OBITUARY.

Taps sounded over the grave OF
an old soldier. William A. Smith,
Tuesday, at beautiful Mount Hope
Cemetery, Deer, Lodge. He was
born in Louisiana, 1843, moving to
Pennsylvania when a small lad,
where he grew to manhood and en-
listing in the Civil War from that
State. He served bravely and with
distinction for A years. He moved
to Deer Lodge in 1905, which has
been his home ever since.
Quiet and unobstrusive, to know
him was to be his friend, who were
legion. Rev. T. V. Peters of Harri-
man, conducted the funeral service
and spoke feelingly of the virtues of
the deceased. He is survived by a
widow, who is left to mourn his loss

that after the equalizing fund, etc.

mainder of the State School Fund

Harvey Is wilIin'

''This is what is known in Tenn
essee politics as an "off year, which
is Harvey Hannah's regular time
for letting it be known that he is
willing for the Democrats OF the
State to arise in their might and
taking him by the nape of the neck,
slam him into the Gubernatorial
chair. This year there is an addi-
ton to the secret, towit: That he is
willing to be the poor mans candi-
date for Governor. Having held his
face in the public feedbag for some
eighteen out Of the past twenty five
years of his life, Harvey finds that
the bowels at his compassion are be-
ginning to yearn for the bottom-rail
man in life's checkered panorama.
He is consumed with interest in the
fellow who is really never quite able
to meet his taxes, the fellow who is

Being Confessions of Wife 7OOth
By Helen ROWLand

My Daughter, what woman hath
not said in her heart:
alas, why do sweethearts so soon
become husbands?
why doth marriage 50 quickly
transform lover into a censor, and
a rose-colored romance into dull
gray realism?
For, 10. the way of a man with a
maid and the way of a man with a
wife are as the way of a Pullman
porter, before and after receiving a
tip-SO different"
Yet, be of good cheer, my Be
loved
For. verify, verify. a sweetheart
becometh an husband by no desire
of his own heart, but by the gradual
geological formation of his senti-
ments, and the slow qualification of
his emotions. 10, he cannot HELP
it! Go to- The life of a sweetheart
is one of turbulence and doubt and
self-sacrifice; but the life of an hus-
band is his day Of rest" when he
saith in his heart. Il am settled"
Behold, a sweetheart dasheth wild
y in front of a speeding motor-car
TO rescue his Beloved's glove: but. in
time, it cOmeth to pass that an hus-
band can sit perfectly still and re-
gard his wife's united shOe-string
without a single impulse to arise
and fasten ii.
In the day of courtship. a man
seeketh excuses for bringing his Be
loved roses and burnt offerings; but.
after the honeymoon. he fndeth
himself seeking excuses for NOT
bringing them.

armchair and be waited upon than
TO arise and pick up things after a
woman.

has never TO any other in America; the
highest position in both the executive and judicial

TAFT AS CHIEF JUSTICE.

Frest Harding may have builded better than
most OF thought by appointing former Prest
William Howard Taft the chief justiceship of
the United States. Some have thought this could
be because OF the former presidents attitude
on the League Of Nations; that the president would
anticipate decision to his policy should
matter involving the League come before him. Taft
been accused favoring the Wilson foreign
policies 70 those Of Hughes. However maybe the
president has decided that good way to set Mr..
Taft out OF the way is TO put him where he can
do no other harm.
on the supreme court bench Mr.. Taft's mouth
will be closed respects public questions At least
that has been the eL'tom A Judge OF the SUPREME
court Is presumed think only in the language Of
the law books: on the law Il is rather than what
IL should be The bench is accordingly good place
10 send a man who has the habit OF talking and
writing 10 discomfort or those having the power
TO send him there Chief Justice TAFT will become
nonentity so concerns public matters not
before the court for adiudication-and as TO those
OF course. only speak judiciaIly
Whether the president had that sort OF thing on
his mind perhaps none but himself knows but that
does not change the effect OF the appointment. We
will hear less OF Mr.. the future: less as
former president" He has renewed his lifelong oc-
cupation OF office holder. He will no doubt give up
his Job as newspaper writer for the syndicates. II
