ON THE DOORSTEP,

The conference meeting through at last,
We boys around the vestry waited
To see the girls come tripping past
Like snowbirdS willing to be mated
Not brayer he that leaps the wall
By level massachusetts litten
Than ], who stepped before them all,
Who longed to see me ge: the miiten.
But no she blushed and took my ann!
We let the old folks have the highway
And started toward the Maple Farm
Along kind OF lovers by-way.
I can't remember what we said,
Twas nothing worth a song or story,
Yet tina. rude path by which we sped
Seemed all transformed and in a glory.
The snow wss crisp beneath our feet,
The moon was full, the fields were cleaning
BY hood and tlpPet sheltered sweet,
Her face with youth and health was beaming.
The little hand outside her muff--
o. sculptor, if you could but mold II =
So lightly touched my jacketcuff.
To Keep it warm had 10 hold it.
To have her with me there alone
Twas love and fear and triumph blended.
At last we reached the foot-worn stone
Where that delicious journey ended.
The old folks, too, were almost home:
Her dimpled hand the latcheS fingered,
We heard the voices nearer come,
Yet on the doorstep still we fingered.
She shook her Tinglets from her hood.
And with Thank you, Ned, dissembled
But yet knew she understood
with what daring wish trembled.
A cloud passed kindly overhead.
The moon was slyly peeping through it,
Yet hid its face, as if it said.
Come, now or never do ii do it I"
My lips till then had only known
The kiss OF mother and of sister
But somehow, full upon her own
Sweet, rosy darling mouth kissed her.
Perhaps twas boyish love, yet still

To feel once more that fresh. wild thrill

The situation is an embarrassing one.
1t presents the phases of the problem
which Montana is about 20 grasp. How
long can Captain Higgins hold that ditch
and that water supply? Can the city of
Missoula interfere in any way with his
property? Captain Higgins has what is
called poSSeSsory title He has filed
with the county officials a record stating
that he made this ditch, appropriated
certain amount of water and claims
1t. Thus far the custom of the country
sustains him in his possession. People
take the water from the ditch under con-
tract and pay him stipulated sums. There
Is no contest. Captain Higgins charges
enough to keep the ditch in repair and
does not try to make money out of it.
But there is nothing to prevent him from
charging what he pleases.
1t Is very evident that as the irrigation
system develops there will arise contests
If irrigation will make of a worthless
desert agricultural land, worth from $50 10
$40 an acre, it will not be long until capi
tai will be monopolizing the water in the
larger streams. Dams and bitches will
divert rivers from their courses. Conflicts
will arise. Lives have already been lost
IN Montana in disputes over water rights.
An elaborate and carefully. RECONSTRUCTED irri
cation code will be one of the first things
demanded of the new State Government.

All on "Der One Living Chance,

He was only stable boy, as hardened
and unholy as they make them, yet he was
an immense favorite with patron and pro-
prietor alike a! the Monmouth track, and
especially with his fellows of the Morris
stables. Recently stricken with a very
grievous disease, yesterday his physician
told him that medicine and science could
do nothing more for him. While quickly
realizing that he was fast covering the
home stretch OF life, with the death wire,
as it were, plainly visible, the ruling pass
ion in the confding and always courageous
youth thus portrayed itself:
What's my chance, Doe"
Not worth mentioning, my boy"
"One in twenty, you s'pose?"
"Oh, no."
" In thirty ?"
"No."
Fifty, then ?"
" l think not"
" A hundred ?"
"W-well, perhaps there might be one in

Thought in the mind hath made US. What we

Hath evil thoughts, pain comes on him as comes
The wheel the OK behind.
All that we are is what we thought and willed
Our thoughts shape us and frame. II one en-
dure
In purity of thought, joy follows him
As his own shadow sure.
." He ha DETAINED me, wronged me- injured

Thoughts like these angry words within his
Hatreds viii never sleep.
q" He hath DETAINED me, wronged me, injured
me
Abased me, beaten mel" Ifone shall send
such angry words away for pardoning thoughts.
HatredS will have an END.
For never anywhere at any time
Did hatred cease by hatred Always it's
By love that hatred ceases only love;
The ancient law is this.
The many, who are foolish have forgot
Or never knew, how mortal wrongs pass by;
But they who know and who remember, let
transient quarrels die.
Whose abides, looking for Joy, uuschooled
Gluttonous, weak, in idle luXuries,
Mara viii overthrow him, as fierce winds
Level shortrOoted trees.
Whose abides, disowning joys, controlled,
Temperate, faithful, strong stunning all i'll,
Mara shall no more overthrow that man
Than the wind doth a hill.
Whose Kashya wears, the yellow robe,
Being anishkahsya, not sin-free,
Nor needing truth and goyernance; unfit
To wear that dress is he.
But whose being nishkashya, pure,
Clean from otfense, doth i'll in virtues dwell,

Neareth Kashya well,
Whose imagines truth in the untrue.
And in the true finds untruth he expires
Never 6nding knowledge life is waste

Whose discerns in truth the true, and sees

Aims well before it DIES.

