THE SUMMER ISLES.
Where There Are No Taxes-Only
 Roses and Lilies and Onions.

Because the Bermuda islands lie within 6s0 miles of New York. they have been kept bristling with English soldiers and sailors. guns and ships
 All these soldiers and sailors have had to be fed, paid and lodged and so the gentle Bermudans have sat com fortahly at home and prospered by the vast amounts of money sent by the mother country.
 At about the beginning of this cen tury it apparently occurred to the Brit ish powers that there was little likeH- hood of any war with the United States. so ships and men were sent home to attend to other matters-to the great loss of Bermuda revenue.
 There are practically no taxes in these wonderful islands, not even on the land or for roads-which, by the way. are superb. The only tax I could discover was what is called a parish tax, which means that if you go to the established church you pay shilling a year to support il.
 The tourist agent speaks of Bermuda as the Land of the Lily and the Rose, % which is correct enough, since lilies are grown by the acre for the bulbs which American florists force into eastern blooms, and of roses there is plenty 
 the potato extract the most wealth from the land.
 The farmer grows from one to four crops a year of many of her products Cultivation is confined to the hollows where the soil has accumulated in pockets over the coral beds which form the islands This soil in most places is not more than telr~to eighteen inches deep. a mellow loam which looks like finely powdered cocoa.
 Truck farming is scarcely considered. Potatoes and onions and lily bulbs are too easily raised and several hundred and even a thousand dollars or more profit may be made from a single acre. But with prices falling and the Texans growing vast quantities Of onions Der muda will eventually have to turn to other crops.
 The working farmer here is the Por- tuguese He was imported as a farm 'Iaborer and by thrift and good man agement has become q tenant instead of hired man, and now raises certain ly half if not more than half she crops of Bermuda.
 The negro is not the problem he is in our own southern states. Of the 17.O00 souls on the islands about 50 or 70 per cent are negroes. They are law abid- ing and remarkably industrious citi- zens. on the average very well educated hv the colony and they surprise a stranger by speaking with the accent of an EngIishman. with little O. no negro dialect.
 When the Bermudan wishes to build a house he removes from the site the top soil which will probably be no- above ten inches thick, perhaps less Under this is a coral limestone little

vcTImIzED scHooL TEACHERS

A party of sixty school teachers from Texas. who several weeks ago arrived in Colorado to spend their vacations in Manitou and about Pike's Peak, have been undergoing a sad experience. It was a personally conducted affair, led by a former principal of the high school in Waco. Texas who made the teach CTS pay in advance and then vanished with about S2OO0 of their money. The party made their way home as best they could. putting complaints on file in Colorado Springs against their guide, E. H. Reynolds who has now been ar rested. He was found working as cook for. q railroad surveying party, and If the law gets him back to Texas there will be plenty doing by these school teachers scorned.- Springfield Repub- lican.

TILLMAN'S REFRESHING HON
 ESTY.

Senator Tillman's most engaging characteristic is that he frequently is as frank about himself as about others He was recently to have delivered n prepared speech on the race problem at the Columbia tMo) chautauqua But apparently the managers thought that Tinman's treatment of the subject would not be helpful; at any rate, as reported in the Missouri papers, they asked him not to deliver it. Tillman therefore obligingly gave an extem poTareoUs speech on the railroad rate question. But when the management undertook to pay him $500 he refused 1t. because as he said. his speech was bum" This is refreshing.-Springfie Republican

He stated that there was not the slight

He said II he was of the Jewish race he

The garrison at Fort Assinniboine has
been depleted by the departure of the
first battalion of the Seventh infantry,
which left last Friday for Fort Wayne.
The reason for removal of these troops.
it is explained by authorities, is simply
the necessity of garrisoning eastern forts
which have been similarly depleted by
the Intervention of the nation in the Cub

Havre are all of the same tenor that
the war department has by no means d
bandoned it's consideration of Fort AS
sinniboine, but that, on the contrary
it's higher officials are carefully looking
over the reports of the commanding gen
erals-alI of which declare the AsSlnnl-
boine reservation the best post Tor

States, adapted to all work known to the
several army branches.
Gen. Chaffee, while commander-in-
chief of the army, was particularly IN
sstent that Fort Assinnibone reserVa-
tion be made an artillery post. General
Nelson A. Miles, While comnAanaer-ih-

