A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

lNeceDt news from Tue eastern part
of Valley county, to the effect that
new settlers are arriving and locating
in that part of northern Montana, is
the subject Of these timely and sug.
gestive remarks by the Great Falls
Leader:
That blessings sometimes come in
disguise, is APPLY illustrated by the
recent Turtle Mountain Indian invas.
ion scare in Valley county. Word
was received by the officials at Gull
bertsou which led them to believe that
about 500 families Of the Turtle Noun
tain Indians were headed in hal di.
rec.ion, armed with government scrip,
to settle upon the lands Of the Muddy.
Tha, section Of Montana had just
come in for settlement and an era of
prosperity. and the proposed inva-
sion meant its setting back for q half
Of q century. The Culbertson Search
light was excited, the people were ex.
cited, and Montana's representatives
in congress were flooded with protests
and petitions depicting the blight
which would fall upon northern Mon.
tana when the five hundred families of
Indians should come in and settle
down like locusts upon the best land
in Valley county.
After a month or more OF agony it
was discovered that the alarm was
unfounded: that, instead OF five hun.
dred Indian families coming in and
settling, the excitement was caused
by a few families of French halfbreeds
dropping in to become neighbors to q
few other families, who had been in
that section for a number Of years,
there not being a dozen families in
ali.
But, in the meantime, the people of
Culbertson had gotten the: right kind
of a scare on, and had proceeded in q
way that they probably would not
have done in a hundred years under
other circumstances.
The entire section vas called into
consultation, a collection was taken
up. a committee of hustlers was ap.
pointed. and every train from the east
was met at Minot and every:shundred
miles beyond, to theI Minnesota line,
by members of the committee, who
planned to homeseekers the excellent
country lying IN and Iabout Culbert.
son, and in the valley of the Muddy,
which could be had by simply settling
upon it.
The committee was IN earnest and
worked hard. Perhaps they would have
been just as earnest and worked just
as hard had conditions not been the
same, but this time they were scared,
and the mar who is scared into work.
ing for his home and ireside, general
ly accomplishes more by his work
than the hired man.
The consequence OF it all is that
people are Hooking into Culbcrtson by
the wholesale, and.there is not Il day
passes but there are at least a dozen
settlers who make filings upon lands
in thai section. In fact, during the
past w weeks, over l5O.,ilings have
been made: and while the.lndiau scare
has subsidized, the proposition has been
found such a good one that the COM
mittee has been continued, with the re-
suit that that sectiOulof Valley county
will be settled with more of Il rush
than any other part OF Montana.
SO it is that blessings, sometimes
come in disguise.

You got to unbutton me-here is the

Saving buttons, that's all. Always

Did the goblins chase you when you
was little boy like me?"
"No-yes, if | didn't stand still Now
romp out of your duds and slide into this
and there you are, son, all ready for
bed.
The pretty little white-robed figure
stood prim and sedate before Hennipen
There was a sweet mild expression
dmples in the checks, and between the
half opened lips pearly teeth. Hennipen
had been too busy during his life since
Jimmy came into it to bother or care
about getting the little fellow ready for
bed. Now, this affair all seemed like
some new and pleasing feature, and he
liked it.
Why, why don't you do it, papa:
She does always"
q" Do what, Jimmy? I've put YOU into
your mighty all right, and buttoned YOU
up safe and tight. Why don't do what,'
The pretty face was upturned TO Hen
nlpen's. y slim finger was pressed to the
white forehead and the little lad said
Right here is where my darling does it
1t makes me dream of her and beautiful
angels. | can't sleep less she does it
She's my dearest, lovely. sweet darlingl"
Hennipen looked down at the pure
face, and something laid hold of his
heart as though invisible fingers pressed
ITS strings. . Jimmy, what does she do2"
he whispered softly, drawing the white
figure closer
Kisses me because she loves me best
Of all in the world -"
Better than papa, dear"
OH but that sounds so funny. It's
not like she loves me | am her little
boy, YOU know. You are her Big lin
When she kisses YOU IT amt like She

as never before they had heard and
his hearts harp was touched by angelic
fingers from the far-away shores as little
Jim said his prayers in a voice that WAS
soft as summer sweetest ZephvrS.

II keep still as a mouse
But Hennipen hesitated. Life and its
affairs had come between him and the
beautiful story Many of its strongest
as well as sweetest points had faded away
from his mind Ah! He hesitated so long
that the boy lifted his ewes and SAID as he
took hold of his fingers
III tell YOU all about it, papa"
And the minutes sped along while the
pratthng voice told the sweet old story
OF the Nativity, And il was told as the
llStCllCl IlSttl IlCNCI DClOTG nCdTu II from
human hpS-not from the lips of the
most powerful divineS in the world.
And the man of the busy world drank in
every word; and his soul was lifted as ON

beauty. When the words came slower

The clock ticked away the moments.
but Hennipcn still sat there in the easy
chair with Jimmy in his arms And after
an hour had passed the front door WAS
opened; there came the sound of >ters
on the stair. The library door w, orentd
softly, and Mrs. Hennipen came in She.
Smothered the exclamation of SUNRISE =
she drew nearer and looked down upon
the faces,

Lightly she pressed a kiss upon the
boys forehesd. He only murmured in
his sleep. He dreamed an angel kissed
him She kissed the mans forehead. He
started he dreamed his mother kissed
him He opened his ewes; he glanced
from his wife 10 the little face upon his
breast And then he SAID softly:
