The Doctor Talks to the BOYS.

| have seen a great deal Of evil come
from discomfort Of boys with their
home life. As soon as they arrive at
the age OF sixteen or eighteen wears.
they think the farm Is too small for
them. and that the city is the only pro-
per place in which 10 live. Ii the par
ents yield to their persuasions. their
boys 90 10 the city. which they find to
be already full of boys. looking for
something to do. Ii they manage to
struggle along, the majority of those
who support themselves lead life OF
hard work and privation, and but a
very small number make success in
life. Some Of these boys-happy in
deed ii they can do so--make their way
back 10 their homes. Some continue
to struggle, ashamed 10 90 back, and
still others, a number sad to contem-
plate. 90 downward to a life of shame.
Do not understand me to say that no
boy should leave the country for the
city. The mischief comes from BOYS
making a change just for the sake of
a change. and before they find out what
they are fit for; indeed before they have
really found out what their country
home has to offer them. | have tried
to show our boys that if they find life
dull, and they would have novelty, that
each spring. the wood the meadow,
the stream and the fields are as full of
novelties as the most crowded city
street. Would they see wonders, each
seed that is placed in the ground, each
bud that opens upon bush or tree, even
each egg that is placed under the old
hen, is working out a greater wonder
than any city Snowman can present.
Even the commonest things; the pebble
under foot, bit of limestone or of
coal. has a story to tell, if you will but
hear it. While l would not check the
proper aspirations of any boy, would
have him first know something about
the home he is so ready to leave, and
not wait till he returns to it, after sore
disappointments. to learn there is
ssno place like home. American Agrt-

The wool growers of Montana have
been imposed upon by unscrupulOus
commission men and others. The
statistics show that less than 1000. 900
pounds Of wool were shipped from the
territory last year, while more than
$1,000. .ooo pounds Of wool were
sold in the different markets. This
imposition is a matter of vast impor-
tance to the wool growers in Montana
and we incline to the belief that active
measures will be taken this summer to
prevent such frauds from being prac-
ticed upon them. Now, that Montana
woods are SO much sought after, it is
an incentive to the seller to select
other territorial woods approaching
them in appearance and palm them
off upon the manufacturer; or in other
words, make the better Montana wool
sell an inferior territorial product 1t
has been suggested, and We believe
the suggestion is a good one, that
trade mark be adopted and put upon
every sack of Montana wool, and if
necessary. upon each fleece, with the
understanding that any sack or fleece
not SD marked cannot be sold as Mon
tana wool. We would not be sur
prised if this matter Of protection to
the wool growers of Montana should
be an important subject before the
coming meeting of the wool growers
association, which takes place in Fort
Benton in July, and it ought to result
in the formation Of strong territorial
association.

Insane Asylum An by Himself.
Inter Mounfain.l


If there has been SO much swind
ling in the west in regard to the
cutting of timber and the occupation
OF public land, why does Sparks recline
supinely in his office and content him
self with bawing about Rocky noun
tain total depravitya II there be any
foundation for his promiscuous charges
why does he not come out and vindi-
cate the correctness Of his judgment
by few convictions Ii his divinely
appointed mission is to reform the
land office and save the public land
and timber from the spoliation of
thieves. why does he not make a step
IN that direction So far he has done
nothing except to issue idiotic instruc-
tlons, and afterwards revoke them.
The fact is, Sparks is an incompetent,
laundering, misunderstanding. egotisti-
cal, vain5lorlous, stiff-necked public
calamity. He should be sent to an
insane asylum where he could indulge
his vagares and associate with the
cranks who severally imagine them
selves to be William the Conqueror,
julius Cesar, Mahomet, Brigham
Young and other historic celebrities.
Sparks would figure as the great
reformer' and would always be an
object of interest to visitors. All he
needs is straight jacket and high
board fence around him to be an insane
ass lum all by himself
