Miss Helen M. 'Winslow's advice to
club women in the Club Woman:
* * "Few who accomplish any real
good in life escape the attacks of the
envious. No matter how disinterested
our purpose or how high our ideal,
somebody is going to misunderstand:
somebody is going to impute a selfish
motive. Experience with the world will
teach us to expect and make allow
ances for these things: but we need not
be soured by them, nor lose sight of
our own standard. provided it be a
right one. Only by lowering our own
ideals, by giving away to jealousy,
envy, fear or discouragement, can we
really be touched by these outside
things. Let us keep single to the pur
pose of pressine straight ferward to
the goal of right living and right think
ing, not expecting everyone to under
stand or even appreciate our motive",
and our enemies can do us no real
harm.
To be worried and fretted by little
things: to live in a constant atmosphere
of anxiety about what may or may n-ot
he said of us; to be continually ldwll
ing upon the personal impression we
are makine on others: t bie forever
thinking of ourselves and n v'r "on
larging our vision to the greatness of
miUmanity; to dwell upon the lit!leness
rof some neople and forget the noble
,ess of others: these are the things that
belittle us and keep our csoal- from
"growing. It matters not who or what
are our enemies from without. so long
as we keep free from those within. And
when it comes to that, if we attend
diligently to shutting the door on those
within ourselves, we shall have no time
for recognizing our foes from without.
"'Human nature is so constituted,'
some one says, 'that it cannot see one
person rising above his fellows without
experiencing the pangs of jealousy. No
sooner does one of us rise, either by
force of our own abilities or by a com
bination of outside circumstances, than
do some whom we had once called
friends set to work to pull us down, to
belittle our influence and malign our
motives. Human nature cannot stand
success in other people.' Some hu
man natures cannot, perhaps. But
there are as many kinds of human na
ture as there are people in the world.
WVe talk as if human nature was one
solid lump, of which everybody is fash
ioned, and consequently we must all
be alike at heart as a bushel of peas.
Thank God, there are more kindly na
tures in the world than unkindly, and
a hundred good friends who rejoice at
our success to one who gives it grudg
ing favor. The world is a much better
place than we give it credit for being.
The trouble is we make more fuss over
the one enemy than we do over five
hundred friends, staunch and true.
There is lots of lovable, kindly, faith
ful, generous human nature lying
around loose. Let us look for it."
The little town of Gering. Neb., with
only 500 population, has a literary club
about which centers all the social life
and interest of the place. The one ab
sorbing topic is "What was done at the
club?" and it has been found necessary
to pledge the 92 members to secrecy on
all important matters. Members come
from long distances to the meetings,
one woman driving 14 miles regularly
on club day. When the president, Mrs.
Fred D. WVolt, went to the York feder
ation recently to represent the Wom
an's Literary club of Gering, she drove
50 miles to the train that was to bring
her East, having a trip in all of 463
miles. She considered the meeting well
worth the effort, and gathered inspira
tion and new ideas to take back to
her isolated club. This club has parlia
mentary practice at every fifth meet
ing. The members are enjoying this
year "Travels in the United States,"
and are learning the resources and to
pography of their own country. In ad
dition a careful study is made of cur
rent events.
The biennial committee has selected
the Hotel Plankinton of Milwaukee as
the headquarters of the general feder
ation during the approaching conven
tion. It had already been chosen by
the local board as its headquarters and
the working forces will thus be near to
gether. The Hotel Plankinton is well
equipped, has recently been refurnish
ed and is only a block and a half from
the Alhambra theater, where the meet
ings of the federation will be held. It
accomodates a larger number of guests
than any other hotel in the city and
promises to take care of 600 women.
There is a bath with every other room.
In this way a party of four can secure
two rooms and have a bath room for
all. The management offers suitable
rooms for state delegations and other
meetings without any extra expense.
As in all other like affairs, those first
coming will be first served, and in or
der to get the choice of rooms it would
be well to secure them at once. There
will be a circular sent out by the com
mittee on hotels and boarding houses
later, which will give rates.
The National Congress of Mothers
has recently had printed the full report
of their second and third annual con
ventions, with addresses in full. This
makes a book of 300 pages and there is
much in it that is c:f value to' the aver
aee cl"tb ,nman as well as to the lrotn
er. Some of the- best papers are on
"The Mistakes of Mothers," "Mother
hood as a Means of Regeneration,"
"Stories and Story Telling," "Humane
Education," "The Religious Training of
Children." "Reading for Children and
"The Physical Care of Children." Read
ers desiring to obtain the book are ad
vised to write the corresponding secre
tary of the Congress of Mothers. Mrs.
Mary H. Weeks, 1409 Cherry street,
Kansas City, Mo.
Here are some points in Parliamen
tary law which often come up In a club.
Mrs. Emma A. Fox, the recording sec
retary of the general federation, ex
plains them as follows: "A motion that
the secretary be instructed to cast the
ballot for a certain officer should never
be entertained if the constitution of the
society or the state law under which
it is incorporated requires elections to
be by ballot, since, if carried, it would
to all intents and purposes be an elec
tion by viva voce vote.
"It is generally the duty of every one
entitled to vote to exercise that right,
but it must he considered a matt:r of
honor, as it is Impossible to compel a
person to vote who declines to do so.
"A member who has not voted on a
particular motion has tactlly voted
with the prevailing side, and cannot dis
claim responsibility by saying she did
not vote.
