The Rudolph S Thanksgiving.
BY Eugene Udcll. ]

81 suppose you are going to have
turkey for Thanksgiving, said Claus
Peterson to John Rudolph, 81 am
'No,' said John, 1--WE have not had
turkey for Thanksgiving for six
years. Papa cannot afford such lux
uries any more. I'm awful1y sorry
too, for I am very fond of turkey with
oyster dresslng'
"Never mind, SAID Claus. 'I'll bet
you do have turkey, and the best one
in town, too.
Claus was an industrious boy, and
not in the least boastful. What he
said, he meant, and was ALWAYS to be
relied upon. The business men knew
this and encouraged him whenever
opportunity afforded. After school
hours he was given light jobs of vari-
Gus kinds and did many errands for the
men of the town. In this way, Claus
had earned quite little money, and
he decided to give his friend John a
tirst-class Thanksgiving dinner. So,
a day or two before Thanksgiving, he
went to the store and picked out inc
twenty-five pound turkey, the best the
merchant had in the store, and paid
for it.
But said the merchant, "Your
papa bought a fine turkey this morn
ing and took it home with him. What
ever are you going to do with this
one? You surely don't intend to eat
them both for dinner Thanksgiving. a"
NO." said Claus, Il bought this
one for my friend, John Rudolph,
who's papa cannot afford to buy a
turkey
"Well, WE'LL" said the merchant,
81 just believe I'll help that dinner
out a little myself
The dinner that Claus and the mer-
chant sent to the Rudolphs would have
done your soul good to see, cranberries
oysters, tomatoes. CLANS, trout. and a
good many other things to eat garced
the Rudolph table on that Thanksgiv-
ing day. 1t is not necessary to add
that John Rudolph thoroughly enjoyed
his Thanksgiving dinner and the way
he got it.

A Little Girls Thanks9 giving.
BY Bertha Linvil1e.

Anna Merrel was a little girl about
seven years old who lived in the city.
Anna had little cousin whose name
was Jane. One day as Anna and her
mother were sitting by the window,
Anna saw Jane coming toward the
house and said:
Mother, am going out to meet
Jane
James parents were very poor be-
cause her father had fallen and broken
his ankle and could not work, and her
mother was troubled with rheumatism.
AS Jane and Anna entered the house,
Annals mother saw that Jane wore a
sorrowful look, and said:
"What is the matter, Jane?"
Jane looked up and said:
"papa and mamma are both sick and
mamma said that we were not going
to have a Thanksgiving dinner.
ooh! don't worry, my little dar-
ling" said Mrs. Merrel, 81 am going
to have nice Thanksgiving dinner
and you are coming over''
''Oh"' cried Jane, with delight,
"You are very kind, Auntie.'
AS Jane left the house her auntie
said: "Be of good cheer my little one. -
So Anna and her mother went into the
parlor and talked about what they
would have to make a nice Thanks
giving dinner. The next day was
Thanksgiving, and Jane came over.
She was not dressed very we'll, for,
you know, her parents were very poor,
and her mother had done the best she
could. Jane and Anna went up stairs
and played until dinner We Is ready, w her
they went down stairs and into the
dining room. The table was covered
with all kinds of good things. There
was large baked turkey, cranberry
sauce, cake, pie, pudding, bread and
butter, potatoes, nuts and fruit.
After dinner Jane went home in the
best of spirits, and told her mother
| and father that she had had lovely
Thanksgiving dinner, and that hel
auntie had sent them d basket of good
things.

quently charged with Investigating

quently charged with Investigating
matters that do not concern them, the
parents forgetting that the public also
has some rights that must be consider
ed. The public supports the schools
and expects good results, the very best
results that can be secured for the
money invested in the schools. Regu-
lar attendance becomes matter OF
public concern. It is seldom the irreg-
ular pupil ever does thoroughly good
work himself, while his irregularity
always interferes with the progress of
his class. No pupil should ever stay
away from school without a very good
reason. Irregular attendance has
always interfered very perceptibly
with our school work and continues to
do so. Especially is this true at this
time of the year. At a recent meeting
of the school board it was decided to
do something to stop this nuisance and
the superintendent was instructed to
persue any course he thought best, and
If necessary, suspend any pupils who
are tardy or absent without a salts
factory excuse.

OF INTEREST TO ALL

Some months ago some two or three
hundred of our tax payers petltioned
the board of county commissioners to
submit to vote the proposition of bond
ing the county for the erection of a
bridge across the Yellowstone river.
For some unknown reason, the COM
missioners saw fit to ignore the request,
which caused general regret.
The necessity of bridge is quite
obvious to all and this paper intends
to voice the sentiments of the people in
that direction until something has been
accomplished.
A very large majority of the people
residing in the Yellowstone valley in
this county live on the north side of the
river and it is not only just that they
should have easy access to the county
seat but it is most necessary that they
should be provided with more conven-
lent access to the railroad.
Rosebud county possesses vast EN-
pire on the north side of the Yellow
stone which is comparatively unsettled
and no one will. dispute the fact that a
bridge across that river would tend
greatly to populate h a t section.
Neither will any one argue that it is
not for the best interests of the county
at large that we should attract settle
ment to that section.
A great work in that connection is
already giving assurance of practical
results. We refer to the canal now
nearing completion.
To those living in the south end OF
the county we would say that by max
ing the waste lands of the north side
of the Yellowstone attractive to invest
ors it would not be long till the bridge
would be paid for and taxes cut in two
by the incsease in taxable property.
We see no reason why this project
should be Objectionable to any one and
on the other hand it would be d lasting
and untold benefit to many.
Talk the matter over with your
neighbor and petition again for a vote
on the proposition. The county com
missioners will grant the request if we
insist upon it, SO let us do SO, and open
up easy communication with vast
country which will add riches to our
county.

