A Monument to Folly.

The Montana capitol commission can
learn how not to do II by visiting the
famous state building at Albany. On
that pile of masonry nearly thirty mil
lion dollars have been spent, and spe-
cial commission is now trying to find
out how many millions more will be
needed for its completion.
Changing administrations have en-
ployed new architects whose improve
ments have resulted in a complete de-
parture from the original plans and the
New York capitol, magnificent In many
respects, is a sorry failure in some of
its essential features. The building has
an imposing tower which, however,
cannot be carried to the proper height
because its foundation is too weak. The
lofty ceilings in and near the assembly
chamber lack good support; the COM
mission reports in favor of a decided
curtailing of designs for unfinished
parts of the building in view of the
vast expense involved in the present
plans.
Connecticut built for about five mil
lion dollars a state capitol which Is In
every respect one of the most success
full public buildings in the United
States. Montana ought to get a hand
some capitol for a million dollars.

THE PATHS WEM4RE

A foot path is the most human
thing in inanimate nature. Even as
the print of his thumb reveals the old
offender to the detectives, so the path
tells you the sort of feet that wore it.
Like the human nature that created it,
it starts out to so straight when
strength and determination shape it's
course. and it goes crooked when
weakness lays it out. Until you begin
to study them you can have no notion
of the differences of character that
exist among foot paths. One line Of
trodden earth seems to you the same
as another. But look! Is the path
you are walking on fairly straight
from point to point, yet DETECTED to
avoid short rises and falls, and is it
worn to grade? That is, does it plough
a deep way through little humps and
hillocks something as a street is cut
down to grade? If you see this path
before you, you may be sure that it is
made by the heavy shuttle of working
mems feet. A path that waivers from
side to side, especially if the turns be
from one bush to another, and that is
only light trail making an even line
of wear over the inequalities Of the
ground-that is the path that children
make. The path made by the business
mantle man who is anxious to get
to his work at one end of the day, and
anxious to get to home at the other
is generally a good piece Of engineer
ing. This type Of man makes more
paths in this country than he does in
any other. He carries his intelligence
and his energy into every act of life,
and even in the half unconscious bus
mess of making his own private trail
he generally manages to find the line
of least resistance in getting from one
given point to another.

and three times he examined the
trough.
IT was an absorbed locker on i'm
patient to see what would be done.
Soon lively Tapping of the ears in
dicated the dawning of light. He
went and smelled of the tree trunk
which had rolled from under the
trough. I thought for moment that
he was going to put it in its place
again. But it was not, as [ soon IN
derstood, the end which ran over dis
turbed his mind, but the end which
he found it impossible to fill. Raising
the trough, which he then allowed to
rest for an instant on one of his huge
feet, he rolled away the second sup
porting log with his trunk, and then
set his trough down SO that it rested
both ends at the ground. He then
returned to the pump, and completed
his task. "-Mancheste Times.

An ELEPHANTS SENSE.

In India domesticated elephants are
usually given drink from large wood
en- troughs filed with we'll water by
means of pump, and it is commonly
an elephant that fills this trough.
Every morning he goes regularly to
his task. While visiting a friend at
his fine residence in India, a CORES
pondent of a paper saw a large ele-
plant engaged in pumping such a
trough full of water. He continues:
Gin passing noticed that one of the
two tree trunks which supported the
trough at either end had rolled from
it's place, SO that the trough, still ele
waited at one extremity, would begin
to empty itself as soon as the water
reached the leavel of the top at the
other end, which lay on the ground.
I stopped to see if the elephant would
discover anything wrong Soon the
water began to run off at the end
which lost its support. The animal
showed signs of perplexity when he
saw this; but, as the end nearest him
lacked much of being full, he continu-
ed to pump. Finally, seeing that the
water continued to pass off, he left
the pump handle and began to con-
slider the phenomenon He seemed
to find it difficult to explain. Three
times he returned to his pumping,

Carlyle wasn't a man Of business,

A laugh is worth a hundred groans

To succeed, work hard, earnestly

Efforts in behalf Of temperance will
fail signally as long as their advocates
endeavor to suppress the saloon with
out offering something as attractive
in it's place. Attacking the saloon is
beginning the fight from the wrong
point. Let the warfare be waged
against the ignorance, the Indifference
and the greed which render the dens
of the tenement district possible, and
the saloon will perish in the fray.
