THE SHADOWGRAPHER.

l am lodging at a high-priced house
just off the avenue,
The location is convenient and the
Rent is paid when due.
The room is neatly furnished
On a desirable floor,
But the one and sole objection
Is a piano next door.
l work at night and go to bed
At three o'clock A. M.
The nights are cool and pleasant,
And sleep is easy when
/ touch the pillows downy rest
And dream of fortunes store,
Until there comes a nightmare from
The piano next door.
The practice hour begins at nine
And lasts till half past ten.
I am the tortured audience.
And she the musician.
Its lone, two, three" and flour, five, six"
And zone, two. three once more,
And flour, five. SIX" and thus it goes
With the piano next door.
If l could find the fend who made
The first piano,
L " Gol % AHA ~ hdU 1AIppCl UdSh
In envy would glow.
I'd then find all the teachers
And take along their gore
And stop all further business
On the piano next door.

The ignorant hordes of the effete east
will doubtless learn with much surprise
thai a temperance agitation is now under
way in Helena. During a brief visit to the
eastern part Of the western hemisphere l
found a general impression that Montanians
we're accustomed to drink raw vitrol with
alcohol on the side. At the St. James hotel
there is a mixture called a Montana eye
openel." After securing a card from the
proprietor of the house, Capt. Conner, ]
learned the composition of this mixture.
The white apsoned chemist takes q copper
lined iron mortar in his rubber
gloved hand and fills it with dis
titled nitric acid. In this he throws
a handful Of copperas which is slowly dis
solved over the flames of a gas stove and is
left for a moment to COO. A dash of dyna.
mite cordial is added, a spoonful of Butte
whiskey follows to give it flavor, and ther

temperance movement in Helena is a sue

many appears to be in fair way of be-
coming an insufferablc little prig A
few days ago, when returning with his
brothers from drive, the palace guard
as usual, turned out on the approach of
the imperial children. AS the carriage
had driven up rather rapidly the men
were forced TO run as fast as they could
to assume their place in the ranks, and
one unfortunate fellow, in his haste.
forgot his gun. This was Immediately
noticed by the crown prince, who, us
soon as ever the carriage had stopped,
instead Of entering the palace, hurried
off with his brothers to the officer in
command Of the guard for the purpose
of lodging complaint against the sol
der who bad appeared without his rife.
The result was that the soldier was SOD
fenced to four days arrest and to o
further term of fatigue duty for his re-
missness, while the Berlin papers are
filled with laudatory notices of the mill
tary feeling and precision of the future
emperor of Germany.

Now sunko Game in rar,s.

Pnris' most popular buDko game tust
now is played thus: a well-drcescd
stranger with q handbag hurries into
hotel restaurant near n railway sta
ton, eats fine dinner, and engages
the landlord in conversation. He
praises the cooking, and, after paying
his bill, promises to make the hotel his
headquarters during his frequent visits
to the city. AS he opens the door to
leave he calls back for the landlords
name When the landlord gives it the
stranger remarks: Curious, that is my
name, too" asks the landlord to care
for letters or packages to his address,
and leaves. Letters come for the
stranger and are called for by his
valet" Finally package comes and
is also carried off. That Is nil. The
trick Is up, and the landlord and the
tradesman who sent round the package
may settle the loss as best they can.

condemnation of certain lands now owned
by the Union Pacific will now be submitted
to the action of the supreme court. There
is no doubt, as the News has pointed out,
but that the Eastern is but the iieurehead
of one of the big trunk lines, probably the
Chicago and Northwestern. Indeed, one of
the grounds of the Union Ipaciiic's appeal is
to the effect that the Eastern is not a rail
road in the sense that will allow it under
the statute to gain a right of way by con-
policy of the Union Pacific is grounded on
the plan that it is fighting against the en-
croachments of an unknown and powerful
rival.
The Union Pacific is not kicking at the
price awarded by the commissioners, but
strenuously objects to letting go its hold of
the land of which it Is the owner. The,
main objection to the action of the court is
that the Colorado Eastern is not d railroad
in the eye of the law and therefore has no
right to resort to condemnation proceed
inCS. Still another objection is heard upon.
the allegation that the land in question is
now in use by its line for railroad purposes
and Aence cannot be condemned by any in
divid. Al or any corporation.
The latter point was the most conspicu-
Gus feature of the trial, md a raft of wit
neSSes We're introduced to show that the
land was not in railroad use. The Union
Pacific will contest the case inch by inch
and OF allow another competing trunk line
to enter the city if stubborn fighting will
prevent it. Rocky Mountain News.
