FROM PIECER no PATHFINDER.


The whole Christian world E cele-
bratine the one hundredth anniversary
Of the birth Of David Livingstone, a
Scotch cotton mill boy whose name
has become one OF the universal
names Of history. AT the age OF ten
he became a ''piecer' in the Bian'yre
Cotton Mills in the outskirts or Gas
gov, continuing with the mill until ms
later youth He wrought long hours,
and then read his books by a pine
knot fire till his mother would rouse
herself at midnight. and, snatching his
book away. would cry: "Davy, DaVy,
you must go.to BED" Later on he built
a book-rack on his loom-frames n
studied BY snatches. In after life he
never had a complaint to make Of his
arduous work in the mill but rather
referred to it with pride as a splendid
schooling. The fact that his a%nniver-
sary and compulsory six months
school terms are announced simulta-
neously in North Carolina is signifi-
cant. Livingstone is an inspiration to
every toiler in the mill. The sweet
music of his beautiful life was set by
the Divine Composer to the hum OF

Livingstone was a good shepherd.

sheep. He was a good physician who
the slave trade, which broke his
heart, has virtually disappeared as the
result Of his career. He buried him
self alive in the jungle-tomb Of the
Dark Continent, and out OF his sacri-
fetal self-interment has come a new
birth to Africa Of Christianity, civil
cation and commerce. C~hristendom
honored Stanley for finding Living
stone, but Stanley's exceeding great
reward was the touch OF LivingStOne's
life upon his. and it transformed him
from the rough and reckless adventur-
er into IN earnest and humble Chris
tan.
Livingston j%ourneyed like Abraham,
fought lions like Samson and David,
prayed like Eli iah and evangelical like
Paul. His name is a synonym fol-

To make collection Of these curl

vouchers no one could be blamed for
doubling the authenticity OF some Of

A collector of curious autographs

time in bagging his prey. The rare
specimen might leave his present adj
dress and this valuable addition to q
collection be lost. So the collector
sends politely worded note, inclos-

an addressed and stamped envelope.
He begs the favor of the autograph

Those New Mormon Counties. .

mon question. This time the
fit was brought on from
brooding over the creation Of
1.-THE new Mormon counties in
south Idaho," referring to
Gooding and Minidoka count
les. 1t says ''the bills Great
ing them were passed by both
houses of the legislature with
out opposition, without de
bate and without considera-
ton" The Tribune is mis-
taken, so far as the latter
statement is concerned, es-
pecially as regards the crea-
tion of !Gooding county.
While it is true that there was
no debate on the floor of the
house for or against the crea-
tion of these counties, the
senate devoted an entire day
in the consideration of the
Gooding county bill. Fur
thermore, the house commit
tee on county lines and bound
aries devoted more time to
this bill than to any other one
equity division bill which came
before it. Those opposed to
the creation of Gooding coun-
ty were given all the time
they asked for in which to
present their side of the case.
As to the creation of Minino-
ka county, there was prac-
tically no opposition from re-
sidents within the territory
of the new county.
The Tribune is also soft it's
base" when it refers to these
two counties as mormon
counties. The Mormon pop
ulation in Gooding county is
SO small that it will never cut
any figure in the politics of
the county, and the editor of
the Tribune needn't lose any
sleep over the thoughts of
Gooding ever being represent
ed in either branch of the
Legislature by u Mormon.
In Minidoka county the
proportion of Mormons to the
total population is a little
larger than in Gooding county
but even there they are not
strong enough to control the
elections, even though they
all voted the same ticket.
The Tribune's charge that
these two bills carried the
mormon SEAL" is absolutely
false.
However we agree with the
Tribune that it was unwise
to create two new counties
out of the county of Lincoln,
but solely on the ground of
population and valuation.
And now that the court has
held that the land in Mini
doka county is not assessable
until the title passes from the
government to the settlers,
it is going to put that county
up against it from a financial
standpoint, for some years to
come, and confirms the stand
we took at the time of the
legislature-th that it was too
early to create the county of
Minidoka, but the people of
that section were almost
unanimous in favor of it, so
the bill met with little or no
opposition.
While the writer, as a men,
Der of the house, voted for the
bills creating these two count
les, we voted against our
judgment as to Minidoka
county. But never once from
the time the bills we're intro
duced until they passed the
house, were we asked by a
Mormon or Geutile to support
the bills.
The Tribune can howl all

he WAS DISAPPOINTED
Manager Of Moorhead Athletics Ex-
pected the Halstad Team to Show
Up Much Stronger.

Concerning the game of yesterday,
Manager Murray of the Moorhead
athletics has the following to say:
THE Moorhead athletics won from
the Ha1Stad team yesterday after
noon by a score Of 9 to 2.
The game was a one sided affair
from start to finish, the Halstad team
did not seem to be in it with Murray's
men who played the game all the time.
Manager Murray feels very much
disappointed over the outcome of the
game, Halstad having been highly
recommended to him as having an A
No. | team, and the kind of ball they
played was entirely unlocked for by
the management.
"Murray. states that he will guaran-
tee a better game next Sunday when
the athletics will cross bats with the
fast Grand Forks team which yester-
day played Hillsboro with a score of
8 to 2. On Sunday June %, Murray's
men will meet Hillsboro at the Moor
head athletic park, and Murray ex-
poets his men viii have to play fast
ball to get the longest end against the
Hi1lsboro boys whom he played two
weeks ago at Hillsboro, the Moorhead
boys winning by a score of 4 to 3.
"On Saturday June 20, Wahpeton
will be the opponents to Murray's
boys. and Wahpeton has long had
the reputation Of having one of the
fastest teams in this part of the
country. Manager Murray also plans
on meeting the fast all nation team
but no date has as yet been set for the
game which will most, likely be play.
