in later years the punishment inflicted
has been much less severe, as the present

dispensed with the birch and substituted
an ordinary rattan cane.

NEW REGISTRATION PLAN.

II the Survant registration bill, in-
PRODUCED in the state sen ate by the
mem Der from Valley county, receives
favorable ire atment by the twelfth as
sembly, some of the defects in the pre-
sent law will be removed. The bill
has been passed by the senate, and Is
regarded as one of the important
measures yet to be considered by the
house.
The measure provides that durir 8
the interim between elections q voter,
If he so desires, may 20 to one OF
three places and record his name upon
the poll-lists of the district. He may
either register with q justice of the
peace, the county clerk and recorder
or any notary public. These officials
are required to keep q record OF such
registration and make a return to the
proper election official, the registry
agent during the period during which
the ordinary registr alton is taken.
An estimate was made by a number
of men bers of the senate, who were
discussing the effect of the Survan
bill and 1t vas agreed that it woult
increase the total vote in the stat
anywhere from 10 to 20 per cent.
A large number of people who ar
unable to get around and visit tn
registration offices, especially in tn
rural districts of the state, lose thei
votes. BY permitting electors, espe
cially farmers and %ranchers, to recor
their names with officials with whor
they have business, the vote in all tn
outlying districts will be largely ir
creaaed.

A Lottery Romance.

A few years ago, as the date for the
drawing Of the annual Christmas lot
terry at Madrid was approaching, a poor
mechanic of Corunna was awakened
three consecutive nights by the num-
Der 125,S69, apparently spoken in his
ear. So impressed was he by the repe-
tition of the incident that he wrote
down the number and jocularly said
to his wife, THAT number will win
the first prize in the great lottery
'"Then why don't you buy the ticket?
his wife answered jokingly as she
looked at the figures. why, see, II
you add them together they just come
to my age. l shall be thirty-one or

trouble. was found ut had been reject
ed a few minutes earlier by a wealthy

HIS GREAT IDEA.
The Tin Plated Tomato and the Moral
That Goes With 1t.

The Tin Plated Tomato and the Moral
That Goes With 1t.
A good theory that won't work isn't
half as good as a poor one that will.
Twenty years ago a young man just
out of college had a great idea. He
was going to tin plate tomatoes. There
was to be no more troublesome pairing
and cooking and canning to preserve
tomatoes throughout winters. 1t would
be necessary only to drop a nice ripe
tomato into his timing solution and 1T
would come out coated with tin and
would keep for twenty years. In fact,
there wasn't any reason why it should
not keep forever! The young inventor
figured it would cost him so cents a
gallon to make this timing solution.
Every one eats tomatoes-that is, near
ly every one Everybody would eat
them if they could always have a nice
tin plated tomato lying around. He
ought to sell a million gallons a year.
That would be a profit of a million and
a half dol Well, no tin plated toma'
toes are on the market yet. and the
man who invented them is still making
only $l5 a week.
The moral Of this is that whenever
you hear of a great idea that is going
to reform or uplift the world make
sure that it is not Of the tin PLATED
tomato brand.-Chicago Tribune.

forceful language the story of the fertile
west.
As a proof that the apple industry is
a great source of revenue in the western
country, the fruit growers have sent gor'
geous glowing fruits to the exhibition.
Piles and crates of apples, such as one
seldom sees, grace the tables and
tiers at the exhibition.
Vegetables, too, of great size, are dis
played.
Beautiful flowers, cunningly preserved,
add to the beauty of the display.

Hill, who is President of the Great North
ern Railway, and son of James j. Hill,
backed up his advice by making it pos
sible for everybody to go west.
That the people of Columbus and vicin-
ity may become better acquainted with
the wonderful western country, a free
exhibition of the grains and fruits of
Montana, Oregon and Washington has
been opened at Al North High street by
the Great Northern Railway.
The exhibition is well worth the visit.
Great sheaves of golden wheat, oats and
other grains adorn the walls in artistic
array. Big crystal jars display the
fruits of the far west. Literature de-
scriptive of the wonderful opportunities
awaiting the homeseeker are distributed,
and all inquiries made by visitors are
cheerfully answered by those in charge.

ARTISTS EMBLEMS.
In WhistIer's Butterfly Could Be Found
the Monogram J.. W.

the Monogram J. w.
The mystic emblem or device of a
sort of Whistlerized butterfly was
adopted in the sixties by the eccentric
genius James Abbott Whistler, who
changed his name later to James Nc
Neil Whistler. y
Close study will reveal that this Pc
culiar scroll is really a monogram of
]. w. The earliest Of the etchings to
bear the butterfly is Chelsea Wharf,
(1s63), but many paintings and etch-
ings after that date are signed "Whis-
tier"
Artists have sometimes signed their
pictures in some distinct form instead
of their names. 1t generally was done
when the name might suggest some
emblem or symbol.
Thus Hieronymus Cock demarked
two fighting cocks on his panels; Mari
otto Albertinelli signed a cross with
two interlaced rings, referring to the
sacerdotal duties to which at one time
Of his life he devoted himself; Martin
Rota, a wheel; PETER de Ryng, a ring
| with a diamond: Giovanni Dossi, a
bone; Del Mazo Martinez. a hammer
Lionello Spada, a sword.
Sometimes caprice dictated the selec
ton, as when Jacopo de Barberi USED

de Bles an owl. Lucas Cranach

brechtsen a peculiar device resembling
a weather vane and Hans Holbein

CENSUS CAUSES DISGUST.

In almost every city and town In
Montana for which the census returns
have been announced, there is disap-
pointment. In q few places where the
official figures are in conflict with re-
suits obtained by usually accurate
aud truthful methods of counting
noses, there is general disgust. This
is true OF Great Falls. In other places,
of which Billings may properly be
taken as the best example, the BOOM
ers find q small measure of comfort In
exploiting their great gains above the
figures Of ten years ago, notwithstand'
ing that the totals fall far short OF
public expectations.
While the census was hurriedly TAX

way, by men not particularly we'll

absurd to assume that conditions and
