Address all Communications to The Montana PROSPERITY!! UNION!!! REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET For Representative in Congress— CHAS. N. PRAY of Choteau County For Asso. Justice of Supreme Court— HENRY C. SMITH of Lewis and Clark County Uncle Chet Thomas of Kansas was noted for his political philos- ophy. One of his quaint sayings was "Boys, if you can't beat 'em ine 'em." At any rate, if a notorious worker of the third was hustler enough to make a showing in his bailiwick he was only following in the wake of democratic ward heelers, pluggers, etc., which have become notorious for their political pull, such as "Bathhouse John" of Chicago, Bill Adler, convicted murderer and democratic hothouse politician and ward boss in Kansas City, and other eminent lights who do the work for democratic bosses. At the ballot box Ingalls' phrase as to the democracy of death becomes apparent at that portal. Dives gives up his riches; Lazarus his rags; they meet on a common level in so far as their ballot is concerned. By showing an enrollment of 30,000 children at the opening of the schools in San Francisco it is very evident that the children did not all leave after the earthquake. William Allen White, the famous writer of Kansas, gives out the following dope in his Emporia Gazette to the young men: "Stay by the Republican Party and save it. If the ticket itches with the railroad mange, scratch it where it itches and then stop. Remember it is better to scratch and be a Republican than to bolt and be a Democrat." The Georgia Outlaws The strife between the races at Atlanta, right on the heels of the recent meeting of the National Business Men's League in that city is deplorable and unfortunate. But what more can be expected of the howling dervishes, who, on account of a natural instinct of race hatred are not unlike savages who become unmanageable at the sniff of blood. They may, and no doubt are murdering innocent men and women without trial or jury, simply because they are black; but the day of reckoning will surely come, and as General Sherman and John J. Ingalls predicted, the patient suffering and humility of the persecuted race will change, and instead of the peaceful and law-abiding citizen, they will change, forced at the very brink or annihilation to defend themselves; who knows but what they will align themselves under a modern Tousant La Overture, marching under the blood-stained banner of revolution, when the torch and bomb will do their deadly work. Not in defence of the vicious element of the race, but of the innocent, and who could blame them. While we counsel conservatism and forebearance, and condemn, in unmeasured terms the crimes committed by the vicious crimes committed of our people, we, with equal vehemence condemn those who essay to take the law in their own hands, and make the innocent suffer for the wrongs of others, and in doing so who knows but what the Georgia outlaws are only going through a slaughter house to an open grave. While the Independent is so busy jogging Mayor Lindsay's attention to the gambling evil, in order to be consistent, if for no other reason, why not call the attention of the County Attorney to this issue. Above all the officials in the County he is the one who can do more for the suppression of gambling than any other one man. We take it that in order to win this Fall's campaign there will have to be something presented to the people in support of their ticket other than ridicule and falsehoods, as the Independent seems to be long on those two; the Democratic managers will have to get the merits of their various candidates before the people. The morning newspaper in a long tirade headed "Uplift of the Negro," but really a column of hog wash directed against a young colored man whose highest ambition is to run a saloon or crap game, should challenge this young man to mortal or some other combat, as the people are no doubt fatigued at their differences. This young man, owing to his ancestry, has not had much of a chance in the world, but it looks as though he will in some way get through the world. If the great moral daily will just arrange it so their little differences can be put on to a finish the public will certainly feel relieved. The dive would fail to flourish if the police would keep the idler on the move. The organization by our people of a forum whereby they can meet at least once a week and exchange ideas, and promote thrift and enterprise is a commendable move which should meet the approbation of all who would have the race rise. We hope that the efforts along this line will be a success, and that our leading citizens will join in this movement to make it go. THE W&STERN TUSKEEGEE Industrial Institute Notes. The Fall Term began Tuesday with a very encouraging enrollment. Students are in attendance from every section of Kansas, and the entire West. Sedgwick County leads in the non-resident enrollment with Johnson County as a close second. Every day our students receive an abundance of wholesome vegetables and fruit from our farm. The boys appreciate the farm work. We have just planted fourteen acres of alfalfa. A number of ladies under the leadership of Mrs. J. M. Wright spent one day last week canning fruit for the school. We are very grateful for the work of these good ladies, and trust others will do likewise. Principal W. R. Carter preached at Shiloh last Sunday morning. A very generous offering was given our school. May others follow Shiloh's example. Mrs. F. E. Motin, our instructor in Elocution and Delsarte gave a recital at Western University this week. Mrs. Motin is the leading Negro Elocutionist in the West, being the only Negro member of the Kansas Elocutionary Society. She always pleases her audiences. All of the departments are running in full bla t. Every year shows an improvement in the systematizing of our industrial work. Our instructors are from the leading technical schools of the country, and have been especially trained for their work. Students continue to arrive. While we receive students at any time, it is advisable that they enroll at once as we require students to make up all back work. Helena, Montana, Friday, September 28, 1906. The nomination of the Hon. Leon LaCroix to serve a second term as County Attorney by the Democratic Convention last Thursday was a surprise to everybody, and we verily believe was one to himself. That he will go down to ignominious defeat on the 6th of November admits, of no doubt or question, a weaker or poorer showing could of no possibility be made in that important office than the showing made by LaCroix in the last two years. HIS RECORD The statistics from the work which has gone through that office will be shown from time to time through these columns, and if any voter can conscientiously vote for a man who has practically thrown the funds of the tax-payers to the four winds of the County, with no greater results than LaCroix we are greatly mistaken in the makeup and intelligence of the voters of Lewis and Clark County. The statistics from the work which has gone through that office will be shown from time to time through these columns, and if any voter can conscientiously vote for a man who has practically thrown the funds of the tax-payers to the four winds of the County, with no greater results than LaCroix we are greatly mistaken in the makeup and intelligence of the voters of Lewis and Clark County.

