A Dickens Manuscript.

H. F. Dickens. X. c., tells an inter-
esting story concerning the original
manuscript Of his fathers famous
Carol" The novelist presented the
MS. to Thomas Milton, an old school
fellow. In 1876 Mr.. Milton sold it to
Francis Harvey, a bookseller, for ESQ.
Then 1t passed into the hands of
George Churchill, an enthusiastic au-
tograph collector. MI. Churchill treas
ured it until 1882, when circumstances
compelled him to part with it. After
photographing every page of it, it was
sold to Mr.. Bennett, a Birmingham
bookseller and curio dealer, who
eventually found a purchaser, who
readily signed a check for 1900 for it.
Finally it was bought by Stuart NJ.

Lands Restored To Entry.

HELENA, April 21.-An order for
the restoration of all those lands ex-
tending for two miles back on each
side of the Missouri river which were
withdrawn January Is for the conser-
walton of water resources, was re-
ceived this morning by the officials of
the Helena land Office. A few days
ago the order restoring lands along
the Jefferson, Madison and Galla,in
rivers w%hich.were Withdrawn for the
same purpose, was received.
1t is understood tina, these restora-
ton orders are only the first of many
which will be received from time to
time. Many million acres of lands
now included within national forests
are TO be restored to entry, according
to Washington advices. When these
RESERVATIONS are made the total area OF
national forests will be reduced at
least a third.

The French foreign legion is a het-
erogeneous organization. It is COM
posed Of disappointed men Of every

fugitives. In fact, all varieties of the
worlds restless citizens go to make
up this wonderful mongrel fighting
machine. mo questions asked" might
well be the regimental motto. Each
man signing his bond Of service sells
his soul for five years at the wage of
1 sou about 1 cent? per day.
The officers are French, but the men
hail from everywhere and nowhere.
Under various names the French lc-
gion has existed since the eighteenth
century and was finally constituted as
at present in 1880. 1t consists Of twelve
battalions divided into two regiments,
mastering a total strength Of 10000
men. Eight thousand are kept in the
far east, the remainder serving in
northern Africa. In the early days
the regiments were divided into ina
tional sections" men from the same
country being kept together.
This resulted, however, in continual
racial disputes. and each company con-
sequently was given a cosmopolitan
composition. Since it's formation the
officials have guarded closely against

Hill Complies With State Law.

HELENA, April 22.-While the dis
patches from Kalispell and Chicago

northwest would seem to indicate tina
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget

Coram, Flathead county, to the inter-

with the state law in the premises.

Montana soil and climate, are ad-
vised by Prof. W. j. Elliott, of the
Bozeman college, that q free course
of study will be given at that institu-
ton next fall, and they are invited to
take adv vantage of it. Prof. Elliott's
announcement says in part:
Never before has the Montana Ag-
riculsural college been SO flooded with
letters asking for informant ON all
phases of agriculture; and never be.
fore has there been such a demand
for young men who ar trained along
agricultural. lines, and who are COM
petent to handle large agricultural
enterprises.
Montana's agriculture is compare.
lively new. To ASCERTAIN extent u man
must learn how to handle land either
above orsbelow the ditch. During the
next few years Montana will develop
agriculture ally as:she has done
before. There is coming TO be an
enormous demand for this land which
we might say is thellast cheap land on
the continent. Already inithe eastern
part of5the state q regular scramble
for land is beginning, and in the west.
ern part of the state the fruit3lands of
the BitterlRoot and the Flathead are
attracting: attention the world over.
Land values are increasing by leaps
and bounds.
This year every department of the
Agricultural college has been flooded
with inquiries asking for young men
who are capable of handling various
agricultural projects. All of the
young men who r capable have been
spoken for long ago, and If the COL
lege had had fifty more young men
who were ready they could have found
splendid positions in almost any sec.
ton of the state.
The agricultural college at Bozeman
is Offering q short purse in agricul-
lure to cover the six winter months.
BY this arrangement theEyoung men
can have all the busy summer months
to worklupon their own ranches, or to
work forsothere, and thus may be able
to save3Iup q sufficient amount Of
money to! put them through college
for the entire winter. Young men all
the way from IA to Is and 30 years Of
age are taking advantage Of this
course.
The courselwill begin about the 10th
of next October, and already a great
mum Der of young men in the state have
registered for it. On account of lack
of room it will be almost impossible
to register more than q hundred stud.
ents forlthis course. and so the fret
hundred who apply will be accepted.
The above course is a distinct one
in itself and must not be confused with
the regular college course in agricul.
ture As given at the Agricultural col.
lege. Graduate students from the
high school enter as freshmen for the
college course, and, just to give you
an idea of the great demand for thor
oughly equipped and trained young
men from the college course, we might
say that every graduate in agriculture
this year was spoken for before Christ.

Maine, had considerable trouble from lame
and aching back. l was bothered in this way
off and on for year and half, some of the at
tacks being SO severe that was compelled to
lay off from work for day or so. I read so
much about people being cured of troubles of
this nature by Doan's Kidney Pills that final
ly resolved to try them and procured a box at
the City Drug Store. They acted like magic
and cured me in hurry. l had no return of
the complaint until last fall, when over-exer-
ton served to bring on slight backache.
