farmer. By some strange fate he drift"t to
Chattanooga, but no one remembered him,
and he could find no trace OF any OF MS
folks. He learned that family named
starns resided near the city, and. procuring
n carriage, took drive to ascertain whether
or not they we're his relatives. Arriving at
the house Starns was Mortified to find the
aged, white-haired lady who received him
was no other than his first wife, and he re-
allied the fact that he had two wives. An
exclamation followed, and the two wives
were introduced, but each exhibited
marked GOODNESS. All refuse to talk, and it
is not known what they will do.
A Horrible Judicial Proceeding.
An extraordinary experiment, unprece-
dented in judicial annals, was gone through
in Brussels recently. at the hospital DE
Saint Jean, in connection with the case OF
the woman cut in pieces by Midwife Rode
let and her lover, Masquelier. The former,
who denies the accusation, tried to throw
discredit on Masquelier's confession by
stating that he was physically incapable OF
cutting up body in the manner described
by himself. In consequence Masquelier
was requested by the authorities to cut up
ut the hospital De Saint Jeane the body OF
dead woman lying there for dissection.
Masquelier assented, and the experiment
took place before the judges and crowd Of
medical authorities. Masquelier was at
first very much upset, but recovering from
his emotion he took up n kitchen knife and
chopped the legs, arms and head of the
dead body exactly rs he had described. The
terrible operation lasted twenty-five min
ntes and filled the witnesses with horror
while convincing the judges of the accuracy
of Masquelier's confession.

THE following editorial from the
Billings Herald is well put and as 1t
covers the ground thoroughly we pub
lish without comment: "The closed
out miners at Timberline have appar-
emily been subjected to q system of
oppression that entitled them to the
sympathy they have received through
out Montana. Should they, however,
carry out the threat Of melting a gen.
eral strike over the Northern Pacific
the face of the case would be entirely
altered. The Northern Pacific coal
company is not the Northern Pacific
railroad by any means. 1t is simply
one of the several side concerns which
live on the great corporation, and
though some individuals hold stock
in both companies, there Is no
actual identity. The two companies
differ very widely in the treatment OF
their employees, and SO far as we know
the railroad employees have no
grievances to redress. Yet Mr..
Bailey, the missionary Of the
Knights from Pennsylvania, inti-
mates that the coal company alone has
the power TO save the Northern Pacific
country from repetition of the SOUTH
western reign of terror. Employees OF
the Northern Pacific and the people
Of the northwest generally would like
TO see the miners justly treated, but

Many of the honest citizens wear
heavy wooden shoes, which render their
gait laborious and ungraceful A num-
Der of the bellies Of the lower classes drag
these heavy shoes along with them. The
children seem to be able to manage their
wooden shoes much easier than the
grown people. When a dozen or more
little urchins indulge in a romp in the
street they set up clatter which can be
heard for blocks. The mother who
wishes to find her naughty child who has
left its task for street play does not at
first use her eyes in the search for the
juvenile delinquent. She quietly sticks
one of her ears out of the window, and
when she hears loud clatter that sug-
gests the tearing down of houses in the
neighborhood she rushes toward this
sound, guided by her ears. When at
length, breathing forth threaterings and
slaughter, she leads home her shrieking
offspring. the cries of the latter are
drowned by the music of its companions
footballs.
The great advantage of the wooden
shoe is its staying powers. Every one
does not require new pair of wooden
shoes in his OF her lifetime. When the
honest citizen is informed by the bloom
ing daughter that she would like to have
new pair of wooden shoes he frowns
and says MY child, what is the matter
with that pretty pair which your grand
mother received as her wedding gift!
They are still neat, although not gaudy.
You must remember that times are hard,
and that family expenses must be kept
down." The common people seem to
understand how to live cheaply. Many
Of the laboring men earn but so cents q
day and yet manage to support families
and at the same time lay up enough
money to give a decent burial to those
members of their families who find
themselves unable to keep up the task OF
trying to live.-Antwerp Cor. New York

Edward L. Huston Makes a Leap In the Dark

In December, 1885, Edward L. Hus-
ton was tried and convicted at Deer
Lodge for having stolen a horse and
other property from Eph. Thomas, of
the upper valley. He was sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary.
Tuesday night he was detailed to sit
up with sick man, and at 4 a. m. the
patient wanting a drink, Guard Rob-
bins took Huston, who carried a pail,
to the well for water. 1t was quite
dark yet, and as they reached the
well Huston dropped the bucket, ran
for the fence and sprang up on the
gate. Robbins called to him to halt
and fired at him at distance of three
or four feet, as Huston was on top of
the fence. Huston shrieked 80 he was
heard in the prison, but kept on.
Robbins fired again, and hearing
Huston drop on the outside of the
fence, went In the prison and stated to
the other guards his belief that he
had killed him. But on examination
Huston was nowhere to be found, nor
any traces Of blood. Quickly as
possible, dozen or twenty men
were sent to beat the dense
brush along the river. but 1t is SO
thick as to be almost impenetrable
and furnishes almost absolute conceal
ment. At night a Gordon Of watchers
cut him off from southerly progress,
but up to this writing he has not been
retaken. Marshal Kelley offers 500
reward for his capture, or any infor-
nation that will lead thereto.-New
