"Gone to Shoot Old Perkins,

DClot ACC ASSS.
It is on record in this state that Mich
igan editor was once engaged to fight a
duel. If tho editor himself is not living
llc must have died within week past.
The affairOccurred about twenty-five years
ago. and was brought about by the journ
alst making several vicious attacks upon
the honor and honesty of a member of the
Legislature. The solon first tried the
usual way OF getting even, by buying a
hOrsewhip and hunting the editor, but
when he had found him he was knocked
down and rolled in the mud. lie then
sent formal challenge, and as the editor
opened the letter he turned to his two COM
positors and said:
''Boys how much matter have you got
up for the first page -
"Three columns" replied the foreman,
after measuring up ON the galleys.
'And we need five. You'll have it all
up by noon tomorrow and by Wednesday
night all the inside will be up. Then I'll
wet down. the paper aud make up. and
while you are working off the outside IN
run out and shoot old Perkins, who has
sent Inc challenge
He sent "a formaia ceptancs, named rifles
as weapons, appointed the rendezvous
within thirty rods of the Office, and then
began to scratch out copy. When the
hour arrived he was making up the forms,
having got a little behind the programme,
and by and by his second came in at the
back door and said:
"We've been waiting for you all of
twenty minutes"
''But I'm busy"
'This is no timo to be busy. Perkins
is all ready"
''Hang tho luck"' grOwled the editor
rs he filled out column and flung down
his rule "That's just like Perkins-be
wants our publication day. Come On-I'll
fill him up"
The editor seized his gun, and hatless
and cOatless he set out on lope for the
spot. Perkins saw him coming in that
fashion, and his knees weakened and his
chin dropped, and though the editor
yelled for him to hold on a minute he
bolted over fence and did't come out tf
the woods until he was six miles away.

The Christians Compass.

Suppose you are in wilderness and
there are dozen paths leading in every
direction. Which shall you take? He
would be poor guide who would say:
Don't take this" don't lake that"
and Don't take the other" and still
leave you in doubt as to the one you
should take. He would be a good
guide who should uncover little box
and show you magnetic needle, and
say: "Follow that. That will lead
you out" But you say to him: "See
how many people are going in this
path. 1t surely must be right" But
still he points to the needle. Yet you
are rot satisfied, and You say to him:
/" A great many people have told me
there was no harm in taking that road;"
but still he points to Pie needle.
But" you say once more, a learned
professor and Doctor of Divinity and
a church member advised differently.
They all said this road would do well
enough" mo matter, no matter"
answers the guide. "The needle alone
is to be trusted"
We are in a moral wilderness, and
there are ten thousand paths leading
here and there and everywhere. What
is the use of any moral teacher saying:
Don't take this, and don't take that,
and don't take the othern' Very little,

No darkness where His light is not revealed.

Who to the angry waves cries: peace, be STILL"

There we shall see His smiling face
Illumined with inimitable grace.
Be of good cheer!
Then shall we fail to answer His Request?
Or doubt tho wisdom of the sweet request?

During these later years, however.
the love of objects of art has been SO
disseminated among all classes OF peO-

study and appreciate them in place OF
the few who had formerly had any de-

at the means of seeing them. The
South Kensington Museum and many
of the provincial exhibitions of similar
character have done somuch to educate
the public that vast change has taken
place in these matters, and the regrets
of some at the dispersion of great col
lections is replaced by the pleasure of
the hundreds who feel that now they
are enabled to indulge taste which
was so long believed to be the sole
perquisit of small and narrow-minded
set of admirers. Time and circum-
stances have changed all this. This
impecuniosity of many of the aristo-
cratic and higher classes, and the in
crease of wealth among the middle
and trading members of the communi-
ty have caused remarkable transfer
of art treasures from the great man.

Be Charitable.

As we get older and wiser, as we come
to know ourselves and others better, il
the grace of God is in us at all, we get
CENTER in our judgments. and learn to
pity rather than to blame them who
have gone far astray; and we rejoice in
the thought that there is One above who
knows all and who viii Judge righteous
Judgment. That is ones hope when
one bears of the young struck down in
their sin. That is ones hope in coming
away from that most awful spectacle on
earth, a sinners dying bed, where per-
haps q young and wasted life which gave
early promise OF beauty and of useful
ness is passing in despair away, fearful
of the future, emhittered by memories
of the past. and conscious that he is
leaving broken hearts behind him; none
but the great God knows it all; none but
He knows the nature Of that dying man,
the fury of the impulses which led him
astray, of the temptations with which
he wrestled long but in vain, OF the
misery which lie inflicted on himself as
well as others, of the WEAKNESS of the
life which thus sadly ends. None but
God knows. 1.-The Lord reigne.h."
"Shall not the Judge of all .le
earth do right?" 1t is pitiful to think
of the harsh and bitter judgments pro-
nounced on such life and on such an
end by those who, inheriting passion
less nature with ample store of this
world good things, blessings for which
it never occurs to them they have not
themselves to thank, and knowing little
of temptation except by hearSay, lux
uriate in the pleasing conviction that
they are not like other men. Oh! my
holy and censorous friend, whose weak
nature had never strength to drive thee
far astray, but only strength to condemn
those who have gone wrong, take good
heed unto thyself lest it be more
tolerable in the day of judgment for
them than for thee. Oh! let us all be

