Horse thieves are not all exterminated
as yet. 1t may be prudent for ranch
owners around Great Falls to be on their
guard According to the Benton River
Press, two itinerant cowboys, known as
Stewart Russell and Dave Adams went
Systematically to work in that city Satur
day afternoon to carry out plan which
they had been maturing for some time.
They hired, it appears, one horse at Oscar
Johnson's stable and another from Lewis
stable and rode on the range in the vicini-
ty of the Teton, where there was herd
of horses grazing. They selected two,
roped them and secreted them in the
beighborhood Of town and rode back
They did their work quick and fast, for
when the livery horses were returned
they were wringing wet with Precipitation.
About 8 o'clock at night they crossed the
ferry to the south side of the river, hav-
ing one of the stolen horses packed and
the other rugged with saddle and bride.
Here they found another horse, saddled
and bridled, tied near Ed. Smiths resi-
dence, which animal belonged to Henry
NeihoH, and had been left there by John
Wilson. They took this animal also.
The men were last seen with the three
horses about 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
as they passed ranch on the Shonkin,
going east toward Arrow creek and the
Judith basin. 1t also appears that Satur-
day night one saddle, the property of
John Mcclellan, was stolen from Power
q Bros stable, and it is belived these
men took it.

WARNER
The Flesh Of Diseased Animals.

1t is held by many (even among
those who are not vegetarians) that
some serious diseases which now eff
feet the human family would be pre-
vented if animal food were not part
OF human susteEance. 1t is urged
that flesh derived from diseased ami
mails finds its way freely into the hui
man body, and that by it's introduce
ton diseases are introduced. The
fact that the flesh of diseased ami
mails does find its wayinto the market
and on the table is beyond question.
Our wise and discerning Jewi sh breth-
rem have taught us this truth in UNI
mistakable form. They, in obedience
to their ancient law, have oil their
animal food duly inspected. Their
returns on the subject are worth re-
cording. In 1878 out of22, 30S oxen
killed in London no fewer than 1885
or nearly third, were rejected as
diseased. Out of 1880 calves 7S5
were rejected Out of Al, $50 sheep
1909 were rejected. In the year
1870, in the course of 80 weeks, out
of IL total of %, 1897 oxen 9,531 were
rejected; out ola total of3 SOL calves
OPS were rejected; of 3s,302 sheep
IL 1926 were rejected. In 1880, from
July to Dec. 25-25weeks-out of
3,116 oxen 6,143 were rejected. OF
calves numbering 1 ,064 as many as
ga were rejected; and out of 10, 743
sheep 5,535 were refused for food be-
cause of the presence of disease. If
this analysis be applied to the ami
NAL food consumed outside the jew
ish pale in the United Kingdom,
about one-third of such food gives
some evidence of disease; so that
flesh eaters who are not Jews are par
taking of diseased flesh during four
months of each year of their lives.
The information is startling when it
is put forward in this plain and un-
vanished way. Fortunately, it is
qualified by the correction that in
( ile process of cooking the diseased
eat the evil consequences are very
brgely removed. Still, it is not a
leasant subject for refiection.-Rich-
rdson, in Longman's Magazine.

The nsmaeratle Moadehnet Hunt.

The explanation the boy gave for digging
% zealousiy at woodchuck hole, that the
Minister was coming TO dinner and the family
was out OF meat, has been used to give point
to good many arguments. IL was never
used with more effect, however, than IL can
be TO illustrate the embarrassing situation
the Democratic organs have been in since the
Republican presidential nomination was
made The need Of campaign "meat" was
apparent as soon as the telegraph announced
the composition of the ticket, and hot hunt
was at once begun in every Democratic news
paper office for any sign Of woodchuck.
The record of General Harrison on the
Chinese question appeared to offer the best
prospect Of finding woodchuck, and, accord
ingiy, the famished Democrats went for that
woodchuck hole with zeal that put to
shame the boy whose household was out o
meat. Spades, shovels picks and muck
rakes were hastily seized and a concerted at
tack begun. For a time the fresh earth flew
merrily and the workers were encouraged by
what they thought was whisk of the wood
chuek's tail ora CLEAN of a pair OF terret-like
eyes. But no woodehuck could be found
and they were growing weary when
they heard merry laugh from over the
Rocky mountains, and voice say: "Ho
woodchuek in that hole, boys. We're entire
ly satisfied with Harrison's record. No use
digging any longer"
So the excavation around the Chinese
Aperture was hastily abandoned and the
whole woodehueks hunting crowd rushed

Within the Century.