But every person who is at all conversant with matters politically, freely admits that he has not even a look-in, as far as being re-elected is concerned. WILL SHOW HIM UP INDEALER.

And we will leave it for the voters to verify our statement that he has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The Saloonkeepers, Bartenders and Taxpayers up in Arms The saloon men and bartenders of Helena should assuredly feel kindly disposed toward LaCroix when they recall that he took the trouble, while acting as County Attorney, to go to Great Falls and testify against the State in the Keerl case. Not only did he embarrass the prosecution by testifying that in his opinion Keerl was insane; but for his valuable (?) services in that regard charged to and received from Lewis and Clark County the sum of $19.60 as mileage, being 10 cents per mile going and returning, when as a fact he had in his possession, and undoubtedly used, an annual pass over the lines of the Great Northern within the State. It would seem for this dtstinguished service rendered the bartenders at so nominal a cost to the taxpayers of the County La Croix should receive their united support. One of their number had been murdered in cold blood, and it only cost this County $19.60 to have its County Attorney use his utmost endeavors to prevent the conviction of the murderer.

Hurrah for La Croix! space was filled with an enthusiastic and representative gathering of our people, who were anxious to hear the exercises and the addresses. The Proclamation was read, and addresses were made by J. B. Bass, Miles York, and Spencer Smith; they were along the line of racial progress, and discussed what can be done for the future progress and uplift of our people. It was the unanimous opinion of all present that meetings along the line of this one should be held often, and no doubt steps will be HIS RECORD taken to the end that those who have the welfare and interest of the race at heart may meet often and exchange ideas which will crystallize into something which will be of vast benefit to the progress of the race. We shall keep the people posted through these columns as to the progress of the move, and ask them all to take an interest and come out when these meetings are called.

