wAYSIDE FLOWERS.

How varied are your charms,
Sweet wayside flowers that round our path
way grow,
Rare gifts to US from Natures laden arms.
How lovely is your glow.
We love in sunny hours
To ramble DER the hillside and the dell,
And learn from happy springtimes bright wild
flowers
The power of Natures spell.
Here in the woodlands shade
Are lovely odors dying on the air;
But ere the gems of sylvan beauty fade,
They yield us treasures rare.
Touched by the SUMS rich beam,
In all the flush of lovellness they teach,
To music of the brooklets silver stream,
A lesson unto each.
The snowy Lily Bell,
The brilliant tufts of painted cups we see:
While near the shadows of the streamlet dwell
The pretty fern fronds we
Delight to blend with flowers,
The choicest of the hillsides far away;
MementoS of the pleasure-haunted hours
We passed in woodlands gay.
The orthcarpus quaint
Fair innocence, bright Dodocatheon's hue
OF purple mingled with the odor faint
OF grasses kissed with dew.
These are the fairy CLEANS
OF wayside beauty, jewels of the air,
Chords of the harp Of Natures sweetest
dreams,
Bearing away all care.
Then in the verna hours
Wen wander DER the hillside and the dell,
And gather with the pretty wayside flowers
The golden truths they tell.

ABOUT SILK HATS.

Is 1t Unbecoming to the Average Man. rs
Well as Ugly Itself?
MSEAOT long ago we bought silk hat OF
TSAa S the latest style, says the Sartorial Art
ESE9 Journal. Shortly afterward cele-
brated artist of our acquaintance, meeting us
while it circled our Uranium. declared it ill.,
artistic and unbecoming. In disgust wa
laid it aside, and for several weeks wore a
soft hat. We were then assured by quite
number of gentlemen who have the repnta-
ton of being men of sound judgment and
excellent taste that we looked like a guy,
and hoodlums remarked as we strided in a
dignifed manner on our fashionable
streets, "Shoot the hatP' Then we re-
sumed the silk hat, and all our friends
stared at us wOnderingly, while those who
are specially interested in us privately and
confidentially suggested that it was very
bad taste on our part to report fashions
and wear style Of hat that was decidedly
passe.
The fact is that the silk hats. iguratiyely
speaking, knocked about by fashion like q
football. To-day it may be decidedly swell
and next week an old-timer. Artists, as a
rule, pronounce it ugly, but they wear it
with great deal of satisfaction. Many
professional critics of dress say it is unbe-
coming to all men and always uncomiorta-
BILE and inconvenient, but they also wear 1t,
and, as a rule, look better when doing so
than when wearing any other style of hat.
But, after all, is the silk hat unbecoming
to the average man, as well as ugly in
itself? Let us consider few Of the argt-
ments that are advanced by men who ara
supposed to have good taste, on each side
of the question.

DREAMS.

AS her fingers over the white keys glide
j sit and dream by Edith's side,
While subtle fragrance fills the room
OF eslantne and locust bloom,
And the aged woman sitting there
With the wrinkled brow and faded hair
Is as young and sweet as when with pride
1 claimed her for my blushing bride,
And LIES dull cares have left no trace
On her gentle brow or pensive face.
Oh. daughter Edith you charm away
The weary years by your melody.
And life seems young and death as far
As yonder glimmering perfect star;
And yet know the day is near
When the summons II come to us, my dear.
God grant that may not go alone
When the spirit beckons me to come.
But, hand in hand, we may tread'the way
My wife and Ito the perfect day.

glanced at Knots additional handiwOrk,

they were both on the way to the restau-
rant, while the page was retailing the incl

Senator Vest of Missouri is having much
trouble nowadays. Covies of Comeback
ers appear in the halls of the Capitol
evey day looking for Asher G. Caruth of
Louisville. Nearly every cOvey runs against
Vest. who looks like Caruth's twin brother.
They annoy the life out of the Senator by
asking him to drink and telling him stories
of the tornado at Louisville. One of these
covies struck Vest the other morning when
he was not in the best of humOr. The
Senator refused to listen to the Corn

me. don't know you. You don't know
me. Pm not Mr.. Caruth of Louisville"

in the eye, and said:

Since then Vest has been threatening to
introduce joint resolution into the Senate

to escape further annoyance. Caruth in

SURFACE-FoUND COLLECTIONS.

Professor Putnam's Ideas About the
american Indians.
ETaAF ROFESSOR f.. w. PUTNAM re-
Ra@A Gently read paper before the
~ Archaeological Association of the
University of Pennsylvania. After con-
graduating The Archaeological Association
upon having secured the services of such
competent archaologst as DR.. Abbott. once
his assistant at Cambridge, he said: "Sur-
face found collections are of interest, but
they do not give the history of people as
does the excavation of a burial place or q
village site, and it is to be hoped that the
new museum will devote itself TO such eX-
plorati0ns. Collections have already been
made that show as much as can ever be
hoped for from mere collecting. We should
not only try to bring specimens together,
but endeavor to find out who the people
were, the direction of their migrations, and
were the same" Professor Putnam then
declared his belief that the American Indian
was the resultant Of a mixture Of races.
Two wel-detined groups of races are
found in America. They have entirely
different shaped skulls. One group starts
are short-headed people. They ex-
tended across from Mexico along the
Gulf coast, up the Mississippi Valley
and along the southern portion of the At
ianlIc OodSt, not crossing the AIlegnanleS
or found north of tine Great Lakes.
They were the people that built the mounds
and founded the civilizations of Mexico and
Peru. The objects exhibited this evening
from Wisconsin were made by another
stock, long-headed people who inhabited
the northern part of the country. These
two races have met and intermingled. and
the result is the American Indan." Pro-
lessor Putnam exhibited a series Of photo
graphs Of copper ornaments found in
mound in Ohio. These objec is, which num-
Der many thousands (there were from 10000
to 5000 copper beads), were all thrown in
fireplace about four feet square. Notable
among the ornaments were square plates of
hammered copper, perforated with holes,
and large number Of earrings, many OF
which were covered with thin sheets of sill
yer and some with gold. A single ak was
the only implement found, The existence
of ornaments and the absence of implements
Is important in associating the old race Of
Ohio with The people OF Mexico and Peru
very lew ornaments are discovered among
the copper objects made by the northern
stock. Not the slightest trace of smelling,
however, Is to be found, the metal objects
found in the mounds, even galena, being
cut In ornaments and not smelted.

BozENAS, Mont, Nov. IA meeting
Of the citizens % this county was called
to-day by ). ). Wilson, president OF the
board Of trade, and Mayor Pease, for the
purpose Of discussing the proposal to
build a wagon road from Bozeman up the
West Gallatin river 10 the National park.
The county commissioners have been al
ready asked 10 appropriate funds for this
purpose, but they object on the ground OF
the heavy expense. q. +. Chisholm, in
stating the objects OF the meeting. said
that from careful estimates and re-
ports il had been determined that the
road could be built for $500; that be
believed in public improvements gener-
ally, and he thought a road up the Gala
tin would be u direct benefit TO the entire
county, besides opening the Gallat'n
basin, which Is rich in minerals aud other
resources. bui that the paramount adyan-
tage would be in opening a new avenue
To the National park.
Mayor Pease said the road would open
up vast country that could not be gotten
at in any other way, and tnat it would
tend 10 the development Of the eounty's
coal lands, besides opening a splendid
grazing range aud that il would open
market for the produce and merchandise
Of this county besides causing Bozeman
to become an important outtitting point

| Z. NJ. Gardiner said he believed the
basin promised 10 he an important mining
camp, and he believed IL would become %
this county what Castle was To Meagher
county. He called attention to the excel
lent road that county had built, even be-
fore Castle promised to be a great camp.
| A resolution then passed asking our
county commissioners To appropriate the
necessary funds to build the road.
At the board Of trade meeting
to-day petition was signed, calling
upon the Northern Pacific railroad 10
erect a new depot at this place, stating
that the present building was entirely in
adequate for the accommodation Of the
passengers and patrons. The present
building was erected when the road was
first built and now il was not equal TO, q
third class building put up by the com
pany, although boLeman was one Of the
most important stations on the road.
Bozeman citizens have for some time
been endeavoring TO get recognition from
the Northern Pacific railway and il is To
be hoped that their request will be
granted.
