A party of five mountain climbers,

Peak and reached it's summit last Sat-
urday afternoon after a five hour

to Red Lodge audience. Mr.. Tag
CART stated that he has been resident
of this city nearly forty years and
that he has been interested in the pro-
gress Of the schools. Being a veteran
of the Civil War in which he served

man America has produced. He stated
that Lincoln's outstanding character
istics were modesty, fearlessness,
courage, honesty and truthfulness and
in closing he commended teachers and
pupils for the programme that had
just been rendered that so carefully
deliniated Lincoln's life and eharac-

Nobody Home

Some days ago one Glen B. Winship
an author of note, spoke before the
Chicago Woman's Club on the subject
Of "How to Lose Your Husband" He
gave thirteen rules that may be fol
lowed for the purpose and let me say
right now that if Mr.. Winship is a
married man and his wife can read he
has nerve to spare. Here are some of
his rules:
always believe that your husband
is guilty until he can prove his in
nocence."
Telephone frequently to his place
of business"
Smile wearily when he tells good
story"
"Whenever he displays affection
start talking about money matters" F."
"Insist that he give up tobacco"
IF he makes a poor investment re-
mind him of it at every possible op-
portunity."
"When he is late for dinner demand
an explanation before he has chance
to volunteer one."
"Be quick to resent any attempt on
his part to correct the children"
"Insist on playing bridge whist with
him, etc"
No, | do not hold brief for the
women of the country but | wonder
just when they would be able to use
any of the foregoing rules with the
nighthawks they are married to. Are
they ever home? Everyone has heard

A Living Monument

When he was introduced he quietly
arose and faced an audience of three
hundred school children. He had lived
long, he had seen Lincoln. He knew
at first hand the horrors of war. He
knew the history of his country and
helped to make it.
1t was Lincoln's birthday and Sam
Taggart stood facing the pupils of the
Roosevelt school.
What did he say? Well, he said
much in few words, but no matter
Had he said nothing he would have
been eloquent at that time and place
He was impressive for just what he
was-a solitary oak in the midst Of
fallen forest-A living monument
of American courage and American
manhood.

Democracy

Valentine day is over. In every
neighborhood in Red Lodge and in fact
in every neighborhood in the nation,
little children gave their little friends
some token of their friendship and
regard. Wealth nor station didn't
count. There was no thought of class
or caste. They may have differed in
religion and politics but it mattered
nothing to those true exemplars of
friendship and democracy.
Grownups-fathers and mothers
the adult world, might well profit by
their example. Petty unfounded, un-
reasonable hatreds and chickering's are
not only unAmerican. They are un-
christian and unright and uncharitable
and unworthy of real upright men and
women.
Hatred and intolerance and snob-
bishness and suspicious have no place
in the beautiful realm of childhood.
They are the vices of narrow souls
