THE Troy Times has this doubtful
paragraph: MRS. Phil. Sheridan is
petite, red-haired and spunky. She
thinks Phil. the handsomest man in the
country, and it is related of her that,
thoroughly disguised with a portrait Of
her husband, painted by an artist not
unknown to fame, she drove to the
generals headquarters one day during
his temporary absence, entered his pri-
vate office, and with u paint brush COM
pletely oblIterated the features.r

A Premature Decision.

The Superior Court was in session in
one of the lower counties of the circuit,
and the solicitor, with the counsel for
defense, were engaged in the selection
of jury for the trial of o man charged
with murder
AS usual in such cases, some difficulty
was experienced in obtaining jury, and
the court was getting tired of such
tedious proceedings.
Gall the next Juror, Mr.. Clerk" said
the solicitor for the hundredth time.
The clerk called out the man, and an
old man with an honest face and q suit
of blue jeans clothes rose up in his
place, and the solicitor asked the fol-
lowing customary questions:
Have you, from having seen the
crime committed, or having heard any
of the evidence delivered under oath,
formed or expressed an opinion as to
the guilt or innocence of the prisoner
at the bar?"
"No, sir"
"Is there any bias or prejudice rest
ing on your mind for or against the
prisoner at the bar?"
@None, SIR"
"Is your mind perfectly impartial be-
tween the State and the accused?"
"It is"
"Are you opposed to capital punish
ment?"
"I'm not"
All the questions had been answered
and the court was congratulating itself
on having another juror, and the solic-
itor in solemn tones said:
Juror, look upon the prisoner-pris-
oner, look upon the juror"
The old man adjusted his spectacles,
and peeringly gazed at the prisoner for
fully half minute, when he turned his
eyes toward the court and earnestly
said:
Judge, I'll be condemned if 1 don't
believe he's guilty."
1t is useless to add that the court
was considerably exasperated at having
lost juror, but the more humorous in
clined had good laugh out of the old
mans premature Elberton

Few things give such full returns for
the money they cost as does tobacco TO
the smoker. Money is only valuable
because it can be exchanged for some
thing else. We cannot eat it, but 1T
can give us delicious dinners. The
castaway on q desert island would
starve though he had millions in kegs,
if his gun did not find him means to
satisfy his hunger. Money is not beauti-
full. 1t decorates our houses, but We
must go to the shop first. II all the
smokers were to stop smoking, and the
tobacco money went to the Government.
we could wipe out the national debt
and have enough money left to engage
in q new war, and create O new debt
that our immediate posterity might not
be left without that blessing. II there
were no smokers, and the money spent
for smoking was not diverted, we could
feed the poor. Equally SO could these
benefits be accomplished did we refrain
from other costly habits and use our
means strictly as philanthropists. I
would not gainsay these truths. 1t can
not be argued that evil to others re-
suits from smoking. Men have drunk,
have gambled, have speculated, have
eaten themselves and their families into
poor-houses, but they have never
smoked them there. AS money j. only
valuable for what it brings, the smoker
spends wisely. His tobacco is useful to
him. It is his ally when the blue-devils
attack. Without j. they would con-
quer him, and he would he unnamed
for the struggle with adversely. 1t is q
friend always there, always ready,
never questioning, never refusing. 1t
does not, like liquor, encourage only to
throw its votaries afterward into des-
pondency. 1t does not honestly serve
one minute and guide to destruction
the next. A smoker is the aristocrat of
the tobacco army. The snuffer may
defile his person, the chewer may be
odious to his surroundings, but the true
smoker Is disagreeable never to COM
mon sense. He has no use for the spit
toon; he is not a aspitter. He is happy
in self-gratification, and he confesses it.
His sin but extends that far Smoking
has been censured as an encourager of
tipping; but all smokers are not drink
ers, or are all drinkers smokers. There
Is no real connection between the habits.

Efficacy Of Mormon PRAYER.

A friend reports what he heard in
Mormon meeting in one of the rural
districts. Being detained at the place
over Sunday, he went to their meeting
and listened to the talk of Sweds
brother, who illustrated the truth of his
gospel thus:
~Ven me and mine wife comes to Zion
We started in new wagon from Omaha
and directly the wheels of the wagon
begins to schrapes and schrapes; mine
wife and gifts down on the grounds and
begins prayer, and den We goes ahead
agin, and de wagon it schrapes and
schrapes, so we stops agin and prays
and still the wheels schrapes and
schrapes. Then 1 gets me down and
puts some erase on de wheels, and he
schrapes no more, and now 1 knows dis
gospel is drue, py shimminy."-Sa

Judging BY the Noise.

On one occasion in the Senate David
Davis put motion to adjourn to the
Senate, which was voted upon without
a division, that is, without calling the
roll or without the Senators rising to be
counted. Said he:
Those in favor of the motion of the
Senator from - to adjourn will say
aye" and quite number answered
"aye."
Those opposed to the notion said
Mr.. Davis, "will answer mo-" and
about the same number answered mo"
with little more vigor.
"The noes seem to be the loudest, N
said Mr.. Davis, "but the chair is in
doubt whether they are the strongest
or not. The char will put the ques-
tion again.
This time those in favor Of adjourn
ment had, apparently, large majority,
whereupon Mr.. Davis said:
~The noes were the loudest, but
not the strongest. The Senate stands
adjourned until tomorrow at IL
O'clock" and the Senators dispersed
amid boisterous laughter.-Washiag.

