MANAGING A HUSBAND.

| One ofthe greatest mysteries of life is how
some women manage husband so charm
ingly, while others make such doleful fail
ures. was visitor on one occasion in a
certain household, where the man of the
house was not an object of the least solici
family; in fact, he was simply tolerated as a
sort of draught-horse to keep the family
machinery moving. I used to feel sorry for
him when he would come home at night
with such careworn and troubled look on
his face, for knew only too we'll what au
exactng wife he had. who literally kept his
nose to the grindstone. When she would
eye him suspiciously and in u fretfu voice
ask him 'why be did not come home Soon
er," and then would commence such series
of questioning, that if I had been in his
place it would have driven me out OF the
house This wife knew her man, and the
man was used to this sort of "home rule"
the one object of his life being to keep
peace in the family.
Some men love to be petted and praised,
and if they don't get it at home they are
pretty apt to seek it elsewhere They are
Jolly and jovial in disposition, and love good
company and congenial companionship, and
if the attractions of home are not brighter
and better than they can find outside, the
lesser attraction will go the wall. There
are any number of men, especially among
the soft.hearted of their sex, who dearly
love to be managed. They glory in hearing
the persuading voice in their ear and to feel
loving arms around their necks. Being
masters of the situation, they observe with
inward amusement the little arti6ces of the
fair diplomats and pardon them for the mere
pleasure it gives them of yielding. They
never lose sight of the fact, however, that if
necessity required it "they could
kick over the traces and smash
spinters." Woe be unto the woman who,
drawing the reins too tightly and forcing
them to the conclusion that they have been
too indulgent.
Where TO draw line requires the most
discriminating judgment on the part of u
wife in all matters pertaining to domestic
bliss. Men are jealous Of their prerogatives,
and being the heads of at least their family,
when they know their power is recognized
and properly acknowledged in the house
hold, they seldom feel there is any occasion
to assert their authority.
There are many stupid husbands who do
not know they are being managed, and
many clever woman who make their hus-
bands believe they are the most submissive
Of wives, gaining control of them without
once alarming or wounding their self-respect
or vanity, making them think the way they
are being led is just the way they had plan
ned.

A PARIS EXECUTIoN-The President OF
the Republic has departed from his almost
invariable rule of reprieving in the case of
kenig, alias lie Mone," one Of the two
low young rutfiaus sentenced to death at the
Asszes of the Seine on the 10th Of February,
for the murder of dock aborer on the
Champ de Mars. Forget, the principal &C
complice, was reprieved. BY o'clock in
the morning NJ. Deibler gave the signal
that the guilotne was ready for its morn

on the Place de la Roquette went into the
La Roquette Prison. Kpnig was found fast
asleep in his cell.
On being awakened and told his hour had
come he sat up in bed with start and,
turning deathly pale, as his frame began
trembling, he exclaimed in terrified voice:
"But tell you did not commit the murder

The Abbe Faure approached the condemned
man and exhorted him to more frmness.
Kenig threw the blanket away from him and
jumped out of bed, saying in tones of de-
spair: well, if must 60. But it is too
awful, tell you. I am innocent. In any
case / do not care !" This said he began to
cry, and as the Able mentioned the name
of his mother to him be exclaimed: "Ah,
yes, my mother, my poor mother. 1t is hard

leaving his legs barely free enough to shuttle

At 5:25 the procession issued from the
prison gates. The appearance of the mur

"Oh, gentlemen" he whined, II am inno

the puillotine was reached, and presently
his groans aud cries changed to shrieks o

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

For the past month, Fred Becquette
ON Monday nights has attended l. 0. U. r.
lodge, taking his wife to neighbours,
and returning for her after lodge. For
five weeks they have missed articles OF
trifing value, and although the furni-
ture was left undisturbed, apparently,
Mr.. Becquette came to the conclusion
that q thief had gained possession of a
duplicate key to his residence aid en-
tered during his absence. Acting on this
suspicion he took his wife to his friends
house on Monday night as usual; and
then hastily returning to his house by
the back way, locked the doors and hid
himself up stairs. Soon some one came
to the front door, unlocked it and en-
tered. Mr.. Becquette crawled to the
top of the stairs and when the thief
came within few feet of him, fired his
revolver with harmless results. The
thief then ran down Bozeman Street,
toward the depot. Mr.. Becquette follow
ing and keeping up fusilade, one shot
entering the fleeing mans leg. ID. Hell
linger, who coming up the road, although
compelled to lay down on the ground to
keep from being shot, had forethought
enough to carefully observe the pursued
individual who, he informed the pursuer
was none other than Sam Lee, the pro-
prietor of the Bozeman street wash
house. Mr.. Bequette at once sought
Deputy Sheriff Anderson, who hid near
the Chinaman's house, and soon after
wards captured him. The wounded
thief was taken to jail, where he now
lies. This is the first thieving that has
been done in Bozeman for some time,
and there are many who regret that
Mr.. Bequette did not take steadier aim
and furnish a Chinese corpse. While
the Chinaman claims that he went to
MIR. Becquette's to collect bill and be
fore he entered the house was shot at
This is hardly plausible story, as Mr.
Hellinger says that he was asked by
Becouette TO come to the house and re-
nam with him during the evening, as
he expected the thief who had entered
for the past month would be on hand
again. The matter will be fully ex-
! planned in the cOuras as soon as possible

DIED, HOMELESS AND ALONE.

