THE NAUGHTY LITTLE COMET.

There was little comet who lived near the
Milky Wayi
She loved to wander out at night and jump
about and play.
The mother of the comet was a very good old
star;
She used to scold her reckless child for ventur.
ing out too far.
She told her of the ogre, Sun, who loved on stars
TO sup.
And who asked no better pastime than in COB
bling comets up.
But instead of growing cautious and of showing
The foolish little comet edged up nearer, and
more near.
She switched her saucy tail along right where
the sun could see,
And fiirted with old Mars, and was as bold as
bold could be.
She laughed to scorn the quiet stars who never
She said there was no fun in life unless you
yentured out
She liked to make the planets stare and wished
no better mirth
Than Just to see the telescope aimed at her from
the Earth.
She wondered how so many stars could NOPE
through nights and days,
And 1T the sickly-faced old Moon get all the
love and praise.
And as she talked and tossed her head and
switched her shining trail
The staid old mother star grew sad, her cheek
grew wan and pale
For she had lived there in the skies a million
years or more,
And she had heard gay comets talk in just this
way before.
And by and by there came an end to this CAV
comets fun.
She went a tiny bit too iar-and vanished in the
sun.
NO more she swings her shining trail before the
whole worlds sight,
But quiet stars she laughed to scorn are twink.

INSPECTING THE MILITIA.
Captain Boutelle, OF the Regular
Army, Directed to Perform
That nuty.
General Orders From Adjutant
General Douglass for Al
to Prepare.
1t Is Expected That Much Good WIN RE-
suit Trem the Report and Its
Recommendation.

Under date of August 6. Adjutant-Gener.
al Douglass received the following let.e,
from Captain F. A. Boutelle. First cavalry
at Fort Custer:
Sir-I ave the honor to inform you tina,
I have been ordered by the secretary of wal
to inspect the National Guard of the state
of Montana, at the stations of the different
organizations. For this purpose / respect
fully report to the governor, the command
er-in-chief. Ii agreeable to him I should
like to Commence this work about the 18th
inst. Will you kindly inform me at as early a
date as practicable of the wishes Of the
governor and any matters he would like tc
have special attention.
The communication was submitted to
Governor Toole, who directed the adjutant.
general to have the inspection proceeded
with. Adiutant-General Douglass there
upon issued the following orders:
HEADQUARTERS NATIONAL GUARD OF
MONTANA.
ADJUrANT GENERALS OFFICE, I
HELENA. MONT, Aug. II, 1891.
GENERAL RIDERS NO. 8.
Captain L. A. Boutelle, First u. S.
cavalry, having, pursuant to instructions
from the secretary of war, reported to the
commander in chief for the purpose of in
speeding the national guard of Montana.
the various organizations and all officers of
the guard will hold themselves in readiness
for such inspection.
2-The commanding officers of compan-
les A. d, r. h. l and X, First infantry, and
troop b, cavalry, unattached, will parade
their companies for inspection under.such
orders as they may receive from Capt. Bou-
telle.
3-Colonel @. F. Lloyd, First infantry,
Will command companies Is, f and G,
stationed at Butte, and parade them for in
spection under such instructions as he may
receive from Capt. Routelle.
Major E. A. Kinney, First infantry,
will command Company @, First infantry,
troop A. cavalry, unattached, and battery
A., artillery. unattached, stationed at Hell
ena, and parade them for inspection under
such instructions as be may receive from

5-All officers and members of the nation
al guard of Montana will be subject to the
orders of Capt. Boutelle during the period
of his inspection.
By order of his excellency Joseph X.
Toole, governor and commander in chief.
S. r. DOUGLASS,
Adjutant General.
By this time Captain Boutelle is no doubt
in the field on the way toperform his duties
as inspector. An inspection by an officer
of the regular army is looked upon as a
good thing. 1t will result in pointing out
what defects, if any, exist in the militia
system of the state, and may, and no doubt
Will, result in the betterment of the service.
Captain Boutelle's report will be submitted
as soon after the inspection as possible and
will very likely contain many
dations and suggestions.

sold the Iron Crown mine, situated at the
head of Grouse gulch, to Mr.. A. C. Mclean.
representing the Grouse Mining company,
says the Mullan tribune. This is the larg-
est mining transaction that has taken place
around Mullan for some time. The sale
was outright, a good part OF the purchase
money, $780, 600. being paid in cash. Asso-
dated with Mr.. Mclean are Messrs. Woods
and Larson, the millionaire railroad con-
tractors. Henceforth all work done by the
Grouse company will be lone for the
mutual advantage of both Mines; the MAN
working tunnel that was started last winter
n in which machine drills are being used,
has been diverted from its intended course
at the 1900 foot mark and angled off to
reach the dividing line between the two
claims.
O. d. Garrison has just closed negotia-
tlons and the papers are now on record for
the purchase Of the Midnight on Chloride

tween the Morning and the You Like, west

BURNED BY GASOLINE.

Two Men Probably Fatally Injured by
an Explosion.
A serious gasoline explosion, in which two
men were terribly injured, one perhaps
fatally, occurred at Paoli, on the West Ches-
ter Branch of the Pennsy lvania Railroad.
The lower floor of the residence Of Will
lam Bickels, near the railroad station at
that village, is lighted entirely by gasoline.
10 supply this cemented tank has been
dug about fifty yards from the house. The
machinery for pumping the fluid and the
fluid itself occupy this tank. The barrels
were filed yesterday afternoon, and for
some reason the machinery refused to work
No one IN the Village understood the repair
Ing OF the Intricate machinery, and Joseph
Green, labOrer employed about the place,
volunteered to descend into the pit and at
tempt the necessary repairs.
The man made the descent, carrying with
him stable lamp. He was accompanied by
MT. Blckeis, who stood upon the ladder and
allowed Green 10 60 down alone. While
among the gasoline machinery the latter
turned on a valve, which allowed the fluid
70 escape into the bottom Of the tank. The
gasoline instantly communicated with the
naIne oil the lamp and completely surrounded
Green with flames He rushed out as soon
as possible and was rolled on the damp
grass, not soon enough, however to prevent
his shirt from being burnt completely off
his body and his head, face and neck being
roasted almost TO a crisp. The flesh on his
arms was also burned in great flakes.
Bickels. although some distance from the
fluid, was burned badly in the face by the
flash.
The burns were bandaged and attended to
as much as possible at Paoli and the men
were brought TO the Presbyterian Hospital
on The 1912 train. When Green reached
ms city lie presented horrible appearance.
His lace had parboiled livid aspect, the
eyes being bright red where the flames had
taken effect on the eyebalis. On his neck
and arms the flesh hung In shredS, some
being taken off with the bandages. The
resident physician expressed the fear that
he might have inhaled the fames.-Phila-
