fusion of any kind, and the per-
centage of blood transfusions
that prove successful are far from
being high; likewise, if some kind
of spiritual TRANSMISSION could be
given there would be few that
would permit it and of those few,
doubt would be so great that the
immediate good would be very
small.
But God does have a plan, the
success of which also depends
upon the will of the individual,
also. 1t does no. require a needle
to be pierced into your flesh, but
it does require positive conf
dence in Him and a sacrificing of
our ideals for His. 1t is not ne
cessary to visit a hospital or a
doctors office but in SimplenesS
place confidence in Him as cure
to all human ills, providing total
submission is made to Him.
Here the Church takes the
place of the hospital, and Gods
minister the place of the physi-
clan. and the comforting power
of Gods divine Holy Spirit the
places of the nurses and medical
tools. There are no operations,
there is no pain, and there has
never been a death. All patients
have been cured, and shall re-
main we'll and happy on this
earth as long as they abide by the
great Gods orders. Love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all
thy strength, and with all thy
mind: and love they neighbor as
myself" luke 10:2D. A further
reward will be that of a home
eternally with God, where there
"is no more death, nor sorrow or
crying, neither shall there be any
more pain. for the former body
has passed away" Rev. 21:4.

rial world and neglected to culti-
vate the higher and eternal quail
tiles of good generosity and
faith. Therefore, he was unfit
! ted to live in a spiritual world in
which those qualities which he
had neglected were a prerequisite,
AS was said in the Sermon on the
Mount about those who prayed or
gave aims in public TO receive the

lily chosen what they want they

| The one redeeming point in the

cerned about his five brothers
and asked that messenger be
sent to warn them of the future.
He was afraid that they, like he,
would neglect the higher things
of life until when they found
them attractive, attainment would
be out of reach. Unfortunately,
it was too late for Dives 10 help

conception of life and its respon-.

Everyone is responsible TO the
extent of his suffering and dis

The spendthrift who wastes his
fortune while children starve and
die cannot be held guiltless.
Those who tempt others TO theft
or shame by display of splen-
dor and ease must assume the
guilt for what they encourage.
So, also, every man or woman is
responsible for the use they make
of every talent and possession
with which they are entrusted.
No greater argument for the
practice of separating certain
portion of@one's wealth for char

that of the great English states

Chief Justice Fosmer, Brave Pioneer Officer
Brought Law to Lawless Montana Territory

Among the many notable men who
were early officials of Montana was
Chief Justice HezelSiah L. Hosmer,
whose home was at the house of Gov.
Sidney Edgerton during his brief stay
in Bannack With him came his fam
lily, consisting Of his young wife, and
two children Of his first wife, a boy
and a girl
Edgerton was familiar with Judge
Hosmer's reputation as a lawyer. and
editor of the Toledo, O., Daily Blade.
He was also the author of the 'Oc-
toroon," a popular novel in antislavery
circles
He was so years Of age when he
came to Bannack, and looked much
older, his hair-what there was of
it-being quite gray. The only thing
young about him seemed to be his
eyes, which were unusually large and
expressive. He might have been hand
some but for his protruding under
lip, somewhat like that Of the Haps-
burgs. OF medium height, in appear
ance he was commanding Gifted with
a keen sense Of humor, his converse
ton was always interesting, and be-

Pioneer life was not all happy thrills
and contentment for Mrs. Mary Blu
chanan. who now, at 80 years Of age,
is a resident Of the Deaconess hospital
in Great Pals.
Hardship was the rule in early Mon
tana times, but It seems that Mrs.
Buchanan probably had more than her
share But bolstered by a devout faith,
she has always taken an interest IN
others. She now spends much Of her
time reading to elderly patients ct the
hospital and helping to cheer them
in their loneliness.
Her life also is Frightened by fire.
quent word from old-time friends and
persons she cared for at the practical
nursing home she operated in Belt for
many years.
Born In Manitoba
Mrs Buchanan was born near Fort
Gary, now winnipeg, Manitoba, June
%, 1851. Her early life was quite sim
liar to other Canadian girls Of the
era. One Of the incidents Of her child
hood which she recalls wildly was the
Louis Riel rebellion. Descendants OF
the people led by Riel are now living
on hill 81, near Great Falls.
Her early education included the
study OF music, which she found use
full in later years for her family. When
quite young she decided to become
nurse and had not completed her
training course when she was married
to Joseph buchanan in 1878. Buchanan
was a widower with two young sons,
The couple had four children. One died
in infancy.
In 1887 the family decided to come
to Montana to live. They left Rapid
City, Manitoba, in the fall of the year
and made the trip as far as Bottineau,
N. D., by OK team, walking part OF
the time. At Bottineau they boarded
the Great Northern, which was being
built through the northwest at that
time

IN. Workmen were being transferred

spent much of their time gambling

the following spring. In the summer
of 1855 the three judges, Associate
Justice OF the Supreme Court Judge
L. e. Munson, Associate Justice L. P.
Williston and Chief Justice n. L. Hos
mer, held the first session of the SUI
preme court at Virginia City, then the
capital.
Like Judge Munson, Judge Hosmer
incurred the enmity Of a certain ele-
ment by refusing to recognize the le-
gality Of the sessions Of the legislature
called by Acting Governor Meagher,
although their decision was later up
held by congress, and the laws an
nuIled that were passed by those
bodies. On one occasion the so-called
legislature passed law commanding
Judge Hosmer to transfer a certain
case to another county This he re-
fused to do: whereupon the self-styled
legislature demanded the judges res
ignation, which he failed to send In,
but explained his own action, and that
of the Legislature, In manner that
generated him in the minds of all
fair thinking citizens.
Appointed Postmaster
In 1863 Judge Hosmer was appointed
postmaster Of Virginia City and held
the office until he left Montana for
San Francisco, where he located, but
never again practiced law
While a resident Of Montana he
made many friends, and some bitter
enemies; for the strife between Act
ing Governor Meagher and the judi
ciary endured until the arrival here
of Montana's second governor, who
succeeded Governor Edgerton. But
whether enemies or friends, none ven
tured to criticize Judge Hosmer's legal
ability.
He was the first to establish law in
this lawless region, and that he was
successful in this Undertaking, al
though hampered by much opposition,
should be sufficient to win him q
lasting place in the history of Mon
tana.

Mrs. Mary Buchanan, Great Falls Resident,
Says Early-Day Life Was Not All Sunshine

In such communities the establishment
Of law was certain to be difficult.
There was no law library in the
territory, and comparatively few Law
books. Fortunately the lawyers had
good memories and had studied their
textbooks to some purpose. No court

was improvised by putting a number
Of tables close together and then plac-

table was arranged for the clerk, an
other was for the lawyers, while the
usual dining room chair of the day,

inserted In piece of board, was placed

on this occasion were mostly young

his charge to the grand jury, the court

government sent you here. We have
some civil matters to attend to, but
you had better let us take charge of
the criminal affairs" While the Judge
did not follow this well-meant advice,
It was indicative of what he would
