Learning that the selection and
patenting of mineral lands was re-
ported as being continued, Repre-
sentative Hartman brought up a
resolution in the house directing the
secretary of suspend the issuance of
patents pending the passage Of the
mineral land bill in the senate. The
resolution was passed.
The mineral land bill was reported
favorably and unanimously by the
public lands committee in the senate
yesterday and would have passed but
that Mitchell and Stewart started a
debate and German would not yield
for such debate, although willing to
let the bill pass. The whole Of the
Montana delegation, including Irwin,
are working hard for its passage.

WHEN lINNlE CAME HOME.

The day when Linnie came home, came home,
TIL birds in the tree tops knew,
And the blossoms sweet fell down at her feet
At a glance from her eyes full OF blue,
And the birds sang sweet,
"She has come once morei"
And the roses kissed her
At the door.
The day when Linnie came home, came home,
The sun beamed bright that day,
The bees made sweeter the honeycomb,
And the lilies leaned in her way,
And the south wind sang,
''She has come once morel"
And the sunshine kissed her
At the door.
The day when Linnie came home, came home,
The high and splendid skies
That smiling bent where her footsteps went
We're nearly as blue as her eyes,
And the birds sang sweet,
"Sle has come once morel"
And my glad heart met her
At the door!

THE BOY AND HIS PROBLEMS,

For questions dark and eerie let me reoorn-
mend my boy,
Who, though he is his fathers pet, doth none
the less annoy
By putting problems every day that no man
living here
Upon this earth can answer with a conscience
that is clear.
It's "Papa, tell me why it is that granite is so
hard?''
And Whats the slipp'riest thing alive, a cake
of ice or lard?"
And "Why don't liens learn to roar in Eng
lish, SO that we
Can understand emf" And, again, "Just how
wet is the seat"
'If it should snow in summer time, how long
before 'twould melt?'
