VALISES THAT LOOK ALIKE
now HE PROVED THAT HIS wAsN'T uER'S.

II the truDk manufacturers do not
quit making 80 many thousands Of va.
lses exactly alike somebody is going
to get into some awful trouble about il
some time, and some trunk. maker will
be sued for damages enough to build a
court house.
The other day an omnibus full of
passengers drove up from the Union
depot. Side by side sat q commercial
traveller named William Macaby, and
Mrs. Winnie @. Dumbleton, the emf.
nent lady temperance lecturer. When
tho omnibus reached the hotel the
commercial missionary seized his va
lse and started out The lady made
grab after him and he halted.
81 beg your pardon" she said, "but
you have my valise."
MADAM, you are certainly mis-.
takon," the traveller said, eourteously,
but firmly, "this is mine"
"No, sirm the lady replied, ait is
mine; would know It among thou
sand. You must not take it.
But the traveller persisted and the
lady insisted, and they oamo very near
quarreling Presently one of the pas
sengers pointed to a twin valise IN the
omnibus, and asked
"Whose is that?'
at isn't mine" said the traveller, "it
is Just like it, but this is mine"
"And it isn't mine" said the lady,
"he has mine, and I'll have II or I'll
have the law on him. It's a pity if a
lady can't travel alone in this country
without being robbed of her property
in broad daylight"
Finally the traveller said he would
open the valise to prove his property.
The lady objected at first, saying she
did not want her valise opened in the
presence of strangers, But there was
no other means OF settling the dispute,
she at length consented. Tho traveller
sprung tho lock, opened tho valisc,
and the curious crowd bent forward to
see.
On the very top of everything lay
a big fat flask, half full of whisky,
deck OF cards, and one or two other
things that nobody knows the name Of.
The traveller was first TO recover his
selfpossesson and speech. n
"Madam," he said, "you are right
The valise is yours, owe you a
thousand apollo"
But the lady had tainted, and the
traveller relocked his valse with quiet
smile.
Early in the afternoon sign painter
down town received a note in a femi-
nine hand, asking him TO come to the
hotel and mark red leather valise in
black letters a foot and half long
Bwdctte.

are hundreds Of Christian men, who
delight in the worship of God, who
spend from six to twelve hours per
week on the railroad between home
and business. Now, why not utilize
this time to tho glory of God What

the day. Instead Of card tables have
an organ or piano, have the seats ar

DAScING AND ITS EFFEcrs. This is
what tho journal Of Education says
about dancing and its consequent ei'
fects A great deal can be said about
dancing for instance, the Chief OF
Police OF New York city says that
threofourths OF tho abandoned girls
there were ruined by dancing, Young
ladies allow gentlemen privileges in
dancing, which taken under any other
circumstances, would be considered as
improper 1t requires neither brains
nor good morals TO be a good dancer
As the love of one increases the love Of
the other decreases. How many Of
the best men and women are skillful
dancers 2 In ancient times the sexes
danced separately. Alcohol is the
spirit of beverages. So sex is the spirit
OF the dance take it away and let the
sexes dance separately and dancing
would 90 out Of fashion very soon
Parlor dancing is dangerous. Tipping
leads to drunkenness and parlor dane
ings leads to ungodly balls. Tipping
aud parlor dancing SOW TO the wind
and both reap the whirlwigd. Put
dancing in the cruciblc, Apply the acids,
weigh it, and the verdict OF reason,
morality and religion is, weighed in
the balance and found wanting"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The house con-
mlttee on naval affairs has instructed Goode
to amend his resolution so as to instruct the
president to acquire permanent coaling sta
lions on one side Of the Isthmus of Panama
for q. S. naval vessels.
The house committee met and agreed to
make a favorable report to the house OH Del
egate Campbell's bill, which provides that all
The territorial officers iu the several terrific

created by act of territorial legislatures, and
the salaries or fees Of which are payable by
the territory or by the people and not by the
United States, shall be appointed or elected
In such manner as has bsen or may be pro-
Vided by the legislative assemblies of such

ment of the Nc,c Nerth- West. It is ad,er-
tised as a "bulldozer' of the latest improved
southern stock, and the announcement is SOL
EMMY made by its ananager" that "lf 1t is
once started there will be a general overhaul
ing of county lines"
The above is a fair Interpretation of the ar
gument made in the last issue of the valley
paper against the division measure. Since the
commencement of the discussion of this ques-
ten that journal has ignored facts and figures
in referring to it. 1t has rather sought to in
iure the claims of the southern portion ofthis
county by an appeal to the fears, not to the
reason, Of its inhabitants. Early in the con-
t~roversy the NeW North Vest said "The
theory is if Butte should seek to annex por-
lions of Jefferson, BeaveIhead and Madison
so as to give ii u fair area of Territory, the pro-
ject would be opposed by the delegations
from those counties and would fail" Here is
another piece of gratuitous Information.
Butte entertained no theory in regard to this
matter. from the outset she disclaimed any
desire to take an inch of the territory of her
sister counties. Yet our valley cetem would
by artfully worded language convey the i'm
preston that Butte would possess herself of
that to which she had no just claim, and char
acterized the project as a ''luvely scheme"
We submit it to the consideration of every
candid MIND if this is a fair and manly course
TO pursue towards a measure that concerns
the welfare of 5000 souls. We repeat it
Butte rests her claims for a division Of this
county upon the justice of the proposition.
She does not wish to interfere with the lines
of any other county. In the bill before the
legislature which provides for the formation
of Silver Bow county she asks for only 1872
square miles out of 5~,500-abeut one seventh
of the total area of the county. Is this toe
much for the avaricious New North West
to give up? Would 1t not oppose the
division scheme if the lines were drawn at
the outskirts of the town.? We think it
would. 1t cares nothing for the interests of
the people Of Butte. 1t demands that cur
citizens shall daily pay it tribute. 1t is intu-
enced in its opposition by the most mercenary
motives. In the language of one of its edit
ors it a matter of dollars and cents with it.
If the county be divided it will lose a large
portion of the county public printing. The
fear Of losing this printing is the bottom
cause of its antagonizing the measure. We
speak advisedly when we make this charge.
This being the case we are led to infer the
valley paper is prepared to descend to any
level to compass its ends Therefore the
threat that the integrity of other counties
would be jeopardized if this one be divided
may be regarded as one Of the numerous
false representations in which it appears that
journal delights to indulge.
