says, chat any employer and his en-

Harlem was in the state of war
for a few hours one day recently. 1t
was reported, and generally believed
that Austrian and Bulgarian railroad
laborers, in camp in force at Mata-
dore, had armed themselves, run up
the German and Austrian flags and
proposed to raise internal trouble.
1t seems that the railroad laborers
had been employed at Wagner, and
were being moved in their cars to
Havre. They had been sent out one
night when the train crew tied up
on account of the 16-hour law. The
trainmen had some trouble with them
and reported their attitude to the au-
thorities.
Chiefs of police and sheriffs were
notified at various towns along the
high line fthe impending trouble.
Sheriffs arranged for posses of
fighting men, and the Zortman con-
tingent of gun fighters was heavily
drawn upon. The officers planned
to concentrate their forces in Harlem,
rush the work train of belligerents
into the Harlem yards, surround it
and capture them before they could
do any harm.
Scouts Sent Out.
Finally the officers decided to
send an automobile load of nervy
men out to reconnoitre. They drove
into the camp at Matadore, and found
the flags of Greece and Uncle Sam
waving peacefully side by side, and
100 loyal Greeks in camp, who had
been celebrating some national holt
day, and had raised their flag along
side of the stars and stripes on the
strength OF the fact that their coun-
try is now an ally of the United
States. The officers showed their
guns little deeper into their pock-
cts and rode back to Harlem in dis
gust, Arriving at Harlem the armed
defenders of the place We're dis
banded
Before arriving at the Greek camp
the officers encountered a Greek,
armed with a shot gun, who was
hunting ducks. He was placed in
detention as possible belligerent.
About the same time the game war
den came along, and before he could
be released, arrested him for hunting
without a license. The officers OF
the expeditionary force felt so badly
about the arrest, that they "chipped
in and paid his fine, and the north
country war was over.

HELENA SALOON KEEPER
MADE TO KISS THE FLAG

"Buttermilk" John Pitt, propri-
etor of a Helena saloon, twice kissed
the flag of the United States one day
recently. He did it once in his saloon
and once in the mud in the middle of
the street The act was committed in
the presence of rs employees of the
Northern Pacific railroad, some of
them high officials about the yards,
and other Helena citizens.
Pittz kissed the flag and at the
same time retracted derogatory re-
marks made to Mr. Thomas, civil
war veteran, reflecting on the integri-
ty of the United States army, and the
men of whom it is composed, because
Thomas said that his son had gone to
the colOrs.
The case was investigated by Po-
liceman Morgan who could not find
Pitt, as he had closed his saloon inn
after the incident and f.as
left the vicinity.

Colonel Sam Gordon of Miles City
has written of the organized slaugh-
ter of the buffalo in eastern Montana.
For several seasons the buffalo were
killed for their robes, the hunters re-
ceiving about 50 per head for each
killing and the tanned robe bringing
from $40 to SIS in the eastern mar
kets. Col Gordon's estimate is that
systematized killing was responsible
for the slaughter of 100000 head Of
buffalo during the winter Of 1891
alone.
'"rhe Indians hunted the buffalo"
writes Col. Gordon, land so did those
whites who shot and killed for the
chase, but the cowardly and inhuman
work that eXterminated the monarch
of the prairies was in no sense hunt
ing.
"The secret of tanning and dress
ing the buffalo hide has never been
acquired by the white man, but the
belief that it had been discovered is
responsible for a great slaughter of
the buffalo that eliminated about
this time. A concern somewhere in
Michigan had experimental in this
line and had succeeded in producing
a robe that was fairly pliable. Buff

SPEEDING UP DEVELOPMENT

The wisconsin Advancement assO-
ciation's land clearing campaign has
taken a surprising grip upon the peo-
pie of upper Wisconsin. Hundreds
OF town officers have offered their
cooperation, nearly every town
treasurer in the whole cutover re-
gion has sent in mailing lists Of
settlers, and bankers and dealers in
all the towns have. come forward with
their assistance. The newspapers
are giving columns Of publicity to
the campaign. 1t amounts to vast
conspiracy against stumps.
This campaign for a greater and
better upper wisconsin is an i'm
mense move to carry through to sue
cess in a short time. Everyone
should assist and make it such Il
success that it will be repeated
twice a year until upper Wisconsin is
a grand developed country. 1t will
mean saving to the farmers of un-
told thousands without hurting any
one.

they strained their Old suspenders
lifting logs that were bell-henders,--
and clearing up an acre was the hor-

Scarce a village banker aided
those poor land reclaimers, jaded, or
figured on some credit scheme to-
put them on their feet; for when they
asked for money they were looked
upon as funny, and surtly told to tie

Land was cheap and men were
cheaper, and the old Virginia creaper,
the dogwood and the hickory grew
more plentifully than crops. Oh that
early pioneering needed rough and
rugged gearing, and had we to live
thus nowadays we might drown our
aches with hopes

Some time ago, a lawyer who has
had a great deal Of experience with
criminals, expressed the positive be
lief that crime is largely an express
sion of i'll health. He stated that the
average criminal is fourteen pounC s
under normal weight. He said in
part, that the ability to resist crime
is physical and depends largely on
health. With i'll health or mainutr.-

give way is power Of self control.
Poverty causes i'll health; i'll health

creates an aptitude for crime; neg

In 1870, a Scotch prison physician
said that it is frequently a difficult
problem for the expert in mental
diseases to determine "Where bad
ness ends and madness begins. The
inmates of asylums and CT prisons
are so nearly allied that thin partl-

Wisconsin prison, it has been found
that the inmates are uncommonly
subject to degeneratiye diseases
