TAKE STOCK OF TALENTS.
Good Advice for the Business Woman
and Others.

Good Advice for the Business Woman,
and Others.
Twice a year every merchant takes
account Of stock. When the work Is
completed the s%hop-keeper knows Just
where he stands. II a certain depart
nent in his store is losing money, he
plans on Strengthening it or cutting It
out entirely. II another department
is making an unexpected success, he
specializes upon 1t and features 1t.
He has what might be termed a com.
mercial housekeeping.
Now. l have often wondered
whether it would not pay for those Of
US who work for our living to take &C
count Of stock at regular intervals,
rot making an inventory Of ribbons,
lanes, shirtwaists and hats in our pos.
session, but of talents. The Influences
of business life should tend to broad.
en- and develop the feminine mind;
SC whenever l hear a business WON.
al mourn because she finds herself in
a groove, or, as most of us put 1t. In
a rut, l wonder why she does not
stop long enough to take account of
stock. Perhaps she will discover some
talent which will lead her to q more
remunerative and congenial occupa-
tion.-Woman's Home Companion.

Eavesdropping.

Is a bad thing either on the part OF
your neighbors or when these spring
rains run off of your roof on the walls
of YOUR houses and wet and disfigure
them. The latter kind of trouble we
are prepared to help you overcome as
we make the finest line of v
troughs and down spouts OF any n
in the city. We are so equipped in
our shop that we can make v
troughs Of any length in single joints
up to eight feet so you need not put up
a lot Of short pieces, which means a
lot of extra joints, and eventually
leaks. Remember this is an important
matter and also remember that the
only people in the city that can do
this for you are Holidays.

Chauncey Root this morning re-

Spokane, Wash, May 4, 1905.
My Dear Sir:-I want to particu,
larly call your attention that this pres.

along, and 1t would not pay me to book
as it is nearing the time when l am
to fight Mitchell, and l may accept
Frank Slavin's offer, as you see by the
enclosed telegram. to go to Dawson
City, Yukon territory.
Now, if you want me while in this
part of the country this will be the
only opportunity you will have. I mean
every word | say. If you have any
offer to make me or any reply to this
letter. l would thank you very much
indeed to address me at my permanent
address. which will be the Portland
hotel, Portland, Ore, from this date on.
Thanking you for past courtesies,
believe me to be very truly yours,
JOHN l.. SULLIVAN.
P. ST. do my monologue, which
runs twenty-three minutes, also my
boxing, which runs fifteen minutes
with my sparring partner, Jim McCor-
mick of Galveston, Texas, and not
Jack Mccormick of Philadelphia. |
would thank you very much If you
would hand the enclosed copy Of tele-
gram to the sporting editor of some
paper printed in your city.
The telegram referred to is dated at
Dawson, Yukon territory. via Portland,
Ore. May 8, and is Is follows:
John l.. Sullivan, Spokane, Wash.
Guarantee you five thousand and

LAWS AID A NECESSITY.
Unpleasant Fact Brought Out by Sub
lest Of Divorce.

Unpleasant Fact Brought Out by Sub
Jest Of Divorce.
Much is said and written now upon
the subject of divorce, says Miss
Julia Magruder in an article entitled
"Lancelot, Guinevere and Arthur n
the North American Review. And
much there is to say on the legal side
of the state against the man or wom-
an who seeks to break the legal BOND
of marriage. Perhaps, Of all these
arguments. the strongest is that OF
necessity. The law must hold a nan
and m together. for the reason
that love will not. But for this fact
the impermanence Of human ahection
which every day confronts US, Love
and not Law might be conceded 70
constitute the marriage bond. But
stern necessity compels rs to recog-
nize the fact that this obligation too
rarely holds to be established al .
precedent. Therefore-in the present
age Of man, at least-we are COM
PEELED to respect the legal bond. The
legal bond, yes-but the mere legal
bond, no!-and when Tennyson
pushes it to the point OF assuring,
without doubt or hesitation. that this
will be the one which will prevail IN
the eternal hereafter. even his beauti-
full poetry does not save the situation
from an element of the ridiculous.

THE GROWING OF APPLES.

In a number of yards in Lewistown
can be seen apple trees bearing fruit.
In one instance the trees are so heav-
lily laden that it was found necessary
to prop the branches. A ranchman,
not far from Lewistown, who has CIV
en- considerable attention to apple cul-
ture, will have a bumper crop this
year. The only complaint ne makes
is that the limbs are not strong enough
to hold the apples until they ripen.
All of this would seem to indicate
that with some care and study a
hardy variety of apples can be rails
ed in central Montana. 1t cannot be
done in all localities. perhaps, owing
to the danger of late and early frosts
In the higher attitudes of the noun
tain foothills it may be impracticable,
but in some parts of the county we
believe it entirely feasible. and that it
will be SO demonstrated in a few
years.
Naturally the nonessentials to a
good living are given very little at
tention in new country. The pro
ducts that are essential and that can
be quickly turned into money are Civ
en- first place This is sensible and
commendable, but the security it gives
should not stiffle ambition and enter
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1905-08-25
WILL BE A FINE EXHIBIT.

Every effort is being made to have
the finest agricultural exhibit at the
forthcoming fair ever seen in Fergus
county. R. Won Tobel, of that depart
ment. is working energetically to that
end and our farmers are showing a
disposition to make the display a
most creditable one. The exhibit will
be preserved and sent to the state
fair in Helena, which occurs on the
first week in October. 1t would be
just the thing for Fergus county to
take the first prize in these products,
and if our farmers will take an inter.
est they may carry off the blue rib
bbon. In any event an exhibit can
be made that will compare favorably
with that of any other county in the
state, especially will this be true if
the fact is taken into consideration
that the greater part of the exhibit
was produced without artificial aid as
regards moisture, farmers trusting to
the soil and rainfall alone.
Push the good work along.
