Helgoland SOup.

What do the Helgolanders do with
their birds? Some are sent away to
the Hamburg market, and the rest
kept for home consumption. Roast
ing before a slow fire, with the trail
on, over toast, is practically an un-
known art, or at least one rarely
practiced. Everything goes into the
pot for soup. "Trosselsoup" is an
institution much lauded. Mr.. Gatke
tells us how it should be prepared.
Take care to commit some 40 or so
thrushes, according to the require
ments of the family, to the soup
pot, and do not have the fattest
birds drawn, and if the cook is a
true artist, no one will fail to ask a
second helping. A favorite Helgo-
land dish is kittiwake pie. In No
vember and December these gulls
are very fat, and when prepared in
Helgolandish fashion are considered
a delicaoy, although a somewhat
fishy one The gray crow is also a
very favorite dish. - Chambers

It Was a Close Call,

"In ordinary conversation no one
would detect that I naturally stutter,"
said A, L. Benedict at the Normandie,
"but such is the fact. When I was a
small boy, l suffered badly, but over
came the linguistic defect sufficiently
to talk smoothly, as a rule. When 1 con-
verse with a man who suffers, how
ever, 1 cannot control myself, and / al
ways stutter as badly as he does. This
fact came very nearly getting me in Sc
rious trouble a few days ago in the
mountains Of West Virginia. I was in a
hotel, talking smoothly as I am now,
when a sufferer joined the crowd. He
listened for awhile, then entered into
conversation with me. At once I began
to stutter. His face turned red, then
white, and finally he could stand it no
longer.
"Arising from his chair, he began
taking off his coat, saying: SIS sstr-
s~.s-stranger, I c-c-ccca-ca-can't tt talk
to s-s-s-s-snit yo', but I k-k-k-kin f-f-f
fight LII like w-w-wildcats. S-s-s-
strip!
81 was SO excited that the impedi-
ment III my speech became SO prominent
that I could not explain, and he would
not have believed me if I had, SO there
was nothing to do but prepare for a
fight, in which would have been placed
at a very decided disadvantage. At that
moment the town marshal entered the
room and arrested us both. I explained
matters to the mayor, and he released
lis both, letting me have an hours start
to get out of town before the stutterer
was turned loose. "-Washington Star.

OF the bolting in St. Louis, the
Post Dispatch, a Democratic sheet,
says:
The little band of patriots who
refused to put on yoke of Wall street
and the p%lutocracy, preferring to
sever their connection with a party
which is no longer the party Of
liberty, but of oppression, deserve
the hearty admiration of the free
people. They are men-men to be
broud of.
What have these men done? For
the sake of principle and of the
people whom they represent, they
have turned their backs upon a
party-once grand, but now debas-
ed by a thirty years s%urfeit Of
power-whose vast organizations,
backed by the moneyed interests of
the country, was able to reward them
for wavering and treachery by wealth
and position.
They have turned their backs upon
possible preferment and lifelong
associations. They face the future,
not knowing if it has in store for
them anything but defeat and failure.
They prefer the chanceso of c%ontumely
and the certainty o fbeing branded as
renegades, to staying in a party
whose entire traditions have been
reversed and which has been sold
out, body and soul, to the Shylocks
of the world.
They have done a more heroic act
than the French States General did
when it revolted in a body, leaving
bishops and mobiles, to take its stant
as the peoples champion.

IN A JUNGLE STORM.
Where the Rain Comes Down Like Bull
lets and All Is Darkness.

i've dhu all Is DdThhtsss
People who have never been in a
jungle talk of the sky as a painter
talks of the horizon or u seafaring
man of the offing-as if when you
wanted to see it you only need use
your eyes. But in the jungle you
don't see the sky-at least you only
see a few scraggy patches of it over
head through the openings in the
twigs and leaves. Neither do you feel
the wind blowing, nor get burned
and dazzled by the sun, o even see
that luminary, except by momentary
glimpses about midday, from which
it follows that a jungleman does not
usually pretend to be weatherwise.
II he does, he is even a greater hum
bug than the rest of the weather
prophets. On the afternoon about
which we are speaking l remember
setting forth on my walk in the still
glow of the tropical calm and Won
dering rather at the intense stiffness
of the surrounding forest. Then the
air grew cooler and the green of the
foliage in front seemed to deepen,
and presently there was a sound as
of a giant waterfall in the distance.
Waterfalls do not, however, grow
louder every second, whereas the
nose in front did so. Then there was
a loud, angry growl as of a dozen
lions. A minute more and the whole
jungle began to roa as if 30 squad
rons of heavy cavalry coming
up at a gallop. Then came q drop of
rain and a peal of thunder which
seemed to make the world stop.
Then the storm began. The sky
above darkened; the trees clattered;
the brushwood beneath Kissed and
bowed itself. A deluge of raindrops
blotted out the narrow view. Down
it came, soaking through the densest
leaves under which one fed for
refuge, striking the grass and sand
with millions of dull thuds, dashing
furiously against the leaves as if
they were SO many hostile shields,
streaking the air with innumerable
perpendicular lines and hurting it,
self down with the force of bullets.
In such a downpour n may as we'll
walk and get wet as stand still and
get wet. Unfortunately one did not
know where to walk to. The cir
cumbendibus system" presupposes
the fact that the wagon wheels and
bullock tracks can be seen and noted,
but when the cart track is no longer
a cart track, but "all turned to
rushing waters, "such tracks cannot
be seen, and unless you have a pock-
ct compass you may as well try to
fly as to get back to where you came
from. When one reads of travellers
lost in the backwoods, they always
steer by the sun and probably very
badly, but when there is no sun
what are you to do?-Current Liter

