Not Proud of His Election.

In this country when it comes to the
casting of ballots the person elected to
the position awarded by the suffrage of
the people is always extremely proud of
the result, even though he may not be
especially DESTROYS of holding Office. In
other countries, too, the recipient of the
greatest number of ballots at the polls
is apt to swell with pride over the out
come Of the voting, but there is a case
on record in Japan where the winner at
the polls was not only sorry for his sue
cess, but came through that success sub
sequently TO wish he had never been
born. This was in the village of Ava,
and the person honored, or ~dishonored,
by the majority vote was a Jap of the
name of Abb Tanihei.
1t seems that the village of Ava was
harrassed by a midnight robber whom
nobody could detect. The head Of the
| hamlet summoned the entire male pop
ulation under his charge and directed
every man to write the name Of the per-
son whom he suspected and to deposit
the paper in a box. Fifteen ballots bore
| the name of Abb Tanihei, the rest being
| blanks. The man whom everybody dis
trusted was SO much overcome with as
| constituent that he made a full confess
sion and went to prison. - Harper's

One of the good stories ex-Postmaster
General James tells is about q type
writer he once employed who was a
novice at the art, but who proved her
self equal to the emergency. Colonel
James had dictated to her a political
speech which he was about to deliver.
He referred to a certain individual and
said of him, "He knows 10 more about
politics than Nicodemus did about the
second birth"
The young woinan's notes when she
came to write them out proved to be in
complete. She was not familiar with
New Testament stories, and thus was
obliged to fall back on her wits. The
sentence as she finished it read. He
knew no more about politics than Nico-
dcmus did Of the tariff" The tariff at
that time was a favorite topic of onver
sation and a safe conclusion, the young
woma thought, in this respect.-New
York Press.

1.-TWO Worlds Should Meet.

Our world is spinning through space
at a speed of over / 900 miles per minute.
Should it come in collision with a globe
of equal size going at the same rate OF
speed, what would be the result? The
very best thinkers of the age tell us that
heat enough would be generated by the
shock to transform both of the colliding
bodies into gigantic balls of vapor many
times their present circumference.
Some have thought that in case the eel
ter Of the earth is composed of solid and
colder matter than is the generally ac-
cepted belief this might not be the case,
but after searching all the leading au-
thorities ! must admit that | cannot find
a more appropriate 'fnis" than the fol
lowing, which is from an eminent scien-
fist: Should such an unheard Of event
occur the heat generated would be sufli-
cient to melt, boil and completely vapor-
ize a mass of ice fully 700 times the bulk
of both the colliding worlds-in other
words, an ice planet $4,000 miles in di-
ameter!--St. Louis Republic.

WHAT ABOUT THE FAIR?
Information Wanted by Exhibitors Who
Wish to See 1t a Success.

Wish to See 1t a Success.
To The EDITOR OF The TRIBUNE:
Sir:-Will you kindly inform your ag-
ricultural constituency what bacame Of
the committee appointed at the March
convention to look after the fair to be
held here next fall? Isn't it about time
we have some assurance that the wishes
Of the farmers, as expressed at their last
meeting, will be carried out. ] believe
that the majority Of the members pres
ent left town fully intending to devote a
certain amount of time in preparing an
exhibit. But the continued silence of
those having the matter in charge, and
to whom we look for the encouragement
and information which will make the
fair a success is causing many to doubt
the sincerity of its Inauguration.
The writer does not share in this
skepticism, however, but thinks it only
fair that intending exhibitors should
know all the facts. The committee
should be able by this time to furnish
the press with all necessary information.
The list of awards to be offered would
make interesting reading and would do
much to stimulate interest in the fair at
this time. No one will care to devote
his time to some particular class of in
dustry with a view to exhibiting and at
forwards discover that he has been on
the wrong trail. We want to know just
what we are coming at, and incidentally
what the committee is aiming at.
That the fair will be made a credit to
northern Montana there seems to be no
doubt, and all that is required to bring
a hundred willing hands to work for its
success is the assurance OF co operation
which the committee alone can supply.

