| It was about ten o'clock In the fore
noon when Montana Bill made his first
appearance at Cheyenne. which was
then the terminus of the Pacific road,
He came into town on horseback, and
his cayuse was on the dead run. Al
the animal was galloped up one street
and down another its rider fired right
and left and uttered blood-curdlinR
whoops. When Bill finally halted at
the crossing Of the two principal
streets he bowed right and left to the
crowd and said:
Gentlemen. the newspapers will give
We my name and history after 4 few
days, but in order not to keep ye in
suspense I'm goin' to say right yere
| and now that I am Montana Bill, from
nowhar' in pertickler, and from every
whar' in gineral. If thar's a critter
among ye who hasn't heard Of my
name and deeds, let him step forth like
4 man."
No one stepped. The shooting in
Cheyenne didn't begin, as usual thing.
until after midday.

to foller good manners and interduce
myself in the reg'lar way. Here am.
Sich Of you as knows me knows that
I'm dangerous when aroused. Sich OF
you as don't will find out in due time
Has anybody got any remarks to make
as to my looks?"
Nobody had. He looked about the
same as the rest of the bad meme
better, no worse.
HAS anybody got any flings to fling
at this cayuse, who's lost one eye and
is sprung in the knees?"
4 score Of men looked the animal
over in a neutral way and were indif-
ferent as to his blemishes.
"And yere's my guns" continued Bill.
Is he fired right and left over the heads
Of the crowd; docs any critter want
to obsarve that don't know how to
handle 'em, or that they don't look
dangerous?"
His guns appeared to be dangerous
enough, and his way Of handling them
was up to date. Later in the day there
might have been more general interest,
but at this early hour. before anyone
had been killed, Bills arrival was rather
q bore. The crowd was beginning to
break up, when the man fred the rest
Of his cartridges. threw up his hat with
whoop and then dismounted to say:
"Bein' as thar's no objections, I'll take
. drink and make myself at home and
purceed to run the town. If any Of you
wake up this afternoon come and see
me-"
An hour after noon several people
woke up. They also called and woke
up Montana Bill. There was nothing
in particular to dispute about or take
as the basis Of quarrel. but they be-
gan shooting at him on general prin-
ciples; and. as some one always had to
die on such occasions, Bill was called
in and his outfit rafled OF before three
o'clock.

Crop Statistics.

This country has little to boast of in
respect to the reliability of its crop
statistics. We make progress along
many lines, but errors in estimate of
harvested crops remain as glaring as
they were 20 years ago. When the
farmer has his wheat in the granary,
and should know the amount of this
grain in the country available for
home consumption and export, there
are no statistics at hand that he may
depend upon with a degree of conf
dence. Our government estimates may
be in error fifty or seventy-five millions
of bushels, as total movement of wheat
before the next harvest has shown
them to be in the past. This looseness
of estimate leaves one wholly at sea in
such season as this one, when the
crop on hand is possibly inadequate to
the needs of the market, and the future
price hinges upon the presence or alb
sence of q very limited quantity Of
grain. If our statistics were sufficient
ly reliable to enable us to know
within few millions of bushels how
much wheat was now in this country,
we would have data that might be
worth great sum to those of us that
have our old crops on hand. But past
experience proves that government es-
Inmates of stored grain are only huge
guesses, as indeed they must be when
there is no paid machinery for getting
at the facts. Cheap work is naturally
poor work, and all the money that goes
into this work of crop-estimates is paid
to few men who draw high salaries
and work over the guesses of men who
receive no pay and can not afford to
gather the actual facts. 1t is q loose
piece of business, and the farmers are
ceasing to trust it. We do not want to
be left dependent upon the reports is
sued by grain-dealers, and some more
accurate plan for getting the data
should be devised. This plan should
include sworn returns from all thresh-
ermen, in the case of threshed grains,
which would be nearly invaluable, and
the rapid gathering of okher data by
paid expets.-Farm and Fireside.

HOUSECLEANING DAYS.
They Should Not He Full of Disc0Pd
and Disorder Through
the House.

