nounces that he shall resign his posi-
tion in May and leave. for the Cape
Nome district in Alaska. There he will
take position, probably counsel, with
the North American Transportation &
Traffic Co., and remain at least five
years. He has already engaged pass
age ON one Of the boats which leaves in
the spring. His former court stenog-
. rapher, F. w. Mettler, has been at
Cape Nome several months and has
opened a law office there. He is very
enthusiastic over the future of that
country.
Judge Dubose has been closely con-
nected with the courts of northern
Montana for many years, and in them
has earned for himself an enviable
reputation. When the 10th district was
created he was appointed to the bench
by Governor Toole, and was then the
youngest judge of court of record in
the United States, and his district was
the largest in the country, extending
from North Dakota to Idaho from the
International, boundary almost to the
| Yellowstone, and embracing the ter
ritory now constituting the counties
of Choteau, Fergus. Valley. Teton and
Flathead. The last two have since
been segregated from the district
Judged by the number of decisions in
which he has been sustained by the
supreme court of the state, Judge Du-
bose stands near the top in the list
of Montana's district judges. Better
than that, he has won the respect and
confidence of the people of his district,
for although it is strongly republican,
and he as strongly democratic, it has
twice waived all PARTISAN questions and
sent him back to the bench. once in
1899, and again in 1896. This is proud
record for any man, and it seems SUI
perfluous to add that Judge Dubose
will be followed to his Alaska home
by the hearty good will and the best
wishes of all northern Montana.

The little pig was not poular by any

to parody Mary and her little lamb,

numbered, and a grave will be dug
somewhere on Smiths island.

series OF more than 2.4O0 years. The
full and continuous history of the en-
pire was compiled In the second cen-

The great libraries of Pekin contain

works on astronomy which show a fair
knowledge of that interesting science.
Biographers, very succinctly written,
of the emperors of the most ancient

of learned men are as voluminous as
those of European nations. And all this
learning and love of learning has been
acquired without help or suggestion
from any foreign people. If their au-

five centuries ago mythical history
reaches still further back into the very

caused the horse raisers Of HolsteinS to
suffer much Of late. A stock company
has: been formed In Berlin for the ex-
press purpose of importing horses from
the United States. The Americans
have succeeded In breeding a horse
which compares very favorably in
every way with the Holstein animal,
especially In those points SO highly
prized in a work horse, namely, broad
hips and large build generally. The
best markets for Holstein horses has
always been the provinces of Saxony,
Thuringia and Brunswick. The de-
mand Is created by the large sugar fac
tories. This market has been decreas-
ing of3late. owing to American horses
being purchased In Berlin. A few days
ago. this Berlin company shipped a
drove of eighty through Hamburg en-
route for Milan. Italy. where they are
to be used on the tramways. Almost
every week. a long freight train filed
with American horses leaves the Ber-
liner Bahnhof for various parts of Ger
many. In spite OF expensive freight
and tariff OF 81 per head, the Ameri-
cans have built up very respectable
competition In the German market.

Clever Cevlce of a Chicago Woman to

The woman sobbed aloud. She coyly

Twin Chickens.

KS ..ssI - Twin Chickens.
Twenty-Five dollars TOR q pair OF
spring chickens is a liberal price, yet
a Massachusetts, farmer rejected it.
His pair OF chickens, he thinks, are
quite unique, for they are twins, five
weeks old, and it is said that two
chickens born from single egg have
never before been proved to live beyond
eight days. The buff brahma hen laid
rather large egg, but no one: thought
much about it until one morning the
farmer saw two bills instead of one
trying to break out OF the shell. He
quickly removed the egg to tho kitchen,
extricated the twin chicks, wrapped
them. in cotton batting and placed them
in the oven. For three weeks the
chickens were kept in doors on diet
of matted milk and brandy dropped
down their throats with medicine
dropper. The twins are now hale and
hearty and run about the yard as Wig
orously as any of their comrades.
One peculiarity, however, distinguishes
them from their mates. They are ex-
elusive little aristocrats and neither
of them will associate with any other
chicken except his twin.s ..,ss.9s, 3sys:...s
