"For years when spring time came
on and l went into gardening, ! was

and every attack was more severe
than the preceding one," says Josie
Mcdonald of Wan, Logan county,

relief whatever, until l procured a
bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
and the first application gave me ease,
and before the first bottle was used
l felt like a new person. Now feel
that l am cured, but I always keep a

toms of a return I soon drive it away
with one or two applications OF this
liniment." For sale by all druggists.

Although probably disclaiming any
desire to dispute a mans statement
that he honestly and conscientiously
considers it no wrong for another man
to offer an immense sum of money
to a Judge in the way of a bride, still
there are many, in fact very many,
who are equally honest and conscien-
tious in their entertainment OF a diff
ferent opinion, and who, if pressed
for an expression of belief would de-
clare it to be a sinful and wicked
transaction. But then, contrariness
has ever been a distinguishing char
acteristic of humanity.

NEW D
Some Of the Things to Be Seen at
Norris & Rowe's Shows.

One of the best amusement enter
prises in America today is the Norris
& Rowe's big shows, which are to give
two performances in Billings August
4. Everything good and entertaining
in the trained animal business will
be seen with this clever exhibition,
which is the largest institution of it's
kind in the country. Prominent
among the many new and special fea-
lures r the performing baby ele-
plants in new acts eve before seen
in this country. Other novelties are
the performing Siberian camels, the
trained llamas and wonderful acrobats
and tumblers. The performing buff
faloes and Prof. Rumley's educated
seals are also new features. The lead
ing acts of previous years have been
retained and improved upon. Roman
races and Olympian games and pas
times are new additions to the inter
esting entertainment. Human and ami
NAL CLOVIS keep up a continual round
of merriment, SO that taken all in all,
the visit of Norris & Rowe's shows to
this city will be one long to be re-
membered. A grand free street car
nival and parade will be given at II
a. m. on the morning of the exhibit
ton.

Temporal

An excellent example of the efects
of time and circumstances in work
ing changes in the opinions of men is
furnished in the editorial comments
of certain state newspapers on a re-
cent decision of the supreme court of
Montana. Only a short time ago the
distinguished gentleman who acted as
the mouthpiece of the court was the
subject of some decidedly individuous
remarks by those same newspapers,
in which strong hints were made that
because of certain political support
he received he would be biased and
preiudiced and that his actions on
the bench would not be marked by the
utmost fairness and impartiality when
the time arrived for him to render
Judgment as between two elements
whose controversies have for several
wears constituted much of the business
Of the courts. At last the day came
when he was required to place HIM
self on record in lnis regard. A case
materially affecting the interests I
the contending parties was before the
court for it's adjudication. Contrary
to the yelled predictions that had been
made that his sense Oh obligation
would prompt him intp rendering judg-
ment at variance with facts and the
law. he rendered a decision strongly
adverse to the interests to which he
presumably leaned. Those who as
sumed to criticise beforehand are
now fulsome in their praises OF him
and with Shylock declare that a sec
ond Daniel has arisen in Judgment
OF course, Mr.. Justice is as Indifferent
to their present praises as he was
careless of their former SANDERS, but
for all that, he probably enjoys the
discontinue OF certain persons. He
wouldn't be human if he didn't.
