A Little Trick That In Worked In

"There was q time and that not 60

puller in, when almost every other
store in Baxter street was a fence OF

bargains. The clerk who took a hesitat.
ing customer aside and whispered
fence was generally sure of a sale.
There are no genuine fences in Baxter
street now, because clothing, shoes and
hats are so cheap, but some of the stores
still pretend to sell stolen goods.
When q customer in one Of these
stores has looked everything over in the
shop and hasn't made a purchase. the
salesman tells him that he has q little
fence down stairs and urges upon him
the necessity of keeping it quiet on ac-
count of the police. OF course the u s
toner won't say a word. So down stairs
they go to the alleged fence, which gen.
orally proves to be a big trunk packed
with goods.
"While showing the contents Of the
trunk the salesman keeps up a running
yarn about the famous criminals who
brought the goods to the store.
"Finally, after showing a lot of stuff
Of the same quality and pattern the
customer refused to buy up stairs, the
salesman gets him to try on something,
and as quality, workmanship and per-
feet ft always go with fence goods,

Crippled at Play.

Exposure Causes the Downfall Of MANY Athletes
The Story Of a Man who was Stricken.
From the Free Press, Detroit, Mnen.

"You talk about ball playing" said
Charles w. Churchill, of 66 Miami Ave.,
Detroit, the we'll known travelling salesman,
who sells computing scales throughout Michi-
gan, will never forget the experience I
had while playing this game two years ago.
Like all young men 1 played ball, in fact
during my college days / was quite a bull
player. Ihad all the qualificationsto be o pro.

Is a travelling salesman.
Two years ago while spending a day in a
small junction town in this State, some of us
travelling men rent in the suburbs to see q
scrub ball game.
."Well, to make the story short 1 got into
the game in less than five minutes and wis
doing more talking and running than l had
for years.

coat, vest and hat of: Every time / made a

ground and try to cool of.
This was u dangerous thing to do in ny
heated state, and the next morning l could
scarcely walk. The physician that was called,
said l had rheumatism. was taken home on
acot.
"For nine weeks 1 stayed in my room and
Tor seven of those weeks I was on my back
in the bed.
THE day I played that game I weighed
14S pounds, and when ! commenced to be well
enough to lie out again, I only weighed 1l6
pounds.

Farming In olden Times.

Farming In Olden Times.
The Romans were the first people to
practice blowing between the rows Of
wheat as we do between corn. The idea
was suggested in a singular manner. A
warlike tribe, having ravished a section
Of land at the base Of the Alps, under
took to destroy the growing crops by
blowing them up. but instead it was
found that the rows accidentally hilled
were twice as large as those that were
not. The harrow or hoe used by the
Chinese farmer is of the rudest SON
struction. The pillow is usually drawn
by women Of the lowest classes.
Two hundred and fifty years ago,
when the corn stolen from the Indians
by our Puritan ancestors was planted in
the sand Of Cape Cod, the only instru-
ment used was q ponderous and ill
shaped Dutch hoe. which required a
heavy man to handle at all. Our first
processes were not much in advance Of
those Of the barbarians of central Eu-
rope. Today we number several hun
bred tools. from the most delicate to
the splendid specimen of the combined
reaper and thrasher, which cuts,
thrashes. winnows and bags grain at
the rate Of hundreds of bushels per day.

wAoNeR's METHOD.

