Used Philosophy In Fishing.

Herbert Spencer once won a curious
wager. He was staying for a fishing
holiday in the house of Sir Francis
Powell, the president of the Scottish
academy, and while angling for trout
he happened to drop his eye glasses
into a deep pool of the river In the
evening he related his misadyenture
to his~h host and the guests, and said
that he was prepared to bet that he
would recover the pince-nez from the
bottom of the pool. His friends de-
clared that this was an Impossible
feat, but Herbert Spencer still offered
to make the bet His challenge was
accepted by one of the visitors. Upon
the following morning Spencer re
turned to the house with the missing
eyeglasses. He had fastened a strong
magnet on the end of his fishing Tine
and fished for the glasses until II

Thibet's Huge Bible.

The Kah-gyur- or Thibetan Bible,
consists of 1OS volumes of 1000 pages
each, containing 1,OS3 separate books.
Each of the volumes weighs ten
pounds and forms a package 26 inches
long, inches broad and inches
deep. This Bible requires a dozen
yaks for its transport, and the carved
wooden blocks from which it is print
ed need rows OF houses. like a city,
for their storage. A tribe of Mongols
paid 1000 oxen for a copy of this
Bible. In addition to the Bible there
are 225 volumes of commentaries,
which are necessary for its under
standing. There is also large col
lection of revelations which supple

TOT Ine FTlVISSc.
The late Senator Hanna sat in a
special car, delayed at the railroad
station in Napoleon, Ohio. Some of
the townsfolk found out that he was
there, and they visited the station.
Among the callers were two little
girls about II years old. They climb

asked: BE you Mr.. HANNAH"

Hanna ordered the porter to bring

Sides And, suiting the action to the
word, he kissed both of the little girls
square on their mouths, and in pay
ment handed them each a quarter.
And it was worth it, he nodded.
Five minutes later little girls came
marching down the hill toward the
station in blocks of five and ten and
battalions.
Hanna was panic stricken.
1.-The two little girls have spread
the news of the kisses and the quar-
tiers through the town." said Col. Her

l.
The dials of earth may show
The length. not the depth. of years:
Few many they come-few or many
But our time is best measured by tears
All, not by the silver gray
That creeps through the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that we pass on
And not by the burrows the finger of
care
On the forehead and face have made,
Not so do We count our years:
Not by the sun OF the earth-but the
OF our souls, and the fall of our tears.
For the young are sometimes old
Though their brow be bright and fair;
While their blood beats warm, their heart
lies cold
Ger them the springtime-b winter is
there.
And the old are Outlines young.
When their hair is thin Ind white;
And they sing in age as in youth they
sung,
And they laugh. for their cross was
light
A thousand of joys may foam
On the pillows of all the years:
But never the foam brings the brave bark
home; -
1t reaches the haven through tears.

At half past nine that night, return

said, pointedly, ARE of the color of

Next instant he staggered back
with a broad red mark on his cheek,
bowed, and said:
1.-THE senior will give satisfaction,
when?"
"Nowi Any time!"
A friend of Silvera's called in half
an hour and was referred to Corporal
Francis Hardy, also a Virginiar. A
meeting was arranged for at sunrise
next morning, at. a spot five miles
from the city, on the beach. The af
fair was conducted, of course, with
the utmost secrecy. Dering and his
friend reached the spot just at day
light. Silvera and his second, Sebas-
tian Escobedo, arrived within ten
minutes. The men bowed with pune
tilliousness and stripped to their
| shirt-sleeves. The rapiers were meas
ured and the principals placed facing
each other. Escobedo called, En-
garde!" and the duel began.
Dering found at once that he was
| engaged with a swordsman OF the
| first class. The Spanisrd was as act
i've as cat, had wrist of Steel and

which meant murder. Confident of
his skill, Dering sent his steel against
Silvera's blade with a clash Then
the battle was on in earnest. Lunge.
| parry and riposte, feint, guard and

ing of the rapiers a dozen yards away
would have sounded like the rattle of
castanets. Neither man altered his po-
sition or gave back an inch. Escobedo
bowed to Hardy, smiled and said:
Plainly it is a battle a Foutrance'

Suddenly Dering stepped in a half
j foot, changed from carte to tierce
half-cut, disengaged and lunged with
the speed of light. Sflvera parted
but insuficiently. A feck of blood

ribs. Escobedo struck down the
swords swords.

TILES ROmney.

The Herald-J Journal desires to pay
more than passing tribute to Miles
Romney, the democratic candidate for
secretary of state. Mr.. Romney is a
newspaper man, having conducted
The Western News at Hamilton for the
past ten years or more, and has always
made notable paper of it. During the
culm ination of the Daily Clark fight
along in the end of the nineties, when
Mr.. Daily was starting papers all over
the state in vain effort to put out of
bu siness all those who had the temer-
ity to differ from his political plans,
the copper magnate established at
Ham ilton the Hamilton Democrat with
the avowed purpose of driving Mr..
Ronney out of business. But Mr..
Romney is slayer, and bitter fight
for supremacy was started. The re-
suit was that the more DAILY tried to
down Romney, the more that gentle
mans business grew, until today he
has one of the most prosperous print
ing Offices in the state, and is instinct
lively and by experience opposed to
corporation rule, and the Hamilton
Democrat has been dead for some
time.-Flathead Herald-Journal.

AS to DixOn's Little Bill.

The Western News is in receipt of a
communication from we'll known
resident of Darby, who, for obvious
reasons, does not care to have his name
made public. He is ready at any time,
however, to substantiate by irrefutable
proof every statement that he makes.
The communication follows:
editor Western News
II notice the Ravalli Republican, of
which Supervisor Sherman of the
Bitter Root forest reserve is editor,
tries to square his side of the famous
Dixon bill that validated title to land
in the IS townships in the Bitter Root
valley covered by the Clagett act.
He refers to S. ]. Lyman and
others. Now the Anaconda Copper
Mining Co. owns the Lyman land. It
bought it for $1,000 and it IS worth
$4,000 at least. Many people, simply
disposed of their rights for what they
could get, the company furnishing
money with which to prove up.
"The Republican says that Gus Cor
us won the primary fight at Darby IN
1900 for the anti-company side. The
truth is Dave Nicholson and G. W.
Solleder did that job.
"And as to Gorus putting that petit
tion in the field, the fact is that E.. E.
Hershey, the A. c. M. Co. attorney,
came to Darby with that petition and
got Gorus to circulate it.
"The A. c. M. fellows were cute
enough to incorporate in the petition
the preemptions taken under the act
of 1841 so as to get the settlers to sign
the petition. In this way they got a
petition and steered through congress
bill making the timber and stone
entries good. How about this; dare
you deny the truth Mr.. Sherman"
