THE w11Ds OF MONTANA.
Where Thrilling Adventures Are Not
Furnished by Bad Indians
and Wild Animals.

Il suppose things are still pretty
wild out your way?" he queried of
the man who admitted that he was
phia Press.
"Well, yes, you might call them
wild,' was the reply.
"And every day brings its thrilling
adventure? %
Zone has an adventure now and
then, of course, as might be ex-
pected."
Anything thrilling happened to
you of late?" persisted the ques-
toner.
''Why, I don't know that you'd call
it thrilling exactly. I sat in my Ii
brary few evenings ago reading
Shakespeare, while my wife was play
ing on the piano in the parlor, and
my little daughter was in the con-
servatory gathering dollhouse roses
All at once l heard a crash"
"Injuns attacking the house, by
George!" interrupted the other.
"-I heard crash from the grand
salon, and, carefully laying aside my
book and walking in there with Ian
guild steps, ! found"
"A grizzly bear, of counsel"
81 found that one of my three old
masters of Rubens had fallen down
and knocked the nose off piece of
statuary which cost me $4,000 in Flor
ence."
"And there were no Tniuns"
NO"
"And no grizzly?"
mo" 81
Not even a rattlesnake?
ut was simply the fall of a picture
and a broken nose. ] called in the
butler, the footman and housemaid,
and the debris was soon cleared
away"
''And you-you-" stammered the
man who had been waiting to thrill.
Nothing more, except that car
load of tapestries and foreign brio
a-brac arrived an hour later, and
few friends came in to sample some
French wine at seven dollars bottle.
Yes, things are pretty wild out our
way, but we manage to pull along
somehow"

A Deadly Weapon.

In Guatemala the favorite weapon OF
the native bandits and desperadoes is
sawed-off muzzle-loading shotgun of
the blunderbuss pattern, and when
they run short of buckshot they sally
out to the railroad and steal few doz-
en- seals, which are simply disks of
soft lead about the size of quarters.
Pounded into rough balls, they make
projectiles by the side of which a
dumdum is an angel of mercy, and when
one of their blunderbusses goes off ii
generally kills everything in sight ex-
sept the man directly behind it.-N. Y.

ONE OF HER PROBLEMS.
Illustration of n Salient Feature OF
the Task of Teaching the
Young,

mo truer dictum was ever laid
down." remarked a school-teachcr the
other day, than that all children
cannot be treated alike. A school
teacher more than anyone else ought
to know some thing of the diversity of
human nature after having had to
deal with children of all sorts of tenn
peraments, as she does. An example
will best illustrate what I mean by
not treating all pupils alike. There
is little boy in my room who has
given me great deal of trouble. ]
have been studying him for long
time, for / haven't felt sure as to
what was the best means of reducing
him to orderly submission. He is the
kind of a child who never fails to
create disturbance when I am out
of the room or when my back is
turned to him as the ranks are pass
ing out. One time after a number of
misdemeanors the principal and had
a consultation. The principal advised
a good, sound whipping. I was still
doubtful as to whether that was adj
visable or not. We consulted his
mother, however, and she agreed with
the principal.
''He was taken from the room. The
intuition of the pupils, of course, told
them what for, and when he returned
some moments later they looked at
him expectantly," quotes the Kansas
City journal. 81 never saw a prouder
person in my life than that little fell
low when he marched into the room.
He was the hero of the hour. The
eyes of all the pupils were upon him,
filled with awe, and he felt at once
that he won a great distinction.
grasped his disposition right there.
"'It is public opinion that appeals
to him. I said to myself.
''He has no inherent sense of JUS
tice. As long as he is the center of
attraction he doesn't care what causes
his public appearance. To make him
feel that his companions don't think
much of him is the way to bring him
to time.
81 waited my chance. One time
when / left the room he began throw
ing paper wads, and when I came
back | could see that he had been
holding high carnival in my absence.
I asked who threw the paper wads.
Several pointed to him and he smil-
ingly admitted the charge. Then l
brought him out on the floor and
tried to shame him in the eyes of the
others. I watched his face and tried
to say what would appeal to them.
Then when ] saw they looked pity
ingly at him l told him he would
have to go around and pick all the
paper up just Ike a JAM CT and that
he would have to renain each day
after school and pick up whatever
was on the floor.
''To deprive him of the glory of pa
rading down in the ranks. where he
always marched like general. that
was what affected him most. He felt
himself disgraced in the eyes of his
companions. I feel now I know just
how to deal with that boy, but it is
not through corporal punishment"
But that is only one instance.
Every pupil has to be studied in the
same manner by the teacher who
would be successful.

Resolutions ACOpt eti.

The convention of judges. held at Little Rock recommended 10 the leg. is1ature the repeal Of section 1700. sandels & Hill,s Digest Another bill WIS recommended to the legislature for q law requiring the state to pay all costs in felony cases when no conviction follows. but when tho trial results in conviction they think the state should bear the burden of the cost of the suit. inasmuch as the state reaps the benefit Of the services of the convict It was argued by gentle men that the state penitentiary was not only seltsustaining institution, but is mouey-maktag institution, and they could not see 1t other than that il would be fair that the state bear the expenses of the trial court in such cases.
 The following was adopted. Whereas. IL is evident from state ments made from various counties that the real and personal property Of the state is not assessed as the law directs at is true value. but is listed and taken at from 2o to 60 per cent Of the true value; and
 Whereas, Such assessment is i'll equitable and unjust as to the indi- yidual and as between the counties and unjust to the state in that the true wealth and worth of the state is not shown to the outside world; and
 Whereas. The present method ne. eessitates making of the maximum levy each year. and thereby preju- dicing Us in the minds of the invest or and homeseeker, therefore be it
 Resolved That il is the sense of this convention that every county judge in the state should use his in fluence to secure in each and every county of the state any assessment strictly under the law"
 The committee on good roads re- ported as follows: We recommend that the present law be amended to give incorporated towns their pro rata of road moneys received from taxation, to be used for the improve meat of the streets and alleys of said incorporation under the direction os its own officers.
