MANY BOUNTY CLAIMS.
Piling Up Rapidly with State Board
of Examiners.

Claims for bounty are accommodating
rapidly at the Office of the clerk OF
the state board of examiners, which
body must pass upon all before they
may be allowed. During the month OF
June claims aggregating $4,000 were
filed, almost double the total of the
filings for May, which amounted to
$751; OO.
Up to date there have been filed
claims in excess of Sis, 900, which
represents claims entered as long as
a year ago. Something over 500, 900
remains in the state bounty fund,
and it is expected that within a week

To the legal profession of Billings:

About two years ago Prof. Yost OF
Palo Alto, who was in an extreme con-

self a victim of Diabetes. The object
OF the visit was to meet a prominent
business man who had for months
been investigating an alleged cure for
Brights Disease and Diabetes, and
hear his verdict. He declared that
the cure had been discovered. Both
Prof. Yost and his physician at once
adopted the treatment. Within six
months both were so we'll along to-
wards recovery that they considered
themselves beyond danger and at this
date neither Bright's Disease nor
Diabetes hold any terrors for them,

Learning that my old law partner,
Judge r. r. Bigelow, for many years
Chief Justice of the State of Nevada,
had Bright's Disease and that though
he had had four or five of our best
physicians, yet that he had had to give
up practice and was in a serious con.
dition. / lost no time in telling him oil
the above. IL resulted in his complete
recovery and he is again back to
active practice. AS to the durability
Of chronic Bright's Disease and Dia,

than that I am living.

Last year about $15O,OOO was paid
by the state in bounties on predatory
animals. Because of the change in
the law by which scalp hunters are
paid less than formerly it vas believ-
ed that this years aggregate would
be considerably below that Of last,
but judging from the manner in
which claims have been sent in dur.

for this year promises to be larger
than last year.

II GIRL.

She is a s%uperlative girl;
She says 1t is simply absurd
That her tongue takes a terrible twirl
Selecting the littlest word.
She knows it is perfectly wrong
And thinks 1t Is splendid advice
That she shun words so horribly long
But they are 80 horribly nice.
However, since others object,
She feels there's but one thing to do;
That short words she will have to select
1t makes her atrociously blue.
She says. though. she's certainly sure
She'll use but the tiniest sort.
And that thus she her habit will cure.
And use words deliciously short.

A Growing Industry.

are the fortunate possessors Of or.
chards that promise an average yield
may consider themselves as particu.
larly favored this year, taking into
account the statistics given out by
the state board of horticulture. The
president of that body, E. N. Brande-
gee, says the apple crop of Montana
will be no o than about half that
Of ordinary seasons. With the excep-
ton of Michigan, he Furthermore de-
clares, the crop of the states upon
| which MOntanans are dependent for
their portion of the fruit will also fall
much short. Light crops are reported
from Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia.
Last year Montana's yield of ap-
pies was large and the states product
went largely to supply the demand.
This seasons yield is expected to
be only about 60 per cent. In conse-
quence of the decreased supply prices
will be higher, so that fruit growers
will probably make fully as much as
last year, if not more. There was
an overabundance of the fruit last
year, resulting in poorer quality and
low prices. With the decreased sup
ply the demand will be brisk and the
home crop will probably be disposed
of early.
Many Trees Planted.
For several months past the state
board of horticulture and fruit in
spectOrs have been very busy. Over
100000 new trees were inspected this
year, which means even a greater
number planted, as it is estimated that
between 100000 and 10000 were
planted.
"The number of fruit trees inspected
this year was double that Of eve
before" said Mr.. Brandegee in a re-
cent interview, "and this e much
for Montana. The trees were for plant
ing in all parts of the state. Many
trees were set out in F1atheead and
| Missoula counties, as we'll as in others
of the apple belt. l expect to see
the time when 100000 fruit trees
will be inspected yearly by the board.
Fruit growing is rapidly becoming a
popular industry, as shown by the
number of trees inspected by us this
year. In addition to the trees, we
inspected 10000 grape vines.
Cold Storage Needed.
"Montana's fruit exhibit at st. Louis
has demonstrated one thing to us in
this state, and that is the great and
inestimable value of cold storage
There should be cold storage plants
in Missoula, Helena and Butte. From
what 1 learn there is now a movement
on foot for the erection of a plant al
the former place. The apples shipped
from Montana for exhibition purposes
at the fair were put in cold storage
and kept there until shipped to st
Louis. When unpacked there they
were found to be in excellent condi
ton. They yer the same as whe1
they were first packed. Now, if Their.
were cold storage plants in these
places, the apples and fruit woult

see what cold storage will do"
Mr.. Brandegee also stated that tn,
plum and c%rabapple crop would ais
be short this season.

