The four countries i'll the world which

BAD FOR i;iyEE..

1t is somewhat singular condition Of
of affairs that permits the location OF q
band of Canadian Indians near the city
of Butte in this state. and leaves it IL
the county commissioners OF Silver Bow
county to adjust the international ques
tion of trespass arising therefrom. As
we remember the history of this inva-
sion. the Butte people were rather proud
at first of possessing an Indian contin-
gent which added to the bizarre and
picturesque aspect of their streets and
rounded out the claim of cosmopolitan
ism that the Butteites have SO strenu-
ously made. 1t only needed the ad
ition of and occasional lousy and dirty
Indian to the black and yellow denizens
of Galena street to till the cup of eXpec-
tation to the brim. and in these preda-
tory Cree's was found the lacking ingre
dent. But now their glory is departing.
BY constant begging and theiving and
an occasional detour on the warpath in
duced by poor VII skey. the noble red
man who was one the pride and glory
of Butte. is now fallen from his high
estate and his removal is essayed by the
county fathers Time was when this
coulS-have bee accomplished with ease
and celebrity an no record of the pro
ceedings left pon the records. but that
was before there was the same ties of gov
ernment that affect us now. As things are
now it is doubtless impolitic to attempt
the methods above referred to. and in our
opinion it il equally unsafe for the com
missioners of Silver Bow county 70 mon
key with the matter It is an interna-
tional question. to be dealt with by the
state department. and the first step
taken should be. in bringing the matter
to the attention of Secretary Gresham,
Any unauthorized act by the county
commissioners will put them in d worse
box than that engenderel by the legis-
lative lobbying expense episode ami
meanwhile the people Of Butte should
be enjoined and especially cautioned
about abusing or maltreating any foreign
Indian lest our borders he oyerrun by AN
army from Canada The situation is III

/ A certain eminent clergyman, WHO is
greatly loved for his gentleness and + =

man that an experience of his ovn IL
years long gone BY taught him the greece
of ready excusing. When he was a boy.
/ he was very poor boy, but he had al
ready a strong theological bent and was
studying hard during the winter and
working even harder during the summer
trying to get preparation for coil r.
4 He wanted to be preacher. and the fiict
/ that he didn't seem to be good for aGr

he had not mistaken his calling.
/ One spring he was entirely out Of
money and had to get out of school and
go To work. Not being able to find any
thing to do IN the small college town
where he Lad been studying. the youth
call him Richard Nernon-went out
among the farmers to see i be could get
work from them. He foundsa man who
was very busy with his springs work
and in hurry to get the burrows plowed
in a big field for potato planting. The
weather was favorable for planting: the
farmers boys would be home from school
the next day. which was Saturday. to do
the dropping and covering. He told
Richard that he might marx out the
field with the plow for the planting, and
if he suited he might be hired for two or
three months. Meantime the farmer
saw that the boy was very ar xious to
stay, and that he had evidently very
good disposition.
So the young theologian went to work
with tremendous vigor. He did not stop
to take breath until he had marked off a
large tract of ground with deep burrows.
Then came his employer from his work
in another part of the farm and looked at
the boys work and leaned up against the
fence and laughed until he shook. The
potato field had been scrapcd and seal
loped all over with the ridiculously ir-
regular and wabbly little bitches which
Richard had turned. There was not IA
clean, straight furrow III the lot. The
ground booked as if an insane elephant
had tossed up the earth. The burrows
were of all depths and at ali distances
from one another. for Richard mad driven
