A Reminder.
"I shall be away a whole year. so I
must give you a keepsake, my pet," he
said, drawing a rather insignificant ring
off his little finger.
"It's not much, Charlie, is it?" she re
marked.
"No, darling. But it isn't the intrin
sic value of the thing that"
"Of course not, dearest," she hurriedly
interposed. "But, my own, if you could
manage to give me a diamond ring I
should be so glad. You see, dear, if I
had a diamond ring I should always be
looking at it, and that would make me
think of you, and I do so want to think
of you when you're awayl"-Quips.
Skeptical
Woman of the House (to her other half)
-Ye will try to boss the runnin of this
house, will ye? The next time ye won't
get off so easy.
Life Insurance Agent (looking in)-I
guess I'll go, for I don't believe he'd be a
good risk.-Life.
Trapped.
The burglar stepped lightly into the
room.
He moved forward in the dark with a
pistolin one hand and a bottle of chloro
form in the other. He was desperate
and ready for anything.
Especially anything to eat.
Suddenly his foot struck something,
and the next second an indefinable body
hurled itself upon him. With a muffled
shriek of fear he dropped his weapons
and grappled with the monster. He
fought and tore, he struck savagely at it
in the dense darkness, but all to no pur
pose.
He was as a child in the awful grasp
of a giant. Only for a moment the un
equal battle raged; then he sank upon
the floor conquered.
They found him the next morning
cold and stiff, but they were too late.
And as the head of the house disentan
gled the wires of his wife's hoopskirt
from about the unfortunate burglar's
neck he said softly: "Poor fellowl Set
it again, Marial"-Truth.
A Curiouis Dispute.
A curious ecclesiastical dispute is pro
ceeding in the little parish of St. Valery
en-Caux in Normandy. The free think
ers of the neighborhood object to enter
ing the church even to attend funerals
or marriages and complain that during
the religious portion of such ceremonies
they are obliged to wait in the various
wvineshops at hand. So they request the
ohurch to build a "neutral shelter" ad
joining the sacred buildings, where they
san wait without violating their opin
ions. The clerical authorities refuse,
mnd the free thinkers propose to take
'egal proceedings.
Couldn't Agree.
"What means this coolness between
Jonson and Joanes-is there a difference
between them?"
"Difference? I should say so! As much
difference as there is between a gentle
man and a donkey."
"H'ml But which is the gentleman
and which the donkey?"
"Well, it is just there where they dif
fer."-Boston Transcript.
Worse Still.
"I'm very tired," said the lady at the
head of the supper table one Sunday
evening.
"You should not be," said her minis
ter, who had been asked in to the even
ing meal; "you haven't preached two
sermons today."
"No," said the lady absentmindedly,
"'but I listened to them."-Yankee Blade.
In Doubt.
Mrs. Clara Foltz, when in San Diego,
had for examination one day a large,
burly Irishman. The idea of being ques
tioned by a woman lawyer was to him a
huge joke, until she began to question
him on personal matters, when, assum
ing a suspicious air, he remarked, "I
don't know yer intentions, mum, but I'm
a married man."-Argonaut.
The Game of Life.
"Dey tells you," said Uncle Eben to
the little boy next d, "r, "dat life am
mos'ly luck; dat it am jes' hke er game
of kyards."
"Yes."
"Well, don't you blebe it. In life dab
ain' no booby prize foh de man dat gits

Nothing Left For Her.

