied with city
ordinance governing the holding Of
auction sales within the city limits. In
answer to much adverse criticism, the
police authorities assert that they
acted clearly within their province as
set forth by the precise terms of the
ordinance, that does not permit them
to exercise any choice in the matter.
An auction, as defined, being such a
public sale as requires license, with
out any exception being made in favor
of a resident citizen over rank out
slider. The ordinance was passed as a
sort to protection to our local mer-
chantr against interlopers who came
from abroad with their wonderful
s'Fire sales" and Bankrupt Stocks,''
to be disposed of at action. aud so far
was evidently correct, but when ap-
piled, as in this instance, works injus-
tice, not only to the sellers but also to
hosts of people who came long dis
tances to attend the sale. But the best
way to get.rid of a bad law is to en-
force it, then it can be amended to fit
such conditions. Whether the matter
will be a subject of judicial determina-
tion or not none are prepared to proph-
ecy. An arbitrary tax of Is per cent
on aggregate of sales, together with
low prices bid for many articles, would
make it a money saving business to
give the property away.

Wants Her Children.
evening Wisconsin Dec, 4.

Asserting that her health will be
undermined nnless she is able to have
her babies. Mrs Clara Usher has
brought suit for divorce against Ed
ward Usher, an engineer of the Mil
waukee road and to secure the custody
of the little ones aged and years.
At the present time the children are
being cared for by the parents of the
defendent, who reside in Watertown
and who, Mrs. Usher asserts, have re-
fused to let her see theln.
The parents of both parties reside
III Watertown. While visiting her
people in that city, with the consent
of her husband, Mrs. Ushers says, de-
fendent came to Milwaukee and dis
posed of the silver he had presented
her as Christmas gifts. He also packed
his clothing and that of the children
and took other steps to break up the
home, telling her she could remain
longer in Waterto vn. September IA,
Mrs. Usher says, she came to Milwau-
kee her husband was on the same train
but she did not hnow it until they
reached the station, when they walked
home together. That night, she says,
her husband told her that he was tired
of her; had consulted lawyer aud
would not live with her.
After failing to induce her to visit
his lawyer, plaintiff says, her husband
told her that the lawyer would come
and see her and he put in an appear
ance the next day and presented an
agreement which she was asked to
sign. She says it was an agreement
to live apart; giving the defendent
custody of the children and all of the
household goods. She refused to sign.
The next morning her husband, she
alleges, took the children to his par
ents.
Mrs. Usher alleges she went to the
home of the parents a number of times,
but they quarreled each time and she
was finally forbidden the house. The
last time she went to see the children,
she says they would not let her in.
She says her health will give way ua-
less she can have them. Her parents
are willing to help her care for them
Court Commissioner Harper has COM
manded Usher to show cause why the
wife should not have the custody of
the children, pending the divorce pro-
ccedings, and why he should not pay
alimony suit money and attorneys
fees. A hearing will be had before
Judge Tarrant OF the next motion day.
