Reports From the Range.

A meddlesome and malicious skunk once
got on a new range, where such "varmints'
were unusual. He foraged m~ischievously
and pr omiscuously until he nipped the heel
Of an unsuspecting and amiable old Taurus,
who was Illuminating In a quiet corner.
When the dilapidated skunk was scraped to.
together by his hungering and eager confed'
crates, they asked him if the cyclone was
general. "Cyclone be hanged it was that
''Sacred Bull" kicked me !" Didn't you retail
late ?" "Aye; Intellectually, but heroically
If you don't think So, sniff my trail"
The fresh editor of the Independent, who
claims to have done chambermaid work for a
sacred COW in a dime museum until the ami
NAL, out Of self-respect, fled to the hills, is
nosing around after a similar job with "the
Sacred Bull of Montana" Begone! You are
unclean. A.. @.m".M. .=.
At the recent range meeting it was unani-
mously adopted that it IS permissible, under
suspension Of the rules, to fight the devil
with his own fire.

evidently embittered against any one who
has lived in Montana three months or more.
These old timers have 10 apology to offer
any one for having been here since earlier
days. They greet with good will all good
willing people who may come, and none
such ever found it else. But the old timers
got rid of bad elements among them by quick
process, and have no respect or welcome af-
ter they have found them out, for the vicious
malicious and dirty drift that now comes in
