Laughter as Il Moral Power.

Is laughter immoral? That is a very
important objection urged against
comedy from generation to generation.
1t is not only not immoral. but it is the
preservation of morals to cultivate by
use faculty for all sorts of, laughter.
1t is the hallucination Of prevalent evil
which drives men to despair. Now,
evil always seems to be prevalent
when you scrutinize it, for scrutiny in
wolves confined attention to what lies
Immediately under the lens in the TO-
cused light. Being wherever we see,
we surmise-nay, atfirm-it to be ev-
erywhere. But were it, really every
where you and l could not be here to
express such an opinion. Clearly the
thing to do then is to belittle the evil
by fair means and foul, to undignify it
and so rob it of it's horrors that we
shall not lose wits or heart. BY laugh
ing at the evil we get rid of the false
impression of its omnipotence, we get
little courage and our despair turns
somersault up into glory from the
swinging trapeze of faith.-Interna-

The Very First American Cofns-


The very earliest coinage that can
properly be said to be strictly Ameri-
cam was ordered by the original Nir-
gln1a company in the year 1912, only
five years after the founding of James
town. These coins were minted at
Somers islands, now known as the Ber-
mudas. For a period of more than
quarter of century after this, how
ever, tobacco and beaver skins were
reckoned as lawful currency. In 1915
the assembly of Virginia met and de-
clared that it "had maturely weighed
ana considered how advantageous a
quOine (cOin) would be to this colony,
and how much better it would be than
sole dependency upon tobacco and
pelts." After this they provided for
the coinage of copper coins of the de-
nominations Of twopence, threepence,
siXpence and ninepence, but this reso-
luton was never carried into effect.
The first coinage in America proper
was the series of coins struck at Bos-
ton under the order of the general
court of Massachusetts passed May %,
1862, the coins being three, six and
twelve pence denominations, ''in forme
fatt and stamped on one side with the
letters N. E. and on the other the
value of the piece"

The Wise Fox.

The Lion, the Ass and the Fox went
hunting together, and it was agreed
that whatever was taken should be
shared between them. They caught a
large fat Stag, which the Lion ordered
the Ass to divide. The Ass took a deal
Of pains to divide the Stag into three
pieces, which should be as nearly equal
as possible. The Lion, enraged with
him for what he considered want of
proper respect to his quality, flew upon
him and tore him to pieces. He then
called on the Fox to divide. The Fox,
nibbling off small portion for him
self left the rest for the Lions share.
The Lion, highly pleased with this
mark of respect, asked the Fox where
he had learned such politeness and
good breeding. ITO tell the truth,
sire" replied the Fox, 81 was taught it
by the ASS that lies dead there."-

Servants In Sofia.

Twice year, on April % and Oct
70 writes a young Bulgarian woman
living in Sofia, ''our streets are full Of
servants, and people bargain with them
for service. During the winter season
they are very cheap, as the peasants
send all their girls to the city to be
hired, they having no work for them
at home. TIE price paid differs. One
can get girl for her board or pay up
to 20 lusor go a month for one who
cooks, washes and irons. Girls are of
ten thankful to enter good family for
their board- For the men there is very
little work, and the papers are full of
suicides on account, during the dull
seasons Of starvation"

A FLIGHT FROM RUSSIA,
WhatTennysOn's Father Knew About
Emperor Paul's AssassinatiOn,

Shortly after the assassination Of
Emperor Paul Of Russia Tennyson, the
father of the poet, dined with Lord st.
Helens, the British ambassador, in
Moscow. Several Russian officers Of
high rank whose names he did not
know were also guests. During dinner
a guarded reference was made to the
emperor's death. why, do you speak
so ginSerly about a matter 50 notOri-
ous?' cried TSnnys lean
ing across his neighbOr, a Russian
whose breast was covered with orders.
1--WE know very we'll in England that
the Emperor Paul was murdered.
Count Zoboff knocked him down, and
Benningsen and Count Pahcn stran-
gled him. There was a strained 81
lence; then the ambassador abruptly
changed the subject AS the guests
filed out into, an adjoining room Lord
st. Helens drew Tennyson aside.
Don't go into the next room." he
whispered, but fly for your life. The
man next you, across whose breast
you leaned, was Count Pahlen. and
Zoboif was also at the table" He gave
a few hurried directions, and Tenny-
son rushed off, threw his clothes into
portnanteau and fled behind fast
horses to Odessa, still in evening garb
though the cold was intense. He lay
hidden for weeks and at last, in the
disguise Of servant, was Struggled
on board an English frigatc.

