"Ereaks" at Redmond's.

mond's Grand Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, with Thursday matinee. The New
York Mirror, the most reliable journal in the
country ON dramatic events, says: Throw
away the idea that you are to see or hear
anything probable, and Freaks" is one of
the most acceptable plays of the day. If it
is one of the highest missions of the theater
TO give pure, jolly fun, then "Freaks" helps
ii well in the work. 1t is such piece as
would do the tired business man more good
than all the doctors in the land 1t requires
no thought to enjoy it. All you have to do
is to sit there and laugh"

Every available space was occupied in the
theatre last night, II being, too, the second
appearance of the Thatcher, Primrose
West Ministries here this season, whose popu-
larity ia this city shows increase at each en-
gagement. The company has undergone
some changes in its personnel since last sum
mer, and on the whole the entertainment of
last night was the best they have ever given
here. With new songs, fresh jokes and ex-
cellent music, and constant develop
ment of miFth-proyoking novelties, the
company OF last night does the largest
business of any minstrel organization on
the road. and their annual tour is nightly
repetition of success financially and other
wise, like that which was indicated IN the
reception given them last evening, by one of
the largest audiences of the season.
Louise Sylvester's Engagement.

and her excellent company at Redmond's s
for to morrow evening and New Years after
noon and evening, Manager Powers has
provided good opportunity for the theater-
goers having a happy New Year. The sub
Joined is from the Detroit Free Press.
1t is true that she is the Ferret that gets at
the bottom of all the rascality that Is going
on, bat she is actuated by a girls oyerpower-

the rogues, detective who has fair ap-
probation of what detective is, and does

Miss Rogers played Edith Walton, the
wronged and deserted, yet still loving and
trusting wife, as only such thorough and
appreciative actress can play it. Mestayer
was equally successful as the rascally hus-
band. The comedy element of the play EN-
braces Solomon Nori.rkey, light fingered
gentleman from Chatham street, and Monty,
a cockney swell nobleman. These characters
were happily assumed by Barry Maxwell and
Edward +. Sylvester.

What x. Says of the Mines.


X. Biedler, who left Helena on the
10th of October for a trip to the lower
country, reports that during his journey
down he camped at Miles battle ground,
on Snake creek, and secured several
relics of the fight, afterwards going to
Warm Spring creek, now called Blaine
vile. He says Of the mines that there
is no doubt but they are all that has been
said in their favor. He was back and
forth among the mines and knows what
he is talking about. Diggings during
his stay there were paying from two to
thirty dollars to the man while the
weather was good. Tom O'Hanlon is
taking in gold dust daily in exchange
for goods. He took with him from
Ritchie's store to Fort Maginnis thirty
six ounces in god dust and two hundred
dollars in coin for Broadwater, McNa-
mara & Co.
He was at Rocky Point on election
day, and not a republican ticket did he
see. There were plenty of democratic
tickets. He presumed it was because
the democrats could not write that thew

interesting anecdotes gaths~ed from va
rious sources relating to the telegraph.
The book is well worth reading and
should be in the hands Of every member
of the telegraph fraternity. Mr.. john
son is editor of The Operator, published
at No. 8 Murray street, New York.
FL. r. Forbes, range rider for the Teton
and Marias Stock association, is in the
city and stopping at the Grand Union.
Mr.. Forbes, together with Mr.. S. A.
Miller, under the firm name of Forbes
& Miller, will open a meat market at
Choteau in a short time-the first estab-
lished at that enterprising burg. These
gentlemen are thoroughly up in the
business and will maintain a first class
market.
All eastern mail for this city and out
lying districts will now come by way of
Helena. A telegram making this re-
quest was sent to First Assistant Post
master General Crosby last Saturday
and an answer received the same day
stating the order had been made. The
change is to be temporary, during the
winter. In the summer season, when
it is not necessary to lay up at night at
Geyser station, the mail can come
through quicker by the Billings route.
Wolfing ought to be a pretty good
business. The capital required is not
much, 4 frying pan, coffee pot, dutch
oven, three months supply Of grub and
a half dozen bottles of strychnine would
last a man long enough to make a pretty
good killing. A few years ago this was
an important industry and thousands OF
wolf pelts were brought to Fort Benton
every spring, and good prices were
realized. There is a demand for them
now, and better prices could be obtained
than at that time. The wolves are be-
coming so numerous that we offer this
as a suggestion TO any n wanting
work.

Fretting.
Baptist Weekly.

