SPRAY OF THE FALLS,


Mr.. W. w. Dewitt of Lewistown, a
leading merchant of the Judith is in
town.
Mrs. J. G. Kane and daughter of Tor
quay, England, are guests Of Mrs. George
Martins. n
Major Baldwin, the successful agent at
the Piegan reservation, was in town to-
day on his way to Helena.
Major Davenport and Thos. Ray are
here today to rejoice with their demo-
aratlc friends over the great victory
cchieved yesterday.
The democratic boys are hustlers when
they get stirred up. There are several Of
them in Great Falls fully entitled to med
ais for good work done yesterday.
Geyer and Lord at the Park theatre are
the talk of the town. This company was
never so brilliant or so successful. The
boys say they never had such fun.
City Marshal Lester took up horse
Yesterday that was running at large in
the city. He had long rope on with a
picket pin at the end. The horse is
branded bar-14 on left thigh and ID on
left shoulder. The owner can secure the
animal by paying the expenses of his
keeping, etc.
Mrs. May Belle tombstone, the Anacon-
da correspondent and society editress of
the Butte Miner, who visited Great Falls
with the Press Association last year, ar
rived in Benton Sunday evening and will
remain several days visiting her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Searles. Mrs.
tombstone was accompanied by Miss
Katie Canovan, one of Anaconda's most
popular young ladies, who will also re-
main for some time as the guest of Mr..
and Mrs. Searles.
Judge Larkin was asked today for the
general news at Kibbey. He said: "We
had the heaviest snow storm of the sea-
son on the seventh and eighth Of this
month; the snow on the divide on the
Barker trail fell to depth of four feet;
it showed and blowed steadily for forty
hours. The result is good crops and
plenty of bunch grass; the grain crop in
and around Kibbey never looked as well
ut this season of the year. From present
indications the ranchers will have full
granaries this fall. Nothing new to re-
port in mining circles; no new strikes
The boys had to quit prospecting on &C
count of the late storm. Look out for
some new strikes in quartz in the near
future in Cascade cOuntV."

Pugilistic Senators.

The slugging mania seems TO have
seized most of the fashionable young
men at the capital, and almost all of
the Senators clerks, and several of the
clerks to House committees, have box
ing gloves of various weights stored
away in their room. The craze for
fighting began to grow after the re-
ported fight between the son of a
Southern Senator and Senate em-
ployee, about eighteen months ago.
A fresh impetus was given to the gem
eral desire to ''be clever with the
hands" by the publication in the local
newspapers some time ago of fight
between two other employees in the
Senate. A Southern Senator, who has
as his private secretary an athletic son,
was very much chagrined and heated
the other day upon finding in his COM
mittee-room desk IA pair of live-ounce
gloves, which were so well worn that
they indicated long and hard service.
1t is stated by one of the young men
who indulge in pugilistic exercise, that
several Senatora themselves have put
the gloves on and stood up before their
clerks behind locked committee doors,
and fought like good fellows. The
Southern men care more for this kind
of amusement than those from the
East, but it is said that two or three of
the Northwestern statesmen are not
scared when they see Il pair of light
weight gloves thrown ut them and
they are challenged To defend them
selves against an assault by theirclerks.
If this thing keeps on growing for
another six months in the same ratio
that it has taken pace during the last
six months, about half of the men in
Congress will be amateur pugiHsts.-

Popular Favor Changes.