And I'm the chimney ghostly tones
OF nuns remorseful seem 10 call.
And am scribbling for my bread.
But often eyes unruly stray
To windows high above the street
Where lives my neighbor DER the way.
A pretty winsome lass she is
tender heart hath she's ween,
For every morning ON her sill
Thesparrow's breakfast have secn.
And by that sill she's sitting now;
Satins and silks and tinsels gay
Surround her while the needle flies
What fascination o'er the way?
But when the evening comes, know.
No lamp will light my laay's room,
And 1, neglectful OF my book,
Will sadly watch the gathering gloom,
And long TO see her where she is
A player-queen I'm fine array.
Art restless meath her gided crown,
My little neighbor DER the way!
When clad in ginghams, can she guess,
Playing her mornings homcly part,
She has an audience whose applause
Splits not his gloves but rends his beartf
For who she Is i cannot tell,
And what am she cannot say

A Poor Artist.

A pretty girl had bashful artist fol
a sweetheart, and he never would come
to the point. One night, after he had
made desperate attempt to test he,
feelings, she looked at him in very
significant way.
What do you mean by that?" he
asked with startled look.
DO You profess to be an artist? ?" she
replied, evasively.
"Yes."
DO you think you are a good one p
II fatter myself that 1 am"
"Well, don't thinls so.
"Why not?"
Because you cannot even draw IN
inference.
He did though, and now that girl
supports him by taking boarders, and
thinks he is poorer artist than ever

The Slanderer.

Compared with the malicious person
who never commits himself by a posi-
tive statement, but who simply insinu-
ates, the open slanderer is an admirable
person. You know with what you have
to deal. A direct falsehood can be met
by as direct denial, and statement
committed to dates is liable to destruc-
ton through counter proof; but an in
sinuation has no tangible basis for the
struggle, just as no one can catch and
pinion Proteus. We are all subjected
to this kind of persecution, and some
seem to be fatally open to victimization
of this deadly character. If scoundrels
who stab in the dark had q visible mark
like the snakes hood and rattle, so that
there could be no mistaking the genus,
what blessing of warning to the COM
munity, if but sorry kind of mark to
the individual himself! Perhaps,
though, If sure of detection, he might
reform, and take to truth and honesty
of speech by way of pleasant change
from his present crooked mode of living.
He would be welcomed if he did, and
might find love more valuable than alb
horrence, sympathy and companionship
more valuable than estrangement and
enmity. For such people are rarely
loved; men instinctively shrink from
than,

"By the way said Mr.. Raymond,
"Mr. Lincoln would often come down
there at night and sit in the Office.
There's point for you, if you want it..
He would come in, sit there for an hour
and chat, and very often go through
the stage entrance into his box, sit there
quietly and unobserved, see the per-
formance, and then go back home. He
always expressed himself as delighted
to get away from business and take an
hour of recreation at the theater. The
characteristics of the man were SO
noble, so simple and grand. He seemed
to enjoy, when he came to the theater,
his freedom from business and cares of
state. 1 remember" he ran on. lone
night we were playing Pocahontas,' a
burlesque, with Mrs. John Wood. In
those days, when they caught q pick

would placard him, This is a pick.
pocket and send him around the
streets to the 'Rogues' March, so the
people would know him, and we were
burlesquing that on the stage. Little
Tad Lincoln, the son of the President
he is now dead, poor boyl jolly little
fellow; everybody liked him-came
down very often with his father, and he
was there that night. He was hanging
around the stage, and for the fun of the
thing put him in ragged dress and
set him on the stage in the mob in one
of the scenes. Mr.. Lincoln, who was
in his box, saw the boy. Well, he
laughed heartily and long, threw his
hands up in the air, and let one of them
drop over the side of the box. The
audience saw the hand and recognized
it. There was no hand In the world
like Mr.. Lincoln's-so long and bony.
They recognized it and shouted for him.
He had to come to the front of the box
and bow. When Tad went into the
box Mr.. Lincoln threw his arms around
him, and the scene between the father
and the boy was most delightful. The
pleasure, the affection of the father was
so intense, so spontaneous, and it was
glorious to see him. Why, at that time
if anybody had wanted to seize Mr..
Lincoln they could have done it readily.
He most always came to the theater
alone. He would go to the box-office
and then pass on in. Sometimes he
would stand on the stage few min
utes. He seemed to enjoy everything
he saw, and was most hearty laugher. !"

Wants a Wife.

The many friends of Mr.. Frank
Bosworth will be somewhat surprised
to learn that the genial actor has tired
of his bachelOrh0od and is seeking q
wife. But such is the fact. Frank
is a modest unassuming youth and
dislikes to tackle the affections of a
blushing damsel at short range so he
has called printers ink to his aid and
advertises in an Eastern paper for n
helpmate. Frank wants IAN edu-
Gated, accomplished lady, under 40,
with considerable MEANS" and in
exchange for her affections will give
her "charge of the most beautiful
summer resort in the world, at the
wonderful Catarrh Mineral Springs,
Rocky Mountains" He describes
himselfa as IA years old, 5 feet 8 inches
in height, weight 40, light complex
ion, respectable, loving and jolly, a
professional, with large and varied
experience and comfortably fixed"
We have lone but the kindest feel
ing for jolly "Boz." but we hope he
will catch a Tartar by his Eastern
venture. Here are scores of amiable,
g~ood-looking maidens who would
doubtless jump at the chance to be-
come the mistress of those charming
springs, and the partner of the good
looking owner. For shame, "Boz !"
Your advertisement is a libel upon
Montana maidens. You deserve to
lose the remaining hairs upon your
pate at the hands Of the unmarried
ladies of the Territory.