A Chinese Idea of Beauty.
There really seems to be no end to
the queer things which are done by the
women of other countries to make their
faces conform to their own ideas of female
beauty. The feet, as you know, are de
formed in China and Japan, and in some
countries the woman go so far as to press
their children's heads between boards so
as to make them flat, because they con
sider flat heads pretty and far superior
in beauty to the natural shape. The In
dian women thickly smear their heads
with bears' fat. The Turkish women al
most without exception color their hair
red. In Greenland the women color
their faces blue and yellow. The women
and children of Guzurat stain their teeth
black, while the ladies of India and
Japan gild their teeth and make them as
brilliant as possible. But it remains for
the Chinese to do something which we
in our country would consider very bar
barous and cruel indeed.
The Chinese do not admire small eyes,
and to reach their standard of beauty a
girl's eyes must be hot only very large,
but very long and brilliant. The eyes
are easily made brilliant by putting cer
tain drugs in them, but to make them
long when nature has not intended them
to be so is quite another matter. To ac
complish it the women have often re
course to a kind of home surgery which
must be very painful. A Chinese mother
who has a child affected with small eyes
takes the child at the age of 10 or 12 and
slits the eyelid at the corner, just where
It joins the lower lid. A very small slit
is made, and this is then left to heal. As
soon as it is healed it is slit again, and
this process is continued until the eyes
appear very long and prominent.-Ex
change.
Detective Work as a Profession.
The growth of the detective profession
has been brought home to us by a recent
publication in an evening contemporary.
A private detective office in London was
reported to have sent out an extraordi
nary number of detectives-as they
doubtless prefer to be called-for em
ployment at the Chicago exhibition, and
our contemporary had interviewed the
chief of the office upon the subject. The
number of detectives actually likely to
be employed on this occasion proved to
be very much smaller than was at first
reported, but for all that they were suffi
ciently numerous to prove a fairly large
demand for their services.
In other respects, however, the account
that this gentleman gave of his business
was of interest, though the interest was
not always of a pleasant kind. He sug
gested that a use for his men would :e
found by financiers and business men,
who might require secret agents "work
ing in business transactions-finding out
market secrets, inventions, watching
what speculators are doing and that
sort of thing," and he assured his hearers
that "that sort of thing is becoming
much more general in England."
We are sorry to hear it for the credit
of English commerce. Most of them, he
admitted, would do "private work-so
cial matters needing investigation and
things of that sort." "That sort of
thing," and "things of that sort" are
somewhat indefinite expressions; never
theless, under the circumstances, they
are quite definite enough. Our imagina
tion is equal to the task of filling in the
blank, though it is hardly equal to our
distaste for the blank when filled in.
London Spectator.
A Poor Man and Hiis Dog.
"I was just watching a negro that
passed by here a few minutes ago with
a dog tied to a string," said Christian
Banl.s to a reporter at the Lindell. "If
there is anything that is really humor
ous, it is to see a negro affectionately
leading a dog that hasn't any affection
for him at all, and doesn't want to have,
either. The garb was, as usual, indica
tive of the fact that the negro had little
else to do except to take care of the dog.
His hands were almost hidden by the
length of his coat sleeves, and the coat
itself hung in rich, heavy folds over the
shoulders and back in a manner more
comfortable than graceful. The pants
looked like segmented cloth rings, piled
one on top of the other from the ground
up. They must have been warm.
"And there was that poor unpedigreed
purp slouching along after in an hum
ble, respectful way that was, however,
only measured by the length of the
string and the strength and toughness of
it. Occasional jerks on the cord that
pulled the dog's neck skin nearly over
its head, and a 'come along, now; doan'
you go foolin wif me,' indicated to the
obedient animal that it was expedient to
move along in this world. I just won
der now what a poor negro wants with
a lean, lank dog. It's the old proverb
over and over again, 'Misery loves com
pany.' "-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Ten Pence For a Seat In Parliament.
Candidates for parliamentary honors
who have groaned under the heavy bur
den of election expenses will regard with
envy the cheap means by which Mr. Dav
itt secured his seat for Cork. All the
money that Mr. Davitt expended was 10
pence, the cost of a telegram aclmowledg
ing the official intimation of his return.
Of course it must be remembered that
Mr. Davitt's election was unopposed, but
not every member who enjoys a walkover
can boast that his seat cost him less than
a shilling. Ten pence is believed to be
the lowest sum recorded, and it might
have been reduced to a penny if Mr.
Davitt had been content to use the post
instead of the telegraph wire.-London
Tit-Bits.
Scheme of a Clever Yankee.
The custonimry large supply of punched
and mutilated-coin in the national banks
of this city, accumulated on Mondays
from the treasurers of the different
churches, has run-very low of late.
shrewd young man went around a few
weeks ago and bought it up at about 80
cents on a dollar, and then went and
reveled in the luxuries of Cuba, where
punched coin of the United States brings
a premium of about 10 cents on a dollar
on account of the difficulty of keeping
perfect coin on the island.-Springfield

