was associate justice of the territory
of Montana. His brother associate
justice was George G. Symes. and H
L. Warren was chief Justice. The
clerk of the court would make up sev.
eral pages of recorded marks and
brands, and the chief justice and one
associate would sign it, just as the re-
cord of the supreme court is signed
nowadays.
In 1877 the manner of recording
brands was changed. The duty was
then transferred to the territorial
treasurer. D. H. Weston, now bail
i'll in the federal court, was then treas
urer. and the record of the brands
for several years appears in his hand
writing. He had this work to do un-
til 1887, when the law created the office
of state recorder of marks and brands,
this having become necessary because

Miles City Bowlers Again Defeated by
FOrsyth's Invincibles.

The Forsyth bowlers, accompanied
by a number of our most competent
''rooters'' went to Miles city Sunday
and played a return match with the
devotees of the game Of that place.
The Forsvthlans left on the early
morning train, expecting to play in

entire day for the Milesians to muster
sufficient material and nerve to go up
against Capt. Holt's lusty bowlers, the
contest did not take place until in the
evening, and then much to the dismay
of the pumpkin rollers, for the Forsyth

157 pins.

Wool Market Continues Active.

The Boston wool market during the
past week has been fairly active and
the volume of business shows an in
crease. According to the American
Wool and Cotton reporter, the sales for
the week amounted to 4, 535, 900 pounds
While a fair volume of business was
transacted in the New York market
as whole, it has continued rathei
quiet, the same conditions also existing
in Philadelphia, both markets, how
ever, continuing strong.
The opening of several lines of heavy
weights at reduced quot ations as com
pared with those of year ago has
not appreciably effected the wool mar
ket.
The demand for territory wool keeps
up very we'll. If anything, there has
been rather more doing in this class
of stock, especially fine wool, which
is firm and in demand. Fine tertiary
sells at 40 and 47c, clean and upward,
according to staple and condition.
Fine medium wools are firm at 45c,
clean. Short clothing wools, from
which all the staple has practically
been taken have sold at 43c. Medium
clothing wools are quotable at ~ and
43c, some sales have been made at
those quotations. Choice fine staple
wools have sold at 48 and Soc, and it
is claimed that in one instance even a
slightly better figure than the latter
was obtained. Coarse Colorados have
sold at 13 and lac, in the grease. In
cluded in the sales of the week were
100, 600 pounds of fine medium terri
tory at 43c, and 100000 pounds of very
fine clothing at AZ and 4Sc. It will
not be long now before the attention of
the trade will again be turned to the
interior. In the course of two or three
weeks shearing will commence in New
Mexico. In March shearing will be
in progress in Arizona, and in April
in w. oming.

PERFECTiNG THE RECORDS.
LIVESTOCK Brands Of State Compiling
in New Form.

Clyde Smith, deputy register of
marks and brands, has just entered
upon piece of work which nsures
him enough to keep busy with for
many days to come, if there were not
already enough to require his atten-
ton in the busy office of w. G. Preu-
lit, secretary of the Montana Stock
growers association and state recorder
of brands.
The especial work now on hand is
the transfer from the old to a new and
complete set of books of all the 19, 600
brands which have been adopted by
stockmen and are now on record in the
in the state. When completed it will
be one of the most complete records
Of its kind in existence anywhere.
Some idea Of the extent of the work
may be gained from the fact that the
brands, when transferred, will I'LL be-
tween 1,5OO and 1000 pages.
The most of the work is done with
book typewriter and is as neat as
could be executed in print. In this
manner the date of the adoption and
recording of the brand is entered, to-
gether with the name and location OF
the owner and his range, says the
Great Falls Tribune. Then at the
left hand side of this record, where a
wide margin is left for the purpose,
the brand itself is drawn in red ink,
exactly as it appears on the glossy
sides OF the fat steers wandering at
will on the grassy plains of the Treas
ure state.
A persual of the Old record books is
almost as good as a brief history of
the early Montana judiciary. All of
the data were written i'm the books
with pen and ink. While most of it
is easily leglble, some of it is hard to
decipher.
The recording of brands was begun
in Montana in 1871, when it was leg
ally made the duty of the clerk Of the
territorial supreme court. James r.
Alden was then clerk, and he had the
distinction of beginning this record
which means so much for the protec-
tion of the valuable stock interests of
the state.

judge of the Montana districts of the

Didst thou ever see that lofty,
Towering castle by the shore?
Where the golden tinted clouds
Float around it cverm.reI
Gladly would it stoop and kiss
The refreshing waters below it.
Or high up into the sky ascend
With the misty vapors around it.
Truly, have gazed upon
This castle by the deep.
Where mist is round about it.
And moon above it sleeps.
Didst thou hear the strain of music
Coming from the towering hall!
Mingled with the rolling Of the waves
AS they slowly rise and fall?
The wind and all the waves
Lay in deep reposr,
While out of the lofty halls
mournf II iii. .e arose-
Up into the lofty tower
Went the King and his beautiful Queen.
Their brilliant robes all flowing,
.,d their golden crowns aglow.
Lids, see them lead with tender pride
beautiful maiden there!
Radiant 4 sunbeam
With golden shining h; ir?
In blackest garments robed,
Were the King andQ ueen that night
But the maiden has forever
Vanished from our sight.

Vegetable Caterpillar.

