MONTANA TITLE TEARING.
Much Litigation Probable Over Disput,

Much Litigation Probable Over Disputed
Titles.
Considerable of o sensation has been
created in Montana by tie exposure of q
land scheme which threatens several prop.
erty holders in Helena, Great Falls and
Anaconda. At all of these places tho title
to some valuable town property rests on
tho original location Of homesteads filed
on by proxy under soldiers scrip or what
is known as additional homestead scrip.
These lands, comprising the Central Park
and Royce additions to Helena, were
located by attorneys in fact under this sort
of scrip years ago. Last year the courts
of Kansas, California and Arkansas held
such locations invalid and the sec.
r~etaries Of the interior have alter
nately upheld and cancelled such en-
tries for several years. These facts wero
taken advantage Of by one II. G. Davies,
an obscure lawyer of Helena, who went
east recently, sought out the men whose
scrip had been used for these locations
and got deeds from them to the lands
named. The property is worth millions.
Davies now threatens tho owners with law
suits unless they pay him what he demands
for quitclaim deeds to the property. Peo-
pie are very indignant over the matter,
but Davies claims to have the law on his
side, and has already received money from
several whose titles ore menaced. Davies
came from Arkansas a year ago with the
attorney generals endorsement for chief
justice of Montana, but Cleveland did not
appoint him. He then settled down to
law practice in Helena. Ills scheme prom
ses to bring about a good deal of costly
litigation.

The German Servant Girl,

The German servant girl has no
bangs MOI bangles, nor fur-lined coats,
nor four-buttoned kid gloves. She is
square-shouldered, heavy-featured and
large-limbed. She is neither clean,
quick nor intelligent, but she can work.
She has the strength of an OK, and is
always willing to use it. Most servant
girls in German cities are peasants.
Daughters of the poorer town-bred
families usually become factory hands,
shop girls Or mattresses.
The conservative peasants, however,
with their old prejudices in favor Of
everything feudal, prefer domestic sery-
ices for their children to any employ
ment. As soon as the PEASANTS daugi-
ter is IA or Is years old she learns how
to split wood, hoe potatoes and plant
cabbages. She milks the COW before
breakfast, bitches her to the pillow after
breakfast. and often turns burrows all
the morning under the direction of her
father, who, in the meanwhile, smokes
q pipe and rests. She nov hay and
digs water trenches.
During the harvest she carries great
basketfuls Of vegetables from the fields
to the barn on her back. When her
younger sister becomes old enough to
help her parents to work the little
farm, however, the eldest daughter loses
her grip on her fathers heart. She is
regarded by him as an incumbrance.
for nothing is more useless in the eyes
of a German peasant than a grown
daughter who does not earn her living.
Therefore. If no Hans or Fritz w;shoa
