The observer Of small things must
be now and then amused at the efforts
which men make toward personal
adornment. They are tyros in the art
compared to the clumsiest and least
skillful Of women. Perhaps the most
notable thing is the case with which
men are usually satisfied with single
and small bit Of decoration. One man,
for instance, makes it an invariable
custom to wear n fresh rose in his but
ton-hOle every day. His boots may
not be polished, and his hat may be
dentcd ani old, but his complacency
is absolute. Another man wears II
large diamond pin and literally ex-,
posed shirtfront which is more or less
strange to the ironing board, and a
third walks about complacently with
his hands encased in magnificent fur
gloves while his shoulders are destitute
Of an overcoat. Nothing ever disturbs
his equanimity, and he is apparently
unable to realize that there can be
such thing as flaw in the general
excellence OF his attire, as long as the
particular feature on which he rests
his faith is there. Man in nineteenth
century garb is certainly not thing
of beauty.-Once a Week.
| The Baltimore Sun advances Il
theory. which, if correct, is startling
to the South. 1t says the policy of
the tariff lords, who absolutely con-
trol the Republican party, is to ruin
the South and thus destroy the cOmpe-
tition in the iron and cotton manu-
featuring industries which is severely
crippling those industries at tlla
North. This may seem IL farfetchesl
idea, but t.lese lords would scruple at
nothing to subserve their own inter
ests. They elected the Republican,
ticket, and if they conld control legis-
lation that would turn the South over
to barbarism would not he slow to ds
| it. The rapid progress in manufae-
lures being made in this section j.
well calculated to alarm them is<.

There is no constitutional or legal re-
quirement that the president shall take
the oath of office in the presence of the peo-
pie. But there is so manifest an appro-
priateness in the public introduction to

nation that from the beginning of the
government the people to whose service
the official oath consecrates the officer
have been called to witness the solemn
ceremonial. The oath taken in presence

a Suggestion.

The bigotry of one of the members Of
the city council is somewhat amusing
II he was trying to get work done cheaply
and working for the interest of the cit,
instead of the Great Falls Blatter, he
would have sought for bids. Is there
any question about that?
We would simply call the attention Of
the council to few legal points: "Iu
making contracts by the city council the
yeas and nays shall be called and re-
corded.-Section 347, Revised Statutes.
The minutes show this was not done,
Section 345 prescribes that no mayor
or alderman shall be directly or in
directly interested in the profits of any
contract entered into while in office.
The same law holds in regard to a
member of the school board.
Section 1871 of the amendatory act pro-
vides for contracts being let to the lowest
bidder. When bids are given it is the
rule to advertise and to give notice to all
persons desirous of bidding.
This was not done and the LEADER had
no notification whatever of the bidding.
1t is not the custom for men who really
want to get low bids to avoid giving no.
tice and to have it carefully kept in the
dark. We have some Interesting in
formation regarding the star chamber
but will have to delay it on ac-
count of space.

Rough on Jerry,

The Choteau Calumet, after congratu-
lating Mr.. Harber, of the Benton Press,
on his marriage, continues: Mr.. Harber
went to Fort Benton about five years age
and bought out hungry Jim's interest in
the River Press, paying more for the
stock than the whole concern was worth
Jerry Collins is generally credited with
the success of the paper, but it was
Harber's money and labor that supported
Jerry as well rs the press until fire and
the failure of the Record brought them

welded career is not equally prosperous

JUST THINK OF IT.!

