me with jealous care as words
familiar to every ear, yet how FEW
there are who fully realize their full
import. "A man to withstand all
the attacks OF his foes, should be al

moment he may fall into an ambush

in our daily lives. The invidious
germs OF disease and death are con
stantly about us, and enter into our

against these poisonous agents. a
medicine is needed which will fulfil
the requirement of being both a

Two Types Of Life.

When the rain in steady, ziz-zag
columns falls Ger all the landscape;
beating with pleasant constancy
against the window pane, and drop
ping unsteady upon the roof; when
the streets are muddy and almost de.
serted, and the sun is yelled with
dark, leaden clouds, we are apt to
sit and almost unconsciously enter
into a sort of reverie. With the
senses dull and sleepy and the birds
no longer singing their sweet carols,
we think over our past lives. No
man can mediate during a rainy
day and not be a better man neither
can he be unmindful of the lessons
taught by such a day. When all is
dark and cold and dreary, and robed
nature lies slumbering beneath the
falling torrents, the heart grows sad
and reflective. Life appears bereft
Of all vivacity and buoyancy and no
happiness cheers the dropping spirit.
Busy thought also adds links to the
chain of despondency-to the gloom
that surrounds us. This is a type
of the dreary side of life.
But soon the rain ceases to de-
scend, the sun breaks through the
scurrying network Of clouds, and
with warm and genial rays, kisses
nature-it becomes refreshed and
more beautiful than ever. The bees
hurry by on swift wings 20 rob the
flowers Of their secreted sweets, and
the breezes, ladened with delicious
perfume and freshness, play amidst
the trees in glee. The streets are
again enlivened by travelling human
ity laughing, romping youths enter
into harmless sports, and the birds
no longer are silent but trill forth
their happy roundelays. The heart,
freed from its weight of WEAKNESS,
bounds with joy unspeakable, and
raises its silent praises to the great
God who sends the sunshine and the
rain-both day and night. This is
the true type Of life. Grant Pitzer.

Vegetable Garden.

Gardening in connection with the
farm must be simple in its methods
or it cannot be undertaken at all.
Recognizing this, we advise fertili-
zing the whole surface versus scat
tering in hill or drill. Stable man
ure should be spread evenly before
blowing, and fertilizers before har-
rowing. Adopt and persist in fat
culture with everything. except per-
haps, Celery. Sow and plant every
thing in rows-nothing whatever
broadcast. To facilitate this
good marker is indispensable. This
is a heavy rake-like implement for
marking seed drills. When used
the line is stretched tightly and the
marker drawn alongside. If only
one is used it should be made thus !:
Procure piece Of yellow pine feet
10 inches long and otherwise 4 by n
inches. The teeth should be of hard
wood 2 inches by inch thick, NOR
tised into the head piece and projec-
ting 8 inches Let there be seven
teeth on one side, each a foot apart
and four on the other at double the
distance, by running the two outside
teeth and two others clear through.
Two handles are inserted at two feet
from either end and braced by cross
piece at some distance from the
head. One stroke Of the marker
across the garden will make seven
rows just the proper depth for SOW
ing small seeds like Carrots or On
ions, and it is but the work OF few
minutes to SOW the seeds and cover
up with tho feet, whereas, those who
have not this implement must
stretch the line seven times and
besides make each drill with the hoe.
by all means, then, have a marker
made now; that with a dibber, one
or two steel rakes and good line
are all the tools needed outside the
regular farming implements. A
wheel hoe is useful provided the
land is clear Of stones. Plants of
Tomatoes, Peppers, Cabbage, Let
tuce, &C., cannot be had early with
out q hot-bed. Our space will not
permit US to touch on that subject,
and besides it is believed the major
ity OF farmers would prefer to buy q
few plants rather than bestow the
watchful care required for their pro-
duction. There is nothing to be
gained by planting this month, but
be well prepared for the busy months
to come. Pl0w, ifthe ground is ia
good condition, but do not harrow
until ready to proceed with the work
Of getting in crops.

Salesville, Montana, Feb. Sd, 1884.

In its vast beds of bituminious coal
Bozeman has an everlasting source of
wealth. And with its tributary valley
the finest in Montana-and with its
mountains filled with precious metals
can anyone doubt its future? We are
prepared to admit that Bozeman has been
duller for the past winter than ever
before. But is it not the case with the
entire Northwest? Bohemian has not con-
tributed her quota to the failures Of 1884
and its prospects, we think, are unequal

yer seen five years in its early history
that were dreadfnlly dull. Duluth, the

SURE THING!

The Union Pacific Will Build

Buying Brick for Coking Re-

Bozeman.
The "Chroniclc" has Held its
Peace But Will Now
Sing a Song of
Sweetness.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota, February eth,
Special Telegram to the Bozeman Even-
ing CHRoNIcLB.-The Minneapolis Jour
nal this morning received special tele-
gram from its correspondent at Omaha,
in which it says that the Union Pacific
railroad company is inviting bids for fire
brick to be used in the construction of
coking retorts which will be built at
BOzeman at once.
Thus it will be seen that the purchase
of the Maxey coal mine at Bozeman by
Mr.. Maxwell, of Trenton, New jersey,
was really misleading purchase tor the
Union Pacific, and that if for no other
reason a branch railroad will be extended
to Bozeman in order to procure supply
of bituminious coal, sufficient for the use
of the road and to supply the many
smelters along its line, which materially
aid in the prosperity OF the road.
1t is the general impression that the
Union Pacific have secured other BOze-
man mines, but We are not prepared to
publish the facts. But our citizens can
now rest assured, that Hon. Sam Words
frequent visits here have been for the
purpose of preparing the way for the
road, which will surely reach here by
next fall, the surveyors Of which are now
at Henry's Lake.

POETRY.

Nearly every paper picked up lately
contains some poetry. Poetry is becom'
ing mania 1t may be caused by the
atmosphere, or it may be the result of our
much talked-of whisky. But from the
following sweet gems we are inclined to
believe that the Chinook is laden with
some undiscovered element Of inspira-
ton. For instance list to the warblings
of our Webfootian friends:
Whatcom girls with handsome face,
Ankles small and slender waist,
With yellow hair and whose tender feet
Are sweeter than the sugar beet.
| And another from rival town:
Dayton girls at masquerade,
Cause more destruction than Morgan's
raid,
Delicate ankles and spangled toes,
And oh! such boobies of fine store
clothes.
The third verse from another town,
throws Lew Knights productions 80 de-
grees in the shade and the mercury still
ascending:
Union girls are hard to beat
They wear roller skates upon their feet
BY the use of another pair,
They could go to Helena or most any
where.
But the fourth verse is where we
realize that we are not dreaming and
that Maybe of the T1mes may be happy
yet:
Seattle girls that have money
Are sweeter than the pnrest honey,
To suck the nectar from her lip
Requires Il man with lots of grit.
A sample of what the human mind can
imagine when obliged to fill space is ap-
pended:
\ local poet often speaks,
OF banged hair and rosy cheeks,
OF beauties dressed in pearls and silks,
These, are the naughty Portland bilks.
Not to he outdone by its nighbors, a
Oregon paper has the following:
Centerville girls go tripping by,
With happy heart and laughing eye;
Their ftlrs and pearls and glittering nose
Tells story full Of woess
And in deep and dreadful anguish a
Butte editor creates the following:
And Butte men with bullion bags,
Discount all the coast bundle of rags
And for drinking whisky piping hot,
1t goes without saying, they take the
pot"
Bozeman, what shall we say oft?
Upon coal man can we make hit?
And tell of a gay and giddy miss,
Upon whose lip was impressed kiss.
