the horse, but know nothing of his dam:

her. The horse is owned near me. His

have got him to the credit of Stison.

find out. He was the fastest horse ever
sat behind; was never trained. except
what little he was driven on the road to

The pedigree recorded in the stud
books of dams of "Maid of Clay" are no
worse than a great many others. The
stud books are profitable financial in
vestment, the same as Joe Smiths gold
bible was, and defies truth as much as
Mormonism (the outgrowth of Joe
Smiths gold bible) now defies the Unit
ed States government.
You quote from Vol. IN, page l95,
what | said about dam of Geo. NJ.
Patchin." 1t is correct except spelling
of prominent names of SchueifeliR q
Brddhurst. They should be spelled as |
here give them. 1t has been the Ardb
blood of Clay which made trot from any
kind of mare, and the same Arab blood
made Morgan trot. SO long as the Clay
blood in the sire il all right dams may be
recorded as "catch fillies," or anything
the stud books may please. 1t is the
blood that tells and not printers ink in
stud books.

Some have tried to stigmatize the Blue
Bulls as "quitters." The answer to this
is easy. If a stallion can rise from OBJ
scuriry and put more of his get into the
= 30 list than any other horse. there is no
better place to quit than when he is lead
ing all other sires, living or dead.
\ combination of circumstances had
much to do in giving Blue Bull undying
fame. A freak of nature saved him for
sire. One testicle was carried inter-
nally, and the colt was foaled before VET
Urinary science understood. so well as
now, how to overcome the difficulty.
Probably this saved him from becoming
geldng. When tracks and suliies were
being introduced in his locality Blue Bull
was showing speed. pacing under the
saddle upon the road. And when the
temptation was arising to put him on the
turf, his knee cap was broken by the
kick of mare, and Blue Bull was rele-
gated to the stud for the remainder of
his life and became the king of trotting
sires.

of John Anson, who was also machinest.
Clispy was confirmed opium smoker

his daughter. This morning Clispy went
to Anson's house while the family were
at breakfast. Angry words passed be-
tween the men, when Clispy drew re-

Plain Facts,

The following extract from an article
in the American economist, by the Hon.
Robert P. Porter, is part of a plain and
pointed exposition of the advantages of
protection:
In spite of all attempts to prove the
contrary, the American laborer, with the
exception of portion of the old slave
labor of the south, in every industry, in
every trade, in every production, in every
occupation, no matter how humble, re-
mains the best paid, the most intelligent,
with better opportunities to get along in
the world than his kin beyond the sea-.
In spite of all attempts to prove that the
protective system unduly initiates values
and makes business enterprises hazard
Gus, the fact remains that as soon as the
question was settled for four years be-
yond doubt, by the election of Benjamin
Harrison, British capital began actively
seeking investment in the industries of
this protective country of ours, and all
forms of industrial life became suddenly
inspired with new vigor. In spite of in
genious attempts to arouse the farming
communities against protection by the
shallow claim that manufacturers alone
are benefited by protection, the fact re-
mains that where manufactures run along
the lines of agriculture there you find
the value Of land enchanced, the price of
farm products in 'reased and prosper
GUS and progressive as we'll as an intelli-
gent and contented community.
In spite of the assertions that the farm
er is "robbed" and "taxed" on all he buys
in consequence Of the tariff, the fact re-
mains that all the staple articles he pur-
chases are third and one-half cheaper
now than twenty-five years ago, the cost
to the consumer having steadily declined
as the production became more general
at home.

were in attendance and the dance was

boisterous or ungentlemanly in the least

night.
The Arion people, with their wonted hos
pitality, served their guests with free
lemonade and magnificent lunch and
spared no pains in seeing that everyone
in attendance engaged themselves to the
fullest extent.
Taking it all in all the occasion was
one of the noted events of the season and
great credit is due our German friends
for the mastery way in which the whole
affair was conducted. Mr.. Nalbach, the
tailor was master of ceremonies and with
his usual thoughtfulness and amiable-
ness made everyone feel perfectly al
home.
This was the first private ball for The
Arion's of the season and should they
continue, We predict for the society 8
most highly successful and satisfactory
career in the future.
The proceeds will be used in purchas,

alone can serve such delicacies. after
which the following letter was read:

youths, who in building castles of our then pros-
peetive town, Great Falls, did not overlook the
domestic affairs, but wagered this set for the one
who first freed himself from the chain of baehe,-
ordom. In seeing our city grow in wealth and
productiveness. it gives us great pleasure in see

self from our band. We NEST heartily consratn.

and was wager between Mr.. Roberts
and the gentleman whose names appear
at the bottom of the letter. The bet was
made with the condition that the one who
flrst took unto himself wife should re-
ceive from the other three fine chamber
set. Therefore, as Mr.. Roberts was the
lucky man, the forlorn old fellows had
to both "put up and shut up" Mr..

newly married folks f!ne photo of their

ture, each one declaring that Mr.. Roberts

most estimable bride and wished he and
his fair companion long lease of life
