surely ,nanlind has sufficient 1auIrs
and failin gs of its own to answer for
without being called upon to assume the
responsibility of animal failings as well.
An American author has discovered that
domestic animals, such as cats or dogs,
are not only subject to ennui, but also
display their feelings under that infiic-
tion after very much the same fashion
as their human friends, II fact which nc
one who has kept tame animals will be
tempted to deny.
But from this fact our contemporary,
The News, leaps to perfectly unwar.
rantable conclusion and boldly asserts
that ours is the fault, that mankind has
inoculated the beast creation with its
own particular disease and that it is
civilization (Which produces ennu, not
only in men, women and children, but
even in cats and dogs" ''We may well
blush" it continues, "when we think
how man has demoralized the dog. We
have taught the dog to be bored We
have corrupted him by our society,"
And again, "Ennui is one of mans many
inventions, but he has taught the un.
profitable vice to the domestic or at least
to the household animals--pupils only
too apt in evil"
Was ever so monstrous a charge lev
eled against our innocence! The next

cause that dogs do bark and bite and
that whatever may have been the nor.
ality of DR.. Watts his natural history
is no better than his poetry. The News,
if it is so assured of the demoralizing in-
fuence it has exercised upon dogs, is
welcome to blush for itself. We prefer
to maintain that dogs sorrow under
boredom for the same simple reason that
they delight to bark and bite, for it's
their nature to."-London Spectator.

A Triton Among the NIinnows.

Prince Adolphus of fSchaumburg-Lippe
is the hero of the following story: Dur
ing the congress of princes held in Frank
fort in the year 1868 a banquet was Civ
en- by the authorities, to which the nota-
bles OF the city We're invited. The sover-
eign princes of the German confedera-
tion sat apart from the rest of the COM
pany and were engaged in an animated
conversation when suddenly there was a
general commotion among the illustri-
GUS guests. The crowned heads rose
from their seats to welcome an insignifi-
can't little gentleman who had Joined the
circle. To everybody's astonishment
Prince Adolphus alone kept his seat.
Then the Elector of Hesse went up to
him and whispered in his ear:
"My dear prince, won't you speak to
the gentleman along with the rest?
Don't you know who he is?"
"No."
'It is Baron Rothschild."
"What of that? He is nothing to me.

"Did she say that?" she asked hotly.

A RUINED RANGE.
DISASTROUS Prairie Fire Destroy Many
Miles of Grass.

Disastrous Prairie Fire Destroy Many
Miles of Grass.
The Marias range is literally destroyed
between the Teton and Marias rivers,
and from the narrow gauge railroad east
ward to the confluence Of the two
streams. There have been some disas.
trous prairie fires in Montana in the past.
but never before waa there at any one
time 30 much range destroyed. Besides
the portion referred to, extensive fires
have occurred within the past two weeks
south of the Teton and north Of the
Marias, but the scope Of range destroyed
as noted above, is the largest in extent
ever known here.
On Tuesday morning it was thought
the fire had been subdued, but in the
afternoon 1t was learned that it was still
advancing eastward, and Capt. James
Townsend gathered q crew OF fifteen Of
the Msrias riders and started for the
fire. They struck the fire q few miles
acros the Teton and worked faithfully
until nearly 5 o'clock this morning, when
they at last got the flames subdued.
The extremely dry weather made their
task q fearfully hard one.
Wednesday forenoon the boys returned
to Fort Benton and gave 90 their opinion
that the fire originated from the narrow
guage railroad, and that the territory
burnt over is forty miles in length and
from fifteen to twenty miles 10 width.

NEARLY BURNED TO A CRISP
The Little Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs,
Frank Merrill Of West Great Falls
Fatally Burned Last Night.
The Mother Was Away and It Il
Thought the Children Played
with Matches.

Literally burned to a crisp was the
sad news that came from the home Of
Attorney Frank Merrill on the West
side Friday evening. The victim was
his little two and a hall. year old girl,
and the flames did such terrible work
that the unfortunate child lived only
about half an hour. Mrs. Merrill was
away from home at the time caring for
a neighbor, Mrs. Mott. The little one
that was burned was with her two
brothers aged about 4 and 6 years at the
house of their grandmother next door
to their home. The children were play
Jog in a sleeping room. About $50 a
scream was heard. The mother came
quickly to the rescue and made a heroic
effort to rescure the little girl who was
lying on the bed which was already well
ablaze. Mrs. Merrill's hands were badly
burned and It was apparent that the
child had suffered great injuries. The
bed was thrown from the window and
the flames oon extinguished. DR..
Brady was summoned by telephone and
came as soon as possible. DR.. Longe-
woy oiiANou JUL dttcE Inc pny-
sicians found that there was nothing
for them to do as the child was
breathing with great difficulty when
they arrived and soon expired. The
flesh OF it's arms and back was burnt to
a crisp; in fact, the same might be said
Of the whole body and almost all Of the
lower limbs.
1t is impossible to tell how the fire
originated as the children were alone IN
the room. A probable explanation ie
that they were playing with matches.
1t is one OF the most pitiable accidents
that has ever occurred in Great Falls.
The mother is reported as just about
overcome with such terrible grief as fills
the heart OF a parent at q time like this
this-a time when sympathy seems very
weak however anxious it may be to do
a kind service.

employed would have been thrown out

employed would have been thrown OUT
Of remunerative employment, and the
company would certainly have sustained
q loss. All this has been averted and
for 1t great credit lie due to the gentle
men who composed the committee Of the
Trades Council Of Great Falls and the
representative of the Miners Federation
Of Butte, who, in the discharge of the
delicate duty, proved that they under
stood the situation and were the right
men In the right place.
In connection with the affair the fol-
lowing from the Belt Valley Times is
well worthy Of publication and remem-
brance: THE people of Belt can con.
graduate themsel yes on having amongst
them a crowd Of miners who, even in the
face Of the troubles of the past two
weeks, know how to conduct themselves
as gentlemen. So far there has been no
violence; no threats, and a stranger pass
ing through the towr. would never know
there was a strike unless told of it. This
is remarkable when we recall the labor
troubles in hundreds of other localities
where fighting and destruction of prop
ran Wild"

No Doubt 1t Is Very Pretty.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The secretary
Of the treasury has approved a design
for a new s. silver certificate, which had
been prepared under the direction OF
Claud M. johnson, chief of the bureau
Of engraving and printing. The original
Of the design was painted by Walter
Sherlew, the we'll known American
artist. The picture itself occupies more
than two-thirds Of the face area of the
note. The central figure is an angel
with outspread wings, her feet resting
upon the earth and her uplifted right
hand holding an electric light. Half re.
clining at her right is a female figure
with a trumpet at her lips, proclaiming
the achievements and prowess of the ma.
ton. Further to her right is an allegor.
ical figure Of a man, representing power,
guiding with his left hand three horses
abreast, while with his right he graspe
from the clouds a thunderbolt which ie
connected by a ribbon with the light
held BY the center figure. At the left is
an eagle and another female figure with
a dove, denoting peace. In the right
background isl half concealed picture of
the capitol. Persons competent to Judge
the merits Of the picture, as a work Of
art, declare 1t to be Of a high order.
