the artist, "how much will zee paint
my farm with me standin' at t. door

"Oh, five guineas,' said the artist.
"Done," replied the farmer; "'coom

In due course the painting was fin

forgot to paint the worthy farmer on
the picture Of his farm.
"Yes, l like it, said the farmer;
"but where's me, lad-where's me?''

across the artists mind, but he tried
to pass it off with q joke. "Oh," he

Estimate of Wool CIip,

BOSTON, March ia forecast by
the Boston News Bureau, a leading
authority in financial matters and the
wool trade, gave the United States
clip of wool this year as about 275,.
600, 600 pounds, or Is, 900, 900 pounds
less than the normal clip.
1t states that the clip this year will
be of good average quality, but on
account of the hard winter a year ago,
drouth and the marketing of sheep
during high meat prices last year, the
clip has been reduced.
Owing to the decline of prices the
past year the grower will probably
receive at least 10 per cent less than a
year ago. There is very little con.
tracing for the e clip. Some g..
600, 600 pounds taken by a St. Louis
house would probably represent the
total.
Boston dealers have contr acted fol
little or none. This is a striking con
trast to 1909, when, on q rising WOO
market, Boston, New York and St
Louis dealers contr acted for fully 81
per cent Of the clip prior to April l.

Two things about the extra session

the date of the opening has been

GOVERNOR AMENDS BILL.
Mysterious Defect In Measure Re.

Mysterious Defect In Measure Re.
'ating To Insane Asylum.
HELENA, March 13.-Despite the
fact that In some strange and myster.
ious fashion senate bill las, providing
for the appraisal of property at the
Warm Springs asylum, reached Gov.
ernor Norris with all the amendments
out, and the bill in it's original shape,
the property will be appraised by q
commission OF 10 members, az the
amendments provided, instead of by
q commission of seven, as the original
bill provided.
This was effected by Governor
Norris refusing to sign the bill until
Mitchell and Mussigbrod had signed
an agreement to accept the terms OF
the amendments.
That these amendments should have
been left out seems odd. ut was an
error, due no doubt" charitably OBJ

session." But the passage of the bill
was watched hawklike by persons from
Warm Springs, who we're interested
IN its enactment. So closely observed
was the measure that when 1t was
brought down to the governors Office,
one of these persons accompanied the
clerk to see that it landed safely.
Along with the bill Governor Nor
ris transmitted to Secretary of State
Yoder the agreement entered into to
cure the bills defects. He also ap.
pointed the three commissioners the
bill authorized him to appoint. They
are R. s. Ford of Great Falls, A. M.

That Reciprocity Lemon.
Daily Muscular

Oblly MleeOQll6u
Let no Montana farmer be deceived
by the Jim Hill talk that the farmer
will be benefited by the adoption of
the proposed Canadian reciprocity.
Let no Montana republican be misled
by the statement that Mckinley and
Blaine were favorable to that kind OF
reciprocity. Mckinley and Blaine
were for reciprocity; the last public
utterance OF the martyred president
was in support of the broad doctrine
of reciprocity. But that has nothing
to do with the case which is now under
consideration. The present instance
Is no reciprocity at all. 1t is a lop-
sided agreement; 1t places all the
farmer sells upon the free list; it re.
tains practically everything he buys
upon the tariff sheet.
II we are going to have reciprocity,
let it be reciprocity; let it affect the
manufacturer as it does the farmer; II
the latter ia to sell his wheat for less.
let him buy his -four for less, let hin
buy his clothes for less; if he is going
to be on the free list when he sells,

Then we shall have real reciprocity

session is the disturbance which 1t
will cause In the business world. The
heads of the great industries will be
unwilling to make contracts for any
considerable time In the future. En-.
terprise will halt. Nobody can, with
any kind of confidence, foretell what
Legislation will be enacted, or attempt.
ed, in the special session. Theoreti.
cally the session is called to pass the
Canadian reciprocity bill. Actually,
the president can not set up any limit
to the work which the session may do,
or try to do. The threat has been
made by the chiefs of the party which
will be in control in the house to
make q general revision OF the tariff,
and the country Is uncertain as to
just how far they may be able to in.
duce the president to aid them, or
permit them, to carry out this threat.
Nevertheless the country should not
allow itself to be cast down by this
menace. We have recently gathered
the largest crops in the country's bis
tory, and there is an incentive to pre-.
pare for q large acreage of all the
great staple products for the coming
season. Industry is on q solid basis.
Our financial system, thanks to the
safeguards recently adopted, ia fairly
we'll b%uttressed to stand any strain
which may present itself. The gov.
ernment's finances are gradually get
ting into better shape than in recent
years. When the accounts are made
up on June 30, it will undoubtedly be
found that the treasury shortage will
be much smaller than it was at the
close of all the recent fiscal years.
On the whole the business outlook is
more encouraging than it was at this
date at any time since 1909.-Globe.

