Another Bridge Completed.

The old Clements bridge over Timber
creek has been replaced by modern iron
structure, work on same being completed
to-day. The road win, however, be closed
to the public for few days longer, owing
to the fact that the new bridge IS about twc
feet higher than the old frame structure,
necessitating considerable filling in, before
same can be used. Considerable indigna
tion is expressed by farmers in that locality
beoase they were not given sufficient notice
of the closing of the road to the public
thus placing many of them to considerable
inconvenience.

Bright and early on the Fourth
the prisoners were unlocked from
their cells and permitted to spend
the entire morning in the park.
The weather was cool, but threat
ened to rain several times. Fort
unately the rain did not descend
until the outing was over, and then
it poured down rather strong. The
park was decorated with flags and
bunting, and a platform was
erected at the western end of the

ner. From the moment that Dep.
uty Warden Colligan gave the
signal to break ranks and until the
noon hour, everybody behaved
splendidly. There were several
pie-eating contests in which the
man who first devoured his pie was
awarded plug of tobacco. This
feature occasioned considerable
fun among the onlookers. Then
there was number of footraces.
One OF the boys was very success
full as a runner, as he won several
plugs. After the footraces were
over, one of the band boys, who is
quite an acrobat, gave a few stunts
on the band platform. He drew
an appreciative audience who ad.
mired his clever work.
What attracted the great major
ity of the men the most was the
five barrels of lemonade that were
placed at the southeastern end of
the park. Here there was always
q crush, and the more some of the
men drank, the more they seemed
to want. There was plenty of it

Jean UaIjeafl.

Clinton Ambrose Billig, Of Lit
tie Falls, MINI, entertained the
prisoners last Monday evening by
a character sketch of Jean Vatican,
Victor Hugo's classical hero in
Lies Miserables." With much
dramatic fervor and descriptive
power the speaker graphically por.
trayed the life of Jean Val]ean,
his crime, his imprisonment and
his subsequent life. His descrip-
ton of the meeting of the good
bishop and the outcast was excep-
tionally pathetic.
As the speaker warmed to his
theme he rapidly touched on the
events that nodded the character
of Hugo's great masterpiece. He
related how Jean became a great
manufacturer and municiple officer,
and how, when he became rich, he
fed the poor and sick and was
looked upon as a public benefactor.
He then told of his reverses, his
prosecutions, and the enemy who
made his life wretched; and amid
it all, the remarkable heroism and
endurance Jean Vatican displayed
in returning good for evil.
Those who have read Lies Mis-
CRADLES" will never forget the
death scene of Jean Vatican. The
villain turns out to be a hero, a
saint among saints, compared with
whom his prosecutors appeared
like imps from hades. Mr.. Billig
described this touching denoue-
ment with much feeling, and one
was sorry that the life of Jean
Vatican had to end when it was
discovered that be was a man to
be honored, not prosecuted. AT
the close of his lecture, Mr.. Billig
was loudly applauded, which fact
showed that his efforts were ap.
preciated by the inmates.

Bank Celebrates
TIE Fourth.

Hank" said I one day as that
individual lay on the grass dream
ing of other worlds, fare you a
patriot"
Cub, don't you call me any
names. I am a white man and
you know it"
swell, l thought perhaps you
had a sentimental feeling for your
country, and that you would like
to get out on the Fourth of July
and woop a few times, shoot the
atmosphere full of holes so that
every body would know you were a
dyed-in-the-wool patriot"
ooh! that's the caper," replied
Hank. Il misunderstood your
PLAYER. Will we celebrate the
Fourth? Well I should snort. We
will make enough noise to wake
all the dead coyotes on the range.
Celebrate! We will have one of
the biggest displays that ever hap

We had the stuff hauled out to

to come out the next day, which
was the Fourth, and help celebrate.
They wanted Hank to buy a bar
rel or two of irrigating fluid, but
he would do nothing of the kind.

ing how high Hank would jump,
when that individual grunted,
rolled over, and then struck sui
phur match on the side of his
bunk. When the match began TO
burn, that coyote lit one of them
giant firecrackers. He threw it on
the floor; 1t bounced once then
landed right in the center of our
fireworks. In about two seconds
there was one of the grandest dis
plays of fireworks ever shown in
Montana.
The din was terrific. I got out
thru the door with a skyrocket
trying to get out between my
neck and shirt collar. Another
one was boring hole into the
small of my back-looking for a
soft place the way it zigzaged up
and down. Hank came out clad
in a cotton shirt and a halo of
roman candles about his head.
Several skyrockets were boosting
him along. He was very much
excited and was continually yell
ling for me to take the varmints
off of him.
Hank stayed out about a min.
ute, and then went back and came
out with his hat. He laid it on
the grass as tho it was worth
million dollars, went in again and
threw out a mirror that I had paid
fifteen dollars for in Butte. This
made me as mad as one-eyed
horpet. [ hit him on the eyebrow
for all 1 was worth. We mixed,
and just then there was an awful
explosion. We both landed in a
mud hole some distance away.
When we got out we looked like a
couple of Indians with their war
paint on.
We we're soon surrounded by
the maddest bunch of cowmen that
l ever saw. They had heard the
noise and rode out from town.
We were handled kind of rough
before Hank got chance to ex-
plain. 1t was all right as soon as
they found out what the matter
was, but you can bet your best hat
that 1 did not tell them of the can
of powder I fixed up in order to
arouse Hank. If we had been in
the shack at the time, it would
have blown us over the big divide.
We finally went to town and eel
ebrated our Fourth, and we had a
smashing good time, too. So my
tip is, let we'll enough alone.
Don't try to do something you
know nothing about. 1906.

was reading only recently of
man who broke rib while help
ing his wife do the Homework. It
is surely an evidence of an lily
balanced judgment when a man
wilfully undertakes labor that he
knows full we'll is too heavy for
him.
If one be an optimist he makes
his measurements according to
the law of compensation. This
law is not new; many centuries
ago it was expressed thus: "What-
soever a man soweth that shall he
also reap" Any man, be he opti-
mist or pessimist, may lie down to
sleep secure in the conviction that
no matter how fully he may deny
it to his conscience nevertheless
he is only getting just what is
coming to him.
Harry Orchard who has been
engaged in freeing his conscience
and system of a most putrid mass
Of criminal deeds says his career,
which embraces the killing of
eighteen men, began with the CIV
ing of short weight in selling
cheese. There is fearful warn
ing to the coal man concealed in
this statement. If selling cheese
an ounce to the pound short, re-
suits in eighteen murders what
would be the limit for the man
who sells eighteen hundred pounds
of coal for ton?
I During the latter part of the
month of June there will be held
in Chicago a national convention
for the promotion of public munic-
ipal Fairgrounds for children, and
it is urged and expected that every
city in the country Will send one
or more delegates. No city has
sufficient play room for the scores
OF children who, for want of bet
ter place to congregate, swarm in
the streets, therefore such a con-
vention if it can prove practical
plan by which such Fairgrounds
can be provided, cannot help but
result in vast measure of benefit
to the growing children of the
cities who under present condi-
tons, are prey to the vicious
elements which infest the poorer
sections of our great cities.
One of my good friends says our
little colony is made up of ex-
booze fighters and ex-church men,
bers. This may be so, but if it is,
does it lower either class of society
in the social scale? Why is it that
men of the world, average men,
manifest such satisfaction when
preacher chances to 60 wrong; do
they imagine that the downfall of
