"Farmer" Ryan Proved to Be Too Big an
Attraction.
Farmer" Ryan thought for a few
minutes yesterday he was having a
great time making fools of q big crowd
OF people, but when it led to his maxi
ing the acquaintance of more cock
reaches in 10 minutes than he ever sum-
posed existed, he changed his mind and
concluded it was he who was made a
monkey of.
Farmer" or Gus, Ryan is a member
of the Remember the Maine" company
which closed its engagement at the
opera house last evening. A part of his
business Is to do an advertising turn
ON the streets of the various cities fhe
company visits. He dresses up as a
farmer and goes out on the street on
a bicycle, and of course creates q great
deal of amusement for the other farm
ers who are disposed to regard his
pranks as funny. Naturally, a great
many people inquire who he is, and as
to furnish the information, the show
gets quite a lot of advertising. But the
farmer" was not considered 80 funny
in Butte-that is, by the authorities,
and he willnot only remember the Maine
now but he will also remember Butte.
Ryan gave his exhibition the first two
days the company was in Butte with
out Interference, but when he got up at
the Hennessy corner yesterday and by
running into street cars and hacks and
obliging them to halt and gather
around him, big crowd of people

counted the cockroaches in the general
corridor and unused on the unapprecia-
tiveness of the savages of Butte while
waiting for the manager of the show
to get around and get him out. The
manager put up SIS in the police court
to pay the farmers" fine and he was
released.

A Loud Protest.

Great Falls. Dec. 12-Cattlemen
throughout Montana and the West are
raising o loud protest against the change
made by the railroads of charging by
weight instead of by the carload, as for
merly.
They claim that it works an increase
In rates, which they assert were already
as great, If not more, than they should
be. Railroad managers insist that 1t is
the only just way to handle traffic, and
the only way in which overcrowdtng of
cars can be prevented. They insist that
the charge will be permanent in spite of
the agitation against it, which once be-
fore brought about return to the old
system after the weight per 100 has been
accepted.

A SENSATION IN BELT
Three Men Accused of Stealing
q Steer.
EVIDENCE NOT SHAKEN
Edwards, for the Prosecution, Stuck to
His Original story-Bowen Be-
came Hysterlcal in the
Court Roona.

Great Falls, Dec. 12.--County Attor-
ney Gormley returned to-day from Belt,
where he went to attend the prelim-
mary examination Of ]. r. Bowen, J.
e. Ford and William Van Bergen. ac-
oused of stealing a steer belonging to
Edwards of Box Elder. The examina-
ton was conducted before Judge Des-
combs and was very sensational. Bow
en- and Ford were bound over to the
district court in the sum of $500 each
and Van Bergen discharged, there be-
ing nothing in the evidence to connect
him with the affair. James Freeman
Of this city appeared for Bowen and
Ford, while William Murphy, Belts
silver tongued orator, appeared for Van
Bergen. A. P. McAnnelly of Belt as
sisted County Attorney Gormley in the
prosecution.
Bowen In his defense claimed to have
loaned his wagon on the morning i'll
question to a stranger who borrowed
1t for Ford. Later the stranger brought
the wagon back and disappeared. A
few minutes later, Edwards, the OWL
er of the butchered animal, came along
and in the wagon bed, under some
hay found the steaming remains of his
steer. Bowen admitted giving Ed
wards $50 to keep the matter quiet, but
claimed he done so to avoid disagree
able differences which might be drawn.
During the testimony Mr.. Bowen was
in the court room and was finally taken
out hysterical. Ford denied having any
nowledge of the matter whatever
Edwards the complaining witness
| could not be shaken In his testimony
by the cross-examination and insisted

took the met away in Bowen's wagon,
| in which which it was placed when fr.5t
! killed and left his horse in Bowen's in
order that the link might not be broken.
Owing to the prominence Of the accus-
ed parties, the trail was the sensation

there is much speculation as to what
disposition will be made of this $50 1t
produced in court. The school trustees
would like to have 1t turned over to
them. 1t would be quite a large drop in
the bucketful of money that is need

that Edwards found dressed meat in

claimed il for his own and took it home

Of time necessary to set down such notes
and then bring forth such tones are by
them not understood or appreciated. We
are confronted by music in the forest. on
the beach, in the shops and in the busy
city streets. For if all these sounds were
not harmonious every one would fall on
the ear as a hammer on an anvil. Each
bird Of the field has a music all it's own;
not all are equally melodious. The trill
of the nightingale is much sweeter than
the chirp of the magpie, although the
magpie's unharmonious call may have
more meaning than the melody of the
nightingale. Compare us, listening to a
maybe. to a person who, for the first
time, hears a Mozart sonata. Are we not
both impatient for the end? Yes, blu at
ter entering the secret closet which has
to be entered before one can appreciate
the beauty of the sonat one will never
feel unfamiliar there. The music
of the streets and forests is not all melo-
dlous, but If we might always live ar!
work to a choral or symphony, men and
women would be less Indifferent, less
cruel; but. perhaps, if a pause should
come. the brutality and chicanery would
break out with renewed violence. Yet
our actions move to a hidden music
a melody sweetly played in tune" A
lover, as of Old. will WOO his sweetheart
in n for music is the language of the
emotions and applies directly to the
heart. Then love and music go hand in
hand.
Music is not only the worlds conscience.
but also its comfort. What sweet comfort
it is one finds in the great, generous heart
of the art of tones.

