Missoula, May a4.-The action of the
young men who inaugurated the tour
nament which was to have been held
at the fair grounds on Memorial day.
and who afterwards gracefully acceded
10 the wishes of the veteran soldiers
and postponed that event until July 4.
meets with general approval, and is in
full accord with the general opinion
of what should be the nature of the OBJ
servance of the occasion. These young
men have been misrepresented by many
of the reports that have been circulat-
ed. liz Is not true that they were de-
termined TO hold the tournament on
Memorial day i'm defiance to the ex-
pressed wishes Of the Grand Army PEG
pie. When IL was decided to give the
entertainment on that day. there was
no thought of offending the sense of
propriety Of any one, and as soon as IL
was known that the old soldiers felt
that some other day should be selected
for the tournament, those having IL In
charge Immediately decided by unan-
imous vote TO postpone the AFFAIR. II
was a graceful act, and showed exact
ly where they stood in the matter. The
result will be that the tournament will
be better entertainment by reason OF
the longer time for practice that will
be afforded. and the attendance on July
should be large. II only 10 show 10
these young men that the spirit OF
their action is appreciated.

THE WEASEL A CLEVER DoDoER,
One That Was Quicker Than the Shot of
sportsman's Trusty Gun.

Sportsman's Trusty Gun.
Coming to our camp in the cool Oc-
tober evening after throwing our lines
for bass at sunset in Little Bear pond,
said the Gotham sportsman to the New
York Sun man, I'VE found that VS.
itor had been there during our absence.
We had taken up our quarters in de-
serted single camp, a low log struct-
ure with a splint roof. A 'deacon'S seat
stood before the open fireplace of stone
and behind, laid thatchwise on the
ground, were the pine boughs upon
which we were to sleep. We had left
our dunnage there earlier in the day
and had hung up upon a peg in the
wall two cartridges that we had shot.
After we had lighted up the place
with a glowing fire we saw that the
cartridges were gone from the wooden
peg on which they had hung and were
nowhere to be seen. A long search
about the camp revealed them at last
on the opposite side crowded half un-
der the bottom log of the wall as If
an attempt had been made to get them
out of the camp that way.
We hung them up again upon the
peg and in a few minutes discovered a
weasel running about them trying to
get them down again. He appeared to
be regardless of our presence. He
would run out to the edge of the peg
and work away awhile to try to push
the string that held them over the end.
and then would dart to the ground be-
low and sit upright looking at them,
his eyes all the while glowing like en-
eralds. At last 1 picked my gun UP.
loaded with heavy charges of bird
shot.
Its no use trying to hit him. said
Farris, my companion, an old woods
man. He'll dodge the flash of you
gun. The most you can do is to scare
him away
LAS the weasel sat upright and mo-
| tionless on one of the bottom logs of
the camp I took a careful sight and
/ fired with my right barrel at him. The
smoke cleared away but no weasel was
! to be seen, although the place where
| he had sat was peppered with fine
/ holes where the shot had all struck
/ within a space as large as the palm of
/ my hand. If the weasel had been hit
he would have been found and he had
evidently lodged at the flash of the
explosion or perhaps the fall of the
hammer. But the shot had the effect
of frightening him away. for we had
no more visits from him during our
stay"

Fowls For the Breeding Pen.


Make up the breeding pen about the
LIST Of January unless early broilers are
desired, when November or December
is none too early. Where it is desired to
produce eggs for market, January will
secure pullets which make the best win
ter layers. In this selection hardness and
activity must be considered, the first be-
ing the most important. Choose only the
most vigorous. One of the chief causes
Of infertile eggs is improper mating.
For young pullets select vigorous cocks
in their second year. Mate old hens with
cockerels not less than 10 months old.
Eggs from immature pullets are often
infertile or produce inferior chicks
Never allow mongrel cock in a poul-
try yard. There is not much to be gain
ed by keeping mongrel hens, although
they are sometimes useful in grading up
the flock. Always use pure bred male,
and if mongrel hens are kept let the
weak points in the hens be strong ones
in the male. He must be. perfectly
healthy, active and graceful. Breeding
fowls which are confined must be given
all possible care. Be careful not to over
feed. Heavy feeding may make them
plump and glossy, but their offspring
will be weak and sickly.
