She says thet the main cause of 'their diaagileement was that she mid become •ianverted to the Christian belief, Ind that tide greatly angered Tom, t who would not permit her to have Christian literature in the house and foreibly objected to her attending church or Sundsy school, as Nita her wish. a 'Other reuses of the (liangree- ment nits that, she says, TOM had a penchant of hiding a way too mueb booze, and that when tinder - - • )t 1 - 10ini3 SONG FOR ') MONTANA ' It none isits*Ine on Broadway . , in the spatier and the mmt, And the 1,1a.ted othoe-hoildinvoi spent' d to mock me e here they static], For I saw the sapphire mountains girdling 'rotund the yellow plain. And I heard the cattle lowing on the ranges once again, Heard the far coyote's cry, Saw the tumble -weed blow by, And the light upon the ledges where the cunning rattler lie. It was (lour before my eye A , the darlight in the sky, And I swore to gee the mountains once again before I die. You'inny talk of quiet homesteads in the Im- memorial East, And the still New England village, where the weary years have ceased Footing up the bills of trouble. But the only place for me Is below the naked mountains, where the Ittuines used to be. Oh, it's - far:eerily to - seek By the banks of Sweet Grass Creek With the shadows falling purple down the slope of Crazy Peak. Where the little roses bloom In it passion of perfume, And a man has light and air, and a man has rest and room. I can are the brown stock -saddle, I can hear the puncher swear At a raving, staving pony rising endwise in the air; I can see theltough flank redden, where the iron rowels - score, And the strong brown fingers plucking at the choking:hackamore.

S. Cooley hail begun 'his nddreee. The fireman listing charge of the furnace rum -hued into the - room and addressing the speaker announced that an explosion nits eminent, and that the people present be asked to leave the bull at once, which ib can be bungined was done without delay. The Cause of the alarm was the blowing out of it water plug which allowed the water to eat - ape front the boiler. However, the tire was quickly withdrawn and in a few momenta all danger wtiw passed. Those who had _bravely re- mained in the bnildi;ig retuned to the hall and the lecturers m- ounted the program. Prof. Cooley's address was mainly along the line of alfalfa growing in Montana, and he was accorded rapt attention. Miss Minna Stoner, who lec- tured on home economies deligheed the audience with an Interesting address. Prof. F. B Linfield of the . hion- tana experimental station was present and gave eonte interesting pointers on scientific farming. The meeting having been rudely interrupted and hut few remaining after the fright, the program was abbrevinted et! many of its inter- esting features. The party. de- parted Wednesday for Sheridan, and front there will go to other Madison county towns where in- stitutes will be held. -- Stock in Good Condition But Feeding Necessary - II. C. Collins, one of the well- known and influential stocktnen of Jefferson county, accompanied by Mrs. Collins, was among those who transacted business in White- hall Wednesday. To the Sunlight Mr. C,ollins reported that there had been no stock losses in his section, but that on account of the heavy, man- tle ofsnow he had found it necessary to feed his range cattle. There is, he says, tin-pbundance of feed in the country and he anticipates the stockmen will experience a suc- cessful winter season. The Sunlight acknowledges the receipt of it handsonre wall (ellen- der from Yegen Brothers of Bill- ings, sent to it by W. M. Fergus, formerly one of this tectioes most prominent business nice and at present manager for the Yegens at Billiogs. • U RESER 4$1 ••••• SAD PLIGHT OF THE BOULDER ION I TOR Statutory Law, Decisions of the Supreme Court and Oath of Its Manager Go for :Naught When the Buccaneer Needs the Money Now conies that brazen political necromancer, the esteemed Boul- der Monitoe, with an ntteMpt to Justify hie - robbery of the county out . of several hundred Oilers by stveseeref-tevrieft- *sive trier Wilti lie entered into with the board of county coMmismionent.
