Kid Poker PlaYers.

Glasgow Record: Not many nights
ago we strolled into a poplar resort
in Glasgow and in the card room were
shocked at seeing a boy probably IA
years old playing poker with a half
dozen men. To see the small boys
of the town shooting craps" is by
no means an unusual sight. but when
they go so far as to sit down in public
with men and bet their money ait
poker. ft is about time their sporting
aspirations were nipped in the bud.
The law prohibits minors inhabiting
saloons and should be rigidly enforced.
We have noticed on several occasions
boys under the age of p years call for
a glass of beer and get it. What can
our boys be expected to amount to
when they grow up If they are per-
mitted to hang around places where
all manner of vices are held out to
their greedy eye? What place are they
to occupy in the world with no learn
ing save that which they CLEANED
around the gambling table? That such
a state of affairs has sprung into exist
ence in Glasgow ds a disgrace to civil
izatlon and Chris tianity. and we shall
expect to see the existence of youthful
gambling come ITO a sudden and certain
end.

Day" said Judge Mllburn. "A party
of cowboys came into town and one of
them attempted to ride his horse unto
q saloon. Kavanausih stepped up and
said, here, you can't do THAT The
next moment he was looking into the
muzzle of a sixshooter. Nothing daunt-
ed, however, the sheriff pulled his gun
and not only made the cowpuncher
back down, butt took him ito jail be-
sides. That night mis- friends attempted
to take him out of jail, but the sheriff
stopped Them in short order. There was
a good deal of loud talking about what
they were going to do, but when they
found that 1.-THE sheriff was firm and de-
oermined to do his duty they quilted
down and wound up in true cowboy
fashion-slapping him on THE back and

banking Trees.

Rocky Mountain Husbandman: The
practice of banking trees for winter
has not been tried to any extent in
Montana. AS a matter of fact /; has
never been found necessary. Prof. s.
NJ. Emery of the Montana Experiment
station. recommended this pan when
he first came among US some years
ago, but We believe he. like the most
of the orchardists of The s,aIe, has
concluded that this is an unnecessary
precaution. Professor Emery also la
his early experience in the state rec
commended the laying down and cover
ing of gooseberries and ras Dherries and
possibly currants. and this he has rot
given I'D and such a course might be
advantageous for aught Montana fruit
growers know since they have not tried
ii. There are valleys. however, such
as Smith river, Judith. Nevada creek
and Deer Lodge. where more care is
necessary in the care OF trees and
shrubs than in the lower attitudes and
where heavy mulching would, 20 say
the least, prove advantageous and 1t is
possible that the banking Of the trees
and covering of small fruit shrubs
would be good. 1t would be well any
how to experiment a little in this d.
rection, since the experiments in the
Gallatin valley. where the government
station is located. cannot be considered
as a fair test of every locality of the
state.

was to come off here last night be-
tween Lawrence Nelson of Anoka,
Mimi, and an unknown. who was to be
chosen from among the sports of Gal
latin county. did not come off. Sheriff
Caldwell notified C. NJ. Beck, who was
backing Nelson. that no fight would
be allowed here and referred him to
County Attorney Holloway for the law
relating to prize fights and then a
deputy sheriff was upon the ground
last evening to see that no attempt
was made to carry out the programme.
Those ait the head of the scheme

of the law, but If a sparring match
takes place in this county it will have
to come off on the quiet and so very
quiet that it is morally certain no dis
turbance of this kind will soon shock
the goodly people of old Gallatin.
Lawrence Nelson has been about

Fears for Miss Willard.

Great Falls Leader: An illustrat ton
in the Inter Ocean represents Frances
Willard as being tempted by disrepu-
table-looking bartender to partake OF
various strange brews. such as ''popu-
lism" and Henry Georgeism," and
thus leading her TO drop her work for
temperance. The lesson conveyed by
this picture is one that the w. c. IT. u.
would do well to take to heart. 1t
teaches that whenever that organiza-
ton seeks to further utopian side is
sues 1t weakens the cause II was insti-
futed to promote. Miss Willard, like
many other excellent and well-meaning
people. is liable to be led astray by i'm
practicable ideas. but II is TO be re-
GREETED that she is able to influence
her followers to their injury.

by them. The Opinion says these gen.
tlemen have grown tobacco for their

Mr.. Johnson also collected seeds OF

about so pounds. They had been cut

place where the squirrels had heaped
up about five sacks full OF cones. This
IS about the only way these seeds can

and the cones grow at the very top.
The squirrels made a great chattering
when they saw the men stealing their
winter supply of food. but Mr.. johnson
thought the squirrels had more time
than he had, and could throw down
more cones.
Mr.. Johnson also collected seeds Of the

necessary to go down 5000 TO 5000 feet,
to the bottom of the canyon. and then
climb the same height. making one

the mountains are covered with fine
forests while others are OF white gran

granite peaks are the favorite home of
the native mazamas, and at times
large numbers or these animals can be
seen, but the flesh Is so tough and
strong that hunters do not pay much
attention to them. The skin Is priced as
a trophy.
On returning to Astoria, Mr.. johnson
proceeded to Saddle mountain. which
Is quite a wonderful place for collect

Indian botanical garden. ITO which the
aboriginees brought specimens of medi-
cfnal herbs. roots, plants and shrubs

On the very summit OF the middle

beautiful grove of noble fir. from which

These trees are from $50 TO 200 feet in

secured about a thousand lily bulbs OF
