The board of alderman should take into consideration the old story of the boys and the frogs. When the boys threw stones into the pond to amuse themselves the frogs objected, saying it is all very well to play bnt your kind of amusement is injurious to others. So with our city officials and others who object to repairing the Miller X Peck building. While you amuse yourselves with visions of handsome structure instead of an old wooden building, remember that while you are amusing yourselves with such visions that you may be bringing distress and discomfort to the firesides of tifty-seven families who depend on the repairing of this building to get their bread and butter. It is we'll known fact that many families in this city are living on the earnings of one person and you don't know but that one person was employed in Miller & Peck's establishment. In my humble opinion this is the year and this IS the time that the lightning train of pride and pro press muet be side-tracked in order to give ripbt of way to the slow coach of necessity Coming to think of it my Sugar brokers at IDA Wall St, N. Y, who do more business in one day than all the stores from Lake. Strobel X Co to the City Corners do in a week have their office in a wooden build inp. So you see that buildings made of wood are not so bad after all, and the orowth of New York has not been affected very much by them in that big city.

KellY's Philosophy

is always apt and to the point. His latest etfusion on the action of the City Govern ment regarding the repair of our building is fully appreciated and. we are sure, voices the sentiment of all fair minded people conversant with the facts. While we would wish no bad luck to anybody we can say that if a calamity such as our recent one should at1lict any of the public they will realize the gratifying effect of single word of sympathy should it be offered. However, while sympathy is pleasing, 1t is simply justice that is wanted at the hands of those able to dispense it. The goods have nearly all been removed by the in surance companies and as our doors will be open tomorrow to let in a little sun light and air (which we trust, no one will attempt to deny us) we cordially invite our patroLs and the public generally to visit and inspect the premises to the end that they may judge for themselves the extent of damage 10 our building and thereby be enabled to form, from personal observation, an intelligent opinion of the situation.

BLAND WINS.

On Thursday last the long and ex-
haustive fight over BANDS seigniorage
bill was Won by the passage Of the bill.
For weeks past-in fact ever since the
bill got before the house-it has been
evident thasIf it got to a vote it would
go through. 4 goodly portion Of the
bowling majority that carried the Sher-
man repeal bill through the house a few
months ago.h have experienced a change
of heart on the silver question, mainly
caused. il is presumed. by the failure Of
the repeal measure to In any degree bet
ter the financial conditions. Silver has
been steadily gaining friends since last
summer, both in this country and
abroad, aud while the Bland seigniorage
bill just passed is a long way from free
coinage. its passage in the house is in
dicative of a very marked change in the
feelings Of that body on the important
question of silver coinage. OF course
the Bland bill is not a law yet and may
never be. 1t has got to run the
gauntlet Of the senate, and il success.
full there, it may fall under the veto Of
the president, but there are indications
everywhere that silver is not the friend.
less cur that it was last summer, and il
would not be surprising to see 80 mild a
measure as the seigniorage bill treated
with courtesy by both senate and execu.
tive.

CONCERNING ASSESSMENTS.

A majority Of the county assessors OF
this state met at Helena this week TO
discuss a~ssessable values of live stock
and other properties, the meeting having
been called by the state boerd OF equal
i%zation. who last year found much dlffl-
Guilty in establishing an equable yalua-
ton. owing to the widely different ideas
held in different counties. Fourteen OF
the twenty-one counties were represent
ed. the absentees being B~eaverhead.
Dawson. Custer. Fergus. Flathead, Mis-
soula and Silver Bow. all with the excep-
ton Of Silver Bow. being at a consider
able distance from the place of meeting.
which probably accounts for the lack OF
representation.
BY some process Of reasoning not
readily grasped by this paper. the assem-
bled body found that Eastern Montana
range cattle were worth three dollars a
head more than western. and in the
pursuance Of that idea, fixed the aisess-
ed value Of range cattle at $500 In the
counties Of Missoula. Ravalli. Granite.
Flathead. jefferson. Madison. Gntla'in,
E~eaverhead and Deer Lodge. and for the
rest Of the state $500 was agreed upon.
A domestic COW was considered TO be
taxable at $1,000 all the state over.
Horses we're next taken up and an i'm.
provement made on the work of pre-
vious years by fixing three general
grades. range horses. work horses and
thoroughbreds. Heretofore the distinc-
tion has only been between common and
blooded stock. The meeting agreed upon
1900 for range stock. leaving the valua
tlon of work horses and thoroughbreds
to the judgment Of the assessor.
Sheep came next. ard proved a pretty
hard subject. The great collapse in this
industry during the past year, and the
utter absence Of values. as evidenced by
sales. put the assembled wisdom Of the
meeting somewhat at sea. No one pres
emit wanted 10 see sheep listed at more
than 500 a head. and many thought
that lower figures would be nearer the

that by comparison with cattle-elo.OU
for a $500 steer-sheep should not be
listed at over - cents. \ Ii nal agree
ment was reached. however. al slsJo. but
this was barely adopted. and a motion 70
reconsider got six votes, against seven
opposing reconsideration. Other matters
we're then discussed. and it was agreed
by all that the merchants would have to
be lacked up" a good deal closer than
heretofore. the general impression Of the
assessors being that only a small por
ton Of the stocks carried were returned
for taxation. As to the assessing OF
banks. the state board promised to make
a rule on the subject. and to furnish
zach assessor with a copy Of it, so that
this class Of property would be treated
alike all over the state.

A Scrap from my Album.

