Helena—In tbe '?•'** I was drifting •boo* Montana, working at whatever tap;* ned to come along, just staying in one place and at one occupation so luesg as my erring fancy dictated. in this way I wandered from Idaho, though the Yellowstane National park, into Wyoming, and from there across the line to Montana with a trail herd at cattle to the Milk river country. After that I went into the Little Rocky mountain*, where 1 took i p a small ranch for rattle raising on i<_ck creek.

Of course, that was no argument, but it lufficed for Matthews. Harding, when be Lad recovered sufficiently from bis surprise at this cool Intimation, in formed his visitor that he had taken the place up quite legitimately and “^ant to held It. Tuck heard him out In silence Then he told Harding, with many picturesque oaths, that he would give h m nine days to clear out, and If t* was not out by that time he would put him past taking an In terest In anything earthly. Then he rode off ©■ the ninth day the young rancher was sitting eating hts dinner, when he hard hoof-beats cutside the door, which was standing open on account of the beat.

Paris —Since cinematograph shows have became a popular form of public entertainment, all sorts of devices have had to be resorted to to obtain suitable films calculated to move the patrons of the various exhibitions to mirth or tears. In several parts of Paris there exist grounds where enter prising impresarios can arrange any thing from a battle scene to a ship wreck. and which, when protographed. have all the appearance of being the real thing. Recently one of the firms which Horse and Vehicle Were Made to Dash Over the Precipice. make a specialty of supplying film* pushed its enterprise a tittle too far. Wishing to depict a tragic episode with something of its real horror, it arranged for the photographing of a scene which was to end with the crashing of a horse and vehicle over a precipice, and to this end it was quite prepared to sacrifice an ancibnt ve hicle and an equally ancient horse. A suitable precipice was found at Greix. in Brittany, and everything was got ready for the picture, but the pop ulace hearing of what was going on. and feeling disgusted at the cruelty which was involved to the animal, hounded the cinematograph operators from their quiet resort. The operators, however, simply moved on a few miles, this time tc Ploemeur. and at this spot the horse and vehicle were made to dash over a precipice, photographs of the spec tacle being taken. The horse was ol course killed and the vehicle smashed to pieces. When it was all over the police ap peared and served summonses on . those concerned. For a long time the summonses could not be heard, the operators having gone to Africa to find another sensa tional picture. Finally, however, the case came on before the 1 .orient police court, and the judge, whose comments were more caustic than the punish ment. Inflicted the maximum fine pro vided by the Grammont law. which however, was only a matter of three dollars. The cinematograph company was declared responsible for the costs while the photographer who actually took the photographs was acquitted. Hand-Painted Slippers. Here is good news for the artistic girl. I>et her get out her paint tubes and set to work on painting kid slip pers to match her summer frocks. A white kid slipper of the latest vogue ' is adorned with painted forget-me nots. Naturally small blossoms are the best to select for reproduction, but some of the larger flowers might be convt ntlonallzed and worked up Intc good 6lipper subjects. Very artistic, too. are the slippers of brocade outlined with dull gold or silver threads. The clothof-steel slip pers are equally pretty and may be worn with a gown of almost any color Black velvet pumps are one of the novelties of the summer for wear with lingerie gowns By the way. the new pumrs have ankle straps which make them much more comfortable than the old models, which kept slipping oft j Laced sandals will be used for dress shoes They are fascinating and have a tendency to decrease the site of the foot because the toes are short.

