A Daughter Worth Having

Two gentlemen, friends who had been
parted for years, met in a crowded city
street. The one who lived in the city
was on his way to meet pressing bust
ness engagement. After few express
sions of delight, he said:
Well I'm off I'm sorry, but it can t
be helped. I will look for you to-mor-
row at dinner Remember, two o'clock
sharp. want you to see my wife and
child"
"Only one child p asked the other.
"Only one" came the answer, tender
derby; "a daughter. But she's darling"
And then they parted, the stranger in
the city getting into street.car for the
park. After block or two a group of
FIVE girls entered the car; they all evil
IDENTIFY belonged to families of wealth;
they conversed we'll. Each carried
very deliberately decorated lunch basket;
each was we'll dressed. They, too, were
going 70 the park for picnic. They
seemed happy and smiable until the car
again stopped, this time letting in pale
faced girl of about eleven and sick boy
of four These children were shabbily
dressed, and on their faces were looks of
distress. They, too, were on their way
to the park. The gentleman thought 30;
80 did the group of girls, for he heard
one of them say with lcok of disdain

mo, indeed But there is 90 account
ing for tastes. think there ought to be
special line OF cars for the lower
classes"
All this was spoken in dow tone, but
the gentleman heard it. Had the child,
too? He glanced at the pale face, and
saw tears. He was angry. Just then
the exclamation, "Why, there is Nettie
Wonder where she is going? p caused him
to look out upon the corner, where a
sweet-faced young girl stood beckoning
to the car-driver. When she entered the
car she was warmly greeted by the FIVE,
and they made room for her beside them.
They were profuse in EXPLANATIONS and
questions.
Where are you going?' asked one.

they for p said another.
I'm on my way to Belle Olark's. She
is sick, you know and the flowers are for
her"
She answered both questions at once,
and then glancing toward the door of the
car, saw the pale girl looking wistfully
at her. She smiled at the child with q
tender look beaming from her beautiful
eyes, and then, forgetting she wore a vel
vet skirt and costly jacket, and that her

over to the little one. Shelaid one hand
on the boy thin cheeks as she asked Of
his sister
"Thie little boy is sick she not p and

On the Playground.

Come out and play tennis, Mabel"
81 can't, Paul, said Mabel in com
planning tone; 81 loaned my racket to
Cousin Jack, and he hasn't brought it
back. I think it's too bad of Jack" con-
tinued Mabel, speaking now to her aunt,
who was in the room. II want my
racket particularly just now, for we're
practicing for the prize Uncle Harvey
has offered. It's full tennis set-as nice
one as can be bought-and Paul and I
have set our hearts on winning it. But
Jack always borrowing my racket"
Hash he one of his own p
"No Aunt Sarah told him che couldn t
afford to buy him one, so Jacks been
trying to earn one, but hasn't done 1t
yet"
"Poor fellow wish he had one. How
nice it would be if he could win the set u
Mabel's face clouded with flush Of
anger You heard me say we wanted it,
Aunt Emily ?"
Eyes, dear; and I'm always glad of
anything in which you succeed. 1t only
occurred to me that as Jack has nothing
of the kind, it would be very pleasant to
him to win it by his own skill"
"Here's your racket, Mabel" cried a
CHEEKY voice outside the window.
The racket was laid upon the sill as
the same voice continued: "Hope I
haven't kept it too long"
Mabel's answer was not very gracious
as she took the racket and went out.
Cant you stay and play with US ?"
asked Paul to Jack.
I'D like to, but Mr.. Lee promised me
little work up at the greenhouse this
morning"
Jack went his way, and Mabel and
Paul practiced carefully at the delight
lul game. But there was cloud over
Mabels spirits which she could not help
knowing was due to jealous feeling
against Jack.
He was the only competitor she feared
in the contest for the tennis set, and in
her very heart of hearts she felt that it
was mean and selfish in her to feel so de-
termined to win from him.
But our tennis set is getting old, che
declared to herself; and then--it len t
just for the set, but for the honor Of win
ming by the best play"
She played better than usual, becom-
ing almost as excitedly interested in
the game as if it mad been the final con-
test
Advantage out f. cried Paul.
Mabel poised herself for a final effort;
| bur at the critical moment two dogs be-
longing to Jack rushed over the grass to-
ward her. As she made the stroke che
tripped over one Of them and fell, her
racket underneath her, breaking the han
die.
"Hurrah hurrah Come here, Rovel
come here, Carlo you mustn't run across
there. They are 80 fond of you, Mabel,
] can't keep them of
Jack came running up with smile on
his fresh young face. "You don't know
what a rare stroke Of luck I've had - he
cried.
Mabel turned on him face flaming
with anger You've spoiled our game"

The Manitoba Ext o II.

