Judge Knowles was born at Ham.

The Handicap Of The Crouch.

The man who goes through the
world with q crouch, who is always
watching for an opportunity to "get
square" with somebody whom he
thinks has done him an injury, is at
q great disadvantage, says Orison
S. Marden in Success Magazine. The
desire for revenge acts in the system
like a leaven of poison, Gripping the
brain power and inducing unhappi-
ness. No one al do his best when
he has an unkind feeling or resent
ment inehis heart toward bis fellow
men.
We are always prejudiced against
those who have the reputation OF be.
ing grouchy, Of who are of q suspi.
cious disposition. These people make
very few friends and are not good
mixers" They often live lonely
and sometimes totally isolated lives
especially as they advance in years.
No employer wants such people
around him. he knows they are not
business.getters or friend.makers; on
the contr ary, they frequently drive
away customers and make trouble
among the other employees. Every.
body wants to GET away from the
cranky, fault-anding, o%ver.critical
person. We do not like people who
are ont of tnne with tho wor1d thov
live In.

Notice has been received At tho
various land Offices in Montana that
q law passed by congress in Februarv
permits second homestead and desert
entries under certain conditions. I.
provides that settlers who lost, aban.
doned or relinquished homestead or
desert entries prior to Feb. 3 last.
are allowed to make new homestead

The provisions Of the new law are
to this effect:
Any person who, prior to approval
Of this act, has made entry under the

who, subsequent to such entry, from
any cause. shall have lost, forfeited

titled to the benefits Of the homestead
or desert land laws ~ though such
former entries had not been made, and
any person applying for the second
homestead or desert land entry under
this act shall furnish q description

STE BOSS U L

Notwithstanding the failure of the
Twelfth assembly to enact . direct
primary law, ss promised by the party
platforms Of each and every member
Of that legislative agency, q measure
Of that kind will probably be added to
the Montana statutes before the next
assembly convenes. The popular de.
termination to destroy boss and cor.
poration rule In Montana politics will
bear fruit In the enactment Of q direct
primary law.
Recent advices from western Mon
tana report an organized movement
to ecure direct primary legislation
by the initiative method. Under this
plan it is necessary to frame q meas.
ure that will be acceptable to a GER
tain percentage of the voters, whose
signatures must be attached 20 q petit
ton requesting that the enactment of
the proposed law be submitted TO
popular vote at the next general cleo.
ton. If the necessary prelimina aries
q be satisfactorily arranged, the
question must be presented on a sep.
srate ballot at that time, and q ma
iority vote in It's favor will make the
measure q Montana law.
It 10 q somewhat complicated method
OF securing desired legislation, and It
would not be necessary to resort to it
unless legislative assemblies were rec
reant to their trust and false to their
promises. The success Of the move.
ment is unquestioned, but the popular
enactment of q direct primary law at
the next general election, by the mi.
II ative plan, would not give il practi.
cal effect until two years later.
The machine politicians of each
party are not in favor of the initiative
plan of legislation, and "view with
alarm" the proposition to enact q
direct primary law in that way. En-
forts are being made to induce Gov.
ernor Norris to call a special session
of the legislature to deal with the sub
ject, in preference to submitting q di.
rect primary measure to popular vote,
and it Is possible that arrangements
with this end in view may be made.
In any event, the progressive citi.
zens Of Montana have become tired of
political juggling with the direct pri-
mary question, and propose to have
it settled by legislative action or
through the initiative. Should q spe.
cial session of the Legislature be
called, and an uns satisfactory measure
be passed by the assembly, recourse
could still be had to the popular cleo.

Had a Wonderful Memory,

At a little dinner the other night the
assertion was made that the negro race
had longer memories than white folk.
Ex-Governor Bum, who was present,
agreed with the remark and to prove 1t
told the following:
Some years ago, when south, I
met an old colored man, who claimed
to have known George Washington.
I asked him whether he was In the
boat when George w ashington crossed
the Delaware. and he Instantly replied:
'Lor' masss, I steered dat boat
We'll said I, do you remember
when George took the hack at the
cherry tree?' He looked worried for
. minute, and then, with q beautiful
smile. said: why, sush. massa,
