DUMAS ON SNAKES.
a Characteristic story of the Impe-

a Characteristic story of the Impe-
cunfOus French Author.
When NJ. de Villemessant was found
ing LIE Grand Journal, he wrote to Du-
mas. asking for his assistance. Dumas
az once prepared romance in six vol
umes. In the meantime the editor
asked him for some articles or cause
ries, which were to be published imme-
diately. II have the very thing!' cried
Dumas. Il was just about to start on
a whole series about snakes" "On
snakes?" Eyes. l have the entire sub
ject at my fingers ends. / spent half
my life studying them. There's not a
soul who knows anything about the
dear, interesting little creatures. You
will find it will be a great success
this article" The editor, half con-
WINGED, agreed to accept this article
ION snakes" saying to himself, After
all, Dumas is very likely to hit on
something effective" "If you want
little cash in advance, you can draw on
me-" Il have plenty" said Dumas, "fcr
the first time in my life 1 confess; but,
still, really have enough"
They parted, and the editor returned
to his office. On arriving there he
found Alexander's secretary waiting
for him with the following paper,
ready signed:
Received the sum of so napoleons on
account of my story. A hearty squeeze
Of the hand. A. d.
The next day the secretary arrived
with the first feuilleton and a letter,
which ran:
My Dear Friend-Be kind enough to
hand the bearer the sum of napoleons.
A. d.
The very same evening came dis
patch from Havre:
On receipt of this please send 20 napo-
Icons to my lodgings at Frascati. A
thousand thanks. A. d.
An hour later came another:
My Dear Boy-I should have said 10.
not TO- maps. You are my best friend.
The feuilleton is on the road.
A. DUMAS.
The finale of this capital story is no
less Characteristic. The feuilleton ar
rived by post on the following day and
was found to contain exactly four
lines of Dumas composition, two at
the beginning and two at the end OF
the paper. Thus it ran: Il copy from
my good friend, DR.. Revolt, the follow
ing particulars about snakes" Then
came long essay on that subject, all
copied out in his own neat handwriting
and closed by this original remark, I'm
my next / will deal with the boa con-
strictor, the most curious of all the
snakes. BLACK and White.

Earnings and Production of Employees
in Montana and Nearby States,
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS
Prospects Good for the Best Report
on Grain Production That Has
Ever Been Secured in the State
Statistics Being Sent in BY the
Threshing Outfits.

Some days ago the Helena indie
pendent gave some figures that are
to be incorporated in the labor divis-
ion of the biennial report of the bu-
reau of agriculture, labor and indus
try, regarding the wages ana per
capita of employees in Montana, in
which it was shown that wages rela-
lively were lower in 1900 than they
were in 1890. Commissioner ]. A.
Ferguson has completed a table
which shows the comparative wages
and production of Montana and ada
cent states, and from this it is seen
that while Montana leads in per cap
tia wages, she is second in the mat
ter of per capita production, Arizona
standing at the head Of the list in
this respect.
The figures for the several states
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-11-07

Comparing the figures for Montana
and Wyoming, it is seen that for $170
more in wages the Montana gives a
production 1921 in excess of the en-
ploye in Wyoming.
Commissioner Ferguson has labor
section of the report practically ready
to place in the hands of the printer.
It will be exhaustive and will in
clude data covering every phase of
the labor question, with irectory
Of the unions, statistics of the cost
of living, and conditions existing in
every portion of the Montana field of
labor This section of the report will
contain about $4,000 words.
One of the last departments to be
completed for the report will be that
dealing with the production of grain
in the state This is due to the fact
that statistics cannot be gathered
until late in the year Commissioner
Ferguson said that the re
ports of the threshing outfits are
coming in now in splendid shape,
and if the present rate is maintained
little longer the bureau will be
able to present this year the most
complete report on grain production
in Montana that has ever been Sc
cured from any source.

adage. Anyone dealing with us will
find it So which is the experience of
those who bought pianos during our

sell you piano by making a just rep

business, it is our desire to so do.
There is one thing we wish to 10,
and that is to refute any and all ma
licious statements concerning the
quality of our goods and our honesty
of purpose. We do not put this in the

RATES ARE CHEAP.
Passenger Fare Less Than One Cent
Mile on Trans-Siberian Road.