Thursday's Entertainment The Social Dance to be given by the Autumn Leaf Club next Thursday evening is for the purpose of entertaining the visitors who will be in the city from Butte and other points over the State. The visitors will in no event be charged for admission or for refreshments. The boys are working hard to make it a success. Over 250 invitations are to be sent out; the splendid Electric Hall has been engaged, also Brass' Orchestra, and a royal time is assured. Attention! Everybody! If you are interested in the progress of the race, come out to Sunday's Meeting at this office at 3 o'clock, P. M. Matters of great importance to the community are to be considered. Dr. B. C. Brooke was the man, and not Mr. Wendel, who voted even against the Committee recommendation that the Zanzibar license be not granted, and we do not believe that there is anyone who thinks any the less of him for it, as it was a plain case of railroading two citizens out of business without even a semblance of a hearing. He demonstrated that he was broad enough to be fair, and that if other equally as notorious and pernicious places were to be allowed to run, why single out only this particular one? In other words he refused to be lined up by the lies of brassed officials who had it in for the firm on personal grounds and used the Council and Mayor to crush them. Today there is not a more popular man in the County tnan Dr. Brooke. He is a man like our own Roosevelt, who believes in a square deal for all. WANT U.S. FIGHTERS ALL CLASSES IN CUBA WANT AN ARMED INTERVENTION. ALL CLASSES IN CUBA WANT AN ARMED INTERVENTION. American Mediators Under Leadership of Taft Expect Peace Shortly—Business Men Lack Confidence in Ability of Cubans to Govern—Secy. Taft Favors Giving Another Chance. Havana, Sept. 24.—All classes are now waiting for the conditions under which tranquility will likely be restored in Cuba, and keen disappointment is expressed on every side because of the likelihood of peace being brought about without armed American intervention. That the differences of the opposing factions could be reconciled was not generally believed to be possible until today, when it was announced that the liberals and the insurgents had empowered a committee to represent them before the American mediators. It is evident that the business interests of the island have no confidence in the ability of the Cubans to rule themselves and now, when it appears to be too late, they are openly favoring forcible intervention and possibly annexation. Secretary of War Taft is cognizant of this general opinion that peace can not last unless it is enforced by an American army, but he considers that it is the duty of the United States to give the republic another chance and believes it will be bad policy for the United States to keep a force in Cuba longer than was required to supervise the laying down of arms. He said today that if the liberals and moderates harmonize their differences the United States must regard the compact as made in good faith. That peace will come as the result of the mediation of the United States is now believed by the Cubans, regardless of party alliances, but whether it will be on terms that will insure permanent tranquility is questioned. When the diplomatic representatives of foreign powers visited Mr. Morgan's villa at Marianoa today Mr. Taft significantly remarked that he could give them no definite assurances for peace, for the reason that the terms had not been put forward. This statement was in response to an expression from Cayan de Avala, the Spanish minister, that the world expected the United States to settle the controversy on such terms as will guarantee the security of foreign interests. Salute Is Significant. There is considerable comment to day over the fact that a salute of 19 guns was given Secretary Taft when he visited the warships. Previously he had been given the usual 17 guns to which the secretary of war is entitled. Two extra guns means that he is recognized as an ambassador extraordinary on a special mission with plenary powers from President Roosevelt. It is known that he now has been authorized to exercise his own judgment in all matters pertaining to negotiations and that the squadron with its entire force is under his immediate control. It now appears that Acting Secretary of the Interior Montalvo ordered the trains prepared in anticipation of the possible landing of a supply of quartermaster's stores at the wharf. The captain of the port gave color to the report that they had been placed there in readiness for the landing of men. The stores consisted of tents, floorings, poles, pegs, water barrels and 150,000 rounds of ammunition. Captain Coudens said that if no occasion arose for the use of these stores they would be placed aboard the supply ship Celtic when she arrives. In the rebel camps are thousands of negroes, to whom revolutionary life is easy as compared with labor on the plantations. Some of the more refined of the officers, however, admit that they will not be sorry to return to their homes. UNEARTH CHARNEL HOUSE Ruins of San Francisco Building Has 20 Bodies San Francisco, Sept. 25.—Another tragedy of the great fire has been brought to light through the finding of the remains of a score or more bodies in the ruins of a lodging house at the corner of Fifth and Minna streets. Thirty Lashes for Negro. Wilmington, Del.-Before 500 persons Charles Conley, the negro who was a few days ago sentenced to 50 years' imprisonment and to receive 30 lashes for committing an assault upon Mrs. Beatrice Frankish and her daughter, was publicly whipped today in the yard of the Newcastle county workhouse. More than 2000 persons clamored for admission to the workhouse yard. Although the lashes were well laid on, they were carefully distributed, so that no blood was drawn. Deny Armour Will Sell Out. Representatives of Armour & Co declare that there is no truth in the report that J. Ogden Armour is about to close out his holdings in Armour & Co. to the Swifts. Colonel Hill Dies. Colonel Isaac R. Hill, for many years a well known figure among public men at national capital and in Ohio democratic politics, is dying at his home in Washington, D.C. SPORTING NEWS. Following is the official standing of the clubs in the Northwestern league at the close of the season: Won. Lost. P.C.

