b Earnest Affair Between an Edi tor and a Young Man. Arknw Traveler, 50,iie time ajjo an Arkansaw pa per published an article concerning ;, well known politician. There was an evident lack of compliment in the article, and thtjuolitician was grieved. Calling: his son, a young man who was studying for the ministry, the faber said : "Son, during your theological studies you did not neglect your mus cle, did you ?" "No," replied the young man, rolling up his sleere and displaying well developed arm. 'I am pleased to see that you have neglected nothing that may be of uie in your business. The editor of the weekly Lash, a paper pub lished over in Longhorn county, has insinuated that I am a liar and an eminently recognized thict. I do not think that in justice to our fami ly pride I can allow such a departure from pleasantry to go unpunished. I am not feeling very well, myself, and I would like for you to go over and maul the gen tleman." "I will go," replied the young man, "mainly to be revenged, but partly to exercise myself, especially, as I have an appointment to preach in an irreligious neighborhood next Sunday, and will want practice." The youny man went. When he entered the office he found the editor feeding a 'possum that he had put into a barrell for fattening purpos es. 'I am the son of the noted Mr. Latkins," said the young man ad vancing. "Oh, you son-of-a-gun," mused the editor. "Are you talking to me?" "No : I was addressing the pos sum. "You have slandered my father and I can maul the iniquity out of you." "You are the biggest tool I ever saw." "Are you addressing me?" "I'm talking to the possum' "Prepare yourself for a death struggle. "I'll choke the life out of you in a minute." "Me?" "The possum. " "Defend yourself." "Look out?" The struggle was characterized by and impressive earnestness. The young man suffered. The next day the noted politician received a letter wrapped around the lorn fragment ot a human ear. The letter read : ''Enclosed please find the remains of your son." A Mother's Love. A gentleman who arrived in Hutte M. T., Thursday night, from Mis soula, related to a Miner reporter the following story of hardships encoun tered bv the iucoming Missoula stage, Wednesday night. He says a lady passenger was only prevented from pershing in the passage over Flint creek hills, thirty-five miles west of Deer Lodge, by the prompt and heroic remedy applied by the driver. The lady was accompanied hy a 3-year-old chick, and as the cold became more intense, with motherly instinct she took her own wraps to protect the child, until her own shoulders were covered only with a thin shawl, which was en tirely insufficient to ward off the freezing wind. The premonitory drowsiness was soon observed, and H became evident that the woman would freeze unless prompt action ws taken to revive the circulation of her concealing veins and arteries. The driver was notified, and without saying a word, .immediately lifted the woman out of the coach, and, loving her by the roadside, mount ed the box and drove off. The la dy afterward said she was too much benumbed, bcth physically and men- Wly, to take in the situation, but she realized her child was being carried away from her, and started to run after the stage. The driver uiain kined sufficient speed to keep a lit tle ahead of the distracted mother tora distance of about three miles, when he topped ant! helped her in t the coach. She was wrapped m blankets and overcoats offered by the gentlemen passengers, and mad the balance of the trip without fur ther suffering from cold. MISSOURI MATTERS.
