Graduating Exercises.
The graduating exercises of the
Wibaux High School were held in
the hall last Friday evening and
proved very interesting, pleasant
and instructive.
The class was composed of but
two this year, Miss Alice Martena
M. M. O'Neal, Salutatorian, and
Miss Grace Seibert Rice, Vale
dictorian. In her salutatory ad
dress Miss O'Neal chose the sub^
ject, "The Shadow of Ourselves"
and in her valedictoi'y address,
Miss Rice chose the Subject,
"The Chambered Nautilus."
The additional program which
consisted of addresses, songs, rec
tations, instrumental music, etc.,
was flawless and all who partici
pated deserve great credit, espec
ially Prof. Baird who was, of
course, at the head of the affair.
The address of Attorney F. P.
Leiper, of Glendive, is deserving
of especial mention as the gentle
man was formerly principal of
the schools here and could see
and depict the many and rapid
changes in the way of advance
ment that have taken place.
Rex Chappell's history of the
Wibaux high school was also very
interesting—in fact the whole
program was one such as we sel
dom have the pleasure of enjoy
ing.

When you talk to a man or a
child about his faults, don't stand
over him with a club.
A foolish woman can make a
lover a husband, but it takes
a oright woman to keep a hus
ban a lover.
Home without a woman's care
and a woman's love is like no home
at all—only the empty nest in a
winter's gale from which the
birds have flown.
It is a mistake to suppose that
children will acquire good man
ners when they are as people
phrase it, "old enough" to under
stand their propriety, if the ob
servances of good breeding are
ignored or neglected in the first
four or five years. Mothers some
times forget that the active and
receptive stage of child-life in the
nursery is never surpassed at a
later period. The little one is
taking impressions every moment
acquiring gentle habits or the op
posite, picking up words and sen
tances, surprising his elders by
the facility with which he learns
what they would gather he should
not know. In the baby's home
the foundation is laid j. for the
good or bad manners of the ma
ture man.
Death of Mrs. D. A. Hall.
The remains of Mrs. D. A. Hall
were laid to rest in the Wibaux
cemetery on Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Hall gave birth to a baby
girl on Thursday night, and Fri
day afternoon begun to have
uremic convulsions which passed
into unconciousness from which
she never awakened, passing
away about 4 p. m. Saturday.
Mrs. Hall, formerly Miss May
Poorman, was born in the state
of Missouri twenty-five years ago,
and was manned to D. A. Hall
March 10, 1901. ^S.he leaves, be
sides a mother, three brothers
and two sisters, a husband and
two daughters to mourn her un
timely demise.
In the very prime of life when
it is full of hope and promise, the
wife and mother is called to lay
down the burdens and cares of
this world and go to .the plach
prepare d by other hands. There
are many things we do not under
stand, but "His ways are notour
ways." The bereaved family
have the sympathy of the entire
community.
What might have been a ser
ious if not fatal quarrel occured
last Friday evening at the Davis
ranch south of town. It appears
that Felix Carson charged Hugo
Fahlstrom with making false re
ports to the foreman in regard to
the former and which roused his
anger to the extent that he at
tacked Mr. Fahlstrom with a
knife in Mr. Davis' office. Mr.
Davis succeeded in seperating
them but not until after Carson
had succeeded in inflicting a
slight wound in his victim's side.
He then appeared with a Win
chester which was promptly tak
en away from him. Some diffi
culty was experienced in secur
ing a doctor as Dr. Benedict was
out in the country all that night
hut on his return in the morning
he in company with officer Wynn,
drove out to see the victim of the
attack and bring in his assailant.
Mr. Carson was taken to Miles
City by Sheriff Savage Saturday
j evening. Mr. Fahlstrom, at last
report, was doing as well as could
| be expected, and will soon be
I about.
