Sketch of Carter's Life.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 20.-Charles l..
Carter was about 80 years Old and was
the eldest son of the late H. A. p.
Carter, ex-Hawaiian minister to the
United States. He was born in Homo
lulu and finished his education at the
Ann Arbor, Mich, law school. He was
married at Ann Arbor after his gradua.
ton and returned to the islands. He
took a leading part in the overthrow of
Queen Liliuokalani and incurred the
bitter hostility of Wilcox and other
royalists. He was one of the COM
m%issioners sent to Washington by the
provisional government early in 1898.
He made a brief visit to Seattle and
Puget Sound six weeks ago on business
connected with his fathers estate. He
was a member of the new legislature.
He was a very handsome man, an ath-
lete, a giant in stature and as brave as a
ion. He leaves a wife and three
children, His brother, George R.
Carter, is Hawaiian consul at Seattle
and he has a sister here. Carter was
strongly i'll favor of hanging Wilcox
and other royalist plotters and his rela-
tives think he was selected as a victim
by these plotters.

MRS. HAMLET'S SOLILOQUY.

To bloom or not to bloom, that is the question.
Whether it's nobler in the mind to suffer
The sings and foldings Of outrageous skirts
Or take NJ arms and legs against our troubles,
And by opposing end them? To scorch, to race
No more. and by a race to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That modesty is heir to. It's contamination
Devoutly to be wished. To scorch, to race,
To race-perchance to f~all-aye, there's the
rub,
For in that blooming fall what rents may come
To mar my outer garments! There's the re-
spect
That makes calamity of so long life,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of
style,
The oppressor's wrong, the loud girls con-
tulnely,
The tangle of despised skirts, the lingerie dis
play,
The Indifference of dudes, and then the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When she herself might a compromise make
With a pair of leggings? Who would petticoats
wear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of some untold mishap.
The unfelled seam, the unsUbstantial cloth.
Which tailors use, puzzles the will
And makes us rather wear those clothes We
have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus modesty maxi towards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied Ger with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment,
With this regard, their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.

Nothing to Quarrel About.
2 I.

>A<h Ah-As
The cozy little parlor of the Haystens
looked very homelike and peaceful that
morning. But appearances are deceitful.
The beautiful Mrs. Haysten was in tears
on the costly parlor divan, and her hus-
band was pacing the floor, with anger
written on every lineament of his hand
some face.
They were at the height of their eight
eenth quarrel.
II.
Gregory Haysten grew visibly more de-
pressed. "A fierce light Of anger cleaned
from his brown eyes.
Suddenly an idea seized him.
Amelia, " he said in softened tones,
IF you'll let up on this racket, I'll buy
you q new Dress"
No response greeted these ~magnanimous
words.
CHAPTER III.
Five minutes of silence elapsed.
Then Amelia looked up into his face.
She smiled.
CHAPTER Nv.
The reconciliation was complete when
she flung herself into his arms and said in
melting tones:
Nov that hat quarrel is over we have
nothing else in the world to quarrel about,
have we, dearest?"
NO.. said her husband, embracing
her. 1--WE have nothing to quarrel about. y
"You don't act as though you meant
what you said," she replied, looking at
him archly.
Il do" he said. I'VE have nothing to
quarrel about"
"Of course not" she responded gladly.
but why don't you say so more enthusi-
astically? Now, honestly, do you really
understand that there is nc occasion to
Quarrel?'
Didn't I say so'' replied Mr.. Haysten,
somewhat emphatically.
Mrs. Haysten eyed him with distrust.
Gregory" she said, II am astonished
that you insist upon being perverse in
this matter. 1t is true that we have moth
ing to quarrel about"
''Of purse it is"
"There! You're hooking me-" said his
wife, with tears of indignation in her
eyes.
II anti"
"YOu are!'
CHAPTER ".
"Oh, I'm a liar, am II" said Mr.. Hay
stem hotly.
"Gregory," shrieked his wife, chow
dare you use such words to your wife!
You are infamous, and her utterance be-
came choked with sobs, "simply infamous,
and I'm going home to mamma on the
next train. "-Chicago Record.

Mrs. Pepys' Temper.

Being at supper, my wife did say
something that caused me to oppose her
in. She used the word devil, which
vexed me, and, among other things, I
said / would not have her to use that
word, upon which she took me up most
scornfully, which, before As'1well and
the rest of the world, I know not nova
days how to check, as would hereto
fore, for less than that would have
made me strike her. So that I fear
without great discretion I shall go near
to lose, too, my command over her, and
nothing do it more than giving her this
occasion of dancing and other pleasures,
whereby her mind is taken up from her
business and finds other sweets besides
pleasing of nee, and so makes her that
she begins not at all to take pleasure in
me or study to please me as heretofore

Justice Fox sat in Judgment yesterday
morning upon the case of the state of
Montana VS.. Slaughter-House Mike, alias
Charlie Hall, for an assault and battery
committed upon tho person of one Charles
Crounch. The trouble occurred in Hec
McLean's boarding house on Commercial
street. Crounch was a star boarder with
one of the roomers, and was eating his
dinner, when Slaughter-Hou Mike
called for the dishes op which the meal
was served. Crounch was not ready 10
let the dishes go, and Nike started
to take them. A quarrel ensued,
Mike got Crounch's head in chancery
and punched it severely. Crounch got
Mikes thumb in his mouth and finished
his dinner by chewing on that. A colored
cook grabbed a razor and a water pitcher
and was about to assist Crounch when
somebody else came on the scene and
knocked her down. BY this time the men
had fought IL out. The court imposed q
fine of $40 and costs upon Mike and in
default of payment he languished last
night in Jail and will go to Deer Lodge
to-day, unless friends come to his rescue.

brunette. is years old and has been taking .
special course at a high school. She was quiet
and wen behaved and her relatives who are
prominent In religious circles scon az the idea
OF an elopement. -
It is probable the press report is in
error in giving Butte as former place
Of residence. A thorough canvass OF that
city fails to find anybody who Is related
to the missing lady, as will be seen from
the following dispatch from tho Butte
Office.
Nothing concerning Miss Lamont or her
parents could DO ascertained In Butte tonight,
