THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.


Constant droppings wear smooth

walking wears out pavements and con
slant reminders that pavements are worr
out and in iilapidated condition, will
it appears, produce remedy. At any
rate, the pavement so often referred to IL
this column, on Union street, as being In
anything but first-class order has during
the past week been repaired by an entire.

in the city. The complimentary remarks
alone are worth the price OF the job. Trade
has been benefited, as the rash on the
barber shop shows. That there are many
pavements that need the same remedy, is
fact too well-known to those who were
out in the evening during the storm last
week.

When we saw gentleman friend OF
ours dress up in cunning attire, with a
pair of kids on, and with sort of Rip
Van Wrinkle gun, shot in four. ounce
vial, and powder in loose piece of paper,
we were not surprised when he came
home at night to find that the game was
still at large, save what his partner had
taken during the day. The only result
was a good appetite.
We should like to make a contract with
some one who could pass our check for
coal, or any other substance, and get
change for the balance, and go halves
with him.
In looking over an old scrap-book, a few
days ago, we came across piece of poetry
that had been written many years ago.
1t was upon subject that fitted position
lately held by US, and although it ia
rather a tough story, there is no doubt
there is some truth in it, and the party
who wrote it knew what be was writing
about. 1t is called the candidate:

A STORE RAILWAY.

Some weeks ago the CHRONICLE men
toned the fact that Raleigh, Lamme &
Co. were about to place In their extern
sive dry goods store, a cash railway sys-
tenn similar to that of Wilson & Co.
Sickness of the man who was to be sent
by the eastern manufacturer of the rail-
way, has hindered the putting in of this
labor saving device, and it Will be two
weeks before the railway system will be
at work. At the same time, similar
system will be put to work in the store
of A. Lamme & Co. The system is diff
ferent from that used extensively in the
east, and is said to combine many inn
provements over the old system. In the
first place it is more rapid, the cash
being conveyed by small car over a
wire, and is shot to and fro by means of
a spring. 1t is simple, rapid and COM

DoG-GoNE THE Doel

Everybody knows John Besserer, the
junior member of the firm of T. G. Pow
er q Co., and everybody knows that
John has weakness for good dogs. His
kennel is not only the best in Montana,
but his setter dog, Highland Chief, is
the finest bred dog in the northwest. If
there is anything that John wakes elo-
quent upon, it is dogs He knows the
winner of every field trial, can tell at a
glance whether or not dog has the re :
CURED points of thoroughbred, and to
hear him describe the merits Of his dogs
is like reading book. Last week John
announced to his most intimate friends
the fact that he was about to receive
another dog. ''the boss of them all, !" and
invited the boys to be on hand when
she arrived. On Thursday he rushed
excitedly down the street with:
"The dogs here. Down to depot now.
Be up on express wagon in few min
utes"
Men and boys to considerable num-
Der gathered at the express Office and
awaited the coming of the wagon, which
FINELY arrived, bearing a large box, in
which a hole was cut, into which feed
could be thrust. Mr.. Besserer excitedly
seized an ak and knocked off board,
out of which large-slzed dog jumped
and ran with all the speed there was in
him. John and the party gave chase,
cornering the dog in a kennel back of
Vogel & Buchler's place. As they were
about to drag the animal from his hiding
place, an excited Teuton appeared upon
the scene, wildly gesticulating.
"Vhst for you take the toy" he said,
Mr.. Vogel hat paid his tog license"
Imagine Mr.. Besserer's feelings when
the truth dawned upon him. The boys
had put up job on him, and instead of
fine thoroughbred female setter, he
had been chasing up and down the street
NANCY yellow cur of the male sex. If
this paper fails to appear next week
subscribers will know that we have per.
ished for the cause of truth.
