Each young man, when rowing fan
from the old home and mother
sends many a thought of longing
to be once again within its walls,
and near that mother, and listen
o her words of kindness and good
will. Think of her always. Think
OF her bravery, of her love, and
cease spending your days in riot
Gus living. Be a comfort in her
declining days. Remember, her
battles have been all fought for her
children. Fighting life's battles is
no easy task. Not only have
women proven brave in life's strug-
giles. But in her country's need
she has stood among the bravest.
L might speak of the Spartan
mothers of Ancient Greece, who
gloried when they learned of their
fathers, sons, and brothers as
among the slain,-to think they
had died gloriously for their coun-
try's freedom. And the Scotch
women, after the battle of Gull
loden, at night, with lanterns
lighted, searching that ill-fated
battlefield for their dead and
wounded relatives, would shame
eah other if one, upon coming
across the dead or wounded body
Of some near and dear relative,

An Old Kansan.

One of the Kansas boys who is
doing we'll out here in the North
west is JOS. J. Anderson of this
city. His home was formerly in
Leavenworth, Kansas. He left
there for the West, however, some
years ago, and at his profession
has w rked in Colorado, Nevada,
Utah, and Nebraska.
Everywhere he goes he gives
the best of satisfaction. As an
entertainer he stands second to
none. He is at present drawing
a salary of about $1,000 per
annum. He is well liked by
everyone who meets him, and his
many friends throughout the
country will be glad to learn that
he is here in Helena doing well.
Mr.. Anderson is a thorough
race man, and does not hesitate
to encourage their enterprises to
the utmost. He was among the
very first of our own people to
pay a yearly subscription to this
new enterprise, The MONTANA
PLANDEALER.

SOME ADvIoE,-AND A STORY.

There is a somewhat ancient lesson
contained in the following from the
New York World, but it is so excel
lent that the story is produced here :
Don't advertise if you believe you
are wasting money. Let your COM
petitor waste his money on advertis-
ing, and perhaps in this way you'll
soon put him out of business. Just
stand back AID laugh at him when
you see him s~quandering his money
for printers ink. Once there was a
boy named,-we think his last name
was Wanamaker, or maybe Money
maker anyhow, his name was John,
with some sort of a maker attached
to his last name. He owned fifty
yards of calico, three pairs of jeans,
and a half dozen pairs of boots. He
called this a dry goods store through
a Philadelphia newspaper, and off
cred to sell a pair of socks for 80.
cents. The Observation-Disclosures
ing just laughed. Young John spent.
s65 with a Philadelphia paper to ad-
vertise just time, and not less than
800 worth of goods. He vas eau
toned by the merchants who knew
it didn't pay. 1t was through SYM
that they offered him advice.
But John did not listen to them, and
went and blew his money fOolishly Il
and today poor John sees the result
of his misdoings,-he has so many
large dry goods stores that he can
find time to study his Sunday
School lesson. Can you see a lesson
n this ? Be a progressive up-to-date
business man. Advertise your wares
f you want to sell them"

WHO ARE THE BRAVEST IN
LIES BATTLES.

A Brilliant Essay Read by Mrs. j. II.
Alexander at st. James A. NJ. Il.
Church Song Service Sunday
Evening, March 20, 1906.
REV. ALLEN AND FRIENDS:
As Brevity is the soul of wit, "
my part in this evenings enter
tainment will be, indeed, brief.
Much more could be said, but |
shall leave it to you to finish in
your minds what | shall leave I'M
said. My subject is an old one
and yet ever new,-"Who are the
bravest in life's battles ?" Some
will say the soldier, the sailor, and
the hero in other walks of life.
Yes, they are brave, as their many
deeds of valor as recorded in his.
tory assures u.s.. But Drawer than
any of these, the wide world Ger,
are the mothers Of this world.
Very little do we hear of their
valor. No country claims them.
They are the heroines of all coun-
tries.
From that far away home in
Bethlehem down to the present
day comes the cry Of the mothers.
And women have been fighting
these battles increasingly day by
day. They have no place upon a
map, but are being fought by the
of men, each hour,-aye,
each minute in the day, and will be
until the end of time. No powder
or shot is ever used,-nor sword
or pen is ever brought into action.