Among the many strange growths,
apparently freaks of nature, which are
to be found in New Zealand, the veg
etabIe caterpillar readily ranks among
the foremost. This caterpillar is sew
eral inches in length, is hairless, and
does not differ essentially in appear
ance from some of the caterpillars OF
our own land.
It's claim to distinction lies in the
fact that when it gets ready to die it
digs a hole for itself in the earth and
completely buries itself. Later a slen-
der green shoot springs from the spot.
This bears two or more leaves near its
top.
Upon investigation it is found that
the green shoot springs from the head
| of the dead caterpillar, and further in
vestigation develops the fact that the
body of the caterpillar is filed witt
roots.
The form is retained withou
change, and the roots do not pierce
through the skin or enter the ground
When dug up this dead yet ivini
freak presents a most odd appearance
for the head and even the eyes OF tn
caterpillar are distinctly seen, We
from the head is growing the gree
sprout, with its leaves.

James w. O'Bannon, chief yeoman
of the United States steamship Allan
ia, recently found an old Syrian coin
in Perambuco. Brazil. 1t is OF silver,
about the size of an English shilling
with a raised kings head on one side,
and on the other the figure of a wom-
an sitting spinning with a distah In
her right hand. Upon her left and
by the side of her chair is a horn OF
plenty.
The inscription each side OF the
woman is in old Greek text, and trans
lated is "Demetrius Softer, King"
"In place Of a date" writes Mr.,
O'Bannon, are marks which cannot
be perfectly translated by any Greek
scholar l have consulted, but most al
agree that these marks indicate the
eighth year of the kings reign. i
this be the case the coin is somewha'
older than the Christian era, for Kins
Demetrius ruled Syria before Chris
was born"

rhe ornament Mas Loaded.

The residence of Hiram Fulton of
Hartranft, Montgomery county, Pa,
presented a scene of CONSERVATION and
dismay several days ago when a
swarm of hornets took possession of
the entire house Unexpectedly.
Last fall Mr.. Fulton found an ex-
cellent species of hornets nest, and
finding it perfect and intact, he
thought it would make an excellent
ornament for his home. Acting on the
impulse, he took the nest home and
hung it in the parlor. That portion
of the house was very little used dur
ing the winter and several days ago,
when+his wife was preparing the house
for visitors, a fire was started in the
parlOr. The room soon became warm,
and their attention was shortly at
tracted by a loud buzzing, and the next
instant the room was filled with hor-
nets that came from the ornamental
nest. The heat caused them to come
out and resulted in a rush to escape
from the room. Several of the family
suffered from coming into contact
with the business end of the insect;
and over an hours time was con.
sumed in driving them from tbs
house.

value o. clty Playrrounds.

Fairgrounds greatly lessen the 1u-
venile mischief that often runs into
crime. A noted lecturer says perma-
nent Fairgrounds in cities are import
ant moral helps and that the police de-
partment in London reported many
years ago that crime was largely re-
pressed by giving children a chance
to work of their surplus energy in
play. New York city made the same
discovery, and not only provides sufi'
cient Fairgrounds for the schools, but
is rapidly adding to the number Of
small parks and open spaces in crowd
ed places. Play for children presents
itself to sociologists in these times
as a natural right, the disregard o
which runs up a heavy o agains

Thirteen Broken mlrror.-wow,

The fatality of the number 13 was
well exhibited yesterday in the estab-
lishment of Chaudron & Peyton, deal
ers in plate mirrors. A large con-
signment of French plate, 8 feet high
by 5 feet wide, had been received
from Paris for the Crystal Maze in
the Industrial Exposition shortly to
be held here. There were several hum
dred of these huge mirrors in the
maze, and they have been imported
in large boxes of twelve each.
Owing to the fact that an uneven
number are required, thirteen instead
Of twelve were packed in one box, ant
the number "13" in large back figures
was marked on its outside. The othel
boxes were all unpacked and the cou
tents found intact, but when the luck
less "13" box was opened every miro
in it was found shattered into frag
ments as though it had been subjecte'
to a heavy blow.
In such a large shipment of glas
there is generally a number Of plate

contents of box IS, instead of one c
two here and there, being SMASHED

the cars on the Troy and New Eng

The startling suicide of John Daily

of the White Pass and Yukon
road, was the talk of Skagway when
the Dolphin departed south last Sun
day night, says the Seattle Daily

fective method of shutting off this
mortal coil. He cut a hole in the ice
of the creek small enough to pass
through, squeezed himself down IN
the aperture into the icy cold waters
and showed himself along under the
ice for several feet before he became
unconscious. The man made certain Of
his death. He cut the hole so small
that there was not n chance in {
thousand of ever getting back through
Then, very deliberately, he took OF
his hat and forced his body down be

some SWIFT Fish.

Recent experiments show that the
dolphin, when pursued, can go
through the water at the rate of about
thirty-two miles an hour. This is
great speed, but for a short distance
the salmon can do better, since it has
frequently been known to swim at the
a OF forty miles an hour.
Among the smaller fish it is doubtful
if there is one which is swift
than the Spanish mackerel. As a rule

Baked Her watch in a MlnOe Pie.

There is one young matron of Hart
ford who will no longer her
watch when she goes into the kitchen
to bake pie. The baking of pie is the
only portion of the culinary work she
does and she does this because her
husband says it tastes like that
mother used to make"
Among the wedding presents of this
young matron was a handsome watch
which she thought so much of that
she wore it on all occasions.
She decided to bake a pie last Sat
urday, says the Hartford Courant. All
went we'll until a short time after the
pie was placed in the oven, when she
discovered that her watch was missing
from her chatelaine on which it usual
" hung on her dress. She hunted all
through the house, but could find nc
watch. The husband returned home
and he was told of the mishap. The
wife became convinced that some per
son had stolen the watch and she
could not be consoled.
The nice pie like mother used t
make was brought on for dessert a
dinner yesterday. and a generous por
ton given the husband. He looked a
1t and then asked his wife:
what kind of pie do you call this
my dear?"
