In the line of fancy blowouts Rus
sian stock is up to par.
There were balls and fetes and
fireworks, band played and
cannon roared;
Monarchy was at the bat and all
their royal nibses scored.
Add the Moscow show to London's,
take the paralyzing pair,
Put the queen and czar ogether,
yoke the lion and the bear
Swell the pageantries of Europe till
you get dream to suit
And it's pretty small potatoes
When Bryan came to Butte.
Bryan has had many triumphs,
some ovations off and on
Just little bit the biggest that the
sun e'er shone upon.
You remember the convention in
Chicago, do you not,
When the party went to Bryan nd
goldbugs went to pot?
You remember the excitement when
he rose and caught the crowd
When for fully twenty minutes ev-
erybody screamed aloud.
Oh, the mighty roar of thousands as
he smote the cross of gold.
Oh, the fury and the frenzy as he
crushed the crown of thorns,
AS he grabbed the situation, as the
held it by the horns!
Some were there who lcaped the
benches, some who maniac
dances led,
Some who tried to kick the ceiling,
more who tried to wake the
dead
Twas record breaking rouser,
down to lame it shoots the
chute,
But II wasn't quite fly-speck-

greatest mining camp on earth;
Where the people dig and delve and
demand their moneys worth.
Though the Wall street kings and
princes spurn and kick them as
ciod.
Byran is their friend and savior and
they love him as a god,
Did they meet him when he came
here2 Did they make littl e
noise?
Were they really glad to see him ?
Do you think IL pleased the
boys?
II was the screaming of the eagle as
he never screamed before.
Twas the crashing of the thunder,
mingled with Niagara's roar.
All the whistles were a-screech-
ing, with the bands they set
the pace
But the yelling of the people never
let them get place.
Dancing up and down and sideways
splitting lungs and threats and
ears,
All were yelling, and at yelling
seemed wound up a thousand
years.

IT'S the champion forever and a

Howie's opinion probably covers the
ground very mildly, and have no
doubt that there is little malic-

those parties we're ill-advised or
terrible liars. l think a whole lot
of John H. Garrett, of southern
Idaho III general, and especially of
Mountain Home with it's thousands
of acres of fertile land lying adjac-
ent to it. The kicker and knocker
may succeed in retarding a little
tn progress of growth and develop
ment' but he can never stop it.
The wheels of progress will roll
right over him like railway loco
motive going over a grass hopper.
II carries my fecollections back to a
quarter of century ago when we
settled this part of North Dakota.
The knocker, both here and farther
east, hunted up all sorts of phan-
toms to brighten themselves and ev-
cry one else who would listen to
them. According to their, yarns
there was nothing but Indians.

in summer, hail storms and every
thing else that was bad, and newt
able starvation in store for all who
STAYED.
But what is the result? with all
those who were poor and never
came west they are poor still; those
who came and their feet became
cold and they hied themselves east
ward, they were not at home when
fortune knocked at their door. With
those who stuck it out, took the
bitter with sweet, they have pros
pered. They have seen land adj
vance from ST. Is per acre in 1883
10 $50 per acre in 1908. They have
made money, some Of them lots of
it, and great many of them be-
coming tired of long cold winters
are coming to spend their money
and their efforts in your beautiful
climate. The knocker can't stop
them, he had better get onto the
bandwagon and help boost, and
get hold Of piece of land or he
will be obliged TO live at a soup
house ere death overtakes him.
We have dandy good country
here, Mr.. Editor, but l am fully
convinced that you have better
one.

From the Anaconda. Montana Standard

/ have read of Roman triumphs in
the days when Rome played
ball
When she met all other nations,
taking out of each fall;
When the victorious Roman gener-
ais marched their legions home

With the plumber of the conquered
and the conquered paid the
freight.
Gorgeous were those vast process
ions rolling through the streets
of Rome;
Mad with Joy went all the Romans
welcoming the veterans home.
Gold there was for fifty Klondikes,
silver trinkets big as logs
Marble statues by the CARLOAD,
gems enough to stone the dogs.
Foil owing chariot cars we're cap
tives, dainty damsels by the
score.
Ballet dancers from far harcms,
savage men and beasts galore.
Millions cheered and yelled and
thundered; shook the earth as

All Rome howled-and yet Rome's
bowling after all was not so
warm,
For these monster Roman triumphs

COLDS AND THEIR VICTIMS
Cincinnati Times-Star.

