prised cowboys refined in their fiery
steeds. Was the lady deaf? Why didn't
she run away or faint away? While the
wolves were pondering these questions
they heard a gentle but firm voice say
~Put down those guns y" Their dazed

conQueror picked the revolvers up and
ordered the enemy to right about to

tramp, the boys went marching Their
conqueror handed them over to the po-
lice and made charge against them.
The ladys name is O'MARA. IL is a
fighting name. and those cowboys,
drunk as they were, showed penetration
in divining that this was not woman
to be resisted.
So far we are on the highway Of fact.
In what follows we tell the tale as twas
told to us, but we warn Gradgrindians
that if they go on they will stray into
the underbrpsh and tangles of romance.
The vanquished were "sobered up"
under the directions of the victor When
they had been bathed and garnished,
when they shone with soap and ached
with remorse or yearning for another
hair Of tho same dog, one Of them was
seen to be Prince Charming fallen
into bad company. The accusing angel
paid the fine. Who're both deliberate,
the love is slight. She vowed to be his
bride if he would abstain from that
which prohteth not He vowed. He
rode pentently back to the ranch and
told 'the boss. Recovering from his
astonishment the boss" appointed him
foreman at once Convenient vacancies
and sudden D 'omotons seem to occur
in Montana in much the same way as in
OLIVER OPTICS immortal works. Pre-
sumably the predecessor of the reformed
cowboy foreman had just heard that he
had fallen heir 10 81, 500 900 by the death
of ANNEKE JAMS. At any rate, We are
firmly convinced that the Dry cowboy
is now foreman, and it is as certain as
many other things that "the nuptal

time "the boss" who must be q wealthy,
eccentric bachelor, will give the ranch
and his blessing to the foreman, or dis
cover that the latter is his long-lost
sisters second cousin.
But whatever romantic filigree has
disfgured this anecdote, the most scepti-
cal criticism will be forced to admit the
genuineness of its main incident. We
are not yet prepared to concede. how

no better reward than Montana cow

will Canada Hold a General Election?

While the Canadian Government has
made no announcement of It's intentions,
and is very naturally disposed to be reti-
cent regarding its plans. there is much
in the present situation which points
to strong probability of Il gen.
cral election during the coming fall
Many of the Conservative papers are
declaring an election TO be little short Of
certainty and there is an increasing
belief among the people that the Liberals
will appeal to the country for support of
their policies and their actions Some
regard an election rs inevitable.
A few weeks ago We stated that such
an election was not likely to occur unless
the Liberals could enter campaign
with full confidence that they would be
returned. Recon, developments afford
ground for the belief that campaign
may be essayed partly from feeling that
delay would be disastrous 10 e4.ibcrols.
The Conservatives are doing much to
strengthen their organization. Their
gain in the recent provincial election in
Manitoba is significant and it is reported
that the recent experience of Mr.. BLAIR,
the former Minister Of Railways, will
cause marked detection from the Lib
erals in New Brunswick The Canadian

Mr. I. J. REGAIN, who Yesterday contrasted
the feeling regarding the present immigra-
ton with that which provoked the Know
Nothing agitation of fifty years ago, cannot
have passed through that stormy period or
his recollections Of it are clouded. 1t ia not
true that no complaint was made of the
foreigners then that they chung to their
imported customs" and that they were
offensive only because they had the i'm
pertinence to try to place themselves on an
equal footing with the native stock" Actu-
ally, the complaint of them was largely
religious in its origin They were feared
as Catholics, with imported customs
Underlying Native Amercanism there
was an outspoken dread Of Catholic in
vasion" A specific secular demand of
Know Nothingism was that the period of
residence for naturalization should be
extended to twenty-one years, and SINH
lar demand is made at this period of an even
greater immigration.

the remedy for the trouble experienced

"What the farmer of Maryland needs is
