BANDITS SHOOT A lABORER.
Employees Of the Great Northern Held
Up on a Railway Bridge.

Great Falls.-While two employees
Of the Great Northern were crossing
the railroad bridge over the Missouri
river, W. thieves held them up and
when one of the men moved a pace the
fired upon him, breaking his
right leg above the knee and probably
making it necessary to amputate it.
The man shot was a Greek. He was
lett by the bandits lying helpless on
the track. A train crew saw him in
to prevent the engine crushing
him and he was brought here, suffer
ing terribly from his wound and almost
frozen. The officers are securing the
country west OF the river for the men
who did the shooting.

JUDGED By THEIR CLOTHES
Smart Cigar Store Clerk Ready With
Apology That by No Means
Mended Situation.

Herman Fellner tells this story on
himself, according to the New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
star. He vas in Washington on busi-
ness recently and met three or four
friends on the street. After a mo-
ment's chat he beckoned them to
come with him. I'm off the stuff"
said he, but l want to buy you each
a cigar"
They happened to be in front of a
combination cigar and news stand at
the moment. Led by Mr., FeIlner, they
all trooped in. The clerk hurried to
the cigar case to wait upon them. Be-
fore Mr.. Fellner could indicate his
wishes the clerk had slapped a JON
on the glass case. Here y are" said
he. BEST dime smoker in town."
Mr.. Fellner is sort of fussy about
his smokes. He looked at the cigar
then showed the box away. "Have
you no other price?" he asked.
The clerk showed the box in the
case. Sure thing" said he. My mis-
take and your treat"
Having pulled off this time-worn
witticism. he addressed Mr.. Fellner
c~onfldentially. Your clothes sort of
fooled me- said he. "You fellers are
a pretty well-dressed lot, you know"
Then he put another box on the coun-
ter. Here" said he, "is the best
nickel smoker in the village

asked the patron to whom the man
confided this bit Of information.
Not here. SIR" explained the wait
er; but I've been offered a steady
job in Paris at one of the hotels if I
can learn French"
But Paris is full of French wait
ers." said the patron. I'm afraid
you're being deceived"
No, sir" said the man. with much
earnestness and absolute simplicity.
The propositions a straight one. The

ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores ven to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
We consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at ono bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after foul weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head OF hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 1888. West Point, Neb.,
Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed
free on application to "%Cuticura,"

GOATS CLEAR LAND

Fifty Angora goats will be used
this spring and next summer in
clearing brush land in the Farm
ington district, south of Spokane,
owned by r. J. Cox, who will plant
commercial apple orchard on his
holding. The animals came from
the Bert Howell ranch, near Palouse,
Wash. Howell, whose land was
partly covered with pine trees and
underbrush, bought fourteen goats
as an experiment three years ago III
putting the land in condition for
cultivation. Each goat yield e d
from four to five pounds of wool the
season, and this was sold at prices
ranging from IS to 45 cents pound.
The goats cleared IS acres of land,
which was planted to corn, half the
crop being sold last year for 1915.
The rest was fed to go hogs, which
sold at a good figure in local yards.
Goats have been used in other parts
of the country to clear land, but
this is the first time that band of
so has been brought together to 90
at the work in a systematic way.
Sheep are used in some of the irri-
gated districts in central Washing
ington to keep weeds down. Fed
trail government engineers report
success on the Teton project.

BUTTERMAKlNG ON THE FARM

A recent Popular Bulletin of the
State Experiment Station at Pull
man (No. 41) gives the following
advice:
Butter made from a single herd
of COWS in small dairy located on
the farm should command the
highest price of any butter on the
market. Where one man has con-
troll of all the process through which
the milk goes from the time it is
MIXED until the time it is printed
as butter, the product should be
the best obtainable, if this one man
understands the principle and the
art of buttern,aking.
The first essential in making
good butter is good cream. To get
this simply means to take ordinary
precautions regarding clean cows
and barn, clean attendants and
clean utensils; and then cooling

LOTTERY TO DECIDE
TITLE TO 40 FARMS
Unique Feature of Drawing Land Will
Give the Right of Choice to
Fortunate Ones

Details of the proposed Govern
ment land lottery, by which val
liable farms in the Teton irrigation
project in Washington will be dis
posed of to settlers, are given in an
announcement made recently by
the Reclamation Service. The an
nouncement says:
The third unit of the Teton ir-
rigatian project, Washington, will
be opened by a unique form of
drawing. This unit contains about
40 farms upon which homestead
entry may be made. They are
among the finest fruit lands in the
United States and extremely val
liable. Irrigation lands under other
portions of this project are selling
for $500 to 81, 200 an acre, exclus-
i've of the water right.
During December an eager line
Of land seekers anticipating ap-
preaching opening, took up their
position just outside the land Of
flee in North Yakima and refused
to leave, even upon warning of
Government officials that they
would acquire no special privileges
by remaining.
In order that all land seekers
may have an eqnal opportunity to
obtain farms, it has been decided
to allow each homeseeker to signify
which farm unit he desires. Names
OF all who wish to file on unit A
will then be placed in box from
which a disinterested party will
draw one slip.
The winner will then be allow
ed to make his filing and the next
farm unit will be taken up, ETC."
The lottery plan of opening the
Teton lands was decided upon
after it became known that a con-