The departure of the Seventh infantry
leaves the post distinctly caVairS

BROWNE IS 4 PIONEER DEMOCRAT

There is no better and more favorably
known man in Montana than David =.
Browne, Of Fort Benton, vino has been
selected as the chairman Of the demo-
Helena Independent. Mr.. Browne is
an essentially self-made man, rising
from the driver of a mule team to the
present position of eminence he now
holds.
In 1859 Mr. Browne was born in Bel
fast, Ireland, emigrating to the United
States seventeen years later. 4 year
after he arrived in this country he came
west and found employment as a stage
driver. BY frugal living and strict g
economy he was soon enabled to pur
chase team and equipment and came
to Fort Benton in 1879 and engaged in
freighting. His natural ability fitt"d
him to be a leader of men and two
years after coming to Fort Benton he
became general manager of a large
litiShlLhS COltlpdLSr SUI SpHtiHuiiS IA
disidual freightng.
While living at Fort Benton, M.
Browne became interested in the cattle
industry and is today one of the largest
cattlemrn in the state. For many years
he has been one of the prominent figures
in Chouteau county's industrial and busi-
ness life. He is one of the founders of
the Stockmen's National bank, of Fort
Benton, and has long been a member Of
the board of trade of that city.
A lifelong democrat, he has been hon
ored with many important positions and
has always displayed signal ability in
dscharging the affairs of such positions.
He has served as alderman in Fort Ben
ton: county commissioner of Chouteau
county; was a member of the constitu-
tional convention: an alternate to the

declared, is to be feared. In this con-
nection considerable comment has been
aroused by an editorial defense of this
command that was driven out of Texas
which appears in the Missoula Mis-

company was highly genteel while in
Fort Missoula and in perfect accord with

place where it is already satisfactory"

present four troops of the Second ca
valry, not OF full complement. Capt.
John ]. Boniface, who not long ago
succeeded to the office of quartermaster,
will remain in charge at Fort Assinni-
boine. Several changes in office have
been made, however, the staff of the
post now being: . J.. p. Hunt colonel
of the Second cavalry; Lieut.. Parker,
post adjutant; Capt. Steers IN char 81

T. J. Walsh, democratic candidate for
congress flom Montana, fought against
all kinds OF odds in IIavre at the rally
held in Havrc Tuesday night, but he
made an impression that showed his
party folk that he was the man they
were looking for and was left marked
even on the opposition. He indicated
his right to the title often given him
elsewhere Of ''the Greatest Orator of
Montana"
AS to the doctrines he expounded th"
will, of course, continue to so on un-
til election day, November next, but
Mr., Walsh, himself as he is, was voted
by all who heard him as all right"
Mr.. Welsh came with fame that should
have brought him q larger audience at
the Chestnuts hail meeting and many
other conventions and conditions of the
day prevented them from attendance. As
an eXpounder Of democracy Mr.. Walsh
certainly made himself felt by all VINO
heard him, irrespective Of their politics
or partisanship.
It was the night before the fair, and
Havre folks were greatly Interested in

on general topic, giving right of way
to the guest of the occasion. His views
long known to the people Of HaVre
were made more plainly and suecintly
plain, however, than he had opportunity
to make them before.
Mr.. Walsh's main point was that
Stand by Roosevelt" was not the issue
of the campaign, ut all. He said that
the result of the approaching election
while it would unquestionably mean dc
mocratc victory, would not mean that
the people were particularly dissatisfied
With President Roosevelt, but that ]
would show, positively, that it is tired
of the trust machine, backed up by

number, showing in the best possible
manner the growing Welding of effort in
Northern Montana for the improvement
and prosperity of the entire section
All stores and shops in the city were
closed, and there went along two of
Havre's bands-the Citizens Band, which
has twice won second prize in contests
over the state, and the band represent
| ing the machinists OF the Great North
ern Shops. Each band won the applause
that it deserved.
Six coaches We're required to take
the Havre "bunch' to the "doings" Of
it's neighborng city. Everybody who
didn't go, man and woman, went down
to the debarkation to cheer without stint
for Chinook. During the day there was
nothing doing in Havre that was not
absolutely necessary.
The fair in Chinook the first in Chou
teau county, was superior to all expect
ations of visitors. Arrangements for the
guests seemed a bit bad, but the COM
mttees were bit new at the job of
! entertaining an aggregation of un-
iooked-for size During the day the de-
sire to entertain was thoroughly demons
trated, and most agreeably shown to
the guests from Havre.
| Detailing of affairs must necessarily
be left to the press of Chinook, which
will doubtless print the list of all the
winners About all that Havre people
knew in that connection when they came
home was that Havre won the football
game by q score of to 0. There be
ball game was ''altogether Havre's way
but these are not lGcn who understand
the game of football.
! In the first half the Chinook eleven
kicked off. After that both clubs showed
the usual science according to their re-
spective ability. The Chinook club evil
IDENTIFY, had superior weight, although
weight was not in contention in the max
! ing of the match and there was no
weghing-in. Chinook fought stubbornly
and Havre was kept from the goal,
though they carried the ball by hard
! fought effort and steady gains to within
three feet of the goal when time was
called.
First half; Havre {; Chinook, 0. That
| is the score as it was and that doesn't t
look as If Havre had any particular ad-
vantage when it couldn't make a touch
down, no. score Il goal In the next
half the Havre team secured a touch
down through Chnook's tumble securing
s points thereby and then Henry Logee
made u fine gather and he kicked the
goal with ease. The only thing the
folks of Havre We're sorry about was
that they didn't have ten other men like
Logee, so they could go out and de
monstrate to all the world.
