DIST.

At last the snow, with freedom from the dust which the trolley cars drew along in clouds when swiftly moving, and which was swirled about every where when the winds were high The unhealthfulness of such an invasion of dust needs no argument to prove. There are strong lungs and weak lungs. But all suffer in these street simoons. One of our recently tourists, who struck Vienna on his journeyingsr was much interested in a society re- centiy organized there which might be, with great benefit to the comfort and health of our folks, initiated here. The purpose of the new Austrian body is the abatement of the dust nuisance in streets and public highways. Various proposed schemes for laying dust will be studied, and when thought sufficient ly practical are to be given actual trials III the streets
 The increasing clouds of dust blown about the streets of this city on windy days are more than nasty and disa- greeable. To say nothing of the mil lions of microbes carried about on the backs of the dust particles, the mechan- ical irritation caused by breathing this gritty powder day after day is menace to the lungs and air passages. Visitors to the recent tuberculosis exposition in New York could not fail to be impress ed by the black and dirt-laden lungs of the city dweller there exhibited
 It is a wonder that New Haven's sprinkling carts didn't do more to abate the dust nuisance of late than they did.

A VEGETARIAN VICTORY.

It looks as if the consumers had won something very like a victory in their contest with the beef trust. For the members of the great organization are inclined to be "tetchy" as they see they are the victims of combine" It all came about because one man here found that if he ate beef only once in- stead of three times day his rheuma- tism was less troublesome and another and another man there earned after three or four months trial that with meat figuring less often than formerly on the breakfast table, the bills sent in by his proyisioners and his family phy- sician were smaller than even before. So even if in the beginning there were thoughts among beef consumers of plotting revenge for the packer, such intentions have disappeared. The changed diet has led to a changed and more desirable condition of bodily health and even if porterhouse steak were now put on the bargain counter those who have been converted to par- tial vegetarianism would never go back to those olden menus which call for meat in some form three times a day.-Boston Evening Transcript

GI.rMpsES OF WILD noAR.

The original thirteen little wild pigs which were brought from the Black Forest, Germany, and liberated in Cor bin Park, some fifteen years ago. have done their best to prove that their number was not an unlucky one. They have increased until their name is le. zion, in spite of the fact that, from first to last, hundreds of wild boaI have been shot in the great game pre- serve, or shipped alive to other parts of the country.
 In the early autumn before the shoot ing begins, 1t is not a very difficult matter to get glimpses of these strange wild pigs, as they leave the woodland in the late afternoon to root on open hillsides or to visit old orchards, in the hope of finding fallen apples They are not particularly wary at such times, and, provided one keeps them well to the windward of him, 1t is often possible to approach quite close with out the animals being aware of his presence. Their sight, in the daytime at least, Is not very acute, and their hearing is probably not much better; if it is, then they are not very discrlm. mating in the matter of sounds, I have seen a man, with the wind in his face walk up to within a few yards of a wild boar feeding in an open orchard about sundown, and knock it over with rife before 1t had the slightest sus. picion of his presence. Of course, af- ter the shooting had been Ion" for 2 week, such a thing would hardly be possible, as by that time the boar are "on' too and venture into the open as little as possible during daylight This is especially true of the old boar: young ones may occasionally be caught off their guard, and shot after sunrise or before sunset, but it Is seldom that an old tusker gives & hunter a chance to do this. If he is shot at all, it must be at daybreak, or in the few minutes before 1t becomes too dark to see the sights of rifle.
 But even after the shooting begins it is possible to see the boar in the woods, if one knows the time and place to see him. Many of them sleep during tue day, in large shallow nests of evergreen boughs, which they make for themselves in sheltered spots in the forest If one knows where such a nest is to be found, it is usually only matter of careful stalking to ap- proach near enough to see the family, or a part of it, at home. It may be an old sow, lying comfortably in a hol- low nest beneath the low growing branches of a spruce and surrounded by her well-grown pigs, or it may be huge boar whose head, betusked and grim, protrudes from g. pile of spruce boughs which cover the rest of his body. But whichever it is, there is sure to be rather strong, piggy odor about the place, more noticeable be- cause the observer has, of course, ap- preached with tfle nest to the wind ward of him.

