THE FELLOWS MOTHER.

fhe knows It all, as some chaps do,
And thinks he's smart, and says 50, too,
Who holds the same erroneous viewf
The fellows mother.
Ifhe's narrow-chested, weak at knees,
And soft Of muscle, tell US please,
Who thinks he's a modern Herculest
The fellows mother.
II, in the eyes of woman dear,
He fondly thinks he has no peer,
Who entertains the same idea2
The fellows mother.
If the life he leads Is fast and gay,
And II weak his morals, tell us, pray,
Who's last to think he's not o K2
The fellows mother.
II, perchance, a time comes when
He's sick and friendless, tell us men,
Who hurries to his bedside them

II, later on, he should be found
Watering with tears grassy mound,
Who'll slumber there in the quiet groundf

Goatsklus or seaIskins.

1t is said that sealskins are going
ont of fashion, and perhaps the United
States are going to a great deal of
unnecessary trouble and expense in
guarding the preserves of the seslskin
monopoly in Bering Sea. Certain it is
that last winter a great many of the
fashionables of Europe, who formerly
never appeared out of doors in cool
weather unless arrayed in sealskins,
appeared in other furs, notably the
skins of the thibetan goat, which is
a very handsome fur. 1t is limited
that the parsimony of the North Amer
lean Commercial Company is largely
to blame for this fact. While the
Alaska Commercial Company con.
trolled the output of Bering Sea, it
was accustomed, it is said, to make its
wares popular by making sure that
the royalties of Europe, the opera
queens and other people, who set the
fashions, had sealsIin sacques and
oyercoats of the finest skins aud latest
cut, and all for nothing The past
year, under the present management,
the free list was entirely suspended,
and it is assorted that not a single
complimentary jacket was received at
the Court of ST. James. Ladies of
fashion waited IN vain for their Gus
tomary tip, and in revenge for the
neglect proceeded to array themselves
in goat and other furs. 1t seems rath-
er hard to have to give expensive furs
to the people who are best able tOpay
for them. But it is the way, the
world over. Those best able to pay are
the ones that do not have to.--New
Orleans Pieaynne.

It is not only in Japan that incom.
petent doctors are punished for pro-
fessional failure resulting in the loss
of life of their patients, but in Russia
also, where physicians are held SINH
larly responsible. A welI-known medi
cal practitioner at'St. Petersburg has
just been sentenced to seven days i'm
prisonment, to fine of 1000 rubles
and to the payment of an annuity Of
400 rubles to lady who was injured
by his unskilful treatment Russia is
already lamentably deficient as far as
the number of It's medical men is con-
cerned, and this somewhat drastic
punishment is scarcely of character

fession.

Professor Richard L. Garner is GER
tainly an enthusiast in his investiga-
tion of the language of the simians.
Speaking of his recent visit to Africa,
he said: "The world at large expects
too much. People seem to insist upon
it as their right that should go to the
gorilla country, spend few months
there, and return with complete
dictionary to the gorilla language.
Why, if I were sure of learning
eventhree words year, 1 would
forsake friends and family, go to
Africa and devote the rest of my life to
a study that yielded such rich results
in the present aud promised such i'm.
mense possibilities for the future"

Captain Moore, of the sailing ship
Mary Gibbs, tells suggestive story of
his last voyage. He was from Boston
to the gold coast of Africa, and his
cargo consisted of New England rum.
Oddly enough, he also took out as pas
sengers twc~komen missionaries, who
had been sent out to exert q eivilizing
and Christianizing influence on these
benigted people. The brigantine
stopped at thirteen ports to unload the
cargo of rum, which was received with
wild enthusiasm by the natives, while
nobody seemed to want the mission
aries. The latter seemed discouraged,
but nevertheless went stoutly 10 work
TO counteract the effects of the rum.
Before he could tell what success they
we're having the Gibbs sailed for

According to the Glasgow (Scotland)
News it appears that the latest statis-

Health Department give to Berlin the
honor of being the healthiest city in
the world. The death-rate is given as
only 1863 per 1000. The unhealthiest
city is Alexandria, which, despite its
unvarying fine weather, its 800 foun-
tains and its soft sea breezes, has a
death-rate of no less than 52.9 per

The Secretary of the Interior has
given up the experiments which the
Government has been making for sons
years past to indloe rain over arid
tracts. The railroad companies opera
ting in New Mexico and Arizona will,
however, continue experiments along
this line. Getting blood out of a
turnip would not be difficult opera
tion if the plebian vegetable contained
blood, and so artificial methods might
precipitate moisture in the form OF
rain if there were any in the stmos-
phere, but there are places where the
air is as moistureless as live fish in a
lime basket, and neither powder nor
dynamite can shake out of it what il
does not hold.

