sCANT ATTIRE SHOCKS COW BOYS
Inaugural Ball Has Depressing
Effect on Western Visitors.

An interview in one of the dailies,
recently, tells of the impression the
millionaire ball, on March 4th, had on
the COW boys, who were present as the
guest of the president:
Talk about dressing! We do some
dog in clothes in Big Timber, but we
were laid out5cold at the bal, said
Humphrey
We gets into the ball and the first
thing we sees was a stunning woman
5cavorting across the floor with a fellow
in a swell uniform. But the girl didn't
appear to have any clothes on. She
looked cold, and lost. Long Thomp-
son turned his head away and blushed,
something he hasn't done since he was
"a calf on the range Of life. He whispers
to US, especial to Slider Avery, who
was staring until his eyes began to
bulge:
For God S sake, fellers, don't look!
That poor heifer's broke loose without
KNOWN how she looks! Give her a
chance to duck.
SO We all shuts our eyes but Avery
he never was respectable, anyway.
After a time, when it got tiresome, we
opens our lamps, and there's a
hundred Or more women skating
around, dressed like the first nothing
on but a lariat and saddle blanket.
$ I'm going to be, says Maxey.
for if ever talk in my sleep after ]
get home and my old woman gets on
to what sinful things I've seen here,
it's all day
So we back out, rejoicing that we
don't live where clothes are so scarce.
Otherwise we had a bully time.
sTeddy's-all right. We're going to
send him a horse this spring that will
beat anything W ashington ever saw.

FARMERS FIX To FEDERATE
Gigantic Organizations of Farmers
Now Planned.
Movement Expected to Take in
Farmers OF Every State.
Members to Ship Produce Direct
ly to Primary Markets.

"A gigantic is enfootamong
the agriculturists of the surrounding
states toward the organization Of a
Farmers federation ormutual strength
and benefit.
The movement, which is fostered by
well known Chicago board of trade
men, is expected to spread and take in
all of the 10000, 900 farmers of the
United States.
They will then, working as unit.
possess a power and a force against
which nothing can prevail, which will
then enable them to combat success
fully the adverse influences which are
combined against them.
AS it is, producers have no voice in
determining the price they shall re-
ceive for their products, but must ae-
cept that offered them at their local
station, regardless Of the fact that they
have to pay the other mans price for
what they buy.
The plan is to have the farmers in
the various communities unite in a
shipping association and ship their
products direct to the primary markets.
w Ell. Latspeich, president Of the
new organization, which has head
quarters in Somers, Iowa says:
Tits believed that the ten million
farmers Of the United States can be
successfully organized, beginning in
the townships. 1t should be possible
TO organize thoroughly township in
. week. Then organize all townships
in a county, joining them together in
counties, counties into states, states
into national organization; then let
farmers use theirmosteffec tiyeweapon,
the ballot, for sending representatives
10 their legislatures and to International
body, pledged to see that farmers re-
aeive their just dues.n
FL. FL. Carr, prominent broker with
offices in the Board Of Trade building,
is one Of the promoters of the idea and
has but recently returned from stump

The doctrine of Unitarianism is

A ROMAN FIASCo.
The Colossal show That Was Plan

The Colossal Show That Was Plan
ned by Symmachns.
Symmachns, last of the great MOBILES
of Rome, who. blinded by tradition
thought to revive the glories OF his
beloved city by reyiving its shame,
graphically describes the anxieties Of
the preparations for one of these CO.
lossal shows, ,on which he is said to
have spent what would be about ESQ.,
goo of our money. He began a year
in advance. Horses, bears, IONS
Scotch dogs, crocodiles, chariot driv-
ers, hunters. actors and the best glad
iators were recruited from all parts.
But when the time drew near nothing
was ready. Only7a few of the animals
had come, and these We're half dead
of hunger and fatigue. The bears had
the lions. At the eleventh hour the
eroeodiles reached Rome but they re-.
fused to eat and had to be killed all
at once i'll order that they might not
die of hunger. 1t was even worse
with the gladiators who We're intend
ed to provide, as in all these beast
shows, the browning entertainment.
Twenty nine of the Saxon captiyes,
whom Symmachus had chosen on ac-
count of the well known valor Of their
race, strangled one another in prison
rather than fight to the death for the
amusement Of their conauerors. And
Symmaehus, with all his real elevation
OF mind, was moved to nothing but
disgust by their sublime choice,
Rome in her greatest days had gloried
in these shows. How could man
be a patriot who set his face against
customs which followed the Roman
eagles round the world? How many
times since then has patriotism been
held to require the extinction of moral
sense p Gontemp Review.

FIRST GRADE TEACHERS FAIL
Deficient in History, (i;ranlmaranei
Arithmetic.
More Than Sixty Per Cent Fail {,
Pass Examinations.
First Grade Teachers Promise Il
Be Scarce in Minnesota.

Has the standard Of the Minnesota
teachers advanced during the last year?
is the question which some OF the edu-
Gators of the state are trying to deter
mine from figures issued Saturday by
the state department of instruction
showing the number which passed at:
the recent teachers examination, held.
all over the state last month.
More than so per cent Of the appli-
cants taking the examin alton failed to
pass and will have to wait another
year before trying again forcertif cates
of a higher grade. While some of the
applicants taking the examination
were only students, great number Of
them were country schoo teachers who
desired to get up a few notches IN their
profession. Only a few over 40 per
cent were so fortunate.
There we're 5, 473 who took theexam-
ination. OF that number only 1883.
passed and 3, 400 failed. There were
1e2who received first gradeeer tifcates,
1858 second grade, SO ditional frsts,
s412 conditional seconds and 422 limited
seconds. The number making appli-
cations for first grade certificates was
465; second grade 2, 041, limited certi-
fcates 2, s58, renewal SO, and exchange
SO.
History, grammar and arithmetic
were the rocks upon which most Of the
applicants houndered, and some
foundered very badly. In history
1852 passed and 2, l55 failed; per-
centage Of 40.2 passed and 5e.8 failed;
grammar plucked 1917 and passed
1855, a percentage Of failures OF 55.6;
in arithmetic 1863 failed and 2,208
passed, which makes the percentage OF
failures 46.1.
