Miracle!

From Everybody's Magazine.
 Once, while Bishop Talbot the giant cowboy bishop was attending a meet ing of church dignitaries in St. Paul, tramp accosted a group of churchmen in the hotel porch and asked for aid.
 "No,' one of them told him, I'm afraid we can't help you. But you see that big man over there?" pointing to Bishop Tal- bot. Well. he's the youngest bishop of us all, and he's very generous man. You might try him.
 The tramp approached Bishop Talbot confidently The others watched with in terest. They saw a look of surprise come over the tramps face. The bishop was talking eagerly. The tramp looked troubled. And then, finally, they saw something pass from one hand to the other. The tramp tried to siink past the group without speaking, but one of them called to him:
 Well did you get something from our young brother?'
 The tramp grinned sheepishly. No" he admitted. 'I gave him a dollar for his damned new cathedral at Laramiey'

 Prince Chun is the lineal grandson of the Emperor Tao-Kwang, who ruled China from 1921 to 1851, and the great grandson of the Emperor Chia-Ching, who was on the throne from 1796 to 1920. His father was the sixth son of Tao-Kwang. and as such was the brother of the Emperor Hsien-Feng, who was the husband of old Tsai An Princess Chun, the elder, had four sons. The second was the late em- peror. and the third the present prince regent
 understand that Tsai An wavered between making the prince himself or the imperial baby the heir to the throne and that she had long confer ences with Yuang Shih Kai and Chang Chin Tung on this subject. It is prob able that Yuan Shih Kai preferred the baby, and 1t may be that this was one of the reasons of that statesman's dis missal from office.
 There is no doubt but that Prince Shun Is more fitted to rule China than any other member of the imperial family. He is better educated than the other Tartar princes; he has travelled more and knows more about modern methods and modern civilization. He kept his eyes open when he was sent to Germany to apologize to the Kaiser for the murder of Baron von Ketteler. As he travelled he had a map before him and studied the politics of the countries he passed through He saw the wonders of our civilization, and since he has been on the throne he has been studying the western sciences modern military tactics and other things One of the generals of the Chinese army who was formerly minister to London Is giv- ing him lessons in English, and he lis- tens to lectures upon various subjects for about two hours each day. He has or dered that the chief tutor for his baby son shall be posted in western learning as well as in the Chinese classics. i A Modest Ruler
 The prince regent manifests a general disposition to improve himself in every way possible. Just the other day he asked one of the officials of the Hanln college whether he might read the books stored in the Imperial library, and he Is doing all he can to keep track of the Chinese newspapers and public opinion as expressed therein.

two people can speak to each other

wires, without anything more than a
box containing the transmitting and

that he is to be spoken to. and he lifts
out the receiver, to which has been

Epidemics Of crime are as common
as epidemics Of disease. If
a man in New York shuffles off the
mortal coil by the aid Of Paris green
he sets an example which slays a
score Of men, between the Hudson
and the Rio Grande. Let
us hope that duelling furnishes al
exception to the general rule. 1t
seemed to US that the recent melan-
choly occurrence near the city would
have made men give their anger
pause and reflect before they repeat
a tragedy whose horror has thrilled
a whole community. And yet, scarce
" is the victim Of the last "affair
of honor' in his grave before other
parties come to the city seeking re-
dress for real of fancied grievances
at the pistols mouth. Fortunately
in the last instance. the officers Of
the law interefed, and there is rea-
son to believe that another tenant
will not be furnished for a bloody
grave. Can nothing be done to stop
these things? Is the law ineffec-
tual: are the officers Of the law pow
erless? We cannot believe the one
thing or the other. The law is am
pie; it's officers should be vigilant.
The sharp cautery of the courts
must stop the further progress Of
this deadly disease.

EKALAKA COUPLE
MARRIED SUNDAY

Last SUNDAY morning at 1920
in the Catholic parsonage at
Miles City occurred the marriage
of June G. Olsen and Miss Hen
rietta Terrett, both Of Ekalaka.
The simple but pretty ceremony
was performed by Father o.
Carroll and was witnessed by the
Misses Mable Terrett, Francis
Freeze, Pearl Freeze, Estella
Hoffman and Lena Kircher. The
bride was attended by her sister
Miss Mable Terrett and Frances
Freeze.
After congratulations had been
offered, the party sat down to a
wedding dinner that was pre-
pared at the Post office Cafe
which was particularly dainty and
delicious. Both the bride and
bridesmaids were dressed in
white while the groom appeared
in black. The groom is one of
Ekalaka's most honorable and
industrious young men, who has
made a host of friends, both in a
business and social way. Mr..
Olsen is at present holding a res
ponsible position in w. H. Peck's S
store where he has proved him
self a worthy employee. The
bride who has lived in Ekalaka
for nearly three years, is not
only a really purity young lady
but is possessed of avery charm
ing disposition and has always
been popular in her large circle
of friends. She is the daughter
of w. w. Terrett, the Miles City
