The Professor and the Parasol.

We are acquainted with a good-na-
tured, and at the same time, astute old
professor, who maintains that it is quite
impossible for man to properly and
correctly hold parasol over the head of
an attractive Young lady. He himself
has wrestled successfully with Pliny,
Plato and Sophocles; he has written
historical works; he understands many
languages; he is well posted in philoso-
ply, psychology and metaphysics; but
when it comes to holding parasol so
that the shade will slumber on the feat
ures of a lady, he freely admits that he
is at sea, and that every university in
the land should add to its other attrac-
tions a parasol chair.
Last Summer he took walk in Cen
trail Park with a young lady. Before he
had journeyed very far she intrusted her
parasol to him. He held it over her most
esthetically for about five minutes, and
then it shifted out of position, and his
arm began to tremble.
"You are not shading me at all"
she lisped most melodiously, "vou are
throwing all the shade on that horse over
there"
The professor apologized, and once
more got the parasol where 1t would do
the most good. 1t was beginning to get
little heavier. His arm trembled like
an aspen. He though he was carrying a
keg of nails.
Snow, then, you goose" she broke in,
you'll have me all srn-burned directly.
Hold it up SO; seef
The professor saw. He was longing
for chance to get under a tree SO he
could get a rest, but she would not go
near one; she had an idea that a good
sun bath was just what she needed.
as not that lovely sceneF she war
bled; ''just look at the pretty stretch Of
waving grass dotted with flowers"
Delightful, delightful" replied the
Professor, as he worked his other hand
around and deposited his elbow on it, so
that his parasol arm would not drop out
by the roots.
"And there's that little herd of sheep
calmly grazing-well, now, l declare,
Henry, that parasol is all out Of the
way; can't you hold it forward little
more p
He does as directed, but only places
himself in more painful position.
"Won't you have some ice cream,
Maudie?' he whispers, in the hope Of
getting into a saloon in which he can
rest his arm.
al never touch it," she replies.
He would like to change hands first
rate, but he doesn't want to admit his
misery. He feels so weak that his shirt
sucks to his back, and his collar seems to
evaporate. His heart beats liketh minute
hand of clock. He braces himself and
actually uses his feet to keep the shade
machine in position, and then she calm
" takes it from him and tells him that
men don't know anything, anyhow. He
lets her take it and puts his hand in his
coat pocket, as if he feels that it can't
support its own weight.
When they 60 out together now she
holds the parasol. He let's her do it,
too, for they are married now.

Steamer Yellowstone Disaster.

On the 4th inst. the steamer Yellowstone
was sunk on Buffalo Rapids. about twelve
miles below Keogh, in six feet of water.
A telegram from DIR. Lamme to the firm
here, sent Immediately after the accident,
reports that most, if not all, the goods on
deck would be saved and the freight in the
hold would also be secured, but in a dam
aged condition. Subsequent dispatches
lead us to infer that most of the goods in
the hold, on account Of the rapid rising of
the river, will be total loss. When sunk.
the cargo of the boat consisted of about
$50 tons of general merchandise, large
proportion of which belonged to A. LAM
me & Co. and the remainder to Frank
Harper, Engelfried 4 Esler, Geo. Il >'ich-
OILS, j. II. Taylor, and L. b. Warf I'D, all
of Bozeman. All insured, except, perhaps.
Taylor and Warfield. 1t is not known here
whether the boat is insured or not, but the
general suppositiOn is, that she is, at least
partially. In any event, the probable loss
of the boat and a portion Of her cargo,
will result in great inconvenience and loss,
not only to the owners Of the bOat-A.
Lamme & Co. and Nelson Story--but also
to the other business men of the town
whose goods happen to be on the unfor
tunate steamer.

Strange Freak of Ehtning ut Hunt
ley. Montana.

Editor Arant Courier:
Firth Il Coad's store at this place was
struck by lightning on the evening of the
25th ult. AS there was no thunder, it is
likely it came from the earth. The store
was considerably damaged, knocking the
plastering off the walls and tearing a gr at
rent in the shingles. Mr.. Coad, being the
only person in at the time, received quite a
severe shock, from which, however, he
soon recovered. The most curious thing
of all is, this is the second time this year
he has had close shave. His cabin was
struck about ten months ago and tree
twenty feet away split into kindling wood.
He says he saw stars that time, but the last
call he saw distinctly the moons of Saturn
playing base ball with his head. Mr.. Coad
says there is more than accident in all this,
and if this thing is continued he will have
to join the church or make pilgrimage
to the National Park-but as there are no
churches here, he talks continually of start
ing little one of his own.

Encouraging Progress

On Friday afternoon last we spent an
hour and half in Mr.. Wylie's department
of the graded school, and We're highly en-
tertained with the exercises. The pupils
had been requested to prepare short essays
the day before, and most of them were
read while we were there. Nearly all OF
the productions read showed considerable
originality and real genius on the part OF
the writers, while in several instances the
compositions were almost faultless in their
strict conformity to the rules of grammar.
We have seldom. if ever, seen pupils adj
vance with as great rapidity as those of
the advanced department in our graded
school during the past nine months. The
same, in fact. may be said in regard to the
intermediate and primary departments.
