OF which I'm very proud:
They never fight and never scratch,
And never cry out loud
They sit up in the dollhouse there
When I'm away at school,
Like little ladies born, and bred
BY grandma's strctest rule.
I love them so that each one seems
The apple of my eye,
And II you'll listen Just bit
III tell the reason why.
Well first there is my new French DOLL
Ny Marie Antoinette;
Because she has such lovely curls
She seems my dearest pet.
Then, this old doll I've washed and scrubbed
TIL she is pale and slick;
call her now my invalid
And love her cause she's sick.

Cause she's lame, you see.
And then there's Pinkie's sister, Belle.
(She's china every bit
She has to wear a Hubbard dress
Cause nothing else win fiji.
Once as / washed her ROSY face,
She slipped and cracked her nose
Oh, how I've loved her ever since
Not even mamma knowsi
And last of all there's Sookey Ann,
My rag doll big and fat
I'm fond of Sookey, though she is
AS black as papa's hat.
For sookey minds the other dolls
When I'm not there to see
make her hand the cups around
When all the rest have tea.
Now that is every doll own;
I've broken all the rest.
You ask which one among the four

Dwarfs in Russia.

In the time of Peter there were no great
writer's or artists among the Russians, but
court testers and dwarfs were highly es-
teemed. Learning did not count for much
except among the clergy, but the great
empire, we are told, was remarkable for
her fools" of high degree, for even princes
were proud to hold the Office
AS for dwarfs the country was really
alive with them. One old author says
there was scarcely nobleman in the land
who did not possess one or more of these
"frisks" of nature. At almost all state
dinners, If these pygmies were fortunate
enough to escape being served In pie, 1t
was their duty to stand behind their lord s
chair holding his snutfbox or awaiting his
command. They were usually gayly dress
ed in uniform or livery of very costly
materials.
In 1908 Prince Menshikof sent to HE
wife in Russia two dwarfs whom he had
made prisoners of war in Poland. 40
companying the gift were the following
lines; II send you present. of two girls,
one of whom is very small and can serve
as a parrot. She is more talkative than is
usual among such little people and can
make you much gayer than if she was
real parrot.
One of these dwarfs was still living in
1894. After the disgrace of her noble mas
ter she came under the care Of the Prin-
cess of Hesse- Homburg, and when she
died General Betskoy, the princess heir,
took the dwarf as part of his inheritance.
Nearly a century old, she was still brisk
and lively, with babyish voice when she
cried, as she often did at the recollection
Of her ancient court dress, which she had
priced exceedingly. Except when looking
at her face to face one would think her
to be a child five or six years old.-St.
Nicholas.

SILLY THREAT,

Some OF the superserviceable friends
Of Helena in Great Falls are giving cur
rency to a story and coupling the name
Of Capt. Couch with it to the effect that
il the vote Of Great Falls is cast for
Anaconda the Boston IL Montana com
pany, by way Of showing it's displeasure
and in retaliation, will put in company
stores, water works and hotels, drug
stores, hardware stores, blacksmith
shops, tailor shops and all other kinds Of
business establishments. The TRIBUNE
has known Capt. Couch for a long time
and, while it is aware that he favors
Helena, it does not believe that he could
be induced to make such a stupid
threat. If he has done so it will have no
effect, for the business men of Great
Falls will vote as tley see fit regardless
of intimidation either expressed or i'm
piled. Like the countryman, they have
"lived too long in the woods TO be scared
by an owl"
The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1894-11-02
SPENDING It's FURY.

At the Anaconda for the capital de-
monetration in Butte Saturday night the
speakers were Hon. Henry Mueller, ex
mayor and democratic candidate for
state senator, Hon. II. L. Frank, ex.
mayor and democratic candidate for
the legislature, Hon. Stephen DeWolfe,
ex-member Of the legislature and ex-
United States District Judge, Attorney
George Haldorn, John Mcguire, the vet
eran manager, Judge M. kirkpatrick and
Col. W. G. Plummer. All of these gen.
tlemen are we'll known in Butte and a
majority of the residents of that city had
an idea that they were respectable, in
telligent and entitled to consideration.
But the people who elected Messrs.
Frank, Mueller and DeWo.fe to import
ant and responsible positions we're, il the
Miner is to be believed, only a band Of
asses. Glorying in it's shame, standing
alone in its infamy ami discounting a
fish monger in coarse abuse, the Miner
on its editorial page speaks of the gentle
men named as "a dozen circus criers,
au%ctioneers, hot tomale' pedlars, punish
ing audiences composed of men who we're
compelled to remain in the halls or lose
their jobs"
The fact is the demonstration was SO
absolute and indisputable an evidence of
the strength of Anaconda in Butte, that
the Miner was beside itself with rage.
1t knows its cause is hopeless, and the
only satisfaction it can get is to exhaust
the vocabulary of billingsgate upon all
the citizens Of Butte, taking especial
care to single out for the most violent
attacks those who have been its best and
most disinterested friends when it needed
friends. 1t seems to forget there is a
future and that courses like chickens
come home to roost.'

Wooden Wedding.

