An Open Letter.
MAIDEN, Mont, Sept.

MAIDEN, Mont, Sept. 10. "a.
Thomas Jefferson Johns. Esq, Lewistown
Montana.
DEAR SIR :-Will you kindly inform
the public why it is that in the fight
for capital honors in 1892, you es-
poused the good qualities and qualif-
cations OF Helena, while there were
Others in the field to choose from ?
Now that Helena and Anaconda meet
like pugilists in the ring, you most
earnestly appeal to the better judg-
ment of the intelligent voter to sup
port Anaconda.
Satisfactory answer to this question
will increase your prestige much to
the admiration of the reading public.
Until you answer this question | am,
Yours in doubt,
DON PEDRO.

and priests their crude theories OF crea-
ton, men thought that the sun travelled
around the earth, and this superstition
80 lurked In the recesses OF the world
that Calico and Bruno suffered death for
insisting upon the contrary. Nor were
their deaths without a precedent More
than forty centuries before two Chinese
philosophers, named respectively HI and
Ho, had also died for teaching the same
doctrine.
PROFOUND INTEREST.
The phenomena of the sky have had a
profound interest for men. They were
often unnaturally associated with the idea
Of Heaven itself. Up to even COMPARE
lively recent years electrical disturbances
In the atmosphere were believed to be
caused by the anger Of Providence. Men
| and women. particularly In uncivilized
! countries, instinctively prayed when the
| peals of thunder shook the dome OF
heaven. and fear was supplanted by hope
| In the human breast when the rainbow
| of peace made its appearance in the sky,

revolution of the earth around the sun.
In past periods nations and individuals,
as well as the state OF weather, were
considered to be more or less Influenced
by astronomical phenomena. But or late
years meteorology having started
so to speak, In business for itself. has
developed a field Of great usefulness both
to the farmer and the navigator. and
the progress of invention has rendered
astronomy a somewhat useless, though
exceedingly interesting and attractive

the mother of all sciences, since from the
inception of creation primitive man had
to learn to adjust himself to the sea-
sons. and exercised his intelligence In

A Happy New Year.

(Written for the Dispatch.)
May the new year bring for you
In all its days and hours,
Some glad experiences to view
Sweet as the morning flowers.
All that you fondly dream Of now,
No sorrows to your heart,
No clouds TO leave upon your brow.
A shadow when they part.
Happy may you be, and hest.
Rich in gifts and graces.
Under the palm branch may you rest
Free from frowning faces;
Full OF Joy and hope and cheer;
Never sad, but always gay;
Even so I'd have the year
Ripen for you day by day. w.
