The Poet.

The New York Herald comments
to the effect that it has been flooded
during the present war period with
MS. intended to be poetry, some bad
and some worse. The Commercial
Appeal takes it up and says that the
better class of papers in the country
have had the same thing. l don't
know whether the C. A. would be
generous enough to admit that any
of the country weeklies are in the
better class, but when it comes to
having table full every week or two
with the boldest kind of attempts to
contribute to that field of Literature
where only the genius of the ages
have dared to tread this Office has a
plant to make. 1t is right to say
that there is an excuse for every
one who can read and write intel
ligently to express himself when
necessary in prose. That is the ex-
cuse for many of our weeklies. They
know how to distribute news mat
ter in presentable way, tho they
may not be in the class known as
editors. But for a child or grown
up who does not know how to spell,
much less the rules of common gram
mar and punctuation, to venture the
sacred precincts where the goddesses
of imaginative English have only
safe retreat it ia indeed dishearten-
ing. But the penalty of refusing
that hangs over the county weekly is
terrible. Even this comment puts us
on dangerous grounds. Some of our
readers may be surprised to know
that some years ago a very nice
young friend mailed to us, as the
product of one of her pupils, the i'm
mortal 1--WE Are Seven" by Words
worth. We did the best thing we
could in complimenting the penman-
ship and copying ability of the pupil.
1t would have been not simply an
admission of ignorance on our part,
but a reflection on the pupil to have
published the poem as his or her
work.
1t is not intended by this article to
be misunderstood. We have some
few friends who contribute occasion
ally some very charming verse, and
they are always invited to the col
umns of the paper, but it is awfully
trying to have to turn our Office in
to a poetry hospital, in other words,
to attempt to mako poetry out of al
most impossible manuscript, in
which no attempt is made at cor
rect English, nor on the other hand
is intended to be humorous. 1t IS
quite a job for one who himself is
afraid of the frowns of the Muse.
Only the poet is free to enter the
enchanted field. The layman should
be contented to browse on the COM
mons.

twenty live years ago today Gov

creating a State University OF Mun-

Charter Day was celebrated at The uni

the real day.
The quarter century which has
passed since Montana State University
came officially into being has been re-
markable for the growth made by the
state institutions OF higher learning.
The university especially has developed
rapidly and begins its twenty sixth
year with even richer promise.

found modest quarters in a little Mis-
soula school building for its first term

within 25 years buildings and enroll

Great Political Fight.
/ For that matter even the tiny seed
of the university was not created with
out political struggle The fight
among Montana cities for departments
of the higher education system almost
wrecked the whole project at the leg
islative assembly Of 1898. Factions
supporting and opposing consolidation
took an active pat In the campaign.
too Paris Gibson of Great Falls was
the chief advocate of consolidated
university. to be located by a com.
mission of seven university presidents
But local interests were too strong
The several cities combined finally to
defeat consolidation by guaranteeing
each other parts of the whole mi
yersity.

keep their vows TO wed, made before
the men were blinded in combat, but
in many cases girls who have refused

now insist on being married to the
blinded heroes. Sometimes the men
marry girls they have never seen. AT

trained to be self-supporting and these

silver teapot is the gift to every blind
soldier married from the institute and
a wedding breakfast is given.

BE ROBUST AND STRONG.

If everybody felt half sick, consti
pated, nervous, rheumatic, lost sleep,
energy, appetite and weight, nothing
would be accomplished. No man can
think clearly in such a condition. No
woman can take pride and joy in her
home and family when feeling miser-
able all the time.
The big, successful men in business,
and happy contented women in mat
rimony, are, healthy. Their whole sys-
tenn works like clock.
Such people if taken sick, take med
'icine. They have faith and are not
skeptical, peevish folks. People who
haven't felt well in long time get SO
morose and sullen that they distrust
everybody and everything.
If troubled thus, and desiring to
grow stronger, healthier and more ro-
bust, go to the nearest well stocked
drug store and get bottle of Hypo-
Cod. Nothing secret about it except

Watch it work its wonders on your
nerves, sleep, digestion and kidneys.
Don't take it between meals. Take it

The Ataeama nitrate deposits were

In 1879 Chile seized the Bolivian
port of Antofagasta, and, two months
later, declared war ON Peru as an ally
of Bolivia.
Before the year was out the combin-

LIMA, Peru.-Once the good offices
of the United States failed in disputes
between Chile and Peru. Now Peru is
pointing to the principal of self-deter-
mination in the fourteen peace princi-
pies of President Wilson, and asking
that it be applied in reference to Tao
ma, northernmost province of Chile,
which was taken from Peru and, I'M
der guarantee, was to apply this
same principle OF self-determination
in 1894, but was never permitted to
do so.
Should hostilities be resumed Boliv-
ia may enter the fighting on the side
of Peru, for Bolivia lost its access to
the seaport when Antofagasta was
wrested from her by Chile
