"LittIe Boy Islue.u

Under the haystack little Boy Blue
Sleeps with his head on his arm,
While voices of men and voices Of maids
Are calling him over the farm.
Sheep in the meadows are running wild,
Where poisonous heritage grows,
Leaving white tufts Of dowly fleece
On the thorn Of the sweet wild rose
Out in the fields where the silken corn
Its plumed head mods and bows,
Where golden pumpkins ripon below,
1rample the White-faced cows.
But no loud blast on the shining horn
Calls back the straying sheep,
Ana the cows may wander in hay or corn
While their keeper lies asleep.
His roguish eyes are tightly shut,
His dimples are all Mt rest;
The chubby hand tucked under his head
By one rosy cheek is pressed.
Wake him? No. Let down the bars
And gather the trnant sheep,
Open the harnyard and drive In the cows,
But let the little boy sleep.
For year after year we can shear the
fleece,
And corn can always be sown;
But the sleep that visits little Boy Blue
Will not come when the years have
flown.

The Beers and those who aympathize
with them will be temporarily cheered
by Sir Alfred Miners admission that
it is no use denying that the last half
year has been one of retrogression. Be
fore that Cape Colony was quiet. at
least as far as the Orange river. The
southern half of the Orange river colo
ny was rapidly settling down and even
a considerable portion of the Transvaal,
notably the southwestern districts,
seemed to have definitely accepted Brit
ish authority and to rejoice in the OPP
portunity to return to orderly govern
ment Now the scene is completely al
tered, and there is trouble all around.
OF course the British will keep peg
ging away, and IN time there will be
peace in South Africa. But 1t is sad,
slow and costly work. Humanity has
MT yet been staggered by the price the
Beers have made the English pay, but
that fact only shows that humanity is
MT easily staggered. The price has
been big and will be bigger.

4 VOTF-GETTEI:.

Several things were made plain Tues
day. One OF them is that Francis G..
Anthony, tax collector, is vote-getter.
Two years ago his vote was 1854. This
year it was 10,4S2, only 50 less than his
vote two years ago, and this in spite Of
the fact that he had an unusually pop
ular man to run against this year. No
wonder Mr., Anthony feels that he has
friends. He certainly has.

NOT AL FIE.

A change seems to be coming over
the spirit of one dream. Not many
moons ago there was widespread no.
ton that the cotton industry in the
South would so on conquering and to
conquer while the cotton industry of
New England went on languishing and
to languish. But it now appears that
all is not plain sailing for the cotton
manufacturers of the South. George B..
Hiss, secretary of the Southern Cotton
Spinners Association, says that the sit
uation among southern cotton manu-
facturers is discouraging. A year ago
sos. two-ply yarns were selling at thir-
ty cents per pound, and cotton was
about $50. Now the yarns are worth
sixteen cents, and cotton Is S.25. A
helpful feature. however, is that, by
the curtailment of opera tons, the sup
ply of yarns on hand among the COM
mission houses and the manufacturers
is fifty per cent. less than it was sixty
days ago. Another encouraging factor
is that some orders for export to China
have been received, thus opening a de-
mand for coarse goods that has been
closed for some time.
So it isn't all pie for the southern cot
ton-spinners About the only advan-
tage that now remains with the south
ern cotton mill is the cheap labor and
Long hours, night shifts and child-la-
Dor continue, but they are not likely to
hold ON forever.

To BE ABoLISHFD SOoN.

| The washington correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle asserts that there Is
absolute authority for the statement
that in less than three months all the
products brought into the United States
will be abolished by a proclamation Of
this government. The law gave the
Porto Rican tariff life of only two
years, in any event, and in it was the
proviso that whenever the local reve-
nues of the island equalled the expenses
of it's government, then the president,
in his discretion, could, by proclama-
ton, abrogate all tariff duties what
ever and declare for the products of
Porto Rico free entry into the United
States. Governor Allen of Porto Rico
has brought to Washington the infor-
nation which makes it certain that the
revenues of the island, within less than
three months from this date, will be
enough, and more than enough, to meet
the running expenses of it's government.
AS soon as that is fact, absolute free
trade between Porto Rico and the Unit
ed States will, 1t is declared, be de-
clared.
This is decidedly Interesting if true,
and there is no apparent reason to
doubt its truth One by one the roses
fall, and one by one the roosting places
of the "antis" are taken from under
them.

DOWN TOWN OFFICE.
Western Union Telegraph Company Ar
ranging to Establish One.

