A Park on Mount Helena.
It is said the owners of the land em
bracing Mount Helena are soon to make
use of it and turn its altitudinous summit
to good advantage. The plan proposed,
we understand, contemplates the eonstruc
tion of a wagon road from the city to the
summit of the Mountain and the trans
forming of the dizzy height into a park or
place of resort for the citizens of the cap
ital. The road will wind around the
mountain and make the ascent with an
easy grade that can be traveled by teams
and carriages without difficulty. The
plans are not yet perfected, but will prob- 1
ably include the erection, pf summer
houses and other buildings on the spot, so
that one of the possibilities of the near fu
ture will be frequent picnics to the top of 1
Mount Helena, where our people can 1
dance, roll ten pins, eat sandwiches, drink 1
lemonade and indulge in other excursion- t
istic pastimes at an altitude of 6,000 feet
above sea level.--Herald.
Honor Where Honor is Due.
r- John W. Mackay was recently snonwed
Ts in at Colfax, Cal., on an east-bound train.
ly Mr. Mackay was in a hurry to get through
into Nevada, and offered $1,000 to go
1h through with the snow-plows. The offer
was accepted, and word was wired from
the Central Pacific office in San Francisco
to turn over the amount to the Railroad
Hotel, at Colfax, to be devoted to needy
"r passengers who were snowed in there.
r- Many in need of assistance were hunted
n up, housed, and well fed for ten days. One
poor woman with two children, on the
train, bound for Omaha, was entirely des
L1 titute of the necessaries of life, and she
e and her children silently suffering from
`r hunger. Mackay found three other poor
women on the train, and gave each of them
e $100. The recipients cried like children,
a and the scene on the train is described as
a very affecting. This is the true fraternal
sentiment--though the sweet, white flower
is found growing outside of any order.
I It Didn't Work.
A St. Paul correspondent sends to the
Independent an account of how a Montana
boy plucked a St. Paul realty boomer
which is worth repeating:
"The young man caime east -loaded
down with cash and drafts to a pretty
substantial amount, for lie was aut to
purchase a good many r uch supplies and
in addition a few blooded cattle, if he
found any to his liking. Being a genial
and open-hearted fellow, he num'ers quite
a circle of friends among the gil!ed youth
of St. Paul, and they s.arted in to how
him a good time. nl doing it t:yer con
sumed a good deal of ciampaguc, :.:d in
the freedom of conversa:tion that followed
it was developed that the Montanian had
some spare thousands on his person and
was not averse to a little game of draw.
The boys immediately made a break for
the Merchants, and the game speedily be
gan with five players, including a promi
ner banker, a wholesale merchant, and a
w, yreal estieman. The ame wais a
pre ty tlff one, a otlisr fnte andi no limit,
but that is the kind they play in this par
tipular St. Pait circle, and of, bourse the6

Ys along in an uneventful way for an hour or
two, and then the fun began. It was a
jack pot, and the Montanian, who may be
called Cores, because that isn't his name,
was dealing. The first man couldn't open,
ie nor could the second, but the real estate
it man on skinning his hand found an ace
d, full, and accordingly hit it for $50. Cores
c- glanced carelessly at his hand and raised
le the $50 a cool $100, which was immedi
,s- ately covered by the St. Paulite. Then it
)r came to cards, but the real estate man did
P- not want any, and, in order to be accom
le modating, Montana said he would do like
n wise. St. Paul immediately sized up
is Montana for a flush, which his ace full
1e would knock sky high, and consequently
b- bet them for all they were worth. The
'r wagering was promptly met by Montana
1o with a raise of a neat $100 at every clip,
I- until finally when $1,000 were on the
>f board St. Paul called. Montana had been
n freezing to four little deuces all the time
and the ace full was nowhere. 'Ihe game
lagged then, and the St. Paul bays soon
1- took their leave not very well satisfied
t with their attempt to work a Montanian
for his roll."