locating in the City.
He is a life long republican, and his good
work on behalf of the citizens is deserving
of reelection by a greatly increased ma
jority.
Geo. ID. Beattie from the Sd Ward.
MIR. Geo. ID. Beattie is another one NJ
Helena's prominent business men whom the
people are fortunate in getting on the ticket,
as 1t is such men that the people need to
assist and counsel in shaping the destiny 0
our City. Mr.. Beattie is a lifelong republi :
can; has been a resident of the Civ since
1885, and a resident of the Ward for X
years. The voters can make no mistake in
giving Mr.. Beattie their unqualified support.
C.P. Jennispn from the 18th Ward.
Mr.. C. +. Jennison is one of our brilliant
young men whom the republicans of the
4th Ward present for the Council. He is
one of the stalwart republicans, and merits
the support of all who care for the City's
welfare.
M. A. Wilmer from the 9th Ward.
The 5th Ward republicans present that old
war horse of republicanism for the 4th term
as Councilman, he also having served one
term from the sd Ward before moving into
the 5th Ward.
MI. Wilmer has lived in Helena for n
years, having come here from Utah. He is
a carriage builder and blacksmith by ~occupa-
ton, and conducts a business on Fuller Ave.
Mr. Wilmer will no doubt receive a hearty
support for reelection from voters of all par.
ties as they conceed his worth, and are loath
to make a change.
Jacob Walker from the 9th Ward.
Hon. Jacob Walker is the Republican cam
didate from the 9th Ward. Mr.. Walker is
old Kansas Republican, and has been
tried in the fire. We know that the voters
of the 9th Ward will make no mistake in
e%lecting Mr.. Walker.
John Dryburg from the 7th Ward.
The popular contractor and builder from
the 9TH Ward was again unanimously nomin-
ated by the Republicans of the 9TH Ward,
and as a matter of course he will be triumph
antly reelected. He is the right man in the
place, and the 9TH Ward can be con-
graduated on keeping such men as Mr.. Dry
burg in the council to look after their inter-
ests.

VOTE FOR LINDSAY FOR MAYOR.

The colored voters as a mass can always
be depended on to stand up for those princi.
pies which will strengthen and perpetuatc
good government. When there has at any
time been any other result where this vote
was concerned, it has not been the fault oil
that vote,-it was the other fellow.
The proposition of electing a mayor is an
important one. Ii carries great weight and
power. 1t is an executive office, and for
such Office we do not think that the colored
voters will encourage Tillmanism, Varda-
manism, or Dixonism by voting for the
party up here in the North that they stand
or in the South.
Mr.. Lindsay, one of Helena's foremost
business men has been nominated by the
Republicans of Helena for Mayor, and that
.s what the City needs,-a business admins
%tration, not apolitician with friends to reward
and enemies TO punish.
From every standpoint it is the duty of
the colored voter to give his support and
vote, on behalf of the principles of republic
canlsm, as advocated by F. S. P. Lindsay,
and as enunciated in the Republican plat
form.

heard from the lips of those brave
women, who suffered many hard
ships in finding a home in a for
eign land. The women, too, OF
Switzerland, we must not forget.
That little mountain republic gave
to the world some of the .bravest
women of the times. In 1922 the
Emperor of Austria, in order to
extinguish the Protestant religion,
sent his army into Switzerland.
The valley they entered was shut
in by high mountains. The men
were high up on the hills, driving
and watching their herds. Only
the women remained at home.
They heard the approach of the
Austrians,-no time to call the
men,-they seized their husbands
pixies, scythes AMI pitchforks, and
rushed out to meet them. There
are passes in Switzerland where a
few weif-armed persons can beat
back a thousand. The women
prevailed over the Austrians,-they
were driven back. OF course the
Swiss men were as brave as the
women. On account Of this gal
liant defense of the women, it con-
tinues to this day to be a standing
rule in the valley that the women
go first to the Communion, and
the men follow. | will not dwell
upon the French brave heroine
and martyr, Joan of Arc, who, at
the head of the French Army led
them to victory.
But within a few months, during
the Japanese Russian War, a case
second to none was recorded.
We all know the Japanese are
ancestor worshipers. Their laws
are, no son or husband can become
l soldier if the mother or wife is
dependent on him for support.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

Anderson, May S.-Richard Alexan-
der, a 13-year-old-boy, was Instantly
accidentally killed in the the Orr Mills
at 7 o'clock this morning. The acci-
dent occurred in the card room, on
the third floor of the mill. The ele-
vator is operated by means of heavy
weights. The weights run in a shaft
by the side of the elevator, and the
runway in which the weights move is
boxed up for eight or ten feet above
the floor. Above this it is open.
The boy climbed up on the outer
side Of this boxing and was looking
down the shaft, watching the elevator
ascend. The weight was descending
at the same time. and caught the boy
on. the back Of the neck and pinned
him down to the edge Of the planks.
His neck was broken, his skull crush
ed and he was otherwise bruised.
Death was almost instantaneous. The
elevator was stopped by the impact
and had to be lowered before the boys
body could be removed from its posi-
ton.
The accident was due entirely to
the boys carelessness. He had been
climbing up on the very same place
yesterday watching the elevator, and
had been warned against doing So.
Coroner Pruitt empannelled a jury and
held an inquest. The verdict was in
accordance with the facts.
