Explaining why.

The Custer County Fair having been
suggested by the Miles City Chamber of
Commerce the preliminary expenses will
of course have To be borne by that body.
and as the treasury Of the Chamber is
not at present carrying any surplus, it
follows that a small collection will have
TO be made Of the members. No dues
have been collected for several months
past, for the reason that there were no
current expenses. and consequently no
need Of taking money that be otherwise
useful in these close times, but now the
Chamber needs few dollars for postage
and other incldentals, and a portion Of
the accumulated dues will be asked for
Secretary Collins will make the collec-
tion, and this explanation is made so
that his task may be easier.

D!ZZ!ED BY SUCCESS.
LudicrOus Antics OF . Great Man Upon q
London Street.

EIolOO'l it'TSct.
James Hinton, the celebrated aurist
and essayist, was one OF those men who
are absolutely oblivion to the impress
sion m.i'!e upon the world by their own
eccentricities Of demeanor. He was an
odd little man. AS some one once said
of him: There never lived a man
with q whittier soul, q warmer heart or
q shrillcr voice" lie wrote q boot, that
set the world talking and also lcaped
at once into q fine medical practice.
One day J. c. JeafiresOn was walking
along /. London street, when he heard
his own name uttered in high treble
He says:
Turning quickly round, l saw a
little. fragile man dancing about the
pavement in high excitement, to the
considerable Inconvenience of way
farers. 1t was James Hinton. Jump
ing up to Ine, he shook my hand, with
cOnvulsive tugs, as he CALCULATED:
Ct" L am SO very glad, SO inexpressibly
glad to see you. l have so often wished
co sec you and tell you all that has hap
pened!
Having, by this time, shaken my
hand with more than sufficient cor
diality, he stepped back few PAGES
and, in doing SO, blundered against a
stout lady, and knocked small boy
down into the gutter. After viewing
me in the right perspective, he danced
up to me again. and then danced before
me, calculating in the highest notes OF
his shrill voice:
81 am so delighted to see you! There
is SO much for us to talk about! Sc
many things have happened that
want to tell you about! DO you know,
l am a successful man, very success.
full man? I became success all in a
minute. Isn't it ludicrous? You never
expected me TO be a successful man.
No one thought it in the least degree
possible that I should be success. Nc
one! no one! no one! See! that's my
carriage! Those are my horses! Is il
not absurd? Do. my dear fellow, say
it is absurd that should drive about
London in my own carriage'
Having thus, in complete innocence
entertained a London crowd by his an
tics, he stepped into the wonderful car
riage and drove away, beaming."

To Re Called Elijah.

Children have been admirably drilled
in Bible detail. They know more
about it than three-fourths of their
Sunday school teachers. They have
learned the story OF Moses till they
can say it as pat as the nnui; ipliaation
table. But do not find any living ~
terest in Moses. There is oue o. the
grandest life stories in history, aad
they seem to have no feeling
about it. And that need not be SO.
l remember one of my Sunday school
teachers in Chicago telling la bow
troubled she had been because she was
afraid she was not making the :,.pl.;cs
of the prophets interesting TO her ooys
But one day she was comforted, for she
heard from the mother of one o. them
that the lad had come homo the Sunday
before, and, after sitting s;tent
awhile, suddenly burst out at tao d;.i-
ner table: well. 1 do thin: Elijah
was a fine fellow; and. if ever have u
kid of my own, I mean to call Lila

