PAUL AND HIS CHICKEN.

How Young plymouth Rock Managed
to Get a Living without Scratching fol

THAT old hen wuns away from my
little chickabiddy all the timer cried
Paul, climbing up the steps OF the cool
vine-shaded back veranda, where his
pretty, sweet mamma was canning
cherries. What do you fink he will dc
now?"

"But he don't scwatch for hisself.
The wobin-wedbweast scwatches fos
him."
''How is that?" asked mamma, open
ing her blue eyes very wide at her little
boy, fearing he was telling wrong
story.
HE takes the worms the wobin-wed-
bweasts finds for his little ones up in
the cherry-tree nest See therer'
Mamma looked out upon the croquet-
ground, and there, sure enough. on the
close green turf was bright, plump
robin-redbreast, braced back on his
slim black legs, pulling a fine fat an
gle-worm out of the damp soil, and a
yard away stood the scrawny Plymouth
Rock chickabiddy, with his long half
fiedged neck stretched out, watching
the exploit with great anxiety.
No sooner did the robin have his
hard-earned prize dangling and wrig-
Cling in his bill taan chickabiddy gave
a spring and a squawk, robin dropped
the worm. and quick as wink chicka-
biddy gobbled it np
well, never" said mamma, with a
surprised laugh.
He does it ever so many times, said
Paul, wisely; ''asld there are so many
wobins here at Cherry farm, he doesn't

1t is because you have not been that

Jack worked away, doing such good
work as he became more and more ac-

who seemed always kindly interested

Mr.. Hills way of doing things, even
though he showed an increasing dispo-

So the boy trudged through the three
years, at the end of them having been
trusted far more than is usually the
case with errand boys. He had never
forgotten the offer made by Mr.. Lang.
and one day, meeting that gentleman
on the street, ventured to remind him
that his present engagement was nearly
out, adding:
"You spoke to me about driving the
wagon, sir"
"Ah, so did, but You are older now
and worth more. Call round and see
me-"
One Saturday evening soon after,
Jack fingered in Mr.. Hills Office after
the other errand boys had been paid
and gone away.

went on-''my mother is widow, and

Jack told him what Mr.. Lang had

Jack, with a smile.

CHAIRMAN CLARKSoN writes an article
for the New York Recorder, in which he
declares that the tide of immigration
from the city to the country has set in.
We would like to know where he gets
his authority for such a statement. Su-
perintendent Porter's census figures
certainly do not show it, and the re-
verse is true the world over. The CEN
u Of Great Britain which has lust
been taken shows that even in the new
Australian communities the tendency
of population is to leave the country for
the towns. Mr.. Strangways, EXPIRE
mier Of Western Australia, who has
been studying the causes of this move
ment, accounts for the tendency city
ward Of the broad general theory that
man IN the colonies, as elsewhere, is a
%gregarious animal. "The men," he OBJ
serves, run after one another and the
women run after the men. The Young
OF Doth sexes want society. They want
to see for themselves something of the
pomps and vanities OF this wicked
world and are not content to be guided
by the experience and opinions of their
elders, many of whom had probably, in
their day, thoroughly enjoyed these
amusements and excitements which
they have renowned and denounced in
their later lives"
The same causes hold good in the
United States, but more than that,

THE SHERIDAN MONUMENT,
A Generous Gift to the Fund From an Old

A Generous Gift to the Fund From an Old
Prussian Soldier.
The suggestion in The INDEPENDENT that
many Montanians doubtless would like an
opportunity to contribute toward the COM
pletion of the Sheridan monumen fund has
brought forth many inquiries as to whom
contributions should be sent. While no
definite action has been taken as yet it is
probable that some of our Grand Army posts
would receive and turn over any subscrip-
tions. Mr.. L. Sutor. an old Prussian SOL
dior, who was a great admirer of the dash
ing American officer, has sent to TIE INDIE
PENDENT two handsome Montana sapphires
of fine lustre with the following generous
offer:
TO THE INDEPENDENT: Herewith I hand
you two cut Montana sapphires which l
wish to be given as a premium to the first
Montanian who signs 1925 towards the sher-
Monument fund. j.. SuToR.
The stones are beauties and are worth the
amount of the subscription. Who takes
them?

THE fact that Germany has continued
to send knit fabrics to this country at
the old prices in spite of the highly in
creased duties Of the Mckinley law has
caused some comment. The buyer for
n of the largest importing houses in
New York, who has just returned from
Europe, tells a New York Times re-
porter the reason. 1.-THE Germans" he
says, shave met every increase caused by
the Mckinley bill by cheapening the
products of their mills at the expense of
the We get the stocking as
before in appearance, but it is nothing
but trash. Instead of the respectable
two-thread yarns we were all SO partic-
ular to get before, we now get a misera-
bic single thread that has hardly
strength enough to hold together while
it is run through the loom. Then they
have cut down the cost in every other
direction, too-in the wages, in the dye,
finishing, sorting, labelling, boxing. They
say to us: You say you can't increase
your prices to consumer SO as to cover
the increase in the duty, yet you want
the saIne article What are we to do?
There is no domestic hosiery to take the
place of the goods we have been import
ing for over twenty years, and to bring
in the same class Of goods as before and
expect to get from 30 to so per cont.
moro for them is out of the question"
According to this gentleman the actual
increase Of duty under the Mckinley
tariff amounts to s1.75 upon a dozen
stockings which the German manufac-
turer sells at home for s.. 10.

So MARKED have been the benefits
from employing electric lights in the
factories of Germany that it is proposed
to make their use compulsory in all fac
tories where artificial light is employed
during working hours. Statistics show
that in one large hosiery factory lighted
by electricity only nine operatives out of
$50 men and women employed, were alb
sent through illness last year. Before
the electric lights were introduced more
than double that number were on the
sick list. The Inspector of factories in
Great Britain has just made an interest
ing report on this subject in which he
shows that the difference in Temporal
ture III Il wool combing factory, when
lighted by electricity and gas respect
lively, was ten degrees. The difference
in temperature was marked by a cor
responding improvement in the health
of the hands and in every way conduced
to the comfort and contentment Of the
workmen. The good results that have
followed the introduction Of electric
lights will be small indeed when COM
pared with the benefits that will flow
from the further employment of cleo
tricity In factories. And not in factor
Ter alone but in the homes of the work
ers, for already it has been demon
that by transmission of power to
the houses of artisans much of the work
done in large factories can be done
at home. Already the electric motor is
used to run sewing machines for the
girls employed in glove making in their
own homes and better work is the re-
suit. When power is carried through
to every part of a city and applied
to manifold industries, the foul, Invent
almost a thing of the past.

Edward Jonrdan Charged With Drawing
Gun and a Knife.
Edward Jourdan was arrested Yesterday
afternoon by Policeman Martin, and gave
bail for his appearance to answer the
charge of drawing deadly weapon. The
charge was made by Nicholas Dysinger and
and w. s. S%palding. They had started to
tear down the fence around a piece of prop
erty on Ming street for the purpose of
building a house. Jourdan, who disputes
the ownership to the piece of ground, went
there with a revolver and ordered Dysinger
to stop work. They desisted but would not
leave the ground. Jourdan did not use
the revolver, but drew a knife and threat
ened to make things unpleasant. One of
the men then went after a policeman while
the other stood off Jourdan until his part
ner arrived with Martin. The case will be
heard later on.
