Burmese cats are curious looking ami
mails. They have joint in the middle
of their tails, which appendage is in con-
sequence crooked and sticks out in an
angle. They are fine specimens of the
cat race and very useful in a house.
They will attack venomous snake with
ont hesitation, and show much dexterity
in killing one, biting it on the back close

their heads, and put their two hands

amusing thing is to see two old ladies

TELL THE TRUTH.

These are the remarkable words that
probably elected Grover Cleveland presi-
dent of the United States. Tell the truth
are the words A. I. Stewart impressed
upon his employees and made him the
richest man in the United States. Telling
the truth is the very best principle in
business. 1t does not pay to lie about
goods. 1t is foolish to tell customer
that you are selling him all-wool carpets
at so cents yard, because there is land
that is hotter than this, and the customers
will consign you to an everlasting July
therein. Thomson tells the truth about
his goods. If a carpet is half cotton he
will tell you 50. Knowing the superior
quality Of the goods he buys and the low
prices at which he sells, he requests his
customers to compare the quality of
goods and prices before purchasing. lie
will give you much the largest stock to
choose from. It is not his idea of bust
ness to buy trash to compete with trash.
The best will always come out ahead and
the public will always find the Reliable
Dry Goods House the house they can
rely upon.

he came to Bozeman to visit his brother.
The young financler was charmed with the
Gallatln valley, and declared that the view
from the heights near Bozeman was the
grandest he had ever witnessed. This was
his first visit west and he was astounded
at the vast and varied resources Of this
great territory. He predicts more rapid
development in the future, and says that
the great capitalists are beginning to look
westward for Investments, having every
confidence in its solidity."
