Both com- panies are very anxious to get their roads through that country and so they decided a_ joint line wetild answer the needs of both. It is now planned by the Mil- waukee to commence the Lewis. Range section in the early spring. At the same time the Great Northern will begin work on the section front Grass Range to Weede. Thus with the two construction forces at work, it is expected the line to Lewistown will be completed next year. From Weede the Milwaukee will build south onlhis side of the river two miles east of to\vit where it will connect with the main lino. The Great Northern will build - on from Weede to meet• the line that will be in progress from New Roceford„N. D. This will save an immenseanabnut of thiues and: money for both roads in carrying. nut their respective plans for cut- offs. Their is every reason to believe that the arrangement inelpties the nee sf the one line. following the •• Great Northern survey to the Judith river. From there this Great Northern will build on as planned to its connection with the Billings & Northern at loceassin, while the Milwaukee will branch off at the river and follow its own survey into Great Falls. The plan as now agreed upon should give intense satisfaction for this line has long been needed and will be much apPrecinted. • ABSHER A. B. Tolley and wife spent Christmas with B. A. Brielloys% B.

The high water mark of tourists visiting Switzerland was reached last July, when the Swiss Federal railways, exclusive of . the funicular lines, transported 7,072,000 travel- ers, and the receipts amounted to $3,600,400, which totals have never been attained in preyious years. At present, owing to the weather becom- ing . anddenly chilly in the higher re- made after two months . of heat, crowds are coming down to the large towns, while the express trains are also taking away many visitors, es- pecially Germans and Italians. The Seminole Indians of Florida sit, cat and sleep on platforms raised about three feet from the ground un- der the roofs of their open houses. In each village the houses are so ar- ranged as to leave an open space in the middle of the camp, and in the center of this is a cooking house. Here food is constantly kept on the lire, for there are no hard and fast meal hours. They go about dressed ill native costume. The men wear, on ordinary occasions, merely a shirt of gayly colored calico. To this they add, whenever they can obtain one, a derby hat and new bandana hand- kerchiefs around neck. This is their ordinary dress. On gala occasions they wear a turban, made of a shawl held toeethei by a band of hammered silver, and Sport an aigrette or an os- trich feather, beautiful woven bead belts with eymbolie designs, leggings mid moccasins of buckskin and a gor- geous calico coat. The use of bed: - skin upper garments has long . sine , been discontinued on account of the heat ; the . leggings and moccasins have survived, but are no longer worn about the camps, for they woeld sorm become wet and useless.

Most of us, however, seem to need sleep: The Inventor is more practical when he adds. \It takes me one minute to undress at night, 40 seconds to fall asleep and two minutes to dress in the morn- ing.\ It takes other people longer to dress and undress, and maybe that is why there is but one Edison. Nowadays it does not suffice to doll night and don day raiment. Dress- ing in the morning is a rite an hour or more long. One tnust swing dumbbells, and have a shower, and brush his teeth, and gargle his throat, and spray his nose, and rub his gums with magnesia, and shave, and apply witch hazel, and knead his scalp, and use an eye cup, Rod, cat quinine for a cold eqming or going, and uncork liniment for mine local ailment. Most of these processes are under- taWn to promote health, preserve youth and postpone old age. They are like lifting one's self over a fence by the boot straps.

CO:MON • MAN BEST .CUARD Actress Harassed by Many Portia Finds Him Most Sympathetic and Respectful. It is a curious paradox that the calling of an actress thrusts her into peculiar dangers and at the sante roe op.rates to prevent her getting proteeiion against those very perils. It is this way. She must necessarily go upon the strtt, often unescorted. at en -curdy hours. If she be acco4- ed, and appeal to the policeman ou the beat. ,Ite will too frequently find :lilt, through brutal ignorance and bigotry. he will refuse an actress the protection he would immediately af- ford another woman. It is better to appeal to almost any man than to a policeman. But, of all protectors, a woman should select the common man. I started out with the idea that man with the rough face and shabby clothes wont(' be less respectful end courtro.-1 than the wfli-dressed man. In knocking about the country I have had, from lime to time, to ask strinwe men for,information, for fa- vors, for !ell), and sometimes protec- tion. -l have found that by all odds the most sympathetic and helpful and respectful men were the rough - looking ones. If, in a dilemnia, I had to choose between the two types, even if it were only a question of which weel(1 take the more trouble, I should be sure to go to the common men.—From an article in McClure's Magazine.
