Opep Air Ethica.

Keep in the open air as much as
possible" is the first and great COM
mandment that should be urged in
the spring.
During the winter We necessarily
live a more or less unnatural life. We
breathe the air vitiated by furnace
heat, with all the vital qualities
baked out of it, and hence during the
winter we subject ourselves to agrad-
ual process of slow poisoning.
The antidote for this poisoning is
fresh air.
So this universal instinct to get out
Of doors during the spring of the year
is q natural instinct, which, like all
natural instincts, has q cause based
ON the natural condition of things.
It is natures effort to expel the stored
up poison accumulated during the
winter.
Man is naturally an open air ami
NAL, but climatic conditions render
open air life sometimes impossible.
As soon, however, as these conditions
are removed, the old primal instinct
to get out beneath the sky asserts it
self, and this instinct cannot be dis
regarded except at the peril of
health.
Get out in the open air every day
and stay there as long as possible. 1t
will make you better physically,
mentally and morally. - Boston

Sweet Grass County.
RUSTIC.

- Citizens OF Lewistowu who have been
in Big Timber since the election report
our friends OF that enterprisine burg
as being actively engaged in organizing
another attack upon the legislature,
which meets i'll January, with q bill
for the creation OF a new county
which, should they succeed, would
make that place county seat.
Our readers will recall the history OF
this measure in the last legislature
and its defeat in the senate by one
vote. The bill was introduced by
State Senator Hatch and bitterly
fought by a strong lobby from Liv-
ingston, the county seat OF Park
county. AS to the merits OF the bill
we are not fully advised, but from our
knowledge OF the country porth OF Big
Timber and to the east OF it, upon he
recently ceded portion OF the Crow
reservation we believe that if the legis.
lature passes the bill Sweet Grass
county will become a rich agricul-
tural county.
This county fight and the connec-
ton Of Senator Hatch with it, re-
minds us of our fight of few years
ago in the same direction and Sena-
tor Hatch's connection with that. 1t
will he remembered that when we were
part Of Meagher county the issue of
county division was fairly before the
people at the last election held with
them. George M. Hatch, the present
state senator from Park, and p. J.
Moore were elected to the house of
representative as anti-divisionists,
and the Hon. Jas. Fergus to the terri
torial council. After the convening
OF the legislature, Messrs. Moore and
Hatch concluded that our demands
for new county were just and they
agreed with the Hon. James Fergus
upon n bill. Mr.. Fergus had no
trouble in passing it through the
council but the creation of new coun-
ties did not meet with much favor i'm
the lower house. 1t required much
work on the part OF Messrs. Hatch
and Moore to pass the bill and i'm fact
when the final vote was taken it re-
suited in II tie, which would have
killed the bill, had not Senator Hatch
induced Mr.. Biddle. representative
from Custer county, to change his
vote, and thus save it from defeat,
We feel that Fergus county owes
Senator Hatch a debt not yet paid,
and hope that our representatives
will give the Sweet Grass county bill
their careful consideration.

The Society was organized October 13,

A BOUNTY LAW.

We believe that it will he generally
conceded that il is time for our legisla-
ture to take some action in relation to
II bounty law. 1t is probably true that
the state treasury could not have stood
the strain of an increased bounty dur
ing the past two years, yet, If We are to
have anything left from which 10 obtain
revenue, a better bounty law than we
have at present, must he enact ed.
Even were certificates now honored by
the cash instead of being placed on
Tile, the present bounty law does not
seem TO be effective in checking the
ravages of stock destroying animals.
While we believe general law, in
creasing the bounty, should he enacted,
still, if this'is not possible, "a law levy
ing II special tax OF the stock industry
in the various counties, would be better
than no legislation at all.
1t is n matter in which stockgrowers
should become aroused, not the large
owners alone. but all who have few
head of cattle, as none are exempt
from the injuries inflicted, as has beer
frequently proven in the past year.
Stock destroying animals have in
creased to such nm extent that it Is safe
to say the losses sustained by them are
greater than from the severity of oul
winters. 1t has become serious
matter and one which our legislators
cannot afford to consider lightly. Give
us reasonable bounty law.

Death of Ernest Allis.

Haisey X. Watson is in receipt of Il
Milwaukee Wis. paper containing the
following announcement of the death
OF his cousin Ernest Allis:
Ernest Allis, son of the fonnder oil
the great Allis iron works, died yes
terday morning at his mothers
residence i'm Milwaukee,, at the age of
30 years. lie has been in failing
health for several years past, during
which time he has resided ut Asheville,
y. C., and in the Adirondack noun
tains. He leaves ~ wife and a little
daughter. Mrs. Allis formerly lived
at Louisville and her maiden name
Miss Winston. Aware ofh approach
ing death, Mr.. Allis wished TO be
brought to his boyhood home, and
last Friday arrived from New York in
the private car OF Nice-President
Clark OF the New York Central line.
Deceased will he remembered by
many of the old timers. In 1879 he
came to Montana from Wisconsin,
among his companions being ID. A.
Meagher and A. b. Barrows. Messrs.
Barrows and Allis established at Okla
in the numbering business and con-
tinued there until 1882 when they
were succeeded by the late W. IL.
Watson. Mr.. Allis returned to Wis
consin in 1881. He was in poor
health when he came to Montana and
had hardly seen a we'll day since 1851.

A Novel Bet.
Toledo, o.
Es-Sold by Druggist, IS.

News OF f. remarkable bet comes
from Binghamton, N. Y. A Repub-
lican bet a Democrat 500 to onecent
that Morton would be elected-odds
10000 to one-apparently pretty
long shot. But the originator OF this
innocent little bet inserted "A little
Joker as a sort OF after thought. He
stipulated that for every vote
received by Morton in excess OF
Hill, the Democrat was to pay
him one cent additional. The Re-
publican was really betting 500
even that Morton would have 10, 600
plurality. Ii Morton's plurality fell
short of 10, 900 he was Offering odds
in proportion to the amount OF the
shortage Ii Morton's plurality ex-
ceeded TO- 900 he was exacting odds
i'm proportion to the amount OF the
excess. The Democrat who accepted
the innocent looking little bet, was
Offering his opponent two to one that
Morton would not have 10000 plu-
ralIty, better odds than any OF the
heavy betters were givingi in New York.
As it happened that Morton received
1856, 900 plurality the Binghamton
Democrat is now indebted to his
financiering opponent 1,56O or at
the rate OF over fifteen to one.

you being a foine judge of horses I'll

as these, the black and the bay, sor,
that we calls Ajax and Bjax. Wan
day l brought out me team and
stopped to change horses. l hooked
on me team and jumped onto the
platform. There was a new man
driving Ajax and Bjax coming out
Just then to hook onto another car.
But the felly was new, and there was
q big crowd, and what did he do but
lose his head, get ratified and hook
onto the ither ind of the same car i
was on. We both started up at wan
and the same time, and what do you
t'ink we done at the fo'th jumps
Jer-r-ked the car in two, sor, at the

that saw it was that astonished that
they was spachless, sor."
"Very interesting. Sounds reason
