He Is Correct.

A.. 7. Filler, a we'll known capitalist and
man Of affairs, whose home is on the wooded
shores of the Wissahiekon. in Philadelphia,
says that Montana is the coming great state
of the union. "What may one not expect
of a state which, by the work of 10000
people, last year produced $47, 00o,0 900 worth
of bullion?" he asked. "The per capita
wealth of Helena is greater than that of any
city, not alone in America. but in the whole
world, and the wealth of the people there ID
more evenly divided. l nave no financial
interest whatever in Montana, but the
coming greatness of the state is shown in
the fact that in Helena, a place Of 5000
inhabitants, the banks of the city carry a
surplus of nearly $4,O 600, OOO."

Mi. PARNELI.'s leading supporters
have undoubtedly determined to con-
tinue the organization Of the faction Of
which he was the leader. They will
doubtless come to a full realization OF
their folly before the next session Of
parliament, The personality of the
great leader was really all that was
recognized in the so-called Parnellito
party, and with his death must disap-
pear all reasons, real or imaginary, for
the existence OF this organization. As
Thomas Power O'Conner once said in
Helena, home rule for Ireland can only
be- secured through the assistance Of
Mr.. Gladstone and the liberal party.
The great Irish leaders seem to recog-
nize this political truth and are working
hand in hand with the great commoner.
1t is not probable that the remaining
forces who clung to Parnell will develop
sufficient strength to retard this move
ment, but they should be made aware of
their foolish warfare it they care to
hasten the day when Ireland will be
ruled by her countrymen.

ONE BY SAM DAVIS.

The Carson "Appear' Man Tells a Funn
Story on q Hunter.
A very funny incident is occasionally toll
by Lyman Frisbie on himself. He is au
thority for the following:
Some time ago Lyman INDUCED in
camping trip around the mountain lake
in company with a few others on pleasur
bent.
Frisbie had gained considerable renowl
as a hunter, having taken three boob,
30 he took along his trusty muzzle-loadine
shotgun. assuring the party that he would
keep them in fresh meat.
The first day out Lyman shouldered hi
rusty weapon and went after some gam,
for supper, going a mile OF two from
camp.
In about an hour something that looked
like trisbie was seen coming over the hill
on the dead jump. He was hatless, gun
less, gameless and almost b%reathlsss. Whsr
he got within hailing distance somebod,
yelled:
"What are you runnin' for?"
BY this time Lyman was close enough tt
talk.
Kill him" he shouted.
Kill what?" was asked. Cant see any.
thing
Don't We hear him, you id foolsp"
Hear what?" they asked eagerly.
That rattlesnakeI" shouted Frisbie al
loud as he could with what little breath hi
had left, az he ran into the crowd.
Then they realized this situation. Lymar
had the dellrlun tremens, of course, and
they guessed they would have to tie him
down until he got rational.
Poor Frisbie e1postulated and tried tc
explain, called them blooming idiots, said
he hadn't touched a drop of liquor of any
kind for a week, said he didn't see the
snake, but knew it must have been over If
made must have had three sets Of rattles
and any number of buttons.
But they just merely put a gag in his
mouth to keep back his insane rawlings, told
him they we're friends of his and wouldn't
let the snake hurt him; they bathed his
on.his feet, etc.
Finally Lyman concluded that the sooner
he quoted down tho better. flo was care
fully nursed all that night, however. and
never received SO much tender care in hia
life for SO little money.
Iney let him up in the morning. after
putting the whisky undor look and Kew.
They had all agreed to humor LYMAN IN
case no made any ~allusion to the matter,
and 80 Whenever Frisbio opened up the
subJoot they told him not to worry, an thew
had killed ths snake and everything was ali
right. His hat and gun were found nearly
miles from camp and returned to him.
The whole thing leaked out in a few
days, when he started hunting again.
Somebody tossed him his hunting coat. and
Frjsbie heard coming from ono OF tho
pockets the same rattle. Tie lodged the
coat. and when 1t hit the ground he turned
loose both barrels into it, rsmarkinp that
no guessed that rattlssnake had rattisd his
obituary. -
Then the coat was carefully examined.
and II WAS discovered that a little innooenI-
looking box of percussion caps had caused
all the trouble, having initiated a rattle
snake TO perfection. Frisbie estimates that
no smashed all previous r~cords for "A pile

OUR ATTITUDE.

The worst enemy of the American
people would hardly accuse us Of being
overburdened with a sentiment of rev.
erence either towards antiquity OF
elevated position. Truth to tell, demo,
cratic Institutions are not apt to breed
the reverential sense. Under certain
conditions, stage thunder is remarkably
effective. Given a judicious lowering OF
the footlights and entire ignorance OF
the mysteries Of its production, and the
thunder Of the theater will produce a
thrill in the region Of the spinal column
that is wonderfully effective. But for
the man who has found his way behind
the scenes and helped to shake the
vault OF heaven with a sheet of zinc, the
thunder of the stage has lost it's %terrors.
A people that has imbibed with it's
mothers milk a belief in the existence
Of a privileged class and it's heaven
allotted position finds it very hard to
shake the incubus from it's brain, ever
when 1t has reached maturer years.
But a nation, like our own, whose
breath makes and unmakes it's officers
from the lowest rung of the official lad
der to the very highest, is not long in
discovering that all men are but mortal
after all. In republics, reverence feeds
on thistles, and the diet does not pro-
duce flesh.
just whore we should draw the line is
matter for nice discrimination. How
low shall we bend the knee? How
straight shall we keep our backs? Elk
tremes are proverbially dangerous and
the attitudes of reverence and %irrever-
once are no exception to the rule. In
its extreme of cultivation, we know of
no frame Of mind that will SO paralyze
and numb both personal and national
action as reverence run to seed. Then
reverence ceases to be reverence and
becomes the merest toadyism and
a%pishness. 1t is the mental bankruptcy
of individualism that breeds anglo
maniacs and other vermin. 1t is the
littleness of mind that can find
nothing of merit within it's own coun-
try, that neglects it's own artists, sneers
at it's own literary people, and acts as a
general wet blanket on every popular
1t is the vapid emptiness
that is glad to set it's foot on vice versa.
and after a few weeks residence on the
"continong" signs itself as hailing from
the Etats Unis. If we are to maintain
our position as one Of the greatest DOW
ers OF the world, WE may pray heaven to
deliver us from the washy dilutions of
life, that forget the name of
their own country and think nothing
good that is not imported, don't you
