An AerObAtia Pianist.

A Milan correspondent tells of q
pianist named Bancia, who at Venice
recently set himself to break the rec
ord of piano playing, so far as time
is concerned. Apparently what the
musician had to surpass was a 40
hours sitting at the instrument This
he undertook to do by hammering the
keys .or 50 consecutive hours, that ap-
paling period being only broken by
three short rests of ten minutes each.
This feat was duly accomplished in
the presence of a committee of doc
tors and musicians. When the two
lays, two nights and two hours had
expired, Bancia played the italian ma
tional anthem with jubilant flourish,
md left the piano amid the enthusi-
lstic cheers of an enormous audience.
The whole of the receipts were given

AN INGENIOUS ARTIFICE.
Obtaining Measurements for
Saddle.

An elderly bicycle rider went to the
establishment of cycle dealer one
day and said to the proprietor: II
have tried all sorts of saddles and
never found one that I could ride on
comfortably. II you can make one
that will fit me will give you $25
for it,
"Come again in about an hour" said
the dealer, after moments thought.
At the expiration of that time the
customer came again. "Sit down."
said the dealer, pointing to chair,
land tell me what kind of saddle you
think you would like"
That's for you to DEVISE" replied
the other. II have no suggestions to
make"
"Well, I'll do the best can for you,
and take the risk" rejoined the deal
sr, and after few moments of desul-
tory conversation the caller took his
leave.
A day or two passed, says Youths
Companion, and a new saddle was sent
to his address. About week later
ne came again. Here's your $685." he
said. 1.-THE saddle fits me perfectly.
Would you mind telling me how YOU
managed it?''

piled the dealer. do you remember
my asking you to sit down in that
chair when you were here last?"
V"Yes"
"Well on that chair seat were two
sheets of paper, with sheet of car
oon-paper between them. When YOU
sat down you left the impression of
your 'ischiatic tuberosities,' as thew
are called, or lower-hip-bones, on the
white paper. 1t was easy to make a
saddle to conform to the location of
those bones, and"

Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1902-03-20

According to a dispatch sent out
from Red Lodge to various state
papers the sheepmen of Carbon county
are greatly alarmed at threatened
condition OF their flocks. The claim is
made that an outbreak of scab of more
than ordinary proportions and severity
has occurred, and it is furthermore
claimed that the disease is directly
traceaoie to the infected Oregon sheep
shipped into the state last fall and
ranged on the Grow reservation. It is
also alleged that several Wyoming
tiocks were secretly grazed on the res
ervation and there came in contact
with the infection.
