STRANGE WILL
OF A LAWYER

The following remarkable will was
written by Il lawyer in Chicago. He
had lost all his worldly possessions,
and was considered insane when the
will was written, but the evidence of
brilliant mind is manifest in the
beautiful language employed:
II. Charles I.ounsberry, being of
sound and disposing mind and MEM
DRY. do hereby makeand publish this,
my last will and testament, in order.

same time against thistles and the
thorns. And devise to children the
banks of the brooks and the golden
sands beneath the waters thereof.

In an interview with representa-
tive of the Lewstown Daily News
concerning the proposed third party
movement. Judge Cheadle said:
''In my Judgment it is unwise to
attempt to establish third party in
Montana at the present time. / be-
ieve majority of the electors Of
Montana, irrespective of party, can be
classed rs prOgressives. In the re-
prblcan partya majority of the vot-
ers are doubtless progressive. There
may be a re-alignment of political
parties in Montana before another
presidential election, but it will not
occur this fall.
~ believe it wise for the progress
sive repub Iicans of this state to STAY
III the republican party and work in
side the party and through it's organ
ization, for the promotion of their
political ideas. Shall not Join a
third party movement. but shall con-
tinue to do all | can to support and
republicanism within the party.
The proposed new party is likely
to draw its support chiefly from the
republican party. and thus secure
the dcfeat of both. \ new party
can be successfully founded only up
on political principles which cannot
nave effective support by amy other
means than the establishment of a
new party. SO far as Montana is con-
cerned, believe that the principles
which progressive republicans are
contending for can and will obtain
support, in large measure at least.
from the republican party, and in my
view it would be very unwise to take
action which would probably result
in the defeat and wrecking Of the par.
ty, because of some disappointment
which the progressives have su-
stained.
1.-The vote Of Montana in the e]ec-
toral college is Of less Importance to
the people Of this state than many
other things. in any event. We have
great state to develop, and it is OF
the first Importance to us that it's
government should be administered
by competent hands. The develop
ment OF our agricultural lands and
mines, the proper use and conserva-
ton OF our forests and other natural
resources, are of far more moment
than partisan political advantage.

That day You finished it so long ago.
And looked upon Your work and called it good

That's sfted down through tinted window panes:
And yet seem to feel You near tonight.
In this dim, quiet starlight on the plains.
l thank You Lord that I am placed so we'll;
That You have made my freedom SO complete;
That I'm no slave of whistle. clock and bell
Or weak eyed prisoner of the wall and street.
Just let me live the life that I've begun:
Give me work open as the sky:
Make me pardner of the wind and sun.
And won't ask a life that's soft or high
Let me he easy on the man that's down;
Make me square and generous witt. all:
I'm careless sometimes Lord when I'm i'll town.
But never let 'ein say I'm mean small
Make me big and open the plains;
As honest as the horse between my knees;
Clean the wind that blows behind the rains;
Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze.
Forgive me Lord. when sometimes l forget!
You understand the reasons that are hid:
You know about the things that gall and fret:
You know me better than my mother did
Just keep an eye all that's done and said:
And guide me on the long. dim trail ahead

WORLDS Smallest Armies,

If ever the dream of the disarma.
ment Of the world shall be realized
there are several countries that would
not have much to do in this line, as,
for instance, Monaco, whose army con-
sfsts Of IS guards, Is carabineers and
20 firemen. The next smallest army is
that of Luxembourg, with 1876 gen.
darmes, 40 volunteers and 30 must.
clans. In the Republic Of San Marine
they can put in the field a total of
nine companies of $50 men and 50 Of
ficers, commanded by marshal. The
army on peace footing consists of
one company of 60 men. The most
amusing of all the armies" how
ever, is that Of Liberia. That coun-
try's fighting force is composed Of TOO
men and 800 officers; but the latter
are evidently deemed very terrible by
their own government, since the re-
public. issues proclamations of neu-
trality when wars break out between
any of the powers.

Prize Steers Not Good Meat.

The meat of more than one prize
steer has proved disappointing in the
eating, though fine to look at. In the
development of the animal for compe-
ution his flesh is sometimes, If not
always, scanned with small veins Of
tat which are dilated by cooking into
tough strings. Hence, the range-fed
steer, not nursed into prominence, at
fords the better steak or roast.