This morning | got up cross as bear.
l felt as rough and tingy as chestnut
burr. l was all out of sorts, and it
seemed to me it would be pleasure to
snap up anybody who spoke to me as
short as could.
Most likely l would have done so
and set the whole household by the ears
for the rest of the day, but that I haze
had such moods before, and learned
by experience the best way to manage
them. "Now," thought l, "my best
plan is not to influence the whole family,
but to remain neutral, and let them in
fuence me-" Accordingly, tried to
control myself little, and await events.
"Well, the two elder children got up
merry, and as happy as crickets. Papa
was in pretty good humor, and the
baby sat in her high chair and display
ed all her little airs and graces and her
newest funny little capers, and we must
all look and admire, SO by the time
breakfast was over was laughing and
smiling as cheerfully as the rest, and
passed pretty comfortable day after
all.
And as l was thinking of this at even
ing l thought how easily little fretting
might have upset the whole family and
spoiled the day.
Now, fretting is both useless and unne-
cessary it does no good and great
deal of harm yet it is almost univer
sal sin. More or less we are given to
it. We fret over almost anything. In
summer because it is too hot, and in
tRet fqteaT fqteaT lbtffGaaHse jtciS too Hqld a5, 5e
and when it does not rain because it is
dry; when we are sick or when any
body else is sick. In short, if anything
or everything doesn't go just to suit
our particular whims and fancies, we
have just one grand refuge-to fret over
| it.
am afraid fretting is much more
common among women than among
men. We may as well own the truth,
nv fair sisters, if it isn't altogether
pleasant. Perhaps it is because the lit
tie worries, cares and vexations of our
daily life harass our sensitive nerves
more than the extended enterprises
which generally take the attention OF
men. Great wants develop great re-
sources, but the little wants and worries
are hardly provided for, and, like the
nail which strikes the saw, they make
not much of mark, but they turn the
edges terribly. l think if we looked
upon all the little worries of one day
as a great united worry, self control to
meet it would be developed. But as
they generally come-only one or two
little things at time-they seem so
very little that we give way, and the
breech once made in the wall, soon
grows larger.
know that many mother has turn
ed her son against her own sex, and
made him dread and dislike the society
of women, by her example constantly
set before him. l know that many
mother has brought up and developed
a daughter just like herself, who in her
turn, would wreck and ruin the com
fort of another family circle. And
knowing all this, l know we ought to
set our faces like flint against this use
less, sinful, peace-destroying and home
disturbing habit of fretting.

1t is q fact as I've been told,
That people in the days of old
Got rich in silver and in gold,
No matter what they bought or sold,
By minding their own business
They did not try to wound ones fame
Or slander any body's name;
They cared not when you went or came;
They pleased themselves, you did the same,
Ii it was your own business.
And if man did what was right
In his own mind and in the sight
OF God and law by day and night
He went ahead and fought the fight,
Determined ON his business.
But in degenerate modern days
There's quite change in peoples ways,
And what person does or says
Must be held up into the gaze
Of every busybOdy.
And if you do not tell them, too.
Where you are going and what you are going to do,
They get into such awful stew
They'll even watch and follow you,
These very busybodes.
And then they surely think they know
just when you come and when you CO.
And they will whisper so and so
70 every friend and every foe,
These very busy
But if we tske the pains to see
Who these same busy bodies be,
We find there's not a he or she
Who has decent history
Among these busy bodies.
But let no more notice take
Of evil tongues, but, for their sake.
Wen hope and pray they soon may wake
From wickedness, and money make

FoR "THE UNION"
THE NEW PUMP.
BY BESSIE ALLEN.

~@s@<A@NNs
They've got it at last,-a fine new pump,
All iron and painted green,
A fine invention, as all must own,
labor-saving machine.
went out to-day to see the men
When they put the new pump in,
And Jim, the farm boy, said to me,
With satisfied sort of grin:
"Just look at it now, Miss Betsey,
See them make its handle 60,
And watch the water come from the spout
In steady, purity flow.
"No leaky bucket to draw up now,
On windlass rickety, slow,
A grand invention, now amt it, sureS"
Said the man, his face aglow.
"And here's place reserved, you see,
IF you want to make show,
They'll put a harnsome windmill in
For couple Of hundred or so."
"Aye," said, and smiled at the eager face,
But erewhile heaved sigh,
For lying there not far away,
Unheeded, thrown carelessly by,
Was windlass and bucket old and worn
With the wear of many day,
And while the new pumps praise was sung
My thoughts would wander away.
And lived again my childhood's days
When my sky was always fair,
And thought how many hands had turned
That old windlass lying there.
Of the many childish lips that drank
From the leaky buckets brim,
And memory pictured many scenes
That made my eyes grow dim.
How tumbled down the well one day,
A rollicking girl of ten,
And in the bucket all safe and sound,
Was brought to the top again.
Oh wonder not that the oldtime bard
Sang the "oaken buckets" praise
For the scenes of our childhood stir the heart
And tenderest feelings raise.
Yes, the pump is great invention sure,
And labor saving machine,
And this looks stylish and pretty too,
All handsomely painted green.
"Mss Betsey's queer" heard Jim say,
As I left the pump to-day,
"She looked so pleased and yet seemed sad,
can't make it out no way"
