1t is said that the sole secret of the sue
cess of Jay Gould AS "A non maker lies in
the fact that he buys when other people are
selling and sells when others are buying.
During the tendency of u dull time in the

go begging for purchasers, the agents of the

by calling loans. tying up money and other

securities gathered on such occasions
are subsequently marketed in tho higher
plane of prices which follow in regular
cycle. ihe evident coed policy of such

They buy Mt the higher prices and sell at the
lower. AT this time. when real estate IL low

That the Omaha merchants will 60 away
from Helena with the best of feeling, and
filled with a determination to work hard to
secure closer communication with Montana
merchants, is q forgone conclusion. The
Commercial club has already planned a
most taking form of entertainment, and its
guests will have no cause to regret their
visit. The excursionists will visit Helena,
Great Falls, Butte, some of tile surround
ing camps aud probably go to the National
Park. Just when they will get here has not
been definitely decided, but it will be some
time before the 18th.

WANTED WHISKY AND TOBACCO

A Pauper who Desired to Go TO the
Poor House las a Gentleman"
From Trop Times.
Fri Gray, formerly of Roxbury, n.
Y, is los years old, and the Sun
thinks he is in all PROBABILITY the
oldest resident of the Empire State.
The other day Fri, who is poor and
has no means of support, was taken
10 the County Poor Farm at Delhi.
On the way the person in whose
charge he was stopped with him at
Crispell's hotel, at Andes, for
dinner. Earl was carried
into the bar room, and while
dinner was being prepared many per-
sons took an opportunity to converse
with him. The villagers rushed to
the hotel to get glimpse of the OLD
man as soon as ii was noised about
that he was there. "Uncle Fri"
made way with a COON substantial
meal, consisting of ham, potatoes,
vegetables and bread and butter. On
going back to the barroom he asked
for a drink OF whisky to wash the
meal down. Here the difficulty
began. The town of Andes is q mo

could be obtained at the hotel.
1t was suggested that the person
in whose charge the old man was
should 60 to the village druggist and
tell him that "Uncle Fri" want
ed y drink of whisky, and it would
no doubt be sent him. The druggist
refused, saying that physician's
prescription must first be obtained.
The attendants returned to the hotel,
and all present were aston
ished that the old man would
not be permitted to enjoy
what had been one of the
main comforts of his life. A person
we'll known in the community hap
pened to be in the hotel at the time,
and requested that the attendant re-
turn to the druggist and again plead
the old mans cau.e, promising that
if he did not succeed in getting the
desired liquor, he would himself pro-
cure physiciau's prescription. The
second visit brought the whisky,
which "Uncle Fri" drank with q
relish. 1t was then time for the old
man and his attendant to start for
Delhi, as they had several miles 10
60. AS the attendant was about 20
pick up Fri and carry him out
to the conveyance the old man sud.
denly spoke up, saying: mot yet,
until / get good 10 cent cigar. If
am going to the Poor House it shall
not be as pauper, but as gentle
man." The cigar came quicker than
the whisky. The old man lit it, and
pulled away as in scores of years gone
by. Then bidding those about him
good bye, "Uncle Fri" was soon on
the way to the place where he will
probably spend his remaining days.
Erl was born in Connecticut in 1888,
and when about 20 years of age came
TO Greene county, this state. He was
employed by Jay Gould's father on
his farm in Roxbury over sixty years
ago,

Teaching a Girl to Swim.

In deep water, under the care of an
experienced person. q young girl may
be taught to swim in q much shorter
time than by practicing in shallow
streams, says q good authority in the
August Ladies' Home Journal. A
rope can be fastened around her
neither tighten or unloose, and if
courageous enough, che can, thus
prepared, plunge in head first.
The teacher will show her the
proper way to use the arms.
and, finding herself protected by the
rope, she will feel more faith in the
exertion made. The aid of the hand
is, however, far better than this, as it
can be relinquished insensibly. The
best method of teaching on this plan
is for good swimmer to carry the
learner in the arms into the water I'M
til breast high, laying her nearly fiat
upon it, and supporting her by plac.
ing one hand under the chest, at the
same time giving instruction as to the
proper motion of hands, arms and
feet. In a few days the hand may
be gradually withdrawn, and
the girl swimmer able TO do without
it. There are ever so many 'don'ts'
about swimming. Unlike Punch's,
they begin after the act Is signed,
sealed and delivered, and you are 6
fair swimmer. The most important
piece of negative advise is, Don't ever
lose your presence of mind. With
that you are mistress of the situation
and, other things not overw helm
ingly against you, can reach lane
again.

a FIVE FOOT SNAKE.
1t Chases a North Berwick Man Who
Is saved by a sled Stake.

