A Trying Ordeal For a Pianist.

Not long ago l was in a room in
which there was an eminent pianist.
He played as, SO far as l know, he
alone can play one of Chopin's mas
terpieces-dowering his finger tips
with the eloquence of many voices.
Directly he had finished, the lady of
the house went sailing up to him.
THANK you so muchl You should
hear my little girl do SO want you
to tell me what you think of her.
For SO small a child-not yet learned
music two years-we think she's
wonderful"
Before the astonished virtuoso,
whose knowledge of English is not
profound, could get a word in edge
ways there was a small child about
9 years of age planted on the music
stool with "Ye Banks and Braes,
with variations. opened out in front
of her.
In self sufficient little nonenity,
who had mot yet learned music two
years." and who naturally had no
music in her, the performance was
excusable, and it would be too much
to say that sudden death would have
been its only adequate reward-but
in the presence of that famed musi-
cianl / do not know what he suf.
fered. / know what we felt.-All
the Year Round.

Powers Good Work.

Mr.. James Shields of Missoula, re-
turned from Washington a few days
ago and said to a reporter of the Mis-
soulian: Senator Power is one of the
stanchest and most active silver men
in Washington. During the crisis he
was up day and night in the thickest
of the battle. He has treated every
body courteously, he has never fall
tered in his duty and has made many
friends and done much good for Mon
tana. l simply wish to add my testi-
mony as to the value of his public
services. He is one of the hardest
workers in Washington and he is al
ways ready to give information and
make things pleasant for Montana
men. have been in Washington for
two months and though am a Demo
crat, / cannot withhold from Senator
Power the praise he deserves for his
devotion to the interests of the peo-
pie of Montana and his splendid and
effective work on their behalf when
ever opportunity offers"

parties at different times whether rep
resentatives of the queen or oppo-
nents, my answer was always the
same-that force should not land
until danger was plainly immi-
nent, and then only to protect Ameri-
can life and property, and to no one
did 1 ever hint that l could or would
recognize any but the de facto govern
ment, whether monarchial or republi-
can. The best answer to the baseless
charge that | promised to use force
against the queen is the order of Capt.
Wiltz to his officers and men to RE-
main passive and that no force was
to be used"
Stevens devotes considerable space
to showing the disreputable character
of persons furnishing affidavits to
Blount, being especially severe on J Ohm
f. Colbourne, A. F. Peterson, Charles
l.. Hopkins and DIR. Frosseau. He
says the testimony of hundreds such
would not counterbalance the words
of Minister Tburston, President Dole
and Henry Waterhouse among honest
men who know the respective parties.
GAS co Wilson, the queens tavorlte
for many years, whom Blount at
tempts to whitewash, l will not soil
these pages by giving even notorious
facts in his regard"
Gas to my recognition of the pro-
visional government, ] reaffirm what
said in my recent letter to Secretary
Gresham, that Queen Liliuokalani
inaugurated revolution by herself
attempting to destroy the constitu-
tion by revolutionary means. From
Saturday, January 4th, to January
10th, there was no government in
Honolulu except in the united and
self-possessed attitude of citizens who
assembled in great mass meeting Jan.
10th and consummated their efforts
for law and order by establishing the
provisional government on the 18th,
which was promptly acknowledged by
all foreign representatives who were
familiar with the circumstances OF it's
creation. 1t was nearly fifty hours
after Liliuokalani and her favorites
had destroyed her throne by a revo-
lutionary outbreak when the men OF
the Boston landed"

NOT A GOOD MARKET.
Dakota and Minnesota Overstocked With
Horses.

Advices from North Dakota state
that that state is full of horses from
the Dakota and Montana ranges,
many OF the animals being offered for
sale as low as $40 to Sl5 per head.
In South Dakota the same state of
affairs prevails, and it is estimated
that over 1000 Montana horses have
passed through that state during the
present year. One young man from
the vicinity of Fort Benton, who took
a bunch of horses to North Dakota
and Minnesota about a year ago,
managed finally to get rid OF the ami
mails, but he has a lot "of promises to
pay" to show for his herd. In fact,
there is no market for horses west of
the Mississippi, and east OF that point
it is impossible for Montana raisers
to compete because of the high freight
rates icurred.-Helena Herald.

THE CARLIN PARTY.
Thrilling Story of the Terrible Experiences
in the Mountains.

