OUR STORY CLUB.

The Christmas Entertainment Given by
the Pupils OF st. Peters sohooi
ST. Peters school was crowded yesterday
with ~visitora who went to see the debut Of
Our Story club. Pref. Simpson had sug-
gosted TO tho pupila some time ago that they
depart from the usnal form of entertain
ment given by schools a. the beginning OF
the Chgistmas holiday vacation and his
idea was eagerly adopted by tho boys and
girls. Each of the pupils was requested to
write an original Christmas atory, to DO
read on the day the school closed for the
Christmas holidays. This was the founda-
tion of the Story club and yesterday the
parents OF the pupils and the friends Of tina
school heard the stories. There were con
solutions not only from the advanced
scholars, hut the little lads and lassies in
Mics Flint's department ALSO told about
Santa Claus n Christmas time.
Among this contributors were Ada
Webb, Percy Hotter, Aubrey Hol-
Edith Young, Adele Parohen, Sue b
Chessman. Lewis and Belle Davis, Gertr nde
Harrison, Frank Chessman. The pu9ils
read each others story and some of them
showed a q eat deal OF originality. The
entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed by
all.
The stories have all been bound together
and will form the nucleus of Our Story
Clubs lib ary. The front cover was deco
rated by Miss Wheeler. the artist. "Christ-
mas. 1891" in bright gold letters extend
across the emit 9 cover. while the sides and
top and bottom are decorated with holly
leaves. The rear cover has o beautiful
etching by A. L. Foote. showing a row of
log cabins on Main street, as they used to
be, and TO old-timers they look as natural
as life.

ONE of the useless discussions of the
day concerns the authorship of tariff re-
form. The New York Sun insists that
the credit belongs to Col. Watterson, OF
Kentucky, and other contemporaries
place it with other democrats. Tariff
reform dates back to the earliest politi-
cal economists, but SO far as the origin
and growth of the principle is concerned
in this country the credit may be given
to the American newspapers at large.

The New York Herald again comes to
the front for Mr.. Dana and dominates
him for minister to England. Probably
no American would fill that position
with better grace or more credit to this
government. But it is to be remem-
bered that Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Dana
have neve formed a close political part
nership, nor are they likely to do 8 be-
fore the appointment to the court of st,
James.

THE PIONEER COLLEGE.

That of III. I. Engeihorn, and it's Also the
Leader.
The Eneelhorn Helena Business college,
on the corner of Main street and sixth
avenue, despite the dull times, is enjoying
a most successful term. The total ENROLL
ment up to date is an even 100, while the
demand from me chants and professional
men for graduates is greater than the sup
ply. The success of the college is richly de-
served. 1t is the pionees business college,
not only of the city but of the state. and
from its inception to the present time the
whole idea of the proprietor has been to
surround himself with a tho oughly equip
ped co ps of assistants and to give every
student full value for his or her money.
The college is entering on its tenth year,
and hundreds OF young men and women in
Montana, who to-day are occupying posi-
tions of trust and esponsibility, owe theil
success to the instruction received at the
Engelhorn college. Young people of either
sex who desire to fit themselves for bust
ness life cannot do better than take a
course at the college.

FRANCIS MARION CRAWFORD, an au-
thority of considerable standing on ic-
ton, says that we have more raw mater.
ial for novel making in this country than
in an other. This is doubtless true for
the changes in methods of living are
more numerous and more striking here.
Mr.. Crawford might have truthfully
added that we also have more raw
novels in this country for the reasons
above suggested.

AN interesting theory has been adj
vanced concerning the causes of this
threatening disturban of the French
mind. 1t has been seriously reasoned
that the agitation which is so general
and for which no very good explanation
has geen given, is really n mental dis
ease. 1t is generally a season OF public
scandal and Of trouble IN govern
mont affairs, but these do not explain
the discomfort which seems to exist
among the people at large. 1t is not due
to the lack Of prosperity in general for
the French peasants are among the
most prosperous in the world. The
theory, therefore, that this uncertain
feeling is but another phase Of that SEN
tlment which has started revolutions In
France at very short notice and without
cause is certainly worth studying.

The offer of $4,000 for a battle be-
tween the pugilists suggests the inquiry
as to whether pugillsm is not a good
profession to follow SO long as you can
win. The great drawback is that a
single blow may not only defeat the as
spirant but retire him from the profess
sion. He is then like Othello, except
that in the l~atter's time when a man
was without an occupation he was at
least willing to work.

A Woman Who Got Even for Some
Fancied Slight
81 can't say what the woman with a
brown hat On had done to the woman in
the black hat, On a Twenty-third street
car the other day. When | got on they
sat opposite each other and were looking
each other over in that cold and cruel way
peculiar to the SEX" writes M. Quad in
the New York World. "Probably both
had attempted to board the car at once,
and one had been forced to give way, or
the woman with the brown hat, who wore
No 2 shoes, had sneered at the No. As
opposite. Whatever the cause their de-
meanor was so marked as to be noticeable.
by and by the woman in the brown hat
who held some change in her hand, started
TO place it in her portemonnaie In so
doing penny slipped from her fingers
and rolled to floor. She at once bent
forward to look for it, and few seconds
later half arose to peer under the opposite
seats
"Oh, it was only penny, SIR" she said,
as the conductor entered to assist in the
search
NOW was the other woman's golden
opportunity She took a coin from her
purse. let it fall to the floor, and her voice
had the edge of razor to it as she rose up
and said:
"Con ducter, l have dropped a fve-dollar
gold piece, but you can find and keep it!
Please let me off a Forth avenue!'
And the woman In the brown hat flush

and Inundated that the conductor whisp-

tricks he ever saw played on that line.