On Tuesday evening the pretty resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Fox, 723
Fifth avenue north, was the scene Of one
Of the happiest gatherings that has
graced Great Falls for many days. The
occasion was the celebration Of the
wooden wedding Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fox,
and it was a royal celebration, The
hostess had exercised her ingenuity in
appropriately decorating her pretty
home for the event and as a result the
effect was novel and striking. 1t was a
picture in wood, all colors and specie be.
ing called into requisition to enhance the
novelty of the ensemble. During the
evening an elaborate luncheon was
served and again wood was a feature, for
in the service as far as possible wood was
used, and when that was not available
clever limitations in color were substi-
tuted. The presents were numerous and
embraced all manner Of articles in the
wood line, some chosen for beauty and
adornment and others for utility. II
was in all respects a pleasant party and
when the time for separating arrived the
wish was that all on a future occasion
greet each other in celebrating the crys'
tai wedding of the gracious hostess. The
guests were Mesdames Nathan, kauf-

ATTEST OF ~CREDULITY,

Helena has sprung another one, and
this q is::intended to be a scorcher, 1t
was to carry every labor vote in the
state. 1t is in the shape of a poster,
which, in display type, 49,
636, 6O.OOIwas:paid the past year by the
people ofSHelena to::the laboring men of
Montana" Then follows a long list of
names, and the document concludes,
$4,000 to..the mar that can prove there
are tooimany on this payroll, and
that Helena pays in wages less than
S446,980.O per month" Just why a
few cents.were not added in place of the
cyphers is not apparent. 1t would have
made it look more like precise book
keeping. However, that is Helena's own
business. = 1t has in the list scraped to-
gether the,!!name of every man 10 the
state employed in concerns in which any
man in.Helena has an interest, and, &C.
cording to the statement, they number
2,373. Admitting that every nam on
the list is genuine, which The TRIBUNE,
g.. out Of respect to it's common sense, and
in the light Of its knowledge Of Helena
literature dare not do, it is a goodly ar
ray. The time is too short to win the
$500 under the conditions, but it is safe
to offer a reward for a sane mar who will
believe the statement after he has ex-
Rmined it. The reason for this is ap.
parent. The list contains 2,373 names,
and it is safe to say 30 per cent of them
are the names of laborers. To these
2,373 men it claims to have paid out for
twelve months past exactly s446,980.OO

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.

If there be a man in Helena today
who has a good word for Anaconda or
Marcus DAILY he is taking good care to
hide his light under a bushel. The city
is now never referred to save in the most
contemptuous terms and the vocabulary
of adjectives has been exhausted in
abusing Marcus DAILY. That there Is no
reason or truth in the assaults upon
either is manifest, but Helena has no
argument to advance why it should be
selected as the capital and hopes to
make votes by belittling and decrying it's
opponent. This was not always the
case, for no longer ago than July, 1892,
we find Helena people singing the praises
of Anaconda and Mr.. DAILY. At that
time the national mining congress was
about to meet at Helena and j. A. Mac
Knight, a Helena man, was employed by
other Helena men to prepare a book to
|be presented to the congress showing
the mineral wealth Of the state. The
title Of the book was "Mines Of Mon.
tana" and from its pages VIC clip the fol-
lowing:
Anaconda is one Of the wonders Of

main, is trying TO conquer Montana. Its
present move is to locate the capital at
Helena, a city which it owns and domi-
mates. A vote for Helena is a vote for
the Northern Pacific.

SMALL DEMAND.

Small favors thankfully received.
After theNHelena Women's club of Hell
ena had for weeks deluged the state
with letters to individuals and ~organiza.
tions, thess,,H Helena Herald publishes a
~half-column 'scare" head announcing
"Women's:clubs organized all over the
state" In the fourth of a column of
readingima.ter which follows it makes
no mention eof a single club that has
been organized, but quotes from letters
sent by six ladies in different sections of
the state who sympathize with Helena
in the contest .. This appears to be
rather a meager return for so large an
expenditure'of time and money on the
part Of the Helena ladies.
The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1894-11-02

The Photographer of the EMinneapelis
Journal in a column of items under the
caption "Norwesters," has the following:
Helena, Mont.-This city has ten
licensed Chinese gambling houses and
faro games. Each pays $500 a year to
the city. They are supported by the
Cinnamon in domestic service. Helena
has practically no white domestic labor
ers OF either SEX"
The item was not prepared by the
Helena for thei capital committee, nor
was it paid for, but as al condensed and
truthful summing up of the situation,
it is unequalled by any of the literature
that has heretofore appeared in the
easternfpress.

HELENA PREACHERS.

The Helena preachers had a whirl al
the capital question and they just knock
ed the socks off the Helena politicians
and Helena press in their statements
An untruth is an untruth whether
uttered from the pulpit or on the hus,
tings and a false witness is a false wit
ness, whether he wear the cloth of
clergyman, or the mantle of a Northern
Pacific attorney. Many of the Helena
preachers, talked capital to their con.
gregations, Sunday and samples of what
they said are taken from the Indepen.
dent:
Rev. Crooker, of the Unitarian church
said: SIN the contest our city is simply
the standard bearer for the state. People
in the nation at large, instantly, heartily
unanimously, declare in our favor. Every
statesman outside our bounds wishes us
success"
Rev. MI. Lane, Episcopal said: "Ana.
conda appeals to selfishness, while Hell.
ena appeals to patriotism"
Rev. Streator, Christian referring to
Marcus DAILY remarked: "Any man OF
any set Of men who directly
that he can carry his purpose because
he al purchase 40 per cent or any pei
cent Of the voting population is danger.
GUS"
Rev. Allen, Baptist: 81 do not under.
stand that this contest is a contest be.
tween two cities, Helena and Anaconda,
1t is certainly not a contest upon Hele-
mas part, nor against Anaconda. Helena
has no very great interest in the matter
has no interest at all, as l understand
it, apart from the interests Of the people
of the state"
The above are samples, and all THE
TRIBUNE has to say is that il the gentle.
men who made the statements believed
them to be true, they are stupidity ignor.
ant Of the real condition of affairs, toe
unsophisticated to talk upon the subject
and had better confine themselves to the
%stupendous task Of saving the souls OF
their degenerate parishioners.