There is, at the present day, 81
bitter feeling toward what are
termed "old maids" The very
phrase brings an unaccountable
grin upon the face of the reader
or hearer-a class of the work
manship of God; for the reason
that they have not been fools
enough to marry, are nearly ostra- |
cised from the pale of society, or
permitted admission by apparent
ly painful sufferance; and what
was once a virtue, and even now,
in some parts of the world is a
praise, by false reasoning, is pro-
nounced nearly q curse. Each
puny punster, when his wit is at
low ebb, has an oft repeated fling
to throw at those who are termed
"old maids"
A maiden at eighteen is thought
angelic; at thirty woman; at for
ty a nuisance. And why? The
same virtues which budded, bios
somed and ripened at their pro-
per times, exist in woman, wheth-
or she has been the legitimate
spouse of an unworthy mate, or
whether she has avoided the curses
attendant Upon an unfortunate
connection. Her very cats are ar
rayed against her in the one case,
and the whole married, or young
aged fraternity, yelp in her behalf
in the other. To be the wife of q
brutal biped, is better, according
to the modern logic, than to re-
main pure, uncontaminated and the
wife of no beastly lord of creation.
Will any one inform us why his
sister, if he has one, should be
less admired, If she possesses qua
lities of mind and heart to be ad-
mired, because she remains un-
married? Can one show any
physical or moral cause why she
should not be? Yet plain COM
mon sense to the contrary not
withstanding. dolt-head-~ould-be-
wits, turn up their silly noses, at
these unprotected race Of beings,
which humanity should defend.
But there are instances of old
maidism of a touching nature.
We know of one in that of heI
who was the betrothed of the i'll.
fated Emmet-the one who hss
been the subject of . poets harp
she was welded to his memory
and though always an ornament
to society yet sadness dwelt il

grave, where they we're buried

and true to her first love, she de

old maid however. and by our mo

PROGRESSIVE PROPOSING.

The young fellow was extremely dif-
fdsnt and very much in love with the
girl.
He had made a half dozen attempts
TO offer her his heart and hand, but on
each occasion he had fallen short.
To add TO the seriousness OF the situa-
ton, the girl was ready to accept him
as soon as the proposal was in definite
shape.
Even the mother was willing, but lat
terly she had grown tired of the dla-
tory tactics aud Fabian policy OF the
sutton, and had kicked on his coming so
often aud staying so late.
One night, after three hours struggle
on his part and much delicate encour-
agement on the part Of the girl, he had
seized her hand convulsvely, dropped
on ais knees impetuOuSly and was ABOUT
one-fith through an impassloned APP
peal to her 10 be his'n, when the moth
er'S voice sounded clear on the night
from the head Of the stairs.
The youth stopped short, but held on.

ENORMOUSLY, sis that young man there
yet?"
Not yet, mother" replied Mary,
smiling sweetly down on the face OF her
Romeo. but he's getting there"
And two weeks later the c-rds were

PALATABLE SUMNER FISHES

VINAIGRETTE SAUCE. into YES
sci six hard boiled egg yolks rubbed
through a sieve; smooth nicely while
beating with a spoon, and incorporate
slowly two glls Of good oil, two spoon
fuls Of cold veloute sauce, little vine
gar, mustard, pepper, chopped parsley
or chives. Serve this sauce the same
time with the asparagus, or else serve
them with q HolandaiSe mousseline
A MORNING PALATE TICKLER.--A
nice breakfast dish is made by Slicing
three or four ripe bananas in q dish and
squeezing over them the juice OF good
sized lemon. Then put over this gill
OF ice water aud half cup OF granula-
ted sugar Stand where il will get
good and cool, and after half an hour IL
will be ready 10 serve. The lemon juice
takes away the natural insipid taste and
is healthy.
BOILED TONGUE-Wash the tongue
carefully and let it lie in cold water for
several hours before cooking-over
night, IL possible. Lay II in kettle OF
cold water when it is TO be cooked,
bring the water to boil slowly, and
let it simmer until the tongue is so
tender that you can pierce it with
fork. A large tongue should be over
the FIRE about four hours. When II has
cooled in the liquid in which it is boiled,
remove the skin with great care, begin
ming at the tip, and stripping 1t back.
Trim away the gristle and fat from the
root Of the tongue before serving IT,
POVERTY CAREs.-Take from the
bone and free from griStle all the scraps
OF cold meat you have in the larder-
chicken, turkey, ham, beef, mutton or
pork, aud it matters not how 1t has
been cooked. Chop it all together till
il is minced fine; 10 every two cups OF
meat put cup of mashed or finely
minced potatoes; season with salt, pep
per and, il you like, leaf or two OF
onion chopped with meat. Make into
fat, round cakes, dip in the beaten yolk
of an egg, and then in pounded bread
crumbs, and fry in plenty OF good meat
dripping or lard. Serve sizzling hot on
a hot platter.
PUREE OF CLANS. -Drain twenty-five
clans, pouring over them one cup OF
cold water. Put the liquor over the
fire, let it boil and skim. Chop the
clans very fine, add them to the LIQUOR;
let boil again and skim. Rub together
one large tablespoonful OF butter and
three OF -four and ada 10 the clans with
a quarter Of cup Of bread crumS; stir
and cook until II thickens. Press
through a sieve; return to the kettle,
and when ready to serve add one pint
of cream. Do not let II stand on the
l., 10
careful about the seasoning as the
clans are salt OF themselves.