THE EARTH AND IT'S HISTORY
AGNES HOLLAND,

The earth was supposed by the ancients
to he 4 disk instead of a sphere, as science
las proved. The Greeks fancied that their
country occupied a central position and
that Mount Olympus, a very high noun
tain, the Psychological abode of the go Is.
was IN the exact center. Their earth was
divided into equal parasitic sea, equiva-
lent to our Mediterranean and Black
seas, and all around it flowed the great
river Ocearus, in a steady, equable cur
rent, undistulbed by storm, from which
the sea and all rivers We're supposed to
derive their waters. The Greeks also
imagined that the portion OF the earth
directly north Of their country was inha-
bited by a fortunate race of men-the
Hyperborears. who dwclt in Kulbliss and
enjoyed ncver-ending s%pringtide. Their
homes We're said to be inaccessible by land
or ~ sea. They We're exempt from dis
ease. old age or death. and We're SO vir-
tuous that the gods frequently visited
them and even condescended to share
their feats or games. A people thus fa-
vored could not fail to be happy and
many were the songs in praise Of this
sunny land.
Eros perceived that it would be neces-
sary to endOw all living creatures with
instincts which would enable them to
preserve and enjoy the life they had re-
ceived. He therefore called the two
youngest sons of Iapetus to his aid and
bade them make a judicious distribution
of gifts to all living creatures and create
and endow a superior being called mar
to rule over all others. The gods then as
sembled on Mount Olympus, where, IN
solemn council, they decided to create wo-
man. n as soon as she had been art
fully fashioned each one endowed her with
some special charm, SO as to make her at
tractlve.

MRS. ROKER, ON COMPLEXION.
NOT A MATTER OF OUTWARD APP.
PLICATION.

Mrs. Rorer answers, in the Ladies
Home journal, an enquirer about good
complexion, reciting that it can only
come from a healthy condition of the
entire system and that it is not a mat
ter of w application, finishing with
the statement that "Your food cannot
possibly agree with you if you have
muscular rheumatism and a bad COM
plexion."
1t is a known fact that many people
fail to properly digest the starchy part
of bread and other food. Grape-Nuts

of the grape-sugar which results from

the body should do by natural processes.

"EDUCATTON FROM A NATIONAL.

In history we can trace the struggles Of
| nations and individuals not only for eX-
istence. but for progress. Each nation

The Jews, as we'll as other nations.
| thought they were chosen to transform
the world: the English claim to be the
rulers Of the sea and that their mission

Germans believe in their scientific mis-

rightly too, that America is a theater OF
liberty.
Education is not merely for the in.
structior of individuals, but for tho
Improvement of the race. 1t is a we'll
Known fact that every race can be civ
ilized or barbarized, and how can a race
become civilized unless by education?
Education is a term which is often con-
fined to book learning, but it has a wider
sphere than the one mentioned. 1t per-
tains to moral as we'll as intellectual fac
ulties and therefore must cultivate those
aculties which are the most elevate in
character. All the efforts of education
should be directed to the most philoso-
phical, the most moral and the most aes-
thetic ideas. If it is necessary for a na-
ton to have in its schools a thousand
and one different subjects, it is not nee
essary that each individual in the schoola
shall be taught each subject. The aim in
the public schools of any nation should
lie to give to each child a general educe-
ton which will fit him for the common
walks of life. "What subjects shall be
placed in the schools for study?" is the
important question that confronts each
and every one. Foui]e says: Make NOR
al and intellectual education as univer-
sal as possible and restrict objects of in
struction to the minimum absolutely nee
essary;'' and again he says, "the moral
and social ideas, with their accompany
ing sentiments, seem to me to be the end
of education. The literary, historical and
philosophical humanities on the one
hand and the scientific humanities on the
other are the means Of attaining this end.
But literature, general history n phil
osophy have a breadth that scientific
studies do not possess-they do not bring
into play the intellect alone; they affect
the sensibility and the will, the heart and
the character" While Fouile's theory
NAV not be wholly correct, yet since those
studies affect the moral, as we'll as the
intellectual faculties, they certainly de-
serve a place in the schools Of every ma
ton.
