Butte, June 5.-The city council to-
night waded through a good deal OF
business Of a routine nature. The may
or made no appointment of chief Of
police, and things in that department
will continue for another week at least
in their present unsatisfactory condi-
tion.
4 petition from James ID. McClernan
and L. Frank asking that franchise
be granted them under the name of
the Metropolitan Telegraph & Messen-
ger company was referred to the ju-
dietary committee The fire marshars
report for May was read. and on mo-
tion Of Harrington was referred to
the fire committee instead of following
the usual course. The report showed
that nine alarms were answered dur
ing the month. The fires entailed a
loss of $40. covered by insurance
amounting to s3.400. The alarms were
responded to by % volunteers, 13 OF
whom were allowed pay to the amount
Of 1915.
Byrne called attention to the num-
ber of volunteers who drew pay dur
ing the month. He said: "One OF the
principal objections to George Lapp
came from the volunteers. because he
would not allow them to loot the city
treasury, and l believe that he was
right. The regular paid fire depart
ment is amply sufficient to extinguish
ordinary fires. yet the report shows
that IS volunteers were paid for at
tending a fire, and / will guarantee
that that fire did not last five min
utes."

detail that the expenses of the health
department for May was $557.65, whica
included a charge of $14 for a mortu-

NOBLE SENTIMENTS.

Grand Army Men A-aed to Recognise
Old Advsrssriss Ne Brothers.
DENVER May a-Befsrs the Grand
Army snoamp pment Of the department Of
Colorado and Wyoming convened yester-
day, there wss much discussion among
the veterans In attendance on the recon-
mendation by Department Commander
Rollins for the sppoin ntment Of . commit
tee to prepare memorial to the next ma
tional enoampment In favor OF extending
fraternal Aid to Confederate veterans.
The suggestion was generally received
with favor.
The impression that General Rollins
favored extending pensions TO Confeder-
ate veterans Is incorrect. What no pro
posed was the establishments Of o home
for INDECENT and suffering soldier vet
Grams. His exact words were a. follows:
Tho war 10 over; We are, l may almo't
say. for the 1rst time o reunited people.
This nation Is great enough, intelligent
enough, sufficiently advanced In all that
goes to make up what we call civilisation
when victorious 10 be generous. and even

THE south. OF ct least parts OF IL, Is not
tho homo. but rather the stopping place OF
many poor, crippled, broken.down old
men. They were brave soldiers, not the
leaders. but In the ranks OF an army
whose record for bravery and soldierly con-
duct cast no stain upon our fame as ma
tion among nations. True. they were
not our comrades In the Grand Army
sense, but they are our brothers in the
American sense
"a home somewhere In the sunny south,
where these old soldiers can be cared for,
sheltered, clothed, and In sickness nursed,
will cost but little. comparatively. 1t will
soon be too late to be generous There Ia
but one place where o movement Of this
kind can start, and that Is In the Grand

be JOY as long as it lasts. White ones
could be done in the same way, using
canvas and pulling it out after the W york

the bottom in white. 1t is very pretty.

venience in eating soon became apparent.
The origin of the spoon is uncertain.
1t must have been invented at very an.
cient date, for it is found among people
that have never come into contact with
civilization. The necessity of having
some implement for dipping water seems
to have led first to the invention of the
calabash, or the use of the cocoanut-
shell, and later on to the spoon.
We must wait four thousand years be-
fore we find the fork. Or, as French
writer on table etiquette has said,
"from the creation of the world to the
beginning of the seventeenth century
man ate only with his fingers" This
is, however, a mistake of four hundred
years; for we find forks as early as the
thirteenth century, when they are men
toned as being kept for special pur-
poses. Thus, John, Duke of Brittany,
is said to have used fork to pick up
"soppys," and Piers Graveston had three
for eating pears with.-Lee j. Vance, in

aprons, feather-stitched across the
bottom, with bits left from my other
work.
How much did these aprons cost
apiece1 l suppose they did cost more
than quarter of dollar, but | think
35 cents would cover the entire cost of
each. l haven't used ribbons, because
| wanted to make the money 90 as far
as possible. think it is good scheme
to make good many things similar, for
you get used to your work and can get
along faster. Then if YOU are doing
machine work it does not take long to
make three or four aprons on the
machine and you can do the embroidery
at odd times and will hardly feel it.