Barney Mullin and Kid Parker are matched to fight at Phoenix, B.C., on or about October 5. The entire gate receipts and $150 a side are said to be at stake for the match. Bandelin, Butte's southpaw, who holds the Northwestern league pitching record against the Spokane team when he let it down without a run or a bit in nine full innings' play, is the high water man for 1906 in point of games won. Official announcement made of the report of the championships of the United States Revolver association shows that J. A. Dietz, Jr., of the Manhattan Rifle club of New York city won both the national revolver and pistol titles and also the New York state championship. Lieutenant R. H. Sayre of New York city won the military revolver championship of the United States. The Irish-American Athletic club won the trophy with a total of 65 points to New York Athletic club, 34. As a side attraction for the Interstate fair program this week, the Spokane Rod & Gun club is planning for a big day's sport when the five professional trapshooters annually headed in a tour around the country by Captain Tom A. Carshall, will visit the city and shoot in exhibition over the Natatorium park traps. In the 16-pound hammer throw, John Flianagan of the Irish-American Athletic club, displaced the Canadian record of 163 feet $6\frac{1}{4}$ inches, with a throw of 173 feet. One world's and two Canadian records were broken at the Canadian championships at Montreal Saturday, Martin J. Sheridan of the Irish-American Athletic club of New York, threw the discus 135 feet 5 inches, beating his previous world's record of 133 feet $11\frac{1}{2}$ inches, made at the games here last September. In the pole vault, J. H. Moore of the New York Athletic club did 11 feet 4 inches, the old Canadian mark being 11 feet. The dates and preliminary arrangements for the boxing and wrestling tournaments between the Multnomah, Spokane and Seattle Athletic clubs have been decided. It was decided that Spokane should meet Seattle in Seattle January 23. Spokane meet Multnomah Athletic club at Portland March 1. Seattle meet Spokane at Spokane on Thanksgiving evening.

He was applauded. Find Mail Clerk's Body Kingfisher, Okla., Sept. 25.—The body of Mall Clerk Gable, who went down in his car with the two other coaches of the Rock Island passenger Tuesday morning, has been recovered by a diver. The corpses were pinned under the wreckage of the car. Stolypin Villa Assassins St. Petersburg, Sept. 24. — Twelve persons have been arrested on the charge of being implicated in the recent attempt upon the life of Premier Stolypin, when a bomb was thrown in his villa. The leader is a Jewess. All of those arrested have confessed NEGROES AND WHITES IN A DESPERATE FIGHT. Negroes by the Score Kicked, Clubbed or Shot by Infuriated Whites—Number of Dead Large—Blacks Are Torn from Cars and Dragged Out of Shops—Militia Is Called Out. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 24.—In one of the worst race riots known in Georgia a number of negroes were killed and scores badly injured by infuriated whites Saturday night. Reports of the number of dead vary. Some place it as high as 30. Four attempts at assault on white women by negroes within or near the limits of the city wrought white citizens to a high pitch of excitement. The assaults of the day followed two others of a similar nature, within the week and at least half a dozen others within the last two months, and brought matters to a climax. Governor Terrrell has issued an order calling out eight companies of the Fifth infantry and one battalion of light artillery. This order was not issued until three negroes had been killed and 15 taken to the hospitals, five of whom will die. These comprise only those cases of which the police have official information. The mob began its work early in the evening, pulling negroes from street cars and beating them with clubs, bricks and stones. Negro men and women, riding to their homes after the work of the day, were ruthlessly torn from the cars or attacked on the streets. In a few cases negroes retaliated during the early part of the night, but after 10 o'clock they were scarse in public places. The fire department was called out to disperse the mob on Decatur street, a street most frequented by negroes, and for a time seemed to hold the crowd at bay. The police reserves were called out and will hold the situation until troops can be mobilized. The mob seemed to lack leadership, and this doubtless prevented greater slaughter. Bitter Race War. The disturbance here has taken the form of an active and bitter race war. The barber shops where negroes were employed next became objects of attack. One