I'm this modern day the person who
does things-brings things to pass--is

Ignorance a Sin.
1T is sin against God and your

for it is Gods will to get an education.
When you remember this you should
be strengthened in performing. your
duties. After ones life, food, society,
we need teachers. If self made man,

that has come from
constantly daily association with Col

was surprised yesterday however, and
was forced to admit that Missoula Is
putting up good article of winter
weather. The chill that crossed the di-
vide from Rock creek into the Bitter
Root the night before had not prepared
the judge for the balmy atmosphere
which he struck when he stepped from
the train yesterday morning. He made
some admissions to a Muscular re-
porter yesterday that will be treated
in confidence, but they We're sufficient
to still more indelibly stamp the judge
as fair minded man who is willing
to give credit where credit Is due and
that indicated the banana plants, left
night, had been slightly nipped. But
that is all right; Missoula gets chilly
wave once in a while and even Los
Angeles has frost at times. So the
judge will not be accused of treason If
he does admit that there was slight
white frost at Hamilton and Stevens

N. Doraty started out with his
200 pounds avoirdupois for Seattle
this morning, but landed in the
city Jail. On his way to the In
terurban ticket office, he noticed
a lot of beer signs. and stopped
to investigate. so that when he
reached the ticket office he let
loose with two or three mighty
Indian war whoops. frightening
the women In the waiting room.
When the ticket agent tried to
demonstrate with him, Doraty
consigned him to the place where
the ice trust has overlooked prof
liable business, and aided him on
that suggested journey with
powerful kick. The ticket agent
then called for the police.
When Sergeant Brown arrived
on the scene, Doraty was In the
grip of three T. r. & p. men, and
they were having their hands full.
Doraty sailed into the sergeant as
soon as the others let go of him,
and Brown was forced to throw
him down before he could get him

TAMMANY
LEADER IS
DYING
Senator McCarren, Right
Hand Man of Chieftain
Murphy, Is Very Low
His Sickness May
Affect Election
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Oct. IA bulle'
tin issued at st. GATHERINGS hos.
pital at noon today, where State
Senator Patrick H. McCarren un.
Iderwent an operation for appendi'
citis, stated that the condition OF
the Brooklyn politician was ex-
|tremely serious at that hour. AL
Though the physicians say that
they have not given up hope for
his ultimate recovery, they admit
that his chances are slim.
Boss Murphy, the Tammany
;hieftain, and McCarren are al
eyed to be responsible for the
ticket nominated with William j.
Gaynor, the Brooklyn judge, for
mayor of New York.
William Randolph Hearst has
ntered the field, and will oppose
nudge Gaynor on an independent
ticket.
This election promises to be the
most warmly contested that has
been held in New York for years,
and it is possible that McCarren's S
illness will affect the situation.
Great Racehorse Man.,
"Long Pat" McCarren, in addi-
ton to his political fame, has
been one of the most interesting
and prominent men connected
with horse-racing, and he was the
leader of the fight at Albany
against the Hughes anti-betting
bill, which gave the sport such a
great check. He is noted as a
quiet plunger," his lack of any
display of emotion having often
caused comment. 1t is said that
he would look as calmly at a race
on which he had many thousands
of dollars at stake, as IL he had
just dropped in by accident.
Calm at All Times.
His ability to retain perfectly
calm exterior under any stress of
circumstances has always been
most irritating to his enemies.
During the heated debates in
the state senate where he has sat
since 1895, McCarren never show
ed any sign of emotion, and often
appeared to be paying no atten-
tion when defeat or victory hung
upon the turning of a hair.
McCarren has never made any
effort to deny that he was the
champion of the corporations.

Two More Vote
To Annex

objects. Now Tacoma's suburbs

upon her well-worn clothes was a
five-cent piece.
