A BACHELORS club has been or
gained in town for the purpose of
mutual benefit with a mild suggest
ion of mutual protection. 1t is i'm
possible to obtain any of the partic-
ulars as the utmost secrecy eel to
characterized its acts. So we are
not able to say whether the mem
bership is 5 or so. All the public
can say in the matter savors of
the widest speculation. They may
be taking an oath never to merry
and they may not. Probably they
mean to discuss methods to prevent
premature badness. Their midnight
orgies are said to be already going
on, where they either congratulate
themselves upon a state of single
~blessedness, or soothe their sorrows
because of the hand of relentless
fate. Just what they do maybe the
public will never know.

Trying 1t on Jennie.


A son of the soil who was as crafty as
he was free with his relatives approached

pretty fiimsy. Do you want to try it?"
he asked his wife, aplain looking woman
of evident rural antecedents.
She, having the boldness bred of igno-
rance, expressed a desire to try it, when
he again approached the window and
said.
"How many's been killed o II these ma

"Oh, they are perfectly safe. not a

She said she did.
"What's it cost. miss"
"Round trip 25 cents"
"Looks to me like a perpendicular

SAPPHIRE
Alderman Collins Has Every Reason
to Congratulate Himself.

Last spring Alderman "Pete"
Collins took up a sapphire claim
over on the river, and having in
view the results achieved by the now
famous McConville hen of Butte, he
determined to McConvilize his claim,
but instead of hens he utilized turk
eys. In order that there might be
no dispute as to the legality of the
assessment work he hired a herder
for his twenty COOLERS at 81 per
head per month, which, for five
months, would make the necessary
amount or labor expended in work.
ing out the assessment. He in
structed the herder to turn them
loose on the claim each morning,
and to round them up and corral
them each evening. AS to the feas-
ibility Of the scheme, let the results
speak for themselves. On Wednes-
day he brought in his first turk for
Thanksgiving dinner, and in the
crop he found one hundred and sew
en- sparkling gems, thirty of which
would cut to average three-quarters
of a carat each. The remainder
ranged in size from half a carat
down to the size of a pin head. Be-
sides this he also discovered a genu-
inc milk opal. He was offered $3.50
for his find by a competent Judge of
precious stones.
And yet there are people who
have doubts as to the successful
working of our sapphire Mines

Oil Cy. Blizzard: We do not
know to whom the following fragrant
bit of advice should be credited, but
it is good sound sense: "When a
man p~layfully points a pistol or a
gun at you, knock him down. Don't
stop to inquire whether it is loaded
or not. Knock him down. Don't be
particular what you knock him down
with, only see that he is thoroughly
knocked down. If "a coroner's in
quest must be held, let it be on the
other fellow-he won't be missed"