And mourneth in the world to come in both
He grieveth. When he sees the fruits OF his

The righteous man rejoiceth in this world
and IN the world to come in both he takes
Pleasure. When he shall see fruit of his works
The good sight gladness makes.
Glad is he living. glad in dying, glad
Having once died glad always, glad to know
What good deeds he hath done, glad TO foreseC

FIRST EFFORTS AT IRRIGATION.

tllNSl Ell EOIN1S Al 1hhlJAllON.
As long ago as 1860, which was very
early IN Montana history, Christopher ?.
Higgins came through here from the Pa
cifc coast. He was freighting He noted
the level benches at the junction of the
Bitterroot and Missoula rivers. The
mountain brooks tumbling down the can
yons and finding their way to the larger
streams did not escape his observant eyes
Mr.. Higgins said to himself that when he
settled down in life here he would make
his home. -Four years afterwards he came
and staked out farm. There were no
surveys, and he ran the lines to suit him
self. He went up the nearest canyon and
led off so much of the water as he desired
into n ditch along the side of the hill
down to the bench on which he had To-
Gated He irrigated his land, raised every
thing that he wanted, and was contented.
Settlers attracted by the same conditions
that had pleased Mr.. Higgins focked in,
until at an early period this became one of
the most popuious sections of the Territory
outside of the mining camps. The Bitter
root valley opens upon the MisSoula here
1t is a famous stretch of agricultural land
along the Bitterroot river, from FIVE to ten
mites WIuS, Will OCCdSlOlal HdrrOWS, ana
extending northward into the mountains
ninety miles. So far as individual irriga-
tion can go, the valley is occupied By
that it is meant that the water and the
land which can be utilized through such
ditching as a farmer can do alone have
been taken. But there is field of great
possibilities for combined effort. About all
that is within reach of an individual is the
tapping of mountain brook and the
building of ditch of a mile or so to con-
duct the water to his fields. An associa-
| ton or company can dam one of these
rivers, lead off the water in considerable
volume and, by lengthening the distance,
can bring under irrigation higher levels,
which are as yet unoccupied
This kind of work has just begun in the
Bitterroot valley. Farmers are organizing
companies, and by combined effort are
building canals on larger scale and OF
greater length than have heretofore been
attempted. The mountain brooks have
long been utilized, but there is an abund-
ance of water in the rivers to distribute.

EXECUTION BY GAS.

In one of to days papers | read
that in neighboring town appli-
cation has been vainly made to
Mr.. Edison and various electric
light companies to provide for the
killing of stray dogs by electricity.
In Europe it is we'll known that
for this purpose carbonic acid gas
is often used. That reminds one
that clever chemist the other
day ridiculed execution by cleo
tricity as a crude and bungling
method of quickly and humanely
depriving a human being of life.
The really scientific way to cause
death is by carbonic acid gas. All
the apparatus needed would be to
have built one air tight cell above
another with connecting tube
and stopcock between them. The
gas, which is very cheap, should
be put in the upper chamber, and
the prisoner, with a good cigar, If
you like, on the lounge in the
lower. On turning the cock the
gas would descend, and first slum-
Der and then death would ensue
very quickly and absolutely pain
lessly. Compared with this the
electrical appliances, with helmet
and foot pieces, ane damp sponges,
and chair especially constructed,
are absurdly elaborate and curious
ly barbarous.-Bo Tran script.

OBEYED ORDERS LITERALLY.

The Federal and Confederate
forces were preparing for battle.
The Federal commander and his
staff, seated upon their horses,
were consulting near the right of
the line drawn up in the edge of
the woods. Gen. Neal Dow was
standing in front Of his command,
very small man with a tremendi-
ously big hat on his head and a
monstrous sword at his side. An
aid told Gen. Dow (perhaps he was
only Col. Dow then) that the com
mander wished to see him. Gen.
Dow strobe down the line, the
soldiers laughing at the sight.
Gen. Dow," said the COM
mander, ''you will march out into
that opening yonder, take a posi-
ton on that knoll and hold it until
further orders''-something to that
effect.
In sight of the entire right wing
of the army, Gen. Dow wentmarch-
ing into the opening, his long,
heavy sword clanking on the
ground behind him, his big hat
making him look like grasshopper
under toadstool. The command
er heard the army laughing and
looked for the cause.
"Who is that walking across the
opening2" he asked.
ssThat is Gen. Dow," said every
body.
An aid was sent to bring him
back.
"Gen. Dow," said the command
er, ''why did you go out there
alone? Why did YOU not take your
command with yous"
"Dear me, general" said Dow,

NOT A GLARING SUCCESS.

Prohibition in Kansas seems
not to be such a glaring success
Judging from the following taken
from the telegraphic reports from
Wichita:
Another war upon the joints
was declared by the authorities
to-day, sixteen state warrants fol
liquor sellers being sworn out by
the county attorney. The first
joint raided was owned by we'll
known druggist, James Fahey,
and the arrest occasioned consid.
cradle excitement. Several kegs
and large number of bottles OF
beer were captured and their con
tents emptied into the gutter be.

TANNERS SUCCESSOR.

All questions as to who should
be Corporal Tanners successor in
the pension office has been settled
today by the appointment by
President Harrison Of Green Berry
Raum, of Illinois, ex-commissioner
of internal revenue.
General Raum is staunch re-
publican and has a brilliant war
record. At the opening of the late
civil war he was ''war" democrat.
Subsequently he entered the army
as major of the Fifty-sixth Illinois
regiment and was promoted lieu
tenant colonel, colonel and brevet
brigadier general. He was made
brigadier general of volunteers on
February Is, 1865, which COM
mission he resigned on May 6 fol-
lowing. He served under General
Rosecrans i'll the Mississippi cam
paign of 1862. At the battle of
Corinth he ordered and led the
charge that broke the confederate
left and captured a battery. He
was with Grant at Vicksburg and
was wounded in the Missippi cam
paign. He was i'll number of
otLer campaigns where he dis
tingusshed himself.
He served term in congress,
and on August 2, 1876, was ap-
pointed commissioner of internal
revenue, which Office he held until
May 81, 1887. His integrity is un-
questionable. During his term in
the revenue office he collected
$S5O,O0O,OOO and disbursed $780,
100000 without any loss.
He is brilliant man and con-
sistent veteran, in whose hands the
pension department. will be hon.
estly, carefully and satisfactorily
conducted.-Telegram, 10Th.
