As we remember the history of this inva sion. the Butte people were rather proud at first of possessing an Indian contin gent which added to the bizarre and picturesque aspect of their streets and rounded out the claim of cosmopolitan ism that the Butteites have so strenu ously made.

"His ship was the Humming Bird, a brand new clipper hailing from Boston. The trip out to Hong-Kong had been her maiden one. and it was chafing to Hobbs' not very smooth temper to have her lie idle so early in her career. Having great faith in the ship's speed and in his own seamanship. he was more than anxious to put to sea and let Semmes catch him if he could; but, like the rest of us, his orders to remain were positive. -'Occasionally a ship would manage to clear by sailing under some foreign flag. but as it was a complicated process in volving fathoms of red tape and very of ten fell through just when everything seemed favorable it was not resorted to very often. When it was tried, however, old Hobbs would go on his beam ends with wrath. He wouldl fume and rant, casting aslpersions on the patriotism of the owners. the agents. the officials, and even the Chinese crew. He was so in tensely patriotic that to see a good Yan kee craft sail under false colors wonul keep him boiling for a week.

Hobbs came to the rail in his plng ihat and long tailed bI.ttie gre-n coat, the customary unifnt: of ia skippr in those days. and asked the harbor master what he could do. instantly, sir. said the harbor master. 'Guess not.' said Hobbs. "It's a disgrace, sir, and an insult to hoist ',-ch a flag as that!' " 'What's the matter with the flag' said Hobbs. surprised. " 'It's all wrong, sir: the proportions are all wrong. The field is too long for its width. and the rest of it is too wide for its length. The crosses are wrongly ar ranged. sir. and it is a vile caricature of an honored flag, sir! Remove it imme diatelyr ''G uess not.' said Hobbs again. 'That flag was bought in a British port and made by a British subject. He was a Chinaman, but that is neither here nor there. I don't care if it is the flag of Patagonia, so long as it was sold to me for that of England. Good morningr 'The harbor master had nothing to say to this and started back, but he had no sooner done so than the main halliards were pulled, the ;undle at the peak broke out. and in 4jecond the stars and stripes were waving before the aston. ished eyes of the harbor master, the Yan kee.skippers and Captain Semmes of the Alabama. indeed, so large was Old Glory in this particular case that it al most brushed the Alabama's decks, the vessels beingsonear together.

He told Richard that he might mark out the field with the plow for the planting, and if he suited he might be hired for two or three months. Meantime the farmer saw that the boy was very arxious to stay, and that he had evidently a very good disposition. So the young theologian went to work with tremendous vigor. He did not stop to take breath until he had marked off a large tract of ground with deep furrows. Then came his employer from his work in another part of the farm and looked at the boy's work and leaned up against the fence and laughed until he sho-k.
