The news flew fast through the set

turned from her long search for the
Sirdar. The warship occupied her
usual anchorage, and a boat was low

tenant Playdon went ashore with them.
A feeling of consideration for An
struther prevented any arrangements
being made for subsequent meetings.
Once their courteous duty was ended,
the officers of the Orient could not give
him any further social recognition.

exasperated when he hurt his shin

looking tins, with its accumulation of
debris.
The boat swung off into the tideway.
Her progress shorewards was watched
by a small knot of people, mostly
loungers and coolies. Among them,
however, were two persons who had
driven rapidly to the landing place
when the arrival of the Orient was re-
ported. One bore all the distin-
gushing marks of the army officer of
high rank, but the other was unmis-
takably a globetrotter. Only in Pic
cadilly could he have purchased his
wondrous sola tapi, or pith helmet
with its imitation puggri neatly frilled
and puckered-and no tailor who ever
carried his goose through the EXile's
gate would have fashioned his ex-
pensive garments. But the old gentle
man made no pretense that he could
"hear the east a-callin'." He swore
impartially at the climate, the place

The Humorous Side Of Politics
Clippings from MI. Young's
editorials before he sold the
Chronicle:

Last week our esteemed contem-
porary, the editor of the Medora Her.
aid. had another serious attack of bill
business. and as is usual with him when
so afflicted, vented his speen upon the
CHRONICLE. We are every ready to dis
cuss in sane and gentlemanly manner
with him matters of public interest up
on which we may differ. But, we are
not willing to enter into any mere jang-
lie and exchange of personalities. We
have different conception of what
constitutes journalism than that; besides
our readers are not interested in our
personal spites and quarrels. But,
above all we cannot permit ourselves,
nor have we any inclination to decend
to his level of bar room vituperation.
A mans moral character, breeding and
past associations may be easily gagged
by the language he uses; judged by
that standard we are veay much afraid
the Editor of the Herald would meas
ure up mighty small as to any of these
attributes. Respect for the common
decencies of life and the character
of the matter that appears in our COL
umns prevents us from printing the
scurrilous article uphn US which ap-
peared in the last issue of the Herald.

The Billings County Herald,

The Billings County Herald,
Medora. n. d.
Dear Publisher
have been reading your paper of
late with interest, and wish to compli-
ment you on the good common sense
editorials you have been running on
the political situation of our county and
in the way you have handled the ter
rible attacks on you and other good
people of the county by the Martin fac
ton. 1t grieves me to read the writ
ing of my successor, ]. w. Brinton, in
the Golden Valley Chronicle, which I
established and took great pride in pub
fishing for three years. am sorry
that the good old sheet has fallen into
the hands of publisher who has a
creed like that he claims as his creed
Hate for hate. blood for blood and
blow for blow" 1t is nothing less than
anarchism; creed of an Indian and
very much un-American. Unfit for
children to read.) When you consid-
er the source of all the bar room vitup-
Grafton that has been put in print as
political editorials of late in his paper
againstthe several candidates who are
men of moral character, it should be
ignored. hope the voters of Billings
county will do so. am glad to state
that the first issue Of the Beach Ad.
vance, which expected to establish
but could not, is to be published next
Friday fnothing unfortunate happens,
by c. |. Cook. and that Beach will
again be represented by newspaper
under creed Malice toward none,"
and the worthy candidates who seek
the respective county and district offices
will have an opportunity to be favor
ably introduced to the voters of the
county. When say this speak the
sentiment of as many as 200 farmers
whom visited last week. They are
all loud in their ENDORSEMENTS of MIR.

that both Mr.. Martin and his man

Young writer's are apt to become
cynical at the repeated return of their
manuscripts and not infrequenily are
heard to remark that one must have a
name in the literary world to sell the
output of ones brain. Undoubtly it
is such claimant that is furnishing
the rot, indecency and bar room vitu-
peration contained in the Medora Her
aid.

venomous attacks. On the contrary we
regard them as pygmy boomerangs.
