A TRUE PICTURE.-Now, you will
find that liberal people are happy
people, and get more enjoyment of
what they have than folks of churlish
mind. Misers never rest till they
have been put to bed with a shovel.
They often get so wretched that they
would hang themselves, only they
grudge the expense of rope. Gen
erous souls are made happy 10y the
happiness of others. The money they
give to the poor affords them more
pleasure than any other they lay out.
have seen men of means give cop
pers, and they have been coppery in
everything. They have carried on a
tin-pot business, lived like beggars,
and died like dogs. | have seen
others give to the poor and to the
cause of God by shovelfuls, and they
have received it back by barrow
loads. They made good use of their
stewardship, and the great Lord has
trusted them with more, while their
hearts have rung out merry peals
when they have thought of widows
who blessed them, and orphan chill
dren who smiled into their faces

HIS SIGN.

Three or four days ago a colored
man living in Detroit hung out sign
on his house which read "For Sail.
He happened to be at the gate when
a white man came along and said,
you'll never get an offer for your
house with any such spelling as that"
The owner of the house was greatly
puzzled to improve the photography,
but finally took his wife's advice and
made it read ssFor Sell" This SEEM
ed to be all right for day or two,
and then a school-boy halted and
said, eff you don't fix that sign, all
the children will be laughing at you" ;"
There was another convention of the
family to see where the mistake came
in, and the sign was made to read
sEFur Sail" 1t had not been up an
hour when an old colored man came
along and queried, 'Does you mean
dat dis place am fur Sally? What
yer gwine to glib de place to Sally
fur?" Gam you indin' fault wild dat
sign?" asked the other. ''Well, l
doan' quite cotch on to de spellin'." p"
"You doan', Ell? Has you got sew
en- hundred dollars to nav cash down
fur dis placer" ''No, sah.'' "Den

that the whole thing shall be so popular
lied by the liberality of Its charges, and
the care and attention extended to every
one, that the visitation shall be OH q
scale beyond anything this country has
ever witnessed. We intend to make
everything 20 satisfactory TO everybody
that there will be no adverse criticism
from any quarter. It is only fair to the
department to say that at every step OF
our negotiations they have recognized
their obligation to look after the inter
ests CT the public, and have mani tested
extreme anxiety in this regard, and we
have very heartily responded to their
wishes. While they have been very
| generous and fair, and treated us with
the highest consideration, they have
most rigidly watched every point to pro-
tect the interests of the public"
"What about the various stage accom-
modations to enable visitors to see the
different points Of interest in the park?"
1--WE propose to put on a line Of stages
to the nearest points on the Northern
Pacific, and to all the principal points OF
interest in the park. We also ropose
to have l~iyeries, SO that when visitors
wish to hire teams themselves they can
do 50. We mean to put on q better class
Of stages than mas ever been in the west.
so that a stage ride will be one of the
most en-. .oyable features Of the whole
trip. We expect anywhere from 10000
to so o0D visitors next year. There were
5000 or 1000 visitors this year, and it il
not unreasonable to expect that the
number will be quadrupled, when facili.
ties for their accommodation and enter
tainment are supplied. We will have
in the meantime men under training by
pro essienal guides so that they will b.
thoroughly conversant with all tn.
points of interest in the park and car
accompany visitors and point out al
these points of Interest,"
Mr.. Douglas believes that in consider
alton Of the money expended and tn
extensive preparations they will max
for the accommodation Of visitors, an

imposed IN the contract, it il but propc
that the privileges extended to then
should be exclusive, as already stipulate'
in the agreement.

The First Man Hanged ia the Territory

During the time this Territory was
without law the miners az Bannack had
what was known IS a miners court,
oven which Judge Burchett presided.
One of the first murders in what is now
Montana was committed by Pete Koran,
who killed an old man named Keller.
Henry Plummer, notorious as o road
agent, was at that time sheriff of Beaver
head county, the only organized county
in the territory. He arrested Koran,
who after a trial was sentenced to be
hanged. Koran managed to escaps
from his guards aud ran to q creek, but
was shortly afterwards recapthred and
again taken into court. Judge Burchett
was notified. He appeared, with the
court docket under his arm, took a seat
in the room,t threw one leg leisurely over
a table, took 8 chew of tobacco, and then
said:
"Well, Pete, you tried to get away, I
hear.n
Pete admitted that he had.
"Well,n said the Judge, lit seems to
| me YOU should have known better than
| that. We won't let you go, but will
hang you id quick. In just three
| hours you can make up your mind TO be
| hung.n Pete pleaded in vain for an ex-
| tension Of sentence, but the Judge was
| memorable.
The prisoner then sent for Jere sulli-
van. whom he knew to be D Catholic,
and that he would like to see 3 priest
before he died.
There was no priest nearer than the
B t err Root Valley, but Mr.. Sullivan
went to Judge Burchett and endeayored
to have him postpone the execution
three days, saying by that time he
would have a priest there.
Judge Burchett would not consent TO
a postponement, and SO Mr.. Sullivan re-
turned to Pete and told him he must
prepare to meet his fate, that q priest
could not be had. But I'll tell you
what it is, Pete,n said he, s'you just get
down on your knees and pray for for
giveness, and Til be id If I don't
think your sins will be forgiven"
We do not know that Pete took this
advice, but he was hanged promptly al
the time stated. Plunlnler built the gal.
lows for Horan's execution, and was
himself hanged Decentralization

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con
snlt the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
Dists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to Insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
cars tc Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut a single change of cars to Iowa,
y ,ssss, Nebraska, Texas Minnesota.
erc. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-I s
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to the saving of much Of both as vel as
money. Above all things do not pur-

Measuring Grain In Bulk.


To measure grain in bulk multiply the
width Of the pile by Its length, and the
product by the height; then divide by
2.l50, and the result will give the con
tents in bushels. II it is desired to as.
certain the number of heaped bushels 10
a pile OF ears of corn, ascertain the cu
bic inches and divide by 2,8lS.
IT,, having any number oil bushels, I,
is required to find the corresponding
number of cubic feet, increase the num-
Der OF bushels one fourth itself, and the
result will be the number of cubic feet
In order to ascertain the Lumber
of bushels which a bin OF q given ze
will hold, find the contents OF the bin 10
cubic feet, diminish the contents by one
fifth and the result will be the contents
in bushels.
