LICENSED STATIONS
Warning Sent Out by the Stallion
Registration Board OF the
State of rlontana.
Bozeman. Montana, May I4th, 1909

Bozemau. Montana, May I4th. 1909.
Editor Ssarchlight.-The work OF the
Stallion Registration Board has begun and
il is found that some stations that were
thought to be pure bred are not, but are
only on bogus certificates of registration.
There are at the present time. unscrupulous
stallion salesman from other states in Mon
tana, selling .horses on bogus certificates
and the public is warned. Every stallion
purchased should be licensed before the
deal is made, and then there will be no
question about the horse being able to I'll
the requirements of the Law. There are
honest men in Montana. who are Offering
stations for sale and they deserve support.
but as they cannot often be distinguished
from tn Inscriptions class, il Is advised
and urged that no stallion be offered for
sale without service license. 4 license
is an endorsement Of the horse and viii
help sell him.

THEY WERE AFRAID
Bill to Regulate Ladies' Headgear
Fails to Pass in
Illinois.

The Illinois legislature showed the white
feather when the big hat issue came before
them. A legislator by the name Of Hilton
introduced bill.making the selling or wear
ing Of the portable ba,h,ub style of ladies'
hats a misdemeanor. He had the sympathy
of large majority of the legislators, but
unfortunately most of them were married,
aud one married member frankly declared
that he would be afraid to 20 home il he
voted against the sky-scraper hats of his
women folk. and all married members CT
the legislature followed his cowardly lead.
and voted no, declaring that they also
wanted to go home after the legislative
session was over. Advocates of women
suffrage, please make note of this domi-
nance of the sex over the legislative func-
tons of great state.
But the cowardly legislators who fled
from duty before the thought of pe,ticoat
wrath did do something in the way Of re-
form to square themselves with portion Of
their constituents-the long portion at that.
They passed bill making the shortest legal
length of bedsheets in hotels and lodging
houses Of 10 or more rooms % inches. This
gives foot and three inches to fold under
the mattress to a seven foot man and a big
margin Of safety to toes of the averageman.
Stimulated to the onward march of philan-
thropy by this glorious idea, they included
a provision that these 99-inches sheets
should be changed every time a new guest
occupied the bed. Not satisfied with reach
ing this high plan of ethical and aesthetic
achievement, they also pressed on a gallant
charge against the roller lowell. and pro.
vided in an amendment to the bill that this
ancient institution in the hotel wash room
should be abolished, and individual towels
furnished the guest. The brave Legislators
probably argued that they might as we'll be
killed for stealing sheep as a lamb. and
having run the hotel keepers up against the
long sheet issue they might as well 60 the
whole length Of the rope of reform. They
did for they also ordered a long knotted
rope installed in every bedroom so that il
the guest was a trained athlete he mig let
himself down to safety in even, of FIRE and
if he felt inclined to commit suicide he
might hang himself without tearing the
long sheets into strips for the purpose.
But all these desperate attempts to con
ciltate the reiormers will he in vain so far
as blot'ing out their pusilanim aus record
on the Tower OF Babel hat is concerned
The man who goes to the theatre and
gazes a, an inverted bathtub on the head
OF the woman in front of him IS not think
ing OF keeping his toes warm when he gets
home to his hotel. He is thinking that he
did notPay the price of admission to see that
sort OF scenery. The anti-big hat bill
filled long felt want and the Legislators
lost noble opportunity to hand their
names down to fame. Falls Tribune

Peanuts and Sleep.

From the New York American.
Recently O friend who had heard that
/ sometimes suffer from insomnia told me
of a sure cure. Eat a pint of peanuts
and drink two or three glasses of milk
before going to bed said he, and I'll
warrant you'll be asleep within half an
hour" / did as he suggested, and now for
the benefit of others who raay be afflicted
with insomnia / feel 1t to be my duty to
report what happened, so far as l am able
to recall the details. a"
First, let me say my friend was right.
/ did go to sleep very soon after my re-
.tirement. Then a friend with his head
under his arm came along and asked me
II 1 wanted to buy his feet. I was nego-
tiating with him when the dragon on
which 1 was riding slipped out Of his
skin Inc left me floating in midair. While
I was considering how 1 should get down
q bull with two heads peered over the
edge OF the wall and said he would haul
me up IL / would first climb up n rig
a windlass for him. So as l was sliding
down the mountain side the brakeman
came in and 1 asked him when the train
would reach my station.
I'VE passed your station 400 years ago."
he said, calmly folding up the train and
slipping 1t into his vest pocket.
At this juncture the clown bounded into
the ring and pulled the center pole out Of
the ground, lifting the tent and all the
people In 1t up, up, while 1 stood on the
earth below watching myself go out of
sight among the clouds above. Then /
awoke and found 1 had been asleep almost
10 minutes.
