After thirty-eight years, in the sa-

under the impulse of family affection,
he related the story of his youthful in

his fortunate escape from a life of de-
spair.
Somebody repeated the story to the
police. and Ivan Ryl1off was torn from
his wife and children and east into
prison. He appealed to the mercy of
his judges, but they knew no mercy
His long honest life counted for no
more than tears of his loved ones. and

The Emerald Isle and the Breeding of
80 Hunters.
The Irish horse has been famous as
FAR back as any historical record of it
pan be traced, but of late years it has
been the Irish hunter that has given
the country it's name for horse breed

opment of the ight-carrying hunter
with plenty OF quality-that most per
feet type of horse for general utility
and enduranee-that her chief aim
should be directed
Years ago. before the introduction of
various English breeds into the coun.
. try. type existed of the old Irish hum
ter which stamped itself on its progeny,
and by its excellence in the hunting
held acquired itsre reputation This type
! Is unfortunately rare at the present
time, owing to the numberless expert
. ments in breeding that have been tried.
/ and the hunter of to-day is more or
less a chance animal, the result of
mating thoroughbred stallion with a
farmers mare; in fact. the breeding of
hunters is now too much a lottery. with
TOO many blanks and too few prizes.
II Is admitted at once that there are
probably as many of the very highest
class OF hunters bred in Ireland now
as at any former time, but the class
mat produces these animals is limited
and to large extent their value is only
realized by the dealers into whose hands
they chiefly find their way. We must
endeavor to reproduce the type for
which Ireland was formerly so famous
throughout the country generally if
we wish to attain success in Irish horse
breeding; and the possibility of estab-
llshlng type and developing a dis
tinet breed is consistently advocated
by some OF the highest authorities on
the subject. ~ -
u Is obvious the broad question is not
SO much how those who already have
every facility for breeding good horses
can be assisted as how an ordinary
farmer can be encouraged in the pro-
duction Of the best class of animal

The great French composer Auber,
the writer of Fra Diavolo, Crown
Diamonds and about fifty other first
class operas, was peculiar genius in
more than one respect. He never heard
a performance of one of his own operas,
which, of itself, is thing without par

never allow anyone in his presence to
mention death, or allude in any way to
masters that might recall what to him,
was the most awful of all subjects. He
was wealthy and lived in the utmost

died, while the city was in the throes
of the war with the commune, prepara-

Below are the answers to the ISLANDERS

The language used in both cases ie en-
phatic and unmistakable. In the light
OF these infamous canarde and their
prompt and authoritative denial is it
asking too much to ask the people of
Montana to pay no attention whatever
to any accusation that may emanate
from Helena quarters. 1t has been
proven that they have no regard what
ever for the truth, and their conduct in
this respect places anything they may
say beyond the consideration OF any
truthful, self respecting citizen. Here
are the denials:
