MR.. RICHARDS AGAIN.

This newspaper has never even 30
much as limited that the Butte Inter
Mountain has a rod in pickle for Lieu

printed one line that warrants any in
ference of the sort. Certain Butte re-
publicans were intensely aroused
against Mr.. Richards and they made
their wrathful comments heard every

had been held. They enjoyed the great
American privilege of talking them
selves tired.
We cannot see what possible right
the Inter Mountain would have, as a
republican gan. to visit any wrath OH
Mr.. Richards, and the STANDARD has
never limited any such purpose on its

be "a candidate for senator. 1t was his
right to stay i'm the field as long as he
wanted to-and the event proves that
he wanted to stay in n good while.

AN INTELLIGENT DOG.


A Newfoundland whose SaGaeiey Seemed
lnexhauselblo In lts Resources.
A good dog story is always appre-
ciated, because canine sagacity seems
inexhaustible in its resources. A
Glasgow gentleman owned an inte3li-
gent Newfoundland dog, which accom-
panied his master wherever he went,
and was his inscparable companion In
his visits and to church. One evening
the gentleman went to visit neighbor.
The dog attended him. It WAS quite
late when the gentleman started for
home. and. to his surprise, the dog could
not be found.
After the family had retired, there was
great noise in the kitchen. It was
supposed that burglars were robbing
the house. Soon there was crash and
. smash like the breaking of 4 win
dow, and then all was still. The morn
ing revealed the mystery. The dog had
fallen asleep under the table. He had
realized that his master had gone home,
and the noise heard was the attempt OF
the dog to make his escape. As there
was no other way to get out the saga
cious animal went through tho window,
taking glass and frame with him.
1t was . long time before his
master visited that house again. When
he did his dog accompanied him, and
the ANNA found his way through the
open door OF the kitchen to his old
hiding place under the table. When
the master was about to start for homo
neither his hat nor cane could be found.
After along search the dog was discov-
cred fast asleep under the table; one
paw was on his masters hat the other
resting on his stick. How the dog OBJ
tanned possession Of these articles no
one could tell. He remembered his last
visit to the place and how scurvily he
had been treated. The sagzcious Great
ure resolved not to be left behind next
time. He knew that his master could
not go home without his hat and stick,
and that he would b awakened when
his owner got ready to start His plans
were acutely laid, and, il he had been
human, he ould not have done better.

prepared to leave.

come from the hall door. There was .
sound of breaking glass and Of the

body rushed out Of the hall and grabbed
