cept the title and the name of the chairman.
Those portions of it which were not entirely
unnecessary, were deemed wholly and ex-
clusively subjects of legislation. When the
Convention has completed its labors, be-
lieve the instrument will cover the funda-
mental principles the people Of Montana
desire, and will leave to legislators hereafter
to enact their statutory laws.
In addition to the articles above mention

HELENA, Jan. 30.-To.day the convention
made but little progress. The day was colt
sumed in debate on the substitute offered by
Dixon for Callaway's resolution prohibiting
all officers of the State counties, districts, or
precincts from accepting a pass from any
common carrier. Dixon's substitute ampli-
fed Callaway's and makes IL an offense for
the railroad, stage or steamboat company to
offer pass as well as for an officer to receive
one, and leaves the Legislature in both cases
to prescribe the penalties. Proctor moved to
indefinitely postpone. On this there was
prolonged argument. The motion was lost.
Numerous amendments were offered by the
opponents of the measure to load it down,
but the vote finally came on the substitute,
as amended by Burleigh and accepted by
Dixon, establishing the penalties for the Of
Tense. There were 10 ayes and 10 nays, aud
so the substitute was lost. But, as Abascai
voted under misrepresentation believing be,
was voting on an amendment offered by
Power, and did not discover his error unfit
after the vote was announced, he will To-
morrow move for n reconsideration, and |
think it will be adopted. 1t Is certainly "a
wise measure, absolving corporations from
the obligations of an iniquitous and expen-
sive custom, where they do not seek benefits,
and placing officers serving the people for
compensation above the reproach of being
retained by corporation or company by the
The opponents Of the article declare in many
instances their opposition is based solely ON
the ground that it is legislation and as such
should be reegated to the Legislature, but
the opposition TO it has developed so strong
in this convention that it is evident if it is
not incorporated in the Constituti on now it
will not be possible to sec ure legislation to
that effect hereafter. 1t is the first struggle
for disenthrallment from undue corporation
influences and 1t has been a fierce one.
There are only six more articles to be con-
sidered and it is possible they may be dis
posed of by Monday or Tuesday. Then the
work of the Committee on Revision will oc-
cupy II day, aud it will require ano ther day or
two to enroll the instrument. 1t is probable,
therefore, that next week will be consumed,
but am satisfied the convention will not ex-
tend beyond that. NJ

err A gentleman was engaged to
watch over night, his duty being to
wake the nurse whenever it became
necessary to administer medicine. In
the course of the night both watcher
and nurse fell asleep. The man with
the mumps lay watching the clock, and
saw that it was time to give the fever
patient his potion. He was unable to
speak aloud or to move any portion of
his body except his arms, but seizing a
pillow, he managed to strike the watch
er in the face with it, Thus suddenly
awakened, the watcher sprang from his
seat. falling to the floor, and awakened
both the nurse and the fever patient.
The incident struck the sick men as
very ludicrous, and they laughed hearth
ly at it for some fifteen or twenty min

morning he found his patient vastly i'm

he actually made several thousands of

doing an extensive business in

pie to get much for little They know
that the greed of gain often obscures

always plenty to spring at any bait, if
IT is only gaudy and glittering enough.
The so-called "saw-dust'' sharpers. who
pretend TO sell counterfeit money, and
send the victim box of sawdust, act
upon a shrewd knowledge of the baser
elements in human nature. They select
for their dupes persons who are willing
to be knaves themselves, and whose own
knavery shuts their mouths when they
lind out the swindle. Probably no pro-
fessional sharper would enter upon so
very bold game as the young man Of
the postage stamps played. for as they
mean to make their living by their wits
they dare not thus openly advertise their
dishonesty But the fact that such u
trick should have been so successful,
and that it should have been carried on
for so long time without detection,
shows that the crop of gulls continues
to be as large as ever, and that whatev-
er else fails there is no prospect of
shortage in that line of production.

ments. The importance of admitting
the light of the sun freely to all parts
of our dwellings cannot be too highly
estimated. Indeed perfect health is
nearly as much dependent on pure sun
light as it is on pure air, Sunlight
should never be excluded except when
so bright as to be uncomfortable to the
eyes. And walks should be in bright
sunlights, SO that the eyes are protected
by a veil or parasol when inconyenient-
ly intense. A sun bath is of more inn
portance in preserving healthful CON
dition of the body than is generally I'M
derstood. A sun bath costs nothing,
and that is misfortune, for people are
deluded with the idea that those things
can only be good or useful that cost
money. But remember that pure water,
fresh air and sunlit homes, kept free
from dampness, will secure you from
many heavy bills of the doctors and
give you health and vigor which no
