'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. rested.

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. A Pleasant Rleceptlou. Great Falls. Dec. 30.--Mrs. W. T.
