JUDGE WOODY ONCE
WAS ONE OF EN-

Journalism In the West in the early
days of Montana was not always the
most alluring profession that one might
have wished. Editors labored under
difficulties and privations of which the
present generation has but faint idea.
Mails were at first weekly and, later
on, tri-weekly and in the winter we
were often 10 days without an eastern
or California paper from which to
steal our editorials, and clip our news
items, but when we did get one, and
made our clippings from it, the ex-
change looked as if 1t had been struck
by repeated discharges of a Calling
gun. While We had many disadvant
ages we were fortunate in some re-
spects. In those early days few of the
general readers of our weekly papers
ever read the eastern or California pa
pers, and when we were pushed for
time or could find no suitable subject
for an editorial we resorted to royal
seizure" and appropriated an able edi-
torial from some of the exchanges
which our readers never saw, and
which editorials were read by our
patrons with much interest. / remem-
Der very Well when we received the
news of the death of Napoleon Ill, in
1878, / wanted to write an editorial
about him and give a short sketch of
his career but there was not a work
of reference in town. Fortunately, the
San Francisco Chronicle, which we
received, contained an account of his
death and also an elaborate editorial
on his life and achievements, and from
this / constructed an editorial that
would have astonished the editor who
wrote the one for the Chronicle.
These offerings were hardly Iegiti-
mate, but were excusable under the
plea of military necessity" In the
early days the editors of many of our
weekly papers were not only editors,
but local" and often proprietors, and
they were required to furnish not only
the copy, but the means to keep the pa
per running-whch was not always
easy to do when we shipped our paper
by express to Missoula from Helena
at 1214 cents per pound, cash down, be-
fore we could get it out of the express
office. Talk about steamer day." No
one ever rustled on steamer day as We

He threw off stick on Ii Hung Chang,
And gave two sticks to Japan:
He took big stick to the Mormons, and
Belabored them all to man
He took up free coinage and then dis
cussed
The railroads and the crops;
Republicans and democrats;
The prohibs and the pops;
The America cup and the chances of
Columbia's winning the race;
Fitzsimmons, Jeffries, Kid Mccoy,
They each came in for a place;
The resignation of Speaker Reed;
The fierce political fight
That, bred in old Kentucky, keeps
A-breeding day and night;
All this was threshed out at lively rate
As matter of pure routine.
Two-thirds of the time an editors bra in
Works on as threshing machine.
But in scanning exchanges he suddenly
struck
A fresh, inspiring theme,
Which caused his brainery to scintillate,
And flash and glow and CLEAN.
He found that rival had jumped him
hard,
Had jumped him with both feet;
To jump right back was matter of
course,
He'd rather jump than eat

ONE AND ALL THEY'RE UP TO DATE

And vitriol flowed from off his pen;
And sneers came into play;
And verbal dumdum bullets whzzed;
Invective blazed away.
Next week that rival editor
Came back at him, of course;
And brickbats hurtled back and forth
With unctiousness and force.
To read their papers one would think
That murder was in store;
That both the men would shoot at sight
And daub the street with gore.
To tell the truth both felt that way:
Each felt inclined to shoot;
Each felt the other had gone too far;
And each was resolute.
And things went on this way until
The conclave came around
When the editors meet in brotherly
style.
And brotherly loves abound.
And they couldn't keep up their wra til
any more
In the midst of such good cheer;
And when they shook hands in the eye
of each
There shone gathering tear.
For this annual meeting is clearing
house
OF the years bad blood and spite;
And all old scores are wiped clean out,
And all is love and light.

winter of 1872-73 he. with some other
preachers, We're holding a protracted
meeting in the church. They had quite

meeting was in progress, / wrote a
short local notice Of it, in which I re-
