How Owen and Jason Bro~n Disposed
Of Their Little Fortune.

Of Their Little Fortune.
John Brown, of Harper's Ferry, whose
soul goes marching on, has two sons, Owen
and Jason, who went into the valley where
Pasadena sits, in the sunshine of the Cali
fornia paradise, and there struggled
against adversely and fought pinched cir
cunlstances in a long and hard contest.
A Lewiston gentleman who is just home
from Washington met in New York an
old friend, an attorney of much note, who
settled the estate of one of these sons, who
died at or near Pasadena. The attorney
told the Lewiston gentleman a story whose
moral will be found touching, no matter
how badly it may be told in this place, and
whose theme is heroic along the better line
Of heroism This attorney found the az
fairs of the deceased in good order, but his
estate small He obtained from the sur
viving son memento of John Brown,
letter written to one OF the sons nearly
fifty years ago-a good letter, with one or
TWO bits of honest, manly advice in it.
In process of looking up the affairs the
attorney found that the two sons had lived
along in rather pinched way paying for
their little place, working hard and pa
tiently accomplishing in their toll, and
that they finally had saved 500 for a little
nest egg against future troubles. Four
years ago or more, as every one knows,
Charleston, S. c., fell in earthquake.
There was want and suifering-a misery
in some sections paralleled only by the
food at Conemaugh. When those two
brothers heard of it, forgetting that South
Carolina had embodied the element that
had slain a father, and hearing only the
cries of want and restitution, they sent
their entire little fortune to Charleston,
and it was used in allaying the miseries of
the men and women who, ina certain way,
had been responsible for their fathers
death.
There's the story. You can think it
over, especially in the light OF its unosten-
tatious giving, and perhaps you may see
its moral. The fact that it has been UNI
noticed so long, and that one of the sons
has died without seeing even a newspaper
reference to the incident, is proof enough
that it was a gift of pure generosity and
nothing else.-Lewiston (Me.) Journal

The fair held at Capac last week was
success. The weather on the first

cold and rainy, but the succeeding days
being fine, everything was favorable
for a good turnout. The displays IN
the different departments of the halls
were fair, but hardly up to the average,
but the numerous attractions on the
grounds made up for all other def
ciencies. The crowds who come in the
morning to stay all day must have
something to amuse and keep their at
tentions engaged therefore it pays to

good. 1t is reported that the society

The governors message was very favorably
received by the representative men OF both

of the senators during the afternoon dis
closes a nearly unanimous view.

message ever given out by a governor in
Montana and ne ADDED that it contained
nothing Objectionable to the s~trictest
partisan.
Lieutenant Governor Richards said that
the message was very able and exhaustive
He might naturally feel disposed to c~riticise
a few points. but on the whole it was an ex-
cellent message.

good that it could hardly be improved upon.
The senator was particularly pleased with
that portion of the message relating to
changes in the registration law.
Senator Brown said the message could
hardly be better. There may be a few
points open to criticism, but as a whole the
message is indeed an excellent document.
Senator Hoffman remarked that it would
be necessary to get to work very soon to
cover the legislature outlined. II was an
excellent message and covered ev rything.
Senator Hennessy said it was very able,
and senator Thornton, who WAS standing
near by, said the message was simply great.
Senator Parberry regarded the message
as very good, though he did not favor that
clause referring to the election OF senators
By appoftionment of the population.
Senator Gibson said 1t was q splendid
message. covering all points.
Senator Mats said it was q good business
like message, in which no needless words
were used.
Senator Buford was enthusiastic over the
message. He said that he became inter
ested in it md followed it carefully. While
it was long. he thought all features men-
toned we're necessary for comment.
Senator Thomson said that it was very
rood, and that he had no fault to find with
II.
Senator Goddard said the messsg on the
whole WAS very good, but he thought the
governor WAS insiucere in the recommends
tons concerning registration.
