FORBlS TAKES OFFICE
H. S. Clark Is No Longer Deputy H.
teFnal Revenue Collector.
WINTERS MAY HOLD OVER
Some of the Lawyers Think Board
man Can't Hold the Office OF
County AudItor-ChangesI In
Public Officials.

BUTTE, Jan. 1.-The newly-elected
county and township officers will not
come into their New Years gifts until
next Monday. At least one of them will
probably receive surprise, and that is w
L. boardman, the county auditor elect. 1t
is understood that tho moment he as.
sumes the duties of his office quo war.
ranto proceedings will be instituted
against him on the ground that he had
not been a resident of the county for two
years prior to his election, as required by
law. The evidence is undisputed that he
voted in Helena ut the election two years
ago. Lawyers who have expressed them
selves on the question seem to think that
the chances arc that w. ii. Winters will
remain in Office for two years longer.
Besides the auditor, thore are but five
other county Offices that will pass into
new hands on the first Monday i'll Janu-
airy. Mr.. Davies will succeed Miss Hol-
land as county superintendent, and Car
los Warfield will take the place of Patrick
Boland as assessor. John McMurray will
be succeeded by Mr.. Jameson as public
administrator, and Coroner Porter will
turn his Office over to Joseph Richards
The new county surveyor Is Fred p. Gutel-
lus, who was elected to succeed George
Il. Howe.
OF all the new officers elected the as.
SCISSOR Is the only one who has a deputy
snip to give out. Mr.. Warfield has not
yet announced whom he will appoint.
Treasurer Hill, who was reelected, con-
templates no change in his corps of as
sistants, and it is not likely that there will
be any changes of importance in any of
the other Offices except in the Office of
County Attorney Wines. T.. 5. Booth,
one of his present assistants, has been
elected to the legislature, and while he is
serving in that capacity his place in the
county attorneys office will be filled by
ID. Robertson Barlow, n rising young
lawyer. Charles Mattison, the other as
sstant, will continue in the off g until
the return of Horace A. Woods from the
South, when ho will retire and Mr.. Woods
will be appointed in his place. Mr.. Booth
and Mr.. Woods will be Mr.. Vines per-
manent assistants and will prove q pair
OF able prosecutors.
Mr.. Madison has made a reputation as
an able young lawyer during his connec-
tion with the county ATTORNEYS Office, and
retires from it TO open an office and prac-
tice law independently.
There will also be a general change in
the township offices of Justices of the
peace and constables.
Another change in public office which
took place to-day was that of deputy rove
nue. collector, III. 5. Clark turning the
Office over to William Forbis, who was ap-
pointed "A few days ago. The only notIfi-
cation Mr.. Clark received OF tho change
was letter from Mr.. Lyman instructina
him TO turn tho affairs of the off e over
to Mr.. Forbis, which was done without
delay.

How the French Monk Got the Best OF
Thief

How the French Monk Got the Best of n
Thief
AT a monastery in southern France, SAYS
n writer in the Toledo Blade, visitors are
proudly told the story of the exploit of a
monk who was once one of the inmates of
the convent. The monks belong to a
medicant order and send one of their
members periodically on excursions to
collect the tithes.
The hero of the story had been out on
one of these expeditions, and was coming
back to the monastery, his purse we'll
filed, when he was attacked in a corner
of the wood by highwayman, who pointed
a pistol at his head. The monk SUBJ

He pulled off his cloak and threw il

pistol at it and pulled tho trigger. There
was no report.
"What Is the NATTER" asked the monk.

How to Pile Up Wealth in This Rushing
Business Era,

| How to Pile Up Wealth in This flushing
Business Era.
From the London Spectator
The reason of the modern difference in
favor OF business as an instrument of
money making is not far to seek. II is
the enormous growth in the scale of
everything in which business can DO done.
Tho enterprise of merchant. of a con-
tractor, of a mine dealer. even of a shop
keeper, may now cover the whole world,
and may be carried on, moreover, mainly
upon credit. 1t may be doubted whether
except in those transactions which are
called Financial" and which really mean
the taking of heavy brides for pecuniary
support, any one transaction ever yields
quite as much as tho same transaction
would have yielded go years ago, whether,
for example, any cargo ever produces ton
for ton an equal margin of profit; or
whether any consumer in shop paws
quite SO heavy percentage on the goods
he buys.
1t is the magnitude or multiplication of
cargoes which yield fortunes; the thou
sands instead of hundreds of customers
whom clover dealers may induce to spend
money. The new system of rapid turn
over is, of course, precisely the same
thing-the dealer selling four times what
he did, and using only the same capital.
This advantage of scale is almost entirely
wanting to the professional man, for tine
obvious reason that he is hampered by
limitations of time.
There are only go minutes in a hard
worked day, and the seeker after income,
be he as able as he may, or as decided, or
as rapid, must give some of those minutes
to each client or patient or contractor
with difficulty to meet. If he does not,
he loses custom, and with custom income
rapidly slips away. There are, no doubt,
favorite lawyers, doctors and even engi-
neers whose advice is sought at great eX-
pense, when equally good advice is pro-
durable much cheaper; but still the fav-
orites must give their advice and lose
their days IN doing it or they will speedily
be deserted.
Nothing can alter this first law, while
the exagReration of professional fees is
kept down, in the case of solicitors, by
positive statute, in that of doctors by an
etiquette difficult to define or explain
there seems to be no reason why a great
physician should not charge according TO
skill-and in that of barristers and engi-
neers by n competition which, though
never acknowledged, is none the less real
and effective. We can not see what is to
alter this condition of affairs. and do not
believe that, however civilization may de-
velop itself, professional skill will ever
again be the quickest road to largo accu-
mutations.

a NERVY SHARK.

IL Attacked Fisherman Who Objected
to Its Devouring His Catch.
Fisherman Charles A. Byrne was stand
ing in three inches of sea water helping
pull in n net of mullet when he saw a
shark trying To get q meal out of the catch,
says dispatch from st. Augustine. Fla.
lie kicked the shark, but instead of maxi
ing of it turned and circled about him.
Byrnc caught the fish by the tail and
threw it on ITS side toward the shore.
Then il showed fight. IL caught his left
hip, let go, caught the leg again near the
knee and threw Byrne down. The shark
tried to drag his victim to deeper water,
but an incoming breaker rolled man
and fish nearer the shore.
Fisherman Edgar Pomar came TO the
rescue. The shark was underneath Byrne
when he came up, and in wriggling out
cut Byrne's sides with his fins. The fish
snapped his jaws at Pomar and swan
away. Byrnc has IL wounds on his left
leg. They are not serious. A shark
laceratcd the leg of Fisherman Reynolds
last June.
Some folks say sharks never attack hui
man beings. Herman 0elrichs is one.
Three years ago he offered 500 for any
authentic case of a shark biting a man.
This brought him bushels OF argumenta-
tive letters, but he did not have to pay the
500. Later he is said 10 have increased
his offer 10 $4,000. lie has often freely
offered his life by swimming for miles in
water said TO be inhabited by the man
cater.