of the late VIM. H. Vanderbilt. He has
visited Great Falls on two former occa
sions, and two years ago made the tour
to Alaska. He says that he believes
Cornelius Vanderbilt and other men Of
large means will finally make a tour OF
| this kind in their own country instead
| of going abroad. When the doctor came
here with his brother four years ago
they invested extensively in Great Falls
property. They do not regret their pur-
| chase, and find that values have advanc-
ed more rapidly then they had expect
ed.
In a book written by DR.. Webb after
his Alaska trip, called California and

future prospects Of this place, and what
the writer then said proves him to be
something of a prophet as well as a man
of affairs. He declares in cold type,
speaking of Great Falls: "The town is
beautifully located, and it is safe to cay
it has more natural resources, as a town
site, than any other place in the coun,
try" The doctor says this is his opinion
still, only more 30, and he expects to
make another visit very soon.

His Solemn Oath,

A popular comedian tells a story of a
waiter at a London restaurant who was
sadly given to drink. A party Of young
men determined to reform him, and one
day they read to him an imaginary par
agraph from a paper relating a terrible
accident in which an inebriate in blow
ing ont a candle was killed by the fame
igniting the alcoholic fumes of his
breath. James pricked up his ears at
this and requested that the paragraph
might be read to him again, which was
done, to the evident horror Of the poor
man, who Immediately went in search
of a Bible.
Returning with this, he expressed a
desire to take a solemn oath upon it, be-
moaned the fact that he had been a sorry
tippler and was bringing himself to
ruin, and then swore that never again
so long as he lived would he attempt to
blow out a candle. Million.

GUY A LITTLE LESSON.
The I!arisr Gives the Young Married Man
a Tender Reminder.

n Tender Reminder.
1t was Just a little lesson, that was all,
but it went right to the spot. He stopped
a moment on his way home to look in a
florists window, and the florist, who
saw him, asked him inside to see some
thing extra fine.
"You don't buy any more flowers
now?' said the florist.

naturally, though it was brief.
And it used to be, a year ago or more,
that roses and violets and carnations
and all sorts were a great attraction to

"Yes; I had a sweetheart then" and
the man blushed and laughed.
"You used to take her a flower every
time you went to see her, didn't you?"
pursued the inquisitive, kindly old for
list.

"And they didn't cost very much as a
rule, did they?"
"Oh, no, but that didn't make any diff
ference to her. l brought them fresh and
fragrant; that was enough"
why don't you take them to her now?
Did she choose another in your stead?'
And the florists voice was sympathetic.
"Oh, no; I married her a year ago."
The florist waited a moment as if
thinking.
"And don't you love her now| he
asked cautiously, as if treading on thin
ice.
.'Of course. We are very happy. But

CONFIRM ED AT LAST,

A Compromise Effected In the Municipal
Dead-Lock-How it Was Done.
After several quiet meetings of the
mayor and council for the purpose of ar
irving at an amicable arrangement re.
specting city officials, a compromise was
effected last night which sets in motion
the wheels of the city government.
On motion of Mayor Gelsthorpe, the
council confirmed the following appoint.
ees Of the mayor:
Marshal-Robert Pontet.
City Clerk-C. II. Clark.
Sergeant of Police-John Shea.
Police Observation-Disclosures Jensen,
Robert Vaughn, A. 7. Longeway.
The ex. oilicio members of this board
are the mayor and the marshal.
Mayor Gelsthorpe announced thesen-
tire list as usual, but Mr.. Merrill for city
clerk, and MI. Robbins for city engineer
were finally rejected. The result was
that the mayor nominated MI. Clark,
and by using his right to vote broke the
deadlock as indicated above. One mem
Der held out to the bitter end, but his
stubbornness availed him nothing.
This settlement will be good news to
the taxpayers, and there is no question
that the city will be the gamer by the
selection of these men. MI. Clark is an
excellent clerk, and Mr.. Pontet will make
a strong and trustworthy marshal. AS
sergeant of police Mr.. Shea is certain to
give entire satisfaction. Nobody can
c~riticise adversely the men selected for
police commissioners. The fire depart
ment will remain as at present, and there
will be no change in tho Office of city
engineer. Now harmony should reign,
and good work is expected in every de-
! partment.

A Water Supply Under Every Barn.

