THE HOUSEHOLD.
How a Chameleon Changes its cIothe

| -
After a few days, Twinkle was
ready once more for what life
should hold in store for him; and
it was quite plain, from his restless
manner, the cunning fellow knew
some important event in his life was
about to happen. There was nc
keeping him quiet in any place; he
was nervously alert all day, refused
to go to bed in decent season at
night, and if you were up at four
O'Clock in the morning, there he
was, with his coverlet kicked all
awry, wide awake and waiting for
daylight.
1t was discovered that just under
his collar, at the back of his neck,
was grayish white spot, which
was rapidly growing larger. Then
every child in the village had some
thing wonderful to attend to, for
Twinkle was going to change his
skin! The children came in such
numbers that they had to be ad-
mitted a few at a time, and the
individual most concerned in the
business, Twinkle himself, seemed
least concerned, probably because
he knew best what to be expected
of chameleonS.
First, he turned a pearly white
all over his body, and remained that
color for one day. On the second
day a slit appeared down the inside
of each leg, and an opening straight
down his back, and down the entire
lenght of his long tail. Then, fun
niest of all, the skin parted at his
waist, and there he was, looking,
for all the world, as if he had on a
pearly white Zouave jacket with
fiuttering, flowing sleeves, and wide
sailor trousers on his legs; and he
was such a queer figure, no one
wondered that he cut some strange
capers to rid himself of his old
clothes.
His trousers were first kicked off
by nimble legs, and he dragged
over his head his white jacket, all
in tatters, just as the last unwilling
little boy was forced, by coming
darkness, to leave the house that
night.
1t was certainly time Twinkle
had new suit; and it was fine to
show him next morning proudly
summing himself in coat of dazzling
green. AS he had choice of colors
at his command, it is confidently
believed by some that he chose
green solely to grace that beautiful
spring rning.-Demorest's Maga-
zine.

noticeable fact that those who de-

DAILY OF

Ii is an unfortunate feature of the
campaign that compels-or induces
stalwart old republicans like Major Al
derson Of the Bozeman Courier, to ex
tfavagantly praise the political methods
and the political past-so far as this
state is concerned-of Marcus DAILY. Is
II necessary that republican papers that
are supporting Anaconda for the capital
shall endors and glorify Mr.. DAYS
political career in this state? Such a
course must inevitably lead those who
have yet to form an opinion. that Mr..
DAILY and his interests. are the questions
at stake in the capital contest. and not.
where il is best or most desirable To To-
cate the capital. If the people were pre-
pairing to vote for the location and cree
ton of a capitoline mansion for the ac-
commodation Of Mr.. DAILY and his
business associates. his personal quail
ties would not or could not be given
much greater prominence than they
have been given thus far in this cam
paign by the papers that are supporting
Mr.. Days project; and however honest
and enthusiastic the Courier may be for
Aanaconda it grsexes us to note that in
the exempIification of this honesty and
enthusiasm. 50 good a republican as
Major Anderson finds IT possible or
necessary to wholly endorse and approve
OF Mr.. Days assault upon the legisla-

he did openly and above board" 1t is
true that the d~isreputable transac.
lions that have made some members of
that legislature infamous. were carried
with very little pretence of secrecy.
but does that lessen the crime? This
member OF the odd Guard" of
republicanism, also finds IT necessary to
let his admiration of Mr.. DAILY slop over
on his man Dixon, whose part in the last
senatorial campaign is too well known
and understood by the people of this
state, to need any calculation. In the
halo OF glory that surrounds Mr.. DAILY.
