Estimate Of State Expenses.

HELENA, Jan. Ex-Governor Toole
today sent to the senate and house es.
Inmates of the money that would be re-
quired to run the state for two years,
and also estimates of the states in
come. The estimates are made in de-
tail, and cover every department of
the state government. A recapitula.
ton shows the income for 1905 is esti-
mated at S7S1, 027 and expenditures at
$804, 400, leaving a deficit for the year
OF s23,3S2.
In 1906 the governor estim ates the
state will have a surplus of So, 807.
He estimates the at 1871, O27
and the expenditures at $7l5,22O. In
making his estimates of expenditures
the governor makes u number OF cuts
in expenses. He does this, he explains
in his letter of t%ransmittal, as follows:
"In making the estimates of the
amount of money required to be
raised by taxation for all purposes OF
the state, it will be noticed that the
salaries of a number OF the clerks have
been reduced to 800 per month; that
the usual appropriation of 8 1000 for
rewards has been omitted; that the sal
aries OF the three supreme court com.
missioners and their stenographers
have been estimated up to April l,
1905, it being understood that the work
OF the commission would be practi'
cally finished by that time.
''These estimates do not include out
standing warrants, amounting to SOS,

America and the

1EWISH charity in America is the most generous AND BEST
ORGANIZED in the world. But how can the United H.
brew Charities Of New York cope with an immigration OF
89,442 Hebrews in a year, 64.GG2 of whom REMAIN IN NEW
YORK CITY?
The American stands morally AT THE HEAD of the Zioni.t
movement. Our suffering brethren are beginning to turn to .A,ncri
ca, not merely as of old, for a place of refuge. but as a center of p
litcal force for the solution of the Hebrew question.

STATE MIGHT HAVE BEEN AMONG THEM. NOW IT IS PROBABLY

CARTER ELECTED SENATOR.
Leading Candidate Receives Majority
Vote On Sixth Joint Ballot.

HELENA, Jan. 16.-Former Senator
Thomas h. Carter will again repre-.
sent Montana in the highest law.mak.
ing body in the land-the United
States senate. A few minutes after
noon today he was elected by the state
legislature to succeed the Hon. Paris
Gibson, whose term is about to expire.
Mr.. Carter received 50 votes on joint
ballot, a majority OF six.
The scene attending the election of
Mr.. Carter was a notable one. The
result of the ballot had been generally
anticipated throughout the city this
morning, and when the senators took
their places in the house at moo the
galleries were jammed with eager and
excited crowds of spectators.
When the cheering had subsidized,
and the vote had been announced,
President Norris, at the suggestion of
Senator Maddox, invited the senator.
elect to address the assembly and he
was escorted to the platform, the great
crowd cheering enthusiastically.
Senator Carter expressed his appre.
citation OF the honor conferred upon
hime and the profound gratitude he
felt, declaring that so far as light were
given him he could be depended upon
faithfully to discharge the grave duty
imposed upon him. The election to
the United States senate, he held, was
an honor second only to that of cleo.
ton to the presidency.
Senator Carter reverted to the great
area and almost ~measureless resources
of Montana, and held that future gen.
erations would hold the present ad-
ministration responsible for the de-
vel0pment of these.
He predicted that before 1911 Mon.
tana would have a population of l..
100000, and that the mighty areas now
reproductive in the state would be
converted to fruitful fields and gar-
dens. The arid land reclamation
movement he characterized as the
greatest undertaking of modern times,
and he was hopeful of Montana's
share of the prosperity that would
come OF that movement. There was a
wild burst of applause when the SEN
ator concluded his address.

For the Initiative and Referendum.

HELENA, Jan. l4.-As 4 result of two
weeks of the session of the legislature,
81 bills have been introduced. The
house is responsible for IS of them
and the senate for Ii. Two of the bills
have become laws, and one is in the
hands of Governor Toole for action.
These three measures originated in the
house. Two make appropriations for
the expenses Of the session and mi is
the fellow-servant law, the latter being
the one that is not yet signed.
The direct legislation bill which APP.
pears to have the most support in the
two houses of the Legislature is that
introduced in the senate by Senator
Donlan, of Missoula county. There
are several measures providing for
the initiative and referendum now en-.
gaging the attention of the lawmakers,
and they are quite different in some of
their main provisions.
Two OF the direct legislation bills
introduced in the house require 5 per
cent Of the voters for both the initia.
tive and referendum. and they carry
no provision as to what constitutes

Sympathy, Conversation
a~nd-Society
b v Mrs. FRAN LESLIE

YMPATHY is undoubtedly one of the most sweetly ex-
pressive words in our language. What is conversation
of the true, ideal, delightful knd-if not an interchange
of sympathies through the medium Of tactful AND
WELL CHOSEN words? Through it manners are ex-
pressed and the most intimate qualities as well as defects of the
heart transpire. 1t is the most important social accomplishment.
From a merely selfish point of view It's a sine qua non of WORLDLY
success, and the really successful conversationEts are those who talk
not to please themselves, BUT THEIR LISTENERS.
To polite society conversation is what atmospheric air is to the
animal and plant life of the world. In it we live, move and have
our being; without it w should languish, disintegrate AND DIE.
Like the air, it is susceptible Of sudden and rapid changes in tempera-
ture, being successfully hot and cold, heavy and exhnarating, sitting
and stufy, or at certain elevations TOO RAREFIED FOR CON-
FORT. Under its propitous smile the individual character courageous
and blooms forth in most advantageous manifestation, but let the
wind change AND THE SKIES CLOUD OVER and the same
human sensitive plant shrivcls up into silent insignifcance.
There is a fanciful theory as ancient as Plato and IS modern as
DIR. Holmes which supposes our spirits susceptible to certain influences
mutually difused, after the manner of streams O currents, by per-
sons visibly or audibly in each others presence, into the air around,
acting, in the "a of sensitive natures, LIKE POTENT MA
of something like this peculiar spell! l am surc 1 have, and the on
cuson to be drawn from the experience is, it seems to me, that the
real art of conversation, in so far a. it is a art to be studied and
acquired, consists in making an apt start-in pressing the right but
ton, so to speak, and sc turning on the PARTICULAR current
which is to congeniany pervade the circle.
Making allowance for the superficial differences due chiefly to
racial temperament which characterize respectively English and
American, Teutonic and Latin peoples, it is safe to say that the FUN
DAMENTAL PRINCIPLES of conversation hold good UNI
VERSAlLI. If your conversational manner has proved effective
in New York it will not fail in San Francisco OF St. Petersburg or
on board the ocean steamer in the course of your trip around the
world.

IV CAUSE OF THE STRAIN UPON THEIR EYES.
In the country their eyes are accustomed to long dis
tances. They go o n until middle age without confirming
themselves to an office. Then suddenly they come to a city. After
that their eyes must be used in work that is combining.
The result is that THEY BREAK JOY PREMATURELY
People wonder what caused it. They are right when they attribute
it to the sudden change in the mode of life. But it is the unusual
test upon the eyes that causes the snap.
Men who break down and die of heart disease and apoplexy are
often the victims Of their own shortsightcdness They have not
treated the eyes properly. The test is too severe.
THE EYES RESPOND By UNDERMINING THE INTEGRITY OF
THE BRAIN. A BREAKDOWN, ACCOMPANIED az a FATAL STROKE
