Mssoula. April S.--And it came to
that was builded by the river even in
the place that was called in the Ian
guage of its people, MissOula, that
there was sore distress among the peo-
pie and they We're wroth even unto
grievous anger. And they counseled
one with another, for they We're ex-
ceeding wroth. And, behold, their an
ger was not without cause. For the
city that was bulded by the river. even
the city that had been builded by Cap
higgins and had grown great under the
direction of Abb whose lands were of
many acres and whose houses We're as
the sands of the sea, even this city
was, as created and given unto these
men, place of great beauty. Its streets
We're as the shores of the sea, smooth
and beautiful, and its waters were as
sent from heaven. And there were
many people within its gates. Its trees
flowers We're of many colors and full of
fragrance. And the people were pleased
when they beheld that their city was
fair to see, even the city that Gaping
gins had builded by the river in the
days of the youth of Billmurphy and of
the activity of Billberry. But of the
people that We're left after them in the
city, even after Caphiggins and Bill
berry, there We're many who did not

to do his work. but they We're the chiefs
of his captains, the rulers of his officers
and his scribes. And these were the
chief officers of Web that bare rule over
the people-Angy. who was the captain
of the legions. and Burger, who was the
ruler of the engine house. and Hughes.
who was the chief of all the scribes,
even these, and they directed the people.
And of the others there We're wise men
and prophets, who We're of the council
of Web. OF these there We're those
that were most wise, even among the
wise people of the city that was build
ed by thetriver. Out of the Eastward
came there unto the council of Web,
Jogreenough and Charlieowen. and
they were greatest among their people.
And from the Secondhand came there
Jack, who was called Mcbride. and

voted of those that dwelt in the hotel,
even of the democrats thereof. every
mothers son for himself. and he was
a big man in the Secondhand. From
the Thirdward came there two long
men, even Gibson and Broadbent. And,
behold, Gibson was a mighty builder
and buided well, and Broadbent was a
great plumber and charged according
to the custom of the people of his kind.
And from the Fourthward came there
Keim, even he that kicked against the
jobs, and Herzog. And all of these
We're great.
And, behold, in the reign of Web and
his council, was there much anger
among the people of the city. even
among the wise people who dwelt by
the river and they waXed wroth. For
there was much mud within their
streets, even in the streets that had
been builded as the shores of the sea
by Caphiggins. and the mud was in all
the highways. But of all the mud that
was within the city, there was no mud
like the mud in the street that was
called by the name of the builder Of
the city, even by the name of Gaping
gins, and that was the principal ave-
nue. of the city The mud that was
within this street surpassed all mud
that was within the gates of the city
For, behold, this mud had no bottom
and in thickness it was as the paste
of the billposter, even of the man who
spreads the gaudy paper of the circus
upon the walls of the city and upon the
fences and barns thereof. And the peo-
pie remarked that it was damtough
And there were within the city, in
the reign of Web. even of Web who

who rode upon wheels. And these men
were fiends, for they rode at all times
Then said these tiends, even the men
who rode upon wheels. one to another:
Behold, there is much mud within the
streets and We cannot ride therein.
Therefore will we ride upon the side

set apart for them that travel afoot. For
are we not greater than they that move
afOOt and can We not ride them down if
they get into our way, even upon the
walks that are set apart for them?'
And they rode upon the walks. And
they laughed Ha-Ha, even the laugh
of Web. And they said again unto
themselves, Tell with the ordinance
Of the city, even with the ordinance of
Web, the ordinance that says we shall
not ride upon the walks. For Angy
will not arrest us. Angy is out for

Angy that was captain of the legions,
and he said, 10, | am in a box But

that was carried into all
parts of the city. And that proclama-
ton was a dandy. 1t told the people
that roared that their roar was heard
and to the people who rode upon the
walks that they had offended the law
and that if they offended the law any
more they would be arrested and
thrown into the dungeon beneath the

done. And the people laughed.
And within the alleys of the city,
even within the alleys that were in
charge of the chief officers of Web that
