CAN'T RIDE.

The United States possesses the finest
horseback riders in the world, our style
being a free one in which the man be-
Europe the fad, since the Importation Of
wild west shows, has become the Yam
kee STYLE" in contradistinction to the
stiff, fashion-plate manner formerly in
vogue. There was much room for i'm
provement. With the exception of the
old Emperor of Austria and King Leopold
of Belgium. no one of the reigning fami-
lies of Europe can be considered an ac-
complished rider. Indeed the Emperor of
Germany and the Duke of C~onnaught
have both distinguished themselves by
recent falls from horses. The Duke of
Orleans. as we'll as Prince Victor Bona

sions to the French throne by their ride
ulOus feats in this line.

Many People Are Anxious to
Have Them.
PREVENT SHORT WEIGHT
The Revenue Derived Would be Suffi-
cient to Pay All the Expenses
of Maintenance.

Several prominent citizens are advanc-
ing the proposition of the establishment
of a city weighmaster, which, if ever per-
fected, would mean the city owning its
own scales. The men who favor this
measure are among the prominent bust
ness men and taxpayers, who express the
firm belief that short weight is often
practiced in the sale of coal and other ma
terials of a bulky nature. They claim it
is more true of coal, for the reason there
is more of it sold and a great deal in
small quantities, where an unjust dealer
can, if he SO desires, reap too large a
profit from poor weights Were the city
to own it's own scales, any person could
demand his coal to be weighed Upon the
city scales, for which he would pay the
city 10 cents and receive the actual
weight Of what he purchased either coal,
hay, or any other commodity. Com
plant is often heard of short weights in
coal and short measurements in wood.
but there is little, if any. redress on the
part of the hence the creation
Of the position of a city weighmaster is
being discussed. The poorer the man is
the more he has to pay for his fuel, either
WOOD or coal. Beng poor, he has to pur-
chase in small quantities and may get
short weight or short measure every time
he purchases. If he does, and he GER
tainly does some times. that takes Just
so much Of his money which would find
its way into some other channel Of rade,
to the benefit of himself and the commu-
nifty at large. The city government would
not be out a~nything-only the cost Of
putting in the ~scales-and the revenue
derived would more than pay for the ex-
pendtture and maintenance of q weigh
Some cities in the east have
adopted this system, and wherever es-
tablished it has met with the highest
favor. An effort will be made to have
the city council ~inaugurate the system.

w. G. T. u. MEETS

At the regular meeting of the W. c. I.
o., held at the home of Mrs. Lingo, on
Cherry street, Mrs. Cummings of Helena
was present, and after the usual order
of cuisines was disposed of, she favored
the union with a parliamentary drill,
which was both entertaining and in
structive. After adjournment, dainty re-
freshments were served and a social and
pleasant hour passed.
Meetings Of the union are held every
two weeks at the homes of the members,
and those who attend not only help
others. but find themselves benefited. 1t
is only by the cooperation of all the
members that the most effective work
can be accomplished. and it is earnestly
hoped hat each one will feel it a duty to
be present at every meeting possible.
1t will soon be found in this case, as in
many others, that the duty has become a
pleasure.

A TORREADOR'S RECORD.

During the last season a popular tor
reader in Spain took part in IS fights and
killed 1873 bulls. His net profit was $50, 900,
and the only injuries he sustained was a
bruise on his foot and a rather bad wound
in the leg. TIL risks are, of course, great;
but the men are SO extraordinarily agile
that grave accidents seldom occur. Some
times one will be badly gored, but a week
or two of hospital will generally set him
on his legs again. These men, often un-
educated and proceeding from the lower
classes, are courted and feared. and even
the larger newspaper of Madrid are
careful to give nothing but praise to
them, for fear of mourning their enmity
