men in the state. After passing
around the cigars the General asked
what was on tap. "We were just be-
ginning to talk religion when you
came in" said Bro. Keith. "Well it
won't hurt you boys, you may need a
a little; but say, did you ever hear of
the famous Bitter Root Valley over
in Montana" said the General hand
ing out fresh cigars. cts a second

smile that brought the General back
to Dakota and remarked that he

The editor suggested a little more
religion as Brother Wolgemuth hand
ed out fresh cigars, but Bro. Keith
said he had a supper engagement with
President Lewis and the General said
a like pleasure awaited him at the
home Of President Rudolph, and two
OF the best men in the state went
