1t has always been somewhat amusing to the
NEW NORTHWEST, which was "the first and
only" newspaper in Montana for year or
two to publish illustrated correspondence,
to notice in its contemporaries the repetition
of that old joke, with variations, about
adapting Lydia Pinkham's exquisite portrait
for illustrating q sketch Of Queen Victoria,
etc. A rather singular coincidence is also
noted, viz that these little exhibitions of
inspired wit have not unfrequently been fol-
lowed by early adoption of portrait CORES
pondence. The Inter Mountain is an instance
In point, and now as we notice the Miner has
entered the lists to poke fun at the portrait
business, we may reasonably anticipate it
will soon join the progressives and utilize
the contents of Its advertising cut galleys
like the rest Of us.
