In conversation with reporter, an au-
thority at Fulton Market said 1.-THE
superior flavor Of Welsh or Highland nut.
ton is beyond all doubt due TO the aromatic
plants which abound on the pasturage Of
these hills, and on which the sheep feed.
The hills in Wales are thickly covered with
wild thyme, while those in the Highlands
are full of lady's mantle and other aromatic
herbs which are seldom, If ever, found in
other pastures. This is q hint Of natures
own giving, which the farmer who goes in
for sheep raising or ordinary cannot afford
to despise in these times of hard competi-
ton. The aromatic herbs may be no less
nutritious than clover or rye grass, but they
are just as needful to tho formation Of o
perfect pasturage as the other varieties Of
plants. For this reason they should be
grown in all pasturages. They are easy Of
cultivation, and will grow in the worst
ground, but some are Of course better suit
ed to certain kinds of soil that others.
Parsley, lovage, cumin, coriander, CARA
way, angelica and wild fennel delight in
loamy soils, wild thyme, rock rose, hysop,
sage. savory and horehound in dry, poor
soils, and peppermint in moist soil. All
these plants are obtainable, and oil of them
are easily propagated from seeds.

Af,cr For,y Yenr., cour..hip.

The history Of the troubles of couple
who We're married recently, in village
near lewiston Me-, has something in 1t
which most emphatically illustrates the
truth of tho old adage that the course of
true love never runs smooth. The bride
was lady of "a years, whose hair is silver,
and the groom few years her senior. Their
courtship has extended over period of 46
years. A Lewiston gentleman who is ac-
quainted with the bride says that when she
was Is years old she fell in love with her
present husband, and made her preparations
to marry on her nineteenth birthday. Her
father had died when she was little girl,
leaving an invalid mother, with no one to
depend upon for support but this daughter.
When the old lady heard of her intended
marriage she put her foot right down upon
The matter, and said she should not wed.
Her mother was firm in her purpose and all
efforts to bring about reconciliation were
unayailing. Time wore on, and the two
lovers kept up secret correspondence with
each other. Neither of them married. Not
many months ago the mother died. and now
the wedding bells are ringing and the
couple are enjoying honeymoon which
has been deferred for nearly half century

Brave Montana Maids.

Scattered oil over the broad prairies Of
Montana are refined and cultured women,
bred in affiuence and ease, proud, young
and hopeful, called by the misfortunes OF
their husbands or led by their desires to
enter and achieve in new fields the mission
Of life, to surrender society, the home and
friends and scenes of their youth, and march
boldly to n far nff wildarnasu and andura
privation, toll, labor and suffering. But
these women have grown TO be brave, in
dustrious, self-reliant, full of pluck and
energy, perfect horsewomen, healthy, hearty,
active and independent, and in many cases
about as pretty and as plump rs the very
best of climates can make them. Now, the
typical Montana girl If left alone will sue
coed where an ordinary man would fa'.
With no vices they stick closely to business.
md if bent on tree claiming, demonstrating
Or pre-empting a quarter, half or whole sec.
lion of land, they generally stay by the
claim to the end and prove up on time.
Many of these enterprising damsels
wouldn't have husband at any price.
Again, many after laying the foundation of
comfortable fortune, are taken in by some
lazy bachelor who comes loafng along, sees
the chance, marries the maiden and settles
down into q nice ready made home. Our
girls are breadwnners and no mistake They
are up to all sorts Of schemes, such M
ranching, herding of sheep or cattle, school
superintendents and even politics. The
latter should be expected, however, as the
females of Montana have the right of suf
frage extended to them in case they happen
to be taxpayers. Az nearly every woman
in the Territory is a taxpayer, why, Of
course, she votes, as she has perfect right
10 do. In Bozemaii, few miles west of hero,
one can see plastered all over the town
placards appealing to the passerby to " Vote
for Hamilton, the Peoples Choice OF
"Give Your Vote to Darcy or 6 Vote foi
Nichols and Reform"
Hamilton, Nichols and Darcy were can
lidates for the school superintendency of
.he county, and a fourth candidate was in
the feld--a man. II is needless to add that

Of the girls, Hamilton coming out ahead.

