The subject for the sermon will be: “ Spiritual Power and How to Obtain I t ” Bishop Faber will come to Cbo- teau May 7, to hold a confirmation service. Bishop Faber is one of the best preachers in Montana. He will preach a sermon at this time, and every one is invited to hear him. Last Sunday Rev. Haley held a morning and evening service at CoDradln the Christian church, and at both services he preached to large congregations. Over .60 were present at the evening ser viced The Conrad mission is in a .flourishing condition. He gets up in the morning at the alarm of a Connecticut clock, buttons his Chicago suspenders to & Detroit overall, washes.his face with Cincinnati soap in a Penn sylvania pan, sits down to a Grand Rapids table, eats Chicago meat and Minneapolis flour, cooked on a St. Lmiis stove. Then he puts a New York bridle on a Missouri mule, fed on Iowa corn, and plows with an Illinois plow. When bed time cotnes he reads from a bible printed in Boston, says a prayer written in Jerusa lem, and crawls under a blanket made in New Jersey, only to be kept awake by a Montana coyote —the only home product on his place.— Ex. The Grace V'. Bonner enter- t.inment given under the auspices of the Epworth League will be held at the high school auditorium May i. S!n? is a reader, character ini personator, and ventriloquist of rare ability. The Bozeman papers spoke very highly of her work there a few days ago. The Chi nook Opinion said: “ The enter tainment given at the Presbyter ian church Monday night by Miss Grace V. Bonner was the best given before a Chinook audience ***impersonating eleven persons, and the way Miss Bonner ac quitted herself of the task was a revealation to everybody.” On its Reputation A gentleman in Choteau bought A new Ford, just for pleasure, And started to enjoy himself At once, in fullest measure, n He loaded u p the tank with gas And for Dupu.yer started— Arriving there, to Conrad went, And then for home departed. Back, through Valier, he gaily sped His car on high gear driving, And soon had covered thirty miles At Bynum thus arriving. On reaching there he paused awhile To wet his burning whistle; And here I chronicle sad news— The cause of this epistle: Refreshed again, the gentleman, The starting handle cranking, The engine sought to start again— The pistons merely clanking. The natives then gathered ’round To offer him suggestions About the trouble, and to ask A hundred idle questions. Said one, “ I think her boiler ltfaks Or else she’s overheated;” Another 9aid,“ Your spark i9 weak The circuit’s not completed.” A million other things went wrong Each remedy suggested. He tried, in vain, then gave it up;. The trouble had him bested. Around the corner then there came An auto mechanician Who, his opinion being asked. Sough out the ill condition. He turned the crank, then stopped and smiled. While at the natives winking— Before she’ll start you’ ll have to have Some gasoline, I’ m thinking.” t And, sure enough, the tank was dry, Much to his consternation; His Ford had run the last eight miles Upon its --------- reputation.

Well and happy I hope. It hardly seems possible that you have a son old enough to be a partner in your paper, but time flie« lapidly and the boys and girls grow ->p fa«t, which makes us feel that we are getting along in years. *** 1 am enjoying very good health.
