LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon Becomes Conscious of It's
 Restrictions.

What is it, at bottom, that makes the English atmosphere so difficult for an American to breathe in freely? It is, believe, that he feels himself in a country where the dignity of life is lower than in his own; a country where man born in ordinary cir cumstances expects, and is expected, to die in ordinary circumstances; where the scope of his efforts is traced be- forehand by the accident of position; where he is handicapped in all eases and crushed in most by the superin- cumbent weight of caste, convention, "good form" and the deadening artifi- cialities of an old society. comments a writer in the North American Review. That unconquerable buoyancy which fnfects the American air like a sting and challenge, and braces every Ameri- can with the inspiration that he has a chance in life; that there are open op- portunities. unreser Ved possibilities, no battering at locked doors, no tioun- dering in blank alleys; that here, ln short, it is the man himself who makes his career-is something which the English have so utterly lost as to be incapable of realizing 1t.

BIG PROFIT IN PENTHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Resort Receives Nearly $2, 2,OOO q Day
 for Rooms Alone.

If you doubt that the nickel and quar- ter business doesn't pay consider the money-making propensities of the aver age seashore bathhouse around New York, and make over your opinion. A representative bathing pavilion has 1,5O0 bath compartments. It costs 20 oe Hts to rent one. On a medium hot summers day some $500 are derived from renting these rooms. for the com- partments are used in the course of the day by about 4oOO persons. Bathing vuts rent for 25 cents each. There would be 5000 of them for such pavil- ion, which means $1.000 day if half of them are rented once; and it is fair to assume that three-fourths of the 4.00O bathers pay five cents for the use of a comb and brush-s150. A total of near ,y s2,O0O, to. say nothing Of the proceeds from restaurant, bar. barber shop and tpdoor baths.

BIC BEE RANCH IN FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City Harvests . Third of . Ton
 of Honey . Season.

There Is a bee ranch with moro than 1000 900 bees in the heart of one Of the densest residence districts of San Fran cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior. prin- cipal of . public school. and Is in the little back yard of his home. For ten years he has kept his bees there. has harvested about a third of ton of honey each season and has been ct no expense for food for his interesting and industrious pets. Although it ia dis tance of two and one-half miles from the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park, the bees make the trip there. collect loads of honey and get back to the hive in two minutes, making bullet-like flight at the surprising rate of 150 miles m hour MT. Prior has demonstrated this by having an observer watch cer- tain bee-favored places in the park and exactly timing the arrival there of bees he purposely sprinkled with flour as they issued from a hive. He has also kept time on the absence of the whitened bees.

ASPARAGUS HAS A LINEAGE
Romans Held Vegetable in High Es- teem Many Years Before
 Christ

Of all food plants there is none which sessed of so distinguished lineage as the asparagus. It's records reach back almost to the beginning of authentic his- tory. and it is mentioned by the comic poet Cratinus, who died about 425 B c. The Romans held the vegetable in high esteem. The elder Cato wrote a work which is still extant, "De re Rustica," and 1t treats at length of the virtues and proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny, in his natural history. written about 50 A. D., has much to say about it. He feelingly observes: "Of all the products of your garden your chief care should be asparagus" and he devotes several chapters to its many good qualities and the best methods of raising it He as- serts that the soil about Ravenna was so favorable to it's production that three heads grown in that district had been known to weigh a Roman pound. This pound seems to have been about equal to II ounces in our day. % 1t would ap- parently have taken four of the stalks to have reached q pound of our weight. The asparagus being essentially a southern plant, 1t is possible that tho stock growing in Italy was of . moro vigorous growth than that ofour north ern cline. It is found ali around the shores of the Mediterranean and branches of into four or five distinct species besides the one ordinarily used for edible purposes.

 wnen, as usual, the unexpected hap pened. Gussie Rhodes met and loved the obscure, poor young man. Mark Hanna. MT. Rhodes was astounded when the daring young grocer called upon him and asked for the hand of his daughter. He refused absolutely to grant the young suitor even time enough to beg He said mo" curtly and sharply. and when he saw his daughter he tried to scold her, but in. stead he took her in his honest arms and begged her not to think of 'this unknown man, Hanna" He said he never. never could consent to such . choice for his child.
 Gussie Rhodes told her father. with many . reassuring embrace. that she would never marry without his con- sent, and she added: "But, papa dear. I shall never marry any man but Mark Hanna"
 Then she promised her father not to see her lover or write to him for . year at least. She kept her promise. and in the course of few weeks, al- though she never audibly murmured, and was sweetly gentle and loving to all about her. she grew pale and wan. She neither ate no slept. The old fa- Eher was at his wits end. Some ono proposed a foreign tour for that change of scene which is supposed to work wonders in heart affections, and. presto at a few hours notice. father. mother and daughter were OF board an Atlantic liner.
 For nearly year the Change of scene" prescription was faithfully pur. sued and the patient. always cheerfully submissive. gentle and charming, ob- viously grew Trailer day by day. Al. most in despair the old man brought his child home again and one morn. ing he gathered the courage to ask her if she till cared for Mark Hanna.
 "Why, father" she replied. "I, shall -lways love Mark; told you that. you know. year ago."
 Poor old "Uncle Dan" Rhodes! That was a bitter day for him, but he was equal to the occasion: Sending for the obscure young man, he said to him:
 ''Mr, Hanna, Gussie loves you. that Is my only reason for accepting you as her future husband. You are poor. I'll fix it SO Gussie can live as she has been accustomed to and suppose must see you marry her"
 Now the coming young man cast ever 30 slight shadow of his future great ness on the opportunity of the@present.
 s'Mr. Rhodes " said he, "I most grate. fully accept the gift of your daughters love- To marry her is for this world to become paradise for me, but cannot make her my wife unless she will be content to live as my means will enable us. I can neither accept aid nor per. init my wife to accept 1t from any one"
 So Mark Hauna and Gussie Rhodes were married, aha the bride went from her fathers big house to live in tiny little cottage, where with one maid of all work, she was as happy as a queen for some years.