The news of hia appointment has been warmly welcomed In India. RUSSIANS LIKE U. S. Emigrants Favor This Country in Preference to Siberia. Problem Engages Attention ct Able Muscovite Writers and Econo mists. Who Advise Authori se to Check Outflow. St- Petersburg.—On the question of emigration and immigration a consid erable change has come over the world during the last forty years, new countries being more careful about the sort of immigrants they receive and old countries being more concerned about the sort of emigrants they part with. Forty years ago the British government looked on emigration much as the doctors of those days looked cn blood-letting. Now it looks on emigration, even from Ireland, as the doctors of these days look on blood-letting. Russia is now beginning to do the same, judging from a series of articles entitled “The Future of Russian Emigration to America." which has been appearing in the N'ovoe Vremya of St. Petersburg, from the pea of Julius XelidoB. Mr. Xe!i doff, who has personally investigated Ibis problem for many years in Amer ica. thinks that the Russian govern- ! meat should do all in its power to get Its stream of immigration directed ! toward Siberia instead of toward New York, and that if a section of the Russian immigrants insist cn go ing to America in any case the Rus- ; sian authorities should do all In their power to make that section consist of men who will come back and in due i time enrich their fatherland with the experience, the money, the knowledge ; of agriculture and of industry which they have picked up abroaj. He fears, however, that the stream j of emigration irliich is Cowing Amer seaward cannot he stopped and he cal culates that it will soon consist of half a million persons yearly from Russia alone- As he also calculates that the British, German. Italian and Austrian emigration to America will shortly fall to insignificant figures, i: ‘ :s probable that this great wave of Slavonic immigration will be the last great billow of the kind that will strike the United Starse. It would be interesting, therefore, to speculate cn the efiect which this addition of Slav blood will have on the ultimate Amer ican type. It will probably make that type more dreamy, philosophical and artistic, and consequently improve it. but >!r. XeiidoS does not deal with this aspect of the question. He sticks to hard facts and these show him that while the emigration from Russia formerly consisted chief !y of Jews. Pirns. Germans and Letts, pure Russians now- take the first place. Poles and Lotts occupying the second in 1907 our Russian writer found on Ellis island Russians from the gov ernments of Smolensk. MogileS. Cher nlgaff and Velinsky. Xow he Ends them from the central governments and even from beyond the Vcdg. The emigration is kept up by tke emigra !ioc companies- who are as active in Moscow as they are in Tokyo and who have behind them American manufac turers. hungry for cheap labor. Casts Real Pearls ta Sert-e. St. Louis.—A second valuable pearl found around Hardin. Calhoun county. 111. was discovered by James Ontis in his hog pen. It is what is called a high-button pearl and weighed 54 grains. Mr Ontis sold it for $S>0 in Hardin to S L. Fitts, a pearl buyer, who two weeks ago purchased for Si.000 a pearl from two sheUers which was found near Hardin. Ontis. who is engaged in shelling cn the Ildnois river, near Hardin, feeds the clams to his tegs. The pearl tad Vvidently been thrown with the clams into the hog trough. Cut Pacific Coast Forests They Wiil All Dissppeir in Thirty Five Year? If Present Rate Is Maintained. Seattle. Wash.—From the reports of all the counties in the timbered sec tion of Washington it is shown that •here are 213.00-1.0*>0.000 fo-et of stand ins timber in the state. The reports were made by cruisers for taxation purposes and are believed to be ac curate. This immense forest is being made Into lumber at the rate of S.000.1VV*, 0©0 feet a year. At the present mar ket price the lumber made last year was worth $15 a thousand, making the cut for 1909 valued at about $9o.- , Tidal Effects on the Land Delicate Seismcgraphic Instrument Shows That Buildings Salute Twice Each Day. London.