twenty five years prepared the entire

Of the cause Of Jerry's universal good

might assist at another dinner to come

In the United States court in session
at Deer Lodge this week Marian Gamble,
one of three men implicated in the stage
robbery between Helena and Deer
Lodge last July, was tried and found
guilty of robbing the carrier of the
United States mail and placing in jeop-
ardy the life of said carrier by the use of
dangerous weapons. The only punish
ment which can be assessed upon this
verdict is confinement in the penitentiary
for life. The other two robbers, Thomas
Sheldon and Frederick Wiley, each
entered the plea of guilty Of robbing the
United States mail. These pleas involve
an imprisonment in the Territorial peni-
Tertiary of from five to ten years.
The Deer Lodge North West says: Some
weeks since there was noticeable, on
different evenings, in Montana, a pecu-
liar luminous glare in the Western

In few countries in the world can
the adventurous wight who wishes to
peer into the future have his desire so
easily gratifed, in so many different
ways, as in Japan. While in western
nations divination is merely the sub
ject of research and speculation among
scholars, OF, at most, is found at in
tcrvals in rWral districts, far from the
busy haunts of men, startling the
apostle of the nineteenth century civ
ilization with its twelfth century sR-
perstition, here in Japan it is living
force, exercising its influence on the
trader, the farmer, pilgrim, and even
on the course Of love itself. Nor is it
confined to the poor and lOwly: MEM
bers of the higher classes, and the
wealthy do not disdain to make use OF
the diviner, and he is equal to the
task. For tempo, or even mon, he
will tell the poor maiden whether her
lover is faithful, or the coolie whether
his pilgrimage will prosper; while
for his noble patrons he can perform
an elaborate ceremony, in some cases
possessing even religious sanctions Of
the most solemn kind, for which he is
quite ready to accept a hundred, five
hundred, or even thousand yen. On
this subject, passage almost as ap-
plieablc TO Japan as to China may be
quoteot here trofn Dr. Denny's little
work on "Folk-lore of China"
"DivmatieH is III China as popular
as,and probably more respectable than,
it was among the Israelites in the days
of the witch of Endor, and it is not
perhaps going toe far to say that there
is not a single means resorted to in the
West, by way of lifting the iAapene-
trable veil which hides the future from
the curious Of mankind, which is not
known to and practised by the Chinese.
From ''PinkiNg the Bible" to using
the planehette, from tossing fer 0del or
even to invoking spirits or to actually
speak through crafty media, the whole
range Of western superstition in this
regard is as familiar to the average
Chinanlan as to the most enthusiastic
spiritualists at horne. The coincidence
Of practice and belief are indeed so

and especially those with the word ''Hop'' or

The Old Gum Shoe,

Do you remember the old-fashiened
rubber shoe? All, that was the shoe
worth having. It was none of your
fiimsy, trim, shiny abominations Of the
present degenerate day. 1t was a great,
clumsy, ill-looking moccasin, that had
neither form nor Symmetry, but it
would wear out dozen,,of our ordinary
modern shoes. What an art was it to
put the thing on! Turning it half ia
side ont, you put your toe into les inte-
rior, and then with tug and a jerk
you pulled the heel in place, and you
were inside shoe that clung to YOU
tighter than brother. And what fun
w2s it at school to dimple ia the toe,
place a spit ball in the hollow, and
then, with fingers inside, to send the
ball with catapultic power smack into
the face of the studious scholar on the
opposite side Of the room Alas! there
is no fun in the modern rubber shoe,
and bat vely little wear. JOY and utii-
ity have given place to mere beauty of
outline and prosaic comfort.-Bostoa