NORTH BERWICK, July 17.-It has become
known here that George Hussey, son Of Mr..
Isaac Hussey of this place, was the hero of a
novel battle last Sunday. George was out
for quiet Sunday walk near his fathers
barn, when he noticed curious commotion
in the tall grass. The grass was agitated by
a peculiar wavy or corkscrew motion that at
once attracted Hussey's attention. He
moved towards it, and. as he got into the
midst OF the grass where the greatest com
motion was, saw something spotted moving
rapidly away. He knew it was the tail OF a
snake; and as North Berwick snakes are
not usually dangerous he ran In pursuit and
put his flot on 1t. Like the man who
mOnkeyed with the buzz saw, he wished the
next instant that he hadn't. For there was
at once tremendous writning, and almost
before he knew it Hussey found rising up al
most in his face hugh serpent, with wide
open mouth from which a slender wiry
tongue kept darting out to the accOmpeni-
ment of the flashing of two very bright sell
pent eyes For an instant Hussey was al
most parayzed with fear. Then, as the
snake seemed on the point of closing in on
him, he turned and ran at the top Of his
speed. The big snake was a fighter, and its
dander was now thoroughly aroused. With
Its head raised in the ar and Its flexible body
bending rapidly in graceful but horrible
curves, the snake flashed along Ia in pursuit.
1t Is doubtful If snake In Maine was ever
before known to pursue man. Certainly
Mr.. Hussey had never been chased this way
before, and his feelings may be imagined
easier than described. After he had run sew
eral rods, and the snake seemed to be getting
the better of the race If anything, he saw to
his delight a sled stake lying on the ground
ahead. Hastily seizing 1t he turned at bay.
The snake came on, not at all intimidated
at the sight of the brandlshed stake. But
Mr.. Hussey was himself again, and with the
stake delivered the snake crushing blow
which stopped It's speed. Then he followed
the attack uD with other blows until the rep
tile was dead. Upon measureme it was
found that the snake was fully five feet long,
one of the largest ever seen in Maine. 1t
was an adder

Wild west at Long Island.

Captain Nettie Littell's grand wild west
exhibition opens at Long Island this after
noon, and with the attractions OF cow boys
in their feats Of horsemanship, lassolng,
shooting, bull whip swinging, etc.. will
draw to the island thousands during the rest
Of the season. The space enclosed for the
exhibition Is one Of the largest Wild west
shows and surely on the most attractive
place in the country. The land covered Is
about 40Ox250. Strong seats have been built
capable Of holding 1000 people. In the inte.
ricr will be the COW boys camp, just as it Is
pitched on the plains, for these are all genu-
inc cowboys, and no imitators. Back of the
camp and on each side are the woods OF the
island, making the scene all the more realis-
tic. This is one Of the finest wild west COM
panies on the road, and the proprietor, Miss
Littell, the champion long distance rider Of
America, the originator and wearer Of the
bifurcated skirt. Tomorrow, at o'clock. a
sacred concert by the American Cadet Band
will be given, and the camp will be open to
visitors. There Is no charge for admission
to the exhibition. Simply buy ticket with
wild west coupon. Take Casco Bay boats
for Long Island. There viii probably be
parade this morning.

HERES a PRETTY MESS.
Plenty of Scandal uneartned by In
vestIgatIng Canadians.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 1.-THE public ac-
counts committee of the House OF Commons
yesterday unearthed more irregular pay
ments in connection with the Department Of
the Interior. 1t was shown that money
was withdrawn under fictitious names and
that the system Of certifying 10 accounts Of
extra work was loose. TO say the least. Ii.
II. Turner, clerk in the department, ac-
knowledsed having drawn money under his
wife's maiden name for extra work ha had
done himself. Siuce 1884 he had received
$500 in that way. Lyndewads Peirra. sec
retary OF ths department, admits having
drawn money fGr extra work for seven or
eight wears in his wife's name aud In Ellen
Berry's name. Ellen Berry, he said, was n
fictitious name. In 1886 the money Tor ex-
ira work thus drawn in his wife'S name
amounted to $500. Mr. Burgess, deputy
minister Of the interior, submitted
statements In which he admit
ted that the civil service act had been
violated, but stated that he thought the
permanent clerks earned all they mad re-
ceived.
In consequence Of the disclosures made to
the committee Mr.. Peirra was suspended.
