IHE rural paper OIL MeaSHcT county Is
making a desperate effort to extend its
circulation. 1t offers its own paper, in
connection with a few other obscure jour
nails, at reduced rates. This is an obsolete
dodge, and a candid admission that the pa
per making the offer is not worth the full
subscription price. The people of Montana
are not partial to cheap John arrangements,
and not likely 20 be hoaXed by the ''unpar-
allied offer. "-Benton Record.
We reproduce the above simply to give
publicity to the kind and fraternal affection
which our Whoop-Up contemporary enter
tains for us. In giving utterance to these
friendly sentiments he was no doubt ac-
tuated by a desire to have Il little %gratuitous
advertising through our widely-known and
progressive journal, which favor we must
decline to giye-except at our regular adyer-
Using rates-any further than to briefly al
ude to his opinion as compared with our
actual standing before the people.
The paper which is so far behind the times
as to class such publications as the Scientific
american, Mooae's Rura9 Neap Yorker, Cole
nuns Rural World, The Factory and Farm,
Journal of agriculture and Farmer, ETC., as
obscure journals, ctN,d not certainly be con-
sidered very good authority on the genuine
worth or merit of any paper. AS to the
lIUsBANDMAN and its club list being a cheap
John affair. let an Intelligent public decide.
We recognize the fact that times are gradu-
ally growing harder, that wages are coming
down, ard that our industrial classes are
compelled to tinancier more closely. New
papers, like everything else, must como
mlze. and be content with smaller profits,
and keep within the reach of the masses,
and this Is why we otter two papers for the
seme price at which our cotem. is able to
furnish one. The number of orders received
since the announcement of our club rates is
sufficient to assure us that the people of
Montana appreciate our effort to furnish
them with tile hest ~jonrnaIs of the day at
flEe lowest possible cost.

A TINE HoNoRED SPECIFIC.-The long
and successful career of DR.. WIsHART's
PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL, as contrasted
with the speedy collapse of nostrums de-
void of efficacy which have from time to
time been pulled into brief notoriety dur
ing the twenty odd years that this cele-
brated medicine has been sold, affords a
proof that the American public continues
to repose its confidence in deserving arti-
cles only. The PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL
has long been recognized as the leading
specific for Consumption, Bronchitis, Dip
liberia, Coughs, Colds, Asthma, and all
other diseases of the breathing organs. 1t
IS, moreover, certain, speedy, and safe
botanic remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Dis
orders, Urinary Troubles, Scrofulous Aztec
tions, Gravel, Dropsy, Debility, Constipa.
ton, and Female Complaints. Constantly
accommodating evidence of an unimpeacha-
BILE character establishes the fact that it
not only entirely eradicates the diseases to
which it is adapted, but also that its action
is remarkably prompt and thorough. The
crucial test of experience has demonstrated
its reliability in every particular. Sold by
all druggists. Principal Depot No. 916 Fill

THE GREAT REGULATOR SIMMONS LIVER
REGULATOR oummer is the season of the
year above all others when the system is
liable to get out of order and severe and
dangerous bilious attacks frequently follow.
The principal cause of nearly all sickness
at this time of the year has it's origin in a
disordered Liver, the largest organ in the
body, which if not Regulated in time, great
suffering, wretchedness and Death will en-
sue. A little precaution taken in time in
the shape of reliable and efficacious Liver
Regulator will in most cases prevent illness
and fatal consequences. No medicine in
modern times has gained wider reputation
than Simmons Liver Regulator manufac
tured by j. Fl. ZRILIN & Co This Justly
celebrated medicine Regulates the Liver,
promotes digestion, and fortifies the sys

PARADE OF COACHES.

The New York Coaching Club had
its regular fall parade on Saturday,
eight elegant drags being in line.
All of them were built after the latest
French and English models, and in
their ornament and equipment evinced
a high degree of wealth and taste.
-Four spirited and handsomely groom
ed horses paved the ground in front
of each coach. At the head of each
pair stood a groom in plum-colored
livery and top boots, awaiting the or
ders to move. The teams were driv-

SAND FOR A AFoUNDArfoN.-This age OF
enlightenment is gradually xpOsing the
modern inapplicability, if not the fallacG
of many ancient proverbs. Millions
have been wasted in San francisco Ia
city of sand) in costly piling, and in
various costly devices to get better
foundation than sand. It's new, capa-
cious and truly beautiful city hall is
built on a sand hill. It cost a million to
euperstruct on the sand foundation of
grouted macadam. Now we find that
French architects prefer sand to all oth>
er foundations. Sand when damp is
most incompressible, therefore to build
on sand is as secure as to set your house
upon rock. Marine breakwaters are
no longer of natural stone. Sand COM
pressed and treated with hydraulic ce-
ment is moulded into twenty ton blocks.
Thus better sea-wall is made at less
than half the cost. AT Cnerbourg, on
the northwest coast of France, Is much
ex posed sea~wall of this material, two
miles long; and at the Mediterra mean
entr Ance to the Suez canal are two sand
jetties made from beach sand on the
spot three miles long. A score of like
letties and break waters in Europe attest
the durability of this sand material.
Many good narbor may be cheaply cor
structed on the Pacific coast with sand
from the shore, when even, as at Che
bourg there is no natural harl'or of any
sort.-No doubt the harbor of Baltimore
may be enlarged and improved other
wise in the same way.

A COLONY OF TRAMPS.
Philadelphia Press.

Phatddetphtd Press.
In woodland on Darby road, in
one of the most picturesque sections
of the country In the vicinity of Phil
adelphia, there is a curious little
community or settlement of tramps.
During the day they lounge around
fires of brushwood, made in little
stony hollow, sometimes singing,
sometimes cooking, or mending, or
washing, sometimes drinking. Oc-
casionally some of them, spurred by
appetite, or tired of ldleness, go out
into the fields and gather herbs or
flowers, and bring them into the city
to sell, and, with the money receiv-
ed, buy whiskey, upon which they
all get drunk, and make the woods
ring with songs and boisterous laugh
ter or savage cries. The size of this
motley gathering varies with the
time and the seasons. 1t hardly
ever number less than twenty, and
has reached to eighty. There are
men and women, old and young. The
community seems to be governed by
a "master" and "mistress''-the lat

who has been known in the vicinity
for years. They receive the allegi-

authority is not always submitted to,
but to a great extent they are the
