Snow Stops Bullets.

Snow may come into use for in
trenchments during winter military
campaigns as a result of late expert
ments made in Norway. Near Chris
tiana entertainments of loose snow
were piled up and bullets from a
Krag-Jorgensen rifle could not pene-
trate the snow more than a yard and
a half. The same result was obtained,
no matter from what distance the
shot was fired. Military experts,
consequently, point out that snow OF.
fers more resistance to the penetra-
ton of such a bullet than any kind
of wood, and almost as much as earth,
and that it is possible to use snow
as a material for intrenchments and
other works during a campaign.-Pop-
ular Mechanics.

Ed. Kelly, a young man who. has

Fergus county, had his right leg ampu-
tated four inches above the ankle
joint, at the hospiatl in this city yes

Several months ago Kelly became
afflicted with necrosis of the bones
Of the ankle joint, supposedly the re-
suit of a severe bruise. He spent some
time at Hunters Hot Springs with
out avail and a week ago came to the
hospital. The operation was perform
ed by DR.. Lindsey, assisted by Drs.
Chapple, Rinehart and Anderson.
Kelly recovered from the shock of
the operation in fine shape, and is re-

Metaphysics.


In the office of Theodore Burt
Sayre, at the Empire theater in New
York, an original aphorism is pasted
On the wall. Thus:
IF you don't want what you can't
have, you will always have what you
want"
A caller suggested that the saying
smacked Of cynicism. mot at ALL
returned Mr.. Sayre. Reverse it and
you will have the certain philosophy
of the contented man."
Reversed according to the hint, the
words read: 'If you have what you
want, you don't want what you can't
have"
The caller made another objection.
SHOULD you have what you don't
want, can you have what you do?"
perhaps not" replied Mr.. Sayre.
But if you don't want what you
dent want, you can have what you
can have"
The caller was much interested.
Suppose you don't have what you
can't want" he began, but the play
reader interrupted:
"You are 'gagging' the part" he
frowned, 'and that is not allowed"

LOOKS LIKE A DESERT.
Sheep Denude Parts of North Side
Range.

Range.
Pierre Wibaux and son Cyril and
Jack Surveys returned yesterday from
a trip to the north side range looking
over the Wibaux cattle and cutting
out cattle for shipment, says the Miles
City Journal. Mr.. Wlbaux's report of
range conditions on that side is cor
r%oborative of that brought in by 9TH
ers who have been through there this
fall.
Along the creeks of both Dawson
and Custer counties, almost to the
Missouri river, for miles back from
the bottoms there is practically no
grass, the vast numbers of sheep that
have been grazed there this summer
having almost converted those local
tiles into a desert. So poor are the
cattle as a result of this that 800 head
were turned back, being unfit for ship
ment, and in the words of Jack Ser
rugs, they looked worse than when
they we're brought from Texas"
The sheep do not all belong to par
ties in Dawson and Custer counties
by any means, but there are a large
number of trail bands. What will be
done with them this winter is a prob
lem on which there is considerable
speculation among critics of range
conditions here. There are reported,
however ample supplies of grass back
in the hills and the extent of that ter
ritory is so large that one who has
not been over it can scarcely con-
ceive of it's immensely, therefore,
when the snow sets in and water is as
sured in the parts remote from the
creeks, there will be no scarcity as
far as feed is concerned. The great
est danger apprehended at present is
prairie fire. If a disastrous %conflagra-
ton of that character should break
out and sweep the country, the loss
would be i~ncalculable. Therefore it
behooves everyone travelling through
that region in this dry season to ex-
ercise unusual precautions against
such a calamity.
The presence of these sheep from
other localities which eat up the
range to which those who live and
pay taxes at this end of the state look
for maintenance of their own stock
is also a problem which every year is
growing more vexatious and with no
apparent remedy. 1t is a condition
which is an a%ggravation all through
the west and if. some legislative Scion
can devise a scheme to adjust it, he
will be one of the greatest b~enefactors
of the west.

Livingston Firemen Think Its People
II Just About Fright.
+ THE Livingston. delegation to the
Montana State Firemen's convention
at Billings last week returned to this
city last Saturday morning on delay
ed Nc. 3, tired, but happy, and filled
with praise of their entertainers, and
the Maverick Hose company and the
citizens of Billings, says the Post.
When Captain Jack Bond was elect
ed president of the association at
Missoula last year and Billings select
ed as the meeting place, he told the
members of the association that the
Magic City would set a pace for enter
tanning that would be hard to equal.
Well, the pace has been set. The en-
tertainment furnished the visitors was
about the finest there could be. The
spirit which pervades the citizens of
Billings with regard to the stranger
within their gates is worthy of emu
lation. There be towns where such
wholesome and wholesale hospitality
is unknown, but Billings is not one
of them.
Mayor George, who is possibly the
most popular nan in the town, and
the town is full of popular men, sim
ply turned himself loose, and every
body followed his example.

AlI-American Bowling Team Now
Headed This Way.
From Fridays Daily Gazette.

228 pins.
The team will arrive in Billings at
1890 next Thursday. A number Of
one and twc-men matches will be
played in the afternoon, to be follow
ed by m game of the regular team
match. Manager Joe Tschudy of the
local alleys, is expecting a big crowd
to witness the games, and has had
calls for seats as far away as Sheri-
dan, Wyo. He proposes to cover the
third alley and place chairs thereon,
using but two alleys in the matched
games. He estimates that he will be
able to seat $50 people by this ar
rangement and is we'll assured that
every seat will be taken, as it will
be the most notable event that has
ever occurred in bowling circles in
the city.
A small admission fee will be charg-
ed and if any funds are left after pay
ing expenses the money will go into a
fund for the purpose of establishing
a regular club here.

PENSIONS NOT YET RAISED.
Status of the Bill Proposing n Gen.
 eraI Increase of Pensions.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The pension bureau has received several thousand letters from old soldiers who seek in- formation regarding bill which passed the senate and house at the late session of congress, increasing the pensions of all Union soldiers who served one year or more to SIP month. regardless of disabilities.
 This measure also increases the pensions of those who have lost limbs and suffered other disabilities.
 The measure in question did not become a law, as there was a disa- greement between the house and sen ate over the proposition to increase the allowance of all pensioners under the general dependent law to SIP a month.
 The senate declined to agree to the increase. and the measure is now in conIerence-at least, it will be when congress reassembles.
 As the next session will be con tinuation of the congress which ad- journed this summer, it will not be necessary to put the bill through the two houses again, and all that is nee essary to enact it will be for the con ferees to reach an agreement, which would be ratified by both houses and receive the presidents approval.

A TRIPLE SHY ON SPEED.
Builders of the New Maine Will
 Have to Pay Forfeit.

Washington, Sept. 2.-For the first time in the history of the United States navy modern battleship has failed to attain the speed qualitica- tions of her contract. The Maine, in her trial over the Cape Ann course, failed, by a fraction of a knot, to make IS knots per hour, as specified in the contract between the govern ment and William Cramp X Sons, of Philadelphia.
 The Maine, the keel of which was laid on February 15, 1899, the anni- versary of the destruction of the old Maine in Havana harbor, was the first of several eighteen-knot ships author ized by congress. In her trial she went over the course, two hours out ward and two back, at an average speed of 17.965 knots per hour, ac- cording to the official figures.
 Terms of the contract provide that unless IS knots are attained the build CTS shall pay forfeit at the rate of s25,000 per quarter knot between IS an 17H knots. There is no provision for a premium for excess speed.

His dis covery was brought about by Child CTS. He was discharged at Paris and returned to his old home.
