Nobody is scared up this way. Missouri is enforcing her crimi- nal laws, hence the gain in Jeffer- son City population. The day after Christmas is tile shortest day in the year, from a financial standpoint. The ladies seem to be as unable to keep Alice Roosevelt Long - worth from smoking as an ordi- n , a ry chimney. Our Democratic friends appear in high glee on what they term Democratic prospects for 1912, but they must remember the old adage,\There is many a slip,etc. Dr. Cook, of Arctic fame, has again broke into print, acknow- ledging he might have been mis- taken about finding the real axle. But then a fakir must have some excuse when caught with the goods. The Democratic congressmen - elect will meet soon to agree on a ways and means committee, nearly a year before they gathwz in official sess.m. This might be termed, taking trouble by the forelock.' A story comes from Little Rock Ark., of tne swallowing of a ne- gro by a huge boa constrictor. This is probably a new *ay the Democrats of Ark. have of dis- posing of' Republican_ voters, without being charged with mur- der. A resolution has been intro- duced in congress asking an in- vestigation into Roosevelt's trav- eling expenses during his term as president. Let the investiga- tion proceed, if Mr. Roosevelt has just been playing to the gal- leries all the time let us find it out. Billy Sunday, the ex -ball play- er and now an evangelist, was re- cently given $7,800 by the citi- zens of Waterloo, Ia.. at the con- elusion of a six weeks' meeting. No doubt William will soon be wincing when he reads that verse about the camel, the eye of a needle and the rich pan. It is unlawful to offer a reward through the U. S. mails for the performance of an unlawful act. Hence the conviction of Editor Warren of the Appeal to Reason, the Socialist organ of Girard, Kans., in which he was given six months in jail and a fine of $1,500. Still there are people who will severely condemn the court- of appeals for the decision. Along with the high cost of liv- ing, comes the high cost of dying. It tuts recently come to light that many of ale undertakers in the large cities, notably New York make 500 per cent profit. It has also been ascertained that the cost of being sick has doub- led in ten years. The question is, how are we going to beat the game? • Has Townsend a live commer- cial club? If not; one should be organized at once and thus keep pace with other Montana towns. Now is the - titne . to organize 'Oat prepare literature setting forth the advantages of the town and county with the prospeo o f i n - creased building activity and the installing of a Ita ter system in the spring.

If protection is good for the nation it is good fin the town. As townspeople we should favor ourown to vs above every other town, as the growth and development of it is %%hat will enhance the value of all pro.. perty, both in and about. it. Then buy your dry goods, gro vet -tee. hardware, furniture. etc., at home; have your printing, your blacksmithiug, your shoe- making done at home, patron- ize 110IIIP industry in every in- stance that you can. The suceese of our merchants and inechauk•s mean new business houses and residences, additional demands for labor of various kinds. To the farmer a first class town af- fords a better market for his grain, a better trading point, and such a town is bound to in- crease the value, of his labds. Un- questionably, \in union there is strength.\ Let us protect our town. A GREAT PROBLEM SOLVED. No more cold storage eggs. New laid eggs for breakfast every morning. This is the happy pros- pect for ,every American family whether in town or country. A Connecticut man, taking ad • vantage of the natural credulity of the humble, trusting hen, be- guiles it into laying every morn- ing by letting it gaze fondly up- on a few flowers, in a greenhouse. A small greenhouse, a small run and a few nests for the hen and the musical cackle of ,the hen is heard from the first days of dull November ubtil ground hog: days are over. No longer the glut of eggs in spring and a fan, - ter; the problem of eggs in winter It time to come. Think of it! A few daffodills and hyacinths judiciously placed and the hen innocently thinks It is a balmy day in April itietead of a zero day in Janunry. The plan presents a well high perfect combination of the useful and beautiful. Its esthetic value also is to be commended. The plebian barn fowl equally with the aris- tocratic.Orpiugtous,Wyandottes Rocks and Reds will respond to its refining influence. Then, look, it is a plan that everyone can adopt. To be sure a greenhouse is not always pos- sible, but it iallthe flowers and not the warmth, we understand, tutu works the charm. If natural flowers are not available doubt - a few artificial ones are placed with studied negligence, or a flower piece or two upon the wall opposite the nests will an- swer the purpose. Comna think of it to what better use can the large colored plates in seed cata- logues be pat? If anytning can make hens lay in the winter they can. In fact, having in mind the gigantic size of the flowers por, trayed on the plates any hen . looking earnestly upon theta would naturally lay eggs twice the usual .size.—Ex. DINNER IN THE JUNGLE. A very remarkable Christmas story comes from Little Rock. It is a snake story in which a boa constrictor and a negro are mixed up, with the negro inside of . t he constrictor. It seems 11110 be a true tale and not the pro- duct of an Arkansas imagination inflamed by eggnogs. \Madam .1-umbo,\ a huge boa constrictor, measuring twenty-five feet in length, nine Oldies across the head, twenty' nine inches about the waist. weighing 400 pounds and more .thau 200 years old, died while on exhibition at Little Rock a few days ago. She was some snake, but pneumonia, ng- 'grivflt ad by injuries received in capture tmlertnined her consti- tution mid she croaked. Her cash value was 02,000 an41. she was therefore much lamented by. her owner. only short period in\Nludain Juinho'e\ 200 years of history has become known in Arkansas, Shelled been in captivity but a little time, having been captuttdi In Africa ten weeks ago and im- mediately placed on a steatner bound tor New York. She was 'andel there seven weeks ago and sent to Oklahoma City for exhibition, where she remained till four da vs bvfoie her untime- ly demise at Lit I IC Rock. What mural effect she produced on the bibulous population of Oklaho- ma City is not stated, but she was certainly big enough to be a warning to any man. However, it was not till after \Madam Jumbo's\ death that her tastes and character were gliscove;rd. An autopsy held over her body revealed a wad of utigro wool and several human ! teeth and bones. Her partiality for the colored race was disclosed She was a negro-lover. It is the custom of her kind of a snake to feed about once in three months, and as she had notled since she was captured it is supposed that her last repast was on the body of a native of her country. It is awful to think what might have happened if she had become sav- agely hungry in Little Rock and wanted meat. Supposing she had escaped about three weeks from now, when it would again be meal time? Would'a white man have satisfied her? It is ',very im- probable. \Madam Jumbo\ would have glided into blackest Little Rock and swallowed the first negro she met. Her body, when cut to pieces for burial, filled a sugar barrel, and :the skin, valued at $250, weighed thirty-nine pounds. Thir- ty pounds of leaf fat, from which snake oil will be made, was tak- en from her. It is a fortunate thing for the Africans that a boa constrictor needs only 4 square meals a year. There is something unpleasant in the idea of being a_big snake, although it may be au - eaSy death, all ser- pents being charmers 'QUEER ADS.\ Following are a few want ads taken from an exchange.

In a railway carriage chat the other day a London medical man told a good story which had come within his own experience. A mother was frequently bringing her child to him for treatment. lad the doctor could discover nothing amiss except Its need of a- gocd wash. She was certain the infant was suffering from some terri- ble complaint and begged the doctor to do his best. He prescribed a daily wash with the water in which pota- toes laid been peeled.
