Perry Heath's announclement that Mr. 111anna would be nominated for the plresidency if lie would consent to the use of his nanle is not strictly true. What he iieans is that he would le nominated by Mr. hleath tunder those conditions. Instead of turning over a new leaf, Mayor Mullins will be warranted in start ing a new book on Friday. Colonel Bryan is coming home and we shall soon-know the innermost thoughts of Europe. Rather than have any serious difficulty over Chinese territory, Russia will make a few new promises, with no intention of keepilng them. Aside from the mere question of sound reasoning, both Count Tolstoi and Colonel Bryan have rather too many of the world's goods to take an enithusiastic view of the socialistic doctrine that wealth can be cre ated by division. Then again the mlanner of calling and drawing grand juries might be investi gated without mussing the public welfare. Grand Rapids, Mich., officials are not so much worse than those of somne other cities, but they are better advertisers of their business, The appraiser of the port of Chicago -has been asked to resign for the good of the service, and the democratic editors re gard the ilcident as an insult to the old soldiers because the man served in the civil war with distinction. Japan's desire to fight appears to be In. creased by Russian politeness. Conservative estimates would show that with the money which the IeIinxe bank takes from the Ileinze wage-earners by discotniting their time cheecks it would easy to pay for all the editorial spape4 voted to the United Court and Copper co pally confisc;tion cause in twenty papers like the Billings Times, the BJozeman Courier and the Western News of Libby. NATURE IS A JUST OLD LADY. Give Your Nerves and Muscles Both Work and Rest to Preserve Them. (Forsyth Times.] After work comes rest; when they alternate perfectly a man may prepare to enjoy real happiness. When they t2er-. ni:te perfectly a man will enjoy Laotd te work -and the rest that follows it. N'Air is a just old lady. She seldoam giv'R-a man more than he needs. If he elects to live a lazy life, she lets hdis muscles get flahby and hirs bratin go sleepy. She never pecrmits hint to long possess a faculty or a nerve or a muscle or i solitary sinew that lie does not use. The proper way to keep your mnuscles and your brains is to use ShIetll up Iand let nature furnish )you with a new supply. Nature is assist ceI in this work by rest. One may rest sll.tltimls by seeking a change. of labor. Lli ar thus becomnes a recreatiton-re ct;ation. To live happily ir this world it is Inot enrogh to know how to work; a u IlllMst know alsno how to rest. The ntsi who knows onily how to work soon wears otlt. If lie dLxsnl't wear out ilntle diately his work will sulfer it soime way. No ,oan . int dIo his hest work unileas he alternatats it with a little play or a little re-t. A man who can't drop his work tront his mitd asl readily as he can drop his tools fromt his hands shouhl take a few weeks off to study the rest qutestion. His nervets are not what they should be. lie is not doing justice to htinatself or his work. - RURAL CALLS ON THE WIRE. 'I Illustrating How Pleasant It Is to Talf Over the Telephone. In his article on "Life in the corn lict" in the l)ecember \',Irld's Work, Prof. T. N. Carver of lHarvard U:iyver sity gives the following illustration of how rural calls are made by telephone: First Femnale Vo.ice--Is that you, Sa rah ? rhSecond F. V.- Yes, it's tie. IVirst F. . V.-- IIave you got your dishes wa.hed yet ? Second F. V\.--No; we're just through breakfast. First F. V.-What did you have 'for breakfast. Second F. V.-F-l:ried mush and eggs, and pork, and--say, what did you have? First F. V.-Oh. we had graham gemsl \Wc're going to have roasting ears for dinner. Third F. V. (breaking in: evitdjyy some one else is listening, too)-So are we. • . . t " Stotl'd F. V.-()urs aren't ripe yet 'I hird F. V.-We've got lots. Send S:nammy over after them and I'll give you :ourth P. V. (another listener)-Say, Mary. how is the hlaby? :irst F. V.-Not very well. lie is teething. Fourth I. V.--lave you tried that medicine I gave you? First F. V. (still another listener) Say. Florence says she is going to have oll Iien's tail docked. (Universai gig glteinl't. This is evidently a neighbor hood joke, intelligible only to the ini tiated.) Third F. V.-Say, next Sunday's qqar terly meelting. Who is going to have Wel clelr for dinner? (I do not think that she meant that there were cannibals in the neighborhood.) Fourth F. V.--II has promised to coltme to our house. And the conversation ran on for to or r5 minutes; and I predict that the oppor tunity for just such neighlborhood visit ing by telephone will do more to break up the retiring habit among farmers than atny other agency now at work. MIore Important .Detail. [Syracuse Herald.] "The play in which we would like you to take a part will open in \'onkers," at nounced the theatrical manager.

It has a lonely asllec', although traveled Bly bigger crowds than in the airly days, As, with life's warp an' woof now well-nigh bal'er I find myself amongst the old-time ways.

Joseph Arthur makes his little heroine in "Lost River," uncultured and ragged as she is, perform deeds which are in no way improbable or impossible to such a character as he has depicted. Dar ing and dramatic as are the actions and surrounding characters and incidents, they served to rouse the utmost enthusiasm during the prolonged run of six months in New Yory before an unbroken series of crowded houses, necessitating the "standing room" sign dis played more frequently than many sup posedly higher grade attractions and evok ing unbounded applause from the most careful and conservative theater-goers of that city. "Lost River" will be at the Blroadway, Friday, January r. "A Chinese Honeymoon." The musical event of the season will be the first presentation at the Broadway next .Monday, January 4, of "A Chinese lHoneymoon." Speaking of it, "A Chinese Hloneymnoon" continues to go merrily along in New York and other principal Eastern cities. The critics of each city are satis fie that the company appearing in that particular city is the best of the twin or ganizations now on tour. That is the strongest kind of a compliment for the de lightful musical comedy. It is the most conclusive argument in support of William Shakespeare's declaration, "The play's the thing." and later one anonymous said that "good parts make good actors." Still for all that, Managers Sam S. Shubert and Nixon & Zimmerman believe in engaging only the best artists, and a glance at the roster of both "Honeymoon" companies show that they have each a strong list of truly good players, particularly picked for the roles assigned thetm.
