living without selling combination egg

cant be an agent without Fostering
people and woman agent is worse
than a man agent, for she always tries
to work on your sympath with her
children who are crying for bread and
her husband with broken leg and her
grandmother with the blind staggers.
On the other hand, man agent doesn't
talk about his starving children or
about broken legs, but stands at the

about sick grandmothers
There was poor Mrs. Cuppleshaw,
neighbor of mine, whose husband
died in great agony after kicking him
self with horse. She was left with
more children than you could shake a
stick at. and her mother was living
with her. being subject to fits, and also
her husbands sister, who had been an
invalid for forty years and always in
sisting- upon having beef tea and other
delicacies which cost money. Being
left widow under such conditions,
Mrs. CuppleShaw came to ask my ad
vice as to what she should do to pro-
vide for her family.

of the law that induces him to be good
or half as good as he ought to be. We
feel that careful study Of the history
of our race, which shows its constant
Improvement and gradual development
both mentally and morally; warrants
the assertion: Mankinds main object
in view has been to be good, to inn
prove his kind and make this. world a
better place to live in. We have ref
erence to the human race and its prog
resS as whole, through long term OF
years and do not pretend to say that
every person, possessing the human
form, is actuated by the desire to do
right and elevate his race. 1t is on
account of that element of humanity,
which in intelligence. refinement and
development are from one hundred to
a thousand years behind our highest
type of civilization, that the state has
to improvise laws to apprehend and
punish, but which we do not believe
any law will ever make good, We did
not mean to have inferred in our pre-
vious letter. relating to Sunday laws,
that no law was essential for any pur-
pose; but we did mean to most fully
imply that what law was needed on
Sunday was also needed on Monday,
and vice versa; so that by law as
well as by nature every day should be
alike. We did also mean to have in
ferred that law cannot make men NOR
al or change their innate principles
and desires. Correct breeding and ed
ucation are requisite to good men and
women. Criminal law is necessary to
treat with and dispose of that class of
people who either do not know any
better, or are too selfish and mean to
do as they would be done by or to re-
spect the rights of others.
Criminal law should be SO framed

IN THE GAM

Speaker Clark is excited and there is
etery reason why he should be, since
he has discovered that President Taft
understands the game of politics and
is shrewd checkmater of his oppon-
ents in the game.
He stood alone before a designing
congress, and came out with his pop
ularity strengthened and his colors
flying. The Worcester Gazette is right
when it says:
The president came out of that fray
with flying colors. He carries with
him about all the honors won by any
body and he will go into the coming
campaign fortified by those honors
and the boldness to undertake greater
things in the coming campaign.
The president has played politics,
but he played a kind which the Clark
and LaFollette type of politicians are
not used to-the kind which is out in
the open. That is what has made Mr..
Taft strong personally. 1t is what has
created the impression among the peo-
pie that he is ready to be their cham
pion and make a fight for the things
which he deems will be most for their
good. He can fight the campaign to
be ON the same lines which he followed
in the special session without much
fear of either democrats or insurgents
In short, President Taft has made
a reputation. That. by the way. is
something which neither the democrats
nor insurgents have to- date made much
Roadway in accomplishing"

GETTING NEARER CENTER OF
POPULATION.

New York has just lost big indus
try to Chicago; and it is possible that
New York, which can afford to lose in
dustries, is seeing them slip away to
other parts every now and then. A
despatch from Chicago says: The
west has cut further into the business
supremacy of the east by the removal
from New York to Chicago of the en-
tire auditing department of the Wells
Fargo Express company. Five special
trains, carrying 1000 employees of the
company, their families baggage and
household effects. are due in Chicago
from Gotham September 10. There
Will be at least 5000 persons in the

jections upon the part of the en-
ployes, and many native sons of New

ing with horror upon the idea of leay-

appear and the company officials ex-
pect to have their entire clerical force

PREPARING TO FREIGHT MAIL.


