SAM WAS CHANGED
GREAT LIGHT SUDDENLY DAMNED
ON YOUNG MAN.
Brief Interview with Consumpt've
Peddler Turned His Thoughts
Away from Foolish and
Carnal Things.

During the harvest time" said the
old farmer who had brought a load OF
potatoes to market, II hired on three
extra men, and one Of them turned
out to be a boxer. He and my son
Sam took to each other, and Sam
bought a pair Of boxing gloves and
took about 20 lessons in what they
calls the art When harvest was
over and he had got through he jest
Mapped his wings and crowed and said
he could lick anything that Travelled
our highway. ] didn't say nothin'
either way. but jest waited. When a
young Teller of 20 gets a chip on his
shoulder somebody's purity sure to
come along and knock 1t off. One day
q tin peddler drove up, and saw Sam
steppin' high and spittin' over his
shoulder. Bimeby he got up a row
with the Teller and knocked him out
in one round. For two weeks after
that It was brag from mornin' till
night. He got sassy to me and to the
nayburs, and one could see what he
was achin' for. We was diggin' 'taters
one day, when the same peddler's
wagon drove up, and Sam turns to me
and says:
dad, that peddler has come back
after more. Come along and see me
put him to Sleep"
I'VE went up to the house to dis
kiver that 1t was the same boss and
wagon, but a different man. He said
he was n consumptive who vas ped
din for his health, and that he doesn't
exert hisself much for fear Of n
hemorrhage of the lungs. Sam was
nightly disappointed and was going
back to the 'taters when the stranger
said somethin' about his bow legs.
Purity 10 they was passin' hot
words, and / was tryin' to quiet 'em.
when the stranger got up and called
wagon. Sam went for him and
squared of and led with the left. and
the next thing I saw was his heels in
the air. He ~scrabbled up and went
down again, and the third time he
went right to sleep and laid there.
Then the stranger laughed and
climbed on his wagon and drove away.
1t took men the old woman 80 min
utes to revive Sam, and we found him
a changed young man. He's read 40
chapters in the Bible in the last 30
nights, and has committed ~ hymns
to memory, and when I ask him how
he feels he rolls his eyes and answers:
Tim Affecting, Dad, that I'm not
long for this wicked world, and I'm
a-hopin' that you and ma'am will so
live that you kin jine me in that bet.

WHALE CARRIED OFF THE Ll;Ss
The Monster Also Made Away with a
Good Harpoon.

Up among the torn bergs of the Arc.
tic q monster whale Is cruising about
with a harpoon imbedded in his thick
back and something less than half q
mile Of stout hempen rope trailing
after him.
The crew of the steam whaler
Thrasher, which returned Sunday
night from an eight months cruise in
the icy north, declare that Mister
Whale got all that was coming to
him."
He got away from u.s. muttered
the mate, splitting viciously into the
scuppers, but we will get him next
season. 1t was good rope we used,
n he'll get tangled up on something
so we will be one whale to the good
when we get back there.
He was a bad one, though. You
see Silva, the boat steerer. slung the
hook into him when we were in open
water between two big bergs. or he
goes with the stick in his back, and
the rope went out like a man tumbling
from the loft. He ducked and dived
until n tub Of rope was gone, and he
did the same with another. He was
making for the nearest foe and when
he reached 1t he spit a lot Of water
into the air and took a deep dive. The
edge of the ice cut the rope like a
knife and he was off for good, with
1000 feet of the Thrasher's line and q
good harpoon with him.'-San Fran.

Must import Marriaaeable Girls.

The problem of finding wives has
become a serious one in st. Peters
burg. The male population exceeds
the female by 1874 1000 in the Russian
capital, and the authorities are weigh
ing plans for importing prospective
brides from the provinces. The need
of wives, indeed, has led to the ma
king of several fortunes in matrimoni-
al agencies, heavy fees being eXacted
for pretty girls as wives from remote
country places. The men outnumber
the women in all classes in st. Peters

ten hn distinguished from the unscrup-

no stallion be offered for sale without

dorseinent of the horse and will help
sell him.
The work of the Stallion Registra-
lion Board is revealing the fact that
the stallion swindle is one Of the worst
that has struck Montana.
The mare owner should insist that
a copy of the license be kept posted,
where he may see it as provided for by
law. A stallion owner who refuses to
take out license in most cases if not
all, has a horse with which there is
something wrong, he may be scrub
on a bogus certificate Of registration
and worthless as breeder, or he may
possess certain hereditary unsound-
ness, that is desired to be kept from
the mare owner, because it lowers or
destroyes his value as breeder. If a
stallion is what is claimed for him in
breeding soundness, a license is many
times of more value than its cost, but
if such horse has no license, then the
fact may be that there is something
wrong with him.

During the past ~ years ! have an

of land in Cascade county, depending

from my indifferent methods Of farm
ing ! have learned that the possibilities
Of farming on the rich, mellow lauds Of
northern Montana are almost without

larger than the average wheat crop
of Montana or North akota. | re-
greet that | did not sooner ascertain
by practical tests the advantages that
can be derived from growing alfalfa
without irrigation. For, while this won
derful plant possesses a value un-
equalled for forage purposes, thus op-
ening the broadest field for the dairy
interest here, it will, in my opinion,
through its fertilizing properties, place
the agriculture of the west on a more
profitable and enduring basis than it
could otherwise occupy. Farming
without an irrigation ditch, in Mon
tana, would have been much farther
advanced but for the determined eft
forts of many persons to decry it, thus
turning immigration to other parts of
the far west. These persons, for the
time, have also done much to retard
IN advance in land values, and espec-
tally the value Of productive but non
irrigated farms. But the tide Of west
ern immigration is ceaseless and, in
spite Of opposition where the hand Of
welcome should be given it will cover
all the west.

and just representatives. That a leth
argy exists among farmers il regard to
political duties is evident from the
class Of legislators that represent them,
composed rs it is almost wholly Of men
from other professions and possessing
but little interest in the affairs Of the
farmer.
Confidence Needed
"Thc farmer has submitted SO long
to the powers that be, tina in many
places he has lost confidence in his abil-
ity to do anything, and above all needs
the stimulating influence of farm or
ganiZation to awaken his en- crg.es and
give him courage. To do the work as
signed to him as a citizen he needs an
understanding of the questions of the
day; he needs preparation that will
enable him to act in the management of
the affairs Of his time In short, he
must be able to stand up and defend his
interests whenever it is required, and
this ability to think quickly and act
courageously only comes from a drill
obtained in organization, and farm or
ganization teaches him to have conf
dence in his fellow-farmers and ac-
quaints him with the vital questions
affecting his interests.
Created Social Being
''The farmer was created a social be-
ing and needs the wholesome influence
of organization to keep him 80. His
business is comparatively one Of isola-

environments. The. farmer who lives
