FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Plaster Match Holder.

Dainty housewives who are not for
tunate enough TO have their homes
lighted by electricity are delighted over
the new designs In plaster casts
Whether one buys of the street vendors
or In the artshops. the little match
holders in the shape OF cherubs, jolly
monks. diabolical faces or angelic chill
Cren are quite welcome as novelties
When tackled against the woodwork
with brass headed tacks, with small
piece Of sandpaper underneath, their
usefulness is as apparent as the dec
orative feature very pretty panel
may be made by covering a thin board
two inches larger than the match hold
or with some art ticking or denim of a
humorous shade of the wall covering
and then fastening the plaster cast and
sandpaper to the covered board secure
ly. Screw eyes at the top of the panel
make II easy TO adjust to the wall.
The plaster cast fad is a dar -erous
one. but If it can be judiciously handled
rooms may be made very effective by
the correct placing of masterpiece re
produced in plaster.

The "Cry" Of SILK.

YOUNG VETERANS MEET.
Encampment of the Spanish-American

Encampment of the Spanish-American
Soldiers at Great Falls.
The second annual encampment of
the Montana department, Spanish
American war veterans was held at
Great Falls Monday.
Delegates were present from each
of the seven camps in the depart
ment, Anaconda, Butte, Livingston,
Bozeman, Kalispell and Great Falls.
After the routine business had been
disposed of officers were elected as
follows:
Department commander, Colonel
Byron H. Cook, of Butte; senior vice
commander, Captain D'Gay Stivers of
Butte; junior vice commander, Cap
tain John E. Moran, Great Falls.
Department Commander Cook will
announce the staff appointments
after his return home.
The encampment did not select a
place for holding the next encamp-
ment. This matter was left to the
department commander. If possible,
the encampments of this order and
the Grand Army of the Republic will
next year be held at the same time
and place.

ready In the combination is over 1,000,-
900, and it is expected that more will
be added, so that the merger will
eventually include nearly all of the
great transatlantic companies.
Mr.. Griscom, who is to head this vast
enterprise, was born in Philadelphia
in 1871. He received an academic edu-
cation in his native city and started
his business career as clerk in the
employ of the famous maritime firm
of Peter Wright s. Sons. Later he
was made manager and in 1868 became
a partner in the business. In 1871 Mr..
Griscom was elected vice president of
the International Navigation company
and became its president several years
later.
Under his management this company
grew rapidly. The Inman line of
transatlantic steamers was purchased
and its name changed to the American
line. The company practically owns
all the stock of the Red Star line, of
the International Navigation company,
limited, of Liverpool and of the EN-
pire Transportation company of Seat
tie. Mr.. Griscom is not only extern
sively interested and associated with
the management of steamship and rail-
road companies, but is director in
many industrial and financial enter
prises.
Mr.. Griscom was married in 1862 to
Frances Candy Biddle. They live at
Haverford, Pa, and have extensive So
cial connections.

ARROW HAD PIERCED SKULL.
A CHASTITY Relic Found Near White

Pine Bluffs, on the Columbia.
Conrad Weber of North Yakima,
Wash, who is working at the drilling
of the artesian wells near White
Bluffs, on the Columbia, came to
town recently, carrying with him a
CHASTITY relic of an Indians unerring
aim with bow and arrow. 1t is a
human skull, picked up from the
sand hills near that place, and near
where it was found lay the rest of
the skeleton. Through the forehead
of the skull was imbedded small
flint arrow point, protruding half and
nalf on each side. The point pune
tured the skull about one inch above
the inner part of the left eye orbit,
ana is so firmly set that a breaking
of the bone would be required to re-
lease it. The bone around the point
is not fractured, and shows indica-
lions Of contraction or Knitting"
The skull has the appearance of be-
ing that of a white man. The fore
head is higher than that of an In
dian, but it is marrow The skull
may be that of one of the victims of

SORGHUM FOR 1--we STOCK.
May BE Cut EARLY and VIII Shoot Up
md Make Green Feed For Fall.

and Make Green Feed For Fall.
There is a vigorous inquiry this sea-
son from correspondents asking for
particulars in regard to feeding sor-
ghum to different live stock. This mat
ter has been so thoroughly discussed
during the past two years that we
know of no phase of the subject upon
which we can give new information.
The most important thing to decide
upon is what class of stock you intend
to feed and to SOW your sorghum seed
accordingly.
A Nebraska correspondent writing
to us along about May last year. said
that he depended upon sorghum for
carrying his cattle through the hot,
dry days of August and September. He
said that he cut the first growth when
the plant was in the milk or dough
state. 1t was cured and stacked con-
venient in yards, where it was fed to
calves, pigs, hogs and cattle in the win
ter, and he said that all OF his stock
thrived upon it, This early cutting
was made for the reason that the roots
would shoot up again, and a lot of
green feed would be secured for the
late fall.
Last year he mentioned that he put
in feed yard about four acres Of cane.
He cut it three times and then turned
in a carload of steers that he wanted
| to fatten. In noting the results he said
| that he could hardly tell which the
steers liked the best, the green snap
ped corn or the cane that kept shoot
ing up until the ground froze hard. In
all of his experience he says that he
would not think now of getting along
any season without good crop of sor-
ghum cane.
| In dry seasons when everything else
| is dried up and seemingly dead sor-
ghum will stand still, but at the first
rain it will spring into new life and
make big crop after you have given
up all hopes. Farmers now harvest
sorghum with binder and shock It,
or it can be cut with moving ma
chine, raked and put in large cocks un
til cured and then stacked.
For making the largest amount OF
fodder the seed should be sown pretty
thick, and it can be sown either broad
cast or drilled in. OF course if sowr
broadcast larger amount is required
smaller stalks, and they are much
easier handled and are much nicel
feeding to cattle.-Prairie Farmer.

our body into new fields, making it
a power by means of the ballot for
the betterment of the workingman
and kindred classes"
