HE WON THE BET.
How Count Itchy Outwitted the Customs
Officer.

The famous Hungarian, Count Zichy.
who lived on princely income in Vienna
was in his younger days well known ali
over Europe on account of the bets he
made and generally won. Once, when
there was a heavy duty imposed on every
head of cattle entering the Austrian cap
ital, he made bet that he would carry a
lamb duty free through the gate of Vienna,
and that the gate-keeper, who acts as i'm
perial officer, adjusting and receiving the
duty, would be glad to let him pass.
Next morning the Count, disguised In
the clothes of butcher, his butcher-knife
in his hand, his shirt-sleeves rolled up.
and carrying a heavy sack on his shoulder,
made his way to one of the fashionable
gates of Vienna, but the watchful officer
soon espied him.
what have you in that sack, fellow ?''
"a dog, sir"
"a dog? Dog YOURSELF Down with
that sack! know fellows like you some
times carry dogs in sacks through the
gates and sell them for mutton in town,
Down with your sack |"
"But it's nothing but dog, and bad
dog, too. will"
"Never mind what you will. Down with
your sack p
The officer pulled the sack from the
supposed butchers shoulder, cut the string,
and, sure enough. out jumped one of the
biggest dogs in Vienna The dog rushed
against the faithful Government servant,
landed him several steps away in the gut.
ter, and then left for parts unknown. After
him went the young butcher, shaking his
big knife before the eyes of the frightened
officer, and exclaiming:
"I'll settle you after catch that dog"
About two hours afterward the face Of
the butcher appeared before the raised
window Of the gate window.
IL have just caught that dog again.
Would you like to look at him ?"
"Get awayl Get out, you and your in

In the indeseribably poor and filthy
market-plaza the smallest of sales are con-
! Quoted by Indian women, each dressed
only in short, scant and very dirty calico

Is seldom done for purpose of cleanliness,

There is another article of Ecuador's
commerce which, though not reckoned in
any market reports is worthy of especial
notice, viz;
HUMAN HEADS,
Dried and pressed to about the size of
your fist, each wearing the most life.like
expression upon the perfectly preserved
features. Most of the faces are elaboratelv
tattooed and all have long, black hair; the
lips sewn together with fiores twisted into
coarse Irvine, hanging down over the chin
in heavy fringe like that in macrame
lambrequin. Centuries ago a tribe OF In
dians living near the northern border of
Ecuador used to preserve the craniums of
their dead in this manner. Nobody now
living knows how it was done, but it is
supposed that the bones were all drawn
out, bit by bit, through the neck aud then
the head was buried in the hot, dry sand
until it shrank away to one-fourth its
former size and became perfectly pre-
served As household adornments these
gruesome Tecuordos of
DEAD FOLK
Are certainly not handsome, but they are
very curious, especially since the art of
preparing them has long been lost and the
sewed-up lips tell 10 secrets. They used
to bring about SO piece, but now COM
mand all the way from 500 to $500 and
are very scarce at that. Years ago the
Eucadorian Government put stop to this
sale, as it was learned that some modern
Indians, instead of dealing exclusively in
the brain-pans of their defnnct ancestors,
actually made business of preparing fresh
ones for the market Since long haired
ones sold for the highest price, they took
especial care of the capillary adornments
of their wives and daughters with a view
to cutting their heads off one by one
There is no doubt that this traffic in dried
heads cost many lives for the price paid
by museums and curio-hunters was enough
to set an Ecuador Indian up in atfiuence
for all the rest of his days, could he man
age to iudiciously market his superfuous
children and relatives

The Board of Directors Ready to Receive
Proposals for q Site.
The board of directors of the Helena
Athletic association met yesterday at the
Hotel Helena to discuss plans for immedi-
ately getting the association in working
shape.
On motion of Finley McRae, seconded by
George Hill, it was agreed that the associa-
ton should secure not less than five acres
of ground.
On motion of John Wilson, seconded by
Mr.. Meyendorff, it was voted that sealed
bids for suitable grounds be received up to
4 p. m. on Wednesday, the bids to be opened
at p. m. on that day in the presence of the
board. The bids are then to be referred to
subcommittee, who will inspect the vari-
Gus sites.
The question as to the extent to which
the association should lend its aid to the
organization of a base ball team in Helena
was also discussed, and it was decided tC
recommend that the association give $500
to assist any club that should be formed tc
join the North Pacific league, provided the
games shall be played on the association
grounds, and that the grounds be let fol
such purpose for a nominal sum.

garding the prospects for club here and

Mr.. PHELAN, of Memphis, representa-
tive in congress, journalist and historian,
has done neither himself nor tho south
credit in his attempt to revive the GUS
tom of settling disputes between gen.
tlemen by a resort to deadly weapons
under certain rules that used to be
designated as the code of honor. Indeed,
he, who has been looked upon as type
Of the new south, has been guilty of
conduct that is unworthy of the age in
which he lives and that cannot fail to
bring ridicule upon him. Mr.. Phelan
is scholar and under ordinary clrcum-
stances, sensible man, but appears
to have permitted harsh criticism upon
book of which he was proud as a
father of his offspring to cost him his
temper. The duello is "reminiscences OF
barbarism; it was followed in the south
long after it should have been aband.
oned to the pagans; it exists in France
only as burlesque. That Mr.. Phelar
should have suggested an arrangement
with his critic is surprising to those who
know him as a mild-mannered, progress
i've publicist and student. 1t might
reasonably have been expected of him
that he should be above the swashbuck-
lerism affected by the "Kunnels" and
"Majahs. who lag supertluous on the
stage Of American events.

A MAGAZINE writer objects to the use
Of the term member of congress as a
designation of member of the house of
representatives, and argues that sena-
tor is member of congress as much as
the representative. The point is we'll
enough taken, but for one thing. The
proper designation for the person we call
member Of congress is representative;
but in most of the states of the union
the lower branch OF the legislature has
the same name as the lower branch OF
congress; and therefore we would have
in addition to the United States repre-.
sentatives, anywhere from thirty to one
hundred other representatives. To avoid
confusion, therefore, it is not only proper
but preferable that we should continue
to call our representative in congress.
(until he shall have been displaced by
democrat) Congressman Carter, in orde
that he may not be confused with stat,
representative of the, same name VIII,
may hereafter be chosen.