NEXT,

The next coal strike, if it comes, will be probably the biggest in history, and more prolonged than that of 1902. In the first place, the miners of both hard and soft coal are better fixed now for a long strike, being 'well heeled" Gall but the improvident ones) having had steady work with good wages for three years. Then the anthracite operators have vast stock of coal on hand, partly accumulated In expectation of strike trouble, and partly because, ow- ing to the open winter, there has been less demand for the article. There is now in the national treasury of the soft coal miners $5OO,O0O, and the dis trict treasuries $2,679, GOO. Then there is weekly assessment of $1 upon each of the 39400O members of the union. By April l the union expects to have a strike fund of not less than S5.00O0O0. In the anthracite regions the paid-up membership is placed at 90,000 out of 12O,00O eligible. The last three years have been the most prosperous the min- ing regions have ever known. The in- dividual saving is expected to counter act the fact that there were in 1902 but SOO0O miners drawing upon the strike fund of that year.
 The miners are making every prepar- alton for great struggle. The coun- try has had serious strikes in the bi- luminous mines and two prolonged strikes in the anthracite mines. But it has never had both fields on strike si- simultaneously. In the last big strike the consumer who ran out of hard coal could fill up his bins with soft coal, as the soft coal miners were at work as usual. Now the soft coal miners want more wages, and the hard coal men eight-hour day and recognition of their union. If the double strike comes it will parayze an industry that in 1904 raised to the surface 277, 7,O65,5S2 tons of mine, and 7S,6744SO tons of anthracite, worth $162151, ,S9S. The strike may have power to end the period of national 1 prosperity
 There was a total loss of $15o, 100000 |
 in the anthracite strike of 1902, and the public paid two prices on an average of every ton of coal consumed.
 It is the public who will have to pay the piper, if the strike comes, and the hard lesson of 1903 will be repeated with increased suffering among the poor The n-combatants will have the big gest share of suffering. There is hardly a man, woman or child in the country where hard coal is a necessity that will not be voluntary sharer in the dis tress that will follow. Manufacturing industries will be crippled men will be 4 out of work by tens of thousands, the railroads will be handicapped, and all because small fraction of tie coun- try's population sees fit to have out their grievances, fancied or real, and insist upon the creation of labor monopoly that will be intolerabIe and un-American.

The Guerdon.

What shall the guerdon be
 When parted lovers meet? What shall there be for me To make return more sweet? Kisses, like fragile flowers That love shakes into bloom; And smiles, like wild dawn hours That spur the halting gloom; Laughter more musical
 Than bright archangers sigh; And words, more sweet than all, To give my fears the lie. Oh, do not quite forget
 Parting cannot last; Even the sun must set
 To shine when night is past Store your sweets for me,
 Kisses, and words, and smiles; All shall reclaimed be
 Across the weary miles. When breast on breast reposes. Then shall our two hearts know Where blossom all the roses, Where all the lilies blow. Then shall these yearnings seem Mere shadows of our blisses, And brighter still shall beam Laughter, and words, and kisses.

Nobody pretends that hazing is use- full or necessary accomplishment or ap- bondage of college life, and the evils of the practice have been harped upon for generations yet it is kept up right along. One of our former prominent state officials, a Yale man of note, speaking of the practice recalled ges- terday several dreadful days and nights which he experienced due to having been hazed in various ways when at Yale. One fateful night in particular he mentioned This was when he was put in huge sack upon table and then placed and held in standing posi- ton. This done his tormentors had a powwow and discharged huge volumes of tobacco smoke into the bag at the bottom the fumes rising and envelop- ing him until he nearly perished from breathing the smoke. For a week aft erward he was prostrated. Now this brutality was considered great fun by the hazing party. Yet hazing is diff1- cult to eradicate. Even our resourceful presidentsfinds it so and the Annapolis punishment of offenders already is far cical
 Midshipman Miller, convicted of nag ing, has already been pardoned. Of course the relatives, friends and con- gressional packers of al! the other haz- CTS expect the pardon of their delin- quents, too. Why make an exception of one man?

JOHN HUDSON FOR CONGRESS

The Socialist convention that met in
Helena on the ED for the purpose Of
nominating candidates for congress and
associate justice of the supreme court,
completed their labors Thursday even
ing by naming II. Lowndes Maury of
Butte for associate justice and John
Hudson Of Carbon county for congress.
Mr.. Hudson stopped over in Livingston
on his way home, and spent the time
shaking hands with his numerous
friends in this city. He is well known
to all the old-timers in Livingston and
vicinity, having spent a number Of
years in the Upper Yellowstone. Later
on he moved to Fishtail, Carbon coun-
ty, where he has large ranch and
band Of cattle. II the republicans or
democrats think they have an antag-
onist who don't know what platform
he is running on they will be badly
fooled. There is no member Of the
Socialist party of Montana better ac-
quainted with the principles Of his
party, or who has better knowledge
Of economic conditions in this and all
other countries. He has given the sub
ieet years of study and attention, and
has the history OF socialism, its bene-
fits and advantages at his fingers ends.
When asked by a representative Of
the Enterprise If he intended to make
campaign throughout the state, Mr..
Hudson replied:
mo, haven't the time to do il. I
have 75 tons Of hay to cut and get up,
besides a herd of cattle to round up,
calves to brand, and beef to ship. II I
could get all the labor vote Of the
state, of course / would be elected, but
/ expect to carry the Socialist vote and
make good showing for my party.

ness, but the convention insisted on IL
and I am on the ticket and will stay.
The other two parties are going to

and, of course, will carry on campaign
all over the state"

preciates the honor the convention did
