CHEERFULNESS.
Bodily Health and Mental Condition
Are Both Benefited by X.

Are Both BENEFITED by TX.
Some of the sunniest dispositions
are those of confirmed invalids who
have the strength of will to ignore
their own sufferings in order not to
cast a gloom over their family and
friends. So that it is not so much
condition of bodily health as of
moral, and we cannot doubt that the
physical condition is largely influ-
enced by the prevailing state of our
mind. 1t is not only that "a merry
heart maketh a cheerful counte-
nance" but it also helps to make
healthy body, for we are told by the
same authority, "a merry heart do
eth good like a medicine"
The correctness of this latter
statement is seen in the fact that it
is much easier for person to recov-
err from an attack of illness if he is
cheerful and hopeful than when he
is either Indifferent as to his recov-
cry or despairs of it. This is alto
gether aside from the strength of
purpose which often helps one to
throw off an illness by sheer force of
will.
Just as the bodily health is i'm
proved by cheerfulness so the men,
tai condition is benefited by it. A
sour, nervous, melancholy person
cannot take correct view of any,
thing. 1t affects his judgment in
business matters, inclines him al
ways to take gloomy view of the
state of trade and to believe that
every transaction in which he en-
cages is sure to prove failure. Were
the business world largely made up
of such men there would be an end
to every enterprise which involved
any element of chance, for they
would be unwilling to risk money in
any venture unless its result were
absolutely certain to be a success.
Besides this a morose man never
Judges his fellow men fairly, but he
is always on the lookout for flaws in
their character, and few persons oc-
cupying subordinate positions in
business realize how much the value
of their services is increased by the
cheerfulness with which they are
rendered. -CharlestOn News.

Duke of Wellington was asked his

"But we have always understood
that your grace thought Lord Com

VIOLATE THEIR own LAWS
WABASH LAWYERS ARGUE IN
JUNCTION CASE.

St. Louis, March 19.-Colonel Blod-
gett resumed his argument in behalf
of the company when the hearing in
the Wabash case was resumed this
morning. He read extracts from the
constitution of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen to prove his con-
tention that there were no grievances
entertained by the employees against
the road, inasmuch as the brother
hood, according to his contention, had
not proceeded in accordance with it's
own laws.
It's failure to do so, he claimed,
showed conclusively that there were
no grievances to be reGressed. He
claimed further proof of this in his
statement that the grievance commit
tee had never taken up any alleged
grievance. Z
Recognition of Union.
The whole thing lay, he declared, in
the recognition of the union, and fail
ing in this, the defendants had con
spired to induce the employees to stop
work, and otherwise injure the road,
The denial of the officials of the
two brotherhoods that any coercion
had been employed to induce the men
to leave the Wabash road was, the
speaker declared, not founded upon
fact. There are, he stated, benefit
funds in both organizations to which
the men pay monthly dues.
Plainly Showed Coercion.
There is in the laws of both organi
cations, he said, a rule providing thai
il any member declined to strike
when an order was issued by the Of
ficers, he should forfeit his member
ship and pecuniary benefits, and &C
ton taken under fear of losing these
was. he declared, plainly coercion.
Colonel Blodgett concluded his argu
ment with a general resume of the
evidence in which he declared it was
plainly shown that a conspiracy eX
listed to tie up the road and cripple its
commerce.
He was followed by C. N. Travous
who also spoke in behalf of the rail
road.

take it all through the alfalfa coun-
try, and it is reckoned that alfalfa,
fed to sheep, gives a value Of 81 per
ton, on the average. There is a yield
OF five tons to the acre, or a revenue
of $35 per acre, and no other crop
can equal it. 1t is generally reckoned
as worth IS per ton in the stack and
the enhancement of it's value by feed
ing may be readily seen.
There is a great profit in the crop,
ever before it is fed. The first alfal-
ia planted in the Yellowstone county
was a patch of % acres, sown by Jas.
Vestal, on Little Timber, in 1884.
Last year he contracted for. the irri-
cation, cultivation and stacking of his
crop at $1.25 per ton, he furnishing the
necessary stock and machinery. He
put UP 1900 or 1900 tons at $1.25 per
ton, and when it was in stack it was
worth IS, and was worth at least 81
when fed.
"Mr. Vestal's alfalfa field, in its
eighteenth year, yielded as heavily as
it did in it's third year, which is sup
posed to be the best. For a long time,
growers of alfalfa were discouraged,
because of what they termed winter
l,;1,;r~, o~ooo;opoJ11 in tho cnrinc
it would be found that patches in the
fields were barren. But the growers
have learner to reseed these spots,
and after a short time-when a good
| stand has been secured-the fields are
uniform, and there is none of the so
called winter killing OF course, it
will be understood that alfalfa needs
to be sown but once, and comes ur
every year thereafter i
"At places where a good hay crop
cannot be secured from alfalfa, seed
may be raised, and this has proved
most profitable crop.
"As 1 have said, the banks consider
alfalfa gilt-edged security. The small
farmer, with a supply of alfalfa, may
borrow money upon it, and the banks
will see that he gets sheep to feed
He repays the loan in three or fou1
months, and there is no danger Of loss
One farmer, if a more careful feeder
may derive a greater profit that hi
neighbor, but all do we'll, and alfalf:
has made wealthy men of many VIII
started with nothing. 49,
"The crop takes nothing away from
the land; all that is taken in growtl
is returned in fertilizer. The values
of lands are constantly enhanced b!
the growth of the crop, and a marke
for live stock is constantly at hand
No other crop is so we'll adapted t.
the poorer lands. 1t is a sure crop,
yields rich returns, it is bankable, an
I am sure that the farmers of northern
Montana cannot do better than t
raise alfalfa and feed it to stock"

e,LLlNcc TOOK CHAMPIONSHIP.
Individual State Bowling Honors Were
Captured by 0. c. ovren.