But the original proprietor OF the com
pany was one of class Of men to
whom many wealthy man OF to-day
owes his sudden rise to riches and
affiuence. He had energy and perse-
verance and unbounded faith in the
possibilities of his claim, and kept
working away long after his fellow
stockholders, having wasted their
money, had given up in disgust
At last the labor of years had been
rewarded, and he had struck vein of
ore so rich in quality and capacity
that the stock which had long been
valueless leaped at once to par and
began steady climbing. The papers
we're filed with accounts of the rich
find, and the Stock Exchange was
crowded with eager, excited men,
anxious to buy the long. neglected
stocks. Daily we eagerly scanned the
reports and noted the rapid rise of
Tuolumne Mining Company's stock
At last when it paused and stood still
at seventy five above par we sold and
found ourselves each seventy five
thousand dollars richer than we had
been one month before. Bob seemed
but little elated by his sudden rise to
wealth and only thought of the happi-
ness it would bring to those whom he
loved. The modest little cottage which
he had rented was given up and
handsome mansion purchased and
fitted up with the utmost care. Then
he wrote for his mother and sister to
join him. A month later they came,
and no happier group could have been
found in all the West than the four
who sat down together on the night of
their arrival.
Many years have flown since the
''Tuolumne Mining Company" made
its president and stockholders rich in
a single day. Loving care and most
skillful medical aid could not win
back the health of the good old moth
er and she long since passed to her
home above. Robert Harris is a man
we'll known in the business circles of
Sacramento. His hair is now gray,
and pretty, bright-eyed children
climb upon his knee and call him
papa" The friendship began in
Lone Horse Gulch so many years ago
has not diminished, bnt has grown
stronger with the fight of years; for
the lady who sits opposite to me
while write and whom l call wife,
is "Monte Bob's" sister.

A BOLD ATTEMPT At MURDER
Thomas Winters Found Insensible
Near the Railroad Bridge by
Officer Hamilton.
No Clew TO the Perpetrators Has Been
FOund-The Victim Still Only
Half Conscious.

About 8 o'clock Friday morning
Policeman Hamilton found a man lying
unconscious on the river bank near the
east end Of the railroad bridge. The
man had a terrible wound on the left
SHE Of his head and near his body was a
coupling pin, covered with blood. His
pockets were turned inside out and his
clothes were in a disordered condition.
I. was evident that he had been struck
down by the coupling-pi and then
robbed. Hamilton reused him and with
considerable trouble got him to the city
Jail. When they arrived there he re-
tanned his senses enough to give his
name as Thomas Winters. Outside Of
this he was not conscious enough to give
any further information.
DR.. Gelsthorpe was called and dressed
the wound, which is considered a bad
one, and most probably the skull is
fractured.
Winters is dressed as a workingman,
and his hands and face are tanned.
He is registered at the Minneapolis
house on Thursday as Thomas Winters
Of Pondera, and it is probable he hes
been a sheep-shearer at that point.
The unfortunate man was removed to
the county hospital and at the latest re-
port last night there was no change in
his condition.

