THE BOSTON.

"1he Boston" are household words all
over Montana. There is not a farm, a
ranch, a mill or a mining camp within a
hundred miles of Great Falls where this
store is not known. Mr.. Andrew Jensen,
proprietor of the Boston established HIM
self in business in Great Falls, 1888.
Commencing business with one of the
largest stocks of clothing and mems
furnishings that had up to that time been
brought to the city, the Boston took a
leading place from the start and has
since become known as the great one
price clothing house Of the city.
The stock now carried, valued at S75,-
900, is n of the largest in the state, and
it is not too much to add, one Of the best
selected. Mr.. Jensen possesses an ad-
vantage over most merchants in buying.
Born in St. Paul, Mimi, his experience
as a clerk commenced in his boyhood.
When scarcely arrived at mans estate
he went to Chicago in the employ Of a
wholesale clothing house for which he
travelled a number of years, taking in
Montana in his northwestern route. In
this way he not only learned to Judge Of
the quality of goods at a glance, but
what is Of quite as much importance, to
buy in the best market and at the lowest
possible price. 1t is a good axiom that
goods well bought are half sold" and
the phenomenal success of the Boston is
added proof of its truth. All goods pur.
chased for the Boston, are bought direct
from the manufacturers. The ample
capital of Mr.. Jensen enabling him to
take advantage of all discounts, he can,
and does, make his prices lower than
other houses not possessing such advan-
tagcS, and still make a profit.
The salesroom occupied by the Boston
is ono Of the largest and best lighted in
Great Falls, it being 5oxOo feet. The
Boston has a prosperous branch store 1t
Sand Coulcc, where a $4,000 stock Is
carried. There are ten people on the
pay roll OF the two stores, and it ma be
doubted If there is another mercantile
house in Montana whose employees are
more widely or iavorabiy known. MIR.
Andrew Jensen is well known and highly
esteemed, not alone for his exceptional
business ability and social qualities, but
as well for his liberal policy toward his
employees. He always employs the best
help he can get in every department of
his immense business, and at the highest
price paid for like services by others.
Having himself been al cmploye he
knows that respectful and manly treat
ment is appreciated and that reward of
merit insures the best services. 1t has
been said that no cmploye ever asked
Mr.. Jensen for an advance in wages, but
that many have been surprised by an adj
vance when little expecting one. Mr..
Jensen has been six years in Montana
and is too well known to the people to
need eulogy at our hands. His success
as a leading merchant of Great Falls is
second only to the esteem in which he is
held as a valued and respected citizen.

The Artesiau Well .

lTloCIo SdpItdAl
The time has come when every citi-
zen of Pierre may make all the wild
statements he pleases about the won
derful features Of the artesian we'll, and
even then he cannot do the matter JUS
tice. In many ways it is the most
wonderful we'll in the world. 1t is the
only we'll whose water will apparently
burn. Prof. Wright Of Waterville,
New York, has been examining the well
for several days and at every step has
been surprised. He has found that
78O gallons Of water flow per minute
from it, that 1000 cubic feet Of gas
escape daily and that the temperature
is 100 degrees. The analysis Of the
water as made by Prof. Sheppard OF
the agricultural college, show it to con.
tain wonderful medical properties
That it has cured several cases of rheu.

descriptions have improved while tax

under a bushel any longer. The worlG
should know of this well and of the
great benefits it can give the sick.

What London is to the world New
York city or Wall Street is to this ma
ton. Its our largest export and i'm
port city; the largest dealer in stocks
and bonds; the greatest commercial
center, and the clearing house of the
nation and though time may change
the location it's counterpart will re-
main. There one may buy or sell at
moments notice anything haylng
quotable prices, and the business is
Just as honorable and beneficial as any
other. It's necessity born of the
needs of commerce and will hold forth
somewhere the same as q county seat
or town hall or school house center.
The monster business OF Wall Street
necessarily requires an immense ag-
gregation of capital to do it's work and
hence the men having such capital con-
gregate there, but they have no greater
per cent. of influence or control of the
money of the country than any other
number of men having an equal
amount of capital, wherever located.
Whatever the kind or quality of the
money used Wall Street will have its
share of, and control of, and no more.
The inventiveness of the Weaver
Loucks crowd cannot produce money
of which Wall Street cannot control Its
share as easy as now, and any finan.

