THE BOND ELECTION.

for bonds amounting to total Of ST.
500. Ten thousand OF the amount is fol
city purposes, while the balance, 81, 500
is for school purposes. It is entirely
unnecessary for the ADVERTISER to enter
into long explanation of the various
uses to which this money will be put, as
the citizens of this city are wide enough
awake and of liberal ideas enough to un-
derstand and act sensibly upon the ques.

in this city should make it point to gel
to the polls and cast his ballot IN favor
of the measure, as every vote counts and

The wool Business in a Nut Shell.

The main cost of raising wool in for
eign countries where the sheep Craze
over the public domain is the wages Of
the herder. In the Argentine Republic
this quality of labor receives thsee Span.
ish dollars per month. In Montana
where the sheep also Craze on the public
domain, the wages of the herder,, which
is also the main cost of growing wool
there, is $40 per month, asagainst So in
South America. This is an increase in
the cost OF growing American wool, 9th
erwise under similar conditions, Of 1900
per cent. The freight on wool from
Buenos Ayres to New York by sailing
vessel is only one-quarter cent per pound
while the cheapest freight from Montana
is two cents per pound to the same mar
ket. Here is an increase to the Montana
grower in the cost OF transportation Of
700 per cent over the cost of the South
American grower. With this difference
against the American grower on the free
range, how much more must be tho cost
of raising wool on farms worth $50 to
$76 per acre? From letter by Theo-
dore w. Justice.

What They Will Wear.

A man stood in front of a furrier's
store contemplating seal garments in the
windows.
81 never see seal coat, 3" he said,
sthat T am szat ---s-1in aln1 of. l,a,"t
breaking day I passed amongzth seal
killers"
Then he told of joining an expedition
when he was young man and going out
for the sport of seal killing. They
knocked the pretty creatures on the
head. The seals are SO tame, affection
ate and fearless that when the hunters
landed and came among them they crowd
ed round like dogs, making their little
friendly barks and fawning upon the
murderous hands that proceeded to
stretch their bloody corpses upon the
beach. The man related how sick at
heart he got, how he tried to go away
from this massacre of the innocents, and
to this day sealskin coat recalled his
wretched experience as n numbering
criminal among the seals.
But the woman to whom he told this
narrowing tale went right into the store
and bought coats, inquiring particularly
if the fur was off young seals. | believe
if women heard that the skins were more
durable if taken off the poor little beasts
alive, every mothers daughter would
insist on vivise1tion. A club of women
lately met to discuss the awful cruelties
shown to cats by the man ON a certain
street who fired revolvers and bootiacks
from back windows nights at their ia
vorites, and by actual count as many
as fifty birds and one hundred beasts
had been slaughtered to produce the
winter garments in which they were at
tired.

Whittier and the Cabbage.


'Did you everhGar the story of Whit
tier and the cabbage" asked an old
friend yesterday; ''it may have been
told before, but it is worth repeating
now. He hates the odor of cabbage,
like most sensible men, and has n cor
dial horror of the right smell in the
wrong place, as Henry James calls the
fragrance of the dinner in the hallway.
One day, however, a cabbage was cooked
Mt Oak Knoll, and most of it was left
over. In Difference to her cousins oil
factories, the mistress of the house dl
rectcd her cook to put the cold cabbage
on the top shelf in the pantry until the
next day.
"In the course of the afternoon Mr..
Whittier was seen digging in the gar
den. A member of the family asked
him what he was going to do, but he
put her off with merry twinkle IN his
eyes. When, i'll the course of household
events, the cook sought the cabbage, it
was gone. Mr.. Whittier had traced 1T
to its eyrie; he had climbed up and had
borne it away i'll triumph, and, iii deli
ance of domestic economy had buried 1t
in the garden. 1 tell the story us 1T was
