Plea sure in Writing.

In those apparently happy days he
seemed to me the most contented man
on earth. At peace with all the world,
crowned with honor and glory, sur
rounded with his happy family, he had
no thought of the morrow. But in an
unexpected hour the crash came.
When he arrived at his place of bust
ness he found his fortune ruined. His
son, the banker, approached him and
said: Father, return home, the bank
has oiled" He was silent, and, after
a moment, calmly said to a friend:
1--WE are all ruined here; the bank has
failed. Ward can not be found. The
securities are locked up in the safe;
he has the key; no one knows where
he is In few moments the general
entered his carriage and was driven
home. He never returned to Wall
street.

The Roulades Of the Past.

In the present atmosphere Of musical
training it is quite certain that vocal
lists do not flourish For one thing the
tendency of modern music is all against
that kind of composition in which sing
ers used most to delight and which pro-
vided them with their principal artistic
diet. The roulades of a day that is dead
were perfect training for the voice and
were really only Objectionable when
they occupied the place of real music.
Now that a different ideal is set up
these excellent exercises have almost
entirely gone out of fashion, and young
and tender voices are ruined or broken
on intellectual compositions that they
cannot grasp or interpret
1t is VIGOROUSLY far easier to make a
silk purse out of sows ear than to
transform a singer into a musician,
and III nine cases out of ten either the
student rebels against the training and
MARBLES his beloved nonsense to the de-
light Of his amateur friends and the
most indulgent section of the public or
develops into an admirable musician
without a scrap of voice. The question
of the battle between vocal and intel
lectual training is too large a question
to be discussed here, but it may be
pointed out that the few artists who
manage by the help of peculiarly hap
Ply combination Of circumstances to
learn the art of intelligent expression
without losing the beauty Of voice that
is the gift of nature need fear no undue
competition. National Review.

CROWS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
A Cunning Birds stratagem to Get Food

Al q hunters talnp.
"a crow is the slickest bird flying

at Williams store at Long Hill Center,
Conn, land to prove it will tell a
circumstance that occurred when a par.
ty of MS were camping at Canaan Noun

"There were an almighty lot Of crows
around the hut we occupied, and one
day | brought out my gun and shot into
a flock All escaped my shot except one,
which was lying on the ground, wound
ed. went to the place and picked the
wounded bird up and found that its left
leg had been broken by the shot. TAX
ing the crow to the hut, amputated the
leg, and taking hot coal from the fire l
burned the stump so that it would not
bleed. The bird was then allowed to go
at liberty, but instead Of leaving the
vicinity of the camp it hung around,
and the boys would feed itwith crumbs
from the table, and it became quite tame.
1t would come limping into camp just
like a veteran after his pension.

be expected at first, but at last its visits
became more frequent. One Of the boys
limited that the bird we were feeding
was not the victim of my gunshot, and
in investigating this theory we found
what a great deceiver the crow is Up
the alley leading to the spot where the
bird had been in the habit Of receiving
its food there hoped one day fine

the bird to show that it was not the

his gun. Raising it and taking careful
aim, he fired, and the bird stretched over

two legs as good and sound as any bird
flying. When it had come into our
camp, it had hitched the other up under
its wing so as to deceive us and secure
food. 1t must have watched us feeding
the wounded bird and saw an opportu-
nifty of securing food by initiating that
one. All crows are so near alike there
is no identifying one, and the only way
we knew ours was by the one leg. When
such a clever imitator attacked US, we
were badly fooled. | do not know what

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
MILES CITY, Feb. 6.-Last night was
one of the worst ever seen in Eastern
Montana. During the afternoon heavy
snowstorm set in, accompanied by very
high wind, and the thermometer dropped
down to about 30 degrees below zero. It
was fearful even in town but doubly SO TO
three unfortunate men who left this city
just after dinner in sleighs to 60 to Nc
Naney's ranch, about 10 miles out, on the
north side of the Yellowstone.
They we're Spencer Henry, William
Moore and Lee Parish, all cowboys. who
are well-known in this section. IL was a
pleasant day when they set out, but
about o'clock 1t commenced to storm,
and when about l. miles from town they
took tho wrong road, following another
sleigh track. The snow was deep and
about O'Clock the horses gave out.
When .5 miles had been covered and
the three men were tired and nearly
frozen from laboring through the heavy
drifts, they came to the conclusion that
they we're lost and determined TO return
to Miles City.
They tied their horses to the sage bush
under tho shelter of cut bank and
started to walk back. Parish was so far
| gone that, after taking about 30 steps, he
said he would go no further but would re-
turn TO the sleigh and remain there.
The other men walked about five miles,
when Moore also gave out aud lay down
to rest, being numb and cold. Henry
could not again arouse him and struck out
down the creek for Yellowstone, knowing
| he could find ranch in the valley. he
plodded along rubbing his face with snow
and wallowing knee deep. About .
o'clock this morning he reached shack
three miles below this, where two men
cared for and fed him. lie came to this
city aud told the a Dove story, and, strange
to say, he is but slightly frozen.
A relief party headed by Sheriff
Hawkins started out to bring in the other
men under the impr ession that both were
dead but at o'clock this evening Moore
came to town on the horses back, having
wandered around until ; o'clock this
afternoon when he reached the ranch OF
Clark Tozer Both his feet are badly
frozen as are also his hands and face, but
how serious is unknown. The hardships
endured by both these men cannot be de
scribed and they both show plainly the
terrible ordeal they passed through. Fher'
is hardly possibility that Parish is alive
as he was not very strong and is undoubt
edly dead, but this will not be known
until the party returns in the morning.

Teller said: II will predict the next adj
ministration, be it democratic, republican
or populist, will see that the Hawaiian ISL
ands are a part of this republic"
Gray upheld the course of Secretary
Herbert, quoting many authorities on IN
ternational law; he was glad TO hear
Teller concede the Americanism OF the
democratic party. But" said Gray,
"that party does not show Its American
ism by being a party to a mean, paltry
conspiracy on a distant island. 1t does
not trail the United States flag in the mire
in order TO exhibit its Americanism. 1t
does not drag poor, dusky queen from
her throne to fiaunt its Americanism. 1t
seeks other ways of showing its sturdy
American spirit"
Platt read from President Cleveland's g
message in 1886, urging the Importance oil
close relations with Hawaii and saying
the establishment of a a cable should not
be overlooked. In 1883. Cleveland again
urged on congress the desirabili,y of es-
tabishing a submarine cable to Hawaii.
President Harrison had urged a similar
action.
Butler asked If Hawaii was willing the
United States should build the cable.
Perkins said he happened 70 he able to

was called on by the minister OF foreign
affairs of the Hawaiian government, who
urged the great desire of that government