After discussion of sss. ious routes
likely to be taken by the Pacific coast ex-
tension of the Manitoba road through the
Rockies, it would seem from the utter
ances of prominent railroader in st.
Paul that the following will probably be,
if it has not already been decided upon,
as it is rumored here. This route leaves
the Montana Central at point near Car
terville, runs up the Dearborn canon to
the headwaters of the Dearborn, crosses
the divide to the headwaters of the Black
foot, down which 1t runs to Missoula.
The divide at this point can be crossed
with little difficulty. 1t is q high grade
crossing, but not more SO than that
on which the Montana Central crosses to
Butte, or than those of the Northern Pa
cifc over both the Rocky and Bitter Root
mountains. While this would place
Helena and Butte upon the side track, it
would not materially affect the roads
business from these points. The roads
prospects for Butte business are now
much poorer than they were year ago
The Northern Pacifc's Butte and Gala
tin branch will be finished before Christ
mas, and be by many miles a short line
from st. Paul. 1t seems probable that 8
new coast route will start up Dearborn
canon and go west to Missoula.-1nde-

Train Robbers Abroad,

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Nov. 2O.-An at
tempt was made near Marietta, Indian
Territory, Monday night, to rob the Kan
sas City mail and express. Five masked
men were discovered concealed in the
brush near the Santa Fe track. The fact
was telegraphed to this city and to the
conductor of the south bound Kansas
City train. Officers went from here on a
special train to where the masked men
were seen but failed to find them. This
is the second attempt made to rob the
Kansas City train. at the same point in
the last two weeks. Z. B. Bunch the no
torious train robber is known to have
been in that vicinity. The attempted
robberies are believed to be his work.

Company A at the Park.

The grand ball given by the Militia
boys at the Park hotel last night was one
long to be remembered. The success of
the first ball given by them was one of
the most brilliant affairs of the kind ever
seen in Great Falls and the notoriety
they achieved in their first attempt and
the courteous and social way in which
everyone was treated only assured all
that their next dance would not be fail
ure, consequently there was gathered at
the Park a splendid party of this best and
most popular people of our city. The
young, the old, the beautiful and gay all
enjoying themselves in way that would
make man afflicted with the rheumatism,
dance for joy.
The exhibition drill as announced to
commence the entertainment of the eve
ming was given by almost the entire COM
pany and was witnessed by a large num-
ber of spectators. This exhibition was
what is known as the silent drill, the
manual of arms being executed without
a single command and the boys accredited
themselves nobly.
After this came the grand march and
then the dancing began in good earnest.
The great dining room at the Park was
fairly overflowing with lovers who "trip
the light fantastic" and when quadrille
was called no trouble was experienced in
filling twelve sets.
Before leaving the Arion, where the
company collected to march to the hotel,
basket was brought in and from its hid
den depths were taken some of the most
dainty button hole bouquets, with which
each one was presented. The flowers
were a present to the boys from Mrs. s
S. Hawkins, were composed mostly OF
geraniums and set the snowy dress suits
off to superb advantage. Capt. Jenser
received from this profusion of flowers 6
large vase-boquet composed of fucias.
It was estimated that over 200 people
were present and although the actua
number of tickets sold could not be &C
curately calculated there were between
so and 100. making the ball not only {
great social event, but financial success
as we'll.
The dancing was carried into the small
hours of the morning and every one pres
ent wended their way homewards wish
ing Co. A. increased success and hope
that their entertainments may not be un
frequent in Great Falls.
Owing to ill health Capt. Jensen wa'
compelled to leave the merry company
early in the evening, but his heart wal

Red Lodge Picket (democratic): There
are lot of hot-headed chumps in both
political parties in Montana that are talk
ing about war that would not stand up
in front of pop-gun if it was loaded
with powder.
The Helena Independent by its in
hammatory utterances is winning the
cordial dislike of all level-headed demo-
Gratis in Montana. If that paper wants
war let old Lyman fight it. AT the first
crack of gun he would light out with
head up tail over left breast and make
numerous tracks for the east.
Some of the silly democratic Journals
are talking about putting in certain can
didates if they have to do 80 at the point
of the bayonet. Let that foolhardiness
be indulged in and there will be more
blue coats in Helena than you can shak 6
q stick at.

The Bender Case.

OswEeo, N. Y, Nov. 2O.-The exami-
nation Of Mrs. Monroe and Mrs. Eliza
Davis, the women supposed to be old
Mrs. Bender and Kate Bender was con-
cluded late last night. The three JUS
tices before whom the examination was
made decided that the evidence was
strong enough to warrant holding them
prisoners without bail, to await the action
of the grand jury. The general public
here is in sympathy with the prisoners
and much surprise was expressed when
the decision was announced.

Strong Facts.

On next Saturday the first state legis-
lature will be organized and its principal
business will be the election of two
United States senators. Should the
democrats control the organization, which
is not probable, a lively fight will be at
once inaugurated. Hon. Samuel I
Hauser and Hon. W. w. Dixon on one
side will undertake to capture the honors
from Major Maginnis and W. A. Clark on
the other side. The two gentlemen last
mentioned will run onztheir records as
straight and loyal democrats, which they
are; but as the money and influence is on
the other side they will likely be defeat
ed. The Northern Pacific is a strong
corporation to buck. 1t will insist, should
the legislature be democratic, that it car
ried the state for Toole and made two
democratic senators possible.
There is said to be an almighty row
brewing between the democratic leaders
and the men who were entrusted with
the handling Of their cash. The former
put up $35O,000 to make this territory
democratic and the result was the prac-
tical dead loss of that vast sum of money.
There is absolutely nothin 6 to show for
it except the governorship. Particular
and strenuous efforts had been made to
capture Silver Bow county. Upwards of
100000 was ordered to be expended
here Every kind of fraud and corrup-
ton that ingenuity could devise was
practiced. The county was colonized,
( floating republican votes were sent away
and othes names voted by the democratic
toughs. The money was practically un-
! limited, and still, despite all the knavish
work performed, the result showed re-
publican majority for Carter and nearly
all the county ticket. 1t was then that
the suspicion arose that there had been
some funny business going on with the
cash department and the men who were
entrusted with the fine work of the cam
paign are now under the ban. The latter
repel the insinuations of bad faith and as
