Strangers to a Table d.Hote Dinner.

strangers 70 a Table d'HOte Dinner.
There are several large restaurants
in Fourteenth street that serve a table

o'clock in the evening, and they gather
into their nets all sorts and conditions
of men and women At a table in one
OF these places two women from the
country, one of whom wore a pancake

peaked bonnet smOthered in flowers,
seated themselves to go ~leisurely and
fully through the entire bill Of fare.
Toward the end their appetites began

not do justice TO the fruit and cake.
Thereupon one of the twain opened
capaciOus leather bag which she had
with her, and the other proceeded TO
tuek into it the cake, oranges and ba-
nanas that they could not eat. They
did it openly and as a matter of bust
ness, feeling no doubt that they had
paid for everything set before them,
whether they could eat it OF not. Then
they marched out without a blush.
while a surrounding jury of men smiled
at each other, and the indignant wait

AnIA-aIs THAT Live Under H.ayv Pre,.nr.

1t is said by scientists that fishes and
moIlusks living at a depth of more than
three miles under water have to bear a
pressure of several tons, the weight be-
ing that of the superincumbent brine,
which exerts its power from all sides.
The reason they are able to bear this
tremendous weights is because they have
exceedingly loose tissues, which allows
the water TO flow through every inter
stice, thus equalizing the weight When
the pressure is removed they die almost

Admiration Of a Montana Gambler for a
ParsOn Who Could Fight.
Dick Andrews was the toughest man
IN Butte city. and in those days Butte
was the toughest town in the west"
do you remember how he plugged
the marshal, who was trying to arrest
him, under the table and made his es-
capef'
Il was there at the time. Yet despite
the fact that he was a desperate, Dick
built the first church In Butte"
"Where is he nowf"
Last l heard he wa a missionary
out in Idaho. The building of that
church changed his whole character"
The speakers were enjoying their
after dinner cigars in the lobby of the
auditorium. All had tinges of gray in
their hair and deep lines around their
eyes marked the encroachment of age.
They were from Montana, but their at
tire vas as faultless as if they had Just
stepped from the big doorway of the
Union League club.
1T was this way, z" continued the last
speaker. Just when things were at
their worst in Butte and no attempt
was being made TO suppress vice, a
young preacher came out there from
the east. He was a strapping big fell
low named Worthing. He hired a
small building and b.gan TO hold serv-
ices every Sunday. Most Of the peo-
pile in town hadn't leen in a church for
years. and many " mt to hear him Just
for the novelty Of he thing. Worthing
was a man of pnsiderable common
sense and talkeC to the men so that
they could ind rstand what he was
driving al.
He didn't tea 'em that they were
all going 70 be Tanned, and made the
worst of 'em at least think about
leading a better life. Finally one day
the preacher was walking along the
street when "a big bully insulted him.
He believed in muscular Christianity.
and shooting out his left square from
the shoulder sent the bully sprawling 10
the ground. Then he stopped down
and took away the fellows gun before
he had a chance to draw il. Dick An
drews saw the affair, and swore that
WOrthing wouldn't be interfered with
again without somebody getting filed
full Of lead.
Boys. we must have a rake off for
the parson, said Dick that night when
he opened his gambling house, the
Golden Deer. He's shown that he's a
man, and we must show that we APP
preciate the fact
The boys all assented. and when
midnight came the parsons pile amount
ed to 500. Dick counted the n
and then thought for a moment or two.
Boys said he at length, I'm go
ing to try to make this pile build the
parson a church. I'm going across the
street and see if / can't win out a stake.
A play made for such a purpose ought
TO bring good luck
"Dick went across the street and
gambled with varying success till day
light. Just as Mr.. Worthing was eat
ing breakfast Dick appeared and
dumped 81, 700 on the table.
There, parson,' said Dick, that's
to build a church
"Mr. Worthing at first refused to
take the money, but finally consented,
and the church was built. Dick took
an interest in the ediice and became
converted. As l said before, he is now
