THREE.FINGER JACK.
The "TetOn Avengers on the trail
of a Desperate Character.
lSun River Sum-

The South Fork country was the scene
of gun play" last week, in which II. c.
Moore, formerly of the firm of Moore d
Derking, hOrsemen, was shot In the arm
by desperate known as Three-Finger
Jack Jack had been employed by Moore,
and that dispute arose in regard to pay
ment of wages. Moore refused to pay
Jack for services rendered, who got ON the
war path and commenced shooting through
the windows and door of the house in
which Moore had taken shelter He then
rode down to the horse herd and roped a
horse and told Moore that it was his
fJack's) and that be intended to take it.
Moore ecognized the horse as belonging to
himself. and attempted to take it away
from Jack and turn it back into the herd,
at which Jack pulled down his six-shooter
and shot him, the ball taking effect in his
left arm near the elbow, shattering the
bone and passing out four or five inches
above Jack then rode away leading the
disputed horse.
Eight men arrived from the Teton short
ly after the shooting, and departure of
Three-Finger Jack, in search of the gentle
man for crime which for fiendish brutali-
ty, far transcends this one, and the county
will be at no expense for prosecuting the
desperate if the Teton Avengers" catch
him.
Three-Finger Jack is supposed to have
gone over the range into Deer Lodge conn
ty through the Cadott pass. The "Teton
Avengers" are on his trail and will proba-
bly, run him down. The crime for which
they are pursuing him is for outraging
little girl fourteen years old, the daughter
of a Teton ranchman. 1t is to be hoped
that the double distilled brute will De
and speedy justice meted out to
him at the dearest tree.

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

Where are the birds that sweetly sang
A hundred years ago?
The flowers, that all in beauty sprang
hundred years ago?
The lip that smiled,
The eye that wild
In flashes shone
Bright eyes upon
Where, 0 where, are lips and eyes,
The maiden's smile, the lovers signs,
That were so long ago?
Who peopled all the citys streets
A hundred years ago?
Who filled the church with faces meek
A hundred years ago?
The sneering tale
OF sister frail,
The plot that worked
Another's hurt
Where, o where, are the plots and sneers,
The poor mans hopes, the rich man 5 fears,
That were so long ago?
Where are the graves where dead men slept
A hundred years ago?
Who, whilst living. ft.times wept
A hundred years ago?
BY other men,
They knew not then,
Their lands are titled
Their homes are filled
Yet nature then was just as gay,
And bright the sun shone as to-day,
A hundred years ago.

BE FIRM AND BE TRUE.

A maxim take, my boys and girls,
And this would suggest,
BE firm and true, and work away,
And do your very best"
If lessons long and difficult
Should be to you assigned,
Get down to work and study hard,
And do not lag behind.
Whate'er the work you have to do,
Re sure you do il right;
March boldly up, strike firmly out,
And do it with your might.
In all your business, workand play,
BE honest, true and square;
Let nothing turn you from your course.
But firmly do and dare.
And when you've grown to ripper years,
Hold 10 the maxim still;
BE firm and true, and work away
With mind and heart and will.

SABBATH CHIME.

o the day of rest and gladness,
o day of joy and light.
A balm Of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright
On thee the high and lowly,
Through ages joined in tune,
Sing, holy holy, holy,
To the great God Triune.
On thee at the creation
The light first had its birth;
On thee for our salvation
Christ rose from depths of earth;
On thee our Lord victorious,
The spirit sent from heaven,
And thus on thee most glorious
A triple light was given.
To-day on weary nations
The heavenly mamma falls,
To holy convocationS
The silver trumpet calls;
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.
New graces evergaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest;
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father. and to Son;
The church her voice upraises
To Thee. blest Three in One.

Type Baking.
London TRUTH


Taking purely selfish delight in the
pleasure of children, have always re-
gretted the painful necessity of teaching
them their letters. The least nauseOus way
of administering such doses of scholarship
is undoubtedly by the kindergarten bis
cults. But their good service is entirely
frustrated by ridiculous blunder. All
these eatable and no doubt nourishing let
tiers are capitals. Now it is a stupid prac-
tice to teach children the capital letters
first, because by so doing YOU oblige the
poor little things to learn the alphabet
twice over. There is, indeed, no positive
reason why children should be taught capi-
tails at all, for as these are the exceptions
in writing and printing, they would be ac-
quired involuntarily and imperceptibly
when the children, having learnt all the
small letters, begin to read. Will the
kindergarten people take my hint and
bake "lower-case types"

THE OLD BEAU.

