 MT. Donovan. secured minutes time and announced that he would like the attention of pr. EFess, a member of the House from Ohio, and the Preside of Antioch College who was arrayed on the side of those who wanted to have ability to read a stan dard for admission to this country. After securing the time the member from Connecticut asked that the House give attention to 8 few words that he had sent to the reading clerk to be read. L5
 The clerk read as follows:
 "Sir Walter. Scott said: I have
 read books enough, and convers-
 ed with enough of eminent and
 spIendidIy cultivated minds; but
 assure you, that I have heard
 higher sentiments from the lips l. of poor uneducated men and women, when exerting the spirit of severe yet gentle heroism un- der difficulties5 and afflictions,
 or speaking their simple thoughts
 as to circumstances in the lot of
 friends and neighbors, than I
 ever met withs out of the pages
 of the Bible, We shall, never
 learn to respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider everything as moonshine com
 pared with the education of the
 heart. 's.'' s-3

Cottolene is an exact combination of the
two finest cooking fats nature produces
The cotton seed oil in ottoleneis pressed
from selected seed-itisa grade so hoice
that it is not listed on the market. 1t
is purer, sweeter and better in food
value than most salad oils. The beef
stearine is the product of the freshest,

1t is the exact combination of these two
fats which gave Cottolene its high place
W e a quarter of a century ago, and
which has held this place for it.
Cottolene is economical, but better than
that it actually improves the quality
and flavor of all foods cooked with it
whether it is used for shortening, frying

MONTANA COMMISSION
PRAISES THE MONITOR

The following letter from the secre-
tary of the Montana commission of
the Panama Pacific exposition at San
Francisco, dated Dec. s, has just been
received by the Monitor:
"The Monitor,
"Glendive, Montana:
"The Panama. Pacific International
Exposition is now bit of history. The
work of dismantling and wrecking the
buildings and exhibits is in progress.
Within another week, all of Montana's
exhibits will have been reshipped or
disposed of in some manner and those
of us who have been looking after
Montana's interests here will be re-
turning to our homes.
Therefore, you may take the Mon
tana Building off your mailing list and
be assured Of the gratitude of the
commission for the very valuable as
sistance and cooperation that you
have given to this work throughout,
not only by stimulating interest to
bring about Montanas participation
here but for the enthusiasm you have
taken in it all along.
"Not only that, but l want to thank
you for those in charge and the visit
ors from your part of the state for
giving them an opportunity to keep
in touch with affairs at home while
they were visiting the exposition by
furnishing the reading room with q
copy of your valuable paper. Most OF
the papers published in Montana have
been on file in the Montana building
throughout the exposition period and
it is the one thing your home people
ask for first on entering the building
"For the commission, I want to ex'
press our deepest appreciation.
Every truly yours,
