Miss Ella Caldwell left school
and has gone to live with her sis
ter at Beach.
Last Friday the High school
and the seventh and eighth grades
met for a little practice in SPELL
ing. The spelling was entirely
new to most Of us, and some of
the students have come to the
conclusion that weekly practice
in the future would be a good
thing.
We spent most Of our time last
Thursday and Friday taking our
monthly exams.

A short time ago a number of
ties had been taken from the N.
P. railway, and upon invest;gtys
ton the victim of the offence was
soon,located, but as the ties had
been slightly used, and this being
his first offence he was let go pro-
viding he would return them at
once. But, however, the next
offender may not get out of it so
easy as this one did.

Rudolph Babler, who last
spring with his wife and sister,
in-laW, Miss Knapp, came here,
organized the Babler Land Co.,
and opened an office, has decided
to remove and is this week pack
ing his belongings preparatory
to moving to Minneapolis. Mr..
Babler informs us that he will
continue to sell Montana land
and will in that way be out here
at intervals with land men. The
Pioneer regrets that these
estimable people should leave
but nevertheless wishes them
the best Of success and prosper
ity,
The Britt ia. Tribune whose
editor, E. N. Bailey, has been on
earth a century, has been recall
ing some of, his earlier exper-
fences. He says one Of the great
est changes in the Materia Medi..
ca is that formerly the doctor al
ways bled the patient, now he
invariably bleeds the head of the
family. Formerly when little
Johnny broke his leg the doctor
pulled it in place and set it, now
he reduces the fracture and pulls
the old mans leg. Formerly the
pills were hard to swallow and
the bills were small, now the bills
are hard to swallow and the pills
ars small. Formerly the doctor
got on his horse and went to
watch the patient get we'll, now
it is a horse on the doctor wsen
the patient gets we'll. Formerly
the doctor used to ride hard to
get there before the patient died.
Now he is always called by tele-
phone as soon as there is a SYM
ptom of approaching illness, and
has to ride hard to get there be-
fore the patient gets we'll and
signs all his property over to his
wife.

The backbone Of the ranch

Better sell while the eyes of

drop this?' One of them, hitching up
his vest, said: Yes it is one of my
suspender buttons This was twenty
five years ago, and present conditions
are worse instead of better.
$50 such conditions you have come
very close to the origin of a great
deal of social unrest. AS grow old
err 7 am convinced more and more
profoundly that the impatience of the
masses comes from the abuse Of wealth
more than from any other cause.
Many of US who claim to be Christ's
diciples are guilty in this, particular
ly. We fail to set the proper pace for
the community in which we live by
our own habits. The presence Of lux
ury and poverty almost side by side
has become a source of irritation to
the average worker. He sees wealth
Haunted laVishly around him, while
he struggles in misery. Is it any
wonder that he becomes wrought up
at what he considers the great inius-
tice of society,""

Human OmnibuSeS.

Milwaukee Journal: eve are all, :"
said Oliver Wendell Holmes, "omni-
buses in which our ancestors are
riding"
Heredity, this means; that sometimes
man gets his blue eyes from his
mother, and his quarrelsome DISPOSE
ton from his grandfather, and his
laziness from his great-grandfather.
Heredity is a mysterious thing. No
man can be certain how much of his
natural disposition is the result of the
life Of his neutrality-suspicious. on
his mothers side. He can be pretty
sure that some of it is.
People have been known to lay their
weaknesses on heredity. 81 was MT
born to work hard" says one man,
because all my people were rich
once, and none of them ever worked
bad temper" a boys mother explains,
you see he gets it from his grandfath-
err" 81 know I'm extraVagant," con-
fesses the wife of a poor man, 'but I
can't help it; it runs in the family"
We are the result Of all who have
lived before US, not only of our imme-
diate ancestors, but Of all humanity.
From the moment of his birth, mans
conceptions of life, the world, duty,
pleasure, loVe-everything, are &C
cOrding as the whole world has lived
and progressed and sacrificed and en-
iOyed and loved. There was not an
act in the French revolution, not a
privation suffered by the early col
onists, not thought in the streets of
ancient Rome that has not left its
mark, small or great, upon the world
as it presents itself to US today.
There are millions of people riding
in US besides our ancestors.
But because they killed in France,
we do not kill today. We are not
strong in adversely just because our
fOrefathers were brave in the trackless
wilderness. We are not limited in
our thought by what they thought in
old Rome.
We never consider old Rome, or the
French revolution or the early col
Onists.
Let your ancestors ride if they like.
If your respect for women comes from
your mother, be thankful that you had
such a mother. But if one of your
grandfathers couldn't control himself,
and another was too fond of his bot
tie, and one great grandfather was
selfish, and a great grandmother was
q little too vain, and it seems to you
that you must have been bequeathed
all sorts of other weaknesses and OBJ
jectionable traits by host of ances-
tors, then the only thing for you is
to say, very respectfully, "Grandfath-
err and Grandmother and the rest Of
you, you are riding in my omnibus,
and Pm glad to have you; but I've
got my own life to live and my own
character to make, and if you can't
help me, why then you'll have to get

A WORD TO HOME
MERCHANTS.

The American Press, in its issue OF
August 3, contained an editorial on
the mail order evil in which it stated
that wholesale firm hit the bullseye
some time ago when it advised the
country merchant to fight the devil
with fire; that is, TO advertise, adver-
tise, advertise. The country merchant
can sell as cheap as the mail order
house, and The American Press says
that while it is perfectly proper for
the home paper to appeal to local
pride and interests, it will be loves
labor lost unless the country mer-
chant does his part. To be effective
the press must have the jealous, in
telligent cooperation Of the country
merchant himself. The Democrat be-
lieves that the home merchant should
appeal for trade on the ground that
he can furnish goods at reasonable
prices and is prepared to give the
public prompt service. He should
not advertise mail order houses by
frequent reference to them. Merchants
who sell goods at fair prices, give
prompt service, and let the public
know the facts by judicious advertis-
ing through the local newspapers, will
have little time to worry over what
mail order or any other houses are

GATHERING OF FARMERS
A Farmers Good Roads COnven-
ton Called for the
State Fair,

The call for a state good roads con-
ventiOn, printed below, is q very
timely thing in view of the widespread
interest in good roads which exists at
the present time. People all over the
state are awakening to the fact that
there is something radically wrong
with our roads when it costs the farm
err as much to haul his crops from the
farm to town as it costs the buyer to
ship those same crops a couple hun
dred miles by rail to the large mar
kets. When public interest is directed
toward this waste, some wise solution
of the difficulty is sure to be obtained.
While farmers are not by any means
the only ones interested in better
roads, they are the most directly con-
cerned and it is proper that they
should meet and form an organization
to look after their interests.
We wish to urge upon every farmer
who can go, the Importance of attend
ing this convention and getting all the
information he can on the situation,
Some of the best road experts in the
United States will be there and a num-
Der of prominent farmers will be on
the program. The Geological Survey,
the Governor, and the State Board of
Agriculture will appoint delegates on
nomination of the town chairman.
The State Geological Survey is going
to build a short stretch of model road
on the fair grounds
