The Small Stick and the Naked Fist

nc SHlau StlCh dHu VIC Ndhcu II ASS"
A great noise is made nowadays over
the "big stick" and the mailed fist"
These terrible things have not landed
on anybody's head with annihilating
results as yet and probably never will.
The mere idea of them serves a pur-
pose. They can be and will be brought
down with a vengeance if nothing less
drastic is effective to keep nations and
individuals in order.
Meanwhile it is useless for any OF
the common run Of men to charge their
failures to the want of magic club or
an iron hand. There is a mountain Of
ordinary work to be done where man.
moth implements would be as much
out Of place as a sledge hammer driving
tacks in picture frame. The frame
and all would be smashed.
Average work calls for concentrated
energy and persistent application.
Constant dripping wears away the
stone" for no good purpose apparently
except as an exhibition of the power Of
trifles. The drops fall continuously in
the same spot. One by one they are
nothing. Should they fall in incOm-
prehensible numbers all over the
stones surface for millions Of years
they would barely leave a mark. 1t is
striking always in the same spot that
does the business. 1t gives to the
atom the power Of Titan. And this
is the lesson for would be doors Of
great deeds whose tools are merely
the small stick or the naked fist. No
marvellous power can be evoked at
single blow, only just the power need
ed for the occasion. A small steel rod
will bore a hole through an obstacle
where a huge battering ram would
smash itself to pieces. Both the drill
and the ram are mighty in force, but
they can't swap jobs without coming
to grief.

From His Point of View.

"You can't imagine" said the musical
young woman, 'how distressing it is
when a singer realizes that she has lost
her voice."

Her Strong Point.

Mrs. Wibbleson is woman of
strong points, isn't she?"
"Well, rather. At the reception the
other evening she gave me a dig with
an elbow that left no doubt in my mind
concerning the strength of at least one
of her points. ''-Chicago Record Herald.

EXPIATION OF A WRONG
The Atonement of D.. Craig Accomp-
 lished by a Banquet.

It is ;he unwritten laws of the Ben
 eYolent and Protective Order Of Ellzs,
 social, charitable, etc, that have made
 that order famous throughout the land and each lodge has few of these GUS
 toms peculiar to itself One custom of
 the Phoenix lodge is that no man who
 has neglected to marry and settle down
 before he joins the order, shall be per
 mittcd to do so afterward, except by
 permission of the lodge, under penalty
 of having to give a banquet to the
 brethern later on. There is no particu-
 lar time limit for the expiation of the crime, but the sentence is memorable and can only be escaped by death. Thus far no one has accepted the alternative. The latest offender to be brought to
 justice $ Dr. R. w. Craig, who got married outside the jurisdiction of his own lodge, but he has been taught that the order knows no state lines and on Thursday night he made good.
 The banquet proper needs no descrip- tion for all Elks' banquets are alike, in that all of them are different, and each of them is the best to be had at the particular time and place of it's occurrence. This being an Elks' ban quet, it was no exception. But there was l particular feature in the toast list, in that it was unusually well ar ranged, every subject being assigned with a particular regard to the person. ality of the speaker. It was sought to find for each mcn, a text that he could talk upon from observations made within his particular field of human activity. Mos or the speakers are lawyers end if any of them lacked in formation they had clients enough who could furnish it. For instance Judge Burnett was invited to respond to the sentiment Babies and How to Raise Them" Judge Bakers text was, 'Is Marriage a Failure" George Purdy Bullard told about "Caudle Lectures" J. L. B. Alexander was given the sub ject, "Tkn Edmunds Act"
 It is possible that no special signifi- canoe would be detected in these sub- jects by a reader in a strange land, but people who know the speakers and who have kept in touch with local events can see the hidden joke in each one. The full list of toasts was not secured but the above information which was gathered from reliable sources, though not given out by the secretary, gives a good idea of the jollity of the occa- sion.

containing the $500 in transit from
 Phoenix to Roosevelt Inspector Phiel
 who is working on the case returned
 last evening from Roosevelt. He said
 there was nothing he could say in con nection with the case and his remark
 led one to believe that the affair is as
 far from being solved as it was the
 day the robbery was discovered.
 NEEDS A BRICK FACTORY-Theo-
 dore Hapke yesterday paid visit to
 the grounds of the beet sugar factory
 at Glendale and inspected the district
 with view of erecting a brick making
 plant. The local brick market is such

 CELEBRATED HIS FREEDOM.-I M. Camacho was before Justice Bur nett yesterday for drunkenness, min II gled with disturbance of the peace. If II any man had right to get on a drunk; Il that is a plain drunk, one which would | not interfere in any way with society, II but Camacho went beyond bounds. He Il had recently been released from jail where he had been detained for several and was afterward indicted II for robbery. There was really no evil dence against him and it turned out that the territory really wanted him only as a witness. The real offender having been covicted and sent to Yuma, Comacho was released.

CD. Bach, commissioner of public lands,

Wipf, secretary of state, comprising the
board Of capital commissioners of the
neighboring state, are in Helena for the
purpose of looking over the state house
with view Of adopting similar plans in
the construction Of new Pierre capitol
building.
"We have read about your capitol and
believe it is just about what we want
said Governor Elrod.
1--WE expect to spend about half a
million dollars on the building. The
last session Of the legislature appropri-
ated $l25,o00 for building one wing.
The remainder of the money we hope
to realize from the sale of state lands, of
which we have 81, 900 acres set aside for
capitol building purposes. Our consti-
tuition, like that Of Montana, prohibits
state indebtedness In excess Of $780,
