MONTANA MAN SPEAKS OF CAT

Wallace Coburn Tells Few Thjnos ia
Eastern Men About Range
Matters.

northern part of the state, was at Chi
cago recently and while strolling
about came in contact with a repre-
sentative of the Chicago Livestock
World, to whom he told a few things
! n regard to the cattle business in
Montana, while at the same time try
ing to convey to the eastern mind
some of the truths he thought should
be known to those who may be labor
ing under the deluded impression
that all that is required to grow
opulent and powerful as a cattle
king" is to own a few head of stock
and a branding iron, allowing nature
to do the rest.
Montana is a great state" he said.
mo Montana nan will dispute that
assertion, but the inference must not
be drawn that people can rush out
there, pick up a location on the range
and proceed to amass wealth or even
secure a competency. It simply can
not be done, rs many will discover
to their sorrow.
There are some we'll meaning peo-
pie in Montana who are somewhat
chimerical They are accustomed to
drawing fancy pictures of waving
fields of alfalfa on bench lands and
paint a rosy future when Montana
will be an agricultural state with a
dense population, covered with or
chards and vineyards. This sounds
we'll enough when printed, but as a
matter of fact nature did not design
Montana for anything of the sort. A
percentage Of it's area will eventually
be irrigated, but not until vast CAPT
tai has been invested. And in the
nature of things grass must remain
our principal reliance. We can raise
good alfalfa in some places, but !
have yet to be convinced that it can
successfully be raised on bench lands,
at least we have been unable to do
so. On bottom lands, with plenty OF
water we are growing alfalfa, but
that is the limit.
"Now a word of warning to the
eastern man who contemplates mi.
grating to Montana" said Mr.. Co.

ror of his life about this time and his
every step should be cautiously taken.

Exuensiye London.

The ordinary price for dinner at a
London hotel Is shillings; at a French
hotel @ francs. or Is. 915d Yet the
Paris dinner is at least as good, and,
In my opinion. it is generally better,
though 1t costs 20 per cent less. Look
at the prices at Doney's restaurant at
Florence francs for lunch, francs
for dinner. There is no place In the
United Kingdom where such good and
well cooked food can be obtained for
double the money. Yet everything in
Florence is heavily taxed, even down
to the salad.
At lie same time English innkeepers
and rcstaurateurs tell me that If 1t
were not for the profits on wine their
business would not pay. SO far does
this go that |. who am a teetotaler,
have often been charged l shilling ex-
ira in lieu Of wine at a London res
taurant. On the other hand, foreign
restaurants, generally speaking, make
n very moderate profit on wine. have
often discussed with Americans the
cost of living in various parts OF Eu-
rope. They are unanimous In saying
that for Il visitor-not necessarily for a
reG.dcn.-London is far and away the
most expensive city in EurOpe.-Lon-

Eirat Aid to Laundrynen.

The laundryman looked at the two
white waistcoats in the pile of soiled
clothing in front Of him on the counter
and remarked, "The habit OF carrying
pencils in the vest pocket Is a good
thing for our business"
How is that?" asked the customer
"See this streak of black here" the
laundryman replied, pointing to the
discolored cloth just above the upper
left hand pocket. Men get in the haD'
it Of putting lead pencils In that pocke'
in the winter time, and the marks the
lead makes on the dark colored ciotn
don't show. But they not only make
an impression on the light vests, but
the lead rubs off on the lining OF thei'
coats and helps to spread the stain.

That President Eliot's force of char

asked that President Eliot be appoint

Women and Teaching.

Teaching is often characterized as
one of the essentially feminine profes'
sions. but DR.. Earl Barnes IS OF the
opinion that there can be and are too
many women teachers in the elemen-
tary and secondary schools. At WON

spoke earnestly upon this subject. The
result, he said, Of putting education
into the hands Of women has been 70

up a corps Of teachers who, while they
are strong along the humanities, are
proportionately weak along the SCI
ences. Women, he thinks, have intro
duced too much emotion into theii
teaching.

INITIALS LOSING FAVOR.
The Growing Custom of Writing Out
the Name In Full.


Somcthing over twelve years ago
Georgia business man who now and
then mounts the lecture platform de-
clared in public address that the
two most ridiculous things connected
with civilized customs were the two
buttons on the back of mems coats and
the initials in front Of mems names.
"Who knows he inquired, what
the w. stands for in Henry w.
GradyY"
Since that time slowly but surely
the middle initial has been replaced by
the full name. The first initial had
fallen into disuse some years before.
II. w. Longfellow" had become Hen
ry w. Longfellow." This in turn, after
the poets death, was succeeded by
Henry Wadsworth LOngfellow." In
like manner it was not until the bril-
liant Georgian had passed away that
the world knew him otherwise than as
Henry w. Grady" The query of the
lecturer above referred to would now
be polntless. as the name of Henry
Woodfin Grady is today familiar to
every intelligent person in the United
States.
The use of initials instead OF the full
name seems to have had its origin in
a desire for brevity, as the necessity
for much writing grew without any
appliance for shortening its labor. The
custom was at its height about cen
fury ago. &c. Washington, b. Frank
lin"-these are the signatures that we
find on old papers. The use of initials
was almost universal up to the latter
part of the last century. Thomas
Darlington Macaulay called himself ST.
b. Macaulay." General Grant was
known as ~. S. Grant" The war
president signed his name "a. Lin
coin"
Whether the invention Of the type
writer was responsible for the aban-
donment of these senseless abbrevia-
tions or whether the change was the
result of the new craze for ancestors
about ten years ago the custom OF
writing ones name in full, which had
I'D to that time been restricted to the
English nobility and a few literary
and public men, became kind OF so
cial fad and spread rapidly among all
classes. 1t is now the commonest thing
in the world to find n successful grocer
who has always been known as "P. T.
jerks" renting a better house and her
aiding the movements Of himself and
wife as those Of "Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Pangbourne jerks"
Unlike most fads, the writing of ones
name in full Is a sensible and proper
one. There is no use in giving mar
a name If he is to bury it in pair OF
initials. Full names are also much les:
liable to become confused. The pass
ing of initials, while not yet complete
by any means, is making rapid prog
ress, and we are glad to see Italian

A Sneech Tint Eniled.

Perhaps one Of the most extraordl-
nary experiences in public life was
that which befell DR.. Miguel, minister
of finance. at the first sitting or the
Prussian diet in the new buildings at
Berlin couple of years ago. He In
troduced his budget in what was be-
lieved to be a long and Impressive
speech. But there no positive EVIL
dence upon the point. 1t was all dumb
show to the assembly. The acoustics
of the hall were so bad that not Il word
of the speech could be heard save by
those In the immediate vicinity OF the
orator. The chamber declined to dis
cuss the matter before them on the
quite reasonable ground that they
could not enter into matters the merest
details Of which they had not heard.
Hence the debate was adjourned 10

reporters had been able to take.

A Modern Indian Wedding.

A modern Indian wedding contains
grotesque combination Of civilization
and barbarism, as will be seen from
the following account of a marriage
ceremony which recently occurred In
Oklahoma: "The bride was handsome

pink silk ribbon sash, blue collar and
cuffs black hat with yellow and Law
,nder trimmings. a green veil and black
gloves. The bridegroom wore the con-
ventional black, except his coat, which,
It being a warm day, he had left at
home. He carried an immense eagle
wing"
