SQUARE DEAL FOR SETTLERS.

An earnest plea for a square deal"
and more liberal treatment for settlers
in Montana aud other western states
was made in congress recently by
Senator Carter, who compared the ad-
ministration of public land m atters in
Canada with the system that has been
adopted on this side of the inter.
national boundary. In the course OF
his remarks the Montana senator made
this instructive statement OF the stu.

LEST WE FORGET

An Illinois has kept the dead body of his wife in
closet in his home for eight years. The fact just dis
covered the other day
To remind him of the being that lived and breatled
at his side he kept the framework of dust that had
been the abiding place of the spirit long gone to meet
its Maker.
There are those who will readily pronounce Judgment
of insanity upon this man.
Maybe he is insane It is difficult to imagine man s
spending eight years in the presence of body that had
once been his beloved wife, and remain rational.
But his is unique because it showed us to what
extremes mourning may be carried.
Most people believe that society will be horribly
dalized unless the relatives and friends of departed
being plunge themselves into the deepest black and dark
est secusion.
'They' say that during the ''mourning'' period all
frivolous amusements should be strictly tabooed. We
should do nothing which might smile of pleasure
to pass over our faces.
In other countries mourners wear white and touch of
black added to their attire would certainly be seized upon
ndsputabe evidence that the dead had been for
gotten already.
Some African tribes mutlate their bodies when
dearly loved dies African society would turn the
finger of sco at the widow who did not scourge her body
during the proper mourning period
In India, up till few years ago, the devoted wife
assembled the funeral pyre of her dead husband and

to ashes

Wonderful Results
DENTAL WORK
THAT l. ASTS
Prices That All Can Afford
to Pay

The Red Cross Dentists
have been established in this
city for only six months, and
yet in that time they have
demonstrated beyond a pos
sibility of a doubt that the
best dentistry at the lowest
prices is the proposition
that the people appreciate.
When they told the people
that they would make the
very best ok. solid gold
crown for $3.50, and the very
best rubber plate for $3.50,
the public could not under
stand how such a thing could
be done. They were accus-
toned to pay So to $40 for
the best gold crown and $15
to 500 for the best plates,
and they could not realize
that dental work could be
done for less. The Red Cross
Dentists, however, have
proven that the highest class
of work was not necessarily
the most expensive. They
have built up a practice, the
largest in the city, on the
proposition that the best
work at the lowest prices,
with an absolutely bona fide,
written guarantee is what
the people want. All the den
fists in this office are gradu-
ate, licensed and competent.
They employ no cheap labor
atory boys to do their work.
They look for their profits
from the volume of business
and careful attention to all
details. Their office is off
Riverside avenue, and what
they save in rent over equal
space on the main thorough
fare, their pss;saHSp save on
their dental bill. This is only
ssse item of saving, however.
There is no extra money tied
up in elaborate furnishings,
which the patient ultimately
pays for, but they have all
the equipment that is neces-
sary in a first class dental
office. Those wishing to save
money on their dental bill
and at the same time be as
sured of the highest grade of
dental services, would do
well to call at their offices,

Fables of Convention


A Misguided Man once took it in
to his head to speak to the folks
he met on the street.
This Misguided Man had a habit
of walking down town of mornings
He did this primarily because it
brought him a five-cent dividend
from the traction company every
day. Why the Misguided Man was
possessed by the idiotic idea Of en-
livening this morning jaunt by
speaking to people to whom he had
never been introduced, doth not ap-
pear. 1t is known that the man
had a liver that functioned in an
amazing way.
Be that as it may, he began to
say, Good morning" quite pleas
antly and impartially to the lady of
the purple plumes and the blear-
eyed poodle, and to the lady with
the little toy express wagon and
the enormous wicker basket.
1t seemed to make no difference
to the Misguided Man that the lady
of the plumes was walking before
breakfast, whereas the lady with
the basket was walking after break
fast. He did not hold it against the
plumed lady mat she took break
fast SO late; he spoke to her full
as pleasantly as he did to the wash
erwoman who took her breakfast
early.
Also he spoke pleasantly to other
peaple.
A few very young children an
swered him in the spirit of his sal
utation.
The washerwoman, when he first
addressed her, looked at him more
in surprise than anger, and trun-
died her wagon on without word.
When he first addressed the plumed
lady she looked at him more in an
ger than surprise, If possible-and
she too passed on without word.
This third time he thus address , d
the washerwoman, she ventured q
timid smile of fellOwfeeling.

The crooked lane
Shall be in vain.

A sign arises that threatens
disturbances of earth and air
in many parts Of the world in
the coming period.
There is an omen for the
United States of great notional
excitement and struggles be-
tween classes.
Venus governs favorabiy for
women, promising fortune in
all their undertakings, and es-
pecially SO in shopping, dress
and household affairs.
Jupiter is bright for business,
both for employers and en-
ployees.
There is sign warning
against duplicity and misIead-
ing statements, even though
the end to be gained is good.
The Sun enters sign that is
held by astroIogers to cause
spiritual atmosphere in which
noble and worthy impulses
strive with ignoble ones, both
exercising almost equal power.
Therefore in these "a hours It
will be necessary to control the
passions absolutely, avoid
temptation and determine thor
oughIy to be guided and ruled
only by high principle.
Women inclined to filtration,
however innocent, are said tc
be strongly afflicted in these
signs. The same holds true Of
men who incline to dissipation.
All persons should avoid any
tendency toward going to ex-
tremes, and especially an i'm
pulse to go from one extreme to
the other.
Optimistic persons, especial
ly if disincIined to steady and
patient work, will be likely to
lend a ready and creduIous ear
to speculative schemes in this
twenty-four hour period.
Travel, either for business
or pleasure, should be success
full.
The time is indicated as ex-
cellent for engaging men or
women for any purpose.
In the household the indica-
tons are good for fowls.
Persons with this birth-date
are subjects of the cusp of Ger
mini-Cancer. The influence in
toward self-wilI and strong
opinions, ofen exaggerated into
unreasoning prejudice, but very
useful If controlled by refIec-
tions and judgment.
Children born today are like
Iy to benefit by training that
will teach them to control their
appetites, concentrate patiently
on one thing at time, and
avoid idle companions.
