New Bison Range

The bison range in the Fathead
Indian reservation in Montana, to es-
tablish which Congress at its last ses-
sion appropriated $40, 600. has been
selected. The location Of the range is
the one recommended by Prof. Morton
J. Elrod, Of the University of Montana,
after he had carefully examined several
parts of the country. It lies directly
north of the Jockosriver near the towns
of Ravalli and Jocko. Approximately

Of the $40. 900 appropriated, only
SO, 600 will be- available for fencing
the range and constructing. the shelter

the proper m%aafiintainrance and care Of the

paid to the owners Of the land. many Of
whom are indians. Funds for the pur-
chase of the bison are being raised
under the auspices sof the American
Bison society. which was largely in

The Disappointed Office Seeker.

Back in 1856, when Buchanan was
running for the presidency, he had an
intimate friend in a western state who
was also a friend of mine. says an old
timer. This man worked early and
late for Buchanan's cause and really
did as much as any one else to put his
state in the Buchanan column on cleo
ton day.
My friend, whom we will call Smith.
had a wife who was an invalid. He
thought that he was entitled to some
recognition-as he was-for the work
he had done, and he applied for con-
sulate on the coast of the Mediterra-
mean, believing that the sojourn there
would improve his wife's health.
Months went by and he heard moth
ing of his application. except that it
had been received by the president.
Then came the blow. He was notified
that he had been made consul at some
little town in Iceland. Smith sat down
and wrote a letter. which l saw before
it left, so l can vouch for it. The let
ter read:

of these United States:

Why the Stove Was Elevated.

why tuC okoNS w aS -iSSdNSA'
Two professors were the guests of a
college chum at hunting camp in the
woods. When they entered the camp
their attention was attracted to the
unusual position of the stove, which
was set on posts about four feet high.
One Of the professors began to COM
ment upon the knowledge woodsm ell
gain by observation. Now" said he,
this man has discovered that the heat
radiating from the stove strikes the
roof, and the circulation is so quicken
ed that the camp is warmed in much
less time than would be required If
the stove were in its regular place on
the floor"
The other professor was of the opin-
ion that the stove was elevated to be
above the window in order that cool
and pure air could be had at night.
The host, being more practical, con-
tended that the stove was elevated in
order that good supply of green wood
could be placed beneath it to dry.
After considerable argument each
man placed a dollar bill upon the ia
BILE, and it was agreed that the one
whose opinion was nearest the guide s
reason for elevating the stove should
take the pool.
The guide was called and asked why
the stove was placed in such an I'M
usual position.

The Polite Stranger.

Some years ago while the late Bish-
op Clark of Rhode Island was attend
ing a lecture in Boston he observed a
man sitting three seats in front whom
he thought he knew. He requested
the person sitting next to him to
punch" the other individual with his
umbrella. The polite stranger did so,
and, the disturbed person turning his
head little, Bishop Clark discovered
it was not the person he supposed.
Fixing his attention steadfastly on the
lecturer and affecting Inconsistencies
of the whole affair, he left the man
with the umbrella to settle with the
other. There was a ludicrous and en-
barrassing scene, during all of which
Bishop Clark was profoundly interest
ed in the lecture. At last the man
with the umbrella asked Indignantly,
Didn't you tell me to punch that per-
son with my umbrella?' Yes
And what did you wantT' Il want

A Historic Piq,

A Historic Pig.
1t was a single vote cast in a town
election in Rhode Island, in 1911,
which led to the declaration of war
with England in 1912 and later result
ed in the election of General Jackson
as president.
In the spring of 1911, at the annual
election in Rhode Island, in one of the
towns the voting between the parties
had been for years very close. not
more than a majority of one or two
votes. The polls closed at 6 o'clock,
and a Federal farmer. delaying voting
until late in the afternoon, hurriedly
crossed his fields to reach the polls.
In passing his last fence he found
one Of his valuable pigs fast between
the rails and stopped to get it out
Succeeding finally. he started on a
run for the voting place, but when
within 100 feet Of it the town clock
struck G, and the polls closed without
his vote.
The result was that Democrat, or
war representative. from that town
was elected by one vote. When the
general assembly met a few weeks Ia
ter Democratic. or war. United
States senator was chosen on joint bal
lot by one majority.
In 1912 the declaration of war with
England was carried in the United
States senate by one vote. General
Jackson was nominated as major gen
eral and confirmed by one vote on
Jan. 8, 1915. He commanded the army
at the battls Of New Orleans, gained
victory, became a popular military
hero and as his reward was elected
and reelected president of the United
States, turned out all the Wings. re-
moved the deposits. vetoed the national