It IS noticeable that Democratic
Congressman, particularly those who
are prominent enough to be classed as
leaders are modifying their talk about
the nature Of the tariff bill to be pass
ed by Congress. They say that the
revenues of the country will not justify
as great reduction as was at first con-
templated. But this is only to give a
plausible excuse for their change of
position toward the tariff.

The farm as much as the library is
George Vanderbilt's hobby just now.
He has found health in experimenting
it and he will be strange member OF
the Vanderbilts if he does not make
the farm in the end pay for itself
despite the heavy outlay upon it.
6ut George Vanderbilt does not de-
vote all of his large income on those
things that appeal most to his own in
clinations and tastes. He is, like all of
the Vanderbilts, large giver to chart
ties that are deserving. Like all of his
family he gives with discrimination,
and is not of the sort TO scatter money
without knowing the purpose to which
it is TO be applied. But he is no mig
gard. When the project of a new
building for the New York college for
teachers was to the fore, he gave lots
for the purpose near the new site of
Columbian college worth a small for
tune at the time and sure to be worth
much more. This is but one of many
similar acts. Usually. however. the

try home and where he entertains the
members of the Vanderbilt family, and
perhaps a few personal friends. He is
a great object of interest to the pretty
young unmarried women and the
matchmaking mammals who congre
gate with matrimonial malice in their
hearts at this gay resort One day
/ Dame Rumor has it that he is going to
marry, and another lay Miss Grundy
just as assiduously denies the report.
And so it goes. While the young man
| is getting older, his fortune is increas-
| ing rapidly, and the manageable
daughters and the matchmaking
mammas become distracted.
Young Vanderbilt has many fads.
First of all, he is book worm, and in
! way woman hater. He seems to have
great regard for women in the aggre-
gate, but a great deal of love for his
mother in particular. He spends much
of his time in her society, and it may be
truthfully said that the pair are on the
most affectionate terms. He is essen
tally "a mothers boy" he is the only
unmarried grandson of old Commodore
Vanderbilt.
Formerly he was rated as being next
to John Jacob Astor, the wealthiest
young bachelor in the United States,
having a million dollars in his own
right and control for every past year of
his life. Now as John Jacob Astor is a
husband and a father, George Wander
bilt stands at the head of his class
alone.
In the society columns and once in
awhile too in the general news and po-
lice reports of the New Y ork newspapers
you can read much Of other young
men of wealth, but there is hardly ever
any mention made of this scion of the
house of Vanderbilt.
An amusing instance of6ow little he
is known occurred but short time
ago, not far from that part of the town
where the splendid Vanderbilt mansion
stands. It was in the shop of book
seller who makes speciality of buying
and selling rare and curious books. On
this occasion there were half dozen
book worms examining the shelves,
while young salesman looked out at
the passing show. He saw young
man come in, but paid no attention to
him. 1t is the fashion for men to come
and go in such shops for hours without
purchasing.
This young man was somewhat above
the medium height, but not robust.
His face was pale, his eyes and hair
were dark, and he looked not over
strong. He was plainly dressed in a
fairly-well fitting business suit, and
looking at him casually you might put
him down as well-paid clerk or a
business man in average circumstances.
The newcomer pulled book after
book down from the shelves until final

CURE OF all this spread OF scenery is
worthy of its surroundings. Of gran
lite and marble mined from the noun
tains near which the building stands,
its appearance as seen through the
towering trees that surround it is i'm
pressive. 1t is not long and low and
rambling as most southern dwellings
are. Instead, it rises to the height of
four stories, not counting the lower
floor where domestic work is done, or
the story next to the roof. But it is
broad and long, and impressive. Mr..
Vanderbilt was largely his own archi-
tect, and the result would indicate
that he is not a bad one. He has been
courageous enough to borrow literally
from others, but mainly from Switzer-
land, for the house as seen from a dis
lance resembles an Alpine chateau.
The massive mountains near by add to
this impression. The house is as yet
in an unfinished condition, but
work on its interior has gone
sufficiently far to enable one to
see that it will be magnifi-