Scrgt. shea Caught Two Men Burglarizing
the Passenger Depot.
There seems to be a gang Of thugs and
robbers in this city and from present in
dications they are about to be unearthed.
Thursday night Sergt. Shea in his
rounds went down to the Union depot
about 10 O'Clock and came upon two men
in the act of opening one Of the windows
in the ticket office.
Sergt. Shea capturned them and
started for the station, but in the dark
uess one Of them escaped. The other
is behind the bars and gives his name
az John j. Dalton, from the coast.
After this episode Sergt. Shea and
Detective Germ examined that locality
thoroughly to find the other man that
had escaped, butt was Of no avail. Sergt.
Shea afterwards locked up one man ne
had found at the narrow guage depot
who gave his name as Foweree, and
whose manner were suspicious.
1t is now known as a fact that there is
a gang working this town, and though
the police department are now working
with a force which in any other city Of
the same size would be quadrupled in
number, the energy and success Of their
endeavors are deserving Of the highest
praise by the community at large.

country tributary to the town has kept
pace with the growth and enlargement
Of the market afforded by the city of
Great Falls-which, though less than
ten years of age, through the public
spirit and sterling enterprise of her citi-
zens, added to the great natural re.
sources which nature has 80 beautifully
provided her with, has developed into
the prominent commercial metropolis
which excites the pride Of the people of
Montana as we'll as the wonderment of

PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY.

Timely Suggestions In View of the APP
proach of the Glorious Fourth.
The various insurance agents in the
city are in receipt Of a circular letter
from the Pacific Insurance union, at San
Francisco, containing the following sim
pie precautions as a protection against
fire, in view practically Of the hear ap-
proach OF the Fourth of July with its
attendant contlagration hazard:
"If you have private fire apparatus, see
that the hose, fire pals and extinguishers
are in serviceable condition. II you have
none, this is an excellent time to SO pro-
tect your property.
If you have a small hose, attach it in
the most available place. Many kinds
OF business require the use of pals,
tanks and barrels, while stores, stables
and dwellings all have pals in use. Fill
these with water and dispose them adj
vantageously during this dangerous
time.
IF you have gratings in the sidewalk
over basement openings, or have outside
basement doors, remove all rubbish and,
if possible, close them over temporarily
to keep out fireworks.
"Wet down wooden sidewalks and
planked areas, also under open sidewalk
grating, and use water enough to run
through the cracks 30 as to wet the
chips, paper, ETC., underneath.
"ttemove all packing boxes, goods in
cases and rubbish from sidewalks, areas
and roofs. II any boxes are necessarily
left outside, pile them snugly and see
that no packing material is left ex-
posed"

He was born in Paris, in 1947. He
is the grandson Of Louis Phil
ippe's prime misister QS31). During
the Franco-P russian war he entered the
volunteer force Of the department Of the
Aube, and was called to Paris with his
battalion, where his conduct during the
siege caused him to be named in the or
der Of the day and decorated with the
cross of the Legion of Honor.
He was elected to the chamber Of dep
uties in 1877 and became a member of
the left center and of the republican left
When the cabinet Of 1877 was formed
he was called to the post Of under secre-
tary Of state in the department of public
instruction, retaining this position until
1879, Four years later he was reelected
to the chamber and the same year was
appointed under secretary Of state in the
ministry Of war, where he remained until
1885.
In 1890 he was elected vice president
Of the chamber and president of the
budget committee. Upon the reassem-
bling OF the deputies he was elected
president Of the chamber. He was pre-
mier in President Carnot's cabinet until
a few weeks ago, when his ministry was
defeated on a vote in the deputies,
whereupon they resigned, having been

HIS ARM AND HIS LEG OFF.
Terrible Accident to a Montana Central
Brakeman ut Craig.

Terrible Accident to a Montana Central
Brakeman ut Craig.
The Helena Independent of Friday
morning says that I. j. Keane, a brake
mar employed on the Montana Central,
was RIM over last night at Craig by the
engine of a freight train on which he
was making a run, and so seriously in
jured that he died after being brought
to Helena. Keane was throwing switches
for the engine, which was shifting some
freight cars at the time, and it is thought
he did not hear the engine coming or for
some other reason did not get out Of the
way in time. He was struck and thrown
down and the wheels of the engine pass
ed over him. His right leg was cut off
at the hip and the right arm at the
shoulder. The trainmen found him lying
alongside the track, and binding up his
injuries as best they could brought him
to Helena, arriving here this morning
about half past one o'clock, three hours
after the accident occurred. Keane was
taken at once at st. Peters hospital. He
died about 9 o'clock this morning.
