HIS LITTLE ROMANCE.
How It Was Crushed by the Words She
Spake to Him.
The De Blair ball is midway over.
Bright eyes outshine diamonds in webby
laces. Soft gleaming silks mirror rose
colored lamps. Lights twinkle, maids
whisper. Half gay, half sad strains melt
on the ear. A blue eyed girl, dreamy,
slim and tremulous lipped, is floating in
the arms of.young Arlington. He whis
pers to her now and again, and she an
swers with a smile or a glance.
Waltz after waltz wooes them into the
circling maze. The siren music steals
away the hours, and the poetry of mo
tion charms them into forgetfulness and
wakens their feelings into a tenderness
that is not yet love. In the dreamy
pauses between he is ever by her side.
They linger in alcoves and where the tall
ferns make screens of themselves. The
incense of flowers intoxicates, and in the
intervals of silence love] weaves an airy
fabric. Oh, the crimson that comes and
goes! Oh, the eyes that say to other eyes,
"Come woo me!" Oh, the tender com
mands and sweet yieldings! Oh, the
words that tremble on the lips! Their
world is the ballroom; for her there is
but one person in it, and he has forsworn
-the other woman. There is no past
and no future.
The ball has too soon passed into the
mists of a ball that has been. The night
is shivering in its death sleep. Shestands
in fleecy white wraps awaiting her car
riage, and from the stone step beneath
the portico he looks up at her, a tender
light in his eyes. The blue eyes answer
the silent question, and he bends over
her hand.
"Good night," he says softly, and with
a half sigh she echoes:
"Good night."
A fortnight later he sees her again.
She is seated near him at a theater
party. He gazes upon her as she watches
the stage. What expression in her facel
What lovelight in her eyes! "She is
thinking of me," he says exultantly to
himsel4 "Now she is remembering that
waltz, how the music died away and I
still held her in my arms. Now the time
she lifted her eyes and I saw into her
very soul. Her sweet face shows all her
thoughts. She cannot look at me. She
must know that I too remember." Bend
ing toward her he whispers:
"I can never thank the De Blairs
enough for that ball!"
A faint surprise is in her eyes as she
turns her head.
"Oh, were you there?" she asks lan
guidly. "Dreadful crush, wasn't it?"
Life.
Very Extreme.
"I quite agree with you that in the
matter of dress we should conform to
the usages of society. Cynthia," said
Colonel Calliper to his wife as they sat
at dinner, "but in this, as in other mat
ters. we should be guided by reason.
"I knew a young man who was so
punctilious in this regard that once at a
watering place where he was staying, the
tide happening to serve after 6 o'clock,
he went clamming in a swallowtail coat.
"Now, that, I should consider, is car
rying the thing to extremes."-New York
Sun.
lWhat He Wanted.
"We can't permit anybody to dictate
rates to us, sir," said the clerk at the ad
vertising counter loftily. "I can give
you all the space you want, but you will
have to come to my figures.''
"You can give me all the space I want.
can you, young man?"
"I can, sir."
"In that case," said the man on the
outside of he counter blandly, "will
you please give me the regular rates for
the orbit of Neptune?"-Chicago Tribune.
Sympathy.
Housekeeper-This is the twentieth

Peddler-Yes, mum, I'm very sorry
you don't want anything, mum.-New

he said, "because you always dress so
simply. It is .comforting to think that
my little girl has the right idea about
expenditures."
"I don't know, George," she said
dreamily. "This gown I have on cost
nearly $200."

