HAYS WHISTLES TO HEART
EN- HIMSELF.

Will II. Hays, chairman of the
Republican National committee,
continues to dash madly abou the
country, whistling shrilly in a
determined effort to arouse the
jaded spirits of his Republican
employers.
The warbler's tune ever is the
same, "We can't lose" but the
question is: How seriously does
Hays take his own remarks9
If the Republicans were so
cocksure of winning with any
candidate, would not Hays be a
little less active and would he not
spread a little less oil and salve
as he goes?
Taken without analysis. the
statements of Hays and other Re-
publican leaders as to their GER
tainty of winning in 1920 make an
easy and pleasing dose and G. O.

WOLFE GLAMOUR HEARD AGAIN
Musical instrument Of the Past Has
Found Favor With Prominent
Americansc Composers.

The viole d'amour is musical in
strument which had become practically
obsolete until Charles Martin Loeffier,
the American composer, wrote part
for it in his dramatic poem, la Morte
de Tintagiles." The instrument had
not been recognized since Bach placed
it in his orchestration of "St. Johns
Passion" and Meyerbeer employed 1t
to accompany an air In the first act
of lies Huguenots." The unique fea-
ture of the viOle d'aInour is it's system
of sympathetic strings. Beneath its
seven strings which are sounded with
a bow, are stretched seven steel strings
supposed to vibrate with the bowed
ones and enhance the power Of the
sound. The strings are tuned strictly
In the key of D major, the lowest
string being the D, one tone below
the Violin e string. Berlioz speaks of
the instruments sweet, seraphic
tone" It is said to be remarkably
adapted to playing chords, arpeggios
and harmOnics.

using it to fill up the glass funnel. At
the same time place some receptacle
under the funnel Sprinkle salt on
the ice and then move the flowers and
the funnel into close proximity.
After a while it will be seen that
the moisture from the atmosphere Is
condensed on the outside of the funnel,
the surface OF which is chilled by the
ice. The ethereal odor of the flowers
combines with this liquid which slow
~ trickles down by drops into the re-
ceptacle. When sufficient quantity
is secured this may be mixed with
about an equal quantity of pure alco-
hol. The mixture should then be placed
in bottles, when it will keep for an in
definite time. In this way all kinds
of flower perfume may be captured
with the greatest ease.

CATTLE DAYS I'M THE MILK RIVER
VALLEY AFTER HARD WINTER OF 1869

roundupS were big affairs and ship
ping cattle to market was an art.
Weeks were sometimes required in
getting range stock to the railroads,
often many hundreds of miles away.
To take cattle that distance and keep
them from losing flesh required a lot
of knowledge of the game and much
judgment. Fording streams with a
big herd was another problem. The
Yellowstone in flood was always a
trial to cowpunchers. Once a herd of
Kohrs took three days to cross, so
slow was the work, and S3 head were
drowned.
There were many amusing incl
dents that happened in those days of
the open range that have been hand
ed down by such story tellers as
Charlie Russell, Teddy Blue &c. c..
Abbott) and others. One of these
had to do with the first circulating
library" in Montana.
1t happened that Nick Bielenberg
bought a bunch of cattle from Gran
vile Stuart ard had to move them
across the country to the railroad.
Stuart was along with the outfit, but
he did not pretend to take a hand
with the cattle, but devoted most of
his time to reading. He also thought
it wouldn't do the cowpunchers any
harm to read a few books, so he
brought along a whole sack of them.
The circulating Library
'The way those cowpunchers
would tackle those books was a eau
tion," said Nick B%ielenberg, in tell
ing the story. 'They would come in
to camp and pick up a book. Pre-
sently the cook would holler Grub
Pile till he was red in the face, but
he could never get all of the boys to
come and eat at the same time. Just
as soon as one puncher would drop a
book, another would grab it.
FINALLY the cook came to me and
said: Hell, I'm goin' to quit this job.
If these damn cowpunchers like them
books better than they do my grub,
let 'em live on 'em or starve!'
''This mar was a good cook and /
did not want to lose him. 1 said:
Bill, you stay right on the job and
I'll see that you have no more trou-
ble.'
'"That night I sneaked around to
Granville Stuart's bed roll and stole
his sack of books. Next I wandered
in among the bed rolls of the other
boys and picked up every book l
could find cached. / then took my
saddle horse and rode five miles to
the Yellowstone river. AS l watched
the books spinning around in the cur
rent on their way to New Orleans, l
said to myself, There's a real circu-
library"
