Bank Robber Suspect Arrested.

HARLEM, Aug. Ill. A. Hatch,
cashier OF the First National bank of
this place, left at midnight yesterday
for Lewistown upon telegraptic ad.
vices from Sheriff Wood of Fergus
county that he was holding a man sus.
pected of being one of the two bandits
who made their escape after the failure
of the attempt to rob the institution.
According to the wire from the Fer
gus county sheriff, the man being held
there corresponds to the general de.
scription sent out from Harlem after
the affair, and In addition has a gun
shot wound in his left arm. The sus.
pect also refuses to explain how he re
ceived the wound, and this fact tends
to strengthen the belief that he may be
one of the men wanted.
Mr.. Hatch on the day of the robbery
asserted his belief that he had hi
either one of the men, or the horse hi
was riding, and several eye witnesses
expressed the same opinion. The banl
officer says he will have the man hello
if he can identify him in any way
unless he proves an alibi.

New Secretary Of State.

HELENA, Aug. IA. - Thomas M.
Swindlehurst, OF Livingston, was this
afternoon appointed to ill the vacancy
created by the death of the late Abram
N. Yoder a week ago yesterday. Mr..
Swindlehurst, politics aside, is ex-
tremely popular. He is now On a va.
cation to the coast, and is expected in
Helena the latter part Of the week
when he will qualify and the
duties OF the Office.
Mr.. Swindlehurst is engaged in the
real estate and insurance business at
Livingston. He has been prominent

Two terms he served in the Legislature
as q representative from Park county
and in 1908 he received the democratic
nomination for lieutenant governor
being the running mate of Governor
Norris. He was defeated, however
by w. r. Allen, for the office.

and eggs now surpass 10 value the
wheat crop by 80 per cent. According
to the latest crop report winter aud
spring wheat will yield a total of 1922.
$40, 800 bushels, so that even with dol.
los wheat the golden cereal is out
classed by poultry and eggs. Cotton
will fall far short of O billion dollar
crop.
Consequently the little brown hen
has no other competitor in the field
than corn, which no doubt she will
proceed to overtake with persistency
and speed just as she has quietly but
surely overtaken wheat and cotton
and left them behind in the race. The
United States may boast of q corn
crop worth in round figures two bill
lion dollars, but the American hen
seems determined to give the country
something else to boast about. Chan
ticleer with masculine arrogance will
probably claim to himself all the
credit with q louder, more imperious,

But nobody will be deceived.-Phila

CuttinQ the Kaiser's Hair.

A Vienna barber named Durrmanp
had the time of his life when he was
suddenly called to operate on the En-.
peror William during the ~latter's re.
cent stay in the Austrian capital. The
valet who usually cuts the imperial
hair had injured his arm; hence the
substitution. The kaiser talked I'M
in%terruptedly while his hair was being
cut and asked Durrmann about his
former customers. The barber boasted
that he had cut the hair Of Francis
Joseph and King Edward, not to men,
ton minor royalties.
"And which Is easier" asked the
kaiser, cutting the air Of kings or
their subjects?'
with kings it is easier" said the
barber.
"Why is that!" asked the kaiser.
Because on an average they are
older and have less hair to CUT re-
piled the barber.
The kaiser laughed and said: "Come
to me in Berlin in q few years time;
I guess you'll have an easy job them
Durrmann was vastly amused by

Prisoner on His Own Estate.

In Brunswick there is a young man,
the heir to considerable wealth. who
is imprisoned on a little bit of terri
tory and can never leave it till the end
Of his days unless he first sacrifices
his patrimony. His name is Eb2n-
stein. He is a minor, and he inherits
his property from a grandfather who
as H%anoverian fought against the
Prussians in 1866. Old Ebenstein new
err forgave the brutal Prussian and in
his will tied UP his property with the
condition that the tenant for life
should never set foot on Prussian soil.
But as Prussia surrounds Brunswick,
Ebenstein can never get out Of it with
out losing his money. What is worse,
Prussia divides Brunswick into five
isolated parts, all of which 1t sur
rounds, and young Ebenstein lives in
one of the smallest parts and cannot
even visit Brunswick city without
crossing prusslan soil, violating the
will and letting his money go to a
remote undescrving cousin. - London

The Viewers Kiss of Death.

An eight loom weaver in a cotton
mill where the old fashioned "kissing'
shuttles are used takes the kiss of
death" about 100000 times a year,
according to mill n and en-
ployees who favor the bill to abolish
the "kissing" shuttle. \ weaver
threads the shuttle of n loom about
a hundred times a day. An eight
loom weaver would do this 500 times
a day. The "kissing" shuttle is
one Of the oldest mechanical devices
in the textile trade. The weaver
sucks the end of the thread through
the bobbin. His lips come in contact
with n bobbin that has been kissed
by preceding weavers, any n OF
whom may be afflicted with tubercu-
lar trouble; hence the "kiss Of DEATH
as it is called. Self threading shut
| ties have replaced the kissing" ones
in many Massachusetts mills.--New

WeIIinuton Feared For Waterloo,

An unpublished letter Of the Duke
Of Wellington has just been discov-
cred. In this letter to his brother
wellington says, speaking Of the mem
orable day Of Waterloo: Il suppose
you have already had the news of u
desperate affair with Bonaparte. That
battle Of Waterloo was the. worst l
| have ever seen. In all my life | have
not experienced such anxiety, for l
must confess l have before been
so close to defeat" 1t has often been
said that Napoleon's genius never fal-
tered and that his last troops rallied
around him till the end with the valor
they had proved on all battleields,
but we owe a debt of gratitude to the
family Of Wellington for their honor
and loyalty in giving this letter,
which, coming from the great English
general, is the noblest homage ever
rendered to the glory of Napoleon and
his soldiers.-Paris Figaro.

There are two broods Of periodical

appear simultaneously. After so long
an existence under ground they will
have n season of only about five weeks

two broods of cicadas will not appear

THE BILLION DOLLAR HEN.

Hurrah for the American hen. Let
the white. headed eagle proudly spread
his wings as the unchallenged bird of
freedom; let the pompous turkey strut
and gobble with tail outspread as
Thanksgiving approaches; but let the
humble barnyard fowl ascend the
throne as the rightful queen of the
feathered tribes. She 1t is who has
raised the poultry products of the
United States to an annual value of q
billion dollars. This is perhaps the
most astounding item in the account
of our national prosperity at the pres.
ent time.
The little brown hen has been going
about her work quietly for the past ten
years with marvellous results. The
secretary Of agriculture quite astonish.
ed the country in 1900 by asserting
that the annual value of poultry and
eggs was $3.50, 600, 900. Five years late,
It was announced that the industrious
hen and her ally, the incubator, had
increased the poultry products OF the
country to halt a billion dollars
This made her an active competito,
for precedence with the wheat crop.
Three years later the poultry prod
ucts, including eggs, reached the value

has been kept up until the billion dol.

Since its defeat by japan Russia has
not affected the Imagination of the
world with quite the sense of hidden
power that is conveyed before. but
those who study its recent statistics
find that 1t is the same giant still. In
the last thirteen years the population
of the empire has increased by 33.0oo.-

United States has gained in twenty
years. The census of 1909 gives the
