Utili.ing odd Moments.

German house mothers accomplish a
great deal Of needlework and knitting
in addition to doing their homework,
and it is simply because they occupy
odd moments in this way. This does
not mean that they are always at
work. It only means that they work
steadily during working hours, obtain
ing relaxation by changing the work.
They do not sit down, as so many
housewives do, with idle hands, to
wait for the fire to come up or for the
kettle to boil. At such times they al.
ways have sewing or knitting on hand.
Thus by occupying these otherwise
worthless moments they manage to
accomplish much more work than 9th
er housekeepers do in the special hours
set apart for their sewing.-New York
Tribune.

addition to the reorganization of the
carrier force and the extension of the
service, the expenses have been large

missal of useless employees of the
Machen regime, and the closer scru>

that gentleman to the detriment of
the service and the eating up of the
appropriations for the department.

A FEW FROM MONTANA.
Small Shipment Of Bitter Root Cattle
Sold at Chicago.

Last Thursday witnessed the sale
of a small bunch of Montana cattle
on the Chicago market. The lot was
from the Bitter Root stock farm, and
Al Of them averaged 1920 pounds.
They sold for SAFE.
Notwithstanding the claims of the
die cattle and to be able to take care
OF practically all received, it is evil
dent, judging from recent reports,
that should the regular shipments
from the west be started there would
be a congestion and much trouble
would follow. On the day the Mon
tana animals were sold 5000 head
were received and proved to be all
that the demand could use. Eastern
orders are anything but brisk and the
bids from all sources of outlet on
that day were lower than during the
day before, and the general market
could not be given a movement, ex-
cept at a decline amounting to- all of
the advance noted for the preceding
day.
In the sheep market conditions were
no better. Too much stock arrived
for the limited demand and prices OF
all kinds receded. Western sheer
were mostly 10 to 20 cents lower
and in some cases as much as 25
cents. Montana export wethers were
taken at $4.40, a steady price, but on
the bulk of wethers it was a 1915 to
81 deal, with the bulk of western ewes
at $3.50 to $3.50.

feudalism.

When a citizen is to be found with
such a high regard for the law and
it's proper enforcement as to consider
it his duty to retain at his own cost
a lawyer to act in the capacity CT
public prosecutor and to cause lsSu-
ance of a warrant for the arrest OF
a man believed to be guilty of an
offense, and that, too, in a case IN
which he has no personal interest,
who love to talk about the de-.
cadence of public morality because
of the Indifference of the individual
will soon find themselves in the posi-
ton of slanderers of the people.
Whether the man who is now await
ing trial be proved guilty or innocent,
Senator Gruwell did the city and state
a service when he caused his arrest.
He showed himself possessed of the
right spirit, and were more men of
his standing to do as he did there
would be less lawlessness and the
community would soon be free OF an
element that should nave no room
in it.

A SILLY CHARGE.

#B@sI@EHa ~
To charge the packing house lords
with being responsible for the strike
that has upset the meat market and
caused a ribs and chuck steaks
ia become luxuries to de only dream
ed of, is we'll enough, for there is rea-
son to believe that they plotted to
bring it about, but to go to the extent
of accusing the western ranchers with
being parties to the conspiracy Is
heaping it on a little TOO thick. Yet
some of the people of the east are do
ing this very thing. From Philadel-
phia comes the news that after care
full investigation the local wholesale
meat dealers hav undisputahle testi-
mony that a perfect understanding
exists between the packers, the COM
mission houses, the ranchers and the
feeders and that the whole thing is
merely a plot to raise the price OF
meats. AS proof of the guilt OF the
ranchers they cite the fact that no
range cattle are being delivered at
Chicago.
Manipulation OF the meat market
by the trust is admitted. No one has
had stronger or more painful evidence
of this than the western rancher
who must sell his cattle to the trust,
but to accuse him of being a party
to a conspiracy shows unfamiliarity
with the conditions as they exist on
the range. Unlike the farmer of the
east. who has only a few head of stock
and ample feed to carry them through
for an indefinite length of time, he
is forced to sell at certain periods,
whether he may wish to do so or not.
When the suns of July and cessation
OF rains have cured the grass on
the range and the shortening days
of August arrive his cattle are in
their prime and he must dispose OF
them, for it is then only that they are
in condition to be converted into
beef. Generous as nature may have
been with him for a few months pre-
ceding. she now becomes a stern,
niggardly mistress and he may de-
pend upon her no longer. If he is
in a position where he can benefit
himself because of her generosity good
profits come to him, but if he cannot
embrace the opportunity. loss and
ruin stare him in the face. The cat.
tie fat in flesh begin to shrink be.

BUBONIC PLAGUE IN CHILL.
Consul WinanS Charged with Giving
Improper Bills of Health.

Lima, Peru, Nov. 30.-It is reported
here that Senior Martinez, the Chilean
minister to the United States, will re-
quest the State department at Wash
ington to cancel the authorization o.
Charles s. Winans, American consul at
Iquique, to take charge ad interim Of
the Peruvian consul at that place. The
request, it is said, will be founded on a
charge that Mr. Winans. has given i'm
proper bills of health to steamers leay-
ing Iquique.
While the prevalence of bubonic
plague has not been officially declared
in Chile, it is said that there are cases
that the Chilean government daily con-
ceals in order that steamers may not
omit touching at ports at which there
are no sanitary regulations. This al
legged action is considered a great peril
to the Peruvian coast, Panama and the
entire country bordering on the South
Pacific ocean.
