LIFE OF SINGLE CUSSEDNESS
Says Miller Of Helena, Without Pay

Sets Forth the Riot Aroused.

Now, when the end of the session
was near, and the men who had been
chosen by the people to Sit in the
great white temple for 60 days and
make the laws that should govern
the people for the next two years hau
agreed one with the other that it was
time that something was doing, there
arose mighty commotion among the
brethren and sisters who doth in
habit the capital city.
And there swept through the mar
ket place and through the city and
to the uttermost parts thereof a
noise as of a rushing mighty wind,
the which did cause much wonder
ment among those who were unable
to divine the cause thereof
But when the even was come the
chief men of the city did congregate
with one accord that they might
come upon the cause of this strange
thing that had happened unto their
city to the end that no harm might
come to those who dwelt within the
city's gates.
And when they had set them down,
silence reigned for the space of half
an hour, and the chief men might
calm themselves before they came
into the consideration of this most
wondrous thing.
When the hour for speech had
come, one whose beard was white
with the SHOWS of many winters
arose and spoke unto him who sat
within the center of the circle.

unto this place this even that we
may, by our combined wisdom, delve
into the mystery that hath come up
On us this day, the reason for which
no man seemeth to know. For, know
thou that there arose a noise as of
a rushing of mighty wind for the
space of half day, and it even yet
is not stilled. The faithful run hith.

Public Pays the Freight.

Strolling through commission row
any observing person may see framed
on the wall of one of the Offices an
expense bill for $3.50, says the Mime
apolis Journal. Several remarkable
things about this voucher caused the
owner to post it conspicuously, as
something worthier such place than
confinement in a regular file.
The $50 represents freight charges
On car of dried fruit shipped in
bags from the state of Washington.
The weight of the shipment was 65,-
900 pounds, and the rate $1.20 in
bags.
In the first place. this freight bill
paid the original cost of the car from
the builder twice over. Cars of this
series cost about $415, so that with
one trip from the coast the car paid
for itself and earned a good surplus
besides. Allowing time out for Occa-
sional delays along the line, or at
terminals, what the car would pro-
duce for the railroad during its life
time, even at a lower rate of freight,
is so great that the figures are won
derful.
Another noteworthy fact is that
the road did not divide freight with
connecting lines. The car came all
the way on the Great Northern. An
other firm in the city received 10 car
loads of similar, or fifth class freight,
from a point in Indiana, short
haul, at $62. BY comparison, one
car was hauled 1000 miles at $3.50,
while the other was hauled 700 miles
at $62.

tation thereof. Thy brother. even he
who speakest to thee, doth confess
himself unable to say yea or nay, and
doth beseecn thee that if thou know
est anyone among us who hath any
knowledge of this wonderous thing,

Then arose another of the breth-
zen, a tall and comely youth and al
together fair to look upon, and did
speak with much vehemence.

who have been among my people
while the day was not yet gone. hath
read the signs and will tell unto thee
and my brethren the Interpretation.
Know, then, that this day wofui
things hath been done unto many of
my brethren and sisters, and it hath
been done even by the rulers whom
we chose to make the laws for us so
recently that it seems but yester
morn and the sound as of a mighty
rushing wind was but the anger f
the people who have heard of what
hath been done. Even now they doth
threaten to rise and cast the laWmak-
ers into the gaol, whence it will take
many samoleons to wrest them,
while the makers of the law
were sitting at council, O, Prince,
Charles, surnamed the Miller, who
standeth high in the temple, did
speak unto his brethren with much
passion in his voice and did declare
nto them:
'Countrymen, | fain would have
5alm speech with thee on that which
meaneth much to me and to thee and
to all the people of the land wherein
We dwell. Dost not know that while
we sat within these walls doing those
things which we, or at least some of
us, hath been hidden, we have with
one accord neglected that which
seemeth to me to be of much mo-
ment to the people of this fair land
There hath been said much about
those things which concern the peO-
pie, but nothing hath your fellow ser
want heard on the matter that lieth
near unto his heart.
Brethren, l propose that We do
place upon the books of the statutes
a law which shall say unto the bach
elor man and the bachelor maiden:
Thus far thou hast gone alone in the
journey of life, but no farther shalt
thou go unless thou payest unto the
tax gatherer forty pieces of silver
for the which thou mayest keep thy,
self unto thyself, if SO be thou lowest
thine own company better than that
of another. Brethren, thinkest thou
not that man or woman who would
keep himself or herself unto himself
or herself, while others sit in silence
and weep for the home comforts as
those who will not be comforted
should be allowed to do this thing un
less he payeth that which seemeth
lawful?
And when Charles, surnamed the
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1903-02-24

Miller, had spoken there arose a
mighty shout as the lawmakers
sprang at him to take him by the
hand and cry aloud Ooompah
hoomph. which, being interpreted
meaneth Thou art indeed the hot
stuff. And Immediately they did do
even as Charles, surnamed the Mil
Ter, had said.
Now, o Prince, when this did be
come known among the people it did
incense them much, as we'll as pro
woke them to wrath, and they did
swear by the beard of the prophet
that the head of Charles, surnamed
the Miller, should pay the penalty
and be brought to them on charger
And canst thou find it in thy
hearts, my brethren, to say that they
do wrong him? Brethren, /, even
who speakest among you, am not of
those who stand in the market place
and boast that have at home a wife
and must needs remain with her, as
doth all good husbands. Neither am
likely to be in such predicament
soon. o Prince. And yet the law
makers hath said that ! shall pay
unto the 1.-THE taker the 40 pieces of
silver, which | declare unto thee

wherein | doth make my home
Then arose there another, arrayed
in the garb of woman, who did
speak with tears in her eyes and did
wiring her hands for very grief. And
she did cry aloud unto the prince

tax gatherer that which she needs

Whereat the chief men of the city
did arise in hurry and did cry aloud
in their wrath, nay, We will not see
this wrong committed. Rather would
we see Charles, surnamed the Miller
with a milestone hanged about his
neck and cast into the sea.
And with shout they did seek out
him whom they did denCunce, and
did set upon him with sticks and
slaves, having done the which they
