THE SHERMAN RESIDENCE.

seats and arbors are scattered about, and a
croquet lawn and tennis court afford
amusement for the young people, some of
whom are nearly always at the Sherman
home. Occasionally the use of these de-
Eghtful grounds is given for church lawn
fetes
Included in the estate are fine orchard
and garden, which are the objects of much
care by both Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman, the
former taking particular pride in his fine
varieties of early peaches. The new stable,
concerning which so much good humored
newspaper comment has been made, was
completed few weeks ago, and the sena-
tor is greatly pleased with it. In it are
kept three or four horses, not particularly
handsome or speedy, which were raised on
the Sherman farm near the city, and sew
eral unpretentious but comfortable vehi-
cles.
In the midst of these pleasant surround
ings stands the two story and mansard
roof dwelling, substantial brick structure
painted a peculiar shade between pink
and a red, which harmonizes nicely with
the red sandstone trimmings. A broad
piazza extends across the south side, which
is the front of the dwelling, and this is the
senator's favorite resting place, where he
may be found nearly every evening during
the summer enjoying his cigar. 1t was

orops Raised bv Irrigation.

A recent census report states that of the
S,246 farms in the state of Wyoming 1917
are irrigated. OF these latter the total
area is 1,5O6, $50 acres. Upon 229,676 acres
crops were raised in 1889. 1.-THE tendency"
says Superintendent Porter, throughout
the entire arid region to describe as irri-
gated all land to which water has been ap-
piled within any recent period by artificial
means, land to which bitches perhaps so
far destitute of water have been construct
ed, and even land for which water rights
merely are claimed, has placed the census
Office under the necessity of absolutely re-
stricting itself in its official bulletins on ir-
rigation to land on which crops were actu-
ally raised by the artificial application of
water during the year 1882"

England and her Great Men.


The Victorian exhibition Of next win

OF great men who have adorned the fifty
four years reign of Queen Victoria
-Four hundred great men is goodly al

On looking through the list, however,
the word greatness is seen to be used
with good deal of breadth Still, they
are all SO far distinguished, Walter Be-
SAINT writes, that their names will be
known to everybody who visits the gal
lery and beholds their portraits.

him to an inspecting tour of the orchard,
and solicit the visitor TO help himself to

the newspaper men always appreciate it.
Upon the street, in the stores, anywhere
and everywhere he may be met he is easily
approachable. Though resting, as he says,
he is nevertheless busy man. His cor
respondence is very large, requiring the
services of his secretary throughout his
stay, and in addition he has been engaged
for several weeks in writing an article
upon Ohio for an eastern magazine.

Facts About the Industrious Flea.

NJ. Puget, curious regarding the char
acteristics of minute torment, has been
examining flea under microscope. Thus
viewed it seems to be clothed in armor
from head to foot" formed of brown
overlapping plates that are so exceedingly
tough as to be almost indestructible. Its
head is small and very thin, with a single
black eye on each side, the rays of light
scintillating through the tiny optic like
sparks of fire. Puget managed to look
through the eye of a flea with his powerful
glass, finding that its surface diminished
objects in size while it multiplied them in
number, man appearing like an army of
fairies, and the flame of candle becoming
a thousand tiny stars. The offensive
weapon of the little creature is composed
of two palpi, or ''feelers," two piercers and
a tongue

