A Faf1ure m Cooperinr.

A certain man who was once a
prominent Kentucky politician was
more demagogue than statesman.
He was. according to Short Stories. in
the habit of Boosting that his father
was cooper in an obscure town in
the state-that he was lone of the
people" and didn't belong to the kid
gloved aristocracy."
The generals" great failing being
his fondness for liquor. it will surprise
no one to be told that the more he drank
the more loudly he detained his
political sentiments and the prouder
of being the son of cooper he became.
During political campaign. where his
opponent was the southern orator. Tom
Marshall. he had been unusually noisy
and offensive In his boasting regarding
his obscure origin. In replying. Mar
shall said. looking hard at the general:
"Fellow citizens, my opponents
father may have been a very good

gentlemen. that be put mighty poor

The heavy rains of Sunday caused a
large amount of damage In different parts
of the country. A reservoir on the Mid
dlefield (Mass. river gave away late Sum-
day afternoon, destroying large amount
of property and damaging the road bed
of the Boston & Albany railroad to the
extent of $3.50, 900. The railroad crosses
the stream quite number of times, and
the bridges and road bed were washed
away in many places. The Boston & AL
bany trains were run on the Boston &
Maine road on the Connecticut River d.
vision, while the necessary fills were be-
ing made and temporary bridges were be-
ing erected. 1t Is expected that the trains
will be run on the regular line by to-day.

Rapid Increase of Sheep. 5

Sheep are increasing in Montana at
such a rate that bands will have to be
cut down or ranges hitherto devoted to
the raising of cattle and horses must be

years by horse raisers or cattlemen, with
results disastrous to these winter ranges,

BRIGHT IDEAS OF

The city of Bizeman and municipal at
fairs entered under the control of DEM
ocratic mayor and a council composed of
four democratic aldermen and four repub
lican aldermen, Monday evening. In his
choice of men to fill the appointive Of
fees of the city Mayor Foster exercised
a non-partisan spirit, and while this ac-
ton may not meet with the approval of
the few, to the many his course will be
highly commendable. The record of the
old council under Mayor Awards admin
istration has been an excellent one. The
rate Of taxation has been lowered, the
expenses of the city have been greatly
reduced and for two years the City Fa-
theirs have been In nearly perfect accord.
While it is too early yet to pass judg-

has started out under favorable condi-
