R YEAR TERM.

The judges of the election de-
cided that the votes received by
Mr.. Cowell for the three year term
should be added to his votes for the
two year term, and in that way
claim his election. This is hardly
a fair proceeding, however, IS the
fourteen votes cast for Mr.. Cowell
for the three year term were cast
by men and women who had voted
for Mr.. England for the two yeal
term, and were thus practically
DISTINGUISHED. However, we are
all satisfied to allow Mr.. Cowell to
serve the term. We believe the
interests of our schools, in the
hands of these trustees, will be
carefully guarded, and that was
one of the principle issues of the
campaign.

The Goodrich Lumber company,
of Great Falls, has opened up a
large lumber yard at Collins, this
county, where everything in the
way of lumber, lath, shingles,
doors, windows, mouldings, build
ing papers, nails, ETC., can be had
at the lowest prices. This enter,
prising firm is making al effort to
secure a larger share of Teton
county's trade, and in establishing
a branch yard in the county has
undoubtedly made a wise move.
AL old pioneer rev sits the
scenes of former days. On Thurs
day evening Rev. W. W. VanOrs-
del came to u village after an
absence of fifteen years. The
topography of the country is tie
same, but the scenes have changed
At that time the buffalo and wild
Indians roamed at their own sweet
will. Now, instead of the buffalo
and the antelope, vast herds Of
cattle and sheep are grazing on the
range; instead of the Indian tepet
and camp, the beautiful valleys arr
dotted with prosperous ranches ant
farm houses. Dupuyer is a sur
prise to the stranger, who expects
to find a log cabin town. Thu
people are taking pride in building
neat and comfortable homes. A
number have so done and Others
are contemplating building in the
near future. With q splendid
school building and the proposed
church building which the people
hope to see erected soon. this will
certainly be a.desirable locality II
which to settle.

The patrons of Moraldis italian
table d'hotc restaurant liked music
with their dinner and they liked good
music. After old PHI and his daugh-
Ter came they had it for ono hour
every evening. Pizzi played the guitar
and Guilia played the mandoin-oh,

| dis is an expcreive restaurant. Dinner
' there costs dollar and half, and no
better dinncris served in all New York.
That is why the pizzis played there
Pizzi. who had once been the leader of
great Italian orchestra, was still too
' proud to play for his dinner, although
' msrortures had come thick as
flakes in snowstorm after rhcuma-
tism had tied his fingers. So he was
paid three dollarsrand twenty-five cents

work upon their instruments every
evening, but only on condition that the
| three dollars should go back again into
the till of the restaurant in payment
for their meals. Tho twenty-five cents
he invariably gave TO the waiter.
Pizzi. the musician, and PiZzi, the
diner, were different men. pizzi. tho

From harmony to song; from song to
tinlllc; merrment, pathos, wild abpn-
don 49, all were in the music none
limited at the tumult in the poor girls
heart. Not one of those who heard,
guessed it.
But back of the musicians, half hidden
by an angle in the wall sat the big
blonde artist. Every night since Pizzi
had ordered him away, he had come
before the music and staid until after
the musicians had gone. Tonight he
like the others, had been amazed by
Ituilia's playing. At first he thought
that she was simply singing out her
sorrows on the mandolin. but a glance
at the musicians showed that something
was wrong. Pizzi, now with his face
flushed, was bending forward. gazing
at Guilia with an intensity which
seemed to Tom TO bodc mischief

Australia, the Land of Inverted order.

Professor Ullathornc, in his great work
on Australia, gives the following points
concerning which that country is dlssln-
liar TO the other countries of tho world:
Australia is really the antipodes OF the
remainder of the world in all respects.
summer time comes during the time of
European winter; the rising barometer in
dcates rain and the falling the opposite;
the swans are all black and the eagles
white; the male lays eggs and has a bllI
like duck the native dogs never bark;
the scrpcnts have tails like fishes and
wings like bats; the prickly pear grows to
I've tall Tree, and the poplars and oaks
seldom grow above breast high; ferns grow
from 20 to 30 feet in height; the emu has
hairs in place of feathers; the birds are
without song; the sun is in the north at
noon; tho chief rivers dow inland; the pear
tree grows a fruit that is beautiful TO look
upon, but which when ripe is as hard as
though fashioned from the wood Of the
tree itself; the leaves OF the frees all stand
,lGcwise and cast no shadows; the STONE
nr pit of the cherry is on the outside and
