THREE GOOD STORIES.

Not long ago, at meeting of a lit
erary club in this city, a doctor OF
divinity read very interesting essay
upon wit and humor, and illustrated
one of the points he made by the fol-
lowing anecdote:
On a warm summer day distin-
guished lawyer was arguing knotty
case in court. A brother lawyer in
the course of the argument felt the
need of refreshment and went to
restaurant near the court house, but
somewhat above it on the street. As
he was taking an ice cream lady
came in whom he took to be the wife
Of the lawyer who was making the ar
gument. But it happened that she
was the widow of the brother of the
orator, who had recently died. Being
we'll acquainted with both wife and
widow, but laboring under mistake
as to identity, he made the queer
blunder of saying to her, "Madam,
don't you wish your husband could
have some of this ice with us, instead
of broiling as he is down there?'
In the discussion that followed the
reading of the paper, many other good
stories were told. Here is one of
them:
A Harvard professors study win
dow overlooks the lawn of a neighbor,
upon which is tethered fine Jersey
cow He Gays that he was looking out
of the window one summer evening,
when his gentlemanly neighbor came
out to milk. As he sat upon the milk
stool and bent over the task, the moth
erly COW deliberately turned her head
and began to lick the back of his coat.
He jumped to his feet, overturning
the pail of milk, and grasping the
stool belabored the bewildered beast.
ii HE professor suggests, when he tells
the story, that the poor man could not
stand the implication.-Portldnd Me-

LOOKING TOWARDS MONTANA.


A P~ennsyivanian Speaks About the Bunch
Grass State.
A correspondent of the Carbondale
Qa) Courier has this to say of Montana.
"A man who wants to start in business
can find no better place to invest his
money than in this state, go to any town
where he may. As to the cities and
towns of Montana, any person gong into
them would see, ut once, their two main
points, business and progress; probably
the leading cities of the state are Butte
City and Helena. Butte, the largest city,
is also the busiest, and with the excep-
ton of New York and Chicago, may be
counted with the busiest of the union.
Next to Butte comes Helena, the cap
ital, which is the prettiest city in the
state; then comes Virginia City, with its
mines; Deer Lodge, with its schools and
colleges; Missoula, with its dairying and
stockraising; Anaconda, with Its smelters,
the largest IN the world; Miles City, with
its forts and arsenls; Great Falls, with its
immense water power-the largest in
America, its rich agricultural and miner
al region surrounding; in fact there Is
not d place in the state where there vs.
not some enterprising business going on.
In conclusion l will say, it wahld fill a
volume to describe this great and glor-
ious state, which was put there for all, SO
go and see it for yourself.'

"The way in which men learn trades

who has made q study of the subject,
sis at variance with the way they used
to learn. In the old times when Il man

it piece at u time. And by and by he
could make whatever he was working
upon entire. / know d man who works
in n watch factory. He has been there
eleven years, and all he knows is how
to make u balance wheel. Aside from
that he kaows no more about the mech
anism of n watch than q man who never

"Another man l know works in n wag-
on factory. He works on hubs, Moth
ing else. Another man works on spolsos,
another on the tongue, and so on, but
not one of them knows how to put up a

Mining stocks, interests in mining
claims, prospects, assays, showings-the
number of times these terms are heard
on the street every day show that many
people are interested in the bright pros
poets at Barker and Neihart.
W.. L. Riley and W. I. Phillips of Bark
,er are spending a few days in town. AT
the TRIBUNE office they exhibited some
samples of the tin ore and mica which
they lately discovered. The tin is very
much like samples from the Black Hills.
The mica is perfectly transparent, seems
to be without o flaw and works perfectly,
splitting until the layers are not thicker
than tissue paper. The boys feel conf
dent that they have a big thing and it
now looks that way.

He tells the story of some young miners

of a practical knowledge of mining. The

Settlers Flee for Safety.

CAssELroN, N. D., Nov. 17.-Governor
Miller is here and is keeping the wires
hot between here and Bismarck. He is
receiving dispatches from the capital aud
Bismarck which are somewhat alarming.
The people Of Mandan call for arms and
ammunition and claim that an attack by
the Indians may be looked for at any
moment. Rowing bands of armed and
painted warriors are roaming the prairie
and settlers are leaving their farms and
ranches; women and children are leaving
Mandah for this side Of the river. 1t Is
very likely that the state militia will be
called out. The governor leaves on the
early morning tram for Bismarck. There
is much excitement and alarm all slong
the line of the Northern Pacific.

Insurance company and the Mutual Fire
association, organized five years ago, were
placed by their officers in the hands of
J. A. Smith, as receiver, appointed by the
court this morning. j. L. Barber is
president of the former and George B.
Shaw of the latter association. Most of
the officers are lumbermen. j. A. Smith
is secretary of both. Both companies
business was confined mainly to Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Illinois. The affairs
of both are in good shape and all the
creditors are safe. The combined assets
are said to be about $4,000 and largely
exceed the liabilities. The suspension of
business is occasioned by the failure Of
eight other mutual companies in various
parts of the country during the past six
months, which has caused a withdrawal
of insurance.

About midnight Sunday word was re-
ceived that a house in Highland Park adj
ditlon, south of town, was burning. Chief
Ringwald quickly got together eight or
ten Of the boys and soon arrived on the
scene with the hook and ladder truck.
The wind VIII high and the fire so well
under way that it was impossible to ex'
tlnguish it. The efforts of the firemen
were turned toward saving the adjoining
buildings, in which they were successful.
No one was living in. the house and 1T is
supposed that it was the work of incen-
diaries, who thought to steal a team OF
horses while the house was burning. The
stable was also burned, but the team was
afterward found hitched to n wagon near.
The owner of the horses lived near and
was awakened by the roar of the flames,
when he ran ont to save his team, but
found 1t was gone and the stable burn
ing. No clue has yet been heard of the
criminal. The house was a neat cottage
containing six. rooms and worth about
$780,; the barn was one and half stories
and worth 1916. Both are II total loss to
the owner. Mr.. II. Fl. Horton.

MANDAN, N. d., Nov, T.--No citizens
were ever more in earnest than those at
the public meeting tonight, called by the
mayor. All day the entire community
has been terrorized. Settlers from every
direction have come in reporting insults
they have received from predatory bands
of Indians who are armed to the teeth
and who make circles around their heads,
indicating that some scalping is to be
done. Little consolation is to be had
from the citizens of Mandan. They are
unarmed and practically helpless against
an attack Of any force of Indians equip
ped as they are with the most improved
weapons. At the meeting tonight a COM
mittee was appointed to EMPLOY men to
ride down to Cannon Ball river to pro-
cure information and give warning of
danger. Gov. Miller wires tina. arms aud
ammunition will be shipped from Bis
marck on the first train.
