Case Got Into the Courts.

After the shooting the question of
responsibility came up and the case
got into the courts. The theory Of
the defense was that Mrs. Shove had
not been hit by the ball at all. but
that she had probably fallen and struck
against something sharp, causing the
wound. Yet Mrs. Shove insisted that
it was a bullet that hit her and the
jury took this view, for it gave her n
Judgment for $500 damages.

Cattle Dipping Regulations.

The rules of the federal bureau of
animal industry relating to the dip
ping of cattle that are shipped by rail
went into effect December /, and
while just now they only affect Mon
tana cattle slightly, next year they
will hit them pretty hard. For many
years in some portions of Montana
cattle have been affected with scabies
or itch, and the same disease is preva-
lent in other northwestern states. The
disease is not fatal, but it is contag-
ious 1t has the effect of keeping cat
tie poor, and after they have had it for
any length of time they become weak
and succumb to hardship.
The cattle nen believe that some ac-
ton should be taken to rid the states
affected of the disease. but many of
them are of the opinion the rules pro-
mulgated by the department. are too
strict. In order to consider the sub
ject, and if possible arrive at some
definite conclusion so as to take united
action i'll presenting their views to the
bureau, there will be a meeting Of
range cattlemen in Denver in January.
There is no question but many Mon
tana cattlemen will attend the meet
ing.
The regulat ons We're issued by the
bureau last spring, but the Montana
cattlemen met with the chief of the
bureau, and presented such a strong
case that the rules were suspended for
the season. The cattlemen contend
the disease is not serious enough to be
treated as a fatal contagion, such as
Texas fever or foot and mouth disease,
and they want the regulations amend.
ed SO as not to inflict the injury on
the cattle industry that will follow if
the regulations as they now stand are
not altered.
The committee that has issued the
call for the Denver meeting says that

by rail from any exposed territory un.

have been exposed to it. This will

near S. H. Erwin's barn, when Mr..
Dodson happened along and thinking
to take a part in the exercise, made
one jump. But this proved to be one
too many, as the jar in some manner
snapped the knee cap Of the right leg
in two about three-fourths OF an inch
from the upper end. The Young man
was taken to DIR. Reber's Office where
the operation of wiring the broken
parts together was performed; and he
is now getting along quite nicely.

were not acquainted. In their days
there were no free schools, and all
girls were not blessed with wealth,
out were more ambitious than the
average school girl of today.
The following incident will illus
trate the ambition OF two western
girls, who asplred TO gain access to
/ famous standing in certain circle.
They were graduates of a western
university and had thorough cole
giate education. One had been sur
rounded by every advantage, She
had fond parents and wealth, was
helped. praised and encouraged. The
other girl was the eldest daughter OF
a poor widow. She mad struggled
through the university by teaching In
vacation. Her struggle with poverty
had taught her kindness and sym
patty. SfQW
AS time passed on after their edu'
cation, both OF the young girls gained
the goal OF their hopes and ambition.
and were invited to read paper be
fore the same literary society. When
the wealthy girl appeared before the
society, her dress Of velvet and point
lace and her diamonds We're so strik
ing that they became obtrusiye Her
paper was fairly good, but contained
nothing of permanent value. Her es'
say and herself were alike quietly
dropped. Before this same club came
our quiet, plain. young friend of the
tolsome life. Her dress was as plain
as her face. but her paper was rich
in information and filled with results
OF deep and earnest observation
From this she gained tame, and hes
name was found among the invited
guests present at receptions given to
distinguished authors. both of Am
erica and Europe. Why dij she sue

sessed of the true. deep. thorough
genuine culture. both OF mind and
heart. To her plain living and high
thinking" was a lifelong practice
Would you be prepared TO attain
like reward? Cultivate her spirit;
initiate her example.
The education of our girls today is
an important question. and II is safe
to predict that the coming generations
Of girls will get far more good from
their school training than has ever
been realized during the history of
the human race.

the SCHOOL GIRL OF TODAY AND
OF YESTERDAY. ~

There Ia probably nothing that
marks the progress OF our country so
much as the advancement OF the
school girl. The long hiatus during
which girls went practically without
free school opportunities was about
a century and: half. Where their ed.
ucation was looked upon as a useless
expense II Is now looked upon az a
necessity. II was even fashionable to
ridicule female learning, and It is not
until It'll that we find the public
schools opening their doors to girls.
Even amer their entrance there were
many obstacles to overcome.
The cultivation OF the female mind
was regarded with utter Indifference
and we often find record Of village
fathers voting not to be at the expense
of schooling girls. Probably some OF
the advantages which the school girl
of today enjoys are due 10 the fathers
of today, who are willing to sacrifice
much in order 10 educate their
daughters.
In the colonial days OF our country
we find two distinct types OF the
schoolgirl. Northern and Southern
the fbrner more achieving. the latter
more lovely. The southern girl was
usually educated at home. while the
northern girl attended school o.

were manners, alphabet, and the spell

DOMESTIC EDUCATION OF GIRLS.

There is nothing in which the pres
ent age differs from the past more
than in the domestic education Of
girls
To-day ii seems that the highest
aim is to make girls as useless for
domestic and house keeping purposes
as possible. And the more super
fetal and fashionable they are. the
better satisfied are both mothers and
daughters. So ii is a grieyious moral
and social wrcug when girls are
brought up comparatively helpless
in the household.
All girls should begin when young
to take an interest in the family. and
should be taught daily to do some
thing for its comfort They should
he taught To come cheerfully and
promptly to the aid Of the mother in
her cares. Every girl, whether rich
or poor should have a practical
knowledge OF house work or disorder
will reign in the household: thus
making discomfort in the family II
she does not know how 10 have the
work done properly.
A girl should know something OF
the expenses of the family, and how
TO keep an accurate account OF their
OWE She should not consider her
self thoroughly educated until she has
mastered something by which she can
gain a livelihood should she be re
duced to the necessity Of supporting
herself And this happens quite Of
ten. for 50 many families by uneX-
pected reyerses are reduced TO power
~.
Never was there greater bunder
than to substitute accomplishment
for domestic duties True education
should prepare a girl for her duty as
companion Of man. She would then
be q real treasure. instead of being
burden.
