ficers that at no place, could the
conditions Of health be better than
Gallatin county. The climatic con-
ditions are ideal; the days are at no
time excessively warm; the nights
are cool, both of which render the
country practically free from WHAT

Gallatin county, in the opinion OF
one of the health officers, an local
section for the raising Of children
and eliminates cases Of heat pros

The pure mountain streams, which
! supply water for the several towns
and cities of the county, are per
haps the greatest asset when IL
comes to health. These streams be-
ing pure. there is practically no ty-
, Dhoid fever within the county and
such common diseases as scarlet Ie-
yer. measles and mumps are found II
a very mild form, with less mortality
amOng children than in perhaps an
orber state in the Union. The natu'
raj pureness Of mountain streams
and well water is easily kept tre'
from infection by the diligence O
health Officers and splendid cooper

THE SHEPHERDS CALL

With twilight fading out of the
eastern hemisphere, coloring the earth
with subdued rays Of violet and rose,
there appears upon the distant hori-
ION great rugged cliffs now partly
concealed by the new fallen snow, re-
lieving to an extent the crude appear
ance of the otherwise beautiful scene.
In the apertures of these mountain
GUS heights shepherds are busy at
their tasks making ready for the on
coming night; for already the keen
north-wind bears down upon them
with terrific penetrating blasts. The
low and mournful bleatings of the
little lambkins goes straight to the
hearts of these great husky men who
would by far suffer the violence of
the storm than have their focks torn
by the fury of the elements. And so
in the caverns and other sheltered
places on the hillsides of old Judea
they find a temporary refuge for
their sheep, and gathering into little
groups they discuss the happenings
OF the day. Gazing into the starlit
heavens perhaps they comment upon
the beautiful planets that embellish
the ornaments; or again resuming
the trend Of their conversation, spoke
dlsapprovingly of the existing debau-
cherry and hiliarity of the town-folk
from Jerusalem. For indeed, these
poor, unlearned men were not world
ly minded in the least, neither had
they occasion to be, for the pinch of
poverty was their portion and their
time was so taken up as to leave
them free from all sorts of dissipa-
lions; so uncomon in these days of
ours. Their occupation, as shepherds,
was everything but pleasant, very
picturesque truly, but extremely mo-
notonous and dreary. Placed by en-
vironment, in which we would term
predicament, they were reconciled
to fate, believing and trusting that
Divine Providence would recompense
them for all their sufferings and pri-
vations. And they were right, for
God so ordained that these poor hum
BILE shepherds should be among the
first adorers at the crib in Bethlehem
to behold the Saviour of mankind
the promised Messiah!
What happiness filled their hearts
is not given for US to know; but
enough is set forth in the pages of
scripture as to give US an idea of
what they experienced, as it is writ
ten that they went back "glorifying
and praising God, for all the things
they had seen and heard" Hank!
What is that they see? From whence
issues so beautiful a melody as that
which fills the earth with glad ac-
cord: GLORY to God in the highest;
and on earth peace to men of good
will" The heavens open and a
multitude of angels appear. A star
larger and more splendid than the
rest sheds a radiance of dazzling
brightness over them until they trem-
bic with a great fear; for never be-
fore had mortal eyes gazed upon so
wonderful a scene. Seeing their con-
fusion an angel approached them