One of Africa's Latest Marvels.
Only five years ago a magnificent har
borwas discovered at the mouth of the
Pnngwe river, about 115 miles below the
Zambesi delta. It is about two miles
wide and six miles long and on its north
ern shore has arisen the town of Beira,
where 500 Europeans, half of them Brit
ish,.are now living. Beira is one of Af
rice's latest marvels. Probably no white
man six years ago had ever seen the bar
ren promontory of saind it occupies. On
Nov. 28,. i892, a locomotive that had been
put together in Beira puffed through one
of the streets and· a little way out of the
town, for Beira is to be the port of Ma
shonaland, the region of mountain and
plateau, where British enterprise is open
ing new goldfields.
A month ago 35 miles of the railroad
had been completed. The route fornear
ly half the way to Massikesse lies 4long
the Busi river. Its total length is less
than 200 miles, its longest bridge has a
span of about 300 feet, and the cost of the
road is estimated at about$5,000,000. The
Mozambique company, a Portuguese cor
poration, is carrying out the work, but
by arrangement the British South Africa
company is to have certain privileges in
the management of the road and will
build an extension from the Portuguese
frontier at Massikesse to Fort Salisbury,
the seat of government in Mashonalaud.

A Hard Winter For Adirondack Deer.
Those who have recently visited the
Adirondacks say the past winter has been
a severe one for deer, owing to the heavy
falls of snow, and that many have died
in consequence. A gentleman who came
from Harrisville on the railroad says he
saw a large back lying exhausted in the
deep snow beside the railroad track.
Deer are reported as in very poor flesh.

DEER LODGE:
-IS TIIHE-
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 incorpo
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:
To Butte ..................................40 miles To Granite .......... ........... 38 miles
To Anaconda ..............................29 miles To Pllllpsburge..................... miles
To Helena .............. .......43 miles Io Plmneer......................18 miles
STOCK RAISING.
There are good stock yards at Deer Lodge for
loading and unloading stock at the raliroad.
There is i fine foot-hill range for cattle around
Deer Lodge, but It is better for stock men to uwn
a ranch or range for a valley feeding place in the
winter time. Stock 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 many advantages over the old way 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 tie home of
Poet Scout, High Tariff, Nevada,Montana Regent,
and Regent, tile sire of the latter two, besides
a numbc.r of other well known thoroughbreds.
SINKING WELLS.
Water can be had dt almost any point in the
valley near Deer Lodge at a depth of fromn tell to
thirty feet, accordling to location. The entlreril
ley Is admirably located for the sinking of irte
sian wells, which as yet has been unnecessary
because of a liberal supply of sparkling water
troi numeuerous mlountai streoans.
GOLD, SILVER AND COPPER MSINES.
The srincipal mines of Deer Lodge county are
at (ranite, 38 milies west of Deer Lodge. Alnong
them are the Granite and Bi-Metalllc, which are
ranked as phesnomenal dividend-payers; oil Boul
der creek, some few miles this side, Is the Royal,
s mnllloin-dollar gold proposition; near George
town, to the south, is the Cable mine, from which
the gold-hbugs delight hlas been taken in great
quanintites, and was among tlie first prospected
with a diamnond drill; hut n few miles west of An
aiconda tihe Blue-eyed Nellie yields great quanti
ties of silver to its owner. All over the country
Just enumerated there are hundreds of flattering
prospects being developed that give grelat prom
ise of fulture returns.
In addition to the above are the great mines of
Butte, Silver Bow county, hut 40 miles distamt,
where aire located, among others, the great
coppler-producing group of mines belongi.gu
to the Anaconda company. They yield thou
sands of toils of ore daily, wvhich is brought by
rail to Anaconda, in Deer Lodge counlty where it
Is treated at tile comLpany1s' works, the largest of
the kind is the world.
New districts are sonstantly being opened and
developed ii Deer Lodge counlty, her mining In
duistry being as yet in its infancy. But a few nmiles
east and southeast of Deer Lodge are located
Zosel and Oro Fino districts, which are sorely aud
steadily onsing to the front through a liberal suli
ply of Deer Lodge cptital. Tile nEmery company,
in Zosel district, have shipped thousands of tols
of silver-lead ores, whichl they haul to the rail
road at Deer Lodge, while the Chalmplon coln
pailny, of Ore Piso district, havie now sa 20-stampis
mill, located here, working on ore fromn their
group of leads that will shortly prove a hand
some dividend poayer. These two last snamed dis
tricts are naturally trlbutary to Deer Lodge, both
beling connected by daily stage lilies; ill fact they
are her bright, prsinlslng children, their discovery
and development Ihaving been accomplished for
tine miost piart by her citizens.