CARTER HARRISON'S BAD FRENCH.
He Wanted MItushrooms, but the Waiter
Blrought Himn an Umbrella.
Some other Americans and myself had
been in the habit of dropping into the
Cafe Francais after leaving the Grand
Opera House.
None of our party spoke French, and
the head waiter was the only one in the
cafe who spoke English. He had long,
flowing, red mutton chop whiskers. As
soon as we would take our seats we
would be approached by a waiter, where
upon we would begin pulling our own
phantom mutton chops to make him
understand that we wanted the head
waiter.
"Oui, oui," he would say, and in a few
moments our bewhiskered friend, of
whom Major Handy is a prototype,
would be bowing and smiling and work
ing graciously for a tip.
We met Carter Harrison. He went to
the theater with our party, and after
ward we took him to the Cafe Francais.
- Carter Harrison was then, and may be
now, very fond of mushrooms. Before
going into the restaurant he inquired the
French name for them. He was told
that they were called "champignons."
We soon were seated at our usual ta
ble and one of the waiters came to us.
We worked our imaginary mutton chops,
but were given to understand that the
head waiter was absent. Harrison tried
to pronounce "champignon," but could
not. He thought he had it perfectly, but
his pronunciation was no more like the
French of it than my English is like the
Hindostanee. He couldn't make the
waiter understand, until an inspiration
came to him. He seized his pencil and
drew the picture of a mushroom.
Carter pronounced the word again and
pointed at the picture. There it was,
plain as day to us who knew what he
wanted-the stem and canopylike top of
the vegetable. The waiter gazed at it in
profound study for a moment, then the
light of comprehension spread over his
features.
"Oui, oui," he said, and trotted off.
In a few moments he returned, and
bowing politely to Mr. Harrison, handed
him an umbrella. We looked at the pic
ture of the mushroom, the waiter looked
at it, and then Carter, umbrella in hand,
looked at it. Then he rose and said some
thing that every American could under
stand. but which, luckily for him, the
waiter did not. Carter ate no mush
rooms that night.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
Rules For Judging Rubber.
An investigation has been conducted
by Lieutenant L. Vladimhniroff at the St.
Petersburg Technical institute with a
view to establishing rules or tests where
by the quality of vulcanized india rub
ber may be efficiently judged. It is a
notorious fact that no method of chem
ical analysis gives a reliable result for
this substance. Hence the tests applied
were chiefly of a physical nature. From
a lengthy series of experiments the fol
lowing conclusions were deduced:
India rubber should not give the least
sign of superficial cracking when bent
to an angle of 180 degrees after five
hours of exposure in a closed air bath to
a temperature of 125 degrees centigrade.
The test pieces should be six centimeters
tllcir.
Rubber that does not contain more
than half its weight of metallic oxides
should stretch to five times its height
without breaking.
Caoutchouc, free from all foreign mat
ter except the sulphur used in vulcaniz
ing it, should stretch at least seven times
its length before rupture.
The extension measured immediately
after rupture has taken place should
not exceed 12 per cent of the original
length of the test piece of rubber. The
test piece should be from 3 to 12 milli
meters long, 3 centimeters wide and not
more than 6 millimeters thick.
Softness may be determined by measur
ing the percentage of ash formed on in
cineration. It may form the basis for
deciding between different grades of rub
ber for certain purposes.
The vulcanized rubber should not hard
en under the infiluence of cold tempera
ture.-Electrician.

Deeds of a Divining Rod.
J. M. Grier, a farmer living near
Mount Vernon, has a divining rod which
he says will locate gold and silver. It
consists of two strands of copper wire
twisted together to make a rod, which is
bent, forming an angle, with a ring at
the apex, where the -wire is wrapped
with cloth, with loadstone inside. Mr.
Grier says that this divining rod will in
dicate the location of money, gold or sil
ver, buried in the ground. He has bur
ied gold and silver and allowed W. H.
Norman and W. G. Perkins,.both farm
ers near him, to search for it. Both men
were successful.-Carthage (Mo.) Press.

SMAJOR NEWSON DEAD.
Minnesota's Pioneer Journalist Dies
ait Malaga, Spain.
ST. PAUL, Miinn., April i.--Thomas
M. New:son of Lnis city, consul of the
United States at Malaga, Spain, died at
.Malaga Friday afternoon of smallpox.
The first news was received in this
city about 5 o'clock in the afternoon,
and before an hour had gone by it was
repeated in the hotels, on the streets
and placarded on many bulletin boards.
There was scarcely any intimation of
MAJOR NEWSONa
his illness, and with the exception of a
private cablegram sent to friends Thurs
day that the major was down with the
smallpox, no one was aware of it.
Major Newson, as he was familiarly
called by every one in St. Paul. was one
of the pioneer journalists of Minnesota,
having come to the state in 1853. In
1854 he started the St. Paul Times,
which he edited with ability for seven
years.
In November, 1862, Mr. Newson was
appointed commissary of substances in
the United States army by President
Lincoln, with the rank of captain, and
was afterwards appointed commissary
inspector of the district under General
Thomas. He was breveted major for
meritorious conduct by President An
drew Johnson in 1865.
He was appointed consul to Malaga
nearly three years ago, and calculated
to return home some time this sum
mer. He leaves a wife, one son and
four daughters, two of whom are teach
ers in the St. Paul high school.
HOTEL HOLOCAUST.
Six Persons Cremated, and Over a

