Dear Miss Grey: have
gone with but few girls and
you being a woman will
know just what to say to me.
L got acquainted with a
sweet little lady and her eyes
are of dashing kind and a
very pretty face. l called on
her for a few Sundays. 1
took her box of candy once
and Xmas sent her violets;
but lately she seems indif-
ferent, and last Sunday she
rang me up and said to skip
week or so, and now

night at all.

and she said she had a grand
time. DO you think 1 have a
fair chance to win her. She
is 10 and 1 am Fl. Would
you say for me To keep it
up? With advanced thanks
to you, Miss Grey,

your acquaintance, she will le

everything to the other members,

sibly way of earning money
as 1 go to school. My par
ents forbid me to do any
work except in our own

sister who loaned me five
dollars to buy Xmas pres

it. Ii there is any way you

l do not wish to ask my

always ready to rejoice or sympathize.
"I'i' send her some roses-the finest

rush OF remorseful tenderness. He en-
tered flower shop and bought huge

the dealer and gave him card.

an expensive furrier, and a Lander

Lander had been greatly fascinated,
and felt that her beauty and position
fitted in with his ambitious dreams.

grace, was also something of feline
cruelty.

He strobe down the street, feeling
that the crowded cars would stifle him,
and longing for the sense Of physical
motion and the singing air against
his face. When he reached his rooms
he found on the table an invitation
from Mrs. Dane, a prominent society
hostess, inviting him to attend a din

That Christmas Day in Chicago

the snow had come down thick and

Men hurried to and from their

Of home that greeted them as doors
swung open to admit them. Happi-

in homes Of comfort. But many
were the homes that had neither

OUR CHRISTMAS ISSUE

tt IS with no small amount Of
pride that we present our readers
our Christmas edition in this issue
Its not a big paper as papers 60
but it represents a big task to US
with our limited resources. To So
licit, compose and print i twelve
page paper in our office in the short
space of six days is going some for
as. We are also proud Of the spirit
shown BY our merchants. They
have been most liberal and without
agTouch. Its just simply propos-
ition Of telling our story and they
without single exception, immed-
lately falling in line. Ordinarily
theEadvertising solicitors job is an
onerOus one and he has to do some
tall talking to make a showing, but
in this Instance it was so easy that
it was pleasure and by this we do
not+mean to say that our merchants
are easy marks. 1t is simply a dem
onstration OF their loyalty to the
town and it's institutions. Such 10y
atty is what makes city Of a town
and a town of the desert.
In making a short recapitulation
Of the city's progress during the
past year we must always bear in
mind that is is largely due to this
spirit Of loyalty. Our population
has grown considerably larger this
year, have q number Of new
business houses that were not here
last Christmas. The business now
being transacted in our railroad
yards is almost double what it was
year ago, demanding a larger
depot and yard space. The depot is
now being enlarged and it is under
stood that the yards will be in
creased to expedite the handling Of
both freight and passenger trains
at this point, which is often congest
ed to such !. degree that serious
delays are frequent.
We are proud Of the provisions
made for the education Of the youth
of Harlowton Our efficient system
Of schools is the result Of the Sc
lection of citizens on the schoo

young men and who realize tht

|. they may get the best there IS to
be had in the way of an education.
There arc no better schools To be
found in the northwest than those
of HarloWton, considering them
from every point of view.
Visitors coming To Harlowton
invariably are attracted by the
amount Of business being transact
Cd in our business houses and carry
away with them 4 very high opin-
ion Of the town. This is the best
advertising a community could pos
sibly secure and costs lis nothing.
HarloWton is one Of the few
towns in Montana that has not
grown faster than the agricultural
districts surrounding it. Most small
towns along the Milwaukee and the
other lines of railroad have grown
50 much faster than the agricultur-
al districts tributary thereto, that
a period Of stagnation has oyertallen
them until the agricultural district
had caught up with the town. This
|cOnditiOn has been trne Of Harlow
ton in past years but is almost
Ientirely eliminated now. A casual
visit to the emporilms Of Harlow
ton will convince the skeptical that
this statement is true. In the four
large grocery departments all the
clerks are kept busy from morning
till night filling orders that will, in
the aggregate, amount to many
thousands Of dollars each month.
We are proud Of Hariowtons'
ability to take care of transient
visitors who come to our town. The
hotel Accommodations OF a town or
city are a measure Of the towns
progressive spirit. In this respect
| Harlowton is we'll provided for.
There are many other reasons
| why we should be proud of our
little city. It's people are intelli-
gent, moral and progressive. Our
church pulpits arc filled with tai
tented men and the pews with God
fearing people.
tt has been the policy Of our bus

forced q cry from her lips, there
came knock at the door.
Til the quiet church Of st. John
a Christmas sermon was being de-
slivered. The minister was Il man,
who interpreted mans love Of God
by demanding that he love his
sfellowman. From lips ever elo-
.quent with the zeal Of message
there poured forth word after word
Iof inspiring, soul.stirring exhortat-
ion. His text was Peace on earth
and the mans heart seemed to pour
itself out, over his audience. .
In the choir loft sat a young lady 4
on whom comfort and happiness
had been showered. Her friends
were legion, her enemies few. Indul-
gent parents gave her every atten
tion, and yet in her heart there
was no peace. She longed to feed
herself as the Bread Of life to suf-5
fering humanity. She longed to be
at work. And how that sermon
burned into her soul. All the self

to the first toy shop, loaded herself
with toys. Into a basket she pack

and set out for what the minister
had called the Land of the Living
Dead". One battered door after
another opened to her knock and
shouts Of Joy came through the
lcreyices as children beheld this
angel OF good tidings. Finally she
reached door through whose key
hole not even ray Of light could
bn seen. AS she knocked she heard
u cry Of terror and opening the door
stepped into the dark dismal room.
| Lighting one of her small toy cand-
les she saw a cot and a silent figure
on it, so silent, she saw at once 1T
was the sleep of eternity. The cry
of terror she had heard changed to
one Of JOY. For the orphaned child
had caught a glimpse OF face
shining with the joyful light of ser

she had seen a dark circle Of hair
encasing the face, and her mothers
