Very domestic is the life of the Bel,

every sort of interest of the parents.
They would not think of going to the
restaurant or summer garden without
the children. and their own pleasures
are often but the reflected ones of
their boys and girls. The father goes
to the circus with his little troupe Of
young folks about him and enjoys
their joys. The happiness of the peo-
pie is centered In their homes, and
anything that viii interfere with the
good of the child is not tolerated by

Rearinn Our Own Burdens.

In the moment of stress into which
new grief or great anxiety plunges
all human folk now and then, it is
quite natural to blab out our woeful
story to the nearest listener. In nine
cases out of ten the recipients of oul
condolences do not care. They listen
with curiosity instead of sympathy and
consider one bally fool for telling all
one knows. Heartaches wear out, just
as physical wounds heal. We have
but to wait in patience and silence
This is the stronger and better way.

THE MILLS OF JUSTICE
Troubles of People Sifted Through
Court Hoppers.

Esquire woodruff passed judgment
Tuesday in somewhat unusual case
Several month S ago man named
IErnest l.. Coffman was arrested and
brought before Squire Bacon on a
charge of wife desertion. The mat
tier was adjusted by the court order
ling the payment iby defendant Of
leleven dollars weekly for the support
of the wife and daughter, a girl of
about ten years OF age. Coffman at
first attempted to fulfill the Judgment
of the court but was unable to pay
the entire amount and to live himself
upon the wages he was drawing. Up
on his own motion he amended the
Judgment of the court and paid his
wife seven dollars weekly while he
had work. During the winter he was
doing little or nothing and the pay
ments lapsed but he had recently
been making up the delinquencies.
The case upon application OF the wife
was re-opened before Squire Wood
ruff who after hearing the evidence
of both sides and learning of the eff
| forts of the defendent and the claims
of the wife amended the original
court record stating that if the de-
ifendant pay five dollars weekly to-
ward the support of the daughter the
Judgment would so stand. The faith
err agreed to do this and more. He
desired to provide home for his
daughter but the wife wanted the
lgirl with her. Mr.. Orvis, attorney
for Mr. Coffman, will take the matter
before the district court and divorce
proceedings may be instituted.

Successful Market Day Being

Roundup will hold its second
monthly fair and market day next

sociation, and present indications
point to a very successful day. No
pains or efforts will be spared to
make the coming fair day a great
deal better than the first one held
here. and one that will be difficult
to come up to in future attempts
along similar lines.
Not only is the plan of holding
these monthly fair days a matter of
great importance to the people of
Roundup, bat the ranchers who
make Roundup their trading point
as well, and all should combine in
making it the biggest thing of it's
kind in the Valley. When once es-

tablished, ranchers will find it a
great convenience to be able to
market or purchase stock once
a month, and the more interest
shown in the matter, the bigger and
better the market will be on future
fair days. 1t is the purpose of the
association to make Roundup the
biggest horse and stock market in
the Musselshell valley, and once
having the reputation established,
it will be comparatively easy to
maintain it.
A partial list of the stock to be
sold next Friday and program of
sports and amusements is published
elsewhere in this issue of The
Record.
Be sure to come in for the big
day.

ToWnsite Co. Surveys
Second Addition to
City Of Roundup.
FIRST ADDITION SOLD out
Lively Demand for Residence
Lofs-Addifion to Be on
Market in Short Time.

The Milwaukee Townsite Com
pany has corps Of engineers at
work this week surveying another
addition to the city of Roundup,
this making the second addition to
the original townsite. Altho only
trif1e over a year old, the original
townsite and the first addition have
been completely sold out, and as
the demand for residence lots con-
tinues brisk, the company has found
it necessary to place on the market
a second addition to meet this
demand.
As far as The Record has been
able to ascertain, the new addition
will comprise of seventeen blocks,
joining the present townsite on the
north and west. There will be a
tier of two blocks on the north side
and one-half block on the west, the
bluff making it impossible to get in
full block. 1t is probable that
the lots in these half blocks will be
made longer than the usual 14O
feet. The seventeen blocks will be
cut up into approximately 200 lots.
In connection with the present
work, it is understood that the COM
pany will survey a number Of ir-
regular acre plots just west Of town
on ground which the company has
recently secured control Of, and
which is not suitable for buildir.g q
purposes.
AS the survey now being made will
have to be approved by the head
Office in Chicago, and filed with
the county clerk and recorder, it
will probably be a month before
the lots will be thrown upon the
market. 1t is expected that there
will be a lively scramble for choice
locations in the new addition.

hf RANCH NOT SOLD
Deal for Famous Ranch Property
Fails to Go Thru.

With the arrival Of H. F. Lowther
from London, England, last week
it has been announced that the
deal for the NF ranch, negotiations
for which had been under way for
some time, has fallen thru. Immed.
lately after it was learned that the
firm refused to sell an attempt was
made to lease the property for a
term of years but this also failed.
1t is also understood that the party
who was negotiating for the pro-
perty wanted it for dairy purposes.
He is now securing options on var
ious other tracts in this vicinity this
week.
In an interview with The Record,
Mr.. Lowther stated that the NF
was still on the market and that in
all probability it would be sold
within short time.
