Drawina differences.

President Lincoln once told the fol- lowing story to D. H. Bates, manager of the war department telegraph office:
 '1'm like an old coIored man knew. He spent so much of his time preach ing to the other slaves it kept him and them from their Iabors. His master told him he would punish him the next time he was caught preaching.
 "But, marsa,' said the old man, with tears in his eyes, I always has to draw influences from Bible texts when dey comes in ma haid. I jes' cain't help it. Can you, marsa?
 "'Well,' said his master, I suspect I do sometimes draw inferences. But there is one text I never could under stand, and if you can draw the right inference from it I'll let you preach to your hearts content
 "'What is de text, marsa? asked the colored man.
 "'"The ass snuffeth up the east wind" Now, what inference do you draw from that:'
 "'Well, marsa, Is neber heard dat text befo' nohow, but I 'spects de in- fruence am she got to snuff a long time befo' she get fat "-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.

One of pr. fiaIe's Jokes.

When he was quite a young man the late pr. Edward Everett Hale played practical joke on some girls who were members of aparty with whom he was summering on the Massac husetts coast.
 All these girls were reading the same exciting novel, and one day at dinner it was leading topic. Knowing that none of them had finished it, Hale, un- known to them, carried it away with him the next morning when he went to the city. On the train he wrote an absurd conclusion to the novel, laying the final scene at the summer resort.
 Carrying this bogus conclusion to publisher, friend of his, he had it put in type, and then, carefully remov ing the bona fide conclusion, he pasted in his own. On his return he placed the book on the piazza and waited. The look which spread oveE girls face as she read that last chapter was, Dr. Hale declared, worth going far to see.-Woman's Home Companion.

An Idol With Diamond Eyes.

It is a curious fact and one scarcely known outside of Russia. and there hardly ever mentioned, that the fa- nous Orloff diamond was once the right eye of the great idol Serringham in the temple of Brahma. This pre- cious gem was stolen at about the be- ginning of the eighteenth century by French soldier who had made a pre- tense of being converted to the Hindoo religion in orGer to gain the confidence of the priests and admission to the temple. The F'renchman first sold the diamond for E2,OOO. On the next turn it was bought by a banker of Con stantinople for f12,000. The banker kept it until 1714 and then sold it to the Russian empress for f90,000 and a life pension. The gem has been in the Russ;on royal family ever since. As it is now set in the imperial scepter of Russia it presents flattened, rose cut surface and weighs exactly 1941b caratS.

Trapping a Tiger.

The tiger is possessed at times of an almost supernatural cunning, a won derful sense of smell and a fine in- stinct with regard to traps and the like, which make him as difficult an animal to take alive as any existing Sometimes he can be shared, but not often. On one occasion the writer's native Indian servant ran in in great state of excitement to say tiger was trapped in the jungle half a mile away, and the entire camp, of course, at once flocked over to see the prisoner. The trap was exactly on the principle of a humble mouse trap, with falling door, and built of strong timbers laced together with rattans. The imprisoned tiger was full grown mate, and it would be difficult to imagine anything wilder than his rage as he roared and stormed and hurled himself in futile fury on each part of the structure in turn There he was te stay until hunger had rendered him manageable, the incident showing that the tiger can be trapped, although not Often.-London Globe.

 ON EMPEROR JOSEF
fSpecial from United Press.

Dresden, May 2.-Colonel Roosevelt refused to permit his love for Repub- lican government to be used as a cover for an anti-Monarchist attack on Elm peror Franz Josef of Austria, accord ing to a story in the Daily Record to- day.
 The Record says that during one of the functions in Roosevelt's honor in Budapest recently an address was read to him by prominent Hungarian anti MonarchiSt in which the writer out lined a book that he was soon to pub fish.

KING EDWARD GIVES
 BALF0UR ICY STARE
Especial from United Press.

London, May 2.-The English poli- ticsl situation has been further com plicated according to the Renyolds Newspaper, Liberal paper, by a new Iy developed coldness between the King and Arthur Balfour. Balfour' S Anglo-German war talk and his prom inent part in stirring up the Lords against the Liberals are given as req sons for the strained relations between him and the King. As Balfour has been counted on to form a cabinet in event of Asquith's resignation, the breach between the King and Balfour may force the King to recede to As quith's demands regarding the swamp ing of the House of Lords with Lib eral peers in larger measure than he had intended.
 The recent public note from Lord Knoliss, the Kings secretary which disproved of his name being mentioned for political purposes, was aimed at Balfour, Reynolds Newspaper declares.

The EIyino Dutchman,

The Flying Dutchman was a ship which was sometimes visible from va rious points of land, but more partic- ularly from the Cape of Good Hope in very stormy weather. The story runs that her captain once swore so fearful an oath that as a punishment for his blasphemy he was condemned to beat about the oceans until the day of judgment. The Flying Dutchman was never known to get into port and was generally seen sailing under full canvas before a strong wind. The myth is generally understood to have had it's origin in the waterspout, which in the distance resembles a sailing vessel

GREAT NORTHERN
OFFERS SILVER CUPS

The secretary of the Flathead
Fair has received letter from Mr..
l.. w. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railway company and
from Mr.. f. G. Leedy, general i'm
migration agent, to the effect that
the company will offer two silver
cups at the fair and asks for sug-
gestions as to the manner of offer
ing them.
The secretary has answered the
letters suggesting that one cup be
offered as a premium for the best
display of grains, grasses, vegeta-
bles and roots entered by a chamber
OF commerce, commercial club, or
similar society of not less than
twelve members and not organized
for profit, and that the other cup
be offered for the best display of
fruit offered in similar manner.
This method will permit the
chambers of commerce at Poison,
Rollins, Big Fork, Columbia Falls,
Whitefiish, Libby and Eureka to
compete and all the different farm
er forums throughout the valley. It
is probable that another condition
will be that the Kalispell chamber
of commerce will be barred from
competition.
Such a cup should cause very
keen rivalry between the different
districts in the county and it is sin
cerely hoped that space for these
exhibits will be at premium.
The different organizations are
requested to ask for space at the
very earliest possible moment. All
individual sheaves of wheat, oats,
etc., which go to make up these
community exhibits can also be en-
tered for the individual prizes by
the owners in the locality in the
regular and special prize list, as
printed in the premium books.
In addition to the cups the Great
Northern railway will also offer a
number of ribbons in other classes.
A rate of one and one-third fare
for the round trip mas been granted
from all points on the Great North
ern in Montana, north of Great
Falls and west of Havre and the ex-
hibits will be handled free of charge.