1t depends upon the womanly man
agement at the helm of the household
whether housecleaning days are a tim.
of discord and disorder or a season oi
peace. 1t would seem to be self-evident
that in order to maintain system in
any household nothing should be al
lowed to disturb the routine of the
daily work. All other work that is in.
troduced must be conducted as Incl
dental. This is true of the sewing work
housecleaning and all things that are
not a part of the preparation of the
regular meals or of the other daily work
necessary to maintain an orderly home.
just in proportion as this incidental
work is divided up into regular work
and thus becomes a part of the daily
routine does it become a matter easily
accomplished. 1t is always extra work
that is allowed to pile into a clutter
that disturbs the regular housework
and creates confusion.
The woman who is able to employ ex.
ira help for housecleaning days is wise
to do SO. Even where there is servant
il is seldom wise to call her away from
her regular work If it can be avoided.
The woman who must do her own
housework or do 1t with limited assist.
ance must economize time and put all
the time that can be thus saved upon
the housework. The work, of course.
cannot be done so rapidly by one per-
SON, but by steady though slow efforts
it can be accomplished. Nothing is
saved by tearing up large part of the
house at once, but more work is Gre
ated by the dust being scattered. The
rooms should be cleaned one by one
where there 1s@only one worker and
settled when there is time to do the
work properly and in order. 1t is quite
an easy matter to create more confu-
sion and dust in preparing to clean a
house than there was before. III the
dust is not scattered from one place to
another, if the rooms of house are
Systematically put in order and the
debris from one disposed Of satisfac-
torily before another is torn up. even
though only one person does the work,
it can be accomplished decently and in
order.-N. Y. Tribune.

AsparaEus.

Put the asparagus in a granite sauce

and sprinkle it with salt. Let cook,
keeping it covered, 20 minutes or longer
If you suspect it is not perfectly tender.

heaping tablespoonful of butter and
two rounding spoonfuls of -four. To
this add enough water from the vege-
tables to make, when done. a rather
thin sauce. After three minutes boil

add two beaten yolks Of eggs thinned

then let heat up again. Dip slices OF

LOOKING AT THINGS.
Exceedingly Uninteresting
World to Everybody.

It is a pity that more of us cannot
cultivate the twofold way of looking
at things. There would be less fric-
tion in life il we diu, and sweeter SYM
pathy, kinder understanding and
broader and fuller living. The fact
is that we never reach the dignity Of
true living unless we do learn this all.
important lesson. And that it may be
cultivated admits Of no doubt. 1t is
simply a question of schooling our
selves not to condemn generally what
individually does not happen to be to
our taste. If, for example, we prefer
brown as a color, there is no reason on
earth why we should condemn the taste
of anyone who preferred to wear green.
What the vast majority of us need is to
be little more self-poised, more ju-
dicial, more willing to see good in the
tastes of others, although they do not
please our own particular fancies. II
we all thought alike, read the same
books, saw the same plays, wore the
same colors, this would be an exceed
ingly uninteresting world.
We cannot see all things in the same
way, but we can come near to justice
and true respect by taking twofold
view Of things while still retaining our
strong individual views. Seeing possi-
BILE good or use for everything does not
necessarily mean a weak individuality.
The most uncomfortable people in tie
world are those who assert their judg-
ments in hard, decisive and final man.

Crab Toast.

The flesh Of one cooked crab, one
ounce of butter, two level teaspoonfuls
of -four, one gill of milk, half teaspoon
full of sherry or of table sauce, halt
tablespoonful of chopped mushrooms,
seasoning, rounds of hot buttered toast.
See that the flesh of the crab is free
from shell. Chop it. Melt the butter in
q saucepan. put in the chopped mush-
rooms and stir about till the latter are
quite tender. Now add the -four and
milk; stir till it boils. Put in the crab,
mix well and season carefully. Keep
it hot while you make some nice, thin,
crisp slices of toast. Butter these very
thinly and cut in rounds about the size
of the top of an ordinary teacup. Heap
on some of the crab mixture. Sprinkle