The Terrible Exp ,ric'ce OF a Woman o.
al Island - 1le Pacific
There is womal in san Franc;aoc
who recently lost q nights s!..,.
through reading how citizens OF -!n,-
terey captured an octopus there. Yi:e
incident recalled an experience she had
while in the South Pacific yt.2rs 81.
and for that night she never closed i:,7.
eyes in sleep. Her husband was si,pcr-
intendcnt OF a gang of laborcrs who
were working guanO beds, and his wife
and child were with him One dav tho
woman was walking along the beach
when she saw in q pool q 1,artic,,lar,1
beautiful shell. Barring her arm she
reached down into the water for the
prize when suddenly there was q splash
and two snaile-likc objects entwined
themselves around the limb submerged
ID the water. It was q devil-GSh. and
IN moment the pressure on er arm
was such as to cause her terrible pain.
Struggle as she might she was unable
10 re!eca2 Aeraelf, and finding that all
her efforts il that direction were in
vain, she toll her little bow to r,l,,
nome Tor help. The child sped away,
but by this time tho mother began to
feel her strength falling she also
realized with horror that the tide was
rapidly rising. Wave after wave
dashed over her body, which had by
TINS time been scizad by all the arms
or the octopus. Fortunate ly the NON
stcr was small one; otherwise it
would undoubtedly have dragged her
INTO the water to death The water
rose higher and higher, and it was only
with the create difficulty that she
managed to breat,-e. Finally wave
bigger than any Of the others rolled
over her, and her desperate efforts to
regain her breath eft her without any
strength. Her ser ,es gave way just as
she heard shout and rush of feet.
The next moment half dozen men
had rushed into the water and seized
her unconscious fo-m. The woman
was dragged ashore, the octopus still
clinging to her arms and neck, and in
few minutes rcgained consciousness.
The octopus, which was promptly
killed, was one of the smaller kinds,
measuring only seven feet from the
| body to the end of the longest arm.

THE OLD SPITE LANE.

The Spite Haue runs along the line 'twixt
sAloon,s& farnl-shd ours.
A harrow space between each fence where
snothing grows but flowers.
The relic OF a silly feud that smoldered many
years.
That caused harsh words between the men and
reused our mothers fears;
A country quarrel long ago, a quarrel firm and
Here where lives are narrow and people Won't
forget
We .hi,.:rcn keep the quarrel not, although its
mari; is riaip.
For there between our meadows green still runs
the old Spite Lane.
Sometimes when father sits about, at peace
with all the world,
The country paper on his knee. the smoke

cn1S.
And how much nicer it would be ii nefgh6ors all

Slocrms can't beat ne!f
But he amt as hearty in 1t now as what he
used TO G:
When ',ross the line he'd shake his fist and

While oil man Siocum with his men would

But. then, those tines, think, are gone; they II
never come again
And some bright day Wen tear away the silly
old Spite Lane.
For, often in the eventide when at the pasture
bars
The cowheils tinl1le in the dusk beneath the
summer stars.
Sweet Laura Slocum steals away to meet me
once again
No angry words can then be heard across the
Old Spite Lane
OLD feuds, Old hates. old Quarrels harsh, young
hearts can eIG them thus,
The fences mark lovers lane just wide enough

The Spite Lane runs along the line 'twixt

On State street, Chicago, a few days
ago. Samuel ". Allerton, the rich
pacl.cr, lost al eight thousand five hun
drcd-dollar diamond. lie hunted high
and low. gnashed his teeth and dashed
his words with some very tall dashna-
ton.
The next day Miss Celine Seeleman
was standing on State street corner
waiting for a car. She had been on a
shopping tour and her arms were filled
with bundles. One of the packages fell
out of Miss Seeleman's hands and rolled
into the gutter.
A young man was also waiting for
car on the same corner, but he did not
offer to pick up the package. Miss
Seeleman saw the car coming and,
STOPPING, made grab" for the parcel,
which again slipped from her hands
and rolled still further along. The
young lady made another grab, and as
she did so caught sight of diamond
in the gutter. The young man looked
at the diamond till his eyes bulged,
and when he had swung himself on the
car he very likely began to debate
within himself the question: ''Does
politeness pay?"
Miss Seeleman looked over the lost
and-found lads" in the newspapers
and, sending for Mr.. Allerton. restored
his gem.
Later in the day messenger boy
handed Miss Seeleman an envelope in
which was very sweet little spring
bonnet check for two hundred dollars.