ON THE MEXICAN BORDER.

History may not be repeating itself
by the movement of American troops
to the Mexican border, but the politi'
cal atmosphere tingles with electric
possibilities recalling the Cuban rev.
olution and the Spanish.Americau
war, says the Spokesm Review.
This is the third time that the Unit.
ed States has interviewed in Mexican
affairs. The first occasion was when
the Texan republic and the southern
]slsvepower brought about the war OF
1648. The second occurred when the
United States ordered Napoleon III.
to quit Mexico, and saved the southern
republic from European aggression.
This time action is again taken IS q
friendly power to hold up the hands
of law and order and to remove the
slightest excuse for interference by
any European power with the Monroe
doctrine.
So long az this doctrine remains in
the foreign policy of the United States,
it imposes on this country the moral
oblig alton of preventing its territories
from being used 90 q base for insur-
rections or rebellions against the es.
tablished government OF any other
nation on the American continent.
The course that the United States are
pursuing toward Mexico is substan.
TALLY the same az their course in Cen.
trail America and Cuba when revolu.
ton has been attempted there and has
used this country as q base for hos.
tile operations.
The action of the American govern.
ment Is good for Mexico, good for
our army and good for the United
States.
1t tends to strengthen the forces In
Mexico that make for peace. prosper
ity and, in the long run, for really re-
publican government.
1t gives the American army much
needed practice in playing the mill
tary game and becoming prepared for
the possibility Of acting to preserve
peace and guard foreign interests in
Mexico.
1t assures the United States that
their army is an effective force,

A BLOOD TAX.
Payment by a French Town to Spain
For an Ancient Crime.

Payment by a French Town to Spain
For an Ancient Crime.
Seven hundred years ago some shep-
herds of the valley of Roncal, in Ma
varre. were murdered by shepherds Of
the valley of Bareton, in Bearn, the
crime taking place on the high pasture
lands of Arlas. in the Pyrenees. It
would have been difficult to bring the
murderers individually to justice, and
the Spaniards were preparing to make
wal upon the valley from which the
French murderers had come when the
French villages proposed that peace be
maintained at the price Of a yearly tax
or tribute, to endure for all time, and
this proposition was accepted.
The payment Of this blood tax-origi-
nally three white mares, but later three
cows of a particular breed and color
has been made ever since, the custom
lit is nothing more, having survived
even the great wars in which both
France and Spain have engaged and
the storm of the French revolution.
Yearly the representative men of the
two valleys meet on the frontier at a
certain stone remote from any town
and go through the ceremony of pre-
senting and receiving the cattle. The
order of procedure, which is elaborate
and impressive, Is fixed by a document
bearing the date 1875. though the tax
was paid a hundred years prior to that
time. The records of each yearly meet
ing and payment are duly attested and
deposited in the archives of the Ron
calais.-New York Tribune.

ST. PATRICK'S BIRTHDAY.

Both the birth and death OF ST..
Patrick are involved in 80 much un-
certainty that, as Is the case with so
many heroes, the anniversary Of either
event must be fixed principally by
conjecture. Some authorities give q
latitude Of ten years from 81 as the
probable time when he was born, and
opinions as o his death place the time
anywhere from the year ago 10 495,
thus giving him an age Of from seven.
ty.eight TO much beyond a hundred
years. If an authentic date cannot be
fixed upon there may be some authori-
ty for the characteristicall Irish as
sertion of James Whitcomb Riley,
that
1t was upon St. Patrick's day,
In the middle Of July,
The weather 1t was cold and wet,
But the day was hot and dry.

tended that his birthda vas on the
