New Version Of the Arabian Nights.

The Juvenile portion of the English read
ing world has long been familiar with that
wonderful compilation of stories known as
"The Arabian Nights" the solemn diction
of which is in marked contrast to the
trashy character of the stories. Jack Har-
din's Arabian Nights" presents them in the
earb of modern slang of the George Ade
style. The slang is amusing, and ii can
hardly be said that the stories lose any,
thing of dignity by being told in It. II they
lose something Of their solemn pomposity,
they gain in a new sort Of rollicking humor
which many persons will enjoy. The au-

ACTION ON FORECLOSURE.
Charles Spear Brings Suit Against
StoItz Brothers.

An action has been begun in the
district court by Charles Spear against
G. E. and F. G. Stoltz, doing business
at Park City under the firm name
of Stoltz Bros. The complaint alleges
that November 8, 1902, the defendants.
by r. G. Stoltz, executed their promis-
sorry note in favor of plaintiff for the
sum of $4,000, payable one year from
date, with interest at the rate of 10
per cent per annum
To secure the note the defendants
are alleged to have given a chattel
mortgage on 241 head of neat cattle,
variously branded and of different
ages. The cattle SO mortgaged were
then and are still ON the ranch OF
cefen. ants in this county.
No part of the, ncte, except the sum
OF 5000, has been paid. Therefore
Judgment of foreclosure and an order
of sale is demanded, together with at
torney fees of $3.50. The court is
also asked to require the defendants
t., pay any deficiency that may remain
after the enforced sale of the mort
gagged property.
H. G. Crippen appears for plaintiff.

JAMES RYAN ARRESTED.
Alleged Livingston Horsethief Is Cap
tured in Illinois Town.

tured in Illinois Town.
Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 10.-Sheriff A.
S Robertson of Park county, Montana,
today arrested James Ryan, an alleged
notorious horsethief, at Lexington,
Mclean county, and lodged him in Jail
at Bloomington. Sheriff Robertson
then came to this city, armed with a
requisition from the governor of Mon
tana for the e~xtradition of Ryan, and
Governor Yates issued a warrant for
Ryan's return to Montana.
Ryan's operations have been quite
extensive, and among those whose
horses he is charged with stealing
are Frank Beller and Ole Olsen, we'll
known stockmen of Livingston, Mont.
The alleged thefts were committed
two years ago and Ryan, after giving
the officers a lively chase, ,eluded
them and fled from the country. Word
was received recently that he was
working at Lexington, ILL.,, and Sheriff
Robertson, armed with a requisition,
came to Lexington, arriving this morn
ing and arrested his man, whom he
found on the streets wheeling a barrow
of sand. +

SUCCEEDS DOCTOR LINDSEY.
Doctor Smith Appointed Meat and
Milk Inspector.

Only a short incumbency was neces-
sary to convince Doctor Cliff Lindsey
that he did not care for the honors
and emoluments attaching to the Of
flee of meat and milk inspector for
Yellowstone county, and he resigned.
The resignation was accepted by the
state board of meat and milk inspec-
ton, which body met at Helena a few
days ago. To fill the vacancy, Doc
tor D. M. Smith, veterinarian and gov
eminent inspector of livestock for this
point, was named.
A New Order.
Acting on the suggestion of the
state board of health, the meat and
milk inspection board has made an
order that all cows owned by persons
selling milk, regardless of the fact
whether they are licensed dairy keep
ers cr have only a few animals from
which they are supplying neighbors
with milk, shall be subjected to the
tuberculin test. Doctor Knowles, state
veterinarian, is sending a letter to the
various inspectors in the state ad-
vising them of the action and request
ing compliance herewith. The boards
order follows:
"That all private cows from which
milk is being sold to neighbors or citi-
zens shall be tuberculin tested by the
various county inspectors with tuber-
culin, and that each inspector be in
structed by the secretary to ascertain
the names of the owners of all such
cow in the respective counties and
to furnish this office with a record of
the same.
"Said inspectors shall arrange to
test such COWS Immediately, and for
this purpose shall select some place i'll
the cities where not less than 10 COWS
may be tested each time. For this
puspose, and to facilitate such test,
the inspector shall notify 10 OF
owners, as he finds convenient, to
have their cows at a certain place,
to be designated by such inspector, on
a certain date for the purpose of tuber-
culin test, and if such owner or own
ers refuse or neglect to have such
COWS tested as is directed by the in
spector, the sale of milk from such
non-tested COWS shall be ~interdicted.
KINDLY follow out the above instruc-
lions at your earliest convenience and
furnish this Office with a list of the
names of owners of cattle such as
are above described and keep a dupli-
cate record for your office.