of the hardest fights of the night took place about the post office. A negro barber shop across the street was the object of attack, and in less time than it takes to tell it the shop was wrecked and the negroes were beaten, one to death, the other proprietors escaping by the alf of the police. On Peters street a hard fight took place. This was started by a negro shooting at the crowd below from a second story window. A bullet hit him and he fell back and died in a few moments. One negro who was found with a pistol in his hand was beaten to death on the vladuct, in the center of the city and a block from the Associated Press office. Colonel Clifford Anderson, of the Fifth Georgia regiment, is in charge of a squad of 100 militiamen, patrolling the center of the city. All reserve police are on duty, and are patrolling the streets armed with rifles. A heavy rain has begun and this has cleared the streets. Two White Women Frightened. Mrs. F. Arnold, in the west part of the city, was attacked in the yard behind her home at 7 o'clock last night and escaped by screaming for help. The negro escaped, but a negro was arrested and brought to police headquarters. Mrs. Chaffin, living near the Soldiers' Home, was attacked in a similar manner this afternoon. A posse is searching the woods for her assailant. Later Report. Nearly 24 hours have elapsed since a race war of no mean proportions began in Atlanta. It is believed that at least 16 lives have been sacrificed and the number of injured will be 40, several of whom cannot recover. The city is controlled by the police, aided by nearly 1000 state militia. Another Riot Monday. The reports of slaughter in various parts of Atlanta since the sun went down, after the most careful investigation possible, have sifted down to one fight between a number of county police and deputies and an unknown number of negroes. In the fight, which took place in South Atlanta, in the vicinity of Clark university, a negro institution, a county policeman, James L. Heard, was killed. Four other officers were wounded and three policemen were missing at last report. The number of negroes dead is not known; possibly it will never be known. The officers, in the darkness, claim to have counted from six to 15 dead. The excitement of the fight and darkness of the night made the counting uncertain. Secretary Shaw for Tariff Farmington, Mo.—Secretary of the Treasury Shaw devoted his speech here to a discussion of the tariff, and made a special appeal to the farmers and laboring men. He upheld the Sherman anti-trust law and the Elkins rate bill as two of the greatest statutes enacted by the republican party. London has 8000 streets, which it costs nearly $11,000,000 a year to keep in order. HUGE CHELAN POWER PROJECT. Condemnation Suits Are Started to Get Rights on Stream. Chelan, Wash.—F. H. Brownell of the Everett law firm of Brownell & Coleman has served papers in a condemnation proceeding against several riparian owners along the Chelan river between here and Chelan falls. The action is brought in the name of the Chelan Electric company, the corporation recently organized in Everett, of which J. T. McChesney is president. Some of the land involved is situated within the corporate limits of the town of Chelan. The petition states that it is necessary for the company to acquire all of the power in the Chelan river, and for this reason it will need the riparian rights before mentioned. A large dam will be erected some distance below town and the water raised to the line of high water on Lake Chelan. This power is to be used to develop electric power for the operation of an electric railroad from the town of Wenatchee, with a branch to Lake Chelan, and up the Okanogan river to the northern boundary of the state. The power will also be utilized in supplying the town of Chelan with electric lights and water and in lighting the towns of Wenatchee, Waterville, Orondo, Brewster and points along the Columbia river. The power will further be used to pump water for irrigating purposes from the Columbia river along that stream. The petitioner states that it further expects to use the power for the purpose of operating the line of the Great Northern from Wenatchee to Seattle, a distance of 160 miles, and for lighting the various towns along the way. The Chelan Electric company has already acquired the riparian rights of a number of land owners along the river, but could not come to terms with others. The company recently purchased the holdings of the Chelan Water Power company, including the electric light plant and waterworks, and so far as the members of that company are concerned, the suit is a friendly one.

