ernor Toole, was Thursday appointed

lings. He received the votes of the

Think of trying to saw into stove
length about II, $50, 600 cords of wood
and you have fair idea of the task
that would confront the person who
conceived the idea of devastating the
Lewis and Clarke forest reserve and
reducing its millions of trees to stove
wood lengths. The Lewis and Clarke
forest reserve is veritable empire of
timber. Despite the ravages of timber
fires and the occasional trespass of
the aXman, this reserve is one of the
most important belonging to Uncle
Sam.
The sheepmen of western Choteau
county have come to definite agreement
with the shearers regarding prices for
the present season, and the action
taken l., in contravention of the sChed-
ule promule ated last winter by the eX-
ecutive committee of the North Mont
ana Woolgrowers' association. The
executive committee rates were Z cents
per head for grown sheep and 8 cents
per head for warnings, shearers to
pay their own board at IS cents per
day, whether laying off on account of
rain or not The rate to he Maid in
that vicinity this season is the same as
last years cents for all kinds of
sheep, but the price of board has been
advanced to Fl a day. The chief rea-
son for paying the higher rate is to
secure large crews of competent shear
ers, who will get the clip of quickly
and clean. They are likely to leave
for other sections should the rate be
cut, and only local crews of slow
hands could then be obtained.

customs copies of an interesting list of
regulations establishing sort of civil
service for manual laborers. The regu-
lations went into effect on the 2Sth of
last month, in the District of Columbia
but their general circulation among
heads Of bureaus is taken to mean that
| they are to be observed in all employ
ment of laborers under the treasury de-
partment. There is very little unskill-
ed manual labor employed by the de-
partment here at present, so that the
rules will not require any changes
The rules contain the following regu-
Ilations as to who shall be employed, and
the conditions:

of applicants shall not be given any

THAT TIRED FEELING.

What constitutes % load dc.
ponds on the strength Of the
man or beast who has to carry il
and the conditions under which
he carries it. We hear peopl6
continually talk Of being tired
who have not done o sufficient
amount Of work to make them
so. This sensation is popularity
spoken of as that tired feeling"
People who have it often take
stimulants to drive it away tho
relief, however, is but momen-
tary. A relapse follows and they
feel more weary and depressed
than before. For the trouble is
not in the muscles but in tho
blood. Certain humors or poi
sons, arising from Indigestion OF
otherwise, deprive the blood of its
sustaining life-giving power, pro-
ducing q result similar to what
would follow from too much ex-
ertion and too little rest. But
whereas in the case of q healthy
person the tired feeling would pass
away under the influence of slean
and repose, it is not so in this
instance. On the contrary, sleep
itself is broken and imperfect, and
the sufferer rises in the morning
Unrefreshed and feeling as heavy
and dull as when he went to
bed, An effective remedy like