Fire at 4:30 a. m. destroyed the Hig
gins ho:el, the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburg depot, the Higgins cigar fac
tory and the grocery store and building
of J. Leroy. At least six persons were
burned to death, and the list of the in
jured numbers between 20 and 30. The
bodies of six persons have already been
taken from the ruins and are burned
beyond recognition.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but
it is supposed to have caught froma gas

THE VI:1.'C COOMING.
One of the Stran.i. oltd Norse Crafts
Ready to Cross the Ocean.
NEW YORK, April 4.-The famous
Viking will probably leave Sandefjord
during the day. At any rate the naval
ship is ready for the trip, its crew has
been selected, and its departure is now
only a question of hours. In 1880, near
Sandefjord, at a village called Gogstad,
they discovered a viking ship, one of
the smaller vessels of thenavies of those
ancient days when Thor still ruled in
Norway. The Norwegians decided to
take this ancient ship as a model and to
build and to send across the Atlantic
such a vessel as had accompanied the
greater ship of Lief the Lucky, when
he coasted New England
Nine Centuries Ago.
On Feb. 4 this vessel, the first of its
kind to kiss the waves in half a thou
sand years and more, was launched at
Sandefjord. She is 75 feet long, 16 feet
in beam, and 6 feet from gunwale to
base of keel. Her rudder is at the right
side, as in all the old vessels. There
used to be the "steer-board," hence the
modern starboard side. She will pull
t6 oars to the side, each oar 18 feet long.
Her mast will be 50 feet tall, and the
lugsail yard 26 feet. The shields which
ornament the side at each oarlock are
8 feet in diameter, and are painted
black and yellow alternately. She
is of solid century- defying oak
throughout. If the old fashion
were strictly followed she would
have no covering. But some conces
sion has been made to the softening
effect of civilization upon the decend
ants of the vikings and there will be an
awning to shelter the rowers from the
spray and the wash and rains which
beat without stay upon the bearded
faces and broad, hairy chests of Leif's
hardy crew.
Will Land at Newport.
She will make her first landing at
Newport. R. I., where is that tower
from under which came the skeleton in
armor of Longfellow's ode. Then she
will comen down the sound and the East
river and go up the Hudson, through
the Erie canal and the lakes, and so to
Chicago and the Eair. Sihe will be re
ceived here with great ce-emony. The
first Sunday after her arrival she will
be escorted throtugh the East river by
yachts from all the various clubs here
abouts. and there will be much firing of
guns and raising and lowering of flags.
In addition to the ancient standard of
The Vikinsis, she will carry the Ameri
can fl.tg at the bow and a Norwegian
flag as the stern.

DEER LODGE
-IS THE
County Seat of Deer Lodge County, Montana
\ ND one of the oldest towns in the State, the townsite having been surveyed in
1864. The town has an altitude of 4,500 feet above sea level. It is incorpp
rated and has approximately 1,600 population. A matchless court house square,
beautiful lawns, wide and level streets, lined on either side with large shade trees,
flower gardens and good sidewalks, well-lighted thoroughfares and wise local gov
ernment are matters of the citizens' especial pride. The West Side club, a social
organization, has elegantly furnished apartments. It was recently established, not ::
alone for the comfort and pleasure of Deer Lodge people, but as a place to enter
tain their guests as well.
Deer Lodge is situated in the midst of a vast agricultural and mining section,
and is reached from the south by the Montana Union railway, a branch of the Union
Pacific system, which forms a junction with the Northern Pacific at Garrison, nine
miles north. To the south and west are the great mines of Butte, Granite and
Philipsburg; where are also located numerous smelters and stamp mills. Deer
Lodge river flows through the edge of the townsite, and offers to manufacturing
interests an excellent water power. Her schools are far above the average,
fine and ample buildings being provided as well as first-class professional
talent. Five church edifices, all above the average, with the usual number of par
sonages, rectories, etc., speak volumes for the town.
Deer Lodge's location is such as to command trade from the mining, agricultu
ral and pastoral sections embraced in a large area, and must eventually become a
place of great importance. Water for irrigating purposes is supplied by means of
ditches from adjacent streams, while for domestic purposes an excellent system of
water works provides a plenteous supply from the mountain streams.
The system has sufficient pressure for use in case of fire, and a volunteer fire com
pany, provided with ample hose, hooks, ladders and hose carts, looks out for confla
grations.
A model system of electric lights illuminates the business houses and streets,
and a monster pavilion and pleasure grounds have been provided by the citizens for
picnics and parties from neighboring towns that in the summer months frequently
accept her hospitality. Among the secret orders are lodges of Masons, Knights of
Pythias, Odd Fellows, United Workmen and a Grand Army Post.
The location in Deer Lodge of the College of Montana, St. Mary's Academy
and splendid public schools and churches, together with equable climate and
healthful environments, combine to make it the most desirable place of residence in
Montana.
The distance from Deer Lodge to the following points is:

