I dreamed Of a legion OF women, who
waited with eyes aglow
In the shadow of Loves Forgotten, by the
Ports of Long Ago;
/ dreamed of a legion of women whose
faces were tenderly mild
And bark! In the night / heard 1.-THE cry
OF a little child.
/ looked at the waiting women through
the mist OF a thousand years:
And some OF their eyes were smiling, and
some were suffused with tears,
Yet they sang as a choir IN training, and
the song of the waiting throng
Was the Did, old cry of Heaven: How
long, o Lord, how long?'
/ dreamed of a legion OF women who stood
In a driving rain;
Who raised their voices singing, yet sang
but one refrain: y.
/ looked on the waiting and their
faces were white and Wild
And harkl In the night / heard 1.-THE

No Quarantine For Smallpox.

HELENA, Dec. 18.-The state board
of health, at q special meeting held
here today, on the call of Governor
Norris, decided to stand by the posi-
ton it has taken, not to enforce quar-.
antine regulations is cases of smallpox
after Jan. l next. The only modifca-
ton will be in regard to hotels and
lodging houses, where, when a Ease of
smallpox is discovered, the patient
will be removed from the premises.
1t was expected there would be q
large number of protestants present.,
or that many protests would be re.
ceived, but this proved to be a mistake.
There were three representatives pres
ent from Missoula, Frank w body act
ing as their spokesman, and five Mis-
soula people made a general protest
against the order elimin ating Quaran-
tine for smallpox, and specifically
protested 90 behalf of hotel and lodg.
ing house keepers.
The members of the board in attend
ance were Governor Norris, Attorney
General Galen, DR.. T. D. futile, Sec
rotary, and Drs. Piggott, Donohue,
Treacy and Knowles.

Fergus Short On Lawmakers.

LEW1sTOWN, Dec. 19.-Fergus coun-
ty it seems will be short two repre-
sentatives ia the special session of the
legislature just called by Governor
Norris. At the expiration of the last
session Representative G. w. Smith,
who was from Kendall, this county,
took up his residence at Townsend,
Broadwater county, where he purch-
ased a residence and took up his
practice as a physician. Henry M.
Rae, the senator from this district,
has nos resided 10 Lewistown for q
year past and while il is said he main
tains an Office in Helena, he has been
nnt OF the state for some six months,
presumably in New York, hence this
county and district will be without
representation in the coming session
except that Rufus B. Thompson from
Lewistown is still in the state, al
though he contemplates going to Iowa
to make his home. Hence the COVER
nor will be called upon to fill these
vacancies. Both these representatives
are republicans and there is much
speculation here as to the outcome, as
Fergus county also quarries a splen-
did building stone.

Fl. Hunt this morning, twenty-one

men indicted will not be made public

Their trials will come up after the
first of the year, it is expected. No
federal grand jury in Montana ever
before returned such q large number
OF indictments. The record before has
been approximately forty. District
Attorney Freeman, himself, when the
session began, expected that the VOL

that not more than twenty-five GASES

His Dutch Ire Was Aroused,

A grapevine special from Big Sandy
reports a strenuous debate ou hoard
the eastbound passenger train a few
nights ago, the participants being q
we'll known Chinook attorney and q
county officer, each of whom belongs
to the heavyweight class. There was
q comparatively small audience pres
ent. but the lack OF numbers was fully
compensated by the enthusiasm aud
interest manifested.
The debate took place in the smok-
ing room OF the sleeping car, the sub
ject of discussion being: "Resolved,
that all Chouteau county officials are
dishonest" The affirmative side of
the proposition was chosen by the
Chinook lawyer, whose name denotes
Irish ancestry, while the negative was
handled by the county assessor, whose
boyhoOd days were spent on the banks
OF the Rhine in the dear old Father
land.
1t was a fast aud furious debate,
according to the spectators, a decision
10 favor of the negative eide being
secured at the end of the fret round,
and the champion of the Affirmative
being saved from total collapse by
the interference Of the conductor. The
furnishings of the smoking room were
somewhat damaged by the un%scientifc
gesticulations employed by each of the
orators in giving special emphasis to
certain features of his argument.
The recognized rules of the prize
ring were reversed on this occasion,
the victor and the v%anquished shaking
hands at the close Of the performance.

Montana Citizens Shun Matrimony
Helena Record.

Helena Record.
Montana is an awful state. Faddists
will hold up their hands in horror q,
the marital statistical record, showing
the woes and fluctuations which befall
the average married couple in this
state.
In proportion to population, &C.
cording TO records compiled by the
government, there are fewer mar.
riages in Montana and more divorces
than 10 any other commonwealth.
Charts showing the record of the
country by states are printed in the
Literary Digest.
Three states. Idaho, Montana and
Wyoming hold the record for the
largest number of divorces for every
100, QUO populations; bnt the marriage
statistics put Montana in a class by
itself. In Idaho and Wyoming more
marriages are contracted than in
Montana, this state showing the least
number to every 100, 600 people.
Ine reasons why this Is SO are nOt
explained. It is q problem Ia sociol.
ogy for the student to work out, but it
10 suggested that probably the chief
reason for Montana's unfavorable
showing is the preponderaoce of un.
married men in Butte. Butte 10 also
q place where the divorce mill is al
ways running, not more 80 probably
than in other places, but conditions
are such that attention is more sharp.
Iy focused on Butte than elsewhere.
Mining camps have always been
noted for their migrant population,
and as Montana has chiefly been q
mining state until the past few years,
the marriage record could not be ex.
to be q good % in more set.

Measuring Hay In Stack.

1t appears tina { the MOntana method
OF measuring hay in the stack, as
printed in the River Press some time
ago, escaped the attention of some of
the parties who were interested. An
act passed by the tenth assembly pre-
scribes the legal measurement of that
commodity, and for the benefit of
citizens who have made a request to
that effect. it Is herewith reprinted:
Four hundred twenty-five 422) cubic
feet shall constitute q ton OF clean,
native, blue joint hay, after thirty
days and up to three months settle.
ment In stack; but, when the same
shall have been over six months in
the stack, three hundred and forty
(340) cubic feet shall be considered q
ton.
Az to all other kinds of hay, after
the same shall have settled in stack
from sixty days up, five hundred and
twelve (512) cubic feet shall constitute
q ton of alfalfa or rough slough grass,
after the came shall have been in the
stack thirty 1907 days and up to one
~ year. Four hundred and fifty
(45O) cubic feet shall constitute 9 ton
of clean timothy and clover after the
same shall have been in the stack
thirty days, and up to mi year.
Making measurements of hay in
stack, the following is hereby made
the legal method Of measurement, to-
wit: The width and length Of the
stack shall be measured, and the dis.
lance from the ground against one
side OF the stack to the ground against
the other side of the stack, directly
over and opposite, shall be taken in
linear feet and inches: and then the
width shall be subtr acted from the
measurement over the stack. % above
indicated, the result divided by two,
and the result 90 obtained multiplied
by the width, and the result thus OBJ
tanned multiplied by the length, which
will give the number of cubic feet con-
tained In the stack, and the tonnage
shall thereupon be determined by di.
viding the total number of cubic feet
by the number Of cubic feet allowed
under the provisions of this Act for q
ton.

tled states. But with the growing I'm.
portance OF agriculture it is believed
that the divorce record will become
less prominent in proportion to popu.
!ation, and the marriage records will
increase.
