MONTANA LEGIsL NOTES.
The Breezy Legislators of the West
Are a Glass Unto Themselves

1t was a Montana legislator who. when
some corrections in spelling and grammar in
MS Dill were called to his attention by the
committee said: why you fellows have mn
ciated it!' says the Boyerman Chronicle.
1T was the same statesman who said in ad-
dressing committee Of which he was a mem
Der: The muddy slough of politics was the
boulder upon which the law was split in
twain and fell in thousand pieces from the
pedro of justice. Let us, then, gear up our
lions, that we can go forth with a clear
head
Upon addressing the chair. this same orator
delivered himself as follows: 81 feel that for
a plain man like myself to address a body
composed of so many law attorneys as this
is, is indeed casting pearls before swine; or
In other words, to make my meaning palmer

David, [ come before you armed with only

not ride a hobby in this legislature, lest it

loud voice proclaim, 4 am he "
"Ah! | see,' said the good man who was
arguing with a legislator regarding the in
itiative and referendum. You cannot bisect
or dissect the wool Of carping misanthropy
from the web Of unavoidable pessimism.
You a Polemic-'
You're liar!" interrupted the legislator;
I'm Populst"
Some of the Legislators are being criticised
for leaving their families at home. We see
nothing wrong in this. Some one must stay
at home to milk the COW with the brindle
tail, split the kindiing, shovel snow feed the
chickens and carry Stop to the pigs. Who
can do this better than the good housewife?
Hired help is at all times erratic, and more
especially during the dancing season. Be
cause a man Is forced to go to the legislature
to manage the affairs of state play Niger
billiards, eat hotel grub and give the ranch
be wrested from the farm? No; a thousand
times no.

The tobacco is of the finest quality to be
obtained in Cuba. The cigars are made with
unusual care, and there is just as much to-

to have been visiting in Cuba, and was asked
by the manufacturer to bring them to him.

A Michigan lawyer whose success has been

ginning of his prosperity, says the Detroit
Free Press.
81 had gone from a farm up in New Hamp-
shire to Boston. In worldly matters l was
deplorably ignorant, but in book lore l must
have been something Of a phenomenon, for
so much that l had read literature such

century or so ago. l had said farewell to the
folks at home and positively assured them
that when | came back I would be a lawyer.
Il had my whole campaign mapped out
and you can infer l a novicec from my
line Of procedure: In my mind the mayor
of q great city exercised a sort Of pafri-
archal sovereignty. From what / had read
in my old books he was the father of his
people So ! went to the mayor of Boston;
not to his office, but to his house in the
the central figure in some sort of a social
function, and l was practically paTalyZed
when ushered into his august presence. The
fine ladies about him put the finishing
touches on my timidfty. AS | look back

and finally suffer indescribable horrors. I
was in a state Of irresponsible extinction.
But it was one OF those same fine ladies that
came to my rescue. With a tact that would
have won her fame a cross-examiner, she
drew out was delighted with the quaint
knowledge that | possessed, interested the
mayor in spite of himself, and he actually
put me into his Office where / was self-sUs-
tanning from the start.
When admitted to the bar found an
opening to come West. and have always
been satisfied that it was the mayor who
found it for me. l tried to induce that fine
young lady to come with me, but she wa
just as tactful in refusing my proposal as she

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The foreign
embassies and legations in Washington
are watching the progress of the tariff
bill with great care, as it materially
affects all commercial nations. Re-
ports are being forwarded to the vari-
Gus foreign offices, and these in turn
are being made public abroad for the
information of concerns shipping to
the United States. Naturally, the feel
ing among the diplomats is not favor
able to the measure, as it will restrict
many Of the lines of foreign trade with
this country. Among the representa-
tives Of the larger countries the ex-
preston is general that there will be
a large decrease in imports and that
this in turn will be followed by an In
crease Of duties against American
goods The representatives of nations
which are most concerned with rect
procity do not regard the reciprocity
features of the present bill with ia,

SAILED AND sTEERED HIS COW.
New England Sea Captain Got His
HaIky Bovine to the Fair.

When l was down on Cape Cod last summer
l heard an amusing story about an old sea
captain and his cow says The Outlook. Capt.
Patterson, after sailing the sea for more than
forty years finally retired to little farm
near Barnstable. where he settled down, with
a horse. cow and two or three dozen hens.
His cow. though a lank and stubborn crea-
ture, was said to come from very good stock,
and when the Barnstable people took it into
their heads to have a fair captain Patterson
determined to exhibit his cow. But when the
day came for driving her to the grounds the
cow showed that she had mind of her own,
and would not bulge step beyond the farm
yard gate. In vain the old captain tugged at
the rope. pommeed her sides and pushed
her TANKS. The cow wanted to go to pasture
and was bound she wouldn't go to the fair.
Capt Pattersons patience was very nearly
gone, when suddenly an idea occurred to him
Though he was not strong enough himself to
force the COW to go to the fair, his training
suggested something that was. Tying the
COW to the gatepost, he went up into the loft
stepped to a dorymast Then he put a horse
Blanket belt through iron ring, strapped
the belt around the cow, inserted the end
of the mast in the ring, and bound the mast
to the side of the COW with some fifty feet
of rope.
The wind blew "quartering," and when the
captain united the COW and raised the sail
the canvas sweled out over the cows back
and away she went sliding down the road,
mcoing and lunging, and trying to stop her
self in vain. Capt. Patterson seized her tail,
and using it as rudder, guided her skill
fully in the right direction. With every fresh
puff of wind the obstinate cow would be
hurled along faster, while the dust bew up in
clouds and the sail tapped and tugged.
Capt. Patterson held to the mainsheet W tn
che hand and the cows tail with the other.
1t was hard voyage for both of them, hut
not long one, and when they came in sight
of the fair ground everybody ran out to see
the remarkable sight of a cow being sailed
through the streets like ship. Cheers and
laughter filled the air, and when the captain
finally whirled his COW around at the gate
of the fair ground and brought her neatly
..up into the wind the shout that arose
might have been heard two miles away. I'm
fortunately, Capt. Patterson's COW did not
take one of the prizes for blooded stock but
the captain himself was given special prize
by the fair commissioners for "tbe best de-