DAME JULIANA BERNER.
she Was a Fifteenth Century Author
fty on Fly Fishing.

she Was a Fifteenth Century Author
fty on Fly Fishing.
The first printed English book on
angling was Dame Juliana Berner's
'Book of st. Albans," which appeared
about 1850, and contained chapter
entitled "a Treatyse on Fyshynnge
With an Angle"
Fly fishing must have been practiced
much earlier than this, as nothing but
q gradual evolution could account for
the complete list Of flies for the fish
ing months of the year which it gives.
To Dame Berner belongs the honor
of first telling that the salmon could
be caught with the fly. She says: "Al-
so ye may take hym, but it is seldom
seen with dubbe at such times as
when he lepith in lyke fourme and
manere as ye do a trought or gray
ling" Her knowledge seems more
complete than could have been that
of the original inventor, so that the
time when fly fishing originated in
British waters must remain uncertain.
Dame Berner's flies will kill trout
today, and her twelve were the foun-
dation of those of which Izaak Wal
ton said quantity In 1868: ''Thus have
you jury of flies, likely to betray
and condemn all the trouts in the
river"

THE WATWA OF AFRICA.
A Curious Tribe, Low Down In the
Scale of Humanity.


A hunter of big game in Africa gives
a description of a tribe of natives
whom he found there. the Watwa.
"These natives" he says, ''live in the
swamps, their staple article of diet be
ing fish and flour made from the seed
of the water lily, although during the
rains they grow patches Of cassava
root and sweet potatoes at the edge
of the swamp. They smear their
bodies with mud to protect them from
mosquitoes and are extremely dirty
and evil smelling in consequence. They
are very low down in the scale of hu-
manity and have bad reputation
among tribes living on the high ground,
which reputation they upheld during
our visit. We engaged several Watwa
natives as carriers, but they only came
to see what they could steal. One day
1 shot a reed buck in sight of the
camp and left two Watwa to carry 1t
in while 1 went after a hartbeest, but
1 never saw either men or buck again.
1t was no use following them into the
swamps, as they knew every inch
of the ground and water. They had
small canoes hidden everywhere, and
Immediately they crossed a stream
they sunk the canoe again where they
alone knew where to find 1t. Our boys
were afraid to follow them, as they
used poisoned arrows and sometimes
set poisoned stakes in the tracks lead
ing to their haunts''

TOBACCO SALARIES.
A Custom of the American CoIonie
Before the Revolution.

Custom of the American Colonies
Before the Revolution.
Before the Revolution, ministers of
the Anglican church in those American
colonies Svhere that church was estab-
lished by law were remunerated Gin
kind' instead of in money Maryland
gave an incumbent forty pounds of to-
bacco a year for every 1.-THE payer in
the parish, whether churchman or dis
senter, white or colored. These terms
were handsome enough to secure the
pick Of the clerical market In Vir-
ginia the stipends represented a fixed
and unvarying quantity, by weight, Of
the manufactured leaf. These stipends
were rather beggarly in quantity. In
a bad year even the ''sweet scented
parishes" where the minister's salary
was calculated on a high priced and
exceptionally fragrant tobacco, yielded
only about $500 year. The parishion-
ers sometimes refused to induct a cler-
gyman unless he would consent to take
one salary for serving two parishes. In
175S, when the price of tobacco had
greatly risen, the house of burgesses
passed law fixing the cash equivalent
of debts payable in tobacco at one
third their true value, thus wiping out
two-thirds of the incomes of ministers.
Patrick Henry made his first fame in
defending this law when a test case
was brought in behalf of the injured
clergymen.

most inquisitive and at times are in
such hurry to follow up a clew that
they will scramble along the ice on
the belly pushing with their legs and
using their fiiSpers alternately like the
paddle of canoe. They get over the

hard work to overtake a penguin when

enormous numbers and are sometimes

TRAGIC IN ITS BREVlTY.
The story of the Duel Between Ham
ilton and Burr.

ilton and Burr.
The story of the Hamilton Burr duel
is tragic in it's brevity. The little party
of five-the principals, their seconds
and the surgeon-was on the ground
not long after sunrise. The prelimi
naries were soon arranged AS Pen
dleton, Hamilton's second gave him
his pistol, he asked, Twill you have
the hairspring set?'
Not this time" was the significant
reply, and then the men faced each
other.
According to the best authorities up
on disputed subject, Burr fired at the
word. AT the report, Hamilton started
forward with a convulsive movement
reeled, involuntarily discharging his
pistol into the foliage above him, and
fell headlong. Burr, with an expires.
sion Of pain upon his face, sprang to-
ward him, but Van Ness, his second
seized him by the arm and hurried him
down the bank and into their boat.
Hamilton, being lifted up, revived
for moment and gasped, "This is a
mortal wound, doctorp' Relapsing
again into unconsciousness he was
again revived by the fresh air of the
river. "Pendleton knows" he said
trying to turn toward his friends, ''that
did not intend to fire at him."
At the afternoon following he
had breathed his last.

A Dead Moose.

When a bull moose lies dead in the
forest he looks like some strange ante
diluvian animal, with his square pre-
hensile muffie and horns spreading lat
orally, a popularity which he shares
with the prehistoric Irish elk and the
nearly extinct European elk Of later
times. The huge form tells of strength
and swiftness, and withal the still dan
gerous CLEAN Of the eye, glazed in its
last stare, bids the hunter pause and
feel almost guilty of a crime in the de-
struction of so much that is grand and
weird, feeling very different from the
sentiment supposed to attend the
slaughter of a deer. But the triumph
of mastering the wariest and bravest
animal in the woods by fair still hunt
ing and by grimly sticking to the track
for many weary mile amply atones
for any regrets.-Century