Cincinnati Times-Star.
This is the time of year when pneu-
monia, the grip and. the plain old-fash-
toned ''cold'' do a large and thriving
business. Sometimes it seems as if half
the people you know were either in
bed or shifting around with a panied
expression on their faces and an an
noying irritation of one sort or another
in throat or nose. And the out-of-date
person who for weeks has been taking
no exercise beyond hat involved in a
chronic game of hide1 and seek with
germs in a close, vitiated atmosphere is
still on hand to remark naively, 81
cant imagine where I caught this cold;
I haven't been chilled throug for a
month";"
All of which goes to show that even
in this goth century some people wake
air, is not the place where colds and
the grip and pneumonia come from. It
is the combination of crowded rooms
poor ventilation and human beings
run down" in health by too m UGH
life indoors that gives these diseases
their best chance for effective work.
The mau who goes out alone hunting
in the winter woods Star away from
civilizations; the artic explorer who
spends months in the frigid atmos-
phere of the polar regions-these peo-
pie are seldom bothered by ''colds''
and the like when out in the solitudes.
The very name "cold" is itself a mis-
homer. AS a rule we Jake cold when
perfectly comfortable as far as warmth
is concerned. It is a m~an-spread dis
ease-and uncleanl1ness, poor ventila-
ton and Incorporate habits OF life,
whether this intemperance takes the
form of dissipation, overwork or too
little exercise, are it's chief allies.
If you want to be as free from
"colds'' and the other more serious
kindred affections as your constitution
will allow, don't fill up with medicines,
but keep out of crowded, iu-ventilated
places as much as you reason
ably can; don't burn the candle at both
ends; take a moderate degree of exer-
else and sleep with plenty of air in
your room. This programme may not
keep you absolutely free from the pre-
valent winter ills Of our climate, but it
will do more for you in this direction
than any other plan of life open to the
average worker in the cities.

BETTER Than MEDICINE.
Breathe HyomeI's Tonic Healing
and be Cured of Catarrh.

Nature has a remedy for catarrh, a
treatment thai is far better than dos
ing the stomach with medicine and
drugs.
It is the healing oils and balsoms of
Hyomei which medicate the air you
breathe, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and1ungs, kill
ing all catarrhal germs and restoring
health to mucous membrane.
The use of Hyomei is Ikea curative
internal air bath, and has the same
healing and anticeptic effect as the air
where the pine forest give off their
fragrant and healing balsoms.
Breathe the invigorating and heal
ing Hyomei and see how quickly you
will get relief from catarrh. If it does
not help you there will not be a penny
expense, as J. Ell. Hi1& Son agree TO
refund the money if it fails to cure.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs only

House he promised tina he would
make his proposition a issue
in the coming campaign. Congressman
Bennett, of New York, has Joined he
Ohio member and has introduced a
bill Reproducing the members under

rights of suffrage have been abridged.
He claims that were his bill to be en-
acted the South as a whole. would lose
30 congressman. Mr.. Benefits bill
has been referred to the census COM
mittee and the chances are that it will
never be considered. It is simply
cheap politics.
Congressman Keifer was once peake
OF the House and has therefore had ex-
perience in political legislation. He
knows that the measure he is now adj
vocating will never be adopted, and he
can hardly think that it will help the
Republican party to win votes.
twenty-five years ago sectional feel
ing WAS still in evidence and could
easily be stirred to bitterness. As late
as 1880 the ''bloody shirt was waved
in the North with telling effect; and as
late az 1888 sectional feeling still had
to be reckoned with. But all the Crum-
packers, Keifers and Forakers, who
were years G known as South haters,
could not combine today and make a
vote getting issue of ~sectionalism such
as is now proposed by the ex-speaker.
The country is thoroughly united and
any campaign issue to be effective
must be based on something that
touches the people regardless of the old
