Not many moons ago, there lived in the

great and CORY chieftain, His name was
Charles Carson, heir apn lrently to the
Royal succession in the office of Probate
Judge. Charles with all his royalty, was
not proud neither was he pulled up.
When he first came to Montana he FIJI
lowed the humble avocaiion of running
a Democratic papar, which is proof posi-
tive that he iii mt vaunt himself. At
forwards he was elected Probate Jad &c,
by those who hal II grud:e against the
county, and in this position he achieved
fame and would have made good hack
at fortune, but hi, little scheme was
nipped by the county commissioners ere
it had bloomed. Our artist has portray
ed Carson during that period
when he was in the scalping
business, and the eager, expectant
cast of countenance but partially
elucidates his real feelings, as eael hunt.

son pocketcd the fees.
But alas there came sad day. The
county commissioners concluded that
Charles was getting more money than
he was allowed to get. He WAS prema-
tu,e ely thrifty and they called halt.

once naughty chief, will be engaged in

lish paper, they were first used for very
different purpose. This is what it says:
persons of observsnt turns of mind
have noticed two or three buttons on the
cuffs Of military coats, but few know the
origin and reason of this custom. They
were first worn by soldiers in the Eng
fish army. The first uniform coats in
the English army had no buttons on the
cuffs, and the soldiers used to draw the
cuff of the coat across their nose or
mouth on every occasion when pocket
handkerchief or napkin might have been
called into requisition. As matter of
course, the cuff became shiny and defac-
ed. Punishment and reprimand were
tried, but they did not stop this habit,
and at last board of officers met, and
they suggested the buttons on the sleeve,
which was adopted. The buttons we're
first worn on the top of the sleeve, but
they have moved backward as the hand
kerchief has moved forward"
