How Sanders Got Even.

When Col. Sanders, of Montana, first
settled in the wilds OF the then half
civilized west, the following is related
of him, says the Waverly Magazine:
He was about the only well educated
man in the state. The miners and
cowboys recognized that fact and
elected him Judge. In that capacity
he soon became a terror to evil doers,
as he invariably imposed the heaviest
sentence prescribed by law.
On one occasion a border rutlian
was brought before him on a charge of
of assault and battery, entered "A plea
of guilty and was fined $50. The fel-
low had a dangerous gleam in his eye
as he shambled forward, pulled Al bag
from his pocket, took from it two
double eagles, and laid them on the
bar before Judge Sanders. The Judge
showed one of the coins across the
counter, remarklng:
you've made a mistake. Your fine
is 500"
"I know what my fine is" growled
the thug. COSTS $50 10 whip man
in this court, it's cheap enough, and
I'm willing to pay for the fun. Just
keep the other twenty, Judge; I'm go
ing to thrash another man"
"Nery well, sir" quietly said San
ders, putting the coins into u drawer
and turning the key.
/ "And You are the man / am going
to lick, continued the pugilister pris
oner, addressing the court.
LAS you please, sir" was the calm
response, as Sanders stepped from the
| bench.
The fellow made a most savage on
slaught on the judge, but Sanders
| ducked, and before his Antagonist
could recover his equilibrium he received
blow on the jugular which sent lin
spinning half way across the room
where he fell as limp as rag.
Two mines later the erstwhile terror
scrambled 20 his feet, looked about
the room in "A daZed manner, anC
slowly staggered toward the door.
Here, sir" thundered Sanders, wh'
had resumed his place upon the bench
''Come here!"
The thug obeyed. Sanders slowl.
counted out $3.50 and showed /
across the bar.

gravely. "You didn'tcommit assaul

PROM SMALL BEGINNINGS.
In 1867 A. 3. hammond Was Penniless; Now
He's a Millionaire.

Great Falls Leader: Montana is the
greatest state in the world for people
to grow rich in. Nearly every million
aire in Montana came to the state q
poor man. They had 10 hustle for a
living in every sense of the word. We
could not but think of this as we went
down the Yellowstone n short time
since with the Hon. a. B. Hammond,
who is one OF the chief owners OF the
Hammond Lumber concern OF this
city. Said Mr.. Hammond: ''ln 1867
| came up the Missouri river on
steamboat. | wanted to get to Fort
Benton and from there to the placer
mines. The mate was of the kind
often found on a Missouri river boat,
who treated the men as if they were
dogs. Having got into an alteration
with him one day | rebelled and was
put of at Fort Peck. The country
WAS full OF hostile Indians, and as
this was the last boat up the river, 1
was unable to proceed further that
season. formed a partnership with
| Joe Butcher, who now resides in the
vicinity of Fort Benton, understand,
and that winter We put up coI;lwood
| to sell TO the boats the following sea-
son. The boats were unable to carry
enough fuel to last them, and were
Obliged TO tie mp and either cut or buy
wood every few days. We went to
work with two other men and put up
a great many cords OF wood, but the
Indians came down upon us one night
TOO thick for any comfort. We left
after one man was killed and managed
to make our way to Fort Peck. The
next spring got to Fort Benton and
from there followed freight train to
Bannack."
Mr.. Hammond is now millionaire,
president OF the Mssoula Mercantile
company, which occupies whole
block in Missoula, is president OF the
First National bank in the same city
and is interested IN many other enter
| prises.

The commissioner recommends q

of public lands in all OF the states.
"A general law on the subject OF pub

make adequate provision in respect
to both forest reservation and the
cutting and removal OF timber TO sup
ply the public necessities, and shall
also repeal all existing acts OF parts
OF acts Inconsistent with the provis-
visions thereof" As regards the lead
ing features OF such an act he is of the
opinion that the same should be on a
line with the following general sug-
gestions:
"Provis on should be made for the
immediate reservation of all public
lands bearing forests or timber except
for entry under the homestead and
mineral laws. Individual settlers,
farmers, locators of mines, should be
authorized to procure from the public

the opinion of the commissioner the

vations and the cutting and removing

LOSS BY HIGHwAYMEE.
So Heavy ms to Cause ths Withdrawal Of

The Calamity Craze.

The calamity craze sprang into ex-
istence as the result of poor crops. 1t
was most prevalent in the Western
and Northwestern states. Thefarmers
were struggling to make for themselves
and families homes upon the lands the
Republican party had given them un-
der the provisions OF the homestead
and pre-emption laws. The failure OF
each succeeding crop reduced them fl
nancially lower and lower, until in
their desperation they were willing to
believe that the government, and es-
pecially the Republican party, was re-
sponsible for their mIsfortunes.
Scheming politicians took advant-
age OF the situation and the result was
the calamity party. Reason was de
thron,d and fanaticism reigned SUI
preme. With theyear S91 came good
crops. Kansas alone released over
81 4. 100000 of mortgage indebted
ness. Nebraska fell in line with nearly
as much more. The farmers pros
pered. Reason returned, resulting ii
the gradual decline of the calamity
howl. The present crop prosI eets fol
the western states were never better
and with returning prosperity will re
turn the old-time Republican MAORI
ties.
Reciprocity has made market IL
Cuba for over a million barrels o
American flour every year. In tn,
year 1890 the value of exported hams
to Cuba was only S24, 500. Under re
ciprocity, however, in November, 1891
these exports amounted to S40.S54
The farmers OF the west and northwest
can appreciate these facts, as wheat
and pork are the principalthlngs they
have to sell.
