Change Of Time.

Gilmer g. Salisbury, it is reliably stated,
will soon make a great improvement in stage
time between here and the terminus. During
the winter months it has been customary for
the up stage to lay over at Watson for twelve
that point only long enough to change horses
and take a meal. The coach will thus run
into Butte about midnight and will run
through to Helena the day following. The
time from the terminus will be only twenty
four hours. Gilmer s. Salisbury are entitled
to the thanks of the travelling public.

DEER LODGE NOTES,

New North West, April 9TH
Fifteen ball pool is one of the attractions
OF the Metropolitan saloon, a recent introduce
ton in the way of games in our village.
Spring poetry is in order now. In this
connection it might be well to remark that
we do not need any just at present.
Should the present issue commend itself to
our readers as more than usually interesting,
the cause may be attributed to the absence of
the editor-in-chief.
Among names recently placed Oh our sub
scription books is that of W. Boyce Edgar, a
former resident of st. Louis, and now one OF
the prosperous sheep raisers of the valley.

"It is assured without them tosa certain
extent, but is assured much sooner with them.
The MINER has every reason to boast of the
superior mineral resources of the camp over
those of any other section of the Coast, and
were it possible for me to break loose from
my present business obligations elsewhere, 1
should at once hasten to the Summit Valley
district, for the chances to make money by
legitimate mining operations here are much
better than in any camp in which I have ever
operated

Will you please mail me "a copy or two of
the MINER, ard also give me any information
you can in regard to the country out there?
Do you thlnk it a good place for a poor young
man to go to? Is work plenty, so that a per-
son would be sure of obtaining employment
after he got there? Is there any call for un-
skilled labor; or principally mechanics?
Would a printer be likely to obtain emplc,-
ment, or are there plenty of them? Does
not the extra cost of living, clothes, ETC.,
more than make up for the difference m
wages? Do you think a person would be
more likely to get work at paying wages and
do better there than he would here East?
IS there any chance for a person without
.apital or experience making anything at
mining, or is the field so taken up now HAT
it is necessary to have both? What are town
lots worth, as a general thing, in the towns
and cities there? Are there any places that
you know of likely to become quite important
and thriving towns sometime in the near
future, where property could now be had
cheap, and if so, what and where are they ?
What part of the Territory would you advise
a person to go to, as most likely to obtain
work and get along with nothing but his
muscle TO aid him? Do you know anything
of the opportunities and advantages of the
other States and Territories around there,
and do you think a person could do as well
or better in Montana as IN Colorado, Idaho,
Utah. Wyoming or Nevada? If you will
kindly answer the above questions, or such of
them as you cam, and give me any other
information you can that will be useful to
me, you will oblige me very much.
remain Yours respectfully, etc.

DUEI IN TIE DARK:

The first time that Napoleon III. saw
Rossi on the stage he sent DR.. COnneau
off with orders to bring the "mighty
tragedian" TO him at once, and said to
him: ,.,
"Monsieur, am not easily affected,
but own that in the last scene you
singularly moved ME. You must have
made DesdemOna suffer horribly when
you buried your nails In her throat
her cries of agony were too natural. i"
"Sire," replied Posi-, "the artists
who act with me are accustomed to sac
rtfice everything to their roles. 1t is
possible thGt bore little heavily upon
Desdemona's throat, but no one who
has ever played her part has dared to
tell me So"
Rossl is in the plentitude Of force and
talent, and singularly enough for an
Italian attributes his remarkable pres
ervation to his cold, morning bath which
no severity OF season ever interferes
with. Perhaps the very sober life he
leads has as much to do with 1t as the
cold bath. II his proposed visit to
America comes to pass Doubt II he be
prevailed upon to take one single drink
at the inevitable bar. At Cassale
during farewell representations the
court society chattered so loud as to in
terfere with the representation. ROssi
who was playing Hamlet, came to
full stop in the middle of a sentence,
and turning towards a front box from
which the greatest noise came, he bow
ed and said TRANQUILITY, 81 shall hush
as long as you do not hush" The pub
lie appauded the interruption ceased,
and the play went on, but afterwards
Rossi was met at the door by one or the
young gentlemen who felt called upon
to ask satisfaction. Rossi made long
face, for lie was expected on the NOR
row at Milan. So he explained his stu
alton to his blOOdthirsty adversary, and
begged that in order to get through with
their little affair as speedily as possible
they should go to his (ROssi's) rooms
al the hotel aud quietly shoot at one an
other there. The proposition having
been acceded to, they went to Rossl's
rooms, and had just placed themselves
at either end Of the salon in order to eX-
change three shots, when the inn keep
er, over anxious as to his guests health
and hours, knocked at the door (Which
he found locked and asked IN an anS-
ious voice, it Monsieur was III, as his
light burned so unusually late.

"You are deceiying me," persisted
his anxious keeper, perhaps enlighten-
ed as to the scene in the theatre. You
are certainly III.

TIE EREGIMENI;S PIG.

