THE FACTS OF THE Case.
AS far as careful and rigid
investigation could arrive at
the facts, they are these: Six
years ago j. w. Davis entered
the employ of B G. Evans. Pre-
vious to that time he had been
with the st. Louis dry good
company. He was a trusted
empIoye Of Mr. Evans. who had
been very kind and lenient 10
him on many occasions. When
sick the employer had gone TO
see him and saw that he want
ed for nothing. Davis was adj
dicted TO drinking, and Mr..
Evans had repeatedly spoken to
him about the. evil effects of the
habit and its damage 10 his
business prospects. Davis was
IN the clothing department, and
some time AGO. his driDking

same time reducing his salary.
Yesterday morning Davis came
TO the store and il is said had
been drinking. Mr.. Evans had
a conversation with himin the
morning and told Davis h. could
stand his drinking no longer; ;he
must stop drinking or quit his
employ; be must begin new
Monday or grt another place.
About noon Davis went to A. j.
Anderson's and bought a Al
caIiber pistol, saying be wanted

against his life. About 3:15

threats made, induced Robert
Sandidge, one Of the clerks, TO
go to Mr.. Hollingsworth the
treasurer Of the company, and
tell him that Mr.. Evans should
be.warned. Not believi < that

papers for a consignment of manageable
young ladies. One day last week one Of the
most popular teachers in the Central school
building was heard to remark at the close
of her days work, IF some man would ask
me to marry him tonight / would say yes
and insist on the ceremony being per-
formed Immediately, SO / would not have
to go back into the school again ia the
morning" 1t would seem to me that the
young men are very difident if they do not
take advantage of this heartfelt exclama-
ton.
The following regarding a former Helena
young man is taken from the Trident and
Post, published in Cleveland, O.: Ben b.
Baldwin, formerly of Helena, Mont, now
with the Grown Laundry company, of this
city, was married Wednesday evening to
Miss Nellie G. Meyer. at the residence Of
Mrs. M. M. Baldwin, in the Arthur block,
Rev. Earl d. Holz officiating. The
wedding was private on account of
the death of the groom's father,
w. M. Baldwin. The newly welded
couple will reside in the Arthur block"
The father of Mr.. b. Baldwin was county
treasurer of Lewis and Clarke county for
some time, and was a well known and pop
ular resident of Helena. The young couple
have the hearty congratulations of the
friends of the groom in this city.

creatures made their presence known.
There is perhaps no night in the year which

even the Italian sunshine can scarcely make its
way. We would sit in some dark corner and
watch them as they prayed. clustering around
the altar rail, with the soft light of the candles
shining upon their upturned faces.
THE GREAT PROCESSION.
After these days Of religious ceremonies the
Pedrono is ended by great procession called
ii corso.' The people gather for hours be-
forehand in the great piazza. and, being tired
and weary, many fall asleep in the shade Of the
cloisters against the great doors Of the church,
and even inside, where they have gone for
prayer and rest But at in the evening all is
excitement; the procession, led by the clergy
and choir boys. enters the church. The people
follow with a shout of viva Jesu Christi; viva
Maria" During the benedction they all Join
with the choir in singing the hymns Never
has congregational singing seemed SO sweet, SO
touching, as IN this exquisite old MEDIEVAL
church, where the kneeling peasants seem
so devout. so much in earnest. After this
festival, before the peasants leave for
their homes, the great fair takes place.
Out on the Prato stand thousands OF beauti-
ful white oxen, brought here from all the sur
rounding country, horses, sheep, pigs booths
filed with cloth of every description, household
goods, fruits, vegetables. &c. Then the races
on the Corso and finally the tombola, or state
lottery, when the great prizes are awarded.
All this is intensely interesting to the artists
and those who desire to study these children OF

upon it. The dyes are not only used to adj
vantage upon textile fabrics, but the fine Stat
work which is used for splashers. mats and is
often painted with Japanese designs and hung
for scrolls, has been utilized for catchalls,
letter or newspaper racks by means Of the
dyes.
EfFEcrrvE USE OF DYES.
A strip Of this fine wood material il stained

up to form pockets fine manila rope is then
stained to match in color, the rope knotted to
make chain and sewed around all the edges Of

gold and china blue are some of the shades sue
cessfully applied, various sizes indicating the
uses to which they are to be put to correspond
with a room; they look quite pretty and have
usefulness also to recommend them. This fine
rope is used quite extensively Just now for dec
orative purposes; for instance, little whisk
brooms for bric-a-brac are made by taking four
lengths of it eighteen inches long. braid
ing them loosely together, leaving four
inches free at each end of the strands.
The loose ends are brought together and tied,
then combed out to form the brush part,
while the braid makes loop or curve for the
handle; bow of ribbon conceals the tying and
gives the decorative touch, which is the making
of all these trifles. This will make a good
article for fair or serve as a slight remem-
brance at Christmas. maybe, when many friends
are to be thought Of The rope edgings are
still used for furnishing up little tables small
round or square top may Be covered with Gre
tonne, plush or what.not, and lengths of the
rope tackled on the edge in a curve, the two ends
hanging down being fringed into tassels. One
length overlaps another, SO as to form pattern
in the way it is tackled on, the lengths varying
sometimes SO that the tassels are long and short
alternately. All such ideas may be utilized by
home workers successfully if good taste die
tates the style and amount and suitability Of
the decorations.

A Farewell to the Birds,

AM well-beloved dost thou think
When seated in thy fireside's glow,
As through the doOrway's gaping chink
The icy winds Of winter blow,
That, since the autumn. bright and still,
Inc birds-those darling, thOughtless things
Have stayed till, stung by winters chill,
Toward southern shores they've turned theil
wings;
And there, with pinions blanched with hail,
Have sunk before the north winds blow,
Wnlle all along the driving gale
Has followed them with snow, snow, snow:
And now, bewdered in the haze,
NOceless they wait, benumbed with chills-
The birds, whose bright triumphant laws
Beguiled our rambes Ger the hiiis7
Alas! that death must be their turn,
These shvering wanderers from our cline
Thinkst thou of them? For Inc, l mourn
Our singers Of the lost sprngtime
Tonight thou sayst, with love aname,
"S0on back to us our birds will mover
But few of them will be the same
And wilt thou love with last years love?
