In May last the above named tenn
porance lecturer was to be at Marshall
ton and Stanton. He failed to appear.
Then tho query was naturally started
as to why he did not fill his engage

back to his former habit OF intoxica-
ton and others seeking to throw the
mantle of charity over him and set up
the claim that he had a justlilable ex'
Cuse.
The following is the explanations:

New York he found the doctor and

actions since the loss OF their boy

He was not able to write. He re-
quested his daughter to wglte an OK

He waited, and waited for an an

An Irishsnan who Got million Doiiass
and Know What 20 Ne with II.
"The story Of Monte cristo is general
ly regarded as highly improbable piece
OF felton," said Montana man yester-
day, "but have in mind case of q
miner in our state who comes very near
furnishing o parallel character. About
ten years ago had In my employ an
Irishman, clever but totally unedu-
Gated fellow, who did odd jobs about my
place in Helena. You remember what
O feverish state that country was in
about that time over the rich finds in
gold in the country adjacent. My Irish
man caught the fever, and one day as
tonished me by asking me to loan him
5000, with which he wanted to buy q
prospector's outfit. Well, the fellow
begged so hard and money was so easy
anyhow thatI let him haveit. He bought
him mule and some tools and lit out
for the mountains alone.
SIN about month he came back to
Helena with that mule fairly stagger-
ing under load of the richest Of ore.
He hired three men, bought three more
mules, went back to the hills and struck
town shortly afterward with four more
mules loaded as the first one had been.
A representative Of an English syndi-
cate happened to be in Helena about
this time on the lookout for mining in
vestments. He saw the Irishman's little
pack train, took a sample of the ore, had
it assayed, went out and examined the
claim and then made the Irishman a
proposition that mighty nearly scared
him to death. / was sitting in my
Office at the time, when in burst Mike in
a state of terrible excitement.
"'What do you think, sor, I'm offered
for me claim he gasped. One million
dollars and twinty-foive per cent. of the
net profits.
"Of course / told him to sell, which
he did. Iproved good investment fol-
taken millions Of dollars out Of the
mine.
"But now comes my point. Instead
of committing the usual follies that pooi
men indulge in when they become sud
denly very rich, Mike set about to ge;
the highest benefits of his wealth. Thert
lived in Helena an English lady, widow
of an English officer, who was possessed
of high degree of culture and refine
ment, though in very needy circum
stances. Well, sir, the first thing Mike
did was to go to this lady and bargain
for an education. He placed himself
absolutely under her dictation; lived il
the same house, and she taught him how
to hold knife and fork and how to entel
and leave room. Then followed thu
rudiments of literary education and I
year or so of travel. ..-..