THREE BILLS
ARE SIGNED
GOVERNOR ATTACHES SIGMA
TuRE TO JUDICIAL MEASURES
SESSION WILL END TODAY
Message to Legislature Gives Assur-
ance That All Acts Passed Have
Executives Approval.
SESSION WILL END TODAY

Helena, Mont, Dec, 10.-The extra
ordinary session eof the Eighth legisla-
tive assembly will come to an end to-
morrow. There now remains but a
small amount of routine work to com
clude the business.
Three of the judicial bills are now
laws. They VIZ the change of venue,
the disqualification of Judges and Civ
ing the supreme court the power to re-
view the facts in equity cases.
Late this afternoon the governor
turned these bills w to the secretary
of state with his signature.
The Meyer bill to tax the costs in
change of venue cases has not yet
reached the governor, but in a message
to the house transmitting substitute
for house bill No. 2 with his approval,
the governor announced that he would
approve all of the bills passed by the
legislature and specified in his call.
The governor has also approved the
bill providing for the submission to the
people of a constitutional amendment
making the child labor law and the
eight-hour law a part of the constitu-
tion. He also approved the %appropria-
ticn bill.
There are three measures that have
not yet reached him, but they have
passed both houses and are with the
enrolling committees. One is the
Meyer bill for the payment Of costs,
the other is the house bill appropriate
ing $1,000 for a clerk in the Office OF
the state superintendent of public in
%struction, and the other is the Ralston
memorial relating to the segregation
of public lands.
Neither body spent much time today
in actual session. Each was waiting
for the other and recesses we're ire
quent and prolonged. About 5 O'Clock
there was a disposition in the house to
hold a night session and thus wind up
the business, but word came in that
the senate had adjourned until IL
in the morning and them the house quit
until the same time.

The Bird Hat of 10O3-4
o..

IN the head of a young and beau
~ tiful Sister of Charity, whose bon
net had been blown of Just as he
passed, Louis XIV of France dropped
his handkerchief: and the shape taken
by the royal scarf is repeated to this day
in the curious-shaped hood of the wide
spread order. Not so long ago a man sat
in park and saw leaf fall. The
shape in which it was curled suggested to
him new idea for woman's hat. He
took the leaf home, worked out the idea,
and from the design evolved he realized
sixty thousand dollars.
Perhaps there is king or leaf or
something similar behind the hat which
appears to be above all others the hat
of the winter. Last year and the year
before, it was the picture hat, enormous
and shading the face like heavy frame
surrounding painting, capable Of lift
ing with the wind or of saving the wearer
from drowning, as it is recorded to have
done in one instance. This year it is a
fanciful extravaganza in colors, the
grace and sweeping charm Of the bird.
The bird itself is not always visible, but
the suggestion of it is there, if you look
for it. Of course furs and laces, ribbons

The Crow that Could Sing. A Fable
By W. Bob Holland
n CROW one time complained
n regarding his voice

TtRHTUIIIR HIS VOICE.
az am beautiful object
in many ways" the bird said, "but
my vocal equipment is all to the bad.
My voice is as harsh as nutmeg
crater and when ] speak tear the
atmosphere into such shreds that it
resembles a patent breakfast food
made of misguided hopes and faded
lime splashes. If could only lift my
voice in limpid Tilt l would be the
most popular thing that wears
feathers"
The crow finally appealed to Jupi-
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-12-06

ter, and In answer to his plea
given a vocal range that extended from t
engine room in the sub-basement to the decor
atoms on the ceiling over the gallery. 1t had
more curves in it than a mountain rail-
road and was as flexible as Q politi-
clans promises.
Then the crow few around over the
face of the earth with his Tyre tuned and
humming, knocking ell sorts of music
out of that ancient institution known as
the welkin. Tunes flowed from the crow
like advice from a chronic and persistent
failure, and all who heard were made
glad.
The crow thus attracted the attention
of man who loved music and who
possessed selfish soul. The man set
trap which caught the crow. The I'M
happy bird, its wings clipped and chain
around its hind foot, was kept in a con-
servatory where the air was SO hot and
damp that the crows pipes rusted. 4
Moral: The possession of great II
talents is of small value if un-
allied with judgment or
good manager.
There are other singers
who should receive
similar treatment.

We Don,t Need the Pole Now.

In my note on the results Of the
arctic expedition Of 1875, written
In the following year, l had already
come to the conclusion that there
was a deep sea and not land to the
north Of Franz-Josef Land; that
there was a continuous drift across
the arctic regions from east to west
and, consequently, heavy ice pres
sure on the western side.
All this was confirmed by hansen
in his great discovery of the polar
ocean. After his voyage there is no
longer any geographical object in
going to the north pole, except for
the sake of deep sea soundings, for
it is merely point in the polar
ocean, the economy of which has
been made known by Nansen. That
great explorer finally removed the
veil which concealed the secret of
the arctic regions. There is no
insuperable difficulty in reaching
the pole with an able leader and a
proper system, but there is no suffi-
cient object.-Sir Clements Mark
ham in London Geographical Mag
AZine.
