HoMELY COUNSEL,

1t isn't worth while to fret, DEAR
To walk as behind a hearse.
No matter how vexing things may be,
They easily might be worse;
And the time you spend complaining
And grooming about the load
Would better be given TO going on.
And pressing along the road
I've trodden the hill myself, dear
IT'S the tripping tongue can preach,
But though silence is sometimes golden, child
AS oft, there is grace in speech
And / see, from my higher level,
'Tis less the path than the pace
That earles the back and dims the eye
And writes the lines on the face
There are vexing cares enough, dear,
And to spare, when all is told;
And love must mourn its losses,
And the cheeks soft bloom grow old;i
But the spell of the craven spirit
Turns blessing into curse,
While the bold heart meets the trouble
That easily might be worse.
So smile at each disaste.
That will presently pass away,
And believe O bright tomorrow
Will follow the dark today.
There's nothing gained by fretting;
Gather your strength anew,
And step by step go onward, dear,
Let the skies be gray or blue.
Margaret E. Sangster.

A linnet sings soft lays of love
In a forest vast and cool and dim
AS his music rings through the woodlawn
ways,
Wild flowers, listening, smile his praise;
The brooklet is applauding him.
The bird is caught, the bird is Gagged;
his voice is hushed, his song grows mute.
Behind his gilded prison bars
He pines for the forest, the daisies, the stars,
And the streams low murmuring Lutte.
A lInnet sings soft lays of love,
In q painted cage, mid odors sweet.
He ne'er has known another home,
Meier spread his wings meath the sky's blue
dome,
Nor pressed dark grass meath his tiny teet-
The cage is oped, the birding freed;
Stilled are his tones, lost are his lays.
Amidst the woods, beneath the stars,
He pines for his gilded prison bars,
And tho children's words of prnise.

had only to appear naughty and swagger-
ing-pretty enough to eat under this
equipment-to conquer the r~edoubtable
chieftain. The marshal took him astral
die across his knee, called him my jolly
dog" and made glorious promises to him
for his future life.
When you shall be grown up'I will
attach you to my personal staff You
shall fight at my side"
YES, Prince Fanfarinet," warmly an.
swered the future aide-de-camp.
But Murat's face turned dark prince
Fanfarinet?' Might it be by chance q
sobriquet brought in by this innocent
mouth?
why do you call me so2" he asked.
Because in the fairy stories Prince
Fanfarinet is the handsomest of all, and
you resemble him"
"Hai hal Then l am greatly flattered.
And you, how do they call your"
Aurora"
The Princess Aurora2 That is also a
name from the fairy stories. A little boy
is not called by that name"
But l am not q little boy; l am a little
girl, disguised. Ask mamma"
Then, despite the father's despairing
signs and to Murat's great delight and
amusement, the little girl. with all the
frolicsomeness and righteousness of her
age, went on to relate hat she had come
from Paris in n big carriage; that they
Ind encountered bears in the Pyrenees,
and also the Spanish queen, who was
making her escape; and Furthermore, that
they had been greatly frightened in an
i'm, where the innkeeper was killing
hogs, because she and her mamma had
believed that they were assassinating
men; that now they were living up stairs
in beautiful rooms, with silk draperies,
gilt everywhere, but very villainous pic
lures; that among the things there that
she liked was a large mirror in which she
could see herself all over, and also som
playthings which were doubtless aban-
doned by the royal children in their fight.
Captain" said Murat, charmed with
this delightful chatter, lit only remains
for you to present me to Nine. Dupin. |
nav already met her in rance in society.
| have retained the best memories of her
beauty and grace. When a man has such
a family he is not allowed to conceal it.
AS to this little one" he added, caressing
Aurora's cheek, "she is full of wit, she
tells a story with Imagination and an ex-
traordinary charm. 1 shall miss my little
orderly, who showed such u clustering
desire to follow Prince Fanfarinet, but l
shall not be greatly surprised if France
finds in his place a second Nine. de Stael."
Aurora Dupin, become Nine. Dudevant,
was destined to be still greater than De
Stael, for it was she whom the world
knows as George Sand.-Translated from
the French for Boston Transcript.

