Col. Hooker's Good Dinner.
A good story is going the rounds 01
of the press now about Colonel lh
George W. Hooker of Vermont,
telling how he and ex-Congressman
W. L. Scott of Pennsylvania break- tl
fasted together in New York one
day and how the millionaire canal- I
operator told Colonel Hooker that f
he would give .ll his worldly pos
sessions for a good appetite-this
after seeing Colonel Hooker devour
a breakfast of enormous proportions. a
A gentleman who read the para- s
graph in a W\ashington paper said a
to a correspondent of the New York '
Tribune: e
"I have a sequel to that story, r
without which it is really not col- r
plete. Colonel Hooker is fond of
drinking as well as 6feating. One
day he was going down Broadway E
in New York with the light of a I
recent experience beaming in his
aye, when he met a friend who was
well acquainlted with his convivial
habits.
"'Hello, Hooker!' said this friend.
'Where have you been?'
"'Been to dinner,' said Colonel
Hooper, his eyes rolling in his K
head and his lips moving as though
some sweet flavor lingered upon
them still.
"'Did you have a good dinner?'
said his friend.
"'Good dinner?' said Hooker. !
'Good dinner? The finest dinner I
ever had.'
"'What did you eat?' said his
friend.
"'Eat?' said Colonel Hooker.
"Eet? we didn't cat. We drank1:'

The Register this week publishes
an extract from the report of the
senate committee relating to the
agricultural resources of Montana.
The statements are made frcnm
official sources, and are therefore t
reliable. The report is not in the
nature of a schoolboy oration,
neither does it resemble the senti
mental poetic effusions of a school
girl, who has just graduated in the
public schools. Many persons who
undertake to write about the im
lmense resources of Montana, get

cend the mountain heights of fancy.

Sicontributions are of the dime novel

in advertising Montana. This re
port of the irrigation committee is
the antipodes of such muethods: It
gives the real facts-the bedrock
I facts, it you please. They are suf
ficient to show that Montana is the
richest country on the globe, and
that Gallatin county is its garden

Seeing the Graves.
Just before leaving England for
Germany, writes Eugene Field to
the Chicago News. I went down to
llunhill Fields to see the graves o
four very great nen--Bunyan, )e
Foe. Watts and Ritson. The ceme
tery is a curious spot. as full of
interest as it is full of bones-the
name originally was tone hill.
One hundred and twenty-five lier
sons have been buried here. Rit
son's grave cannot be identified.
The antiquary requested that nt
mound or slab should be raised
above him, and that wish has beet,
complied with. "He was buried
snomewhere in the corner"-that it
jll the information the guide has
to give. De Foe's grave is markco
i. hstaaunch obelisk, for which
his youthful readers have paid. A
comparatively new mlonulment
stands over Bunyan's grave; the
old slab was fairly hacked to Lits
and carried away by relic-hunters.
"I fancy," said I to the guide.
"that many of my countrymen visit
this saintly spot?"
"Oh, yes sir," said he, "they
come here in droves during the
season."
"Can it be possible," I asked,
"that this cemetery has a season,
the same as seaside resorts and
water cures have?"
"Oh no," he' answered, "I mean
that they come here in summer,
for in the summ.er mostly Ameri
cans come to England "
"I al, p-oun," said I, "to know
iiht mny countrymiliul are disiosed
to pay the tribute of their reverence
and affection to the memories of
these saintly dead. Could you tell
me wliich of these hallowed sp'ots
they seem to seek out more par
ticularly? Either Bunyan or Watts
would be more likely to appeal to
the averaige American I suspect.'
"No sir," replied the guide: "how
they find out about it I can't say,
but nearly all of 'enm come to see
the tomb of that landy over there,
and they always make a copy of the
epitaph."
I proceeded to the spot designa
ted. It was the grave of a worthy
but not noted lady who "in sixty
eight months was tapped sixty
seven times" and "had 266 gallons
of water taken from her," all of
Swhich she endured "wtihout re
pining at the dispensation of an
inscrutable Providence."

Mrs. Forsythe takes personal
charge of all her business enter
prises and livesin a beautiful home
on the island. She is 36 years old,
beautiful, educated and accolm

band died soon after their marriage
leaving his girl-bride-she was only
18 then-with but little property.
In seven years she was known as
the "White Queen" in New Britian,
and when Lord Pembroke visited
the island he sketched her portrait
at' length and it appeared in his
"South Sea Bubbles." Since that
time she has steadily prospered in
all her enterprises and now she
owns 150,000 acres of land on the
fertile South Sea islands, two steam

to close a contract for the building
of four more vessele for the island
