Two OF the foremost citizens OF Montana,
both democrats, Ex-Governor Samuel T.
Houser and the present incumbent of the
gubernatoria Office, Hon. Joseph X. Toole,
were in washington together this week
"You see, 1 never was quite as exalted
an executive as my friend here" said Gov
ernor Houser to a Washington Post man.
"for was only governor by appointment
of Mr.. Cleveland in the days when Mon
tana was a territory, and / only held the
Office for about eighteen months. Office
holding was never my long suit. There was
a law, too, a federal statute which re-
uuired the governor of a territory to get
permission from Washington If he wished
to go outside the limits OF the territory
and this law, without intention on my part,
1 was continually violating I hadn't been
used to asking people whether 1 could
go anywhere, and it didn't occur to me
that needed leave often in coming east
my private secretary would think to re-
mind me about the time we reached Chi
cago that we'd left home without asking
the Washington authorities, and quite as
often neither Of us would think about it.
Finally, when / walked in on Hon l..
O. c. Lamar one day, that good and great
man in a good-natured way told me, in
his capacity as secretary of the interior,
that It was his duty TO notify me that ia
been away from my office about two thirds
of the time since my appointment. This
was true, and so I then and there ten
dered my resignation, but Mr.. Lamar
laughingly declined to accept 1t in such a
hasty manner and asked me to hold on a
little while longer till somebody csc could
be found 10 take the place"

Marked progress is noted in the work Of
constructing the new railroad terminal in
Washington The tunnel under Capitol
Hin is cut through, but will require another
year to finish. 1t Is over 5000 feet long.
Satisfactory progress in building the Union
station is also reported. The main walls
are well above ground. Though barely a
year has passed since the work began. II is
certain the huge undertaking will be fin
ished ahead OF the time limit Of three years,
and involve an outlay estimated at &c.

from the smaller cities and towns sur
rounding It, but Baltimore has a popula-
ton approximately double that of Wash
ington, and still it sends over to Washing
ton large contingent daily. This includes
department clerks, employees at the navy
yard gunshop, and a certain number Of
persons in the business life of the city.
IHa Department of Justice has an attor-
ney VIM has been making the journey
daily between Baltimore and this city for
twenty-five years. He has this year de-
cided to move his household effects to
Washington, to be a little nearer his desks,
Most Of these people also have to make a
journey on foot or by street car to the
railroad terminals in Baltimore, which are
naturally in the heart of the business
rather than of the residential district.
Tho explanation Of this movement, re-
versing the ordinary laws OF suburban
traffic, lies in the difference in standards
of cost Of the two cities. Baltimore is an
inexpensive place to live IN 1t is the
great commercial port Of the South Allan
tic, with steamers running everywhere, so
that articles coming by water are unloaded
AT low prices on the Baltimore wharfs.
MARYLAND is an important agricultural
state sending to its metropolis a good
supply of the products OF farm and gar
den. The standard of wages and salaries
remains relatively low. Rents, in spite Of
the larger population, are much lower than
here. Two-story buildings cover enormous
areas. whereas the house Of that size is
going out of use here. Investors get more
out of the land by building to a greater
height upon 1t.

A Baked Soul.

A boy who had been working in a
bakershop for some time was Just
about to finish his trade. One night
when the boss was gone he broke the
marble slab he nodded his loaves on.
So he went to the marble-yard to Sc.
cure another, but could not find one.
On his way back he passed a grave
yard and as 1t was very dark he
jumped over and pulled up small
headstone about the right size and
took 1t back and finished his job. The
next day. after the bread had been
delivered. nearly all of 1t was sent
back. The baker looked at 1t and
broke several loaves open. but found
nothing wrong. Then he happened
to turn one OF the loaves over and
found on the under side Of every loaf

1t was Sunday morning, and the bell
ringer had just finished the chimes

nology, and there are abstruse and
technical terms in 1t. like Kent treble
bob 'Stedman cinques, double court
bob lodges 'noils' and .stingoes.
Each of these terms defines a certain
phase or kind of bellringing. In Eng.
land there is society. the Central

panologist desires ardently to be long
