Great Falls has "A large number of
wool buyers, but as yet no sales have
been made. The Tribune, which is
Democratic, deplores the present state
of the market, and says: "We regret to
state that never in the history Of Mon
tana's wool industry have prices been
a low and the business of wool growing
as dlscouraging AS now. IL we believed
that the present depressed condition of
this business would continue, we should
say unhesitatingly to the woolgrowers
of the state, quit the business rs quickly
as possible and embark in something
else. But we have an abiding faith in
the future of this important interest.
and we firmly believe that with the re-
turn to normal business conditions
throughout the country it will become,
as it always has been, n profitable bust
ness" Yes, woolgrowing will again be
profitable when the Republican party
gets control of the government and
restores sufficient protection to make it
so. Until that time woclgrowers will
have to take what they can get and
look as pleasant as possible.

Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1894-03-23

A few days ago Mrs. Andrew Reid,
Jr,. OF Mount Vernon place, who is a
native Of France, and whose brother is
an artist III Paris, made one Of the rich
est art discoveries that has ever come to
light In Baltimore. Mrs. Reid Is great
lover Of art and knows good picture
when she sees one. For long time she
has been in the habit of hunting through
secondhand stores for old paintings.
Several days ago, BY chance, she walked
into store on North Charles street.
There she saw a dilapidated looking old
picture, which represented the head Of a
French peasant. AT first she did not
pay much attention TO tho picture, but
went on to examine the other old things
IN thast0re nv ehance she returned to
the picture. and 1t struck her as being a
Remarkably fine piece of art work. She
turned il over and looked ON the back,
and there was the artists name. Before
her was one Of the most valuable pictures
In Baltiinoge.
She Immediately called the dealer and
asked the price of the picture. He stag
gered her ~ asking twenty dollars. She
paid the price, took the picture home
with her, and now it cannot be bought
fos less than thousands.
It was rich find. truly, as there are
only two other pictures in Baltimore by
the same artist. The picture is by Jean
Baptiste Greuze, and ON the back Of it
Is *jean Baptiste Greuxe, 1875 to 18os.''
Mr. William T. Walters owns one Of the
pictures, for which he paid big price,
and Mr.. Leonce Robillon owns the other.
Mr.. Walters viewed Mrs. Reid's picture
yesterday and pronounced it genuine.
He says it is worth thousands of dollars.

Raising Talking Parrots.

The talking powers of parrot depend
to great extent on its being taken in
hand at very early age. This would
be one advantage of rearing these birds
in confinement. Under such conditions
also it would be practicable to vastly
improve the speaking faculty by mating
the best takers together for generations.
Thus would be produced such feathered
conversationists as are unknown ND to
date. 1t would certainly be profitable
to breed and raise the parrots known as
Carolina parrakeets,. These are rare now
and bring high prices, though thew used
to be very common as far north as Penn
sylvania and Illinois. At present the
few survivors are almost wholly con-
fined to scattered localities in Florida
and the Indian Territory. They have
been successfully bred in captivity. The
green Australian parrakeets of the sort
used by strolling fortune tellers on the
streets are among the easiest of birds
to rear Washington Star.

"Go to the geological gardens and open

Causes For Present Day Ailme.t..

Probably the most potent factor of pres
emit day ailments is the allegiance into which
the muscular system is permitted to fall
by jewellers in cities, vino are daily becom-
ing more dependent on artificial means Of
locomotion and on labor saving apparatus
until disorders of digestion and nervous
maladies are now as common among the
comparatively poor members of the COM
munity as they are among those who are
wealthy. Indeed, viii the rich man en-
deayors to overcome the mischief wrought
by his sedentary life by riding in the park
or playing golf, the poorer man, who is I'M
able to afford these pleasurable exercises,
neglects his muscular development and in
variably mounts his omnibus or tumbles
into his train rather than waste the time
necessary for brisk walk or half hour
in the gvmnasium.-Nationa Review.

A Horse That Didn't Like the Win,

Mrs. William II. Crane, the wife of the
comedian, tells funny story about little
horse she recently purchased. AS soon as
she reached Cohasset, after the seasons
campaign, she noticed in a livery stable
very nice and fat little horse.
She took a fancy to the animal and pur-
chased him.
HE is very GENTLE" said the liveryman,
land a good worker. Any one can drive
him, and he has no bad habits. I must
warn, you, however, never to strike him
with whip"
What, will he run awayf" asked Mrs.
Crane in alarm.
NO." answered the man hesitatingly.
''but it would be dangerous"
The next day Mrs. Crane had the horse
hitched up to u cart and with another lady
proceeded to take drive. The horse was
very gentle. He had a certain choppy gait
very slow, and he never varied it, At first
Mrs. Crane was as delighted as child with
a toy, but after awhile the slowness of the
little animal became monotonous. Mrs.
Crane tried to coax him to ''gee up,n but
he wouldn't "gee." Finally she got tired.
"Here goes, said she as she took tight
hold on the reins and braced herself wellin
the cart. Hold yourself, because am 60
ing to strike him with the whip whatever
be the consequence"
With great deal of fear she raised the
whip, feeling that as soon as it descended
the pesky animal would pick up his legs
and run as fast as he could. But he did no
such thing. The instant the whip struck
him he stood stock still and wouldn't move.
THAT horse wouldn't bulge" said Mrs.
Crane the other day. land we had to walk
home and pay a boy to drive him whenever
he took it into his head to move. "-Cincin-

A STORY About Napoleon ponaparle.

1t is astonishing how many people believe
the old story that Napoleon Bonaparte put
check for 100000 francs in silver franc
piece and that the coin is yet in circulation
in France. They say that the people did
not want the franc piece and that in order
to create demand for silver money of that
denomination the emperor resorted to the
device mentioned. The check, or treasury
order, was written on asbestus paper and
made in the coin. 1t would be interesting
70 know, if this story be true, how many 5
franc pieces have been broken open since
the story Of the check was first circulated.
