no BABY .--.- l.
ny urn Ar1NrY

In ancient times, when sponsors fairy
Bent o'er mortal baby's bed
And showered many gifts and blessings
On the little strangers head,
They gave it health and wealth and pleasure,
Beauties rare of form and face,
Matchless wisdom. strength and cunning,
Every great and valued grace.
But those days long since have faded
In the dark gloom of the past
Elfns, fairies. gnomes and witches
In ob1ivion's cauldron cast.
In this later time Of wisdom
Love- the goddess, reigns supreme,
Throned in hearts of high and lowly,
Beggar's hut and palaeed queen.
And above each tiny stranger
That from sky-home earthward drifts,
Bends with plentitude of blessings,
Far ,outnumbering fairy gifts.
So to thee, oh, dainty blossom.
Blooming here lily pure.
7, loyal, faithful subject,
Hosts Of loving gifts cenjure.
May those lips, like roses blooming,
Only words of wisdom say,
Cheering ON some weary sinner
To q higher, truer way;
May those those tiny feet press upward
On the paths where virtues reign,
Faltering not from right or justice
Till the Meccan goal they gain;
May thy shining eyes look erer
Toward the true, unfinohing, bold
Penetrate sins dark disguises,
Know the brazen from tire gold;
And thy soul keep ever holy,
Free from all .earth's troubaous storms,
Till, life's weary Journey over
1t seeks again His sheltering arms.

[Er
The friends of Mr.. Harold Frey
schlag will be sorry to hear of q pain
full accident that befell him last Tues
day and that came very near des-
troying his eyesight. He was on his
ranch on the sonth fork of the Big
Hole river about fifteen miles from
the battle ground. and had gone out
to shoot some game. He hada Win
chester rifle in his hand. The maya
zine being empty he attempted to
put a cartridge in the breach of the
barrel. just as he was bringing up
the lever the cartridge in some I'M
accountable manner exploded. The
breech of the gun was blown of. MI.
Freyschlag's face was badly cut. and
his face aud eyes badly powder
burned. He has not been able to use
his eyes since but has had to keep
them bound up all the time. They
have given him severe and constant
pain. Yesterday he arrived in Butte
and an examination of his eyes was
made by DR.. Bacon. The Doctor
does not think he will lose his sight,
but it will be some time before his
eyes are restored to their normal con
We hope he will rapidly re .
cover.

Idaho Items.

S4n: The best gold in the Ceur
d'Alenes is said to come from the
right hand fork of Alder gulch,
which comes down through the west
end of town. The gold is very pure
in color and metal, and undoubtedly
is a part of the old channel.
A large pile of f1nely-cut wood was
offered at 81 a cord last week, within
500 yards of the west end of Main
street, and, we are Informed, found
no takers. There is q very large
amount of cut wood piled all about
Murray, but it would appear that 81
a cord would scarcely 60 logging.
Missoulsan: Fred J. Taylor, of
Butte, was in Missoula Friday last,
with some very rich specimens of
gold rock from the south fork of the
st. Joseph river, Idaho, south of the
C@ur d'Alene mines. He reports
having two leads, n two inches
wide and the other about two feet,
both very rich, and he thinks he has
struck q bonanza at last.
This week a mill test of 1000
pounds of ore from the Evening lode
on Niger prairie, was shipped to
Helena from Thompson Falls. The
ore assays from $3.50. to $3.50, and if
the mill test proves profitable large
shipments will be made until a mill
can be erected. These shipments. if
made, will probably come out by the
Mullan road.

The OlerK Saw tho Point,

On one of the excursion steamers
running out of Detroit the other day
the clerk found q passenger who had
neither ticket or money. He began
to berate the man for q dead>beat,
telling him he ought to be ashamed Of
himself, etc., but the strapped stran-
ger held up his finger and sale:
Have / been among the passengers
and thrown out hints that the boil
ers of this boat were rather old aud
liable to explode??'
mot that I know Of"
Have I been around predicting q
storm, and thus detracting from the
pleasure If the trip"
'Havn't heard of your doing So"
"Have 1 slipped up to this one and
that one to slur your boat for being
slow, and have l said that'yOu were
carrying at least ninety people more
than your license allows? Twice
has this boat neglected to answer the
signals of vessels coming down.
Have I said I would make complaint
under the law? Have I counted
your life preservers and found the
complement short? Have I over
hauled your small boats and found
that none of them could be launched:
20, I see! An old steamboat man
shake! :" stammered the clerk.
Excuse me for not Identifying you.
Just make yourself at home and ride
as far as you please. If you happen
down stairs come to the office and
try some of my cigars. Detroit Free

Tourists.

Yesterday afternoon, between the
hours of three and four O'Clock, a
wagon drawn by q respectable but
faded looking team, was seen COM
ing slowly up Montana street. The
first impression the outfit made was
that it was a family of immigrants
who had crossed the plains in wa on
from Iowa and curiosity could hardly
be repressed to find out how long
they had been on the road. A
closer inspection showed, however,
that it was q band composed mostly
of returned Missourians returned
from the Geysers. 1t was q party
who had left Butte about q month
ago to take in the National Park.
They went in the most sensible way.
They had their own wagons and
outfit and were Independent OF
guides. hotels and other extortionists'
The party consisted IF DR.. Thompson
and wife, Miss Mary B. Knight.
Miss Clara Wilcox, MI. II. X
Rogers, of Salt Lake, MI. Lou Dan
len and Mr.. JEFF Thoroughman.
They report thct they had a most
ENJOYABLE time. Their color proves
that they have been out OF doors
most of the time. Their appetite
tells that they have had an abund-
ance of healthful exercise.

