How to Court In Church.

A young gentlemen, happening to
sit at church in a pew adjoining one
in which sat a young lady for whom
he conceived a sudden and violent
passion, DESTROYS of entering into a
courtship on the spot. But the place
not being suitable for a formal dec
laration, the exigency of the case sug-
gested the following plan: He po-
Iitely handed his fair neighbor bible

lowing text: Second epistle of John,
verse fifth:-and now l beseech thee
lady, not as though | wrote new
commandant unto thee, but that
which we had from the beginning,
that we love one another. She re-
turned it, pointing to the second
epistle of Ruth, verse tenth: "Then
she fell on her face and bowed her.
self to the ground and said unto him:
why have 1 found grace in thine
eyes, seeing that 1 am a stranger?"
He returned the book, pointing to
the thirteenth verse Of the third epis-
tie of John:-"Having many things
to write unto you would uot with
pen and ink but l trust shortly to
come unto you and to speak face to
face that our Joy may be full"
From the above interview mar
rage took place the ensuing week.

granny of the Inter Mountain has

monyw with The usual bad taste and

would read much better If In correct
ing on alleged error in the MINER it
did not make n equally
as absurd in vouchsaing the pars.liz-
ing information that "there are 81
members of the British 'Ministy.''

order for our jaundiced neighbor to
explain. When that is all made
clear we can intelligently approach
the all absorbing question of lew
torpedo boats and war vessels o the

to know, you know whether the 81
members of the British Mioistry
shall each have one torpedo boat or
whether one torpedo boat shall have

how IN the world 1t happened. She
confessed to having taken nine cups

poured tea At her mothers reception,
and the others were distributed along
through the day. She takes q cup Of
strong English breakfast tea every

Another girl announced that she

A third one owned to relying on

q massage treatment from her old

of her hygienic grooming.
A fourth one said that strong coffee

Threats Made to Blow Up The Miner
Oflco.

For two or TIRES days last week
Manager Mcguire ran q few lines Of
advertisements In the MINER in
which the cabalistic figures 3-7-7
occurred. The figures were harm
less in their reference, the only object
being to advertise q play OF that
name which was presented last even
ing. The explanation of the mean
ing of the figures was made in the
MINER Sunday morning. But it
seems that some n who stands In
mortal terror of Vigilantes took a
serious view of the matter and on
last Saturday mailed the following
to the MINER Office, which
was received Sunday. We give
the blood curdllng epistle verbatim

A Car Load Of Scenery.

Yesterday Manager Mcguire re-
ceived q car load Of scenery for the
production of the great. spectacular
play of the Field Of Ice ," which
will be produced next FridAy night
at Rem shaw Opera House. This will
be the first attempt at spectacular
productions in Butte. The first act
of the play occurs on ''board ship"
where the crew, at the instigation OF
an adventurer, puts the captain, his
wife and child on what is supposed
to be AL island but which turns out
to be a hu.e iceburg.. This, in time,
bre aks 10 and the captain and his
wife perish while the child diifts
on q cake of ics. The breaking up
of the ice and the reflection of the
aurora borealis are very powerful
stage effects and every inch of Rem
shaw's stage will be used In this
scene. There is a grand tropical
scene also and If the management is
justified in the expensive production
of the play, other spectacular dramas
will follow during the coming season.