KENDRIcK, Idaho, Dec. 1.-The lost
Carlin Party, consisting of w. f. Car
lin, son of Gen. Carlin; J. W. Pierce,
his brother-in-law; A. l.. Himmel,
wright, secretary OF the Columbia
Granite company, OF New York city;
Martin Spencer, guide, and George
Colgate, cook in charge of Lieut.. Eli
oft, OF the relief expedition sent out
from Vancouver barracks. arrived
here. Himmelwright says the party
htted out for a hunting trip at Spo-
kane, proceeded to this point by train,
and with ten cayuses and five weeks
provisions, left here Sept. Is. The
party reached Clearwater river on the
26th. They had good success hunting
and, on October 10, started on the
return over the Lo Lo trail Reach
ing the top OF the ridge parallel to
Clearwater two and one-haf feet OF
snow was found. The guide estimated
that the snow would be four feet deep
on the higher portions of the Lo Lo
trail and should the horses become
exhausted from lack of food the party
would have to walk to Musselshell
creek.
As the cook was sick and unable to
work it was decided to return to the
old camp on Clearwater and build
RATS and attempt to float down the
river to the south fork, near which
there were several ranches Fifteen
days were consumed in constructing
the RATS and several days more in the
further inspection of the Lo Lo trail,
which proved impossible.
The cook, meantime, grew feebler
day by day. The party engaged a
trapper, Ben Keeler, who had a cabin
near by, and with his provisions
added to theirs the party began the
trip down the river Nov 3, leaving the
cayuses and most of the outfit behind
Progress was very slow, and on the
18th only twenty-five miles had been
covered. To add to their difficulties
it was found that the river below was
rocky and swift, rendering further
progress impossible.
| Therefore it was decided to abandon
the RATS and proceed the rest OF the
way, thirty miles, on foot. The cook,
at that time was unconscious, morti-
fication having set in in his legs below
the knees Only eight days provis-
ions were left, and as the cook could
only live q few days at most he was
made as comfortable as possible, and
the rest OF the party began the jour
ney on foot The route was of the
roughest description imaginable, full
OF slippery rocks deep canyons and
ragged precipices, and progress was
extremely slow. The supply of flour
was exhausted on the eighth day.
After having subsisted two days on
tea, three fish and few berries, Nov.
%, when still five miles from the near
est ranch, the party fell in with Lieut.
Elliott, who at once made camp and
fed the hungry men. AS soon as they
were able to travel they were hurried
onward by boats and wagon, reaching
here yesterday, and were met by Gen.
Carlin. The party went to Spokane

rroub,ed with a Composite Vision.

There is something peculiar about
my eyes or the way see objects
that causes me a great deal of an
noyance," said a gentleman yester-
day. Il seem to see in a composite
manner-that is, the effect is like a
composite photograph. When I am
going along the street. my eyes will
perhaps receive the image of one
man passing, and the next man /
meet his image combines with the
one I had previously seen and forms
what / take to be the image of a
friend. 1t occurs in this way, as far
as can reason: I pass a man hav-
ing a mustache, and the next person
I meet perhaps has nothing but a
goatee. In this last man ! do not
see the man as he is, but l see a
man with q mustache and goatee,

Purifying Water at Home.

If there is any question as to the
purity of water, none of it should be
used for drinking or cooking purposes
unless it is first boiled. There are
several other methods of purifying
water, but boiling is the safest of all
When water is tainted by decaying
vegetable matter, several methods are
used to purify it. 1t may be boiled
or filtered through charcoal or oak
chips, or little alum may be added.
The addition of the astringent wood
or the alum causes the albuminous
matter in the water to coagulate and
fall to the bottom, and the purified
water can be poured off.-Ladies'
Home journal.

THE WIDDER MULlET.
Bill Swilvey Was In No Mood to Subscribs
For n New Meeting House,

Bill Swilvey Was In No Mood to Subscribe
For q New Meeting House.
The man who stood at the shackley
gate of a hewed log house ON the
banks of the Cumberland river,
where the great pine mountains
come down to drink. was the typical
mountaineer, saffron hued, scrawny,
ill fed and roughly clad, but with it
all that innocent ignorance which
bunko men delight in when they are
looking for victim.
"Good morning" 1 said as pulled
up my horse.
How d'y," he replied.
I'm looking for Bill Swilvey," i
remarked as a feeler.
You hain't got no furder to look,
stranger" he said with grin: ''Im
him."
''Jake Parrish sent me up here to
see if couldn't get you to subscribe
something toward the new meeting
house at the mill"
''Good lordy, stranger" he ex-
claimed, I'D like the best in the
world ter, but 1 hain't got a hooter."
why, Jake said you owned this
farm and were well off"
"Jake's foolin yer" he laughed. Il

Widder Mullet an come here ter live.
"Who was Mrs. Mullet2"
''She owned this place"
"Well, you're in luck, I laughed.
This place is worth something"
That's what / thought when !
hitched up with the widder," he said
In disappointed tone.
'And isn't it2" queried-
''It would be eff it wuz free from
encumberances.
''Oh, it's encountered, is itl"
"Yes."

'tNo."
"What kind of an encumbrance is
on ita" inquired with deal of Curl
osity.

sighed, as the lady appeared at the
front door and in a shrill voice
wanted to know of Mr.. Swilvey if
that was a sewing machine agent

Sans Liking For His Playmate.

Eight-year-old Sam spent a winter
in Florida and was there limited to
two little girls for playmates-the
only children in the vicinity. Both
were charming little maidens-one a
plump, heavy little blond damsel,
and the other a slim, thin, witchy
little dark eyed elf. .rH
1t was soon apparent to the young
mans mother that he exhibited de-
cided partiality for Ethel, the stout
little playmate, always giving her
the largest piece of cake. the lions
share of the caramels and the prefer
ence in all matters of play. So the
mother remarked one day, with wise
desire to equalize her sons atten-