—As a result of a series of experiments recently carried out by Professor Milne, the pioneer of moti- j ern seismology. It is now known that i twice each day at high tide the build- j Ings along opposite sides of tidal bf-1 =ins salute each other. The experiments were carried out at Hidston observatory, near Liverpool, one and a half miles from the sea. with a modified form of seismograph designed to record tidal effects and the more minute movements which other seismographs would not or not Dften record. The Instrument re corded photographically, a tilt on the plilar supporting It causing a definite deflection on the film. From the very first the Instrument gave very clear and definite records of the strange effect of the tides. Twice a day the recording needle swung in one direction, showing that the steepness of the hillside on which it rested was Increasing. At high tide the be dof the Irish sea became depressed from an Increased load, and the effect of this was to pull the shores together. The amount of j this change was not very great, al though much greater than might have been expected. At Btdston the amount of deflection was about equal to one Inch In sixteen miles. In thus securing a measurement of : the deflection caused by the tide Pro- I fessor Milne has succeeded where others have failed. Many years ago he showed that our ordinary, appar ently stable English valleys opened when the sun fell upon them and con tracted during the night. He also showed that apparently the whole of the Isle of Wight tilts up at high wa- ' ter owing to the greater weight of the water in the Eng'ish channel as com pare! with that in the Solent. His latest work is the complement of earlier research and tends to show that the earth is a great deal more elastic and responsive to pulls and strains than is commonly appreciated. Hunt for Dinosaur. New York.—Barnum Brown of the American Museum of Natural History has left town with two associates j bound on a hunting trip for game 3.000.000 years old. Their quarry is to be the dinosaur, of the cretaceous pe- ’ riod. or all that Is left of him. and es pecially and particularly the great : horn dinosaur, whose skull, seven feet ! long. Mr. Brown brought home two years ago. To find the other bones of this mam moth creature and set them up with the skull in the hall of dinosaurs is the primary object of the present trip The destination of the present ex pedition is Glaseow. Mont. Thence they will work their way down into the Bad Lands some 40 miles south along the tributaries of the Missouri river. It Is estimated tb.it fully two thirds. or SK.iXH|,(h*oi represents the amount of c oney paid to labor. According to the latest statistics. Washington leads in the fn>daMio3 of lumber, and during IS • • shipped 45, '►>.» cars of shingles and S5.«») cars of lumber. The lumber and shingles to taled 1.SOO.OOO.OOO feet. Over 1.200. **■>»'■ .000 feet of lumber was sent to for e tgn parts and to coast towns, and this, added to the home consumption, or l.S'1’),WO.WO. makes the annual pro duction of lumber by the sawmills of the state total over 6.000 000.000 feet. One-half the urea of the state of 35, tv» square miles is timbered. The timber of the state would make a plank road three inches thick and 500 feet wide around the earth It would load 10,000.000 cars of IbiO.OOO feet each 45 feet long, equal to S5.227 miles of trains. These cars would reach nearly three and one-half times around the world. A six or eight-room house for five people each requires about 40.000 feet of lumber. The timber of this state would build 5.000.000 such houses, which would be sufficient to house one-third of the population of the United States. The density of the forests of Wash ington is unequaled in any other sec tion of the world. In Clallam and Chehalis counties, according to offi cial estimates, the entire timbered area runs 20.000.000 to the square mile. The stand on smaller areas Is phenomenal. In Clallam county one acre was recently found to have 300. 000 feet of standing timber. A Pacific county mill cut 500.000 feet of logs from a little less than two acres. The logs average from 12.000 to 15.000 feet each, and would present a serious problem to the mill equipment of the timbered section ot the upper Mississippi region. War on Rinderpest. Oakland.

O.. has mar ried Miss May Sellers, daughter of a capitalist of Wellston. Eight years ago Miss Sellers was a student in Denison university. While there she met Riley. She told her friends she didn't like him. but he could not be turned away. Finally she left Denison and went to Wooster uni versity. He followed her. She left there and went to Oberlin college. Again he followed her. She told her friends she was not going to run away from him any more and openly asked him to let her alone. She finished her college work and graduated from Oberlin. Riley returned to Denison, then went to Rochester, where he pre pared for the ministry, but changed his mind after graduation anJ took up law. Throughout the seminary and law school days Riley continued to write to Miss Sellers. She ig nored his letters. A year ago she was teaching in In diana. away from her people, and she grew lonesome. She answered one of his letters and that was the begin j ning of the end. “LOST 40 YEARS. IS FOUND Woman Sees “Hackersack" in Print and Remembers Then Sister Lives There. Canton.