THE SPOKANE INTERSTATE FAIR Opened Last Monday Amid a Grand Throng of People. Spokane's fair, which opened Monday, is in full swing this week, attended by thousands of enthusiastic visitors not only from the city but from all portions of the Pacific Northwest. The railroads gave a one fare rate on Monday from the four Pacific Northwest states and this brought great throngs to the exposition. The fair lasts two weeks and during the remainder of the time the roads will give a fare and a third rate from all points in the Inland Empire. This rate is good every day. Reports indicate that the opening night parade and festival, given by the 150,000 club and by the Mystic Order of E-Nak-Ops were a grand success in evrey way. The grandstand was thronged that night and all the reserved seats in the grandstand were sold for that night four days before the fair opened. Many more horses are on the ground and they are faster animals than ever before came to Spokane. The racing is popular and excellent time is being made. The open betting ring is a feature which pleases the sportsmen.

They have planned an elaborate smoker for Thursday evening Oct. 4th at their hall $810\frac{1}{2}$ Riverside avenue. All men having seen service are invited to attend.

MILNER. Box 321, DeGraff, Ohio Box 324, DeGraff Ohio. Dr. B. H. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio. Dear Sir:-- I was a terrible sufferer from pelvic weakness and had headache continuously. I was not able to do my housework for myself and husband. I wrote you and described my condition as nearly as possible. You recommended Peruna. I took four bottles of it and was completely cured. I think Peruna a wonderful medicine and have recommended it to my friends with the very best of results. Esther M. Milner. Very few of the great multitude of women who have been relieved of some pelvic disease or weakness by Peruna ever consent to give a testimonial to be read by the public. There are, however, a few courageous, self-sacrificing women who will for the sake of their suffering sisters allow their cures to be published. Mrs. Milner is one of these. In her gratitude for her restoration to health she is willing that the women of the whole world should know it. A chronic invalid brought back to health is no small matter. Words are inadequate to express complete gratitude. W. L.

Chicago, Sept. 24.—John Alexander Dowle delivered his parting message to his followers in Shiloh house Sunday afternoon. He expects to start for Mexico immediately. He talked of his plans to return to Zion City next summer and build a great mansion for the coming of Christ and the dawn of the millennium. But he said that it was possible that the Lord might call him home before that time. "I am not going to Mexico to stay," he said. "I want to build a great house on Mount Carmel to entertain the children of God. I feel that I must build it for the coming of the King. He will come soon. "I shall come back and come into my own. My attorneys have appealed my case and I feel that the Lord will not desert me. I believe that God will send his Son to me when the time of the millennium comes. "Live peaceable lives, my people. Get all the money you can, save all you can, and give all you can. You have promised to pay your tithes regularly and the first apostle needs a little money now. They have tied up my estate so that I can get nothing. "If this is the last time I will look in the faces of the people—if this be so—I will not be sorry. I will be contented. "I am not a sick man in many respects. My disease is a broken heart. I have lived with Mrs. Dowie for 25 years, a broken-hearted man. She abused me every day. I don't know that I ever shall see her again. I shall be a lonely man, but I want you to help make my lot as easy as you can. If my wife repents I will forgive her, but I never will restore her to her former position." Dowie's listeners thronged every room and filled the stairways-in Shi-loh house. Unable to stand unsupported, his features the hue of death and his small, white hands trembling, Dowie, clad in his gorgeous apostolic robes, was borne in the arms of two stalwart negroes from his room to a platform in a bay window. During his talk of half an hour, however, his voice at times regained its old-time resonance and penetrated to the upstairs apartments, which were thronged with eager listeners.

You certainly know what to take, then take it—Ayer's Sarsaparilla. If you doubt, then consult your doctor. We know what he will say about this grand old family medicine. This is the first question your doctor would ask: "Are your bowels regular?" He knows that daily action of the bowels is absolutely essential to recovery. Keep your liver active and your bowels regular by taking laxative doses of Ayer's Fills. 4% COMPOUNDED TWICE A YEAR 4% Savings Accounts Opened from $1 Upwards WE RECEIVE DEPOSITS BY MAIL on exactly the same terms as though made in person at the Bank.

The Woman Behind The Carriage You may talk about the Man Behind the Gun. Sing the valiant and the gallant deeds he's done; You may praise him and I'll join you in his praise, Though I like him best pursuing peaceful ways; But the Man Behind the Gun though brave he be. Is not half as brave or true or grand to see As the Woman whose fair hand he took in marriage Marching proudly just behind the Baby Carriage! Oh! the Man Behind the Gun for victory craves, And the dangers of the battlefield he braves. For his country's cause he willing risks his life. While at home toils on the patient, loving wife, She's the nobler of the two, I dare to say, She's the finer and the better every way, Is the Woman whose fair hand, he took in Is the Woman whose fair hand he took in marriage. marriage; Marching proudly just behind the Baby Carriage! To the Man Behind the Gun I yield his due He is loyal, he is brave, and he is true; But I wish there were no warring and no fray. Naught to take him from his home and wife away. For though grand he looks as soldier on parade. He is grander and he's nobler peace-arrayed. When at his side the Girl he took in marriage. Marches with him just behind the Baby Carriage! You may sing and crown the Man Behind the Gun. the Gun. I will sing of her whose work is never done. Of the patient, toilng, loving little wife. Who with fear awaits the outcome of the Who with fear awaits the outcome of the strife, Holds the hero of the future in her arms, Sees him smile and hears him coo at her alarms, And, thanking God for the sweet gift of mar- riage, Marches proudly just behind the Baby Carri- age!

The Autumn Leaf A new social club was organized last Monday evening to take the place of The Summer Outing Club, which was so popular during the Summer months. The new club will be known as "The Autumn Leaf Club," and will perform the same functions as its predecessor. The following officers were elected: A. Palmer, President; Jas. Howard, Secretary; Gus.
