A Verse For the Week

How littlei it costs, if we give it tbsdght,
 >yTo make happy some heart each day. Just one kind, work or a tender smile, As we go on our daily way. Perchance a look will suffice to clear The cloud from a neigh bor's face, And the press of hand of sympathy Will a sorrowful tear efface.

 There should De a flower garden on every home estate. But it should not be a round bed ill the front door yard. A certain portion of the yard, preferably near the rear bordor and as a part of f.. should be set aside for this distinct purpose. Here both perennials and annta1s should be grown, but it will Ne found that, in the long run, perenniais are, by far, the least costly of maintenance and are more satisfactory in every way.

turbed during the past week, due to
the bad conduct Of some of our young
ladies under the age of 90. The white

as we think more of you, but We trust
those young ladies will not make the
same mistake twice. There were three
colored men implicated and Judge Nc

PASSING OF THE VETERINARY.
Few Young Men Are Joining the
Ranks of This Profession.

In times of epidemic among cattle
the veterinary surgeon is invaluable.
His general field of work, however, IL
limited to-day, because of the preya-
lence of automobiles, and few young
men seeking profession Join the vet
Urinary ranks.
While there is much work for vet
Urinary to do among invalid dogs,
cats, COWS and other domestic pets,
the subject of his most careful study
and most remuneratiye work is the
horse.
Horses, so valuable and necessary,
are watched devotedly for the slightest
sign of indisposition The wife may
cough unpleasantly for a week be-
fore the doctor is sent for, but the vet
Urinary will hurriedly answer the
frantic summons of her husband If his
horse shows the slightest symptoms
of cold. And the gradual disap-
pearance of the horse robs the Eeter-
mary of his chief source of income.
Many of the profession who foresee the
continual decrease of their horse pa

MAY LOSE THEIR HOMES.
People Who Settled on Mineral Lands
Must Give Way TO Uncle Sam.

Washington of home
steaders in North Dakota and other
public land states are in danger of
losing their homesteads and all i'm
provements upon them, by the with
drawal of the Ignite coal lands by
the government, and their classified
ton as mineral lands. Timothy ].
Butler of the legal department of the
government land Office, in an address
to the conservation conference here
recently, declared that the land-de-
partment has now fully 5000 cases be-
fore it in which homesteaders are I'M
able to complete final proof and re-
ceive patents to their homesteads, be-
cause their farms have been classified
as coal lands
Congressman Thomas R. Marshall
of North Dakota has put a bill into
the house to correct the situation, and
give relief to these settlers, and it is
believed this measure, if it passes,
will save to Dakota. Montana. Wyom-
ing and New Mexico settlers their
farms, although it will acknowledge
the governments ownership of the
coal which may underlie their prop
erty.
The Ignite coal fields have been
withdrawn from entry as public agri-
cultural lands as a result of the In
vestigations made by the experts of
the geological survey. In many of
the most fertile agricultural sections
of North Dakota. the experts found
evidences of rich deposits of Ignite,
and the lands were Immediately clas-
sified as coal lands.

THEY GROW TALL IN MONTANA.
combInsd Height of Ten Members Of
One Family Nearly Sixty Feet.

Helena, Mont.-A singular rivalry
has arisen between two Montana
towns as to which possesses the tall
est family. Libby, in Flathead counA
ty, processes to have more tall people
than any town of its size on the con-
tinent.
Ten members of one family have q
combined height of almost sixty feet.
The father weighs 215 pounds and II
six feet 25S inches tall. The mother
weighs 225 pounds and Is i've feet SIX
inches tall. The children size UP as
follows: First son, six feet 21a inches
tall, age II years; second son, six
feet four inches, age 10 years; first
daughter. five feet eight inches tall,
age IT; third son, six feet four inches,
age 10 years; fourth son, five feet ten
inches, age IA years; fifth son, i've
feet age IL years; second daughter,
four feet two inches, age nine yearsl
sixth son, three feet ten inches, age
four years. The head of this proud
family is Herman Bockman.
Red Lodge takes exception to Lib.
by's claim to the supremacy and calls
attention to the fact that in that city
four members of one family are taller
than any four members of the Book
man family. W. A. Talmage aud his
three sons are probably the tallest Of

planet ont Beyond Neptune2

Cambridge, Mass.-The possibility
of a planet outside of Neptune, which
since its discovery in 1S47, has been
considered the outermost body of the
solar system, is indicated as the result
of calculations at the Harvard obsery-
atory of certain irregularities in the
orbit of Neptune. The officials of the
observatory do not contend that they
have discovered the presence of such
a body, but say that such a planet
would cause perturbations such as
have been found.