Correspondents:
lola CLARK, MAGGIE SHOOK

Edna Guy was absent from school
Tuesday.
The pupils of the grammar depart
ment will take up some chorus work
after Thanksgiving.
The seventh grade pupils are pre-
pairing to make a stndy of the minerals
and fossils of this vicinity. Each pu-
pll will keep a record of what he finds.
Wednesday morning the high school
and grammar room met together for
general exercises in commemoration of
Thanksgiving day. The following
program was given: Repeating Lord s
prayer by school followed by Schu-
berts' payer" sung by Fern Clark,
Mayme Hammond and Olive Marcy;
Thanksgiving Day, Fern Clark; The
Steady Worker, Donald Guy; Coming
Home, Viola Guy; Selections by mem
bers of the high school; song by Fern
Clark, Mayme Hammond, Olive Marcy
with chorus by school.
Irregular attendance is one of the
most serious draw backs, to good school
work, known to puplic school teachers.
1t is often surprising and discouring
to see for what trivial reasons some
parents allow their children to remain
away from school. When the superin-
tendent or teacher makes inquiry in a
most friendly manner and always in
the interest of the child, they are fire.

dignity that becomes the governor of
great state. Meanwhile with the de-
sire to aid if aid could be properly
given, he secured by correspondence
with the Amalgamated a promise that
eliminated the previous undesirable
the situation and at once issued the
call, and almost coincident with it's is
sue the works and mines that had been
shut down, were re-opened and the
nightmare dispelled. Gov. Toole's
communication to the Amalgamated
managers is worthy of careful read
ing. Governor Toole's attitude and
action in this most embarrassing crisis
has been entirely commend BILE.
1T was a trying situation for any
official to be placed in and republican
as this paper is and political oppon-
ent of Jos. X. Toole as it is, we find
nothing to condemn in his action and
much to commend. We have already
been taken to task by an enthusiastic
republican subscriber for what was
said of Gov. Toole's action day or
two ago, but we are still of the opinion
that it does no harm to recoe nize and
commend things and acts that are COM
mendable even in a political opponent.
OF course that does not mean to pat
him on the back day after day or
month after month, but when public
official rises perceptably above entangl-
ing conditions and performs an act
that all wellmeaning people commend
he is entitled to favorable mention even
in the opposition papers. If he
should fall dead suddenly there would
be no question of his having earned
commendation. by not voice it while
I he is living just to show that your
politics are broad enough and sound
enough to enable you to sp4ak we'll OF
an opponent without the fear of thus
re-electing him.
This is very handsome of the Journal
and we trust that under similar cir
cumstances we would display the same
breadth of mind. 1t is in striking con.
TT d t to the disgusting slurs
heaped upon the governor by the For
syth Times, and we hope that news
paper will take the hint and fall in
line. If it can say nothing good OF
him, it can at least refrain from say
| ing something bad.
Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1903-11-26

Last weeks issue of the Stockgrow-
ers Journal published a long editorial
on "A level-headed governor" in which
unstinted communication is meted out
t9 Governor Toole for his recent con,
duct in the matter of serving the best
interests of a great army of idle fellow
citizens. The Journal is such "A strong
republican publication that we cannot
but admire its broad mindedness in
this matter and we would respectfully
commend its columns on this subject to
the worthy editor of the Forsyth Times
who finds himself too narrow to admit
that man can be anything but a re-
publican, and be honest in doing the
right thing.
The Journal says, in part:
1.-The general opioion was that Gov.
Toole would not call an extra session
of the legislature as a panacea for the
industrial lockout in the mining
camps, but he did, and his reasons for
doing so add to his reputation as a
careful and clear headed executive.
Democrat though he is, this paper does
not hesitate to commend his action in
this matter. For more than two weeks
he has withstood the wave of popular
opinion as evidenced by stream OF
petitions that poured in upon him, has
endured the urging and arguments Of
representative committees, has sub.
mitted to the oracular utterances O
editorial writers on the big dailies ant
has felt the sting of the paragraphel
and the cartoonist, all with the silent

NIAGARA is DRY.
The American Falls Affords Unusual
Opportunity for Curio Seekers.

Niagara Falls, y. Y. March 23.-The
American fal is practically dry and for
the first time in 81 years people are
able to walk about in the river bed.
Thousands have clambered over the
rocks hunting for relics and souvenirs
Great rocks never before seen are high
and dry.
So little water was flowing over the
American fall. Sunday, that men in
high boots almost could have crossed
at the brink. The extraordinary con-
dtion is due to an ice jam which form
ed iii the shallow places up the river
The ice was driven from Lake Erie IN
to the entrance TO the Niagara and
lodged i'll the shoal Understanding off
the flow in the American channel
The Horseshoe fan has not been af-
fected as much as the American. The
river bed in the vicinity of Three Sis
ter islands Is quite d.y and the center
fail, between Goat and Luna islands, is
skeleton of itself. The condition is
likely to exist several days.
