Irrigation from Ice,

In Montana the experiment has been
tried Of freezing water to be used for
irrigation. AS soon as the weather be-
comes such as to melt the ice it is fit
for the operations requiring the water.
The plan, which so far is in the ma
ture of an experiment, consists in max
ing series Of shallow basins on the
slope of a hill in such locations that,
when water is plentiful, they may be
filled, each of those below the highest
receiving successfully the overflow
from the one above 1t.
Once frozen, the ice in these shallow
reservoirs is there until the thaw sets
in, when it melts so slowly as to keep
up a supply Of moisture sufficient for
the termination and growth of the
early crops. This unique method has
been tried so far only in the vicinity of
Dillon, but 1t appears to be successful
and is to be given a trial in several
other favorable localities.

Cy's Choice.

Cyrus Pettingill made brooms for a
living and Ezra Hoskins kept a store
in the New Hampshire town where
both Of them lived. One day, says the
Columbia Record, Cy came in with a
load of brooms, and then dickering be-
gan.
Ezra, want to sell you these
brooms."
"All right, Cy, I'll take them"
Il don't want any store pay" con-
tinued Cy. II want cash for them"
After thoughtful pause Ezra said,
II tell you what I'll do, Cy. I'll give
you half cash and half trade"
Cy pulled a straw out Of one of the
brooms and looked at it, as If for
inspiration.
II guess thatll be all right" he said,
at last.
After Ezra had put the brooms in
their place in the store, he said:
Heres your money. Cy. Now,
what do you want in trader"
Cy's shrewd glance swept over the
miscellaneous stock of the store.
"Well, Ezra" said he, "if it's all the
same to you, I'll take brooms."

SURPRISE FOR BIG oRIzzLX.

Took a Photograph of Himself While
Examining a Camera.
Bert Gibbs is the amateur photog-
rapher bear hunter of all Round valley.
But he doesn't hunt that class Of sub
jects since a big Mendocino grizzly
took his camera away from him. He
had shot everything in his neighbor.
hood, and to his priced collection Of
snaps of living birds, squirrels and
deer he longed to add the photograph
Of live bear-one with a fierce, whis-
kered phiz. with tongue lolling out and
eyes cleaning in all the savage fire Of
lowest brutedom.
He was brave, was Bert, and filled
with the enthusiasm of the true 'fiend"
took his solitary way into the far
woods armed with his loaded picture
box. While cautiously beating up q
huckleberry patch, trying to flush his
bear, he fell over a bank and badly
sprained an ankle. After lying all
night disabled where he had fallen he
concluded that he was doomed to re-
main there till he starved to death. He
photographed in his mind his emaciat-
ed body found days hence, and the
sad idea came to him to take a last
shot" at himself. He had heard that
people in the last ditch always reserv.
ed last shots for their personal uses.
He would do this, and the faithful
camera would give up farewell view
of him taken while dying.
Then he fastened a string to the
shutter of the machine, placed it on a
log and was beginning to look nat
uraI' before it when huge grizzly
| numbered out of the brush lanche.
Gibbs heaved himself in one mighty
| spring. His ankle was disabled, but
he found no difficulty in getting up q
nearby tree. The bear paid no atten-
ton to him, but, squatting on his
launches, proceeded to instruct him
self in camera craft. He picked it up
with his forepaws and was making a
minute examination with eyes and
nose when the shutter snapped. The
sharp sound frightened him, and, drop
ping the box, he galloped off into the
woods.
| Gibbs came down from the tree
cured of the sprain, picked up his cam
era and went ZONE. Then he devel-
oped the photograph which the grizzly
had taken of itself with the last shot
he had reserved for himself.-San
Francisco Call.

FAvORITES


Tuba1 Cain.
Old Tubal Cain was a man Of might
In the days when Earth was young;
By the fierce red light Of his furnace
bright
The strokes Of his hammer rung;
And he lifted high his brawny hand
On the iron glowing clear,
Till the sparks rushed out in scarlet
showers,
As he fashioned the sword and spear,
And he sang: "Hurrah for my handi-
work!
Hurrah for the spear and the sword!
Hurrah for the hand that shall WELD
them well!
For he shall be king and lord"
To Tubal Cain came many a ono,
As he wrought by his roaring Ere,
Add each one prayed for q strong steel
blade
As the crown of his desire;
And he made them weapons sharp and
strong,
Till they shouted loud for glee,
And gave him gifts Of pearl and gold,
And spodls of the forest free.
And they sang: "Hurrah for Tubal Cain,
Who hath given us strength anew!
aSrrah for the smith, hurrah for the
fire,
And hurrah for the metal truer'
hot a sudden change came Ger his heart
Ere the setting of the sun,
And Tubal Cain was filled with pain
For the evil he had done;
He saw that men, with rage and hate,
Made. war upon their kind;
That the land was red with the blood
they shed,
In their lust for carnage blind.
And he said: Alas! that ever l made,
Or that skill Of mine should plan,
NAe spear and the sword for men whose
joy
Is to slay their fellow man,
And for many a day old Tubal Cain
Sat brooding DER his woe;
And his hand forbore to smite the ore,
And his furnace smoldered low.
But he rose at last with cheerful face,
And bright, courageous eye,
And barred his strong right arm for work,
While the quick flames mounted high.
/nd he sang: "Hurrah for my handi-
work.
And the red sparks lit the air:
~Not alone for the blade was the bright
steel made
| And he fashioned the first plowshare.
And men, taught wisdom from the past,
| In friendship joined their hands.
Hung the sword in the hall, the spear on
the WALL
And plowed the willing lands.
And sang: "Hurrah for Tubal Cain!
| Our stanch good friend is he;
And for the plowshare and the plow
To him our praise shall be.
But while oppression lifts it's head,
Or tyrant would be lord,
Though we may thank him for the pillow
Well not forget the sword"

Queer Combinations Picked Out by
Some of the Eaters.
The manager Of the quick lunch
palace shuddered, although the day
was hot, and bestowed a gaze Of min
gled wonder and reproach upon the
broad back of the man who had just
picked up number of dishes of food
from the counter and was weaving
his way through the crowd with them
skillfully balanced in two hands like
vaudeville juggler picking his way
across a stage filed with tossed-up
paraphernalia, according to the Wash
irgton Star.
Say" hoarsely inquired the mana
ger, die see what that man took
with him to eat?"
The man to whom the question was
addressed had not noticed.
"a bowl of milk, dish Of sliced Gu
cumbers, two deviled crabs and a
piece Of rhubarb pie" groaned the
manager, feeling tentatively of the
fourth button of his waistcoat.
Just try and figure that out" he
went on. How would you like to try
a combination like that-milk, cucum-
bers, crabs and pie? When that mau

6rst bad hot spell of the summer-and

"'Bet? said I.
HE looked me over without q
blink.
"'HeyT said he.
'"You bet the man, suppose said
I, that you could beat him over the
links by two and three to play and
you didn't make good?'
He rested his crabs and cucumbers
and his bowl Of milk and his pie on
the counter and looked me over.

combination Of his looked.
