IF person mounts a high-spirited
horse it is important that he should be
able to control him, otherwise he may be
dashed to pieces. If an engineer under
takes to conduct a locomotive, it is ne
cessary that he should be able to guide
or check the painting engine at his
pleasure, else his own life and the lives
of others may be sacrificed. But it is
still more indispensable that, an indi-
vidual, who is intrusted with the care
of himself, 1hould be able to govern
himself.

Democratic Senators Take the Oath and
Their Seats.
HELENA, Mont, Dec. 17-All the Demo-
cratic senators were present when the senate
met yesterday morning They took the oath,
signed the roll, and Immediately the senate
adjourned till 10 this morning. While this
scene was being enacted the Democratic
house passed resolution in which, after
warning all the absent Republican members,
the sergeant-at-arms was commanded to ar
rest the absentees and bring them before the
bar of the house. After the passage of this
resolution the house adjourned. The sergeant
alarms delivered the notice to each of the
men wanted and in no case was any reply
made
Republicans Caucus.
The Republican house met at o'clock last
night, but was in session only few minutes
when an adjournment was taken, which was
followed Immediately by a caucus of both
representatives and senator's This contin-
ued until nearly midnight, but what action
was had is not known. There has been some
sort of agreement made between the warning
factions, but what it is no one knows outside
of the members.
HELENA, Mont, Dec. 1S.-Up to now no
attention has been paid to the warrants sent
by the Democratic house to the Republican
members of the lower house, who have de-
cided to ignore it in toto. Just how the mat
ter will be settled is still a question. The
governor without notice yesterday morning
sent his message to the senate and Demo
cratic house. In the former it was read,
but when its nature was discovered was laid
upon the table, as the senate has not perma-
nently organized. The Democratic house re-
ferred it to select committee. The message,
after treating the subject of needed legisla-
ton, is half apologetic and half defiant
epistle on the present muddle, but presents
no new feature or advice for q solution.

he had reasons for his belief, and that they
were good There was no case, he said, made
out against any of the prisoners, but the ver-
dict in Kunze's case was particularly out
rageous. He was then asked:
Snow that you are all right, Mr. Beggs, tell
us honestly whether you ever heard of an inner
circle in camp 20 or any other amp"
~ did mott That all originated with the
newspapers. / will tell you honestly that II
the prosecution had left camp 20 alone, and

This remark occasioned some surprise among
the dozen or so reporters who were standing
around, and with one voice they asked: "What
do you mean by that?"
II mean just what / said, that they should
have looked somewhere else for the head of
that conspiracy IL was not in camp ~, and
think il would have been just as say, that
a better case could have been made out"
''Where should they have looked for the head
of the plot?"
"How do I know? 1t was as much as
wanted to take care of myself. Public opinion
is a horrible thing. II would have hanged me,

One Days Adventure

AS l was going down Washington street,
My old friend CHANGED to meet;
Close by his side trudged BERTHE, his boy,
1t was plain to see he was his fathers joy.
We were just speaking of johnson, the
baker,
Being such a successful candy maker;
When we came in front of his pleasant store,
BERTHE wouldn't move single peg more.
We found ourselves in quite plight,
For he howled like Zulu with all his
might
For some of those beautiful candies and toys,
Which delight the hearts of the girls and
boys.
No other way but for us to go in.
To stop his making such horrid din;
There were plenty of pies and beautiful
cake,
longed to sample for my stomach's sake.
Oranges, Lemons and candy, only 10 cts. a
pound,
Bananas, figs, and lots else we found;
There was Santa Claus with plenty of dates,
OCocoanuts, fresh home made creams and
grapes.
All kinds of things to trim Christmas tree,
Glass ornament and wax candles we see;
We bought him some candy and birds on
wings,
Deciding to come back for our Christmas
things.
