Giendive The County Seat.

The editor Of this paper had
the pleasure, for the first time, Of
visiting the county seat of Daw-
son county, last Friday and Sat-
urday, and we were very favor
ably impressed with what we saw.
The first place, of course, to at
tract our attention, was E. J.
Berry's Jordan Hotel, and there
we were made comfortable for
the night, in q pleasant airy room,
and in the morning were we'll fed
and made to feel at home. We
visited most Of the business
places Of the town and were i'm
pressed with the air Of general
prosperity that existed among
them. The newspapers Of the
town are deserving Of more than
passing mention, especially the
Dawson County Review, owned
and edited by James A. Metcalf,
a gentleman of wide newspaper
experience and exceptional abil-
ity. The Review now has an ex-
caale44t plant but is making an
addition to it in the shape of a
linotype machine, part Of which
is even now in the office.
We visited the quarters of the
Dawson County Club, an organ
ization Of Glendive citizens insti-
tuted primarily for the pleasure
Of its members. The Club room
is az exceedingly pleasant place,
equipped with billiard and pool
tables, card tables, newspapers,
Magazines, etc., and with a dom
-nlissary department where almost
any kind Of liquid or other re-
freshments may be secured.
Almost every business and
professional line is we'll repre-

Wynn Caught the Crook.

AS stated in the last issue of
the eer, a transient sue
ceeded in passing couple of
spurious ten dollar bills in town,
and made his getaway. Deputy
Sheriff Wynn, of this place tele-
,phoned the Sheriff at Glendive to
look out for the fellow and his
partner, giving a description Of
the man, but the Sheriff was un-
able to get him, so Mr.. Wynn went
up on No. 3 and soon found his
man in a saloon, when he arrest
ed him and had him placed in
Jail pending trial. The trial was
held before Justice E. C. Leonard
on Saturday and the fellow, who
gave his name as j. R. Herzer,
was fined $3.50. He was accom-
panied by his brother-in-law and
a friend, who may be able to
raise the money to pay the fine,
as Harzer did not have it, him
|self. If they do not raise the
amount he will be allowed to
work out the fine at $500 per
day, which will give him 12J
days in which to study upon his
folly,
He gave Mr.. Wynn a hard luck
story, said he had never before
committed a simular offense, that
he had a wife and baby and was
willing to make restitution to
those whom he had swindled if
Mr.. Wynn would let him go, but
the Deputy remained firm and
the fellow got his due.

GOOD manners are not taught
in the school books. They are
found in the home lessons.
WHAT do you think Of q man
who will sit down to a table three
times a day, and thank the Lord
for bread which he has, sWindled
some poor man or beat his grocer
out Of?
IT is we'll to be charitable in all
our conclusions. mindful that we
often need the cloak Of charity
ourselves. Fill life with sunshine
and strew flowers where others
throw stones. Make life a bright
spot in this world and where you
see flowers cast smiles and wheth-
er it be morn, dusk or night, let
the sunny side of nature always
be at full meridian.
IT would astonish many Of us
sometimes if we could know what
our neighbors think about us.
Every man has some kind of
standing in the community where
he lives, and he is sized up a
great deal closer than he has any
idea Of. You may set it down as
a fact that there isn't a twelve
year old boy in the neighborhood
who hasn't his opinion Of you,
and he wouldn't be slow about
expressing it either, if a stranger
should ask him for it. Every
man is always making character,
whether he is doing anything else
or not.
IT is the daily life that tests us,
the manner Of men we are. 1t is
not our prayers, it is not our pro-
fession, but it is the tone of daily
intercourse and conduct that de-
cides how we stand. The little
homely graces; the cheerful,
everyday amenities; the Christ
like spirit uttering itself, not SO
much in conscious act as in an un-
conscious influence; not so much
in deed as in that subtle aroma
which, without name, excludes
from the sanity soul, to equals
and interiors, to agreeable and tc
rich, poor, ignorant, to young, to
old; bearing burdens; accepting
crosses; seeking no great thing to
do, content to put self by and be
a servant of the lowest these
are fruits Of one root - fruits that
none can counterfeit.

AN AGED COUPLE.

but compliment our friend upon

aged dame. Look at her. Her

her, and so shared, it seems all
most sweet. Years of sickness
have stolen the freshness Of life;
but like the faded roses, the per-
fume of her love is richer than
when in the full bloom Of youth
and maturity. Together we have
wept over graves. Thru SUM-
shine and storm we have clung
together, and now she sits with
her knitting, her cap quantity
frilled, the old style kerchief
crossed white and prim above
the heart that beat so long and
true for me; the dim blue eyes
that shrinkingly front the glad
day; the sunlight throwing a

Failure Unexpected.
1t was generally understood that the
firm had advised its patrons to buy
grain this year and that both the COM
pany and its patrons profted thereby.
The announcement of its failure was
therefore unexpected on the Produce
exchange.
On the Stock exchange, however, it
was understood that the firm had
heavy commitments in Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroad stocks
and that they suffered chiefly from the
enormous shrinkage in the market
values of those securities.
