Needed q Sea Turn.

Captain Lane had retired from active
pursuit Of his beloved calling and had
turned his attention to town affairs.
Having succeeded in rousing the citi-
zens to the need Of a drinking fountain
and also to the need of two coats Of
paint on the town hall, Captain Lane
felt himself a valued and important
person.
One day he was asked by a %sojourn-
er in the town to give his opinion OF
the present administration.

slowly. "Of course there's things that
could be different and would be better

600 acres of land belonging to the
state we're reclassihed last year. The
cost per acre of the classification was
two cents. 1t is said to be the largest
job of appraisement ever undertaken
in this country and certainly In Mon.

While none of the land can be sold
for lees than 90 an acre, there being
q constitutional provision to this ef-
feet, some Of it is appraised as low as
81 so, ranging as high as $3.50 an acre
for particularly choice tracts. A great
portion is appraised at from % to Sl5
per acre and another great body Of 1t
at from $40 to $50 an acre, this being
fret class agricultural land. The
prices put on this land will prevail
only until the state board of land

Writing in the Success Magazine
several years ago, Andrew Carnegie
told the ambitious young men how to
get rich. On many occasions within
later years, the steel king has given
out big punches of advice gratuitous.
ly. all calculated to impress the as.
piring young men with the correct
idea of acquiring wealth. Other
wealthy men have doled out similar
advice.
A wealthy man, particularly IL he
be q retired business man, is in q posi-.
ton to give pointers on how to ge,
rich. BE has had some experience
along the lines of accommodating gold
and he ought to know something OF
the methods of obtaining it.
Frederick Weyerhsuser, one OF the
richest men in the country, tells us
how to get rich. He says: I'M axe
up your mind to work ct something
really worthy of work and work hard.
The surest way to make money is te
cave money and use what you save

To teach children habits Of neatness.
system and order is to insure some de-
gree, at least, Of success. Yet they
are often brought up amid disorder
and confusion, allowed to throw things
down Just where they use them and to
form slovenly and slipshod habits.
They are not taught to put things
where they belong, and consequently
they grow up shackled with handi-
caps which they car rarely throw off.
If there is any delusion in the world
it is that doing "things just for now"
dropping things wherever n may
happen to be temporarily. saves time.
On the contrary. this is great time
waster and a great demoralizer Of
character. A bad habit not only tends
to repeat itself. but to increase the
tendency in that direction.

full lesson Of orderliness in your youth.

The Two. Rule.

For f%ourscore years, with now and
then q brief interruption, the demo.
cratic party has been selecting it's
candid ates for president and vice pres
ident by a vote OF two-thirds of the
delegates in convention assembled,
says Willis j. Abbot in the issue of
Harper's Weekly for January 6. In
the convention of 1912 this rule is
ure to be questioned, and future con
ventions this author thinks, will re
turn to the principle of nominatio,
by q majority alone. The question
has been propounded to q number o
democratic leaders, with the result
that opinions are nearly evenly divid
ed. The views of these leaders ar
given at length in this article.

SPEAKING Ennush.

Almost any one who speaks ENGLISH
might be put down successfully in
half a dozen places where English is
supposed to be the mother tongue and
hear as many dialects spoken, not one
Of which he would understand until it
was interpreted. An old Lancashire
worthy and u London lady were one
day occupants Of a railway carriage.
The train had been waiting long at a
certain station, and there was no ap-
pearance of 1t starting when the
worthy remarked:
They're a gly. tanglesome lot here"
II beg your pardon" said the lady.
"I'm sayin' they're a gey daidlin' lot
here"
II really beg your pardon. Sir"
I'm observin' they are a vera dreich

A Correction,


In q town Of such size that every
one knows every one else it is often
customary to speak of people by their
first names, even when one would not
do so to their faces. The butcher Is
known as Joe Smith, the grocer as
Frank Parsons, the lawyer as Win An
drews, and no offense Is meant OF
taken. One day a friend was helping
a teacher of the industrial school to
put hats and coats on forty little mem
bers of the kindergarten class. Two
little tow headed girls attracted hel
attention, and as she tied their hoods
she asked:
"Are you Charlie Porter's little
girls?' Two serious little blue eyes
looked up as the elder replied:
His name was Charlie when he was
a little boy. He's MI. Porter now

story Of the wolf and the lamb and
had followed it up with the remark:
"'And now you see. Tommy. that

WEDNESDAY, JAN. II, 1912.
MONTANA HAS THE GOODS

cheer Prev ils among q number OF
prominent Montana citizens who con.
tribute to q symposium OF views as to
future business conditions in the
Treasure state. Intimate knowledge
of it's resources, acquired by long
residence in Montana, convinces them
that no state in the union has better
reason for optimistic expectations re.
gardinR the developments that will
make Montana foremost In many in.
dustries that bring wealth to the gen.
eral community.
Senator Dixon, for instance, in
facilitating his fellow citizens in Mon
tana upon the suspicious opening OF
the new year, extends this pertinent
greeting:
"May the New Year bring the best
Of everything to the 400, 900 men,
women aud children who 10Y consti.
tute the people of Montana. The old
adsge that God helps those who help
themselves still holds good. The
people of Montana hold in their keep.

timber and water power. Their future

ture. 1t is up to us to determine what
shall be the social and moral devel.
opment of our commonwealth. In this
each man and woman in Montana
should enlist as q soldier of the com.
monwealth."
The opportunities that exist in Mon.
tana are but partially appreciated by
many residents of the state. AS
Senator Dixon remarks, the citizens OF
Montana have q vast heritage of re-
sources, and the extent to which they
will be developed depends upon the
enterprise and industry of those tc
whom this heritage is committed. II
addition to devoting their energies t.
the promotion Of their physical vel
fare, the residents of Montana ar
given the timely edmonton that 90
cial and moral conditions should no
be neglected by those who aspire 4
the reputation of good citizenship.
Governor Norris, also, regards thu
future with 9 confidence that is in
spired by personal knowledge of VIVA
has been accomplished by residents O
Montana in recent years. The greet
ing of the state executive says In part
"When account is taken of the fac
that less than seven per cent of oul
agriculture and horticulture resources
are developed and used, II will be read
lily understood that 1t Is from the pro
ducts of the soil that Montana viii
receive her greatest wealth and tn
larger MEASURE Of prosperity. l
present prospects are realized th'
year OF 1912 will witness the lsrges
appropriation and use Of the soil il
the history OF the state and permauen
development will 20 forward as never
before. The people Of Montana hav'
every reason;to' feel hopeful and to lool
forward with confidence 10 receiving
the largest messure Of prosperity tina
will be enjoyed by any state in th'
union"
Montana has the goods. No stat
in the union presents such q wealth
of opportunity for citizens who posses'
the grit and determine alton necess ar!
for success. The past decade hal
witnessed results that were a revela
ton to old-time residents, and further
surprises will undoubtedly develop II
the near future.