During the last decade new stones
have come into favor, some neglected
ones have rc9ained their popularity,
and still others, such as amethysts and
cameoS, have been thrown out entire
ly. The latter. no matter how finely
cut, would not find purchasers now at
one-Iiflh of their former value; about
ten years ago they were eagerly sought
after at from four to twenty times their
present prices. Rubies were considered
high ten wears ago and further rise
was not looked for, but to-day they
are still higher. 9 5-16 carat stone
having been quoted at $33, 200. There
is no demand at present for topaz, yet
a syndicate of French capitalists has
been organized to control the topaz
mines of Spain in the expectation that
after twenty years of disfavor this gem
will again be popular. Coral has felt
the change of fashion. for during the
last three years the imports have been
less than 81 200 per annum, and in the
last ten years in all $33 1856, whereas in
the ten years preceding $288, ,577 worth
were imported. The popularity of
amber, on the other hand, is increas-
ing. The imports of amber beads for
the ten years 1868 to 1878 amounted to
less than $4,000, whereas during the
last ten years $35. 1857 worth have been
introduced. Amber amounting to only
$4,000 was imported from 1868 to 1873
but over $3.50. 900 worth from 1873 to
1885,
Ten years ago few of our jewellers
carried more than the following stones
in stock: Diamond. ruby, sapphire,
garnet and occasionally Il topaz or
aquamarine. The gem and mineral
ogical collections contained large
series of bea utiful stones, hard and of
beautiful color. but known here as
"fancy stones" and by the French as
pierreS de flntdSie. Since then con-
siderable interest has centered in these
fancy stones, and any leading jeweler
is not only expected to be familiar with
but TO keep almost all of them in stock.
This change may be partly refer red to
the fact that since the Centennial ex-
hibition art matters have received
more attention among us than before.

He Owned the Boy.

"a boy is strange machine, isn't
hep" queried the colonel. us he looked
out of the Office window.
al don't see anything so very strange
about that particular boy" replied
one of the lOungers as he sauntered up
and saw n boy of 10 on the opposite
side of the street.
"BuI he's got Jug persisted the
colonel.
.Well, what of itP Can't boy car
ry a jug?"
But he is swinging it around his
headr'
LET him swing. You never saw a
boy who wouldn't"
"rll bet he breaks it before he gets
to the cornerH exclaimed the colonel.
"Nonsense"
"Bet YOU $20n
"Doner'
Half dozen rushed up to watch
further proceedings. The boy con-
tinued to swing the jug, apparently
bent upon performing some particular
feat, and just before he reached the
corner his hand slipped and the jug
was dashed to pieces.
"Iknew it! l knew it," chuckled the
colonel as he danced around.
"Drat him - here's your money!
growled the other.
An hour later, after spending tho in
terval in solemn thought, the loser in
quired:
Colonel, did you think you had a
sure thing on meP"
Certainly. l bought that jug for
the boy, and gave him 80 cents to carry
out the programme.-NeIO York Snil.

A Yaqui Legend.

In reference to the mysterious cause
of the sudden depopulation of the Gila
and Salt river valleys in the prehistoric
period, when fertile farms occupied
the places now regarded as sterile
deserts an old Yaqui Indian of this
place, known by the sobriquet of
''Juan," tells substantially the follow
ing legend as having been handed
down through many generations in his
tribe:
Four or five hundred years ago the
Gila valley was psopled with u very
bad people, who built log houses and
titled the ground and used the waters
of the rivers in canals to irrigate their
crops with. They were selfish peo-
pie, and refused to permit the Papa
gos, Yaqliis, and other tribes to the
south To dwell among them or to use
the water and feed the animals in their
fields. They were people of small
size, with red skin like the other In
dians, but. they did not know how 10
fight battles, and lived peaceably be-
cause they were too numerous for other
tribes to attack.
But one time long drought came
on, and far to the south the fields were
dried up and the water was all eX-
hausted. For three or four years did
the Yaquis and other tribes suffer dire
privatiOns from the drought, and their
horses were dN ing for want of water
aud feed, and none could be had ex-
cepling along tl,c Gila and the Salt
rivers. The various tribes held n big
consultation and decided to extermin-
ate the bad people of these valleys and
take possession of their green fields.
So they marched nOrthward for many
days, and when they reached the valley
where Florence now stands they began
a war of determination, and killed all
the bad people excepting the very
small children, whom they reared as
their own. They passed down the
valley, dealing out death to all they
met, until they had left none to oppose
their occupation of the rich lands and
fertile fields.
Then followed luxurious scene oi
plenty and peace, until finally the
canals began to fall into decay and
ruin and no one knew how to repair
them. Gradually the waters of the
river returned to their old channel and
the lands became dry and barren, and
finally the several tribes returned tC
their former homes to the southwark
when the drought had disappeared.
The old Indian, says the Arizona
Enterprise, always tells the tale in the
same simple, straightforward manner,
and claims that it has been handed
down among the members of his STRIDE
for many long generations. 1t is Ger.
lainly too ingenious for this unimagin.
ative mind 10 have conceived unaided
by tradition, and the story is not an
improbable one and may easily account
for the mysterious disappearance OF
the people who dwelt in great num-
bers in this valley at the time of which
history has no record.

