follows:
legend there was 'mongst an Indian tribe
When the world was in its prime,
Which told of the justice and love of God
From the very begnnngof time,
how the moon proud of her silyery light
And the radiance she shed on high
And boasted herself the queen Of night
And the broad expanse of thesky,
Till the stars grew pale in her glorious beams
And their light began to fade
And the just Dispenser of all things good
This wise provision made
Ihatthe moon, in the prideo her high estate
Should grow DINNER and DINNER each day
I'LL the darkness of nights should conceal her awhile
And her glory should fade away.
mus the new moons wax and the full moons wane
And all for the best it seems
Asthey glimmer and darken and wing their way
To the mystical realm Of dreams
These are only specimens. The ex-
ereises are interspersed with music of an
excellent quality, Rotations, in which
some of our young ladies excel, selections
from the best authors, and much of the
sparkle Of social wit and repartee.
In this enjoyable way we endeavor to
keep ourselves en- rapport with the taste
and literature of society.
We will not say with the old song that
" All this is better far, than masquerades
and fancy balls" still it is the best we can
do, and like Mercutio's wound, twill serve.
| fear you will think we do not cultivate
humility greatly. In fact we have no
types OF Uriah Heep, nor his very humble
mother. Pardon us for thinking we'll of
ourselves. Was it not rough old Sam
johnson who said, GAS the sparkle is to
Champagne so is vanity to Woman?"

less you come yourself as a /" chiel among

Most willingly. In every mind there
Is an innate perception of that which should
be approved or rejected. OF this I do not
speak slightingly But it often becomes
distorted with the thousand vagaries to
which mind of delicate susceptibility is
subjected in the trying ordeal of course
of fictitious reading
You do not read novels?'
Never; and poetry but seldom-never
IN seasons of mental depression
May | ask why not?"
" Because it augments the gloom, while
appearing to Danish it--like opium which
alleyiates pain at the cost of future de-
rangement.'
20 most venerable and respected Mentor,
who dost SO wisely and considerably point
out the shoals to misguided youth, what
more can add to your severe advice and
rigid experience that will convince me of
your having secured the happier lot?"
The flash of incredulous scorn that ac-
companied this sarcasm, was keenly felt by
Mr. Montgomery, who, by Madeleine's own
previous admission was not an egotist. But
he showed no hesitation in his prompt re-
ply" The reasonable expectation of one

STRUNG the significance of these words, but
a carriage-party of acquaintance here met
them at a crossing of the garden-alleys and
diverted the current of conversation.
"You here, Madeleine p exclaimed
young girl. 81 am sure you have had no

and nothing so refreshing as dish of Ice

"Thank you for the suggestion" inter

THE DICKENS ENTERTAINMENT.
The Largest Audience Ever Assembled in
Deer Lodge.

And on that grave where English oak and holly
And laurel wreaths entwine,
Deem 1t not all too presumptuous folly
This spray of Western pine.
-BRET HARTE.
We confess it was with serious misgivings
as to its success we received the announce
ment from the ladies committee that they
had decided TO have here, in little out-of-
the-way village in the mountains, a "Dickens
Party" In places of forty thousand or more
inhabitants there are generally a sufficient
number who are familiar with the writings
of the great novelist to assure an audience
when the creatures of his fertile brain are
represented on the stage, but it looked i'm
possible that out of only couple of thou
sand people there would be sufficient mum
Der familiar with the characters to make it
attractive.
Whatever may have been the facts as to
this, now that the entertainment is over, it
is demonstrated that it attracted the largest
audience ever assembled in Deer Lodge, and
that it was remarkably successful in every
way. OF the 156 characters assigned, there
were ia present in costume, and the receipt
of 1926 at 80 cents each for adults, shows
there was between 800 and 600 people pres
enr OF course it was not expected to be up
to the standard of a professional entertain
ment, or even that of amateurs with good
stage and costuming facilities, but those who
planned it "builded better than they knew"
and while all of the scenes were good and
the characters well represented, some were
exceptionally so. We noticed as particularly
excellent characterizations that of "Mr.
Peggotty," by \. J. Mcconnell "Joe Gar
gerry" by Charles Harris; "Sam Weller" by
Prof Robinson; sob Trotter," by Will
Dashley; Miss Mowcher," by Annie O'Ban-
non; CDR Mannette, by Will. ONeil; "Dick
Swiveller," by Mr.. Scharnikow; "Tillie
Slowboy," by Miss Fannie Poindexter; "The
-Four Miss Wiliss," by Mrs. Mcmillan, Mrs.
Morgan and the Misses Thomson and Pat
tcrson; Mrs Skewton," by Mrs. O'Baunon;
Mrs Rardell," by Mrs. Vim. Coleman; "Mr.
Dick" by Mr.. A. d. Hoss; and THE Man in
Small Clothes" by Mr.. Copelant.
DIR. ID. j. Mcmillan, as "Mr. Crummles,"
was lord chamberlain at Mrs. Leo Hunters
reception, and appropriately presented the
one hundred and thirty-four characters to
the distinguished authoress of The Exnir-
\ mfBsC az, UUsseIo iS..sufv VI intervening
was the music, Miss Elsie Huntoon, as "The
Phenomenon singing, "'Tis Better to
Laugh than be Sighing;" and Prof. Robinson
and Mrs. Mcpherson singing, "What are the
Wild Waves Saying?" while "The Ivy
Green" was rendered by Prof L. with full
chorus. A very good supper had been pre-
pared by the ladies, and notwithstanding an
audience much larger ahan anticipated, it
seemed like repast of 1.-THE loaves and
fishes" and none went hungering. The
ladies who had the entertainment in charge,
and all who participated, are entitled to con
gratulations on its marked success.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Hiram Perry Kills Nose Morrison and
Himself About a Woman.

