Are Bound to
Come Westward

Few people realize how great
the impetus our agricultural de-
velopment is receiving from the ex-
tremely favorable weather condi-
tions Of the present spring and
summer in eastern Montana. An
examination Of the entries for
homesteads at the United States
Land Office in this city shows that
the settlers are taking up the
lands in practically solid line
from the borders of the states OF
North and South Dakota and
running westward. This shows
that the settlement is not due. to
the booming Of any particular Sec
ton, but comes because Of the
army of homeseekers pushing
westward. The plentiful and
timely rains of the present season
have produced the best possible
conditions for successful crop year
and the newcomers are not to be
dissepp9in'tted and . discouraged
during the critical first season. !. II
means that those who cslme to, ex-
pertinent will remain and estab-
lish themselves on permanent
basis. It does not settle the ques.
ton, but it is a big lift in the
right direction. Messenger.

A Splendid
Race Record

S. M. Wills, our enthusiastic
race horse man, in company with
r. ID. Skidmore, returned to the
city last week from jamestown
where he completed the North
Dakota race circuit, which con.
sumed the past six weeks, and has
made most excellent showing
among the best horses of that
state.
Mr.. Wills horse, entered in the
Fargo races where he held 4th place
in each heat, while at Casselton,
Courtney, and Darlington he won
first money in every race, which
was Of the 2:3O class. At Fessen-
den, however he got but fourth
money in the 2:22 class m time 2:l8.
In Valley City race Of the same
class he won 3rd money-time
2:18 l-4-and in the last race at
jamestown he carried off second
money time, 2:24.

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several adj
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

Where Sitting Bull Was.

Doane Robinson, head of the depart
ment Of history of the state Of South
Dakota, says of Sitting Bull and the
Custer massacre: THE Indians tell
Inc that Sitting Bull was a medicine
chief; that he was the greatest influ-
once among the Sioux at that time by
reason of his constant agitation
against the whites, and that he did
not personally engage in the fight
against Custer, but that he was back
on an elevation between the Little
Big Horn and the Big Horn making
medicine. Indian School Journal.

The Root of AItruism.

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of justice; that there is moral law
before which all men are equal, so
that ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that l owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle Of free will; that
l can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea of definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.-G. X. Chesterton.

sERMoNETTE.

The good men do lives after
them.
This trlte saying Is ever true.
The recorder of the deeds Of the
Maccabees has this to say of
the record which Judas, who be-
came the leader after the death
of his father, left behind him:
"He gat his people great
honor, and put on breast-plato
as a giant, and grit his warlike
harness about him, and he made
battles, protecting the host
with his sword.
"ln his acts he was like q
lion, like a lions whelp, roaring
for his prey.
"For he pursued the wicked,
and sought them out, and burnt
up those that Vexed his people.
Wherefore the wicked shrunk
from fear of him, and all the
workers of iniqulty were trou-
bled, because salvation pros
pered In his hand.
HE grleved also many kings,
and made Jacob glad with his
acts, and his memorial is blessed
forever.
Moreover, he went through
the cities of Juda, destroying the
ungodIy out of them, and turn
ing away wrath from Israel.
$50 that he was renowned
unto the utmost part of the
earth, and he received unto him
such as were ready to perish"
We find the faith and strength
of character of the man re-
veaIed In his words at the mo-
ment when his small and ILL.,
equipped army was about TO
flee before the overwhelming
hosts Of the enemy. He said:
at Is no hard matter for the
many to be shut up in the hands
OF the few; and with the God
of heaven It ls all one, to de-
liver with a great multitude or
a small company; for the VIC
tory Of battle standeth In the
multitude of the host: but
strength cometh from Heaven.
They come against US In much
pride and Iniqulty TO destroy US,
and our wives and our children,
! and to spoil us. But we fight
for our lives and our laws.
Wherefore the Lord himself
will overthrow them before our
face. And as for you, be ye not
afraid of them"

THE STORY.

TIE WHO would make honorable al
II lance with another must first
prove his own worth.
Judas eyes and thoughts were turn
ing towards great and mighty Rome.
Not because of weakness and fear
of his enemies round about. Far from
it, for had he not repeatedly won vic
tories over those who had risen up
against Israel?
When Mattathias, his father, had
died, the leadership of the people had
fallen upon him, and a great general
and Just ruler he had proved himself
to be. His first great victory had
been over Seron, prince Of the army
of Syria, who with mighty host had
come against him. Then King Anti
ochus, on departure on an expedition
into Persia, left instructions with
Lysias to invade Judea and destroy
Judas. And IIysias had chosen
Ptolomee and Nicanor and Gorgias,
mighty men OF the kings friends, who
organized powerful expedition,
which, when it had come into the
country, Judas had defeated and scat
tered. So it had been when Timotheus
had come against him with the com
bined forces Of the Arabians. And
again when Niehanor had come with
his mighty army, Judas and HIS patri-
OF army not only defeated them but
killed Nichanor.
II can readily be understood how
the fame Of such leader as Judas
should reach imperial Rome, where