TYPE WRITER'S.



reporter discovered some interesting
facts about type writing machines and opera
tors yesterday by calling upon gentleman
who teaches the art. His rooms are filled
with machines and he was giving instruc-
tions to some half dozen pupils during the
reporters visit
In reply to question put to him as to
whether the type writers had formed an
association, he replied that they had not,
although such plan had been proposed
The movement had been suggested frequent
", but nothing had come of it. There
would never be question of the eight-hour
system among type writers, because the
more hours work they get the more pay they
command, as most of them are paid by the
piece.
What are the prices regularly paid type
writing operatives ?" asked the reporter
The regular charge made by them is
ten cents per 100 words, with an additional
charge of five cents for the first manifold
copy. A few type writer's, am sorry to
say, have underbid their associates by doing
type writing for less money, but the cases
are rare. Such an action, naturally. is very
detrimental to the interest of the workers
generally, and is always frowned down.
This city affords better field for type
writing than any other of its size in the
Union, because IL is the seat of litigation,
md, you see, where there are legal proceed
ings there is always an opening for type
writer's. There are great number of per-
sons here who have fitted themselves for the
work-persons who are in bad health and
who feel that they cannot live without doing
something and that type writing, being easy
work, easily learned, Is at once resorted TO
rs q means of getting livelihood.
Miss Hallack the young lady steno-
grapher who died here few weeks since of
consumption, was the swiftest typo writing
operator in the State She frequently earned
1926 per month.
TYPE writer's never know when they
will be called up. They can't have any
regular hours and must always be prepared
to do work when it comes in. It comes, as
we say, all in bunch and must be done
III u hurry.
Who make better type writer's, men OF
.omen?"
Well, woman of the requisite educa.
tion and nervous temperament will make a
faster type writer than man, because her
fingers are more nimble, but men always
make better stenographers. Stenography
requires an inventive turn of mind, as o
clever shorthand writer will always make
systems of his own, to shorten the charac-
ters.n
Lawyers and large commercial houses
employ type writer's almost exclusively,
although certain grades of machines are
especially adapted to social requirements,
writing small, neat hand and saving busy
hostesses great deal of time. Type writ
Ing machines are expensive because they
are patented and they are pieces of very
delicate mechanism. ~ Denver 1ri5une-Rs.

An Illinois Romance.

Ward Prentice, a strapping young man,
was farm hand, and worked near the farm
Of E. E. Elridge, well-to-do citizen of New
Milford, H., the father Of Mary Elridge,
bright eyed, buxom, and eighteen. She
loved Ward and Ward loved her, but hei
family did not favor the young mans suit
A few days ago Mary went visiting, and
Ward, who knew all about it, went to the
place and took her home in buggy 1t
was quite dark when the Young folks reach
cd the Elridge farm, and the old gentleman,
who had begun to worry, was pretty mad
when he saw who had brought Mary home.
He scolded her and abused Ward, and told
him if he ever came there again he'd blow
him as full Of holes as cullender.
The young man listened quietly and when
the old man was quite through turned tc
his sweetheart and said with superb conf.
dence: g Come May, let's CO."
And Mary with like confidence stepped to
her lovers side. Her father tried to stop
her, but the stalwart young farmer pushed
him away with one. hand and helped the
girl into the buggy with the other. The
old man grappled with the young man, yell
ing loudly for help at the same time. Ward
threw him away from him and, leaving his
hat in the grasp Of TIE old man, jumped to the
seat beside Mary but then her brother who
had been sleeping leaped from his bedroom
window, clad in one brief garment, and
grabbed the horse by the head. Ward seiz-
ed his whip, hit the horse sharp cut, and
the animal sprang forward. Old man El.
ridge was knocked down and young man
Elridge Jared likewise, two wheels Of the
buggy passing over his defenceless legs.
Away went the young, hatless Lochnivar,
bearing the willing girl in his bounding
buggy. They passed the night at the house
OF friend and next day we're married, while
Elridge senior and junior were searching
high and low for them. Then Ward took
Mary to his home, and the next day Mary's
mother took her clothes to her and wept
and forgaye her, and the next Sunday the
young couple went to church and made al
most as much of sensation as Mr.. and
Mrs. Cleveland did at Oakland, and one of
Mary's brothers congratulated his sister on
having got man that was able to take care
of her, and just as soon as old man Elridge
gets over the effects of the tussle with Ward
hen probably forgive the young folks too.
