The control of children depends
on two things: first, the under
standing OF the individual child!
second, absolute fairness on the
part of the person exercising con-
troll. No two children are alike
and the only really successful gov
ernor is the one who has a real in
sight into the child's nature. The
child that is bad is not to be treat
ed like the child that is weak
The child that is merely overflow
ing with animal spirits differs
from both Of them. Each of these
three classes Of children need en-.
tirely different treatment. The
old fashioned teacher who used
to boast that she treated her child
rem alike was most decidedly on
the wrong track. More children
can be managed by praise than
by blame. Too many teachers
never notice the good things but
comment severely on the bad.
The bad thing is only thing that
is really noticed. MANY a disor-
derby boy or girl has been redeem
ed by a teacher who was willing
to look for the good.

On Friday the sad news of the
death of her sister.in law, Mrs
Binter, of Maryville, Missouri
reached Sister M. Clara. She was
requested to 60 at once and as
the east bound passenger had left
she drove to Lesterville where
she boarded the train for Mary
Vile. Sister Clara has not yet re-
turned but we expect her at any
time.
The teachers meeting which
was held here on Saturday was en-
joyed by all. Mr.. j. v. Wagner
honored US by his presence, Miss
Scott and Mr.. Regan of Lack An.
des were also present. Many
of the older pupils were also priv
legged to be present. This was an
opportunity for the youngs folks
to learn a good many useful and
beneficial lessons. and they zeal
ously took advantage OF the occa-
sion.
This week Miss Anna Wagner
has been playing the school

few hours of good solid fun on
Monday and Tuesday evening. tor

may be so for boys need mathe-

ing it in full. The following brief
excerps give an idea of the trend of
this fine Grafton:
There may be those who think that
only a Scotchinan should presume to
eulogize Burns and his work. For
the benefit of such, if there be any
here tonight, l would say that my
mother was as Scotch as any of Gala
donia's daughters, for she barely es-
capped being born in Scotland, where
all of her older brothers and sisters
were born, SO that l have some right
to speak of Burns from the stand
point of Scotchman, notwithstand-
ing that my name would indicate a
different descent.
But, aside from that, Burns was
Natures poet, and as such he was a
world poet, as much SO as Shake
speare or amy of the great poets. Scot
land may, indeed. proudly claim his
birthplace, but all the peoples of the
world may rightly claim his as their
own. No man who apprecites true
poetry Or sweet song, whatever his
nationality, need offer any apology
for speaking praise OF the poetry and
song of him whom we have met to
honor-the man whose birthday
brings to our minds sweeter thoughts
and to our hearts tenderer emotions.
Men and women no longer follow
literature as profession OF love, and
because they have a message for the
people and long to contribute their
mite to the cause of humanity, with
the money to be obtained from their
work as secondary consideration,
but simply for the gold that can be
made out Of it; and writers OF every
class vie with each other in striving
to drive the best bargain for the chill
dren Of their brains-children too
often wearings the Scarlet letter." at
that; and how often do we see pub
liShed statements as to how much per
word certain piece of literary work
brought, creating a new record" as
though such things were to be COM
pared with records made upon the
athletic field or the race track. And
what is true Of the literary worker is
quite as true Of the painter, the
sculptor, the actor, the artist in every
branch.
Men no longer aspire to public
office, or other form OF public SER
vice, as patriotic duty, but they
struggle for them for the salary
which the office or the service pays
: and too often for the opportunities
which it affords ior illegitimate gain
besides-its opportunities for graft.
1t is true that Burns lived and died
before this insane desire had scarcely
begun to manifest itself. but it is not
to be doubted that his ideals were sc
high above all such as to be not sus
ceptible of contamination; and that
if he were alive today, surrounded a.
he necessarily would be, by all thu
baneful influences OF the times. hi.

THOMPSON FAVORS
new COUNTY Plan
FERGUS COUNTY REPRESENT
ATIVE GOES ON RECORD
AT ROUNDUP.