How cracked and poor his laughter rings
How dulled his eye once flushing warm
But still a courtly pathos clings
About his bent and withered form.
Tonight where mirth and music dwell.
His wrinkled cheek, his locks of snow,
"ieam near the grandsons Of the bellies
lie smiled on forty years ago.
we watch him here, and half believe
Our gaze may witness, while he pirates.
Death, like footman, touch his sleeye
And tell him that the carriage waits.

REPUBLICANISM.
| shall not attempt
to repeat to You the
splendid story Of the
Republican party, a
story that we never
tire Of telling and
that our children
will never tire of
hearing; a story
which is written up
On the hearts of all
A m erican citi-
zens because it re-
counts greater servi-
ces for liberty, for
the country, for man
kind, than those of
any party in any
other nation at any
other period Of time
And what is the Sc
cret of this unparal-
leled history? 1t is
simply that the Re-
publican party has
always been the par
ty of the best in
stincts, of the high
est desires of the
American people.
This is a special
glory. 1t has repre-
sented the American
instinct of national
ity, American pat
riotism and Ameri-
can devotion to lib
erty.

ADA IDDINGs GALE.

ADA IDDINGs GALE.
Come, death, / will drink with thee;
Hold the goblet steadily.
Ill not fear to sip thy wine,
Sure it must be smooth and fine.
Princely lips have touched the rim,
Princely eyes looked down within;
Warriors, heroes, poets great,
Here their thirstiness did safe.
Shelley, Poe, Keats-I could weep
Drowned their song in drinking deep.
Youthful lips, smiling and red,
Oft TO this cup have been wed.
Aged ones, trembling and sad,
Touching 1t have been made glad.
AndI-why then should j fear
Death? I'll take il, hand it here.
! viii bravely drink with thee
Here's 20 all humanity;
May they-as I-when they drink,
Find il better than they think.

Uncle Ezek's Moral Proverbs.

The Century.
The devil was never known to play any
kind of a game, except for keeps.
He who forgives, and doesn't forget, is
trying to settle with the Lord for fifty
cents on the dollar.
The man who has nothing but honesty
to recommend him is sure of a reward
hereafter, but he can't get job here on
earth.
Men will swear by their religion, will
fight for it, will be martyrs for it, will per-
secute others for it, will do anything and
all things for it, except observe it them
selves

POLITICAL SILHOUETTS.
Drawn BY George William Curtis at
the National Republican
Convention.

DEMOCRACY.
We are confronted
with the Democratic
party, very hungry,
and, as you may well
believe, very thirsty
"a party without a
single definite prin-
ciple, a party with
out any distinct Ma
tional policy which
it dares to present to
the country ; a party
which fell from
power as a conspira-
cy against human
rights, and now at
tempts to sneak
back to power as a
conspiracy for plum
der and spoils.

The celebration of the 65 anniver-
sary by the Odd Fellows at Bancroft,
on Saturday evening, passed off very
pleasantly. The attendance was good
the music fine, and the literary exer-
cises apparently satisfactory. The
editor of THE TINES is under per-
sonal obligations to Bro. Hart, the
N. c., and Bro. f. R. Jackson, for
favors.
We noted with pleasant surprise
the apparently rapid growth and bust
ness prosperity of Bancroft, during a
recent visit to that beautiful village ;
and we opine that if Ashley does not
run the T., A. A. & N. railway
through this village as he goes south
from Owosso to connect with his
road at South Lyons, he will make as
great a mistake as he did when he
failed to make Alma a point on the
way north, and one that in the not
distant future he will make as much
effort TO correct.
The TINES is informed that the
ladies society of the M. E. church
have on sale tickets for DR.. Hedley's
lecture in Opera Hall, on the ,6th
inst. All who purchase now can Sc
lect reserved seats without addition
al expense. The price of tickets has
been fixed at the moderate sum of
IS cents and at this price every seat
in Opera Hall should be filled. The
lecturer is one Of the most eloquent
on the platform, and every word that
drops from his lips is replete with
wisdom. Give the ladies a rousing
benefit.
The German Methodist evangeli
cal association will hold quarterly
meeting in Owosso, commencing this
Friday evening and continuing Sat-
urday and Sunday. The Presiding
Elder, Rev. s. Copley, will conduct
the exercises.
A fire broke out about half past
one on Sunday morning in the coke