About the 9th of December, man
about fifty-two years of age, who gave
his name as Geo. C. Snead, arrived in
Bozeman from the west. He was penni-
less and had evidently suffered from the
pangs of hunger; he was emaciated and
bore the air of one broken by hardships
and sickness. His bearing was that Of a
gentleman and his conversation at once
sutiined the surmise. He forthwith sought
DR.. Monroe of Monroe's dispensary and
asked for work; stating that he was q
graduate of a Richmond, Va. medical
college: that he had been surgeon in
the Confederate army; for several years
he had worked in San Francisco and
owing to i'll health had sought the mount
aims. The doctor replied that he had
nothing for him to do. The next evening
he returned and asked if he could get
job of wood-sawing; whereupon the doc
tor gave him sufficient money to buy
meal, and also gave him use of a bed
room in the building, until he could find
work Every morning he left the room,
returning in the evening, until the first
of the month, when light work was pro-
vided for him by his benefactor. Soon
after this the doctor, observing a light
late one night in the bed room went to
see if the man was i'll and found him
repeating "Hamlet's Sollloquy," after
which he remarked, ives: how easy it
would be to end this life with a bare
botkin." The doctor was thereafter afraid
that the mans mind had become effected
and that he was meditating suicide; but
on Thursday night death came and re-
leased the troubled split from its weak
habitations. On Thursday DR.. heard
noise in the rear of his store which he
found to be caused by fall of the faint
ing man, who was put to bed. Drs. Mon
roe and Whitefoot both administering
the necessary medical treatment. On
Friday morning at half past four he ex-
pired. Nature was exhausted in him.
Someone has said that there is something
in sickness that breaks down the pride
of manhood; but here died man amid
plenty, too proud to ask for enough food
to sustain life: who died from starvation,
with his condition unknown. From his
conversation it is known that he was
unmarried, with one sister by the name
of Mrs. Thompson, living in Richmond.
After his death the body was turned
over to Judge Hartman and now lies in
an unmarked grave in a remote and neg
lected corner of our cemetery on the
hill

THE oRAu.coMPANY.

The opening night, this company did
not play to as large q house as was an
ticipated, owing no doubt to stormy
weather The piece, La Mascotte, was
well rendered and received merited ap-
plause. The second night, Chimes of
Normandy. was not received with as
great enthusiasm, doubtless owing to
the lack of funny characters. The sing
ing, however. was fine, and was repeat
eddy applauded. The MikadO was re-
ceiYed by packed house. and greatly
enjoyed. The expense Of bringing such
large company to Bozeman from Deer
Lodge was necessarily very great. Had
the Mikado been presented two nights,
instead of the Chimes of Normandy,
the pecuniary results Of the venture
would have been far different. The
company left ON Sunday for Miles City.

TIMBERLINE ITEMS.

TimberlIne is the third town in point
of population in Gallatin County; and
seldom seeing anything in the columns
of the CHRONICLE relating to its local
happenings. your correspondent in the
present instance, herewith sends several
items which may be of interest to some
of your readers. About 300 men are
employed at the coal mines at the pres
ent time, being a greater number than
eyer before in the service of the COM
pany at Timberline. The coal prodCct
during the past month was som ewhat in
excess of 5000 tons per week. 1t is
shipped as far west as the North Yakima
valley, Washington territory, and to all
points in Montana reached by the N. P.
and U. & N. R. RS.
Work is being vigorously prosecuted
in driving shaft 900 feet in depth on
the Bonanza vein. Supt. Graham be-
lieves that by working from 300 and 900
foot levels, the quality of the coal will
be much superior to that produced under
present and past workings. At present
the coal is run down chutes from 500 to
800 feet on an incline, and coming so
great distance on a slant almost per-
pendicular, it is broken much finer than
it will be when worked on 300 and 600
foot levels.
Supt Graham is thorough miner, and
understands everything relating to the
most approved methods of handling and
working coal to the best advantage. He
is the only superintendent SO equipped
and qualified who has ever been in
charge of the mines at Timberline, and
it is worthy of remark, in this connec-
ton, that all visitors to the mines unite
in bestowing great praise upon Mr. Ora
ham for the improved state of affairs
since he took charge.
In the spring, when the shaft opening
the 300 and 600 foot levels is completed
the production will equal 1000 tons per
day, instead of 300 and 500 tons, as in
the present and past; and this increased
production Will necessitate the employ
ment of larger force of men in the
mines, all of which will add largely to
the material wealth and current trade
of Gallatln county.
Clarence M. Doane was injured in the
mines last week, by being caught be-
tween the wall and car. He is now
able to be around.
John Sigler and family have lately
arrived in camp, from Allegany Co., Nd.
w. w. Hubbard, special agent of the
Pacific Life ms. Co. has taken out during
the past week, between 20 and 80 poll
cies at Timberline. Several miners who
were insured some months past and who
have since met with injuries in the
mines, speak in terms of high common
dation of the handsome treatment
which they have received from this
company.
During Christmas week the children
of Timberline, between the ages of two
and fifteen were given Christmas tree,
by Chas. w. Hoffman & Co. The branch
es of the tree were loaded with choice
and well selected gifts, and the hearts of
nearly 200 children were gladdened by
the generosity and practical kindness OF
this the happlest, gladdest festival of the
year. More anon. =.
