Oxygen Tipping.

"Oxygen tippling is the latest form
Of the drug habit" said doctor. 1.-TWO
physicians have died Of it this year,
and it is stated that there are quite
100 oxygen tipplers among the laity OF
our big cities.
"Oxygen, you know, is a wonderful
stimulant It's inhalation keeps death
off the dying for days and days. But
taken regularly it soon wrecks the
health. It's effect is said to be de-
lightful. Like champagne, it creates
gayety. Along with this gayety goes
a feeling Of tremendous power and
lightness. Drunk on oxygen, the most
sluggish and melancholy persons have
joyous and heartening idea that they
can do anything in the world-Wrest
the oil trade from Rockefeller, say,
or with little practice outrun Johnny
Hayes"

Tho Vision of City Children.

A well-known English surgeon
called attention, some time ago, to the
inability of city children to see well
at great distance, caused, he said,
by their restricted line of vision The
other side of the street is about as far
as they have an opportunity of using
their sight. 1t is different with coun-
try children. who have an expanse OF
landscape to look at, and can practice
their sight on great variety of OBJ
jects at a distance. He suggests that
city children should be given every
possible chance to do the same, and
thus train the sight and strengthen the
eyes at the same time. There is so
much good sense in this suggestion
and it should have the serious atten.
ton of fathers and mothers.

been finally determined to call a
meeting to he held in Helena at s

and it is desirable that as many as
possible attend this meeting. There
are several matters that should be
brought before this legislature that
are of great interest to the farmer,
stockraiser, dairyman and poultry
man. Therefore you can see that it
is very urgent that we have a meet
ing at this time and while in session
we can call upon the legislature, ap-
pear before the various committees
and personally take matters direct to
the legislature.
TO the end that this meeting shall
have large representation we earn
estly unge that the farmers in all
sections of the State hold local meet
ings and appoint delegates to attend.
Besides this we wish that all local or
CARNATIONS would see that delegates
were named and further that every
individual interested in any branch of
agriculture appoint himself a COM
mittee of one to attend this meeting.
In case it is impossible for you to
attend or for your community to send
in "a delegate we would like very
much to have you write us, signifying
your willingness to join and stating
to whom you would like to delegate

NOT LIKE ROMANCE
THE "soLDIER OF FORTUNE" IN

Differs In Many Material Respects
from the Heroes Who Figure So

of NoveIists.

Richard Harding Davis and other
writer's of lesser note have cast a
glamour over the title, Soldier of For
tune" which possibly applies to GER
tain victims of wanderlust and love OF
unusual adventure, but which is hor'
rible misfit to the only individual the
writer ever knew whose many adven-
lures by field and flood and beneath
halfdozen flags, properly placed him
in the class of Capt. Macklin, Red
Saunders and others known to readers
Of fiction, says writer in the Atchi.
son Globe. Sam Chalmers was the
name our soldier of fortune gave to
those who asked. Incidentally, he
was the homeliest man We ever met
a large, slouching, loose-jointed crea-
ture, who looked half man and half
gorilla. His feet and hands were too
large for his big body and he handled
both as If they were something of a
burden. He was dish-faced, had bleary
eyes and the complexion of a tan shoe
grass.
Chalmers was always dirty and
usually drunk-a man without Wis.,
ible redeeming personal feature and
little mental attraction. But he had
accomplishments; he knew enough OF
the sea to make it carry him where he
would, and, perhaps, something more.
He could speak several languages and
a half-dozen native dialects, including
that of New York's East side (the
hardest to understand, where he
claimed to have originated at some in
definite date in the past. He seemed
to have a knowledge of all the ports
of all the seven seas and could, when
he would, tell interesting tales OF
fighting Zulus in South Africa, bush
men in Australia, pirates off the China
coast and several other strange and
unpleasant creatures in other outland'
ish places.
Americans found him in an isolated
Filipino stron ghold on the island OF
Leyte, and he said he had been taken
prisoner when he came ashore from
a hemp ship. The natives said he had
been a captain of the insurgent army,
and perhaps he had, although he de-
MED it for obvious reasons. At any
rate, he wasn't an officer with them
for patriotism or love, for he turned
American scout and fought them with
a lust for blood amounting to savagery
He was brave, as the bulldog is-be
cause 1t knows no better-which
seemed to be his only trait in common
with the other soldiers of fortune OF
whom we have read.
Later we met him as second mate
on a wind TANNER at Nagasaki. The
sea was home to Chalmers and he only
quit it occasionally to find fight and
a more convenient place to get drunk.
Had Chalmers turned to the land In.
stead of the sea in his earlier years
he would have ended as only a COM
mon tramp. AS 1t was, he is tramp,
but of a more uncommon kind. 1t is
the tramp instinct which makes
soldiers of fortune, although.
perhaps, some of them, more fortu'
nate. do wear immaculate white duck
suits and pith helmets. But the only
one We ever met was not very classy
and he kind of shook our faith in Capt
Macklin.
