Length of Russian Workday.

Consul John H. Grout, Of Odessa,
transmits a decree by the Project of
that Russian city fixing the laboring
day for artisans at a uniform length
of twelve hours. However, out of the
twelve hours the laborers are allowed
two hours for rest and taking meals.
In addition to these two hours youths
under seventeen years of ago must be
allowed three hours daily to attend
school. Overtime work is permitted
only in extreme cases. Artisans OF
the Christian faith are not required
to work on Sundays or feast days.

word, you are an excellent imitation
of a fine lady"
The maid broke out into a few ex'
carnations of admiration, but Enid
did not catch them. She stood but
toning her gloves, while her cousin
made a hasty though marvelously
successful toilet.
You are a good foil to me, Enid"
she said, as she surveyed herself in
the glass.
Indeed, the two girls were a dis.
tinct contrast. Dorothy in palest
blue, radiant, ethereal, lovely; and
Enid in soft black silk and lace, the
outcome of a Partisan modiste, her
Eyes cleaning from under a broad
brimmed hat, her great mass OF red
brown hair, rolled with consummate
negligence and grace by the maid, in
the nape of her soft white neck.

had time to realize that the image re.
fected in the mirror was her own,

tween Dorothy and Miss Cuthbert-
Miss Knebwell's chaperone-before
she knew where she was.
IF Sir Robert asks for Miss Leslie,
tell him I have taken her out" COM
manded Dorothy, as they started.
Enid was never called by any other
name than Leslie-the one her father
had adopted when, years ago, he had
left his home and tempted fortune
with his brush. Sir Robert always
used it contemptuously, as if to vex
the girl, by not giving her any real
title, but she craved no other; to her
it was more beautiful than any in ex-
istence, for her mother had loved 1t.
The carriage bowled away, and
they drove in silence till a gateway
was reached, and Enid knew that they
were bound for the grounds of Blom-
ley Manor, the home Of the Earl Of
Derriman, the first family in the
county.
Dorothy bowed and smiled or eth
er side as she made her almost regal
entrance on the lawn, led by her host,
arr many futtered up to her to chat
and shake her small, dainty hand, or
receive some pretty word.
This is my cousin, Enid Leslie"
she said, as Lord Derriman took them
to some chairs. III want you to be
great friends. Enid and I are insep-
arabic now, you know"
Enid just lifted her eyes to the man
opposite, and she felt a thrill Of
pleasure in his smile, and a sensation
of pain at Dorothy's prevarication.
Why should she tell this falsehood?
IF it rests with me, Miss Leslie
has a friend already" said Lord Der
riman, in hearty tones. "Will you
sit here, or shall we go on to mother?
I think you had better rest here, for
she is down at the bottom Of the
grounds" ,
This will do at present"
Enid sat leaning back quietly; her
cavalier had soon departed; he found
her too shy and nervous, and so she
had nothing to do but to keep close
to her cousin, who was SO deep in a
conversation with Lord .Derriman,
and wait for further instructions.
Miss Cuthbert is having tea,
Enid" Dorothy said, after a pause;
and had any n watched her closely
they would have seen her fingers
move restlessly round the handle Of
the sunshade she held.
docs that mean you would like
some, too?" laughed Lord Derriman.
Dorothy rose at once.
ut does" she said, promptly, and
at that moment the clock struck half
past five. "But I want my cousin to
see your rose garden first, Lord Derri-
man."

To Prevent License Frauds.

