VICTORIOUS SECOND TIME.
Billings Basket Ball Team Defeats
Bozeman Once More.


Despite the lareness of the hour a..
which the train arrived Saturday
night, large number of the friends
OF the members of the basket ball
team were at the 'statiun to welcome
them home and congratulate them on
their second victory over team
hitherto considered invincible. All
though the local players were greatly
handicapped because OF the greater
size of the Bozeman field and from
the further fact that the floor there
was waxed, they managed to win the
game in an easy manner.
The game was called Friday even
ing at a few minutes before 8 O'Clock
and was played in Commute halves
Mr. Barnes OF this city was referee,
with Lyman Bennett of Bozeman um-
pire. Herbert Foster and ROBBIE
Holmes were linemen for the visitors,
while Messrs. Quaw and Flagler per-
formed the same duty for Bozeman.
At the conclusion of the game the
score stood 8-5, in favor of Billings.
Everp possible attention was shown
the visitors and they are loud in their
praise of the courtesies and kind
nesses received from the players and
people generally of Bozeman. Their
first taste of Bozeman hospitality was
had almost Immediately after their
arrival, when they were taken to
the agricultural college, where they
were rendered an elaborate luncheon
by the domestic science department,
an honor In which both teams were
participants. The hall had been elab-
orately decorated and as mementoes
of the affair each of the guests car
ried away beautifully hand painted
place card After the game they
were the guests of honor at a compli-
mentary ball. Saturday the visitors
were escorted through the different
departments of the college, while the
remainder of the day was devoted to
sight seeing, with their entertainers
as guides.

the treasury offers as II substitute for

As the law stands, the man who can

in the case of Il tanner who buys Ar

simple matter With the shoemaker who
NAY use i'll each pair OF shoes he eX-
ports Il little OF the leather made out
of those hides. The process of "identi-
fication' of that leather is not am easy
one.
Why not repeal the duty on hides al
together, and thus cheaper leather for
Americans as well as foreigners! The
only benettciaries of the duty are the

it would help them. They sowed and
others reaped.
The drawback provisions of the tariff
act nay we'll be liberalized, but that
will not be tariff revision. That will.
not be aiding the That
will not be striking at the trusts and
pools which will sell cheap abroad and
high at home While the tariff is UNI

off the duty will be taken off the price

The suggestion of drawback revision
is merely throwing n tub to the whale.
1t is an effort to get the popular mind
away from the tariff revision. 1t will
not work. The nSume are thinking
of their own g%rievous burdens due to
certain monstrous features of the tariff
rather than of the restrictions it i'm
poses III some men who use imported
materials in making goods for export.
Those men would be pleased to see
tariff revision confined to them. The
manufacturers who use alcohol are anX-
lou to nave the lax taken off it when
employed for their purpose. They
would be content to have tariff revision
stop there. What is demanded, and
must be had. is revision for the benefit
of the whole people and not Il few
manufacturers.

pRuocERY OF LITERATURE.

formed by Great Writcrs.

icarly twenty years to tho collecting or
materials for his "History of Civilization"

Bancroft devoted nearly thirty years TO
his History OF the United States. which
is not a history of the country at all. since
it ends where the history nf-the country
properly begins. Had the work been con-
tinued on the same scale down 10 IN"
present he must have written sevcnty-hvs
or eighty volumes.
Scott is said to have written "Wavcrly
in less than six weeks. He wrote very
rapidly, seldom revised. and as a conse-
quencc his novels were full of plumbers.
errors and anachronisms.
Burns committed his poems to memory
before he wrote them. and when he sat
down to write he had before him no labor
of composition. but only the task OF writ
ing down what he had already finished.
Gibhon devoted over twenty years of his
l,fe to the labor of reading for and writ
ing the "Dcclinc and Fall" 1t is one or
the most stupcndous literary feats accom-
plished by one man.
Thomas Moore often wrote n short poem
almost impromptu. He consumed over two
years in reading and preparing material
for "Lalla Rookh" and two years more in
writing that inimitablc poem.
George Elliot is said to have written
"Middlemarch" in four months. Some
doubt is thrown upon this statement by
the fact that she commonly worked slow
IL. writing with great care and delihcra-
tion, and making few crasurcS after tho
work was done.
Dickens says in the Introduction to
David Copperfcld" that he spent two
years in the composition of that novel.
He did not usually require so long n time
many of his novels being finished in II
wear and most of the shorter stories III u
few days.
Though it is said that, Congrcvc could
prepare a drama for the sage in a few
days, -four or five times This period was
given to the work of revision and recon-
struction after the play had been given
to the actors.
Nearly five years of lrvington's time

though the fighting lasted for six or
seven hours, no ship on either side
was actually sunk, although several
were badly damaged. This showing
is in marked contrast to the fights of
Santiago and Manila bays.
The fact that more damage was not
done must be due primarily to Togo's
caution. If he had closed in he prob
ably could have sunk several of the
Muscovite vessels. He would undouht-
edly have chosen this course if the
feet before him comprised all the YES
sells of the enemy But there are the
Black Sea squadron the Baltic squad

ed cruisers yet to be reckoned with.

reduced TO allow of their being mas