natives, instead of taking to flight on the
approach of her party and deserving the
caravan paths, came down to meet her.
By some system of communication all the
tribes seemed To know of her approach,
and it afforded her no little amusement to
hear the native men and women describe
her in their own language as woman
master" They seemed not to be able to
comprehend the position of woman in
charge of caravan; but, instead of show
ing her rudeness, the natives from one
coast TO the other, on routes which passed
through savage and wild districts, showed
nothing but Difference and homage. They
treated her in fact as if she were a poten-
tate.
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
She frequently received as many as ten
oxen as a mark of homage, and the chiefs
would send messengers and couriers ahead
in order TO find out whether she intended
to pass through their territory, either 90
ing or returning. But she went straight
ahead TO Kilima-Njaro. Sometimes the
natives reconnoitered her approach and
held aloof On these occasions she went
frankly toward them with extended hands
containing some bright, attractive Offering
as present. She went into Africa with
ali delicacy and womanlincss. but quite
prepared to accept things az they were
there.
On one occasion a band Of warriors ap-
peared at her camp in an entire state of
nudity. Next day, however, they reap
peared clothed as her own followers were,
thereby showing that they had OWNED
that their original state was distasteful to
her. She had been invited by both the
men and women OF tribes to attend their
marriage feasts, dances and funeral sery-
ices, which was very rare experience for
any one outside the tribe to enjoy.
On her return Journey she met with an
unfortunate accident. While being car
ried in a palanquin across q swollen tor
rent the porters stumbled, and she was
thrown from height Of thirty or forty
feet She was dropped By her carriers

American Literature.

People who long for what they call "a
truly American school of literature might
find comfort in considering that all works
written il America have a distinctly
American flavor. even though the writer
may have been born in another land The

the poetry of Mrs. Anna Brsdstreet were

Dolman and Bray Tore the Air When They
Were Lett.
When Bray and Dolman found they were
chosen to return to the Smoky oity their
outraged feelings knew no limit. The bal
lot was taken yesterday morning by the re-
publican representatives and it did not
take them long to decide what they want
ed. They contributed six votes for Bray
and Ave for Dolman, though they had le
c,eived higher votes in Silver Bow county
than either Thompson. Roberts or Mon
teath. Thompson got II, Robert, : IA
and Monteath % votes in caucus
When the result was known Bray
was out of the house in a flash and in three
strides he was at the depot. There he
paced up and down the platform until the
train started for Butte. swearing
a piratical oath that Mount Hel-
ena would tumble down before
he again visited. the capital. Dolman
passed the day in emptying his walls of
wrath, First lie said thai the republicans
were helpless, for the democrats now had
them tied hand andfoot. Then he said the
we're suckers for compromising,
because it they had stayed out three days
longer several republicans would have CON
over to the democ,atic house. Yhe only
time Dolman smiled was when he referred
to Lee Mantle. COB; there is one satisfRor

NEW JUDGES.
Lewis and Clarke and Silver Bow May
Have Them.

Lewis and Clarke and Silver Bow May
Have Them.
Now that the legislative muddle has been
settled the question OF another judge for
this county and one for Silver Bow has been
brought up. 1t has been we'll known that
the dockets of the district courts of the
two counties have been unusually large
since the admission of the state. The bus
mess has increased at such a rate that the
necessity for some relief has been felt.
Shortly before the time fixed for the meet
ing of the legislative assembly Judge Hunt
prepared q statement for Gov. Toole show
ing the increase of litigation in this county.
Out of this two bills were prepared for pre-
sentation to the lower branch of the legis-
lature. 1t is now thought that in the leeis-
will be the establishment of two
additional judgeships for the counties
named. The best features Of the
two measures prepared some time ago will
now probably be Incorporated in ono bill.
The intention is to give the two judges in
divide the business and thus relieve thebur-
den. The senior judge in each county will
assign the cases AS they are commenced.
For the first term the new judges will be
appointed.
Two names were mentioned yesterday for
the office in this county. George +. Shell
ton, of the firm of Cullen, Sanders d. Shell
ton, was one, and the other Horace Buck.
Both gentlemen are democrats and are law
yers of ability and experience. Mr.. She
ton, being the defeated candidate for the
judgship Of the district cou,t at the last
election, it seemed fitting that his name
should have been first mentioned. He SAID
yesterday, however, that he could not think
o. accepting the position. Bis practice If
large and he prefers to attend to it. Mr.
Buck was his choice for the place.