The Gazette learns from reliable
authority that the Western Union
Telegraph company is arranging to es-
tablish a downtown office in Billings,
and that the change will take place
sometime during the next 80 days.
This announcement will come as
glad news to the people Of Billings and
especially to those who have consider
able business 10 transact with the
telegraph company. Over a year ago a
movement was inaugurated to secure
a downtown office, and although it has
been sometime in bearing fruit it
comes as glad news.
For the past two years the telegraph
service in this city has been far from
being satisfactory. In the first place
the railroad and local work has been
done in the same office and by the
same corps of operators and quite
often there have been numerous and
annoying delays owing to the railroad
business being given the preferment.
During the past few months the SER
vice has improved some, but the office
is too remote from the business por-
ton of the city and the service is still
far from being satisfactory. This will
be changed when a separate and down.
town office is established.

SOME PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
BARRIERS Are After a Law Requiring
Examinations.

The Butte Barber's union recently
passed a resolution favoring the pass
age of a bill requiring BARRIERS who
have not been in the state a year 10
submit to an examination. A bill is
being framed creating a BARRIERS COM
mission, the members to receive. pay
for actual time put in.
Two sets Of laws need a complete
revision or a general Qualification.
The school laws are being framed to
meet a general demand for a more
adequate statute regarding the com
mon schools of the state, by a commit
tee of school men and trustees, and
during the last week in the month the
State Game and Fish Protective as
ISOLATION will put the finishing
touches on a bill that will meet the
approval of a large number Of sports
men. ~
Senator Biggs has been asked to in
troduce a bill requiring the inspection
of all Illuminating oils coming into
this state. The Office will be put on
a fee basis, and if the measure should
become a law it would be n Of the
best paying appointments within the
gift of the governor.
Nearly all the other states have an
oil inspection law and it is said that
a very inferior oil is often shipped
into this state.
Senator Biggs has also been re-
quested by the Woman's Christian
Temperance nnion to introduce a bill
prohibiting the sale of cigarettes.
Senator Hoffman reminds the senator
from Lewis and Clarke that such a
law has been declared unconstitutional
in several states.
If the legislature is so disposed it
will have IN opportunity to create a
few new offices. The sportsmen of
the state want a state game warden,
the boiler inspector wants an assist
ant, and the mine Inspector claims he
should have another deputy to have
supervision over the coal mines of the
state. There is said to be some need
Of two additional judges OF the
supreme bench, and the BARRIERS and
travelling library commissions will in
clude two lucrative secretaryships.
There are other offices that could be
created, among them being an insur-
ance commissioner. The attorney
general recommends that more help
be given his office, and the creation
of a railroad and warehouse commits
sion has been suggested.

Cody Enterprise Says It Will Not Inter.
fere with Trade of Billings.

In a recent issue the Billings Ca
zette, in advocating an extension of
the Burlington railroad from it's pres
emit terminus at Huntley, and also re-
ferring to the effect of building the
Toluca-C Cody road, makes the follow
ing reference to the great corporation
"The Burlington is unlike many
other roads, in that it is always
prompted by the kindliest feelings
toward communities upon which it
depends for it's support and patronage.
It never seeks to retard the growth of
any city or town it may enter in order
to benefit another"
Why, certainly not, and this is one
of the many reasons why the Burling-
ton enjoys such a vast popularity with
the public. It is operated on absolute
" fair principles, and to injure or de-
stroy communities in order to gain
temporary or sven permanent advant-
ages for itself is foreign to the conduct
Of the road, a fact very familiar to
persons who have observed the growth
of this corporation. There is ample
room, business and resources for the
continued growth and prosperity of
Billings and no feelings Of foreboding
apprehension are necessary over the

Sister of ]. B. Herford Recites Before
Famous Actress.

Mary H. Krout writing to the Min
neapolis Journal from New York
under date of December 80, regarding
a meeting Of the Twelfth Night club,
which had as its guests Coquelin and
Sarah Bernhardt, has the following to
say about Miss HEREFORD, sister of j. b.
Herford of this city:

ton of the 'saleslady, her ways, man
ners and conversation behind the
counter. And then occurred one of
the prettiest scene Of an altogether
interesting afternoon. Even during
M. Coquelin' s recitation there was not
absolute silence; some Of the ladies,
disregarding the presidents request
for silence, continued their nvers
tion in no every subdued tones. The
great artist-the great woman, set
them an example in fine II
When Miss Herford began she was
standing, and she remained standing,
disregarding the presidents touch
upon her arm and whispered request
to be seated. She looked the less dis
tinguished sister in the face with a
gaze that never wandered, listening
intently to every syllable, although
there must have been much of it that
she did not understand. The action,
the real genius Of the representation,
however, Bernhardt perceived uner-
ringly, and when it came to an end,
she seized the young woman by the
hands and congratulated and colnpli-
mented her III a stream of voluble
French. It will be an event in the
life of the woman thus honored,
which she will doubtless remember as
long as she lives. After smiles and
mods, Bernhardt was conducted to the
tearoom and sat chatting affably until
her carriage was announced"
