jiu"n:n. What would have been the
| III tory IF this country if Henry tlay's
brilliant son had not been killed in the
Mexican war OF if Webster's brilliant
son had not lost his life IN the same
international strife? These are uues-
tinns which ! love TO ask for many
reasons 1t is to prove to you and me
that no question in our lives is too in
significant to weigh carefully We
may think we are deciding an insig
niiicant matter. but that seemingly in
significant decision may govern not
only the destinics of our own lives but
the ,iestiriea of many lives directly or
Indirectly dependent upon us.
Another Lesson.
Another grnnt LESSON which we learn
Is that each generation has different
and ~ distinct work /" do When we
90 back to the time Of bradford and
Miles Sianhieh there we find the stern
stuff IF u T. = life. The founda
tons of uati"trHl ,haracter had to be
laid There ur found men who were
hcwers Of great rocks Of truth They
were hard headed set They did not
believe I'm flowers and rainbows and
apple blossoms But they had n great
work to- do. Foundation stones are
rarely beautifed by the sculptor's CHS
o. They must DO laid In the dirt
But they are the most important stones
In the temple of national life Thus
these broad brimmed Puritans did
their work we'll. for they laid for the
nation the foundation stones Of moral
character and spiritual truth.
Then came the age Of Washington.
Samuel Adams. Otis and Franklin
They were builders Of our political and
constitutional life. rs the Furitans
were the builders Of the nations spirit
unl and moral life. Then came the
early years Of Edward Everett 1Iales
own life That was the growing age
of our nation. the time of acquisition
of extensive territory. Of new states
and the scnticrings Of many peoples
Then came the emancipation age Of
Lincoln, Seward, Grant aud Lee aud
Alexander H. Stephens. That was the
age when the many states were welded
into one firm unbreakable nation
Ours il the age when we are to battle
for social rights ami for the downfall
Of the saloon and for the triumph Of
Gods church and for the ,fllon Of all
hearts us brothers. Wealth. untold
wealth. is ours. The greatest interna
tional influences * ours. And now we

What Defeated Adams.

Another Impressive truth emphasized
by our author which many Of MS pro-
fess to know but which most of us
need reminding of. is how little things
inevitably decide the policies OF the
men who control the destinies of the
nation AS the falling Of stone may
change the course of d running brook
course Of our lives. and they do con
tlnually change them DR.. Hale tells
us that one of the great caI'scs' Of John
Quincy Adams defeat for the presi
dency was the fact that he had intro
duced a billiard table into the White
House Many things less than bill
lard table have decided The careers Of
the worlds greatest men.
Study the life of Abraham Lincoln
How many little things decided that
career! Take him, for instance. when
he was Il little boy of eleven years Of
age. falling into a deep pool in the
creek and nearly drowning and only
saved by the presence Of mind of a
boyhood companion not as large ~
himself. who extended q stick to him
and pulled him out when Inc was about
to go down for the last time, or take
that other most remarkable incident of
Lincoln's life, when, after his defeat
for reelection to congress in 1919, he
turned his face homeward without II
dollar I'm his pocket His law practice
WIS gone. His political position was
gone. EVERYTHING seemed to he against
him. At this critical moment Presi-
dent james X. Polk offered him tn"
governship Of the territory Of Oregon.
Supposine he had accepted that posi-
ton. MS he nearly did what would
have happened to us as nation?
When the civil war broke out. would
Lincoln have been standing In Edward
Dickinson Bakers shoes as the United
States senator from Oregon? Might
not William II. Seward or S. +. Chase
have been delivering the inaugural nd
dress as president of the United States
In 1861? Had the great forensic foe Of
Douglas been removed from the stra
tegic battle-ground of Illinois, what

lions. and yet these are all dependent
upon the ives" or "no" which AEra
ham Lincoln gave to President James
X. Polk i'm 1S40 In reference to the
gcvernorship of the far away Oregon
territory.
And then as I delve into the auto
biographical recollections of DR.. Hale
and into the life stories of other Amer
leans | cannot but read strange signs
of the times as ! loiter by the tomb
stones Of some of the nations many
men who died in young manhood |
cannot but say to myself. "What wouil

One of the larges, and most enjoya-

city took place Friday evening, At the
residence OF Dr.. and Mrs. John v.
Carroll, the occasion being the twenty.
fifth anniversary OF their marriage.
There we're about a hundred guests in
attendance, the list including visitors
from Helena, Great Falls and Havre.
The various rooms were tastefully
decorated with floral designs in white
and green, and the lawn was illumin.
a,ed by electric lights. Excellent
music was furnished by the PinkertOn
and Davis orchestra from the front
porch of the residence, in which claret
punch was dispensed during the even
ing.
The guests we're entertained with
cards and dancing, a delicious lunch
con being served at midnight. The
hos. and hostess received q large
number of mementoes OF the occas-
!or, ia the form Of handsome articles
OF silverware, and were heartily con-
graduated upon the celebration OF
their silver wedding.

Divorce Law Is Tangled Up.

F. W. Mettler of Helena, according
to a report from the capital, has
found a mares nest in the law re-
specting the rights and disabilities of
divorced persons in relation to their
remarriage. Mettlcr says all the
printed codes of the statute forbidding
the remarriage Of Divorces within two
years are wrong, and that the real
law, the engrossed copy OF the law,
the law that reposes in the sacred
archives of the secretary of state, pro.
hibits the innocent party to . divorce
from ever marrying and leaves the
guilty % the right to marry at any
time.
MIR. Mettler, however, according to
the same report, confesses that the
e%ngrossed copy of the law which the
secretary OF state has is erroneous
TOO, it being the work of a Legislative
clerk who did not write it right. The
question is, If the statutes are wrong
and the engrossed copy is o right.
VIVA. is the law: Mettler is silent as