PUT A STOP TO IT.
Chief Leyden Will Permit No More
Coasting on Sidewalkis.
Acting Chief of Police Leyden called
a halt yesterday on children coasting
on sidewalks. The recent fall of snow
has made sliding down hill on the side
walks very fine, and the children all
over the city have not been slow to
avail themselves of the opportunity for
great sport. The natural results have
followed. Several old people who were
unable to keep out of the way have
been knocked down and nearly crippled
for the rest of their lives, and there is
not a sidewalk on a side hill in town
that is not so slippery that it is al
most impossible to walk on it. Chief
Leyden came to the conclusion yester
day that to allow this practice to go
on would result in a lot of damage
suits against the city, and accordingly
he issued orders to all patrolmen to
enforce thed ord:nance which prohibits
coasting on the sidewalks and to ar
rest any one who persisted in violat
ing it.
Chief Leyden also made an order with
reference to the old-time custom of
firing off guns at midnight on New
Year's eve. The order is to the effect
that people will be expected to observe
the ordinance against discharging fire
arms in the city limits to-night the
same as at ally other time. and that
persons who fire off guns at midnight
to-night may expect to be arrested.

ANOTHER BRUTAL MUOER
Fted Garber Shot and Killed by
John Irvine.
TWO SIDES TO THE STORY
The layer Claims the Shooting Was Done
in Sel.-Defense, but Eye Witnesses
Charaoterizs the Deed as a
Cold-Blooded Killing.
Great Falls, Dec.. 30.-From Chinook
comes the report of the killing of Fred
Garber; a sheepherder, by John Irvine,
on the southwest fork of Crow creek,
in the Bear Paw mountains and about
40 miles from Chinook.
The murder occurred Wednesday and
the particulars are very meager. Ir
vine camne to Chinook Wednesday
evening and gave himself up, saying he
had killed Garber in self-defense. From
his side of the story it would seem that
he and Garber became involved in a
quarrel about the latter driving his
sheep upon what Irvine considered ihis
range; several times the quarrel had
been renewed and on the day of the
killing Garber, having again driven his
sheep upon 'the forbidden ground, Ir
vine took his six-shooter and went out
to argue the matter with him.
Irvine claims that Garber endeavored
to get the drop on him with a'Win
chester rifle which he carried, when Ir
vine drew his revolver and fired, killing
him.
That is the story Irvine 'told, but it
seems that it is at variance with the
statement of William Potter, who wit
nessed the shooting, and from his tale
it would seem 'that Irvine first shot
Garber 'through the body and later fol
lowed him half a mile and finished the
job by shooting him through the head
at close range. Garber's face was bad
ly powder burned.
The body was found half a mile
from where the first shooting occurred,
and while the coroner has not yet end
ed his investigations, everything points
to a cold-blooded, brutal murder. The
fact of Irvine following his victim
half a mile after having shot him
through the body, and deliberately
placing his revolver to the wounded
man's head, gives the killing a fiendish
color.
Fred Garber, the murdered man, has
been in the employ of Edward Bar:le
for some time past as a sheepherder,
and has no relatives in this state so
far as known. Irvine is but slightly
known and any particulars regarding
him are not obtainable at the present
time.
Garber is the second Northern Mon
tana sheepherder to meet death by
shooting within the past week, the oth
er being Koontz,. an account of whose
killing by Corrigan appeared in yester
day's Standard.
A SMALLPOX PRECAUTION.
Pest Houses Should Be Not Nearer Than
2,000 Feet to a Habitation.
Great Falls, Dec. 30.-In the building
of pest houses for smallpox patients,
a gentleman in this city calls atten
tion to the recommendations and order
of Surgeon General Wyman received
by Mayor Collins when the dilease first
hean to maniefat Ittatf h Sra_ .y.or
Colltas wivred for instructions I the
matter and the part to which the
attention of the health officers of Ana
conda, Butte and other places in trou
ble is called is that which says;
"No smallpox hospital or lazaretto
shall be nearer than at least 2,000 feet
to the leeward of a habitation, pre
vailing winds considered."
This is the proposition which pre
vented the old B. & M. hospital being
used as a pest house after it had been
decided upon by the health board and
a number of patients had been taken
out there.

Why the Actress Was Feted.
A few weeks ago a pretty little Par
isian actress was appearing at a the
ater in Geneva. On the last night .f
the play a tall, well dressed man sent
in his card and asked permission to
thank her personally for the pleasure
that her performance had given him.
He entertained her at supper, and ask
ed permission to see her off at the sta
tion on the following day. He arrived
with his groom, who was carrying a
tremendous bouquet of flowers. He
told her that he had telegraphed to his
brother, who was in Paris, and who
had influence both with the press and
the theatrical managers, and that he
wculd meet her on her arrival in
Paris.
To the astonishment of the actress
all this turned out to be true, and she
frlnd a magnificent carriage at the
station. A fine dirner followed. The
girl was dumb with astonishment. Her
host told her that it was all for the
I sake of his brother, a horn he loved
dearly, and he spoke pathetically of the
beautiful bouquet she carried, and
which was made up of the flowers cull
ed in the garden of the old homestead.
She offered him the bouquet Instantly,
and he accepted it with a thousand
thanks. Now slhe has found out why
she was treated so well. She had been
the means of smuggling watch springs
to the value of $10,000 into Paris.
