A French cattle dealer. a phenomen-
ally stout man, had driven into Paris.
and as his horse was taken ill during his
stay, resolved to leave the animal and
return home by rail. He bought tick
ct at the Vincennes station, but all his
efforts to effect an entrance into a com
partment proved abortive. The COM
pany's employees went to his assistance,
and he was pushed and squeezed, al
most denuded of his garments. but all
to no purpose. We'll" said the cattle
dealer to tine station master, "the regu-
lations have not settled the dimensions

you must take me-" The distracted
official now Proposed that the colos-
sal passenger should made the journey y
in a baggage car. The offer was ac-
cepted, and soon afterwards the train
was speeding on its way with the cattle
dealee seated in the car, on big box
which had been covered with comfort
able cushion. Such are the commod
iousness and the ample proportions Of
American passenger cars that No such
occurrence has happened on any Of our
railways. We have seen some big peo-
pie (both socially and physically trav-
cling on the elegant fast trains Of the
Burlington Route, but no one Of them
had to take the baggage" Compart-
ment and buffet and reclining chair
cars distinguish this line. For further

LIVINGSTON. June 1G.-Gov. Richards
completed his investigation Of the Fields
case today and will return to Helena to-
morrow. He has decided that he will
not interfere in the carrying out OF the
death sentence on Friday next. The
governor says that the statement made
by Fields himself and the showing made
by his attorneys is entirely inadequate
to warrant any interference on his part.
lie visited the condemned man in his
cell this afternoon, Fields stoutly denied
being in any way connected with the
killing Of Fleming. He related the same
old story that he testified to on his trial
which was that Mortimer admitted to
him immediately after the murder that
he had killed Fleming. The governor
has made thorough inquiry Of all the
important facts in the case and appears
satisfied that no injustice has been done
Fields 1t is stated. that the showing
made TO the governor by Fields friends
was but little more than a reiteration Of
the testimony offered by the defense at
the trial.
Fields has had strong hopes Of late
that the governor would at least grant
him an extension Of time. When told
tonight that the governor refused TO do
anything in the matter he appeared
greatly depressed and denounced Morti.

waves that dashed against the ship SO
loudly, and sometimes the rough ocean
made her very i'll. But she was stout
hearted little lass, and as soon as she was
on land she was her old merry self again,
laughing from morning until night
laughing until her mother used often to
say, Marjorie, Marjorie, why arc you so
happy" because she could not understand
how her little girl could be so contented
in a strange land.
How it happened Marjorie could not
tell you even now, but the great ships that
come over the ocean and the railway trains
on land. did not bring to her mamma the
letter that was expected and for days the
poor, pretty mamma was very unhappy,
and Marjorie wondered why she sat by
the window for long hours looking for the
postman. One morning Marjorie's moth
er took the little girl in her lap and said:
marjorie, will you be very quiet this
morning SO that can draw a pretty pic
ture of little girl holding u doll? And
will you hold Beatrice carefully in your
arms until the picture is done?"
Marjorie said that she would sit still,
and for two hours that morning there
were never two better behaved little poo
pie than Marjorie and Doll Beatrice.
When the picture was done-and it took
two or three mornings to finish it-Mar-
jorie's mother went out with it in her
arms, and when she came back she brought
Marjorie some pretty things and said that
the gentleman would like another picture
and maybe ever so many more And so
day after day Marjorie sat and either
played very quietly with Beatrice or looked
straight ahead at her mother as she paint
ed the pretty golden curls upon the can
vas for pictures to be sold in big store,
for Marjorie was as pretty as she was
good, and somehow people wanted the pic
lures that her mamma painted.
One day tall man in uniform came
It was Marjorie's father, and he had ne
to take her and her mother to CAM n,
where he was guard in her majesty ac
queens service. Marjorie was so glad TO
see him that she danced for joy, while ~
trice fell upon the floor forgotten, and Mr.
jorie's mother could not speak, she was so
very happy. When Marjorie's fail or
learned how the letters had not como fro m
Canada or from grandma and aunts in
England and how anxious the little moth
CT had been, he was very sad.-New York

How They Tell Time In Nepaul.

There arc no public schools in Nepaul.
The sons of princes and noblcs-even our
young king, while he is yet only boy
are taught at home by the guru, or house
hold priest, who is supposed to be also a
pundit, or very learned man. Later the
young men Of rank are sent to Patna,
Benares OF Calcutta. where they learn to
speak English and to wear English clothes
and to tell the time of day by an English
clock, for in Nepaul time is measured by
means Of copper vessel, with small
hole in tho bottom, set afloat on a tank or
pool. Sixty times a day this kettle fills
and sinks, and every time 1t sinks gong
is struck, so that the day is divided into
60 "gongs'' or bells" as sailors reckon
time aboard ship. The poor Bhootiya
shepherds, or the New r women who make
pottery in the fields, say that the day Is
begun when they can count the tiles on
the roof Of a house, or when they can see
the hairs on the back of mans hand by
holding it up against the light.-St Mich