In the peninsula of Abeheron, for

known to ancients. We also learn
from Atheneus that several other writ

fishing some centuries before the Chris

AFRlEND IN NEED.

With the end of the extraordinary
session of congress about 100 presi-
dental appointments became void.

army, and among them was the now
famous Wood appointment. All Of
these appointments have been made
again by the president. tn eWood APP
pOintment with the others. In view
OF the scandal that has been made
public through the investigation now
being conducted by council of the
United States senate. Under the
circumstances it would not have been
surprising had the president failed
to re-appoint General Wood, but one
of President Roosevelt's strong
points is his loyalty to friends, and
notwithstanding the damaging testi
mony against General Wood the pres
ident evidently believes in him and
is going to stand by him.
While one may not endorse the
promotion of General Wood, it is on
ly natural that the president should
be admired for his course in the
matter, for the friend in need is 6
friend indeed. and this is the kind O
friend the president has proved him
self to be.

THAT DINNER PAIL.

The full dinner pail which played
such an important part in the last
two presidential elections seems des
tined to have some trouble in resum
ing business at the old stand, for the
campaign of 1904.
The g. o. p. slogan of the last cleo
ton was -four years more of the
full dinner pail" but only three
years of the time has elapsed and
thousands of dinner pals are empty
and before the next election day
rolls around it seems quite probable
that there will be but few, if any
full dinner pals in the land.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1908.
A-GOOD RECORD.

For once at least, a Montana leg
islature has met and transacted it's
business in an expeditions manner
and adjourned without leaving room
for criticism. The petitions ad-
dressed to the governor asked that
an extraordinary session be called
for the purpose Of enacting ltgisla-
ton named in the petition. The
governor issued the call restricting
the purpose of the session to the
legislation asked for in the petitions
and the work of the session is in re-
freshing contrast to the dilatory
methods pursued by the same body
at the last regular session when the
only bill passed during the first
thirty days of the session was the
one providing for the payment of the
per diem and mileage of members.
During the present session of eleven
days, four bills were passed embody-
ing the fair trial legislation asked
for constitutional amendments relat-
ing to child labor and the eight hour
law, both of which were passed at
the regular session but were inopera-
tive because of defects in the bills
as passed All of the bills passed
were signed by the governor, al
though he registered his disapprOval
of one or two of the fair trial bills
in a message to the legislature, but,
Notwithstanding his dislike of some
features of the bills. all of them We're
signed. The governor could hardly
have done otherwise, however, for
the bills contained only the legis-
lation asked for in the petitions, and
as the governor is an advocate of di-
rect legislation he could hardly af
ford to ignore the wishes of tie
thousands who signed the petitions
The work of the session is salts
factory to everybody excepting, per-
haps, Mr.. Heinze. but as the Henze
corporations have exactly the same
privileges under the new laws as the
Amalgamated companies, Nh. Heinze'S
objections are not well founded AS
matter of fact the Heinze objec-
tions are founded upon his desire to
hold the unfair advantage which he
has so long enjOyed through the bias
ed courts of Silver Bow county, and
his objections furnish the best of
reasons for the passage of the fair
trial laws.
Taken all in all the work of the
session will please nine-tenths Of the
people of the state and they will not
begrudge the $4,000 that the session
has cost.

auctions of the last few months are
numbered by hundreds and there is
hardly an industry in the country
that is not affected. The Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
roads have reduced the working time
of all men employed in shops; 1900
employees of cotton mills have suffer
ed a reduction in wages of ten per
cent.
In Colorado a strike and lockout
Of miners is on and troops are being
employed to intimidate the men.
The habeas corpus law has been sus-
pended by the governor and the
struggle is a most bitter one. Seven
thousand five hundred harvester en-
plOyes have been discharged and
wages to the amount of $5,0OO,OOO
per annum have been thus cut off
and these are only few of the hun
dreds of examples that might be
cited.
Political conditions may have moth.
ing whatever to do with these condi.
tons but inasmuch as the g. o. D.
claimed credit for the full dinner
pail, 1T is only natural that it should
be blamed when the pail is empty.