Every barn should have a cistern I'M
der it, and especially if the barn have a
basement for wintering stock. With
suitable contrivances a supply Of pure
water may be provided, so that the
water is shut off automatically when
the vessel is filled to a certain height.
This is done by a wooden valve resting
on the water and buoyed up by it 30
that the water is shut off whenever it is
needed. Such cisterl., under barns have
often furnished the water promptly SO
as to save serious losses from fire.-Al-

1t Was Touched by the Kindling Words of
the Rev. Mr.. COOmbe.
To H EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE:
SIR: 1t was my privilege to listen to
the touching and eloquent memorial ser
mon of the Rev. MI. Coombe on Sun
day. Truly he has the sympathetic
touch which finds the heart Of the vet
eran. His address was aglow with the
fire of patriotism. Had the war been in
his generation he would have followed
the flag for life or death. The veteran
has learned to know that "touch Of nat
ure'' which declares a friend. He too
often feels that he is numbering the
ground among a generation that knows
not Joseph. Don't harry him if he
sometimes dreams Of the days
when "the hearts of men we're
sifted out before His judgment seat"
Mr.. Coopbe's sermon took us back to
the days of the transformation, when
men we're uplifted, glorited. In the au-
dience could be seen an illustration of
the law that such truth can only be
known by feeling it. The tears in that
audience came only from eyes that have
looked on war. 70 the veteran the past
is populous with youthful forms clad in
blue, youthful faces afiame with the
fires of holy purpose. Alas! SO many
| sleep where "the hooking birds make
music all the day" No wonder that lips
quivered and tears started from eyes
| unused to weep when the speaker en-
tered this holy place of memory.

An Unknown Man Raises a Five Dollar
Bill to Fifty Dollars.
On Saturday during the regular course
Of business at Strain Bros store a S.
bill raised to $50 was taken in by the
cashier. The bill was a regular S. silver
certificate in a rather dilapidated condi-
ton and the corners Of n end were
torn off, while the email "a" figures
around the margin we're obliterated. The
large 70" in the upper left-hand corner
was cleverly raised to $50 by the add
ton Of a cipher, as was also the other
large figure, and the word "tve" was de-
faced. The bill was subsequently paid
out by the cashier and it was not noticed
that it was a raised bill until afterward,
when the person 80 receiving it returned
it. Whether it was received directly by
the cashier from the man who passed il
for the purpose of exchanging it for
smaller currency, or whether a clerk &c
copied it in payment for some small
purchase and sent it to the cashiers desk
is difficult to say. The authorities ar,
rested a man on suspicion, but as they
had no positive evidence against him he
was released. Marshal Treat says it be

First Wool Shipment Received.

A TRIBUNE reporter called at the wool
warehouse yesterday and saw the first
shipment of wool of the season. 1t con
s;sts of 10000 pounds. 1t arrived Tues
day, coming from Smith n Ulm of Sun
River. 1t was learned that on account
of the extreme cold weather of the last
winter in many sections of the country
the wool clip will have to be taken earlier
this year than usual, 1t seems the in
tie .se cold affected the wool SO as to stop
its growth for the time being, and that
a new growth commenced as soon as the
weather moderated. This caused a de-
narration between the old and new
growth, and the fiber breaks at this
point, so that "a great loss might be en-,
tailed upon growers of wool il it is NOT
clipped early. No prices have been
made.

THE FIRST BUTTERFLY.

Bright luttercr, with golden name,
Freckled from gentle dun to fame,
How hast thou dared to venture out
Ere the buds begin TO sprout?
When underneath the sheltering bower
Arbutus hath not shown her flower,
Creeping from the modest moss,
With her brilliant leaves of gloss;
When as yet within the brook
Leaves lie pressed as in a book,
Held within the Ice Kings arms
Claspcd about their frozen charms;
Why vert o not wise 10 wait
Till King Frost should abdicatep
Till the bluebirds pipe in tune,
Till the May looks on toward June.
Till the dandelion's yellow
Lends the lawn a radiance mellow
These few hours of sunshine warm
May prelude a fatal storm,
bringing frost or bringing snow;
Where, then. frail one, wilt thou go?
Robins forty times rs strong,
Yet We do not hear his song.