That the people of Roundup are
going right after the county segrega-
ton business in earnest was shown
by the enthusiastic meeting whcih was
held at the coal camp last Monday
evening. Committees were appointed
and addresses were made by a num-
Der of boosters. including the Hon.
R. B. Thompson, member of the leg
islature from Fergus county.
The following account of Mr..
Thompson's attitude is taken from the
Roundup Record:
Hon. R. B. Thompson, who, as rep
resentative from Fergus county, and
member of the committee on towns
and counties, SO bitterly fought the
measure at every turn last winter, ad-
dressed the meeting. He said that
with the wonderful development this
section had undergone the past two
the new county should now be Great
ed Although opposed to it year
ago, he expressed himself as being
heartily in favor of the proposition
and has withdrawn all opposition
That the measure will carry at the
next session is the firm belief of Mr.
Thompson. He paid a glowing tribute
to his opponents for the strenuous
manner in which the fight was con-
Quoted last winter, His line of talk
wa distinct surprise in view of his
former antagonistic feeling toward
the proposed division.
| Dan w. Slayton, the well-known
sheepman, showed where he stood in
a short talk. He declared that the
residents of Lavina country were in
favor of county division. and were
reday to render amy assistance they
could with that object in view. That
considerable diplomacy in establishing
the lines of the new county should be
exercised was one of Mr.. Slayton's
arguments.

Pacific"
This is the statement credited to a
prominent St. Paul official of the road
mentioned.
The Northern Pacific is wide awake
and up on it's toes! Its directors and
officers realize that if they are to hold
this territory from the encroachment
of the Puget Sound road and the 500
line, they will have to get busy.
At the present time there are two
corps of engineers at work between
Glendive and Jordan. One outfit is
camped near Billy Woods place; an
other is at Stone Shack Engineer
Yeager is in charge.
The Review has been unable to see
any of these people, but there is a
very definite rumor in circulation to
the effect that the next move OF the
N. p. will be to build line from
here to jordan, or perhaps heading
in south of there.
Two years ago the Review prophe-
sled that the Northern Pacific would
one day-not far distant-build line
from Glendive almost directly across
Montana, thereby saving about zoo
miles in its run to the coast In these
days of strenuous competition every
mile counts.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
present projected line westward across
Dawson county is the initial move in
that direction; that such line would
eventually run to Lewistown, tapping
rich country which the N. p. does
not reach at present, and thence
across the state to Missoula.
The Review received a pretty
straight tip the other day that the
Puget Sound has its eyes on all this
| Dawson county territory, and that a
branch line to Glendive is almost a
certainty. The 500 line has also been
active north and northeast of here for
many months past.
Work is progressing on the new
railroad bridge across the Yellow
stone. Before fall trains will be
running into Glendive on the Mis-
souri, river road.
These railroad developments will
mean good times for Glendive

ent of Montana Farmers Institutes
Professor Shaw is one of the
strongest and best known agricultural
lecturers in America at the present
time. His career may be briefly
summed up as follows: For Is years
he earned his livelihood on the farm.
He was called from the farm to the
professorship of agriculture in Guelph,
Ontario, in 1885, In 1893 he began a
l2-year term as professor OF llus-
bandry at the Minnesota university.
He excrted wonderful influence in
the building up OF agricultural educa-
ton in the university and over the
state, and resigned in 1905 to devote
his time to important Investigations.
He has been editor of the St. Paul
Farmer, Orange Judd Farmer and is
at present associate editor of the Da-
kota Farmer.

and valuable Among them are:
Weeds and How to Eradicate
Them; The Study Of the Breeds
Animal Breeding; Feeding Farm Ami
mails; Management and Feeding oil
Cattle; Forage Crops Other Than
Grass; Soiling Crops and the Silo
Clovers and How to Grow Them

iron PIPE REQUIRED
Numerous Leaks in Wooden Water
Mains About City Cause of Great
Loss and Fire Danger.

Although the city of Lewistown has
eighty thousand dollars invested in
water system, not counting the many
thousands which have been spent dur
ing the last five or six years in max
ing repairs, the city has no water sys-
tenn worth mentioning Under pres
ent conditions, the main travelled
thoroughfares of the city are being
continually torn UP to enable the au-
thoritics to make needed repairs in
'busted" pipes, and as result of num-
crous leaks which do not show on the
surface, the pressure and volume OF
water in certain parts of the city are
so low that scores of property own
ers are practically without fire pro-
lection.
Something Should Be Done.
1t is highly imperative that some
thing be done to remedy this state or
affairs. The gravity line is in fairly
good condition but very large per-
centage of the water is lost after leav-
ing the reservoir in the old mains.
It will cost money to replace these
mains with iron pipes but this money
will have to be raised soon and the
more quickly the council and citizens
generally get busy the more quickly
will Lewistown have a water system
worthy of the name.
