There were few persons who knew
the Locke family even in a casual way

Locke was in the habit Of nagging her
husband and children. She loved them
dearly, but at times nobody would have

a Queer DIAGNOSIS.

A celebrated Dublin physician was
Sir Dominic Corrigan, who was as
much famed for his brusqueness to-
ward patients as for his skill. In the
course Of some "reminiscences William
Charles scully told a story Of the doc
tor which is quite well worth quoting.
II was taken to see him." says the
writer, several times, but he always
treated me with the utmost kindness.
However, q highly respectable maiden
aunt Of mine had a different expert
ence. She went to consult him. After
sounding her-none too gently-and
asking a few questions he gave a
grunt and relapsed into silence. Then
after a short pause Of meditation he
said, We'll, ma'am, it's one Of two
things-either you drink or else you
sit with your back to the fire."

Oh child New Year, whom the mantle falls
OF the departing year, who leaves to thee,
The labors, tasks, the duties and the calls
Which the heirlooms of the past, to be
A precious trust the heritage of time.
How will thou face the future all alone?
How front the foes of sin, and vice. and crime,
Which muster round with force and might I'M

Take courage, child of time, be not dismayed,
Equip thyself with faith and hope and love-
And seek for strength and wisdom from above;
With these to help thee, be afraid.
Go forth with gladness thine untrod way,
And strength will come to thee from day to day.

MONTANA A
GREAT STATE,

The homeseeker VINO comes to
Montana has many advantages
He has the soil. the climate, tn e
markets, the western style Of
doing things-which, with indus
try and care, are bound to bring
him independence. People who
live on a Montana farm are hap
py and healthy-and it is thier own
fault if they do not become veal
thy. They are free and energy
work for them, instead Of boss.
1t doesn't cost much to investi-
gate Montana coditions, resources
and opportunities; and the
investigation may be made most
searching, without detriment to
the state. At this time of the
year all railroads are offering
special rates to homeseekers.
Montana is rich in every indus
try save manufacturing, and Of
fer> opportunities in extensive
lines of endeaver. In the year
1909 it produced $113. 10000 in
wealth. Montana has an area of
146. 572 square miles, and a pop
ulation less than 100000. No
other state in the Union offers a
greater diversity of resources for
the investor and homeseeker-no
other state in the Union holds so
many unequalled opportunities
and So much wealth yet to be
gathered by men of intelligence
and industry.
