Jimmy DARTS was in the city on
Saturday for the first time in several
months. Jimmy is Gallatin county's
miser. He is supposed to be worth
$4,000, and it is popularity believed
that a great deal of money is hidden
on his ranch. Jimmy is about as
poorly clad as a man can be in this
climate, and bears the appearance OF
just eating enough to keep him alive.
He was never known to do a generous
deed in his life and his presence on
earth affords an excellent example of
what the love of money will do.

Buffalo Bills Many Honors.

The following is credited to the
London News but was probably writ
ten by some facetious American:
THE ~cablegrams announce that Col.
Cody, who will be remembered in Lon.
don, has beer ret urned as mayor o.
Nebraska. No better selection could
have been made. Col. Cody vas a
friend of a man named Boone, who
discovered Kentucky in 1869. Alter
marrying the granddaughter OF a dis
tinguished gentleman known as Sitting
Bull Frog, Cody was twice governor
OF Chicago, and at one time was made
mayor of the Arkansas legislature.
He also served in the Confederate
army under Ben Butler, who SO gal
lantly defended New Orleans against
Longstreet. The province OF Detroit
rewarded him for the relief OF the citi-
zens OF Buffalo. 1t was in this way
that he got his name Buffalo Bill.
While Mr.. Cody has a large ranch in
St. Louis he finds time for literature
and writes for the Atlantic Monthly,
a newspaper edited by Mark Twain
and Uncle Thomas Cabin, a gentle
man who made fame by his negro dia-
lect sketches"

An Oriental Ant Eater,

Tom O'Neil has at his home menag.
erie a peculiar specimen of the ami.
NAL kingdom which he prizes highly.
The animal is a little oriental ant
eater. 1t came direct from Asia and
was purchased in the West Indies
from a vessel and brought to the
Texas coast as the property of Cap
tain w. H. Sterling of the Port La
vaca and Matagorda Packet line, and
after an apprenticeship on this YES
sci, where he was instrumental in ex-
tinguishing the last rat, cockroach
and flea, passed into the hands of
Tom ONeil as a present. In appear
ance the little creature is a cross be-
tween a Georgia persimmon fed pos
sum and a Kansas chipmunk, but is
nor intelligent and domestic than
either. The little denizen of the
orient cannot only clean out the
biggest ant nest in town in short or
der, but will rid a house of the last
rat, mouse or cockroach with equal
facility and take up the feas for a
diet.-Port Lavacaen.

The present board of commissioners
care rs little for the attacks of the Mud
Geyser rs they do for the bowling of "A
coyote or the presence of a skunk in
the vicinity of their ranches. The tax.
payers demanded retrenchment and a
c~urtailing of expenses in county affairs
and the board is hewiDg to the line re,
gardlesS of where the chips fall. Had
the sherifl's Office escaped there would
have been no roar, but this Office has
been IA great source of revenu and a
portion of which seeped through Ger.
tain channels in support Of the Geyser.
Therefore any curtailment of h sur
plus is quickly and severely felt. The
fact, also, that the relations between
Mr.. Deaton and tine Geyser are some
what strained at present may close the
pores altogether. leaving the burden OF
support to fall on the assessor and
county attorney.

Copper Plating,

A new method of depositing copper
is proposed by which, as is asserted,
a perfectly smooth surface is OBJ
tanned and by which a very dense and
firm deposit is assured-such a meth
cd of electroplating the bulls of
steel vessels, in fact, as will keep
them from fouling; also doing away
with the necessity for drydocking.
scraping and repainting. The plan
is to plate the bottom of iron and
steel vessels with a continuous sheet
of copper that will be so firmly at
tached to the iron or steel that there
will be n danger of any tearing off
by accidental grounding on bars, etc,
and having no seams II joints to ad-
NIT e water and set up galvanic ac-
ton. The ordinary method of de-
posting copper electrically on iron or
steel could not, it is stated, be en-
ployed in this way, al the thick coat
of copper required when thrown
down from the ordinary sulphate So
luton would be very rough, porous
and otherwise untitled York

The Pollard Breckenridge case at
Washington is getting rather salacious.
The evidence so far places the ''silver
tongued' Kentuckian i'll n very bad
light. Cross examination of witnesses
by skillful attorneys for the defense Is
even more damaging than the direct
testimony. The gay Lothario will
probably have to yield up a part of his
fortune and retire to the oblivion he so
Justly merits. If he loses the case his
constituents will not return him to
congress next fall and he will drop
from public view in shame and dis
grace. For the son of a Presbyterian
minister and himself a participation in
all public doings of this denomination,
where his eloquence could strengthen
the cause and charm his hearers,
breckenridge will take rank as the
greatest imposter and rake in Ameri-
can history.