when Poisoned with . Poetic idea,
He Wrote lt In Music.
'sln n OF his writings Wagner tells
us that he nevee felt any musical in
SEPARATION unless a dramatic idea had
taken complete possession Of him."
writes Houston Stewart Chamberlain
on "How Richard Wagner Wrote His
Operas" In The Ladies' Home journal.
"When this was the case. the different
personages would. n after another,
obtrude upon his fancy. gaining grad
ually in bodily consistency. Then, all.
Of . sudden. in the dusk Of evening, n
Of these creatures Of his fancy would
Else up before him, gazing at him with
eyes wide open. Fascinated and almost
trembling. Wagner would remain with
eyes fixed on those Of his guest from
dreamland. But. 10, the shadows lips
tremble and open! What issues from
them lie neither words nor song. It is a
superhuman language, but the poet un-
derstands it. and it remains ringing in
his ears when the apparition has van
ished. This is the precise moment of in
spiration. All that follows ia more or
less mechanical, more or less fortuitous.
Whether a work be written out and
completed ooner or later will depend
upon all sorts Of circumstances-time,
health, etc.
"This. then, is the essential thing to
remember-that Wagner never could
compose unless driven to do go by a
poetical idea peremptorily demanding
the language Of music for it's full and
adequate expression, and that, once this
poetical and dramatic idea clearly and
permanently migrated in his mind, il
'included'-if I may SO say-the music.

thor could find time for the business Of

II SIX HUNDRED.
Some Incident. of That Mad Ride 4,
Death ut Balaklava.

Some Incidents Of That Mad Ride to
Death at Balaklava.
OF that mad but heroic charge q hun
dred incidents are preserved-thrilling,
humorous, shocking. The Cornhill
Magazine tells Of a man Of the Seven
tenth lancers who was heard to shout,
just as they raced in upon the guns, a
quotation from Shakespeare, "Who is
there here would ask more men from
England?"
The regimental butcher Of the Seven
tenth lancers was engaged in killing q
sheep when he heard the trumpets sound
for the charge. He leaped on a horse.
In shirt sleeves, with bare arms and
pipe in mouth, he rode through the whole
charge, slew, it is said, six men with
his w hand, and came back again,
pipe still in mouth!
A private of the Eleventh was under
arrest for drunkenness when the charge
began, but he broke out, followed his
troop on a spare horse, picked up a
sword as he rode, and shared in the
rapture and perils Of the charge. The
charge lasted 90 minutes, and was ever
before such daring or such suffering
packed into a space SO brief? The squad
rons rode into the fight numbering 678
horsemen; their mounted strength when
the fight was over was exactly 1896.
It was all a blunder, but it evoked a
heroism which made the blunder itself
magnificent. And as long as brave deeds
can thrill the imagination of men the
story will be remembered Of how
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well
Into the jaws of death,
into the mouth Of hell.
Noble six hundred!

A New RAILWAY in Montana

The completion of the Northern Pa
ciic Ry., from White Hall, Mont, to
Twin Bridges, Mont, q distance of
twenty six miles, opens up to both the
miner and farmer the limitless re-
sources of the famous Jefferson Valley,
rich both in the quantity and quality
of its mineral deposits and in the fer
tility of its soil which for farming is
equal to any in Montana. The three
rivers which enter the valley separate
ly but unite before going very far, fur
nish an abundance of pure water for
all the present and future needs of the
valley.
Twin Bridges is situated in the north
western corner of Madison county at
the head of the beautiful Jefferson
Valley. On either hand are mountain
ranges stretching away in the distance;
here the contentment and freedom of
| the farmers life is contrasted with the
business activity of the miners voca-
ton; to the right the eye beholds herds
| of cattle and horses grazing on grass
| covered hills while here and there the
miner is hard at work extracting from
the earth its precious metals.
just at present the mining industry
is most prominent gold. being the
principal metal taken from the ground,
but with the Northern Pacific COM
pleted and in operation to Twin Bridg-
es, the farmer and miner alike will
prosper beyond anything heretofore
possible.
To the owners of mines the railway
will be of inestimable value andthe in
fiux of capital and consequent intro
duction of cheaper and more modern
mining methods, will be a Godsend to
numberles miners who have hundreds
of tons of low grade ore that could not
before be handled with profit owing to
the expense of hauling to the railway
by wagon.
AS a place of residence this valley
has found favor with many of Mon
tana's prominent people and the mum
