within the last five or six years
that the habit of cisaret smoking has
made its appearance among the boys
of the schools of Chicago, but during
that period it has increased to such
an extent that several thousand have
become addicted to this evil habit. and
the majority of these boys are so at
fccted mentally and physically that
they are unable To make further prog

We have considered mainly the evils
of intemperance. but from our study of
physiology we learn that we do many
other things Injurious To our body.
Most of these errors We can avoid when
we know about them. and, therefore,
we as children should take all pains To
master this subject. The privilege we
have in studying this subject is a great
one. and one which many of our par
cnts did no: enjoy.

RESPECT THE LAW.

The following extract from a speech
made by Gov. Folk of Missouri in
New York city is good enough to re-
member:
"The Missouri idea means the en-
forcement of law. and if that law be
bad the remedy is to repeal, not to
ignore it. Disregard for one law
breeds disregard for all law. In al
lowing some laws to go unenforceo
we reap a harvest in having all laws
broken. Good men will observe even
bad laws. 1t should be that all men,
good and bad, be compelled to keep
all law, good and bad, because 1t IS
the law. The patriotism OF peace IS
lust as necessary as the patriotism Oh
war. The patriotism OF the ballot IS
even more necessary in free country
than the patriotism of the bullet.
Plenty of men will die for their coun-
try, but..the man who will live for his
city and state every day is the man
the government needs. The govern
ment never neglects the people unless
the people first neglect the govern
ment
No government, city, state ornation-
al, was ever better than the people
made it, or worse than they suffered
it to become. Good citizens make
good laws. but no law can make good
citizens. States and cities do not
consist of mortar and brick and stone,
but of the character OF their citizen

RUoco OF BANKERS.
Devices Used to Either Gain Time or
Inspire Confidence.


Some amusing anecdotes are told of
the devices resorted to by bankers to
gain time and inspire confidence. On
one memorable occasion the excited
subscribers, much to their Indignation.
were only able to enter the bank one
by one except at the cost of spoiled
coats, as tie cute manager had caused
the door posts to be freshly painted.
Another bank prevented crisis in
its affairs by exhibiting in the Win
dows large tubs apparently brimful Of
sovereigns. These tubs, however, We're
simply upside down and a small guam
tity of gold only piled up on their bot
toms.
Put the most ingenious dodge of all
was successfully carried out in Buenos
Ayres. There was Il run on 4 large
bank. and for several days subscribers
besieged the premises. withdrawing
money and placing it in another bank
on the opposite side of the road. 1t
happened, however, that these two in
stitutions had private understanding,
and as fast as the safe bank receiv-
ed the deposits they were returned to
the ..unsafe" one by an underground
passage. with the result that every one
marveled at its continued ability to
meet its demands.-London News.

MRS. SANFORD GREEN DEAD.
Mrs. W. B. Miner Receives the Sad
News on Sunday MOrninQ Last.

Word was received by Mrs. Miner

Culbertson that day. On Monday
morning Mrs. Miner left for Culbert-
son, where she will remain until af-
ter the funeral.
Mrs. Green is we'll known to many
of the residents of Lewistown, she
and her husband having resided here
for some time. The deceased lady
was 62 years of age at the time OF
her death and has been ailing fol
many years.
There are four daughters left to

The rapid fencing up Of the count,

The rapid fencing up of the county
generally brings forcibly to notice the
lack of county roads in many locali-
ties. This is a matter which should
be at once attended to by the resi-
dents of the various districts in which
the roads are needed. The section of
the statutes applying to the estab-
fishing of county roads provides that,
IL road is needed a petition properly
gotten up on blanks provided for that
purpose and signed by at least ten res
idents Of the district needing road
should be forwarded to the county
commissioners to be read before their
regular meeting and to De taken action
upon by them. This is the only meth
oi provided by the Montana laws for
the establishing of county roads and
1t is therefore in the hands of the
residents OF each and every district
to see that they have sufficient roads.
The commissioners, on receiving
road petition appoint two viewers and
send them with the county surveyor
TO look over and survey the proposed
road. A valuation is set on the right
OF way and damages paid by the coun-
~ accordingly. 1t is a very simple
matter to put through a county road
and there is no excuse for any dis
trict being without public highway
IL any Of the residents Of said dis
trict take enough interest in the mat
ter to get up a petition.

EXHIBITION OF FLATHEAD PICTURES

high school building, Prof. Silloway
gave an exhibition of pictures OF the
Flathead reservation secured by him
during his stay in the Flathead on
the occasion OF the visit with the BIZ
ological party last year and the year
previous.
The pictures are excellent and en-
brace the country extending north
ward from St. Ignatius Mission. The
scenes in the Mission range are clear
and well defined and the pictures Of
the Flathead lake and it's enviro-
ments are very interesting. The
professor also showed some interest
ing groups taken at the Missoula
last year, among them being
the Fergus county delegation.

the high school orchestra were first

The Baby Camel.

The baby camel is curious looking
little creature, but one which you
would hardly select as household pet.
Like all young beasts, it is playful, in a
modified, solemn sort Of way, and is as
clumsy as it is odd to look upon.
Some one has said that if a camel
were rid Of it's deformity it would be
quite respectable appearing beast.
But the hump is in nowise deformity,
and a camel who possessed pride Of
race would die Of shame if such thing
We're to happen to him. In other words,
he would be a camel freak. And with
a baby camel. as his hump grows apace,
he, too, becomes unusually proud and
consequential.

One Of the most important factors
in the prosperity Of Fergus county
is irrigation. The methods Of irriga-
tion employed in this section Of the
state are at present, comparatively
speaking, extremely primitive. Too
much is left to chance and the nat
uTal rainfall and in consequence there
are years when the crops are not
what they should be.
4 large portion of Fergus county
is listed by the Geological Survey as
semi-arid, yet when there is plenty of
moisture good crops are raised on the
lightest of lands in the county. If
the country was irrigated from a sys-
tenn of reservoirs it would be possible
to raise good crops in the dryest of
years. 1t has to be dry winter in
deed when the snow fail is not suf-
hcient to fill reservoirs Of almost any
size at the coming Of the first Chi
hooks. The natural slope from the
mountain ranges creates a drainage
which if controlled would store enough
water for all purposes. 1t is not an
extremely expensive matter to form
a reservoir when the geographical
conditions of the country are as favor
able as they are in the vicinity of the
mountain ranges in Fergus county. By
the expenditure of considerable work
and some money reservoirs can be
built to drain the mountain coulees
and store sufficient water for irriaa
ton during the dry periods when the
crops are starting. The manner il
which reservoir sites and ditch right
of-ways are obtained will be seen il
the columns of this issue.

1t has been suggested by several
of the school patrons of district Nc.
] that the boundaries of the district
be changed and that the outside locali-
ties be formed into school districts
separate from the original district ow-
ing to the fact that it would be SO
much easier to regulate the education
al affairs of the outside localities by
the action OF the local boards COM
posed of school patrons living in the
immediate vicinity. The district at
present is almost entirely under the
management of the city members of
the board owing to the fact that the
outside members find it extremely hard
to attend the meetings on short no.
uce. The local members do every
thing in their power 10 bring about
good results but naturally school
government composed of men living
in the vicinity of the schools on the
outside would bring about results more
satisfactory to themselves. The pres
ent entire district is liable. under the
last sale of bonds, for the payment
thereof but that matter could be very
satisfactorily arranged with any 10
cality desiring to form a district oi
their own. With the formation Oi
two or more districts, the taxpayers
in the newly formed districts would
derive the benefits from the paymen
of their school tax and would have
the full control and the expenditure
of the appropriation to their district

manner in which the district can b