An Indiana farmer says;"I cure my fod-
der corn in much the same way tobacco is
cured; that is, l cut it only when it is dry
and while it is still in the blossom and let
it lie in the u for a few hours. / then
bind it into bundles and make a shock out
of eight of the bundles. If the weather is
fine 1 let the shocks stand a week in the
field, by which time the fodder will be
well wilted. Then draw it to the barn or
q long shed, separate the bundles and bind
four of them together as near the top of
the corn as can be done without their
slipping out of the band. Then divide
the punches thus made in the middle and
hang over a horizontal pole. Fodder
cured in this way is almost as good as
hay"

A little moro than twenty years ago 1
made my first visit to Scotland. During
my stay in that country l noticed that
among the peasants good health was the
rule; fine, clear compilations, even among
the middle aged; rosy checks, teeth ex-
ceptionally good, and withal a degree of
bodily vigor that was in strange contrast
to u w people. These were conspicu-
GUS features all through the country.
The habits of the working classes We're
simple in every respect. Plain oatmeal
porridge was still a staple on their tables;
so were the oat cakes, and to some extent
the peas-and- barley bread.
A change, however, was at hand; tho
condition of the laboring man had been
improved; better times had come to these
honest t%oilers, and they began to regard
the "halesome parritch" as poor mans
diet. The result was hat the children,
as they grew up, showed back the oatmeal
and milk, and took white Loaf and tea
instead. Very soon the parents followed
the example, and today there is scarcely
g trace of the famous national diet to be
seen on private tables.
Two years ago l saw Scotland again;
twenty years had wrought results that it
was painful to witness-though the causes
were all too obvious. An impoverished and
innutritious diet of bakers bread and tea,
even with a bit of meat or fish added, is
not the material out of which to build up
splendid bodies; there is not the where
with to work on; relatively speaking, it
is starvation diet. Hence the pinched
features. the sallow skins and decaying
teeth. Ailments were common-head-
aches, rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia;
doctors were in demand, and so were their
nostrums. Truly there had been a change,
but not for the better.-Susanna w.
Dodds, M. D., in Demorest's Monthly.

SQUIRRELS AT LARGE,

For Cleveland.

The farmers of Minnesota have strnek
the right lead Mt last. The ringing reso-
lutinns adopted by the Farmers alliance
yesterday, indorsing President Cleve-
lands late annual message, leave no
room to doubt where the farmers of this
state intend to stand on the tariff ques-
ton.
The Republican politicians will make
mouths at the Farmers alliance and call
its executive committee all lsorts of hard
names for taking this decided stand in
favor of tariff reform. But that will
not change the farmers in their opinions
nor in their purposes. One prominent
Republican is reported to have said that
if the alliance had confined itself to the
Endorsement of tariff reform in gen.
eral way, he wouldn't have been set
back so much; but when the resolu.
tions made an explicit Endorsement of
tariff reform as expounded in Mr.. Cleve-
lands message, he looked upon it as q
deliberate purpose on the part of the al
lance to strike blow at the Republican
party. And that is probably just what
the alliance did mean to do. The Re
publican leaders in Minnesota have been
playing hide and seek with the tariff for
years. They put low tariff resolutions
in their state platforms but manage to
put high tariff Republicans in congress

AT the last meeting of the County
Commissioners, the two members present
purchased bridge from the Montana
Cattle company for which trey paid the
sum of $50. This not very large sum,
yet tsome of the people of that community
think ii is great deal more than the
bridge was worth by reason of the fact
that the cattle company built it solely
for their own convenience and because
it sits on railroad land. And further.
more, the Chronicle is informed by
parties who live close by, that the bridge
is insecure and that it would be far
better if it had never been built
and the travellers allowed to 90 by
the road that has been fenced up since
the bridge was put up.

Pigs can see the wind.
Hunters say that the direction in which
the loon flies in the morning will be the
direction OF the wind next day.
Magpies flying three or four together
and uttering harsh cries predict windy
weather.
Anvil shaped clouds are likely to be
followed by gale of wind.
The vernal eqninoctial gales are strong

If it blows in the day it generally
bushes toward evening.

