The Customer who is always Short.

There is still another class Of custom
ers that 1t may be well TO speak #.
This class never pick up anything in
the store, but they frequently fall a
few cents short Of having money e.
Dough to pay for what they purchase.
If, when they come in again, they are
reminded by Ihe storekeeper of It, they
are very apt to 60 off in a huff, and
pronounce Mr.. Blank the meanest man
they ever knew, because he actually
dunned them for five or ten cents; and
yet that FIVE oC ten cents may be more
than his profit amounts to on the ar
ticle. A law suit in this city recently
revealed the fact that some years ago
there was man living here who, al
though quite wealthy, WAS exceedin Sly
penurious. He was daily customer
at certain store, and always managed
to te from three to ten cents short of
the amount to pay his bill. Tho store
keeper asked him several times for the
small amounts that were due, but he

book in which were entered the ar

Was continued for some two or three
years, when the customer died and the
storekeeper presented his claim, which
amounted TO nearly one hundred dol
lars, to the executors, and recovered
every d0llar.-EE.

A Baby Clutches a Wildcats
Tail.
From the Helena Herald

From the Helena Herald.
An almost famished wildcat few
days ago appeared In the midst Of a
flock of sheep In the valley near Big
Hole, M. r., and selected rne lamb
from the flock. The owner of the
sheep was attracted to the scene by the
noise Of his dog. He found the cat
usy devouring the lamb and his little
three year-old son clutching the tail Of
the cat, attempting to pull it off, and
tie dog barking and scampering a
round it. He soon removed his little
boy from his perilous position and dis
patched the wildcat With his rifle.
A Preachers PLAIN WORDS
That was a pleasant way in which a
newly settled Methodist minister dis
armed the criticism Of the people in
the congregation to which he had been
sent. Instead of getting angry about
it, or complaining that they had hurt
his feelings, he remarked from the pull
pit: II hear that you say l am not
much of preacher: well, | know it,;
and know that if | could preach first
rate | would not have been sent here
to preach to such a lot of ignoramuses
as you" The church folks were struck
with a new sense of the fitness of
things as regulated by the admir able
machinery of Methodism for adapting
means to ends.

AT 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon,
the Legislative Assembly of this
Territory will meet in regular semi
annual session. The hour for as
sembling is fixed by law. The sit
tings will be in the City Hall, and
each branch viii occupy the same
hall as it did at the last session.
The number Ot Legislators has
been reduced, and some of the
attaches, but the time during which
the session may be held. has been
extended TO sixty instead of forty
days as heretofore. The officers
now provided for by government
are, for each branch: one chief clerk,
sergeant-at-arInS, an enrolling
clerk, d watchman, a messenger, a
page and a chaplain. No assistant
clerks are provided for, and no en-
crossing clerks. These however,
may be provided for the Legislature
and paid out of the funds of the
Territory. Acting Governor
Thomas has made all the prepare
tions within his power, and attended
to all the cOnvenienceS possible. It
is not known what will be the
character of his message, but it is
expected that it will be brief, and
touch upon matters of INTEREST in a
general way. 1t is pretty well
understood that he will send a mes
sage. If the members would only
get to work at any reasonable time,
there would be no need for consum-
ing the sixty days allowed, and the
customary rush at the end of the
session would be obYiated. f

LATEST KILOGRAMS
silver Sentiment.

New York, THE Grophic's
Washington correspondent says: L..
Dana Horton, of Ohio, is in the city
on his way home from Europe,
where he. was in attendance upon
the international monetary congress.
He expresses the opinion that when
the congress meets again in april,
there is a probability of favorable
action with reference to silver. He
says since the adjournment Of the
congress. and especially since the
publication of the Presidents mes
sage there has sprung up favorable
feeling towards silver. He thinks
it is growing in England especially.
1t appears that European fnanciers
have become somewhat alarmed for
fear this country will change its
policy, and decline further to sus-
tain the value of the metal alone,
in the face of opposition by the rest
of the world. sE st