General Hitehcock's idea that consid-
cradle mail matter can as we'll be
freighted as to be distributed by the
more expensive methods, is creating
wide. interest in all parts of the
country. The weighing in of
the mails was begun at Chicago
on September l on all the principal
mail routes centering there 1t is an
nounced that this action is made nee
essary By the decision of Postmaster
General Hitchcock to ship the larger
part of the second class mail, what is
known to postal employees as blue-tag
matter. by freight instead Of in mail
cars. beginning on this date AS the
rate of payment of the transportation
lines for carrying mail for the next
four years is ased upon the results
of the official weighing. there would
be no saving to the postoffice depart
ment from the method of shipping
magazines by freight if the figures
arrived at in the recent weighing test
were used. The only legal way of get
ting new basis of payment appar-
emily is to repeat the whole tedious
process of weight taking for another
los days on the routes affected by the
new order The railroads have offered
no objection to the postmaster gener-
ais proposal to handle second class
matter by freight, but it is pointed
out by some of the officials that as
second class matter comprises about
81 per cent. of all mail, according to
the figures of the postal authorities it
will be, impossible for the roads to OPP
crate, the present number of fast mail
trains on the proceeds of the small
volume of business that is still to be
carried in regular mail cars. Unless
the rates of pay which they receive
are greatly increased they declare that
IL will be necessary to cut off some of
the fast mail trains and otherwise to
decrease the extent of the railway mail
service. Under the present system, the
railway men assert, the roads lose in
the aggregate nearly $40, 100000 year

GA little girl asked her mother:
Mamma, why don't God kill the
DeviI?" | have often wished to know
the answer to this question; can you
answer it?
Answer.-The Scriptures assure us
that God has the power to destroy
Satan, that old Serpent, the Devil, and
that in due time he will do SO. (See
Genesis iii. Is; Romans xvi. 20: He
brews ii, 40 Satan was the first to do
evil and he has seduced both men and
angels from the path of righteousness.
The baneful effects of sin can best be
learned by experience, hence God is
permitting the Devil to carry his evil
ways to the limit. Those who profit
by the experience will hate iniquity
and love righteousness and will be
rewarded with eternal life. All others,
with the Devil will be destroyed. Sa-
tan thinks he is thwarting Gods prog
ress, but God is overruling the effects
of Satans course For instance. the
church has been subjected to many
trials and much circulation by reason
of Satan's efforts, but the Lord assures
US that these fiery trials of the
Christian will work out for them a far
more exceeding weight of eternal
glory"

Lively Bout; j;
Fans Pleased
Two Well Known Lightweights Ap-
peared Here Last Saturday Eve.
in Very Satisfactory Exhibition
(By G.. f. LANGBEIN)

The fight fans of Beach who at
tended the boxing match at the
opera house Saturday night were
given a treat to be remembred.
The contestants were Billy Morse,
of Miles City, and Bob Skyles, of
Bowman-two fast lightweights.
Although Morse was picked by
everyone to be an easy winner,
Skyles rushed the fighting and
seemed to have the best of the
argument for the first three
rounds, getting in a number of
good blows through Morse's al
most impenetrable guard. Morse,
however. seemed to know his op-
ponent's weakness and let him
tire out. ~
The fourth round started fast
and furious, both men getting in
some good clouts, but a solar:
plexus blow and swing to the
jaw, proved too much for the
Bowman fighter. He showed his
gaHleLeSS, InOugn,geltlng upHthfee
times, only to be laid out for the
count the last time.
Morse was in fine training.
while his opponent was winded
after each round.
Skyles has the build of a fighter
and would, doubtless, be good
man with a little more training.
w. F. Heffron, representative of
the Rumley people in this district,
was referee. Art Wood acted as
second for Skyles and a fellow
from Glendive for Morse.
Billy Frost. through S. A.
Smith, challenged the winner,
but we have been unable to learn
whether or not the challenge was
accepted.
