1t Was All Love.

A writer for the Boston Transcript
was the witness the other day of IA very
pretty scene on a street car. There was
an old negro woman-a very black old
wonan-whose face, besides being black.
was pecklnarhsa. No doubt a superb
cial observer would have called her re-
pul,iye, but there WAS Il sweet and kind
" look III her eyes and a benevolent ey-
preston about her black features which.
as You looked at her. gave Won "A 4limpse
Of something beautiful.
At her side. with his sweet child face
toward the window. knelt a little white
hos-a handsomely dressed little chan
with blond curls and blue eyes. He
asked the old black woman questions
now and then, which she answered with
a deep, grave. kind voice. and she called
the little fellow honey"
Presently this little Caucasian leaned
over tenderly toward the old woman,
put his arm lovingly around her neck
and laid his pink and white cheek against
her black face. That obliterated every
bit of responsiveness the woman might
have had with every person of sentiment
III that car. To this little boy the old
black face was entirely beautiful, be-
cause 1t was all love. The beauty that
he saw was a good deal more than skin
deep.

his appearance. no doubt, which has
gained for him the appellation of liking

fancy itself could conceive nothing more
httingly repl esentative of majesty than
the full grown male lion, gazing with
great yellow eyes, which seem to know
no fear, and the ample honors Of his
shaggy name wrapped round his massive
front and forearms. He looks like the
embodiment by nature of loneliness and
~magnanimity, and he has been adopted
as such in all literature and poetry from
Homer and -Esclylus down to the lion
comique' OF our music halls. Yet he is
only a cat-a great ~cat-after all. and

The Ring Pheasant,

about four miles from Sodaville, Or,

try being favorable and being protected
by a strict law for six years they have
multiplied rapidly and now are one Of
our most common game birds. In fact,
they multiplied so rapidly that long be-
fore the six years protection had ceased
the farmers complained bitterly that the
birds were a serious damage to their
grain and gardens, and many birds
were killed. but in this l think they We're
mistaken, for in MY examination of many

a Remarkable Bridge.

1t is reported from Denver that u nat.
ural bridge formed by II tree of agatized
wood. spanning IA canyon A. feet wide,
has been found in Chaicedony park in
Arizona. 1t is supposed that the tree
had at some remote time fallen, when it
became inbedded in the silt Of some
great inland sea OF mighty water over
flow. The silt became in time sand
stone, and the wood gradually passed
through the stages of naturalization,
until now it is a wonderful tree of solid
agate. Again. in after years, water has
washed and eaten away the sandstone
until a canyon 40 feet i'll width has been
formed, the f1intlike substances of the
agatized wood having resisted the erosion
of the Observation-Disclosures Blade.

4 Far Western Boom.

Colorado papers are clamoring fol
cheap fares to the California midwintel
fair. The Denver Times 10 speaking Of
the matter says that the far west is the
worlds coming country: 1T is the only
region left in a temperate climate su t
able for the habitation of the white man
whose resources are as yet undeveIoped.
1t is the best part of the best nation on
earth. Capital and Immigration from
the whole civilized world are ready to
pour in upon it.
, with recovery from the panic the
! people will now, as never before, give a
listening ear to @ enterprises. 4
large sprinkling of representative citi-
zens from every state have Just returned
to their homes from the worlds fair.
where they have been amazed at the ag-
ricultural exhibits from the states of the
arid region. The mineral and other re-
sources have greatly attracted them
also. The manufacturing opportunities
presented have not passed unnoticed.
All that is needed to induce thousands
who saw the exhibits of the far west at
the fair to make an excursion is low
rates.
The opening OF the midwinter fair at
san Francisco affords an ample excuse
for very low rates throughout the winter.
The roads certainly have learned a les.
son from the worlds far. They should
exert themselves to carry as many thou
sands to San Francisco and intermediate
points as their transportation facilities
will permit. 1t WAS the southern Cali
fornia boom, eight years ago, that led to
a wave of prosperity over the entire arid
region from FL Paso to Great Falls and
from San Diego to Seattle. That south
ern California boom was turned on by
the Santa Fe road making low rates."
The result of that wave of prosperity
eight years ago is seen in the magnificent
young city Of Great Falls today. There
is no place o the western continent that
offers half the Inducements to idle CAPT
tai as can be found here, and there never
was as bright a future as now lies before
US. Give Montana cheap fares that
people may come and see for Themselves
what We have to offer and the opportu-
mites that exist for profitable investment.
Let them come to Great Falls. the peer
city of the west, and they will seek
further.

Forty railway trains going to and

way mail superintendent recommends
that the use of oil lamps in mail cars be

because of the soiling of the mail matter

The deeper down into the earth a vein