Six republican papers of Montana
have unfurled the Mckinley banner
from their editonal columns and a
number of others arealready waver-
ing between doubts and fears. And
the locality of these is such as carry
the belief that they express the will
of their constituency. 1t is indeed
surprising in mining camps of
Montana how strong is the faith in
McKinleyism v e along with its
disgusting single standard. If the
coming conventions place two silver
candidates in the field, against Nc
Kinley alone on the gold side, we
shall not be able to poll the silver
strength of Montana, much less that
of the states farther east. For silver
men will look at this question with d
business eye. If they are left to
chose between two silver candidates,
as against Mckinley, they will see
that the silver cause is lost; that
the army of b%imetallists is divided;
that the friends of silver on election
day, instead of turning their fire upon
a common enemy will only shoot
each other down. Thus will the
friends of s%ilver's cause be disheart-
ened by lack of concentration,
and desertions from the ranks, even
in Montana, will number up in
the thousands.
We shall o see if silver men
are equal to the emergency and able
to make the necessary sacrifice. If
they nominate two silver men for the
Office of president there is no hope.

Precedents For Title Hunters,

The objection raised by a section
of the American press against the
frequency of marriages between
Yankee ''millionairesses" and Brit
ish and other European "pauper'
noblemen recalls the circumstance
that in the seventeenth and eight
zenith centuries it was the custom
for American gentlemen, descend
ants of those old English families
who had escaped the Elizabethan
and Caroline prosecutions and set
tied in the States, to come to Eng
land in search of wives.
Occasionally, too, the American
girl found her husband in the old
country. Thus in 1894 the three love-
ly Misses Carroll of Carrollton, Bal
timore, made their debut in London
society and took the town by storm.
They did more; they carried off the
best prizes in the matrimonial mar
ket of the period by becoming re-
spectively Duchess of Leeds, Mar.
chioness Of Wellesley and Baroness
Stafford. The most beautiful of 1.-THE
three graces, as they were popular
ly called, however, first married Sir
FELTON, Harvey and only became
Duchess of Leeds in 1922. She died
in 1874. These ladies may be said to
have been the pioneers of those fair
daughters of Columbia who have Sc
lected titled mates in the ''old coun-
tries. "-London Chronicle.

Silver democrats Of Illinois are
working to nominate Judge Nc
Connell for the presidency. Here is
a man of rare worth. He has been
known for a number of years as an
advocate of bimetallism, and only a
year ago distinguished himself by
reslgning from the presidency of the
lroquois Club of Chicago because he
entertained silvery views. His rcsig-
nation however was not accepted,
and many of the members of said
club were turned to his way of think
ing by his manly exposition of the
question. He is Altgeld's man fol-

The HERALD is always pleased at

The HERALD is always pleased at
the elevation of any of Meagher's
sons, especially when such elevation
is evidently warranted by the pecu-
liarly meritorious qualities of the in
dividual. Hon. Fletcher Maddox
has been proposed for the office of
attorney general of Montana. We
know MIR. Maddox like a book, and
can read him line by line. He is a
thorough lawyer, a proficient reason

modest in demeanor, gifted with a
mountain of good commonsense and
superior in all those traits which 90

%cessful man. He was court clerk of
Montana during the administration
of Judge Harwood upon the supreme
bench. Beside this, he has filled sew
eral places of trust in Montana where
the service of a full-hedged attorney
was required.
We are not nominating Mr.. Mad
dox for the office of attorney general
but we take great pleasure in sec
ending the nomination as it comes
from a number of high-class repub-
llcan papers. We ask the public to
read the following hattering press
notices:
Daily River Press: Among the re-
publican state ticket possibilities is
Hon. Fletcher Maddox, of Meagher
county, whose friends propose to
place his name before the state con-
~vention for the attorney generalship
nomination. Mr.. Maddox is a lawyer
of experience and high repute, whose
ability was recognized in in his sell
ection by the state Legislature to an
notate and supervise the publication
of the codes. We question if any
mar with better qualification can be
chosen for the honor sought by the
friends of Mr.. Maddox.
Again:
Choteau Montanian: In view of
the fact that the house of the present
attorney general is divided against
itself-one member having "popped'
without due respect for the other
in the light of past experiences, we
deem a change in the coming election
advisable. How would Fletcher
Maddox Of Meagher county fill the
bill? He is chairman of the
republican county committee and
said to be we'll qualified by exper.
fence and study for the position. Mr.
Maddox was appointed by the legis.
lature to annotate the codes, which
shows the high regard in which he i:
held as an attorney.
