MONEY FOR THE FUND
Mr.. Coleman Is Meeting With En-
couragement in Great Falls.
HE EXPECTS ONE THOUSAND
Only a Few Business Men Have
Been Interviewed. But They All
Seem to See the Good That
Is Sure to Follow.

Great Falls, Dec. III. ]. Coleman,
who is in charge of the subscriptions
TO the silver fund for Montana, was
seen by a Standard reporter tonight
and in reply to the question as to what
success he was having in the city, said:
''Great Falls people are doing them
selves proud in this matter. Owing to
II being near the first of the month the
committees appointed to assist me
were all busy with the monthly col
lections and other work necessary at
this time. so we were late getting
started In fact. q have hardly started
the canvass yet. but my list already
shows subscriptions aggregating more
than $500. AS much more will Ibe raised
for the asking.
'T have been very nicely treated by
your people, perhaps for the reason
that they will appreciate the immedi-
ate benefit Great Falls would derive
from bill to restore silver to its
proper place. Your merchants, so far
as I have met them, have contributed
more than any I have met outside of
Butte-that is. the amounts have been
aarger-and / expect the total list will
run from $500 to $1,000. You can see
from my list of those whom have met
that they are all ready TO chip in."

Having completed its share OF work on
the revised version of the Apocrypha,
the Cambridge University Press Is about
to begin a large addition or the Septua-
gint version of the old testament, which
will take many years to complete. the
readings of all extant Greek uncial man
uscripts and fragments win be given, as
well as the evidence of the old Latin.
Egyptian. Syro Haxaplar and Armenian
versions, and the quotations In Philo'
Josephus and the Christian fathers. The
editors will be Rev. A. f. Brooke of
Kings and n. Mclean of Christ's. The

English mt Court.

The queen speaks English to Prince
Henry OF Battenburg, and even TO the
grand duke of Hesse and the duchess OF
Coburg-Gotha, and the prince of Wales
writes almost always in English to his
mother and to his other relatives living
an England. German is only spoken In
conversation with German and Austrian
ambassadors. and during an audience to
German or Austria subjects. With all
other diplomatists French Is always spo-
ken. But in intercourse with the Spanish
royal family, German is nearly always
the Language spoken.

Tam O'Shanter's ride through the
midnight wind with the horrible hob
goblins pursuing him was only a bad
dream, or nightmare, which anybody Is
liable to experience as the result of over
eating or an attack of biliousness or in
digestion. To avoid such disagreeable
experiences one or two of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets should be taken after a
too hearty meal and the action OF the
stomach will thereby be quickened and
the meal promptly digested.
Then too If Nature be assisted little
now and then in removing offending
matter from the stomach and bowels you
will thereby avoid a multitude of dis
tressing arrangements and diseases, and
will have less frequent need for your
doctors services.
OF all known agents for this purpose,
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the best.
Their secondary effect is to keep the
bowels open and regular, not to further
constipate, as is the case with other pills.
Hence, their great popularity with suf.
ferers from habitual constipation, piles
fold arrangements.
The Pellets cure biliousuess, sick and
bilious headache. dizziness, costiveness
or constipation, sour stomach, loss Of ap
petite, coated tongue, indigestion, OF
dyspepsia, windy belchings, heart
burn" pain and distress after eating
and kindred arrangements of the liver
stomach ard bowels. One little Pei
let I" is a laxative, two are mildly ca
thartic.

