The Actors Retort.

Not long ago a New York theat-
rical manager came in Unexpectedly
upon the rehearsal Of one of his
shows and didn't like the way one
of the comedians was delivering his
lines. The man, who had never met
the manager, was slow, lackadaisical
in manner and lacked spirit.
"IIere, here, this won't do at all, :"
said the manager, striding down the
aisle toward the stage. More steam
there, more steam! That's what you
wantSmore steam~
"Gee," said the man, gazing down
on the manager. Steam: You
don't want an actor-you want a
locomotive"

THE BIBLE.
Much Popular Misinformation About
the Scriptures.


The notion loosely floating about
the churches is that the Bible came
down from heaven, cleanly printed,
nicely bound in morocco and gilt
edged, with a bookmarker against
that text which has been erroneous
ly made to declare that every Scrip
ture is inspired OF God. This heav-
en- sent volume is incapable of error
in the minutcst detail. Every SEN
tence, every word and letter and
punctuation mark is infallibly guar
anteed by the Holy Ghost! Nobody,
to.Atbe knowledge of the present
- yer, has ever said that he holds
~ e that theory of inspiration.
1t if the popular idea of the Bible
'ere analyzed it would warrant the
aference. And this infallibility is
q practice claimed for the Bible
S printed in the English tongue
I nd read in our churches. Yet all
~ world knows, or should know,
nat the revised version which We
now possess is based on the author
lied version, which is an improved
edition of the bishops Bible, which
was a bad copy Of Cranmer's Bible,
which was based on Coverdale's
translations of Dutch and Latin
translations and Rogers version Of
Tindall's Bible. And if we expect
to find rigidly accurate messages
from the very mind of God, convey
ed in version Of version which
is a translation of a translation, we
are demanding the most miraculous
of all conceivable miracles.
Popular misinformation about
he Bible seems to begin with the
purchase of a copy in bookstore.
Yet the adventures of the Bible
documents before the day of the
printing press constitute one of the
romances of history. The earliest
Hebrew copy of the Old Testament
of undisputed date goes back only
to the tenth century A. d. For a
period, therefore, of not less than
1900 years and perhaps of 1900
copy had been succeeding copy, gen.
Grafton following generation in the
world of books even as in the hu-
man race. Twenty centuries of
editions" had gone the way of all
papyri, even as twenty centuries Of
human beings had gone the way Of
all flesh, and this parchment was
heir of all those ages in the fore
most files of-books. Had no copy
list made one mistake in the course
of twice thousand years? As COM
pensation for the late date of our
Hebrew authorities can be set, il is
true, the scrupulous fidelity with
which the Hebrew amanuensis did
alis work, his reverence for the let
n ter of the document on which he
was engaged and the consequent
comparative purity and reliability
of the text.-Dr. Charles +. Aked
in Appleton's.

HAPPINESS From Troubles.

Being human, happily or u%nhappily.
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the company it loves. We
all have our troubles, and some of us
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation Of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when wretch
ed, but these we believe to be as few
in number as they are disagreeable IN

mans are normal and disposed, there.

A PROSPEROUS YEAR..

AS the year 1907 passes into history
it leaves evidences of progress in the
material and moral we'll being Of the
people of northern Montana. To
most OF them it has been q year OF
prosperity, q season OF plenty, q year
in which they have improved their op-
%portunities and made advancement in
the various fields of endeavor in which
they have been engaged.
The early part of the year threat
ened disaster to the livestock industry
Of northern Montana, a winter Of I'm.
usual length and severity causing
considerable loss to stockmen in many
localities; but the beef shipments made
later in the year indicated that the eff.
feet of Indictment weather conditions
was not quite SO serious rs appre'
hended. The northern Montana bee.
shipments for the season had an esti
mated value Of about 81, OO0, 600, thi.
total including returns from all class
es of cattle that were shipped by som
Of the larger outfits that propose t,
quit the business.
To northern Montana %sheepmen, al
so, the early part of the year brough
encouragement and distress by reason
Of the severe winter. Most of them
however, withstood the siege in goo,
shape, and the excellent demand TO
their products during the market sea
son compensated iu some measure TO
the unfavorable conditions encouu
tered Q few months previous. Tn
sales of northern Montana wool an,
mutton during the year are said /
have an aggregate value that nearl
equals the returns from beef shil
ments.
The year 1907 has been a year G
prosperity on northern Montan
farms. 1t vas an exceptionally fay
orable season for grain and forag
crops, and the supply Of these pre-
ducts harvested by northern Montan
rsnchers is the greatest on record
There are no reliable data relating
these crops from which an estimate {
their value can be made.

THE CHEERFUL SPIRIT.

The industrial situation in Butte
and Anaconda, caused by a partial
suspension of work in the mines and
smelters, is the subject OF philosophy
cal comment by the newspapers OF the
cities affected. They are preaching
the gospel of the cheerful spirit, which
will appropriately apply to many
other communities than those directly
addressed. The Anaconda Standard
for instance, discusses the subject in
these remarks:
After the ballots are counted and
one of the great political parties gets
out in the middle of the street and
shouts the glad news of victory, the
other party gets into line and declares
that it will assist in the pleasant duty
Of upholding the dignity Of the coun-
try and will try to do the right thing,
even if it has been defeated at the
polls. That's the right kind OF spirit
TO show.
Now that Christmas day has gone
into history. and, it is hoped, is
pleasant memory for all, it behoOves
all Of US to get together, praise God
from whom all blessings TOW, get into
the big band wagon and harmonic.
There is supposed to be no such thing
as defeat on Christmas like there is
on election day: but, just the same,
some Of the proletariat feel that the
glorious day has been q pretty siren
uous time, and perhaps it has cos,
many good men more than they were
financially able to spend. But after
all 1t was money spent for the pur'
chase OF Christmas cheer, and there is
nothing lovelier or sweeter on earth
than Christmas cheer: the pity is we
cannot have more of it every day in
the year.
Good old Montana has weathered
many ver storms and always came
out of them smiling, with head erec'
and the glad hand extended to hel
more unfortunate sisters. The timt
to cross the bridge is when the bridge
10 reached on the road down life
pathway, and there is no good excuse
for men 20 complain until they hav'
every reason IN the world to complain
II you can't be cheerful, be as cheer
full as you can, and you can be cheer
full without exerting yourself.
The new year is coming, and, whcl
it arrives, let every man and woman
and child welcome it with shouts o
gladness and great joy, for whit
knows what good the new year ma,
have in store for ALL This year ha
brought some unpleasant things, an,
it will be an unpleasant memory 70
some, but the new year has been I'm
tried, it is full of promise. Laugl
and the world laughs with you, knoc|
and your company is small and no
Of good cheer.