HELENA, Jan. 25.-In the hope of pre-.
venting frauds such as form the
basis of the charges against former
Deputy Treasurer johnson of Deer
Lodge county, State Examiner F.. q.
Ray has caused to be introduced a
bill in the legislature requiring
sheriffs to check up saloon licenses
every January and July. Under the
provisions OF the bill, the sheriff
would examine all the saloon licenses
in his county and make a report Of
them to the county commissioners and
to the state examiner.
The latter would then check them up
ahead of those In daily use in the
t~reasurer's office thus stopping frauds
such as causes considerable loss 10
taxpayers of Deer Lodge county. In
that county, johnson, q deputy in
the t~reasurer's Office is charged with
having secured licenses numbered a

in the treasurers's Office and issued
them to saloonkeepers, keeping the
money and making no record of the

At last the time came to begin the
match. Comstock and l dashed into a
herd, followed by the referees. The
buffaloes separated. Comstock took
the left bunch and l the right. MY
great forte in killing buffaloes from
horseback was to get them circling by
riding my horse at the head Of the
herd, shooting the leaders, thus crowd
ing their followers to the left till they
would finally circle round and round.
On this morning the bu6aloes were
very accommodating, and I noon had
them running in a beautiful circle,
when I dropped them thick and fast
until I had killed thirty-eight, which
finished my run.
Comstock began shooting at the real

and they kept straight on. He sue

three, but they were scattered over a
distance of three miles, while mine lay
close together. I had nursed my buf-

WILL NOT CLOSE SHELTER.
Decision In Famous "Smoke Case"
Is Against The Farmers.


HELENA, Jan. 25.-The Injunction
asked for by the Farmers association
OF the Deer Lodge valley in the famous
smoke case against the Anaconda
smelter is denied.
Judge William b. Hunt of the I'm.
tied States court has appointed Feb
ruary ID as q day to assemble the
testimony Of experts as to ways and
means that may be taken as by ap-
proved inventions and new contriv.
ances to minimize the spread of
arsenic In the fumes from the smelter.
This testimony cannot affect his de.
cision.
Following is an epitome and gist of
Judge Hunts decision, which is very
voluminous and will be issued later
In book form:
The history of the construction of
the smelter is given. The court re.
views the facts at length, reaching the
conclusion that there has been an
abnormal condition of animal life in
Deer Lodge valley since the Washoe
smelter has been in operation in 1908;
that 1t has manifested itself in horses
and cattle to some extent, but that it
has not been generally fatal, and
that the death rate of cattle and horses
In the valley has not been below
normal since 1905.
1t Is concluded that there has been
no substantial damages to the crops
on account of the sulphur in the smoke,
but that arsenic is deposited at times
upon the folders, on pastures adjacent
to the smelter, and when eaten by
stock is poisonous. 1t is found that
before 1903 there was a great deal of
injury done, but since then, after the
new stack was built, conditions are
much better, and that there was i'm.
provement in 1906 over 1905.
1t is found that Bliss, the com.
plainant's damage was s450 per annum
in decreased rental value of his land
but that by complainant's neglect Of
his " premises, of this amount of
injury, his own neglect caused more
than fumes from the smelter, and that
dairymen were always ready to rent If
Bliss would enter into 9 lease for
dairy purposes.
The court holds that Bliss refused
to consider an offer of purchase from
defendants because he surrendered the
control of his land to the farmers and
that for past damages there is a com.
plete remedy at law, where defend ants
could lsecure the right of trial by
jury.

The Seat on the Horse.

Why does a man seated near the
neck Of n horse travel faster than one
seated near his tail? For it has been
proved in very striking fashion that
he does. But why? The reason is
really very simple, and yet when little
Tod Sloane, the jockey, came forward
with practical proof nobody seemed to
be able to explain it. A horse to move
forward at all must thrust at the earth,
and the chief force of this forward
thrust IN from his hind legs. If
the chief weight is just over or close
to the thrusting power, naturally it dt.
minishes its efficiency; instead of
thrusting the horse forward a portion
Of 1t is wasted In lifting the weight of
the Jockey at every stride. - Strand

