HOW IT RAINS IN MONTANA.
TSalt Lake Tribune.


1t is related that at a recent meeting OF
liars in Idaho, a Salt Lake stage man de
moralized the whole crowd After each
individual liar hal told his toughest story
the Salt Lake ulan squared himself oil,
and said: Among the most remarkable
sights | ever saw was a Montana rain
storm. You never saw it rain if you have
never been in Montana. During the par
ticular storm I allude to, a barrel was "
ing OFT doors with both ends knocked ont.
The hunghoie was open and on the upper
side, AMI, gentlemen, although it may
seem exaggerated to those who have new
er seen 81 Montana rain, it is nevertheless
a cold fact that She water rained in ut that
bunn-i!ole faster than it could r!n ont ut
both ends"
The Salt Lake nlan arose and proudly
and triumphant. marched out Of the
room. Tae silence that followed was only
broken by the w%ailiny and crashing Of
teeth.

ABOUT MONTANA.

L. V. Smalley in the last number Of his
magazine, among other things, says this
about Noutana's agricultural worth:
Montana has nanny special advantages.
Farming in connection with stock raising
is always profitable. Montana cannot be
called an agricultural country, but it has
many rich, sunny valleys which yield
heavy crops of grains and vegetables, and
which have large adjoining ranges OF free
open pasture land. An industrious farm
er who carries on farming on Il small
scale, and has a few head Of cattle and
horses to run on the ranges, is sure to
prosper. The market for grain is a local
one, and asthe price is much higher than
prices in Dakota and Minnesota as the
freight rate on the long haul of nearly
1000 miles from those nearest extensive
eastern grain fields.
"The old-time farmers in Montana val
leys will tell you that agriculture Is going
to the dogs. It is hard for them to adapt
themselves to the new condition of things
produced by the railroad. They used to
get two and tsssssse cents a pound for their
grain, and, raising enormous crops on the
| irrigated bottom lands, they had as much
money as they wanted to spend, These
farmers used to hire men for fifty dollars
a month to work their places and spend
their own time mainly in the saloons in
town, PLAYING poker, and putting down
ten or fifteen drinks of whisky a day, at
TWENTY-FIVE cents a drink. They can no
longer live in this extrayagant and lazy
way. Drinks are noW two for a quarter,
but wheat and oats do not bring half the
old prices. Good farms can be bought III
some cases for only a little more than the
cost of the Improvements Eastern farm
ers, accustomed to habits of industry and
economy, will soon supplant the indolent
easv-going, handwriting, old-time ele
ment in Montana.
"A man who works only enough land tc
support his family will soon become indie
pendent in Montana, from the increase o.
his stock, which costs practically nothing
to raise. 1t used to be a saying that /
cost more to raise a chicken in Montan;
than a steer, aud this was not very Wid
of the mark. We can assure farmers Wh'
want to emigcate to Montana, and wht
have sufficient capital to start with in
moderate way, that they will have nj
trouble i'll finding excellent openings
either to buy out oldsettlers or to take u
Government land, where irrigation i
practicable, and where there is an abund
ance of open pasture.

not probable that Flynn reloaded the
pistol after shooting Brazil. x ball

THE New OLD TESTAMENT. A

sides of the Atlantic. 1t is stated
that there are numerous radical chan
res in the text which will destroy
some of the favorite props for con-
versational argument. We say
"Protestant," because the Catholic
Church has, had nothing to do with
the revision, and will, of course, ad-
here to it's own version. 1t is re-
marked as "a singular thing, that nc
Hebrew scholar was invited to assist
in the revision. The probability is
that the new version will not meet
with popular favor-at least not foI
MANY wears to come. 1t will, how
ever, possess great literary interest
and the papers will soon be full Of
articles pointing out the most strlk'
ing changes in the text. The imme-
date effect will be a weakening OF

ration and infallibility of the Bible
