HELENA A THEM.

Helena has had it-not the grippe.
but h "smOoth-tongued agent Of a
Minnesota building and loan associa-
tion." The Helena Journal says that
a number of Helenites were induced
to invest and it adds that the investors
were "not long in regretting the step
taken, as the association BEGAN en-
veloped in a series of complications not
At all complimentary to its manage
ment."
This is the old story. The Oncern
to which the Journal refers is said to
travel under the name of h American
Building and Loan association. That
il not the name of the pretentious fake
affair that camped in this city several
weeks ago-we forget just what the
title of h outfit is that started in to
work Anaconda. 1t is not worth while
90 look it up. we simply know that the
STANDARD fastened to warn its towns
men against the strangers. They man.
aged to pick up about six hundred dol
lars in this city before the warning note
was sounded, n hat amount is gone
undoubtedly where it will do the
most good to the agents and h least
good to those who foolishly put it up.
However, the STANDARD warned it's
Anaconda readers as soon as IL was
fairly on the trail of the Minneapolis
crowd, and it has the satisfaction of
knowing that it prevented the throwing
away of many more hundreds of dollars
of hard-earned money.
We have never recited to our readers
h conversation that took place, days
ago. between IN accredited representa-
tive of h STANDARD and the general
agent of the company that tried to
traffic with this city. The conversation
eed not be detailed, but il ended with
positive assurance on the part of the
Minneapolis c that it's agents
were again in this city. that all prom
ises would he made good and that the
town would he worked" the STAN
DARD to the contrary Notwithstanding.
After diiigent inquiry. we have not
been able to these agents; We
do not believe they are here.
The wonder is that men in this city
who get their little savings by hard
knocks are SO easily tempted to put up
their money to back any Of these
scalpers. Leave them alone. They
come here to plumber you. They I'M
Told h intricate details of q plausible
scheme and make you imagine you un-
derstand it, when you don't. If you
have money to squander, blow il in
some prospect hole. II you lose il, you
can at least ave the satisfaction OF
standing by the open grave of your
savings and exclaim: Here lies all
that is mortal of my hard-earned two
hundred dollars" But if you spend
your surplus to pay the champagne
bills of some straggler from Ainneapo-
lis, you'll never have the comfort OF
sticking up even 40 much as a tomb
stone v the grave of your own
emaciated pocket book.

The senatorial committee that has
Senator HiscOck for chairman will hear
with patience all that Chicago, st.
Louis, Washington and other cities
may urge, as claimants for the worlds
fair, but New York city will take the
prize, of course. Taking all considera-
tons into account, New York ought to
have it, although the fact that n New
Yorker il chairman of the senatorial
committee ought not, perhaps, to pass
as conclusive. SO far a Montana il
concerned, the visitor to the coming
fair would quite AZ willingly go through
to New York city as to go ashore on
Lake Michigan.

proclamations have been issued i'm the
state of Maine, but it says that ''their eff

An Ingenious Waiter.

From the New York sun.
The New York waiter IL brimful of ex-
p~edients, and in some of his ingenuity is
unlike any creature on earth. This oc-
CURED i'm one of the table d'hotee establish
ments. 1t was late and the dinner hour
almost over. The soup was just warm and
and the fish cold. Something i'm the
patrons manner must have told the eirer-
vescent waiter that things were not right,
for when he danced up to the table hear
ing the eutree he handled il very gingerly.
A thick napkin separated the plate from
his expansive palm, and when about to
put IL on the table he grabbed up another
napkin. and with this in his left hand and
the other i'm his right he succeeded in de-
posting the plate gently on the table, and
diner naturally thought that at last he
was tn have something hot, and inwarslly
rejoiced. The entree was as cold as an
oyster shell and So was Inc plate.
