A Romance of so.

Miles City Journal: The marital woes
of Steve Taylor are not unknown to
old-timers in this community, where
the Taylor honeymoon waxed andwaned
some 13 years ago. The lady was, even
in those early days of welded life,
somewhat eccentric, to say the least
and, judging by the several allegations
made by Steve in his application for d.
vorce. she did not improve any by age.
Steve lives ait Horn now and Mrs. Steve
has been for many years past a bird OF
passage, skipping about from place to
place, as her fancy dictated, and ever
and anon levying long range tribute ON
Steve for funds ito come home with,
which Steve always sent her and which
she as regularity diverted TO other pur-
poses. In the respect that patience Is
a virtue, Steve has been a virtuous man
these 10 years, but he has quilt now
and wants the bonds that so slightly
bound his peripatetic wife to him, sew
cred. Mrs. Steve is in California now.
and on being served with a summons In
the divorce proceedings. wrote TO Steve
THAT she was glad ne had decided on
this course, and wished that he had
done 1t sooner, when she was in good
health and able to earn her living.
Thus ends another Tongue river idyl.

The Alleged strike.

on the Great Northern railroad indicate
a disposition on the part Of a few agi-

JUDGE GOSS WILL GO

Convention at st. Paul.
TO CONVENE ON NOV. 10
Will Boom Montana's Varied Re-
sources-Each County In the
State to Be Represented
Clipped From Exchanges.

Billings Gazette: Judge ]. r. Goss,
who was appointed last week as del
egate to the immigration convention at
st. Paul, was interviewed by Gazette
reporter this morning. The conven-
tion," he said, will meet in st. Paul on
Nov. 10, to continue in session three
days, for the purpose of setting forth
the resources of the West and North
west and devising plans for the settling
up of those sections. A delegate has
been appointed from each county in
the state, and 1 trust they will all at
tend. 1 shall go from here, and shall
use every effont in my power to further
the interests of this section, as well as
those of the state at large.
1.-The idea respecting Montana" said
the Judge, sis confined to its mineral
output. Wherever the state is known
its mineral wealth stands out preem-
inent. You don't hear much of its inn
mense cattle and sheep industries, and
nothing at all of its agricultural re-
sources. We have the lands, they are
susceptible of cultivation, and we want
the people to settle on them. And al
though no united plan has been agreed
upon among the delegates from this
state, yet 1t is my belief that If we do
not formulate some plan of action be-
fore we start we will after our arrival
in st. Paul / should like to see every
delegate who has been appointed make
a strong effort to attend.
81 believe we shall accomplish a
great deal of good for Montana, and /
for one shall certainly do all 1 can.
No doubt we will be aided to a great
extent by the railroads. They will be
directly benefited, and there is no ques-
ton in my mind but they will lend a
helping hand. 1 have been contempla-
ting writing to some of the delegates
from this state and asking their ideas
as to the best method of procedure. We
have the opportunity, and now is the
time to improve Ii"

Grover and the A mighty.

Livingston Post: Grover Cleveland's
Thanksgiving proclamation appears in
this issue. The president speaks of
"the constant goodness and forbearance
of Almighty God" There can be no
doubt but that both Almighty God"
and the American people have been
distinguished by a spirit of forbearance
during this second term OF Growers ad-
minlstration. In the category of bless
ings specified by the president as COM
ing directly from the Divine hand, IL
is remarkable that he should omit from
the list the blessing vouchsafed the

Artist Cross.

Livingston Post: Joe Swindlehurst
received on Monday three beautiful
paintings from III. H. Cross. the animal
painter, who was here hast summer.
The pictures are small in size, but are
gems so far as naturalness and fine
execution go. Two of the paintings
represent a mountain sheep in the
craggy Businesses of his mountain
home. The scenery and the position of
the sheep is different in each picture.
The third picture is a little master
piece and represents an old snow
bound buffalo standing with his back
to the storm. What Mr.. Swindlehurst
paid for the pictures Is not known. but
experts place a value of 500 a piece.

A Surs Enough Artist.

Bohemian Chronicle: The Stockgrow-
ers' Journal of Miles City has always
been an illustrated paper. ut has given
a great deal of space TO this feature, a
so much per brand. Success has crown
ed It's efforts in this direction. Ed But
Ter, who is a patron of THE arts, and
authority upon everything relating
thereto, has gratlfied his ambition by
employing IA special artist and present
ing each week a picture of prominent
citizens.
In the last issue we find plhiz of the
Hon. Sam Gordon. Ut is not labeled,
because the publisher is fearful of
libel suit, but 1t is "a picture of Col. Sam
just the same. That bald spot on his
dome of thought leaves no doubt in our
minds. The eyes, the nose, the eye
brows and that broad and expansive
ear, may find it's counterpart In this or
the old country, but that bald spot,
never.
In THE same issue we find a picture of
Charles Towers, who has heretofore
lived a blameless life and has been held
UP in the Miles City Sunday schools as
a good man TO go by. In the early days
of Miles City we roomed with Mr.. Tow
ers and whenever we have been called
upon ito negotiate loan. we have in
variably called attention to this fact to
strengthen our demands. In those good
old days Mr.. Towers could borrow our
extra pair of socks without making a
formal request, and had the free run of
our trunk without question. But since
his latest picture has appeared. we
shall strive to forget that we ever knew
him. He can go his way and we will
go ours. Thirteen years of begging the
patrons of the Chronicle to pay up their
back subscriptions has not entirely
dulled our sense of pride or entirely de-
stroyed our ambition to become road
supervisor of this district. And TO
acknowledge that we ever knew Mr..
Towers would be fateful to this aspira-
ton.
