nance requiring it to purchase Of home parties II
possible, gave the contract to the Puget Sound

Mr. Royal, deputy insurance commissioner,
has just returned from Tifin, o., where he went

Trying to Settle Differences With
Pocket-Knife.

Pocket knife.
Daniel Mcmillan, of Edison, was taken to
Providence hospital yesterday suffering from a
deep cut, just below the heart, received at the
hands OF one Archie Wilson. The stabbing was
the result of "good time," in which little too
much whisky was drunk. Mcmillan and Will
son got into a discussion over some private diff
ferences and concluded to fight 1t out with bare
knuckles. When both were ready Wilson
suddenly sprang forward and stabbed Mcmillan
in the left side with an ordinary pocket-knife
The blade entered between two ribs and sank 10
the hilt. In his fury the assailant dealt two
more strokes. both slashing the victim in the
right shoulder.
Mcmillan was very weak from the loss oil
blood and il was feared he would bleed to death,
but luckily medical assistance was at hand and
the wounds were dressed. Wilson il still at
liberty

DE Mortuis Nil Nisi Bonum.n
We have nothing to say in dispar-
agement of Helena.
Let the dead and beautiful rest.'
It is only as an aspirant for becom-
ing the capital Of Montana that we
are compelled to compare her advant-
ages with those Of Bohemian.
We have no cuts or c%aricatures bv
which to present to the eye the re-
spective merits Of these two places.
The places themselves must be Q g
in order to understand the immense
superiority of Bozeman.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-04-08

If we had an artist such as other
advertisers possess, we could make
us a cut Of a mule or jackass with one
or both hind feet landed in the region
OF the stomach Of a very old lady
ycleped Helena we fancy she
would drop her knitting and assume
a different attitude from the one in
which she has been presented.
But whether Helena remains bolt
upright or gets doubled up, as she
may when the vote Of the CAPITAL
question takes place, there can be
but n opinion about the attractive
ess Of Bohemian, and it's suitability
as a place for the permanent capital
Of Montana.

Longevity of Plants and Animals.

1t Is interesting to compare the age
OF man with that of other parts of the
organic kingdom. La the vegetable
world 1t is enormously exceeded.
Among trees, the elm reaches an age
of sos years; the ivy. $50; the chest
nut 600; the olive, 700; the cedar, 800;
tho oak. 1900; the yew. $500; while
Humboldt computed the age OF a baobab
tree "a species of banyan) to be $500
years! Among fish DR.. Richardson
finds no deaths from old age, aud does
not believe that they have any term to
their lives save as they fall prey to
one another. Carp and other fish that
have been isolated and watched are
still living at enormous ages. AS long
as they live they increase in size.
Among animals, we have an elephant
of the reputed age OF 1907 years.
Coming TO men, we find many remark
able instances of longevity. The long
lists given by the old writer's of very
aged people (including one of over 800
years OF age) have been proved to be
most unreliable. Many cases, how
ever, are beyond suspicion, and such
an unimpeachable centenarian as Sir
Moses Montefore silences all skeptics
who doubt that human life can attain
to three figures. Old Parr still re-
mains as one OF the most wonderful oil
these veterans. He was poor farm
servant and like Henry Jenkins (who
was supposed to be 160 years old al
death), led a hard and laborious life in
country village on scanty fare. Al

ond wife, and at 120 could thrash
corn. He died at 1872, but not of old

AN OLD WOMAN SINGING.


Sweet are the songs that have heard
From green boughs and the hnilding bird;
From children bubbling Ger with tune
While sleep sti1l held me half in swOon,
And surly bees hummed everywhere
Their drowsy bass along the air;
From hunters and the hunting horn
Before the day star woke the morn;
From boatmen in ambrosial dusk
Where, richer than puff of musk,
The blossom breath they drifted through
Fell cut of branches drenched with dew,
And sweet the strains that come to mo
When in great memories see
All that full-throated quiring throns
Go streaming on the winds OF song;
Her who afar in upper SKY
Sounded the wild Valllyrie's cry,
With golden clash of shield and spear,
Singing for only gods to henr;
And her who on the trumpets blare
Sang "Angels Ever Bright and Fair,
Her voice, her presence where she stood,
Already part of angelhoods:
But never have 1 heard in song
Sweetness and sorrow so prolong
Their being-as hushed music rings 80
Along vibrating silver strings
As when, with all her eightyRyears,
With all her fires long quenched in tears,
A little woman, with a look
Like some flower folded in u book,
Lifted a thin and piping tone,
And like the sparrow made her moan,
Forgetful that ansthor heard,
And sang till all her soul was stirred.
And listening, oh, what joy and grief
Trembled there like a trembling leafl
The strain whore first-love thrilled the bars
Beneath the priesthood of the stars:
The murmur OF soft lullabies
Above dear unconsenting eyes;
The hymns whore once her pure soul trod
The heights above tho hills of God
All on the quavering note awoke,
And in a silent passion broke,
And made that tender tune and word
The sweetest song ever heard.

Bazaar.
