YOU'RE NOT IN 1T.

The Billings Gazette has risen to
nominate Senator Carter for vice
president. This sounds good on pa
per, but it must be remembered
that to the masses of the delegates
who will have the naming of candi-
date for vice president, the president
himself is considered a western man.
With Mckinley for president, which
looks like sure thing, the vice
president will be taken from a
doubtful state east of Ohio. In ma
tional politics the Mississippi valley
is the frontier, and Montana is non
est comestable.

The Koran gives story of some very
naughty fishes in David time. Know
ing that the Israelites were forbidden
to catch fish on the Sabbath, the wicked
creatures came out of the Red sea in
unusual numbers and kept in sight of
the people all throughout the day in
order to tempt them. On the approach
of night they returned into the sea
again.
In fatal moment some Of the Israel
ties yielded to the piscine blandish-
ments. caught several of them and had
them for dinner, whereupon David
cursed the Sabbath breakers, and God,
to show his displeasnre, changed them
into apes and pigs. For three days they
remained in this unpleasant condition,
when violent storm arose and swept
them into the sea. Pittsburg Dispatch

AN ELEGANT SUFFICIENCY.

Intelligent voters in this section
of the country are not blind to the
duplicity and hypocrisy which we
have often pointed out, and it is un-
necessary to inform them that the
sole aim and purpose Of the demo
cratic leaders of Montana is to use
politics for personal and business
ends at the popular expense. But
the one thing that should be by the
public seriously considered is the
question of honest elections, in which
coercion, bribery and buldozing may
not enter. The campaign of 1898
was sufficiently disgraceful in such
respects TO last lifetime.-lnter

A SMART LEGISLATURE.

The condition of Montana public
schools at this regretful day is a
monument to the stupidity and cul-
pability of democratic Legislature,
exercised during the last four years.
Serving the mammon of unright-
eousness, and padding the insides OF
their wallets, they altogether ne
elected the weightier matters-the
welfare of our public institutions
By this they consent to condemn
able system, which means to raise
up the children of our land in ignor'
ance.

His Sarcastic Reply to the Private
boarding House LandlRdy.
Mr.. Smithers is somewhat fastidious
young man who is looking for new
boarding place. Smithers can't abide
the regulation boarding house, and al
ways tries to live with private fam
lily. He is now convinced that an "ad.
which solcits boarders for mice pri-
vate family is often snare for stuffy
double fat, inhabited by one small fam
lily and "a boarders.
Smithers called one day last week at
a place with a glowing description just
on the flank of Michigan avenues aris-
tocracy.
"Hum! Suspiciously like boarding
house, " thought Smithers as he took in
the dimensions. A collarless negro serv-
ant who opened the door confirmed his
suspicious, but he had gone too far
then to back out. A sharp nosed, snippy
landlady came in with top lofty air.

THE SCALING LADDER.
How Ii Is Used at Fires In Very High
buildings.

buildings.
The most PROMISING pupils among
those admitted to the school of instruc-
ton at the New York fire headquarters
are said to be those who have served
an apprenticeship in professions that
have called them aloft Sailors, paint
ers, roofers and steeple climbers have
the advantage of their preliminary
training. The first thing that a neo-
phyte is called upon to learn is how to
handle the scaling ladder
This bit of apparatus is long, well
seasoned tongue Of timber with short
crosspieces passing through it, 1t ter
inmates at the top with long hook,
which has three or four ratchetlike
projections on its undersurface and
weighs from 30 to 45 pounds There is
a special knack in handling it dexter
ously, and many a time man who is
slight and small of stature can manage
a ladder which Goliath would find
difficulty in handling.
''There is no piece of apparatus in
the fire department, says one who has
made study of its methods, (which,
skillfully handled, can be made to serve
more purposes than this scaling ladder.
The longest extension ladder in the de-
partment measures 80 feet. but the man
with the scaling ladder can go up IA
or 8 stories without becoming exhaust
ed. AT fires before an extension ladder
can be put in position one fireman can
push scaling ladder into second
story window, scramble up and go from
story to story to the very roof. He is
followed by second fireman, who takes
his ladder with him story by story and
this fireman by third, until by the
time the first man has reached the top
there is completed chain behind him,
down which the rescued may be carried
and the fireman himself escape. New

Again we call attention to the fact
that good dairy bred cattle can be had
at quite reasonable prices. In fact we
believe that this is good time for
those who need this kind of stock to
invest In it. It is not hunting buyers
at scrub prices, but as compared with
the way other classes Of pure bred
lock are selling it looks cheap. There
will sooner or later be a reaction from
the craze for beef that has invaded
even the dairy districts, and with the
dairy industry promising a healthy
condition pure bred dairy cattle will
be in better demand than now. The
time to get good blood cheap is when
it can be had. Those who let pass bar
gains in trotting bred mares, beef cat
tie and sheep a few years ago are pay
ing much better prices for the same
stock now, and they might have been
sellers now instead Of buyers had they
invested at the lower prices then.-Na-

dismay that he was supposed to be an

cute the owners for unpaid taxes.

Parnell's Ghosts.

AS you are always glad to hear about
haunted houses in Ireland, writes
correspondent, may l add curious
story with regard to the home of the
late Irish leader? The story is made
more credible by the fact that there
was something in the late Charles
Stewart Parnell's majestic isolation
which reminded one strangely Of the
gloomy grandeur of the mountains sur
rounding his home. In the square en-
trance hall there is billiard table, and
the story is that the ghosts Of the old
house amuse themselves In this spot
after nightfall. No matter how the
billiard balls are left upon the cloth at
the time the household retires, they
will be found in different position the
next mOrning.-M. A. p.

Market Now Demands.

AS a general rule home butter max

stances where this has been reversed.

Cultivator.
The writer, having been conversant
with the cheesemaking industry from
boyhood, would not advise any one to
60 into it at home without some pre-
vtous practical knowledge of the bust
ness.
The markets Of the present day call
for cheese OF certain standard quail
ty. whether Of domestic or factory
manufacture. This standard must be
first class one In order to obtain a
profitable price, and unless one feels
full confidence IN his ability to meet
market requirements he should con-
slider milk as too valuable material to
experiment with.
Nearly every one, however, who con-
templates home cheesemaking possess

more or less experience, and to such |
direct my remarks. You will not find

The apparatus necessary to equip
small cheesemaking plant ought not to
cost much If any more than the uten-
sis properly required to turn a like
quantity Of milk into butter.
While aiming to make the same quail
ity Of cheese that comes from larger
factory, you should understand that
the greatest opening for the sale of
dairy cheese lies in the direction Of
small bulk.
The demand for fine full cream ched-
dar cheese that do not weigh over five
or ten pounds apiece is never fully
satisfied. Most factories object to pro-
ducing them on account Of the increas-
ed labor involved and the larger per-
centage of milk necessary to make
pound of cheese. The increased ratio
is caused by the more extensive evap-
Grafton of moisture from the small
cheese than from the large ones.
It should be borne in mind, however,
that these diminutive cheese bring
better price in market than the large
ones solely on account Of their size.