STOCK RAISING.
There are good stock yards at Deer Lodge for
loading and unloading stock at the railroad.
There is a line foot-hill range for cattle around
Deer Lodge, but it is better for stock men to own
a ranch or range for a valley feeding place in the
winter time. Stlck for the most part will do well
on the range the year 'round, but it Is safer to be
prepared for a hard winter, which, by the way,
has occurred but once in eleven years in this sec
tion. The tendency to-day is to keep fewer and
better animals and provide them with shelter.
This plan has manyadvantages overthe old wily of
allowing stock to run upon the range and "rustle."
Deer Lodge valley is especially adapted to fine
stock raising, and has produced horses of na
tional reputation. This town Is the home of
Poet Scout, High Tariff, Nevada,Montasna Regent,
and Regent, the sire of the latter two, besides
a number of other well known thoroughbreds.
SINKING WELLS.
Water can be had at almost any polnt In the
valley near Deer Lodge at a depth of froin tell to
thirty feet, according to location. The entire val
ley is admirably located for the sinking of arte
sian wells, whIch as yet has beeu unnecessary
because of a liberal supply of sparkling water
froml nmnerous loluntain streams.
GOLD, SILVER AND COPPER MPINES.
The principal isines of Deer Lodge county are
at Granite, 3S miles west of Deer Lodge. Amongi
them are the Granite and Bi-Metallic, which are
ranked as iphenonenal dividend-payers; on Boul
der creek, some few miles this side, is the Royal,
a million-dollar gold proposltion; near George
town, to the south, is the Cable mine, from which
the gold-bugs delight has been taken in great
quantities, and was among the first proslletted
witll a diamond drill; but i few mnles west of An
aconda the Blue-eyed Nellie yields great quanti
ties of silver to its owner. All over tie country
Just enumerated there are hundreds of loattering
prospectls being dieveloped that give great prom
Ise of future returns.
iil addition to the above are the great mines of
Butte. Silver Bow county, but 40 miles distant.
where are located, among others, the great
copl:er- prodncingi groupl of mines belonlgig
to thle Anaconda comopanty. They yield thou
sbands of tons of ore daily, which Is brought by
r;ail to Anacollda, in Deer Lodge county, where it
is treated at the comlpany's works, the largest of
the kind In the world.
New distrlcts are constantly being opened lnd
developed ill Deer Lodge county, her mining ln
dustry being as yet in Its InfaTncy. But it few miles
east and southeast of Deer Lodge are located
iosel and Oro Flll districts, which are surely luld
steadily coming to the front through a liberal sup
ply of Deer Lodge caplt;al. Tile Emery com pallany,
is Naosel district, have slilped thousands of tons
of silver-lead ores, which they haul to the rail
rold at Deer Lodge. while thO ChampioS cam
pany, of Oro Fino district, have now it 20-stamp
mill, located here, working on ore from their
group of leads that will shortly prove a hand
some dividend payer. These two last named dis
tricts are naturally tributary to Deer Lodge, both
being connected by dalily stage liles; In falt they
are her brigit, pr'mlsilng children, their discovery
and develolpment having been accolmplished for
the most part by her citizens.

ers and others every year. The small grains,
vegetables, grasses and hardy fruits grow here to