Ill Luck I'm the OPAL.

Bookmaker James F. Cleary of this
city bought a scarfpin a year ago last
month. 1t has a handsome opal in
the centre, and this is surrounded by
brilliants of the first water. A Sun
correspondent learned that Mr.. Cleary
was willing to sell the jewel at a liberal
discount. Meeting Mr.. CIcary to-day
the writer said: 81 hear you want to
sell that pin?"
81 have been strongly tempted to
do so a dozen times" Mr.. Cleary re-
piled. Now, l am not superstitious,
but many acquaintances have told ME
that / would surely have bad luck as
long as kept it, and thus far there
has been more truth than poetry in
their utterances. For the first time
since have been in the business l had
nv ill-luck began soon after l bought
the pin. NV book has been heavy
loser, and other ventures in which 1
was interested resulted unproiitably.
Still, I don't attach the blame for this
state of facts to this pin. But Pll tell
you story about another opal and
diamond pin.
when Kilrain and Mitchell were
Il uullo IL Will
Mitchell. He noticed the pin and said
to me: Il had pin much like that
one, and had bad luck all the time
kept it.
Il remarked that my luck had not
been good since | had bought this one.
"'Get rid of it, said Mitchell. Il
gave f2S for one in London, and from
the day bought it until l sold it
had nothing but bad luck. Everything
/ touched went wrong. l was at New
market and couldn't pick the winner
at all, and in moment of desperation
l sold the pin to a bookmaker named
White, one of the heaviest operators
on the English turf, for f1O. played
the races with that money, and when l
left the track l was over ESQ ahead.
But Whites book lost heavily. and for
long time he had a run of bad luck,
while tickle fortune was more consid-
crate in her treatment of me. White
finally sold the pin to q third party,
and the bad luck that had attended
White and myself visited the new pur-
chaser, and continued until he sold il
to fourth man, but L do not know
how he made out after becoming the
owner
Mr.. Cleary continues to wear the
pin. and probably when the boys who
play the horses in his book read this
story they will hope that he will no
part with it.-NeU York San.

The "Sentence System"

Charles Dickens, while visiting the
Massachusetts scbool-ship, was called
upon for speech" He responded
by saying, Boys, do all the good you
can, and make no fuss about it."
Dickens,a as his novels attest, believed
in the beneficial effect of pithy say
ing and striking proverb = pointed
words which would fasten themselves
in the memory. The conductors of
the Netherlands Mettray," one of the
model reform schools ut Holland, use
this sentence system" as a means of
moral education. They hang on the
wall such sentences as these:
.sHe who seeks himself will not find
God;" "a poor man he who has moth
ing but money!" He is fool who
lives poor to die rich;" Labor has a
golden bottom;" Care for the mo-
ments. and these will care for the
years
Sometimes boy is made to learn a
sentence by heart. One boy was
overheard using foul speech to COM
rade. He was ordered to read to the
boys every morning for eight days
this sentence. ut is better to be dumb
than to use the tongue for filthy talk. "
1t made him clean in speech.