set out a lot Of champagne which they
had brought with them and which
proved a good drink on a Kansas
prairie, and a buffalo hunter was a
good man to get away with it.
While taking a short rest we sud-
denly spied another herd of buffaloes
coming toward US. It was only a
small drove, and we at once pre-
pared to give the animals a lively re-
ception. They proved to be a herd of
cows and calves, which, by the way,
are quicker in their movements than
the bulls. We charged in among
them, and l concluded my run with 4
score Of eighteen, while Comstock
killed fourteen. The score was now
ffty-six to thirty-seven in my favor.
Again the excursion party approach
ed, and once more the champagne was
tapped. After we had eaten a lunch
which was spread for US we resumed
the hunt. Striking out for a distance
Of three miles, we came up close to
another herd. As l was SO far ahead
Of my competitor in the number killed,
l thought l could afford to give an ex-
ira exhibition of my skill. l had told
the ladies that I would OF the next run
ride my horse without any saddle or
bride. This had raised the excite
ment to fever heat among the excur-
siOnists, and I remember one fair lady
who endeavored to prevail upon me
not to do it.
That's nothing at all,'' said l. II
have done It many a time, and old
Brigham knows as well as l what l am
doing and sometimes a great deal bet
ter
So leaving my saddle and bride with
the wagons we rode to the windward
Of the buffaloes, as usual, and when
within a few hundred yards Of them
We dashed into the herd. l soon had
thirteen laid out on the ground, the
last one of which l had driven down
close to the wagons, where the ladies
were. 1t frightened some of the tender
creatures to see a buffalo coming
at full speed directly toward them,
but when he had got within fifty yards
Of one Of the wagons I had shot him
dead In his tracks. This made my
sixty-ninth buffalo and finished my
third and last run, Comstock having
killed forty-six.
As 1t was now late In the afternoon,
Comstock and his hackers gave up the
idea that he could beat me, and there,
upon the referees declared me the win,

ing horses was a small roam
~ or large Indian pony which I
got from a Ute Indian. As
this horse came from Utah, I named
him Brigham, after the prophet. Dur
ing the construction Of the Kansas Pa
cifc railroad, now the Union Pacific, in
1867 the construction Of the end Of the
track got into the great buffalo coun-
try, and at that time the Indians-thc
Sioux, Cheyennes, Comanches and Arap-
ahoes-were all on the warpath. It
was before the refrigerator car was in
use, eand the contractors had no fresh
meat to feed their employees. The
men were grumbling considerably for
fresh meat, for they could see fresh
meat-that Is, the buffalo, deer and an
telope-in every direction, and they
would growl because the contractors
did not kill the bu6aloes SO that they
could have fresh meat to eat. This
vas a little more difficult job than
they thought, as the Indians were con-
testing every mile Of railroad that was
being built into their country. Besides
having military escorts to guard the
graders, every man from the boss
down who went to work on the grad
ing Of the road carried a rife with him
as we'll as a pick and shovel, and when
he was using them his gun lay on the
ground near him, as the Indians would
daily attack them.
The construction Of that road in
1867 was nearly a continuous fight,
and it was dangerous for a man to
venture any distance away from the
troops and the graders to hunt the
buffalo. They tried several hunters
who claimed that they could kill buff
falo and bring it into camp so that
they could have fresh meat for their
men. One or two Of these men were
killed by Indians while doing so, and
b others gave up the Job.
At that time l was guide and scout
at Fort Hays, Kan, and had quite a
reputation as a buffalo hunter. Some
gould get me l would be able to kill all
the buffaloes he would require. He
came to Fort Hays to see me. OF
course l could not accept, although he
made me a very tempting financial
offer, without permission Of the mill
tary department commander, General
Sheridan.
The subject was even discussed at
headquarters in Washington, and after
considerable delay evidence was pre-
sented that it would solve one of the
main labor problems in the great work
Of constructing the great transconti-
mental railroad and facilitate matters
greatly. Leave Of absence for the
purpose was given me with the un-
Outstanding that in case of an impor-
tant outbreak l should resume the du-
ties Of my position. AS rowing In
dams generally followed the herds Of
buffaloes, l was really in a certain
sense performing scouting duty also.
l started in killing buffaloes for the
Union Pacific railroad. l had a wag-
on with four mules, one driver and
two butchers, all brave. we'll armed
men, myself riding my horse Brigham.
We would leave the end of the on.