let us say in January-his successor,
elected in the following November and
taking his seat in December. draws
pay for all the time from the moment
that the angel of death called his pre-
decessor to his final account. The capi-
toll building at Washington Is overrun
with appointees, at high salaries. that
are not needed. An experienced WASH
ington correspondent recently esti-
mated that 100000 annually could be
saved by dispensing with appointees
and luxuries without which the public
service would not suffer. Even IL this
should turn out to be an overestimate
II is certain that very large saving
cauld be and ought to be made.
The truth is that the government Is
looked upon as good thing by the
politicians. and the Holmans and other
economists are coughed down as
cheese parers" who would lower the
dignity of our great government by
making IL parsimonious. The more Of
fees there are the more patronage
there Is. The candidate who offers to
promise economy as an inducement to
elect him is laughed at as a tenderfoot
He is advised that he cannot have too
many appointments with which to gain
the favor of congressman. The clerk,
sergeant-at-arms, doorkeeper and post
master only appoint their subordinates
nominally.
BarnacIeism RACES in the senate as
wildly as IL does in the house. The
senate is notorious for never yielding
patronage. The two branches of con-
gress are jointly and co-ordinately re-
sponsfble.
Only a few examples of extravaganza
will be cited dn this article. Two post
offices. each with a postmaster ana
corps of clerks, are maintained at the
capitol. The delivery of the mail at
both ends could be accomplished from
one office. Indeed. the work might be
done from the Washington city office
at a great saving. All of the four Of
fees we have named in this connection,
and which are to be filled to-day. have
assistants largely in excess OF the ac-
tual requirements.
There are doorkeepers enough to
make a large police force for smart
town. They are paid fancy annual sal
aries, an dior at least half the time
they have nothing to do. Frequently
two of them serve at one door at the
same time. with reserve forces to take
their places when the sessions OF either
house are protracted. Not a theateI
| doorkeeper in the length and breadth
| of the land gets as much money as one
of these congressional 'doorbangers"
| though, of course, the theater man has
much the greater responsibility.
Boys acting as pages are paid $z.5'
a day, though there are hundreds OF
equally intelligent and reliable boys oi
the same age working In private occu'
pations and rendering more service, a.
So a week. These are but few items
| but they illustrate the extravaganza
that prevails throughout the capitol

FARMER BIDWELL's GEESE.
He Tried to Domesticate wild Fowl, But
Instinct Was Too Strong.


From the Minneapolis journal.
A farmer named Bidwell, living II
miles from Minneapolis, beyond the
Minnesota bottoms, tells remarkable
story about some domesticated Cana
dian geese that are his property. Mr.
Bidwell is in Minneapolis to-day with
load of poultry, and when the sub
Ject Of geese shooting was broached at
Kennedy's this morning he had a few
very interesting remarks to make about
wild geese.
Two years ago." he said, my wife's
brother. Fred Roach, came up from
FLORIDA to visit me. Among the things
he brought along was a setting of 10
Canadian goose eggs. He wanted to
find out how the birds would do in
captivity, and 1 was a little interested
in the problem. too. L set the eggs
under a big old tame goose and she
Matched out eight of them. Two got
KILLED one way and another before they
were very old, but the other six reach
ed maturity. Last spring, when the
flight of geese was going north, 1 no.
ticed that my gray fellows seemed a
good deal interested in them. One day
/ saw the lot rise up and circle several
times When a flock of wild birds was
going over. so clipped all their wings
and made sure of them for the time be-
ing. / meant to clip them again this
autumn. but somehow in the hurry of
fall work I overlooked 1t. Besides, the
geese seemed to have got over all idea
of flying away and 1 felt pretty secure
of them. Just about a week ago ! was
fixing up a haystack that had been
blown over by the wind, when i noticed
a big flock of wild geese coming from
the north. They were away up in the
air, and going at a terrific rate. A
flock OF about 60 of my own geese were
feeding a short distance from where
was at work / did not notice the big
flock going south after one glance at
them. until. hearing their cries close at
hand, I saw that they had decoyed to
my tame flock and were circling about
over them. They had made about two
Dig sweeps, filling the air with shaSp
calls, when my domesticated Cana
dams let go an answering cry and rose
up straight In the air. Two of the tame
geese went with them, and the rest.
after a numbering attempt at flight.
settled down to cart hagain. The birds
that had been hatched from wild eggs.
with their two tame companions, after
making a couple of little circles, went
straight for the flock and the entire
lot headed south together. / ought 10
have clipped them again this fal, but
i didn't. and the birds are gone"
1t will be interesting to see whether
Mr.. Bidwelis birds return to the farm
next spring. Bogardus. in his book on
shooting. refers TO the easy domesti-
eating of wild geese, and cites in
stances of their having gone south In
the autumn only to return with the
spring flight to the home of theiI
youth.