1t is rather more likely than not
lat the old men of this period, those

hich crossed the Atlantic Ocean,
as~i from the port of Savannah on
the Goth of May, 1919 arrived at
Liverpool on the following goth of
June, but it was nearly twenty years
later, or just fifty years ago on April
Odd, that the real steam ferriage of
the Atlantic was inaugurated by the
arrival Mt New York of the steam
ship Sirius and Great Western with
in few hours of each other, the first
of which sailed from Cork on the 4th
and the latter from Bristol on the
Sth of April, 1888. The Savannah,
twenty years before part sail and
steam(had taken twenty-six days to
make the passage. The Great West
ern was fifteen days between port and
port, but now the same voyage is
made inless than seven days by some
OF the new ocean racers. The devel-
opment of the uses of the power of
steam alone is suggestive as any
thing need be of the material pro-
gress of the century, but to it must
be added the jacquard loom, the
magnetic telegraph, the cotton gin,
the power loom, the screw propeller

march of chemistry, and in the heal

A Thousand Years Ago.

From the Secular Review.
An old author gives this sketch OF
matters at that time: In the year
500 after Christ what was the state
of Europe? The Goths, Nlsigoths,
the yandals, the Franks, the Huns,
the Normans, the Turks and other
barbarian hordes, and invaded and
overthrow the Roman Empire and
had established various kingdoms
upon its ruins. These hordes of saw
ages had destroyed not only all the
works of civilization, but civilization
itself, ignorant as they were ofevery-
think that distinguishes and eleyates
human nature, they broke up the
schools. abolished arts and manufac-
lures, ruined the monuments, pre-
vented commerce and reduced the
cono,lred nations to their own condl-
ton. inaugurating in the most COM
plete manner the reign of the brute
force and mental darkness. AT the

A Joke On A Joker

A good story is related at the ex-
pense of hotel proprietor at Ia,
coma, Washington Territory. A
stranger who had been stopping at
the house for a few weeks, asked the
proprietor how far it was to Mount
Rainier, which appeared to be O
couple of miles distant, although, in
fact, it was nearly 100. The pro-
prietor winked at the bystanders,
and said that perhaps it was a mile
away. The boarder said he believed
that he would walk out to it for ex-
ercise. The landlord encouraged the
s.tenderfoot," who, after borrowing
the proprietor's fine field glass, i'm
mediately started. The joke was too
rich for the hotel man TO keep, and
he treated all hands. But the pedes-
trian did not return. The landlord
at last became suspicious and found
that the valise which the ''tenderfoot'
had left was filed with briek-bats,
and that he had carried off seventeen
towels and everything ese that he
could get into his pockets. Besides
this he owed a two-week's board bill
He is probably still walking.

Fights With Large Snakes.

Marion Earnest and Frank Hedge,
two well known citizens ofMontpeiler,
Ind, SILVER yet when they speak OF
their adventure. Early in the
morning they shouldered their
guns and started out cunning.
While beating about a four-acre
swamp they suddenly saw monster
snake ofthe "blue racer" kind rushing
toward them, with it's head well back
and its flashing eyes darting veno-
nous glances into their faces. A
shudder ran through their bodies
from head to foot. Both of them had
had double-barrel shot-guns, but
had no thought of these as they ran
for dear life, until retreat was cut off
by high fence. Then Hedge turned,
brought his gun to his shoulder and
shot the snake, which was only q
few yards away. 1t measured nearly
seven feet in length, and had been
stirred to such an unwonted display
of courage by the fact that it had
nothing to eat for a week or more.
While A. II. Washburn, who lives
tenmiles north of Quitman, Ga, was
passing around the back of his
plantation, accompanied by two dogs
one a bulldog, the other small
one-the small dog was suddenly
attacked by a monster rattlesnake,
which sprang upon him and held him
to the ground with his mouth. The
larger dog, seeing the trouble, went
bravely TO the rescue. The snake
Immediately released the small dog
and sprang for the larger one, biting
in the neck. Mr.. Washburn had in
the meantime got hold of q fence
rail, and started for the scene of bat
tie. On seeing Mr.. Washburn, the
snake left the dogs and sprang for
him. The old gentleman backed a
a few steps, and, gathering his ener-
gies, struck at his snakeship with the
rail. Therail took effect on The snakes
head and stunned him. Then Mr..
Washburn got in his work, and in
few minutes killed the reptile. The
snake was as large as mans thigh
and seven feet long, an old settler
evidently. Strange to say, the small
dog recovered, but the large bulldog
died the. next day..-Louisyille