Great Falls is today on the direct
through line to the Pacific coast, and the
shortest, too, by 225 miles, from St. Paul
or San Francisco to Puget Sound. This
great achievement has been SO noiselessly
consummated that our citizens have not
yet awakened to the fact. "Can it be
possible?" exclaimed an intelligent gen
| mistake about this" "No, sir" replied
the railroad magnate, ut is all true,
Great Falls, which one year ago had no
railway connection anywhere, is today,
not alone the western terminus of the
great st. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba
system, the eastern terminus Of the ele-
CANT Montana Central, the scenic route of
the Northwest, as also the terminus of
the Sand Coulee Coal branch and Mon
tana Smelter branch roads; but it is on
the main line of the shortest, safest and
most attractive railway route across the
American continent great Manitoba
Pacific route, via the Oregon r. & n,
the Union Pacific Oregon Short Line, the
Montana Central and St. Paul, Minneapo
lis d Manitoba railways"
"Do you mean to say that l can now
at Great Falls, procure ticket that will
take me direct to Puget Sound or San
Francisco?'
81 mean nothing short of that, sir. By
this new line you will from Great Falls
pass over the Montana Central, skirting
along the Upper Missouri for a distance
OF sixty miles, thence nearly forty miles
through the famous. Prickly Pear can
yon, including scenery unsurpassed in
sublimity and beauty Of landscape else
where on the continent. Thence via
Helena to Butte, the greatest mining
camp in the world with its scores of copper
and silver smeltcrs; thence via the Union
Pacific and Oregon railway to Portland
and all points on Puget Sound and the
Pacific coast"
"That settles it. Till now l have
thought Great Falls almost as far away
from the Pacific ocean as St. Paul or
Chicago. Now I'm going to take tour
to the Pacific without delay" And the
novitiate lit out with new radiance on
his face.

all modern convenicnces. The parlors
and bedrooms are on the second floor.
Every room is completely and tastefully

A VALENTINE,
WRITTEN FOR THE LEADER. I

Today, its said, in forests deep,
Where brooks meath icy covers sleep,
And ferns and flowers the spring await,
Each little bud selects its mate.
In twittering crowds they hover round
Nor heed the snow that hides the ground;
1t soon will vanish, well they know,
When April's breezes softly blow,
Hope nlls with Joy each tiny heart,
Though pierced by Cupid's fiery dart,
And loud they chant In notes divine
The praise Of good Saint Valentine.
II birds In songs 50 wondrous clear
Rejoice DER loves that change each year,
Far sweeter then should be the song
Of those whose love must be lifelong.

A Coffln Full Of Opium.

Recent Singapore papers report an extra
ordinary case Of smuggling at Sourabaya, in
Java. A Chinese passenger having died on
board junk which was anchored in the
roadstead, the health officer of the port went
OFF and, after viewing the body, gave the nec-
essary permit for burial. The master of the
junk then came on shore and ordered large
coffin of the usual Chinese kind. During the
early hours of the morning, the crew with the
coffin landed, and the funeral procession
passed along the streets amid the burning Of
sacrifcial papers, beating of gongs and the
other customary demonstrations Of sorrow.
One Of the crew walked in front carrying the
burial permit. After the funeral the party
went back to the junk, which Immediately
put out to sea. In the middle of the day
some natives found an empty coffin in the
road close by the Chinese cemetery, which
not only smelt strongly of opium but also
had small particles of the drug adhering to
its Sides The custom house authorities
found the maker of the coffin, who identified
it as the one supplied to the master of the
junk, and the dead body Of the Chinaman
was washed ashore soon afterwards, so that it
was clear he had been thrown overheard,
and the burial permit used to smuggle on
shore large coffin full of opium.

Burr and Hamilton.

Awell known gentleman, recently deceased,
one day related the following incident: III
was standing in my street door raising my
umbrella, and just about to issue forth on
important business into the miast of a sudden
and heavy fall of rain. An old lady at that
moment passed along the pavement quite un-
protected from the drenching storm. I inn
mediately sprang out and offered her this
shelter of my umbrella and to accompany her
to her residence. She courteously accepted
the service. Having arrived at her home,
which was near the presidents house, after
the most agreeable conversation along the
way, I had hidden her adieu and turned to
depart when she said, with all the sweet po-
iteness Of olden times: TO whom am in
debted for this great kindnessg MY name,
Ireplied, is Burr And mine, she added
emotion overpowering her almost to fainting

the widow of Alexander Hamilton, our first
secretary of the treasury, who was slain in a
duel by one whose name unfortunately