If the full moon rises red expect wind,
A very red sky in the east at sunset

The West Side Delegate.

cordancc with the views ofthe Territorial
Convention rs to the nominee, Under
like conditions. we propose the name of
ex-Judge Galbraith. He needs no
further mention. He is thorough Re-
publican. and is "the old man eloquent"
of the party of Montana. He is personally
favorable of Allison. While we doubt
hit is yet developed who is the better
man to nominate for President from the
many worthy and available M IN in the

Preparing the Way for Blaine.

There is growing opinion in the east
that Chauneey NJ. Depew is being pushed
to the front as stalking horse for
Blaine. Among thoughtful republicans
everywhere the possibility of Mr..
Depew's being the choice of the Chicago
convention is regarded as preposterous
His nomination would make the election
of Cleveland walk over. There is no
hope of success in the candidacy of the
attorney of the New York Central &
Hudson River railroad and the heir to
responsibility for the sentiment "The
public be damned !' And yet we are
t,ld that Mr.. Depew will be the favorite
OF New York. Pennsylvania, and the
New England states In the convention of
June lS.
In looking for an explanation of this
political puzzle it is interesting to read
in the New York Tribune's report of the
meeting ofthe New York state committee
that the drift of republican talk shows
that sin spite of his lett,r of withdraw
Mr.. Blaine is still the hvorite with
large, strong, earnest. and growing ele.
ment of the party" The chairman of
the committee said that Personally
Mr.. Depew's election would be most
gratifying to me /; but Mr.. Depew is for
Mr.. Blaine" Then. he made the signifi-
cent remark: II don't think any citizen
has right to seek or decline the nomin-
alton ofhis party for the presidency"
This is double back-acting statement
which strikes Sherman, Allison, Harri-
son, ETC., between the eyes and notifies
Mr. Blaine that he has no rights which
the republican party is bound to respect.
Not even the right to decline.
When the republican convention finds
that it cannot choose between all the ia.
vorite sons submitted for its approval
for the sake of harmony how simple it
will be to spring the name OF James G.
Blaine upon the delegates. For this are
the republican clubs working throughout
the west, and for this it seems likely
that Depew delegates will come from the
east.-News.

THE WEST GALLATIN DITCH,

ment published this week that the pro.
jectors of the West Gallatin Ditch Com.
pany are making an effort to nut this
laudable enterprise on its feet again.
The agreement will be circulated among
the farmers interested and the business
men who desire to see the scheme car
ried out, and it is confidently believed
that enough money can be scared right
here at home to complete the enterpr Use
fraught with 80 much good for this sec
tion. The West Gallatin ditch IS one of
the things needed; it would pay from
the start, reclaim vast area of land,
and increase the tillable acreage of this
valley to vast extent. 1t would make
it impossible for crops to be failure for

is universal desire to see it built at

that all will extend their aid to this en-.

In the telegraph columns of the Inde-
pendent of Wednesday was a dispatch
from Miles City concerning decision in
the case of a man arraigned under the
general charge of cruelty to ANIMALS
The ordinance upon which the suit was
brought was copied from the Helena or.
dinance on the subject, and says "cruel-
ly beat or otherwise abuse any animal.n
1t seems that the defendant in the case
at Miles City left his horse standing out
in the cold all night without food, water
or blanket. Still, the case was dism issed
because the court held that according 70
the ordinance, some active abuse to the
animal must be alleged and that passive
neglect could not be so construed. A re.
porter for the Independent asked City
Attorney Botkin yesterday what he
thought of the decision, ard whether he
deemed the ordinance ineffective. Il do
not think much of the decision" said
he. IF leaving horse out in the cold
all night without food or water is not
otherwise abusing an animal, I'd like to
know what it is. The ordinance is all
right, and I can make any case that
comes up under 1t stick. Any court in
the country will decide it that way -

able ofbeing utilized for coking purposes

eastern portion of Gallatin. The Rocky
Fork is an excellent fuel coal and the

it must be admitted if the Sun River

at the close it was found to be only one.
sided, A. P. Clark, the Republican nom-
inee, receiving q larger majority than
ever before, and he has held the office
for several years. One cause for this
was the fact that large number of men
were allowed to vote under the proyi.
sinns of the late law who were
heretofore prohibited by the prop.
erty qualification clause of the
Bozcman charter. Many of these
were young men who belong to the fire
department, Of which Mr.. Clark is chief.
