from his horse at Toxic and seriously
Injured, won undying fame through his

prosaic to the ideal. Tile seed of ro-

him, had at length struck soil, and his
pleasant musing was evidence that 1t
was exceedingly likely to germinate.
AS he banged down his roll-top desk
that night he hoped that she would
soon repeat her visit.
The desire to see her again grew
stronger as the days passed. In the
hours when business did not claim his
thoughts her picture was recurring
memory. On the seventh day after her
coming, hoping to hasten her call, he
ventured to write a brief request for
the promised few designs.
When her card was brought to him
the following morning some new
strange sense Of gladness seemed to
permeate him, and he met her with
| hand outstretched and smiling face.
That second visit proved the precursor
of many, with intervals which gradual
ly lessened, until the day dawned on
him when the hope that he might not
ask in vain filled him with joy.

They Love the Empress.

1t Is doubtful IL any royal consort IS
more loved by her people than Is the
empress of Japan. Educated according
TO feudal ideas and skilled In all the
accomplishments betitting one of her so
cial eminence, her majesty strongly IA
yors the broadness of the new educa-
ton for woman, and from her private
,mrse gives large sums toward the
maintenance of women's schools and
universities. During the war with
Russia the empress visited the hospi'
tails many times and every day passed
hours making bandages. The effect oil
these bandages upon the wounded sol
diers has been of deep interest to med

honored by them seemed to rally un

TELEPHONE EXCHANGE At LAST.
Roundup to Have Telephone System
Within Eight Weeks..Also Line
to Harlo and Miles City.

According to present indications
Roundup will before many more
weeks have the long looked for tele-
phone exchange. The present party
line system has proven altogether
inadequate to meet the require
ments Of growing Roundup. and
the businessmen have been in hopes
for sometime that an exchange
would be installed and the service
improved.
F. Elmer Tate of New York City
has been in town the greater part
Of the week looking over the field
and he has been so we'll pleased
with the outlook that he has de-
cided to locate. He will be associ-
ated with w. Kennison and several
other men whose names are not
given out yet, the general under
standing being that they will buy
out the ngs-Musselshell Tel. Co.
The latter company has been de-
sirous of selling out for some time
and it was on this account that no
improvements have been made in
| the local service.
1t is the intention OF the new
company to build a line to Miles
City and toHarlowton, and being al
ready connected with Billings and
Lcwistown, this would give Round
up excellent telephone service, an
improvement much to he desired.
While here Mr.. Tate secured SO
subscribers who agree to rent a
phone for three years at a rental not
to exceed 81 per month. The
company intends TO put in a first
class up-to-date exchange in every
respect.

TO ORGANIZE COMMERCIAL CLUB
Meeting to be Held Monday Evening
for the Purpose Of Organizing
Boosters Club.

4 meeting of citizens of Round
up has been called for Monday
evening in the new laundry build
ing for the purpose of organizing a
commercial club. As Roundup
continues to grow, the need Of such
an organization becomes more
and more apparent and it is the
general opinion that this is very
opportune time to form a boosters
club.
While everyone in Roundup is
booster by himself, there is nothing
quite so effective us all OF us boost
ing in harmony and unity as we
will be able to do when organized.
4 commercial club is of inestimahlc
value to a city and it's prestige and
influence is often underestimated.
Thru its efforts numerous improve
ments can be brought about, new
enterprises can be secured to locate
here, the advantages of the city
heralded, matters of a public and
semi-public nature looked after, and
IA hundred other things taken care
Of which is everybodys' business
but no ones in particular.
Every citizen Of Roundup should
make it point to be present at the
meeting Monday night.