PREPARE FOR WINTER.

The recent cold snap was q gentle
reminder of what we must lo-k for in
many times greater degree within
| another few weeks. 1t was hint to
people that old Boreas was headed this
way and that due prepa1 alton must
be made for his coming.
1t is very likely that there will be a
few good days before this and Christ
mas and they should be utilized in
making ready for siege which winter
will soon declare against the city and
county. Stockmen, especially, should
take this golden opportunity to fix
their sheds, see to their feed and have
everything in readiness when the first
real touch of winter arrives.
So far as the Democrat is informed,
the stockmen and ranchers of Fergus
county are generally well provided
with feed for the winter In some por-
tions of the county the range is in ex-
cellent shape and that always helps
materially in getting stock through a
hard winter There are now very few
men who attempt to carry their stock
through the winter without suffici-
ency of hay, however, and the COM
paratively small losses of sheep and
cattle in the hard storms which sweep
over this portion of the state is due to
this precaution. Then, too, large
number of them have good sheds
which are capable of protecting thous-
ands of head of stock during the peri
cd of an ordinary storm. At least
900 head Of sheep have been sold
out of Fergus county this year and
that will reduce the quantity of hay
necessary. And, toe, the sheep and
cattle are, generally speaking, in ex-
cellent condition and this is materia,
factor in running them through
hard winter. The editor has not been
in Montana long enough to forecast
the various moods of the storm god

would really be a blessed thing if a
great deal of snow would fall, as the
country is dryer than it has been with
n the memory of the oldest inhabi-
ants. Springs, hitherto considered
are dry and hundreds Of lit
lie streams which usually contain
some water the year round are in the
same dusty condition. A heavy snow
n the mountains would not only fill
he streams to the great benefit Of the
lgriculturalsts and stockgrowers but
YOU'D be avorable factor in the min
ng business. Altogether a snowy
winter will not be objected to by the
people of Fergus county.

IMPROVE YOUR STOCK.

In a recent issue, the Breeders Gaz-
cite, stock paper published in Chi
cago, stated that not in 20 years have
we'll bred feeding cattle been so scarce
on the Chicago market. While there
is a plethora of nondescripts and plen-
ty of mediums, the first class stuff Is
not on the market and practically un-
obtainable.
In seeking for a reason for this fall
ing off of good cattle, the Gazette
states that the rapid rise in land in
the eastern and middle states has
made cattle raising practically pro-
hibitive, it being necessary to utilize
every acre of this precious ground in
the raising of profitable agricultural
crops.
1t would appear that right here is
offered a very increasingly profitable
field for the western stock growers
who have their enormous ranches COW
cred with great punches of the So
named ''nondescript" stock. One we'll
bred steer will bring twice as much
money on the eastern market as sew
eral of the above named variety. Once
started, they are not any harder to
raise than poor steer. Once raised,
they will be received gladly instead Of
grudgingly by the men on the market.
A Fergus county stock grower in the
western part of the county tried the
experiment of raising a superior breed
OF cattle and his results We're most
satisfactory. If we remember cor
rectly he sold his cattle on the Chica-
go market for something like $50 per
head IN year when, according to
common report, the market was "shot
all to pieces" and other Montana
stockmen could hardly dispose of their
cattle at any price.
This one instance shows what a
Montana cattleman can do and it
would certainly appear that a large
number of them could gradually clea,,
| out the poor stock and breed up to a
! higher standard. They have the land.
they are now raising more hay and
forage and they will soon find it lust
as easy to carry a bunch of good cat
tie through the winter as it is a bunch
of poor steers.

Party of Five Under Mr.. Baker Look

OLD RUMOR WILL NOT DOWN
kz'E5i~sS
All Indications Point to An Early
Start On the Coast Extension
Project By Milwaukee.

Despite the fact that high o$cial
in the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
r. r. company has recently given out
an interview in which he denied any
intention on the part of the company
of building to the coast, the impress
sion is growing ever stronger through
out the western states and especially
Montana and Washington, that an
other twelve months will see the actu-
al work of construction on the extern
sion of the road to the coast begun.
The Milwaukee has at this time, en-
ormous resources, quite sufficient, in
fact, to make the oft discussed extern
sion without having to float any more
bonds 1t has mapped out territory
which is the richest and most re-
soul ceful in t.. west. The road has,
within the last year, made extensive
purchases Of real estate in Seattle
and, it is believed, practically secured
control Of one Of the most important
feeders in the sound country.
The Democrat is positively assured
that Milwaukee surveyors have care
fully gone over the route up through
this portion of Montana and the fol-
lowing dispatch from Missoula indi-
Gates that the surveying party are
now engaged in looking for a way to
get across the main range Of the