Soldiers are fond of pets. A dog at
tached to a regiment is sure of kind
treatment. He may be ucbOdy's dog,
but he is every body's fayorite. Some
times the soldiers fancy strange pets,
An eagle, "Old Abe" was the pet OF
u Wisconsin regiment, during the civil
war. In the great review held at Wash
ingtou at the close of the war, many
veterans were observed carrying favor
ite crows and 'possums.
But the strangest pet that ever at
tracted a regiments fancy was q pig.
She attached herself to a Kentucky regi-
nent on the way to invade Canada, dur.
ing the war of 1912. ...,.
As the men marched out from Har-
rodsburg, one morning they came across
two pigs fighting. They halted to see
it out. When tile march was resumed,
the victorious pig followed the regiment.
When they encamped at night, the pig
halted aud found shelter.
The next morning the pig started with
the regiment, and when it stopped the
pig halted Day by day it trotted along
until the Ohio river was reached. A
ferry boat tranported the troops to Gin
cinnati, but the pig swan the stream
and waited on the other side until the
regiment took up its line of march.
During the long tramp to the lake
piggy received her full share Of ratio us.
Occasionally the men were put on short
commons, bnt no one thought of stick
ing the regiments pet,
When they came to the lakes shore
piggy was offered a passage across to
Canada. She refused to stir from
American soil.
"That pig" said witty soldier, To-
ferring TO an opinion then held by some
tnat no militia man could be eonstitu-
tlonally compelled to leave his native
soil to invade foreign country THAT
pig has constitutional scruples. She is
a militia pig, and she won't cross the
boundary line"
When the campaign closed, the troops
recrossed to the American side, where
they had left their horses. As the line
was being formed, a familiar grunt was
heard. There was piggy ready b re-
sumo the march. on the hOmeward
way the pig suffered greatly from the
cold weather. IL crossed, however, tho
Ohio river, aud then gave out.
But Gov. Shelby, OF Kentucky, had
piggy conveyed TO his farm, and there
She passed her days la Incidence and

HiiM0R ON NEWSPAPERS.

An American journalist possesses a
fund ofdry humor which he knows how

better. A Californian editor invested

IL COLIlATERAL,v

The other day one of the postnffice
brighde of bootblacEs desired to raise a
loan of eight cents, and after some look
ing around he found Little English, who
was perfectly willing to advance the
amount, providing he was secured. The
borrower had no collateral and in this
emergency the advice of Jack Shepard
was called for.
Easiest thing in the world when you
understand finance" replied Jack.
"You watt to borrow eight cents? "
"Yes."
"Wcll, yod hand over ten cents as Sc.
curity that you will pay it back"
The two sums changed lands, and
the borrower scratched his head and
slowly asked /:
"IIow does this come? / haven't
got as much as I hal before borrowed
any,"
Tlien the others scratched their heads
and looked puzzled, but Jack suddenly
got the idea.
''It's the collateral business that does
it !" he confidently announced. "It's
a long word aud liable TO shriukage,
and if you're only two cents short you've

And so the famous duel was fought,
in which ROssi had the good luck to

has only one old servant he has ever
been able to retaip, his irritable temper
and capricious orders putting all others
out of temper. This faithful Sancho
Panza only succeeds by assuring his
master that tho hundred orders given
in as many mindtes are all executed,
and Rossi, having forgotten all save the
last is satisfied. Like most geniuse5, he
believes he has a greater talent than his
own, and never fails to affirm that had
he to begin life anew, he would be a
tenor, and therefore is disposed to en-
tertain his visitors with any amount OF
bad music thinking to give them bet
ter entertainment than by recting any
of his wonderful parts.

TIE POISONOUS WAVE.
A TEMPKRANtE POEM.

Dark flows the fated and poisoned wave,
While storm and Sorrow around II rave,
No verdant meadows beside It bloom
Nor flowers mingle their sweet perfumes
While blent like rain In its fitful foam,
Are tears from many a ruined home.
Voice after voice in prayers and tears
Send warming through the tieeting years.
Yet darker than the tide Of death
More cruel than its blighted breath,
The vengeful spirit Of the storm
Is stronger than the tones that warn
Still standing on the sheltered shore
Love beckons to the lost once more,
And yearning DER the darkening deep
Her tender memories watch and weepi
While the wild surges' wrathful roll
Strikes terror to her anguished soul.
Dark looms the sky, the thunder's tone
rs heard above the breakers moan;
Heavy and dark and wild the night,
Immortal man is borne from light.
Alas what arm Is Strong to save
The victim from the poisoned waveY
In vain the signal beacons burn
To guide the wanderers return,
who lulled in dark and death-like sleep,
Drift helpless on the stormy deep,
TIL In the whirlpool tempest tossed,
Life, fame and fortune all are lost.
And still with wreck the shore is strewn
Like withered leaves of autumn blown;
No light shines on the fearful night
And hopes bright star is lost to sight,
While on the pinions of the storm
The vultures vice and crime are borne.
In hut and hall they wave their wand
Where broad Atlantic laves the strand
And the cool breezes Of the north
Beyond the green hills wander forth;
And where the savannas lie =,
In beauty meath the southern sky;
And where amid the western void
The earth yields up her hidden gold.
q nation, in thy strength awake;
The slumber from thy eyelids shake,
And raise a bulwark strong and wide
To BACKYARD beat the poisoned tide;
Nor cease the work till DER our shore
This wave shall ebb and flow no more.
Then, not till then, the land shall be
The refuge of the saved and free,
Statesman and patriot wise and pure,
And life, and law, and peace secure.
