Montana Leads in Almost Everything,

Montana Leads in Almost Everything,
Even in Her Crop of Babies.
There are no gold, silver or copper
mines like those of Montana; no ground
that will grow as much grain to the acre
as hers: 10 potatoes or pumpkins that
can approach hers in size or quality. In
fact, her precious stones. her lakes and
streams, her mountains and valleys. her
ranges. farming lands. and all things
within her borders are wonderful. and in
many cases marvellous. But for a down
right phenomenon Missoula takes the
cake, as shown by the following from the
Democrat Of that city:
For the second time in five years trip
lets have been born to the wife of Henry
Travis. who keeps the toll house near
G~ibbonsville. The mother and children
are healthy and clipper and Mrs. Travis
says she would not mind if there were
four next time. The couple have nine
children, all of whom are strong physic-
ally and in possession of their faculties;
in fact, the six older children are more
than usually intelligent, and the oldest,
a boy of 9years, gives promise of being
a famous painter.
Mr.. and Mrs. Travis were married at
Painted Post, y. Y, eleven years ago.
He was at that time "a farmer and she
was a school teacher. Thirty months
after their marriage their first child was
born; three years later twins, one boy
and one girl. were added to the family.
and two years later triplets, all girls.
were quietly ushered into the world.
That interesting incident happened just
about three years ago and the happy
parents were greatly surprised, but they
were simply astounded when IN Novem-

HOW THE JUDGES WERE FED,
The Bill for Their Meals Contested by
the Board of County Com
m%iSsioners.
Mr.. anderson Proposes Il Present I"
the Board Which They Are
Ready to Accept.

During the recent election the meals
for the Judges stationed at polls in the
Second and Fourth wards were fur
nished 10y Mr.. Anderson, proprietor Of
the Minneapolis house. There was no
written agreement as 10 the price to he
paid per meal. but Mr.. Anderson says IT
was clearly understood by all the Judges
exactly what they would cost the cOun-
ty. and each time that meals were de-
Iivcrcd the fact that their cost would
be 2L+IO for each mea. delivered was
strongly impressed upon them.
The Judges seemed to bc satisfied with
the shove price, and in fact some Of them
declared that they were fully worth
what WAS asked for them When, how
ever. the bill was presented for payment
to the board OF county commissioners
they refused to allow Mr., Anderson the
full amount of the bill and accordingl!
| cut il down from $40 to SO, making the
price per meal 20 cents.
Mr.. Anderson declares that TINS
amount positively will not cover the cost
of the meat furnished. as he was par

The extra help. also. which Mr.. Andcr-
son was compelled to hire added 10 the

these meals had to be carried to the
Judges four times a day should be

A distinct understanding with the Judges
as to what all meals furnished would

cancelled and a new issue ordered.

refused to allow his wife to accom-
pany him further. They had only
been married a few weeks. and he
had resolved that she should go
with him, orders or no orders. Ac-
cordingly, he dressed her as IA sol
dier and managed to smuggle her
OH train. At Resaca she was
stopped, her sex being discovered.

The Retort Surprising,

A young lady teacher was instruct

reached, and TO make it clearer to
them she said: Suppose | should
get married, what would il be that

For few moments the little heads
we're busy trying to comprehend what
would it be. Suddenly one bright
little boy in the class looked up at her
with his countenance beaming with
satisfaction at having solved the prob.
lem, and made answer in loud voice,
