Southern soil seems to possess the nec-
essary substances for the growth of all
species of trees and plants natural to
warm climates. Substances that con-
tribute to the nutrition of plants will act
as food for trees, and, as we see the phys
ical properties Of the trees themselves,
leaves and other matter have a direct
share in their nutrition. There are some
soils SO hard and ~clayeythat the roots of
trees cannot spread, and thus they fail
TO reach the substances which they re-
auire for food. Hence the tree becomes
stunted in growth and is o dead, fall.
ing I o the ground to become, through its
ashes, nutrition for some other Trailer
plant which can subsist in such SOIL

Woman to Woman.

The attitude women assume toward
strange women was amusingly brought
out in "a New York court a few day ago.
A female witness in a case where a
Young man was accused of slashing a
young woman's dress while riding in the
elevated was asked by one of the law
yers, DO you mean to say. madam. that
YOU saw all those tears or cuts, which
ever you please. in a lady's skirt and yet
hadn't the polireness to tell her OF it,
Il do" said the witness. Il have often
told women when their dress was out Of
order in the street. but ! always got
snubbed for my pains, and ! made up
my mind not to do it any more. If "A man
should tell a woman that her dress wa
ont of order, she would be very apt TO
thank him, but she never thanks a wom-
an."--San Francisco Argonaut.

Six miles south of Sedaiia a singular
cyclonic phenomenon WAS visible. A
small cloud was noticed III the north
west moving in "a ~southeasterly dlrec-
ton, whirling and twisting like a writh-

the cloud was a monster crane, which

A Coed Dressing For Shoes.

When meditating a trip on a rainy day,
it is "a wise plan to rub the shoes with a
waterproof mixture, which will make
them soft. pliable and hardy. A very
good recipe for this is an ounce of bees
wax. an ounce of ~turpentine, a quarter
of an ounce Of Burgundy pitch, melted
over a slow fire with a half pint of oil.
Be cautious with the %turpentine. This
mixture may be applied often and will

IT is a somewhat singular coincidence
that just as Miles City is adopting the
cash system in its retail transactions.
Bohemian which has run on a cash basis
for several years. is organizing IA large
mercantile company who propose to run
"A department store o n credit. Il this
change was taking place anywhere else
but at Bozeman. we should feel inclined
to discuss the matter theoretically. but
with the existing conditionsin"Fair Gal
latin" there isno room for any abstract
consideration Of theories. The fact OF the
matter is that the cash system is a little
too rapid for Bozeman. and too exacting
on the time the leisure we might say
of its merchants. The dolce far niente
that charge it yourself" and settle
once "A year induces. is too often rudely
broken by the man that wants change

The most surprising statement made by

presidents remarks as a whole:

antees every citizen should be justly and
in good faith conceded. In all parts Of

tory as one of the best of president. In