Dillon was the scene of tragedy about 3
or 4 a. m. Mondays A. NJ. Morrison, known
as "Msse," and several years ago a resident
of Deer Lodge, kept the Nevada Saloon in
Dillon. After he closed his saloon several
persons went into restaurant for oysters
among them gambler named Hiram Perry
and a woman of the town who had been the
mistress of Perry for some years. Perry was
Jealous of Morrison; picked quarrel with
Morrison, who was unarmed, and shot him
through the head. He then fred at the
woman, breaking her arm, which has since
been amputated, then put the pistol to his
head and blew out his own brains. Both
men died within fifteen minutes and neither
spoke after being shot. Morrison was for
merly a resident of Deer Lodge, and was a
quiet, genial, square man, who made and
retained many friends. Perry was the son Of
Mormon bishop in Ogden, was flash
gambler and Is the person who came near
making serious trouble by killing an indian
In the Ceu- d'Alenes last year. He was q
bad character, and probably the only thing
that saved him from being lynchod was his
suicide on the instant.

THE BIRCH CREEK MURDER.
Return of Haining's Slayer from British
Columbia.
Miner, Dec. I.

Miner, Dec. l.
On yesterday evenings train, bound south,
was Sheriff Jones, Of Dillon, having in
charge w. ID. Morgan, whom he brought
from Victoria, British Columbia, where he
was arrested by the police. The crime for
which Morgan was wanted is peculiar one,
showing all the phases of family quarrel
and the breaking up of marital relations.
NJ organ had been married some years, when
he and his wife separated, after which she
married Fred. Haining. Some time after her
second marriage and during last winter,
Morgan swore out complaint and had both
Haining and his wife arrested under the
Montana statute which prohibits the mar
riage of first cousins. but when the prelimi-
nary examination was held, the prisoners
were discharged. On the morning of the 9th
of July last, about daylight, Haining and his
wife We're returning from ball in wagon,
when they were fred upon from an ambush,
as is supposed, by Morgan, and Haining was
killed and little child on his wife's lap lost
a leg from the effects of the same bullet
Morgan Immediately left the country, and a
reward of 81, 200 was offered by the Governor
for his arrest. Sheriff Jones, of Beaverhead
county, obtained one of his photographs,
had a large number stricken off and flooded
the country with them. Knowing that he
had formerly resided in Victoria, several
were sent to that city, and in few weeks he
received a telegram announcing Morgans
arrest The officer obtained the necessary
requisition papers and went after the pris-
oner, returning yesterday. Mr.. Jones is a
good officer, and worked very hard in this
case, deserving special mention for the ener-
gy he displayed in his search in the neigh
boring hills and valleys.

1T Might Have Been"

A Bozeman special to the Pioneer Press,
dated Dec 9Th, says Joseph Landos placed
his 11.year-old daughter in house of prosti-
tuition and told the landlady to educate her
in the profession, which she did. The Vigi,
lantes took Jandos and hanged him to a
lamp post. His cries aroused the police,
who rescued him, and he is now in care OF
the sheriff.
BozEMAS, Dec. THE 11-year-old daugh-
ter of Joseph Jandos, of Bozeman, was
found in Allie Benson's house of prostitution
on Friday last, where she had been sent by
her father and mother, wit, instructions to
lead a life of shame. As soon as the facts
became known, a number of citizens organ
ICED and ordered Jandos to leave town,
which he did, reaching Helena on Saturday.
Jandos has cost this county more than any
man in it, and at the time he was ordered
out was mixed up in an arson case. This Is
all there is to the alleged lynching.

business, dropped In this week and gave us
some items about one of the Big II ole placer
strikes. Mr.. Baker saw Gilbert Simmons
an old and well known freighter, and Thomas
Warren, an engineer and man of veracity, a
few days ago, and learned from Warren that
he and Henry Lane had struck good pay on
a tributary Of Trail Creek, about / miles
from Big Hole battle ground. Warren and
Lane rocked out Sl3G In three days. There
Is. however, only about two months water in
the gulch, and Simmons is going TO put in a

was organized last week. The gulch is only
one or two miles long

From EiOurO.

DIR. Delthil, in his report made to the
French Academy of Medicine, says that the
vapors of liquid tar and turpentne would
dissolve the fbrinous exudations which
choke up the throat of one in Group and
diphtheria. The patient falls into slumber
and seems to iniale the smoke with pleasure.
The fibrinous membrane soon becomes dc
tached, and the patient coughs up microbi-
cideS. In the course of three days the patient
RECEIVERS. The after treatment is to wash
the throat of the child with coal tar and lime
water These fumigations instantly destroy
all kinds of paraSital insects and mcrocosms,
and are excellent disinfectants. Under this
method healthy children and others have
approached the sick bed without the slight
est danger of contracting the terrible disease
This treatment, so simple and so marvellous,
is thus at once both an absolute remedy and
precious preventive.
The directions are: Take equal parts of
tnrpentine and tar, say three tablespoonfulls
of each, pour on pie-pan and burn on the
top of stove in the room of the patient.
