sELF-sUPPoRTING STUDENTS.
Is It True That They Are Not Wei
come or Popular.

Formerly a student who worked his
way through college anywhere was re-
garded with approval, even heroized.
Now he meets with condemnation on
both sides-from his associates in his
work because he is willing to do any
thing and do it cheap, and from his
associates in his study because he
lowers the tone of the college and does
not contribute to its athletic and so
cial display.
Many of our colleges were started
with the idea that students should

TO IGNORANT
TO REALIZE IT

We are in receipt of a letter
that was sent to US last week, in
which the writer attempted to
show US where we were wrong
in publishing the article a few
weeks ago in regard to certain
mail ORDER patronizers.
We would like to publish the
letter in full, which is an attempt
to prove that we ought to buy
our goods of Shears Sawbuck &
Co. etc, and disclose the ignor-
ance OF the writer, but it has al
ways been our policy to refrain
from publishing articles until we
knew who the author was and
had his signature attached. Not
signing this letter, the writer
was either to illiterate to spell
and write his own name or else
to cowardly and afraid, to back
up his own statements, maybe
both. The article is devoted en-
tirely to boosting mail order"
houses and knocking home mer-
chants, saying that the mer-
chants here were ''howling" be-

only from the heads of persons
not capable of caring for their
own minds, who are more or less

UNITED
IN MARRIAGE

Last Sunday afternoon at the
E. l.. Wilson ranch as the clock
struck 4:30, E. L. Wilson of this
city and Mary ]. Anderson of
Bozeman, Mont, were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony by
Judge T. j. Martin. The cere-
mony was a very quite affair only
the most intimate friends of the
contracting parties being present.
The groom is one of Custer
County's most highly esteemed
ranchers and has resided here
since the country first settled up.
He has a large ranch about four
miles southeast Of town where
he has lately made many i'm
provements and where he expects
to make a model home for him.
self and wife.
The bride, who is a young
lady of excellent qualities, ar
rived about a week ago from
Bozeman. The Eagle wishes to
join their many friends and
acquaintance in wishing them a
long and prosperous future.
On Monday night a good crowd
of invited guests gathered at Mr..
Wilson's home, where the even
was passed in dancing and
renewing old acquaintance. An
excellent supper was served
about midnight, after which,
dancing was continued until
nearly 2 o'clock, when all left for
home we'll pleased with the good
time accorded them that night at
Lee Wilson'S ranch.

AS for the statements about
the coal oil, we will be obliged to
inform the writer that he is
either mentally unbalanced or an
awful truth ~stretcher, as we
don't believe it is possible for
anyone to buy coal oil for this
money. We have an idea of who
the person is that sent in this

fully say that his character is so
black that it casts a shadow on
the sun and that his heart must
be a green worm" that feeds
