ELECTRICITY IN THE WEST.
A New Town Supplied with the Fluid
by Water Power.

Great Falls must not be considered
solely the rendezvous OF cowboys and
Indians. They are but types Of earlier
conditions Of life OF this region. People
from the East seeking health and for
tune are here infusing cultivation and
increased business energy into the com
mon life OF the town, and capital has
come here TO exploit this new field The
most marked line of progress is in the
water power and electrical development.
At Black Eagle Falls, thee miles from
the center Of the town, the river Is set
10 work by a great dam and power
houses. Like playthings. the side cur
rents of the mighty river turn the pom
derous machinery Of one Of the greatest
smelters in the world on the north bank,
and on the south bank run the dynamoS
that supply light and heat and motive
power to the town. No idea can be
formed of what water-power means
until the interior Of the power house at
Black Eagle Falls Is seen, where inn
mense balance wheels are rolling, driv-
ing wheels propelled and dynamos whirl-
ing, and yet not a boiler or jet Of steam
to be seen, all moved by a concealed pipe
sof water. This abundant power is what
literally runs" this young city.
Not only are the street cars run and
lighted by electricity, but heated as well
by means Of four radiators in each car.
Elevators, printing presses, an iron
foundry and all kinds Of heavy ma
chinery are moved by this ubiquitous
force On the streets may be seen a
wire leading from a pole to a mortar
mixer with an electric wire attached.
Automatic elevators, pumps, rocl1-crush-
ers, are run by electricity. The tailor
uses it 10 heat his goose, the restaurants
cook by It, the butcher chops his sau-
sage and hamburger, and the grocer
grinds his coffee by turning on the eur
rent In the home electricity Is the great
est blessing; the women run their sewing
machines by II, heat their f1at-irons. have
electric cake ovens made Of wood that
they can set aside like paste-board
boxes. They have electric boilers and
broilers and teakettles. In this western
town this subtle modern fluid is put to
more diversified use than in many larger

ing humor flow. The stranger at the
hearth Is welcome and the household
beams with happiness and good cheer.
Let winter come with all his retinue Of
biting frosts, lowering clouds or drifts
Of snow, no trace of his gloom or sullen-
ness can damp the spirits Of the family
around the glowing hearth where the
cracking logs or beaming Goals echo
back the garnered wealth OF sunshine
stored away In their veins. and now

the smiling faces of the happy inmates
Of the home.

When Venus Pricked Her Finger ana
AutoIycus Sold Gloves.

II the science Of knowing people by
their clothes, whose claims are SO elo-
Quently urged by Balzac, ever come to
be formulated the chapter on the mean
ing Of the glove will not be the least In
teresting portion of il. There IS no ar
ticle of clothing more diversified in its
uses. Its apparent triviality disarms US,
apd we are inclined to toy with IL light
~ as one OF the most agreeable ebulli-
tons Of feminine fancy and forget that
anything more serious than adornment
ever caused its use Jean GODDARD, n
French rhymester OF the sixteenth CEN
tury, wrote poem in which he told how
Venus. running after Adonis, pricked her
finger and ordered her maidens to get
leather and make some gloves for her
10 protect her hands. But NJ. Godard's
pretty fancy must give way before stern
facts. The primary uses Of the gloves
were strictly practical and unromantic.
English danes OF early days never
dreamed of such subtleties as gloves.
They wore their sleeves long with point
Cd flaps that rested on the back OF their
hands. or. when they went forth I'm win
ter, drew the loose drapery of their outer
garment over their hands. II was not
till near the close OF the tenth century
that they thought OF gloves: then they
wore them with only a thumb and no
fingers, like the mittens OF the present
day. and they were wondrously en-
broidered and starred with Jewels. No
gloves were finer than those Of the
clergy. They were mostly OF white silk
or linen cunningly embroidered, and
sometimes fringed with pearls.
Later on gloves became magnificent
for common wear and i'm contemporary
pictures the nobility seemed 20 have car
ried them rather in their hands or in
their girdles than on their fingers.
1t was by the fine gloves his page
carried In his girdle that Occur de Lion
was betrayed on his way home from the
crusade and so fell into captivity.
But already the glove was more than
a mere bit OF foppery. The knights
mailed glove sheltered his hand IL be-
came n sign OF power. and when a gra-
cious lord meant 10 signify his intention
TO protect a town he sent his glove as a
sign OF his willingness. The glove, too.
was the token of defiance when one
knight declared war against another. and
al the same time, as II 10 mark the diff
ference between the strong right hand OF
man and the daintier hand OF woman he
bound his mistress's delicate broidered
glove TO his helmet by way OF showing
bis fealty. AS the sign and test OF love
gloves have been largely utilized.
BY the sixteenth century gloves We're
common wear together with farthin-
gales, corsets and low gowns. Gloves
were perfumed greatly. Autolycus sold
the maids gloves as sweet as damask
roses" In Charles IFS time the short
ening Of the sleeves led TO the lengthen-
ing OF gloves.

outwitted by a Moonshiner.

When Jack Roper was called in the
United States court this morning he
arose and pleaded guilty to working in
an Illicit distillery.
With a number OF others he was sent
to one side TO await sentence.
Working in an Illicit distillery is moth
ing but a misdemeanor, while operating
a distillery is equal to a felony.
Roper knew this and entered his plea
to working in the disullery, which was
accepted.
How long did you work." asked the
Judge when the man stood up for SEN
tence.
"Oh. bout week, reckon"
ssWhose distiIery was it?'
my own"
The Judge looked puzzled, but all he
could do was to give him a two months
sentence for working i'm an Illicit dis
tillery.-Atlanta Journal.

How Negroes Terrorire the whites.

Country schools for white children can
not be maintained where there is negro
population intervening. Some have al
ready been broken up and abandoned
for want of patronage-patronage that
would have been given but for the pres
ence of the negroes. The tendency every
where is for the whites to rent out their
farms and move TO the towns, where
they can safely educate their children.
All who can come do come, and now
there are left in the rural districts
none but the negroes and the poor
whites-the poor whites who work the
highways, serve on the juries and fight
our battles in war, the poor whites for
whom the negro has contempt and the
northern philanthropist no sympathy
Large sums OF money are piled up in
universities and colleges for the negro
piled up to teach him Greek and Latin
and the sciences, for which he has no
use, while hundreds OF the poor whites
cannot afford even the time that the
country school would take for work.
They know all this and feel II, and IL
ever a race war Is precipitated they will
be in IL TO the death. Poverty and the
negro overshadow them. This moment
Gus question is before the South. Seven
millions OF negroes are face to face with
10 600 900 whites. How much longer can
they live I'm harmony II IS a more
vital question than silver or gold or the
tariff, and the southern congressman
who fail to consider IL are either blind
or lacking in craftsmanship. II is the
great national question that viii not

An Unnecessary Disagreement.

AS women grow toward middle age
they are apt to allow the stomach to
assume undue prominence and thus de-
stroy the grace Of their appearance. This
Is quite unnecessary, according TO
writer in the Farm Journal, and may be
avoided by the daily practice of lifting
the chest and holding It we'll upward,
drawing in the abdomen so that a line
dropped from the chin to the ground
would hang exactly straight and not be
pushed outward This will be trouble
some and awkward at first but will
soon give a. feeling Of strength to the
chest and stomach and improve the
health and appearance. A decided i'm
proVement i'm carriage and walk might
be made by walking some each day
with a weight poised on the head, so
that only the correct carriage Of the
body keeps 1t from falling off.

The papai sblegate's supreme authority
