Gallant Road Gentry.

The chivalrous character of the
people Of Montana is we'll known, says
the Butte Miner. But II remained for
the very courteous road agents who
robbed the express train on the North
ern Pacific, Saturday night, to prove
that the very air is so permeated with
afiability that il affects even those who
gsllop into the territory on missions Of
robbery bent. Nothing could excel
the polish with which the masked
raiders deferred to the feelings OF the la
dies on the train; and the lack Of pre-
cipitstion with which they paid their
respects to the trembling men In the
palace coaches, shows that these road
gentry were robbers Of no ordinary
character. However, the event was
so unexpected, not to say startling and
exciting, to the patrons Of the popular
Northern Pacific, that they will wish
the authorities all success in their
efforts to capture the gallant robbers,
however deferential the lattor were in
their proceedings. Indeed, the rarity
of an occursnce like this in Montana
is such that our people do not care to
take the trouble to accustom them
selves to like proceedings, to say moth
ing of the effect on the travelling public
who. it is painfully well known, have
been fleeced in more gigantic propor-
tions and In more insidious though
not more respectful manner, at every
railroad restaurant west Of the Missis-
sippi. Thisis the frat time, We be-
lieve, that any attempt has been made
to rob railway train in this territory.
The manner In which it was done
shows that the operators were anna.
teurish to q pronounced degree; and
we wish to assure the transcontinent
al traveller that he need not hesitate
about proceeding on his journey on
account Of fear of a repetition of this
occurrence. The railway, territorial
and United States governmental
authorities are after the robbers.

The mantle was literally cloth Of gold.
for IL was a very supple gold tissue, with

of the duchy OF Finland. The train Of

Miss Alcott to Young Authors.

Each must work in his own way, and
the only drill needed is TO keep writing
and profit by criticism. Mind grammar,
spelling and punctuation, use short
words and express as briefly as you can
yOur meaning. Young people use too
many adjectives and Try TO write fine. "
The strongest, simplest words are best,
and no foreign ones if it can he helped.
Write and print If you can, If not, still
write and improve as you 20 on. Read
the best books and they will improve
your style. See and hear good speakers
and wise people, and learn Of them.
