The woman is yet to be found who

ever SO rich, or SO poor, SO accom-
plished or SO ignorant, SO practical or
SO lacking in taste.
Flowers, the beautiful and fragrant
gifts of nature. appeal to ALL the
strong and weak alike, as music ap-
peals to and soothes the troubled soul.
Thus it is not strange that every
woman with a decided partiality for
flowers should single out one variety

Even Queen Victoria in her declining
years worships at the shrine of one
! lovely blossom. Place bloom of every

which no others possess for her. 1t

nothing pleases Her Majesty better
than an Offering OF white heather, and

som.
Mrs. William Mckinley, wife of Pres
ident Mckinley, like Queen Victoria,
also loves one of the simplest flowers.
Though she has been presented with
the costliest specimens OF exotics, the
greatest novelties in pure blooms and
the latest horticultural discoveries, it
is said that she always turns to the
simple wild rose. as her choice among
flowers.
The lily Of the valley enjoys the hon
ored place in the affections OF the Prfn-
cess of Wales. In fact she is said to
have a greater weakness for simple
flowers than her royal mother-in-law,
the Queen. She has a great distaste
for the florists huge bouquets and, re-
specting this, the simplest and most
unassuming floral tributes are always
presented TO her. even at the greatest
functions. She has devoted a great
deal of time to the cultivation of the

From the tucked yoke which termin-
ates at the shoulders, begin the tucks
in the waist, and odd to say these run
up and down. The tucks in the waist
are about quarter Of an inch apart,
and are the size of a very small lead
pencil; they are not in groups. but are
measured evenly all around the waist.
The sleeves of this waist are pecu-
liar. The tops of them are made as
the yoke OF the waist. with tucks run
| ming around, and black silk braid, the
tucks and braid forming a cap over
the shoulder, and from the shoulder
down the tucks run as in the waist
from the yoke down.
| An ACCORDION plated waist of grey
and light blue stripes is very pretty
The accordion plaits are so arranged
that on the surface nothing but the
grey appears, but as the wearer moves
the waist, which is blouse, shows the
pale blue stripes OF the plating. The
yoke Of this waist is of accordion
plated grey mouseline do sole.
The shape of the yoke is very odd. 1t
is cut in sharp points. There are three
points in front, one in the middle and
one on each side; the ACCORDION plaits
are drawn tightly down, and only a
pretty crinkied effect is given. Upon
these points is set the ACCORDION
plated silk of blue and grey, and the
heading is of narrow rufiiing Of the
mousseline de sole.
The sleeves TO this waist could not be
hanlsomer. The upper part Is made of
the blue and grey silk, plated just as the
waist. but slightly puffed. and ending at
the elbow in a.ruffle of the silk about three
inches wide. From under this falls the
Cndersleeve of the grey meusselaine de
sole, in puff to the wrist, where it IS
gathered and continues down over the
hand.
OF course this waist is only for evening
wear, and the pretty skirt to wear with
it is one made of grey Crepe de Chine.
For the business woman the darker
shades in golden browns. greens. blues
and black are made into handsome waists

THE LEASING QUESTION.

The Montana Stockgrowers asso-
citation did a creditable thing at their
meeting In Miles City last week in
adopting n resolution opposing the
leasing Of public lands. Judge j. W.
Strevelle made n strong argument be-
fore the meeting in opposition to the
scheme. III, said the bill advocated,
II 1t became a law, would result In
driving out the small cattle owners.
Large aud wealthy corporations
would secure leases Of large tracts
before the poor man could put on his
boots. The law was favorable to
corporations and trusts, and he was
opposed to it. The public domain
was the poor mans help, and he was
unutterably opposed To anylaw that
deprived the poor man OF the rights
he now enjoyed. Under the law n
few rich corporations would control
all the public grazing lands and the
poor man would be without re-
course. The speaker dwelt upon The
great good the association had done
in the past, and he hoped it would
not put itself on record us iayOring
the law advocated by the National
association ond assist I'm securing the
enactment Of such an unjust law AS
the one under consideration.
Is. G. White, formerly of this county,
addressed the meeting briefly. Mr..
White combated the statement that
sheep destroyed the ranges. bespoke
as n sheepman OF Fergus county OF II
years experience, and said that last
year hay had been cut on the ranges.
With n local option law he said the
sheep men Of his county could shut
out every cattleman. The sheep men
were In the majority there and would
lease every acre of grazing land in
Fergus county. Mr.. White said the
public range was the heritage Of the
poor man and he opposed any change
In the existing laws.
Speeches were made favoring the
leasing proposition, but their argyll
ments did not find much favor with
the members. All seemed to fear the
danger Of abuse oi any law that
might be enacted regarding leasing.
There IL no question but the safest
, plan Is to leave the public domain
open To rich and poor alike, even
! though Ii may seem at present as
. though there were vast areas which
t cannot be cultivated or settled upon
owing to lack oi water. II only such
pieces OF land could be selected there
: would he little chance for complaint
e hut in making selections in large
9 tracts some portions Of the land
would doubtless be fit forcultivatioI
and provide "A home for an actua
settler, while the danger OF shutting
out water privileges Is very great.
$ We also doubt very much whether
the leasing OF public lands would
hasten national or state irrigation
enterprises, even though a portion o
the money derived from rentals wen
into n fund for that purpose. Once
In vogue, there would be n grear
e effort made To perpetuate thcsystem

As could have been expected the
resolution favoring the election of
United States senator's by direct vote
OF the people and which passed the
house with only fifteen dissenting
votes, has found it's quietus in the
senate. 1t has been referred to the
committee on privileges and cleo
tions, where it will doubtless remain
indefinitely or be reported adversely,
as majority ofthecommlttee are OPP
posed To any change in the manner of
electing senators. Senator Hoar In
a speech opposing the resolution
said that IL would destroy the
equality OF the states, subvert the
principles OF the constitution and re-
suit in an unchecked Democracy in
stead Of the splendid c~onfederacy OF
republics" The above sounds well.
but 1t IL nothing less than rhetor-
zeal rubbish To express IN old fOgy's
idea OF the constitution. The man.
ner of electing senators in no way
affects their status In the upper
branch of congress. Their powers
and duties are clearly defined and
the very fact that they are SO arro-
giant and dictatorlal is evidence
enough that they are too far remov-
ed from the people. The latter are
thoroughly In earnest in this matter
and the question will be brought up
before both national conventions az