HORRIBLE.
Prof. Common Sense Sheds Light
on the Baking powder Subject.

TO TIE PRICE BAKING POWDER
COMPANY: In compliance with your
instructions l have bought and chem
ically tested some potatoes and tur-
nips. ] have now analysed most OF
the articles used by man for food, and
find them to contain the chemical
elements of the soil in which they
grow, and it is my opinion that corn,
flour, potatoes, turnips, cabbages, and
in short, all cereals and vegetables
are unfit for use.
l find that to grow these articles
profitably the greedy, INSCRIPTIONS
farmer mixes with the soil guano,
stable manure, dead fish and the con-
tents of vaults, and to think of using
for food anything produced from
these things, is to utterly disgusting
to be entertained.
l find also that the common air we
breathe and all water, meat and milk
contain ammonia, and yield to the
system more thereof than any baking
powder biscuit ever could, | have
therefore prohibited the use of air,
meat, milk, water and all the vege
tables and cereals in my family.
Thanking you for fee Enclosed in
yon order, ($lOO), l am, truly yours,

Marnet Iron Bridge.

The Missoula Times mentioned the
fact some time ago that Marnet tres
tie is to be supplanted with a great
iron bridge. The plans of the COM
pany have been definitely arranged
and last week work was begun on
the camp, which will consist of
some half dozen buildings, adequate
to accommodate two hundred men.
As soon as the buildings are COM
pleted the preliminary work on the
great bridge will be commenced: The
survey was made in June, and the
first step will be the excavations tor
the masonry and the placing of ma
chinery. The bridge Is being made
in the east. The erection of the
bridge, requiring 30 large . force OF
men for several months. will be OF
considerable value to the trade of
Missoula.

left is q brother. He was m old
timer in the Territory, having
worked In the placer mines in Mon
tana twenty years ago. He has
mined also in Virgin:c: t,,;;t-y, Nevada,
in Tombstone ant f!'~$.. Arizona.
He went to the Occur d'1..enes from
Arizona when the excitement was at
ITS height. He came to Butte about
three months ago. In that time he
made many friends who sincerely
mourn his loss.
The sad affair was one of those un-
fortunate accidents that cannot be
foreseen. The miners say that it
was not the result of carelessness on
the part of either the owners of the
mine or the foreman. From the
owners the order had come not to
spare timbers, but put in plenty of
them. The foreman is q careful,
skillful miner. It was q dangerous
place in which to work, but not more
dangerous than miners are accus-
toned to work IN every day. MI.
Costello is to be congratulated upon
coming through his great danger
without harm.

New County Suggested.

Bozeman Courier: There 10 a
strong feeling in favor of the division
of Madison county, setting OFT into
the new organization all the farming
and mining districts north of 1.-THE big
mountain" just this side of Virginia.
The seat of the new county would
be, we presume, either on Meadow
creek or at Sterling. The large store
building at Sterling, now unoccu-
pied, could be translnogrihed into a
GOOD court house for the new county
at small outlay. Its original cost
was $40, 600. With its rich mines
lust beginning to be successfully
deyeloped-and unexcelled stock
ranges and farming sections, the
new county would soon rank with
the most prosperous. Col. Tom
Baker, Of the Madisonian, assures US
that the people of Virginia recog-
nlzing the necessity of the new
organization, would not oppose it.

TOO COSTLY FOR him.
Governor Oglesby Declines to
Smoke Twenty-Five Cent o.
9ars and Gives Reasons
for So Doing
lNew York Tribune.)

Richard ]. Oglesby, ex Governor
and ex-senator of Illinois, ia known
all over the West as of the I'M
lettered, self-made, self-educated,
rough and ready orators of America
"a bluff, hale, hearty man, whose
genial ways win to him all people
with whom he comes IN conta,t.
He is famlliarly known as "Dick"
Oglesby, and in Illinois no one
thinks Of giving him any other title
than Dick" In his early days he
was q California gold miner, and
knows what it Is to have a bOnanz,,
as we'll as what it is to spend
one, though he never was very
rich himself. He has been down
at Dead Beach several days for his
health. He came up yesterday and
while passing Delmonico's Fifth
Avenue place, with a New York
friend, on his way to the Republic
can national headquarters, happened
to remark that he had never Teen in
side of one of thse famous restau-
rants. He was promptly invited to
lunch there and accepted the invi-
tation. After the meal was over be
was asked t, smoke. He accepted
the invitation, but when the lad at
the cigar stand passed over the box
of Havanas, from which to select he
said /:
"How much are these"
TWENTY-FIVE cents, sir" said tie
boy;
governor, put 'em back, quick"
"But Governor, this is my treat"
put in his friend.
"Daresen't do it! Daresen't do ii!
Put 'em back!"
Eyes, but Governor"
II tell you l de.resen't do it. Why,
man, If they should ever tind out in
Illinois that I smoked a twenty five
cent cigar in New York, they'd turn
me out of the church, and it would
ruin me politically forever. Dare
sent do il! put 'em back! Ten centers
plenty good enough for me in New
York and five centers at home"
And with this settlement OF the
| question the Governor selected such
q cigar as he wanted and walked
away.
