1t is pretty safe to assert that hui
man conduct is controlled more by
unwritten laws and ancient custom
than by the statutes, OF the existence
of which many are made aware for
the first time when, having unwilling
ly transgressed them, they are called
upon to suffer the consequence pun
ishment
How otherwise is to be explained
the conscientious keeping up OF quaint
observances which are required
neither by written law nor apparent
reason?
These customs are, as rule, as
sOciated with red letter days OF the
ecclesiastical calendar, and Good Fri
day has it's share of this oldfashion-
ed devotion. With some women in
the English midlands there is po-
tent belief that on the great, fast-day
of the year it is wholly impious to
do the family washing or scrubbing.
though to bake or sew is perfectly
permissible employment. And though
to enter upon an understanding on
ordinary Friday is, as rule, looked
upon as step of ill-omen, yet the
beginning of the years work in the
garden is with many among the
working classes religiously reserved
for Good Friday, and in propitious
spring weather it is very agreeable
sight to see the men at their health
full spade work"-to borrow phrase
from current POLITICAL rhetoric-in
| their limited urban garden plots or
more open suburban allotments. The
day could hardly be better spent bS
men confined to factories or ware
houses in their quest of livelihood,
and, as it is the first week day in the
year that they get free from their
ordinary avocations, its conservation
to garden work is in some measure
explained. But it is just possible that
the custom is a survival of the belief
that prevailed in old monastic times
when Calvary clover, the blOod-spCt-
| ted little plant with seed pot case
which, when pulled out, resembles a
miniature crown of thorns, was sup
posed not to grow unless sOwn on
Good Friday. Or is it due to a be-
lief that the beneficent influence of
the holy day extends no less to ma
terial than to spiritual matters, as is
confessed in some parts of the cour-
try, where the good folk say that
cross buns made on that day never
become mouldy, and that Good Fri.
day baked loaf hung in the kitchen
averts ill-luck, and crumbs grated
from it as required are an excellent
remedy for numerous ailments?
Cornish custom indissolubly con.
meets the gathering of limpets, cookies
and wrinkles with Good Friday. and
the practice of flocking to the water
to gather the shellfish on that day
once general throughout the country,
is still observed in some OF its out.
lof-the-way corners. But the origin of
this quaint custom is far to seek, as
is that of playing marbles, with which
innocent pastime both boys and men
in certain Sussex villages feel in duty
bound to acknowledge the advent OF
Good Friday, while at the seaboard OF
the same county-at Brighton. be il

HONEST CONFESSION.
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set of men on

FIRST WOOL SHIPMENT.
Unusually Early Consignment Taken
From the Backs Of Scabby Sheep.

Unusually Early Consignment Taken
From the Backs Of Scabby Sheep.
Two car loads of wool shipped from
Billings day or two ago hold the
record of being the earliest shipment
of the seasons clip ever made in Mon
tana. They were bought by George
R. Colby, buyer for Hallowell, Dono-
van G. Co. of Boston, from Fraser
Brothers of Billings for % cents o
pound.
AS a general thing shipping begins
in this state the first OF June, while
clipping ordinarily begins in May. The
explanation of the shipping few days
ago lies in the fact that the wool was
from scabby sheep. The owners were
anxious to dip the animals, and in or
der to do so it was necessary to clip
There is always rivalry among the
railroads to see which one will secure
the first wool shipment. This season
the honors are to the Northern Pacific
and the Rock Island into Chicago.
Lee ]. Cook, we'll known stock
man of Valley county, died in a hospi-

juries received in a runaway accident
several days ago. Cook and his wife
and daughter were driving home from
Glasgow when he became suddenly in
sane, and yelling and screaming, be-
gan to lash his horces. The team ran
away down the mountain side and the
three occupants of the vehicle were
thrown out. The women were badly
bruised and Cook received a severe
blow on the head which made him un-
conscious. He became raving mani
ac and never regained his mind before
death. No cause can be ascribed for
Cooks sudden insanity.

The drownings in Spring river
in the last two weeks remind ue
that probably there is not a boy in
Baxter Springs but sneaks off to the
river three or four times a week.
The trouble is not always with the
parents, either. The boys are talked
to and given good advice. in many
instances cases of drowning being
recited to them. But il is not like
ly these talks do much good. The
only wonder is that there are not
two or three drownings every week.
Tuesdays sad affair will have ten
dency to discourage this sneaking
to the river for few days, however.

FIRE At JOHN LUNDIN's.
Finest Barn In County Burned With
All It's Contents.

The Columbus Advocate tells as
follows of the burning of John Lun
din's fine barn: About IL o'clock
Friday night the magnificent barn
on the farm of John Lundin, four
miles south of town, was discover.
ed to be on fire, the light from the
flames awakening the family. The
flames were fifty feet high and there
v az no chance to do anything to-
ward stopping the FIRE. One horses
n stallion, was led out, being the
only thing saved.
The barn was unusually large,
being 50 by 10 feet. About 90 tons
of hay and considerable quantity
of grain and feed were stored in il,
and all the farm implements with
which the farm was usually stock
ed, much of II new, and three pleas
ure carriages.
Six work horses were in the barn
and the carcaeses of only five are
found in the wreck. There 10
strong suspicion that the fire was
started by an incendiary who took
the missing animal.
A few days ago Mr.. Lundin met
young man about Is yeare old in
Columbus who was seeking farm
work. He gave the name of Frank
Benton, and said he was from Car
terville, Mo. Mr.. Lundin engaged
the man to work and took him
home with him. The heavy rains
stopped farm work and II wac
agreed the fellow should visit his
wife at Carterville and return next
Sunday to go to work on the Lun.
din farm, and he left. Friday even
ing he was at Frank Taylor's farm,
where he denied knowing Lundin's,
exciting suspicion among those
who knew he had gone there to
work. After dark he wac seen GO
ing toward Lundin's place. Special
effort is being made by the A. Fl. T.
A. to apprehend him.
Mr.. Lundin's loss 10 about $1,000,
which 10 partially covered by in
surance. He had $500 on the barn
and will get about half the value of
the horses destroyed, making his