Cattle. Raising in Montana.

To assert that Montana is the best
grazing country in the world, writes a
correspondent of the st. Paul Pioneer
Pres, is merely to repeat t. deliber-
ate verdict of hundreds of pr. al
stock-raisers who of late have visite,-
this region and made it the subject of
cautious investigation. For some time
to come the eastern half of the Terri
tory is likely to stand foremost among
the beef and wool producing sections
of America. It is now known that
Montana cattle make better beef than
the average stock of other beef-pro-
ducing Territories and States, and this
is largely due to the nutritious quality
of the native perennial grasses.
Unlike cultivated grasses, these pro-
life wild products have firm, solid
stocks, and their heads are full of seeds,
described in the assertion that Ito
pasture an animal on bunch grass is
like giving him plenty of good hay
with regular and liberal feeds of grain. {"
Before the frost has left the ground
the grass appears above the soil, COW
ering the face of nature with brilliant
emerald verdure. At this time of year,
however,it freshness is nearly all gone.
The period of moisture has passed, and
the plains present yellow and with
cred appearance for the rest of the
year. The fact is that the grass has
been converted, on the stock, into
hay, upon which the sheep and cattle
pasture and fatten throughout the cold
winters. Sheep require greater care
than cattle, but if successfully handled
the profits are considerably larger. The
average increase Of the herd is about
seventy-fve per cent. The production
is the measure of the profit in sheep
raising, as the sale of wool, which is
always in eager demand, defrays the
whole expense of maintaining the herd,
and sometimes exceeds it, to the ex-
tent of 81 or S1.25 rsrhead.
raising rests on solid basis as legiti-
mate field of enterprise widely sepa-
rated from the character of wildcat
speculation in which many capitalists
regard it. 1t should be stated that
Western cattle-raisers are no longer
the uncouth. half-civilized beings they
were ten years ago. A majority of
them are men of education and enter
prise from the older States, who have
come out here and invested their capt.
tai in cattle and sheep raising. With
few exceptions, those who have paid
attention to their business either have
realized large profits or are in sure
way to do 80. Such men. of course do
not pass their whole time upon the
ranches, but live chiefly in towns.
Here. where l write in Billings, num-
Der of them are taking up their resi-
dence. have met many of these cat
tie kings, and have found them all,
without exception, well-informed, gen.
erous, enthusiastic, hospitable men.
Many of them have planned great i'm.
provements for Billings, notably the
case in regard to the construction OF
the stock yards.

Transplanting Teeth.

I performed an operation of trans
planting under romantic circumstances
on certain occasion. A young lady,
as pretty as peach, and a fine-looking
young fellow came to see me one morn
inc. After no little hesitation, they told
me they Were 5etrothed, and that he
was in the army and was going away to
the plains for at least year, hunting
Indians. "And we are very unhappy
at parting" whimpered she. eyes, we
are" almost blubbered he. "We heard
of transplanting teeth, and want you to
take one out of each one of our mouths
and transfer them" For moment
was transfxed with laughter and aston
ishment, and attempted toreason them
out of their foolish proposition-both
had excellent teeth, by the way-but
they insisted. so l extracted one of her
largest back teeth and one of his small
est. Hers fitted his jaw all right, and
he went off a few days afterward to his
post with his lady loves molar. His
tooth. however, would not stick in; for
within a week the young lady came
back with her face dreadfully swollen.
[ reduced the inflammation and eased
the pain, but could not replant her low
er's fang, and she went away with it
wrapped up in paper. Oh! the incon-
sistency of women! Six months after
she married man old enough to be her
father. When the young Lieutenant
subsequently returned he Indignantly
told me of the manner in which he had
been Tilted, and requested nae to imme-
diately extract the false loves tooth,
which I did, and he threw it into the
cuspadore. -InterCieU Wih Dentist, in
