vienna that dynamite would be
found secreted in the coal carried bv

made a careful examination of the
coal supplies on the locomotives

take an oath of allegiance to the Car

make sure no dynamite had been
lodged there. The premiers of the

appears as good auth ority that anoth'

good deal ofexcitement. Where 1t is

well founded.

A Doubtful Advertisement.

There is an illustrated adverelss-
ment in the Yellowstone 1o"r"oS'

certain restaurant in Miles Clty.

The second month the boarder PICKS
nm little and discards the CONN.,
The third month the boarder DE-
comes quite stout. The fourth
month he becomes quite corpulent'
The inference to be drawn from THIS
uadu is that that restaurant Is an
expensive place to board. 1t requires
in the first place new suit OF clothes
every month, and if one may judge
from the corpulent individuals
,U annaarance at the end of the fourth
mranth. b uman flesh can grow no
more and during the fifth month ne
will be likely to "go busted"