TRAVELLERS or THE Sky.
A Remarkable Story of the. Flight and RI
turn of a Storks

A Remarkable Story Of tn. Flight and Re-
turn of n Stork.
heard one summer a true story,
which was narrated by a clergyman
to a group of young folks on a hotel
piazza. 1 shall not tell his name be-
cause l know the story better than
the historian.
Several years ago this gentleman
was living in the German capital with
his family. There we're many new
sights and sounds to interest the
American family, but nothing more
fascinating than the colony of white
storks which settled ON the adjacent
~housetops and made a bird village of
the nestled chimney stacks.
The birds had such an air of pro
prietorship and general coziness that
some member of the family insisted
that that particular part of the city
was the regular summer home of
these tourists, who returned to their
old quarters each season in human
fashion. This idea was not accepted
as fact, and there were many specu-
lations as to some possible means of
testing the theory. Not being up in
the stork language, no one could ask
questions and get answers. neither
could any mortal remember the fine
points of stork physiognomy from
year to year.
A plan was finally decided upon,
and one particularly aristocratic
monarch-of-all-I-survey looking bird
was enticed by a good dinner into the
garden. There was a silver ring
placed about his leg, on which was
engraved Berlin, 1885," He then
few back to his favorite chimney.

n ere long he joined the passing
hocks that were constantly leaving
for the south. Many a thought fol.
lowed the feathered fugitive during
the long winter, and at the first sign
of spring eager eyes watched for the
return of the travellers.
After many days a distant line of
storks far up in the blue came into
view. Over the clergyman's house
several detached themselves from the
sky caravan and lowered around the
dwelling. A tempting feast was pre-
pared, and presently the weary pill
grims flew down into the yard.
Friendly eyes watched every move
ment with joyous welcome. Imagine
the surprise when one of the flock
was seen to have two silver rings
upon its legs!
Beholdl the old ring was back
again and accompanying it another

tensively Counterfeited.

enormous accommodations of ordinary
copper cents. The reader is very apt
to remember this, particularly if in

AS a matter of fact, there is no ex.

The United States subtreasury at
Wall and Nassau streets makes and
has made it a practice for years of
exchanging minor coin for United
States money of large denomination,
and it has many regular customers
who are so served.
There are a number of curious
things about cents as they come to
the subtreasury. In the first place,
they + quite extensively counter.
feited. This may seem strange, as
the profit in a counterfeit cent is nee
essarily small. 1t is true, however,
nevertheless and is supposed to be
the work of Italians, who, more
largely than any other nationality,
seem to favor the imitation of our
minor and subsidiary coin.
Tho RrppEl-n and Navr Tarsax- Cor
ry companies, the elevated railroads
of both New York and Brooklyn and
the various slot machine companies
r regular customers for the ex-
change of cents for other money at
the subtreasury. At times they turn
in enormous quantities, the slot com
panies alone ranging between 1925
and 500 a day.
AS might be expected, all sorts of
oddities in the way of coin come in
with the quantity taken in the ma
chimes. In addition to the counter
feits are scores of mot one cents of
war times, metal disks and foreign
copper, Austrian money predominant
ing. As the copper cent is simply a
token, no matter what its condition
is, it is redeemed at par if it can in
any way be identified as United States
money.
The popularity of the slot machines
brought about a curious condition of
affairs in the country. This was moth
ing short of a ''cent famine" The
headquarters of the company is in
New York, and all agents sent their
cents here for redemption, which
drained the country of its supply and
overstocked the minor coin vaults of
the subtreasury here with cents

Kansas has paid 100000 in wolf
