Bn. Co. B. FAMILY PRAYER FOR OUR BRO-THER "OVER THERE." God, we make this prayer for him; he has gone to war; let him find the higher meanings of war and not the lower; war's beauty and not its ugliness. Let him find such things as self- surrender, for the common good; self sacrifice for an ideal; such devotion to a cause as shall develop heroism; such patience under hardship as shall create strength of soul; such courage in peril as shall bring out that which is noble and God-like in him.

Let this war be to him an adventure, fine and wonderful; an education wherein he shall learn life's deepest lessons; an apprenticeship for ultimate manliness; a training that shall provide him a perfect body, a spiritual opportunity that shall enable his soul to come to its due stature. Keep him from war's debasements. from excesses that lessens life, from cruelty and brutality that harden, from lust and drunkenness that rot life, from dishonor, cowardice and all things that make life coarse and com mon. If he shall have good fortune, favor and advancement, give him industry and greatness of spirit that shall leave him unspoiled. If It be doomed by destiny that he shall be wounded or taken to prison or be in any way unfortunate, may he show that noble spirit which redeems disaster, and if he fall, if his life be among those lives that are to pay the penalty of the world's migovernment, may he die as a hero, leaving to us the memory of his sacrifice as an undying inspiration.

God, let him ever feel that our loving thoughts hover about him day and night as guarding angels make him a help and not a hindrance to his comrades. Make him the pride, not the shame of his country, and keep him the hope of our hearts, the nest of our dreams, the chosen one of our love, our treasure of treasures that we give to our God and country. Let us be In every way worthy of him, and bring us iu Thy divine mercy some sweet day to a blessed reunion where all these blesBed heartstrings shall be healed and knitted. Thou Who art all compassion, hear this' cry of the family. Henry Schumacher, Llneti S.

Apropos of the very excellent and timely article in the Sun on the loud talking of our people, I relate a little incident which took place In Helena a few days ago, with Broadway as the stage setting and two of our prominent society stars as principals In the cast of characters. Broadway is quite steep at this point, which may or may not have accounted for the explosion of lung power, making these ladies' voices Bound like a "Big Bertha" on the firing line.

A white woman, sitting at a window In an upper story of a block along the street, overheard this delectable? part of their conversation: "Since has been applying a bleach to make herself white, she is blacker them ever." This white -woman told a colored friend, who told the one talked about No, not yet All are still wearing their full complement of hair. Robert Brown, was struck by an automobile while crossing Pa-k avenue near tho postofflce this week, receiving sovero bruises, which, while not serious, wcro very painful.

His number was observed, however, and the authorities will attend to him, if be caught.

Jesse Peck or Geo. K. Williams President Registrar QUINDARO, KANSAS Word comes to Helena that Mrs. Wesley Cottles, of Big Sandy, was operated upon for appendicitis, at a Great Falls hospital, this week. It was to be expected that the meeting called, on the 15th at the Commercial club rooms would end in a fizzle.

While the chairman lacked knowledge of procedure, there was no excuse for thoso present to exhibit such discourtesy and want of decorum as was shown, and, which resulted in breaking up the meeting, and delaying a movement toward a good cause. The erudite parliamentarians, political orators and trouble makers were very much In evidence and gave aid to this delay. In calling this meeting the promoters had in view patriotic purposes, and should have had) at least, the good will of those present. Did we not know the Helena people to bo 100 per cent loyal citizens, one might have thought German propa ganda held sway. Let's get together for work, and become grown-ups.