Captured by o. c. ovren.
Butte Miner: In the individual
tournament for the state champion
ship which followed the three-men
team tournament for the Brunswick
Balke.C ollender trophy, Billings came
out on top and for a year o. G. Ovren
will hold the individual championship
for Montana.
The tournament started with fifteen
entries, but on account of catching
trains for their home cities, v OF
these were compelled to drop out.
All through the series of four games
played the contest was full Of interest
and excitement and four men stood
a good chance for the first place up
to the last game. At the last the
tussle was between Mckinley of Butte
and Ovren of Billings. Up to the ev-
enth frame of the fourth game Nc
Kinley had a good lead, and at that
time it was thought he would surely
come out victorious, but Ovren, who
had been plugging along in his usual
style without saying anything, made
a squirt at the end and finished out
The last three frames with strikes,
making ninety pins. This gave him
a total for the game of 222 as against
1876 for Mckinley and a total for the
four games of SO2 to McKinley's 797.
Mckinley was a trifle to the bad on
his last frames or he would not have
lost. In the eighth and ninth frames
he too had strikes to his credit, but
in the tenth he missed a single pin
and the championship.
Ovren was one of the most consist
ent bowlers throughout the two days
and never lost his head o his con-
flence. He won .he championshD
ON good playing, an average of low
being a decent score for Montanas
state champion.
The scores made by the eight men
| entered were as follows:
Ovren, 1913, 1873, 1879, 222; total 802.
Average 2O0k.
Mckinley, 23s, 1913, 10, 1876; total,
797. Average, 1894.
Alkire, 1874, 176, 1911, 225; total, 7S6.
| Average, 1862.
Kohl, 2o3, 1856, PIG, 1877; total, 776.
Average, 1914.
Adams 200, 1873, 1856, 20S; total, TAT.
Average, 1864.
Fisher, 1874, 100, 161, 176; total, I'll.
Average, 177%.
Mcmillan, 100, 2O2, 1852, 159; total,
FOB. Average, 175A.
Markley, 200, III, 1T, 1853; total,
FOL. Average, 175A.
The game in which Ovren pulled out
was played on the Pfster alleys
Many good scores were made, as may
be seen by the list, and the loves
man had an average he need not be
ashamed of. Nine of the scores ran
over the 200 mark, nine in the 1905
and of the other IA but four ran under
ITO.
Kohl had as good a chance as any
but for the unfortunate game in which
he made only 1856. In this game he hao
two splits and one error, while in the
other seven frames, try as he would
he could not get a strike, finishing
with sever spares to his credit.
Mckinley made the high col witt
23S, Alkire second with 225 and Ovre1
next with 222.

CAPITAL SUBSCRIBED FOR WOOL.
EN- MILL COMPANY.
ARE PREPARED TO ASSIST
Business Men Will Take Liberal
Amount Of Stock in Proposed
Organization.

YSIdy lSLLleuI VI d WOOlcu A11A az
Hukings may be said to have assumed
~concrete form and an earnest effort
Is now making in the direction of Sc
curing such a plant. 1t took much
time and patience to induce men OF
means to become interested in the
project to the extent of investing
some of their capital, but this has
been accomplished and about all that
now remains is for some practical mill
man with a small amount of ready
cash to accept the proposition the
people of the City will have to offer
and become interested with them in
the enterprise.
Last night a meeting of the Com
mercial committee of the Billings
club was held and the matter of the
correspondence that has passed be-
tween Doctor Allen and a California
man was considered. Some speeches
were made and the question was dis
cussed in all of it's phases. 1t was
finally decided to raise $12, 800, which
amount was to represent the Billings
holdings in any company that might be
organized, a like amount to be invest
ed by whomsoever accepted the offer
OF the citizens, the party accepting
it to be the manager and operator of
the mill.
While a mill may be built for less
than $25, 900, it was deemed advisable
to have at least that sum to begin
with, as money will be needed to pur.
chase a sit, erect a building and after
the machinery has been installed
some capital will be required to buy
stock and place the company's pro-
duct on the market. OF course, re.
turns need not be expected until finish
ed articles are sold.
Of the $12,500 proposed to be rails
ed $500 was subscribed at the meet
ing, while several thousand dollars
more were practically promised
Those who subscribed were:
P. B. Moss, $1,000; Donovan-Mc
Cormick company, $1,000; Yege1
Bros, $1,000; Billings Brewing com
pany, $500; Henry Mueller, $500;
D. O'Donnell, $500; G. o. Gruwell
$500; C. M. Bair, $500.
In addition to these subscription:
several others were promised, maxim,
in effect about $500 raised at thu
meeting.
A good start having been made
the subscription list was turned owe
to the committee on manufactures
consisting of Christian Yegen, Phi
Grein and F. B. Connolly, with instrue
tions to make a canvass of the cit,
and secure additional subscribers t
stock to make the full amount it i
proposed to raise.
While primarily the action of las
night was in response to the offe
made by the California nan mention
ed in yesterdays Gazette, the none
TO be raised will be held as a fun
toward the acquisition of stock in an
company that may be organized, i
case the Californian fails to max
good or for any other reason neg
tiations with him are not successful
The money will always remain q
representative of the local capt.;
ready to be invested in a wooden mi
that may be built here, provided a liz
amount will be put into such an e
terprise by the party accepting tt
offer.
