Two years ago democratic
speakers went about Flathead
county as they went about ali
other counties, crying calamity,
and prophesylng all sorts of evils
f the republicans carried the
election. The logic of events has
showed all their prophesies false
They prophesied calamity, ant
prosperity followed. scarcity {:
money, and money has been more
plentiful; harder times, and times
have become steadily better; fall
ing prices, and prices have risen
In county. state and nation there
has been a constant, and in many
cases a remarkable Improvement
1t is well to .member these things
The same croakers are talking the
same stuff this year that the.
we're talking two years ago, ant
there is no reason to believe tina
they are better prophets now thar
they we're then:-Irter Lake.

New York Telegram: Monday sew
en-year-old Abraham Eckerson OF
Guttenburg, N. j., was playing soldier
with his five little brothers and sis.
ters in the kitchen, when they were
suddenly confronted by seventeen
writhing, kissing copperhead snakes.
The largest, three feet long, led the
rest, and was making toward the
children when the boy saw it. He also
saw the danger of his companions
and screamed at them to run out OF
the room. They were so frightened
that they could scarcely move hand or
foot. Abraham drew his wooden
sword from his belt, and, jumping in
the front of the rest, struck the big
copperhead stinging blow. 1t recoil-
ed, bleeding. He then advanced on
the enemy and iolled three more of the
snakes that seemed ready to spring at
the children. The whole body of
snakes retreated as Abraham welded
his weapon. In the meantime his COM
panions were screaming as loud as
they Sould. Their cries brought in
MRS. Eckerson, armed with a poker
and powerful dog, Rex. While the
Newfoundland dog jumped and gnaw-
ed at the wriggling mass Mrs. Ecker
son thrust the children from the room.
She then returned and killed the rep
tiles that still showed life. When the
good work was over Mrs. Eckerson
tainted from fright and excitement.
The snakes are supposed to have been
thawed out of iog which had Just
been hauled from the woods and plac-
ed beside the fire.

1t was at smoker and foamer of
the telegraph operators that the dean
of the key jugglers told this one, says
the Detroit Free Press:
What brings it TO mind is the yellow
fever reports from the south. All that
you read can give you no proper con
ception of the reign of terror prevail
ing down there during the epidemic.
When they first ran Il railroad into one

| finally was able TO convince them.
The wife of one Of their number had
gone TO Mobile to attend n sick daugh-
ter who had been the beauty OF the
aeighborhood and had immortali2ed her
memory by being taken to some other
part of the world by a rich husband.
Through an arrangement with the Mo
bile operator the old couple carried on
Il conversation of such personal ma
ture that neither could doubt the iden-
tity of the other. Then the common
superstition of the people intervened
and they concluded that the lnstru-
ment was an invention of the devil.

Frank J. Mollenhauer is perhaps the
most expert engraver in New York, il
not in the world. In delicacy of touch
and skill in handling delicate instru-
ments his work is something marvel
Gus.
His latest achievement was to en-
grave the twenty-siN letters of the al
phabet on the head Of a pin. Under Il
magnifying glass the letters are clear
and distinct. and each is as perfect as,
any ever engraved for a visiting card
or wedding invitation. But with the
naked eye the minute letters are mere
ly scratches which have no discernible
form
Mollcnhauer's work was the result OF
an attempt to beat the work of Il man
who had engraved the Lords Prayer on
n Scent piece.-Ncw York Journal.

One of the most exciting of winter
sports is the sled rry-go-round. It
is built very much like an ordinary
boys whirlgig, only it is placed on
the ice. And for genuine fun it cannot
be equaled.
Any boy can make a sled merry-go-
round. All the material necessary is a
stout post, long enough to reach
through the ice and find a secure rest
ing place in the mud or sand in the
bottom of the pond. 1t should reach
about three feet above the surface.
When 1t is put in place hole may be
cut in the ice just large enough to ad-
it into place in the bottom of the pond.
II 1t is left over night the water will
freeze close around it and hold it solid.
In the top of the post large, round
bolt or spike should be driven. The
whirligig part of the merry-go-round
is long plank CT scantling with a
hole in the middle just large enough
to fit over the bolt or spike. When
this is in place the merry -go-round is
complete. Before it is used, however,
it is well to grease the top of the post
and bolt SO that the plank will slip
around easily.
Any number of exciting games may
be played with the sled merry-go-
round. Perhaps the best of these is
the sled contest. Two stout sleds are
attached to the ends of the plank by
long ropes. A boy sits on each of
them. Then half dozen other boys
stand near the post and set the plank
to turning, exactly as in a whirlgig.
OF course the sleds travel at exhilarat-
ing speed, swinging out at the ends of
the ropes and slipping and sliding over
the smooth ice faster and faster, until
the rider rolls off like the end boy in
cracking the whip. The boy who can
stick to his sled longest is the winner
of the game.
Another exciting game is played
without sleds. Skaters take hold of
the ropes, and see how long they can
hold on after the merry rygo-round is

it. 1t is hard to give cause for these
aversions. Why should the horse dis
like the harmless camel and be fond
of the dog? 1t must be that the horse
has dormant sense of beauty and of
humor The ideal of the horse is
grace, combined with strength. He
disapproves from the bottom of his ma
ture of the hopelessly vulgar, awkward
and unesthetical camel. The bear he
sees at once, though clumsy, is unpre-
tentious, truthful and not devoid of a
sense of humor. The dog he recog
nizes as good fellow, companionable
and unself!sh. A strong bond between
the dog and the horse is that they are
both fond of sport, whereas a camel
would not go an inch to see the best
race that was ever run.

In the queens garden was planted a
long row of sweet peas which grew
and blossomed as only sweet peas in
queens garden could grow and bios
som. How lovely they were, and what
delight were they to the queen.
One bright June morning three tiny
buds commenced to feel their way out
to the sun, and that they might sec
the queen when he passed by. But
long before it was time for the little
buds to bloom, they were caught by
one OF the tendrils of the vine which
held them fast. so that the stem on
which they grew was bent all out Of
shape.
One afternoon the gardener passed
by, and he saw the little crooked stem.
Oh" said the flowers, "he will snip
us off and throw us away; for would
not the queen feel sorry if she should
come along and find us growing here?"
And this the gardener was just
ready to do when something attracted
his attention, so that he forgot ell
about shipping them off, and for a
time they were safe.
Just at sunset the queen passed by.
"Oh," cried the poor little flowers, "let
us hide, SO that the queen cannot see
our deformity."
But the queen did see them. What
sweet little flowers" she exclaimed,
''and this evening in my hair will
wear you. Would God that my crown
were one-half as fair as the swee,
faces of these lovely flowers"
All that evening the good queen
wore the happy little flowers, and
then, when she retired for the night
She placed them in tiny jeweled
vase, that they might keep sweet and
fresh for the morrow.
oh" exclaimed my poor little de-
formed boy, sis that a truly true
story?"
Almost" replied.
"Tell me the true part of it." he
asked eagerly.
"You are the little sweet pea bios.
som, my boy, and mother is your
queen"
How the little lads eyes shone when
he joyfully cried out, "Oh! Oh! Oh!
and the queen loves me. I knew she
did. / am so glad, mamma"
YES" I replied, hugging him close
to mothers breast, 81 do love you.
But Jesus loves us more than we can
possibly love each other, and He has
seen me, and He has seen my darling
boy, and we know Him; so that by
and by He will come and take us home
to dwell with Him; there all the
crooked shall be made straight, my
precious boy" "Oh, how lovely" ex-
claimed the little lad.