Passenger Fare Less Than One Cent
Mile on Trans-Siberian Road.
A commentary on railway passen-
ger rates is made by United States
Consul Henry B. Miller of Much
wang, Manchuria, in connection with
the opening up for traffic of the trans
Siberian railroad between st. Peters
burg and the Pacific coast, distance
of about 5000 miles.
The first class fare from Port Ar
thur to st. Petersburg is $62.57, or a
little over one cent a mile. The Sec
ond class fare is $4681, an third
class $3036. The first class fare is
less than the first class fare from
Spokane to New York, which S
about half the distance a passenger
travels on the trans-Siberian road.
To these fares must be a lded the
sleeping tar rates between Irkutsk
and Moscow or st. Petersburg; these
are, to Moscow, 1913 and 1854 for
the first and second class, and to st.
Petersburg, $1l.60 or S7.37, respect
lively. Only SO pounds of luggage, in
addition to hand valises, will be car
ried free; for all excess weight the
charge is $2.O6 for each 10 pounds
from the Pacific to st. Petersburg.
The cost of a first class ticket from
Japan to London varies from $118.45
to $144.50, according to route, and the
trip can be made in 25 days.
All travellers should be provided
with passports properly issued by a
Russian consul; they should carry
blankets and pillows, and they may
travel long distances without meet
ing anyone who can speak any Ian
guage but Russian. Meals cost from
20.6 cents to $1.03. There are only
two trains per week between Irkutsl
and st. Petersburg, but these are pro

BIRD DOGS.

Some of the Almost Human Work
These Clever CANNES Perform.
Reading denotes that dog is follow
ing a trail toward the birds by their
foot scent, as man in an analogous
manner might follow a flock Of sheep
by watching their tracks.
Drawing denotes that dog is APP
preaching birds by a scent in the air,
as a man might follow flock of sheep
by the long line of dust lowering over
and around the trail. Drawing is con-
sidered much superior manner to
reading. 1t is commonly marked by
greater accuracy, quickness of execu-
ton and dash of manner.
Pointing is the stop which the dog
makes when he has definitely located
the birds or when he thinks he has
done so. 1t is the preliminary pause to
accurately determine the whereabouts
of the hidden birds before he springs to
capture. If he misjudges and springs
in the wrong direction, all his pains
and labor come to nothing. In his
training he is encouraged to point, but
is prohibited springing, so that after a
time he makes his point and holds ii
stanchly.
If by any act, willful or otherwise
he alarms the birds and they take
wing, it is called flush. If the dog
when going up wind on game Pushes
the birds, he commits an error. If un
der certain circumstances he f1ushes
when going down the wind, the error
may be excused on the ground that be
ing up wind of them it was impossible
to scent them and therefore impossible
to know of their presence Outing.

WESTERN UNION WINS OUT.
Court Decides That 1t Has the Right
of Way,

or way.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. Am the de-
cision handed down yesterday by
Judge Thayer, of the United States
circuit court of appeals, in which the
Great Northern was worsted in it's
suit to GUST the Western Union Tele-
graph company from the railroads
right of way, the decision holds that
the contention of the Great Northern
Railway company in this instance,
meant little less than confiscation.
The circuit court of appeals also
further holds that the contract which
the telegraph company has with the
Great Northern was and is for a per-
petual right of way and is not to be
disrupted, but it is allowed that the
railway company is entitled to the
cost of transporting all material
which the telegraph company uses in
the construction of it's lines. The
litigation involves 625 miles of lines
built prior to 1892 and now valued at
$4,000. 900. The lines are on the old
ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
road, built prior to 1882, and are de-
cided by the court to be held jointly
by the telegraph and railway com
panies. The decision is regarded as
very important, in view of litigation
of a similar character now pending
in the east. :.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HOGS.

A farmer remarked the other
day to u company Of farmers
about the non'prevalence OF hog
cholera at this season of the
year. One man believed it was
because of the dry season. An
other thought that the disease
followed the feeding Of new corn
on account of the new feed i'm.
pairing the animals digestive
organ and this years corn had
been so high in price that hogs
had been fed on other feeds as
much as possible, were stinted
on corn, and hence we're health,
err. Another thought that on
account of the nigh price of hogs
the hogmen took better care of
their animals. Perhaps there is
more than one cause at work
Az any rate, hogs are healthy
this season, and the country was
never freer from disease. There
is little fear from any serious
decline in prices for two or three
years at least. Those who have
hogs should manage to have all
they can possibly care for on
hand for the next year or so.
