Remarlkablc Story Told by the Son OF tho
California millionaire.

Remarkable Story Told by the Son OF tho
California millionaire.
Charles Fair, the only male heir to the
late James &. Fair. sat in the billiard
room of the Palace hotel talking to
some pioneer friends Of his father,
"Do you know, Charley, that book
of "reminiscences of your father would
sell like hot cakes? You ought to put
the data in the hands Of some publisher
and let him issue the volume. What
do you think about it?"
The son smiled and looked up at the
talker, as he replied:
"Why don't you do it?"
"Mc do it!' exclaimed the man with
the publishing ideas. II didn't know
him."
"Neither did IT, answered. Charles.
Nobody knew him. I don't think q
man ever lived who enjoyed his con-
fidcnce. can assure you that he was
the same strange man to me that he
was to others, and his iron rule to keep
lis own counsel was never broken.
"lYhencvcr lie did fall into a con-
fdential-nnd chatty mood it was to jest
about something or to theorizc. I re-
call story he once told Alfred f..
Davis, his old partner. The story
have in mind was woven into a serious
conversation, and he never cracked a
smile over it. Before proceeding, how
ever, I must tell you that in the Com
stock mines ladder goes down the
side of each shaft, and every twelfth
rung is iron, SO as to give the whole
additional strength. Well, father said
to him:
- Davis, do you know was almost
killed once in the Grow Point mine2'
How was that, Jim?' ..*
""This way. T was looking down
the shaft to see if everything was all
right and lost my balance. Being un-
able to recover myself, I toppled over
and fell-ycsx Davis, fell. I must have
gone about q hundred feet when it
suddenly struck me that if didn't be-
gin doing something pretty quick I
would 50 clear through to hudes. SO
] reached out and grabbed 4 rung OF
the ladder. It broke and grabbed the
next. That broke, too, but ! reached
for the third, whch also gave way, and
the next, and the next, and so on, but
it broke my fall, and in about five min
utes I reached the bottom, little
Jared up, but perfectly sound.'
"Davis looked at him out of the cor.
ners of his eyes few seconds and said
"'What did you do, Jim, when you
came to the twelfth rung? Did you
grasp at that, too?'
"'Why, L missed it. Do you think !
wanted to smash everything that was
in the mine?'" m.@. ....
When Charles finished his story he
was laughing more heartily than any
one else III the crowd, and could not
be pre'aincd upon to recall anything
more that had come from the lips OF
his famous financial father.-San Fran.

w. II. Graves, superintendent Of
irrigation Oh the Grow reservation,
came in Saturday night, accompan-
led by his wife and little daughter.
and departed for Helena to attend
the United States court as 4 witness
in the Charles l'ritchctt case. His
daughter, Helen, who is only 6 years
Of age, had quite an exciting cXpcr-
fence on Saturday Of last week. Just
before the SNOW storm. Her fathers
camp is on the Big Horn and tho
little one started to ride to the mis-
sion, sixteen miles distant rs she
had been accustomed to riding over
the country unattended her parents
did not give themselves any uneasi
ness The little girl reached the
mission in safety, but on her rctnrn
lost the trail and night coming on
was compelled to camp out. She
had always been a great tavpritc
with the Crow indians. and when
her parents, becoming alarmed over
her prolonged absence, started out to
look for her, they were joined by the
entire Crow tribe. The little tot
was found campcd in Il coulec, where
she had made herself as comfortable
as possible under the circumstances
She WAS not afraid in the least, she
said. because she knew that when
DAYLIGHT came she would be all right
and could easily find her way home.
For a child Of that age, it certainly
was plucky thing to do and showed
more coulncsS than would be found
in good many grown persons. For
tunatclv, the weather was mild but
if her experience had occurred 4 day
later thc child would have undoubt-
cdly frozen to DEATH She was fast
asleep when found, about daylight,
but had retained possession of her
pony Billings Gazette.

Confronted BY Condition.

The democratic New York Sun is
convinced that lack Of revenue is the
main source Of governmental difficult
ties, and does not hesitate to say 50.
1t contends that the only remedy for
the trouble is new revenue lcgisla-
tion Of such character as will raise
sufficient funds for national neccssl-
ties, irrespective Of its incidental
protective nature. Our able and es-
teemed democratic contemporary re-
fers to the situation as follows:
'The first necessity Of the day is
federal revenue, in order that the
government may meet the deficiency
imposed upon it by the rascally in
diligence in theory practiccd by
President Cleveland and his licuten-
ant, William L. Wilson. Congress is
bound to provide revenue. It must
raise money to defend the country
against the bankruptcy threatened
by the policy Of the administration,
just as it would have to provide re-
sources to defend the country against
the invasion Of Il foreign enemy.
GAS to the details Of how that
revenue is to be provided, they must
be settled by debate. I a democrat
can be found again to flout the ma
tional democratic platform Of protec-
tion is robbery and tariff for rcven-
ue only and plead for the dscrim-
ination which will abandon revenue
from wool for the protection Of the
wool manufacturers, and il the re-
publicans can be won over to that
policy, wool will continue free and
the manufactures will be protected
and the democratic platform will re-
main suppressed. But unless this
can be done, the republicans are
likely to put a duty on wool, even
though such duty is an essential de
mocratic principle; and if a revenue
bill goes to the president with that
feature, he will have to drop his per-
sonal prcjudices and sign it.
| "Ridiculous as it sounds for the
United States at this period Of their
existence, we are on the straight
road to bankruptcy. The situation
is such that with congress in rcpub-
lican control, president Of the OPP
position must accept the revenue bill
which is laid before him. There is a
deficiency in the national revenue,
and we must have money, 1t is d
condition which confronts us, not a
theory"

THE DEFENDER GROUNDED.
She Was FIoated Uninjured, but WIN Not
Race Today.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 10. The De-
fender went ont for a spin, and as she was
returning to the harbor ran aground hard
and fast on the spit which runs out from
Goat island. The tide was ON the cbb, and
after several trials 1t became apparent
that the sloop could not be freed before
high tide, and she lay in an easy position
where she struck bottom.
The tide was cbbing fast, and when,
after futile attempts TO free the sloop, IL
became apparent that the crew must wait
for the next tide, they busted themselves
in laying plans for floating their boat.
These were put into effect soon after.
when the tide was well on toward flood.
The men were sent out on the boom to
try to cant the sloop Off Their combined
weight so FAR aft was what was needed,
and tho plan worked oxccllently. The De
fender floatcd clear of the spit, and at
once proceeded up the harbor TO her an
choragc. 1t is thought the sloop is unin-
jured, as she grounded easily, and the
tide did not leave her high enough 20 cause
any strain Her bottom will, however, be
examined by diver.
