s Novel Advertisements.

Once of the latest and most successful
advertising schemes is as follows: A
lady receives a letter written on dainty
paper, with an armorial crest or some
thing of the sort stamped OH it. The
letter, which bears all the marks of
having been written by a woman of
exquisite refinement, begins MA
Chere Marie" The chances are that
the lady's name is not Marie, but of
course hat only makes her eager
To read il. She soon discovers from a
number of chance illusions in the
misSlve that IL WAS not intended for
her, and she ut once comes 10 the con-
clusion that an acquaintance who had
been writing 10 her and another lady
at the same time had, by mistake, put
the two letters in the wrong envel-
Opes. This inference causes her 10
read the letter with still more eager
interest, especially a passage in which
''chcre Marie is asked 10 be so good
as 10 order for the writer one of those
lovely sets of furniture from the cele.
brated firm of Cherry, Mahogany q
Co., which they are really almost
giving away. As the letter is only
signed Julie" with no address given,
the request cannot, of course, be com.
piled with; but if the lady who re.
ceives the letter doesn't at once visit
the establishment of Cherry, Mahog-
any Il Co., it is because she is too i'll
to do so,-New York Tribune.

Saturday. December IS, 1889.

LET il be recorded. that on the 27lh
day of December, 1859, the YELLOW
STONE JOURNAL, although ON the
shady side of the street, transacted
business all day long with the doors
open, and for most of the day without
any fire in the building. The spell OF
mild weather which we have ,ni0ytd
for six weeks past is unusual only IN
the limit 10 which ii is prolonged.
We can always count upon IL upt h. the
middle nf ID december, but wi en- it en-
dures till Christmas il becomes worthy
Of comment. Considering that our
winter breaks about the middle OF
February, We certainly have nothing
much to dread now, as cattle are Ia
condition TO stand the worst that can
come without danger OF more than or
binary losses.

A Reward of Merit.

While Tiberius was luxuriating al
Caprea, an artist. who labored under
the %emperor's ~displeasure, discovered
the composition of malleable glass,
and making a vase of the most ex.
quisite beauty, the secret of whose con,
struction was known only to himself,
he begged leave TO present it. The
emperor stood with his court about
him, and when he had returned the
vase, which had excited universal
wonder, the artist, TO every ones con.
sternation, threw it violently on the
earth. The first emotion in the circle
must have been that the man was
mad, the next that the vase was in
sp~linters; to every ones surprise il
vas simply a little dented on one side,
and the artist with a few slight taps OF
his hammer restored it at once TO its
original shape. The emperor, think
ing that an art which could do SO
much with common sand and a few
other equally common materials
would naturally diminish the value of
gold and silver and brass, instantly or
dered the artist to execution. Har.

RUMBLINas OF THE RAIL.



CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 5.--The Evening
Journal says: There is trouble in the
ranks OF the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers. Chief Arthur is a candida Q
for reelection, and as such HIS been max
ing quiet canvass OF the various lodges Of
the Brotherhood. Last week a secret
meeting for this purpose was held in this
city. There were upward OF 200 members
present, representing lodges in Illinois,
Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin,
and with their defeat by the 90" the mo-
mentarily expected reduction OF wages on
the Santa Fe, and the recent discharge by
the Alton OF large number OF brother
hood men fresh in their minds, they were
dissatisfied with the chiefs optimistic
speech.
A member OF the General Grievance
Committee got the floor and, addressing
Chief Arthur, said: "Your speech this
morning pictured our organization as i'm
pregnable and resistess, and that it had
nothing to fear that might threaten it. but
that no misfortune did threaten. Now,
sir, II you believe such state OF things
exists YOU have been incorrectly informed
Of affairs. The truth is, a reduction OF
wages is expected to be made before long
on number OF Western roads. Such
action we do not propose to accept, be-
cause we do not believe ii justified. We
therefore desire to know whether, in the
event oil reduction being ordered, despite
strike"
Chief Arthur did not like the question,
but there was no help for ii. lie had 10
answer. With compressed lips he looked
at the determined faces before him and
said: "Under no condition OF crcum-
stances Of which can conceive shall
ever sanction another strike" A murmur
OF surprise, tinged with Indignation, arose
but ceased as tho Chief continued. "My
reason for this decision Is twofold. In the
first place, i am opposed to strikes on
general principles. In the second place,
to strike would DO practically suicide, for
owing to the inexecrabe laws OF supply
and demand and the large number OF un'
employed engineers in the country, IL
would take but an exceedingly short space
OF time TO fill your places"
But, SIR" broke in the ques,ioner,
suppose reduction Of wages should
occur on the Union Puciic system, where
the Brotherhood is so thoroughly equipped
rs to obtain the granting OF everything
they ask, would not you authorize strike
to resst2"
Without a moments hesitation the
chief replied: "No, sir; would not.
trust and believe that no reduction oil
wages is to be made, but should there be,
and the men follow my advice, they will
accept the reduction. shall never sane
ton another strike"
Chief Arthur stopped and the meeting
adjourned. Murmurs OF discomfort have
been heard ever since II was known that
the chief had a strong dislike TO strikes,
but that his conservatism was so extreme
NJ his speech showed 1t TO DO it was never
dreamed.
