said he. between the powder companies
which operate around Butte aud the fire
committee ur the city Council The lat
Ter is determined that no more powder
shall be stored within the fire limits.
while ii is to the companies interests
Ia ou; wit the city fathers, as many of
iheir valuable powder magazines stand
within the prescribed district The CON-
uij;ee had selected a site on which to
auild new magazines, aud ordered all the
powder sent there. but when the team
sters tried 20 obey the order IL was
found that the new magazines had not
been provided and that the compa:ies
would have grounds for a damage suit
should the powder he taken from the
present sturehouses, by order of the com
niitec. and stand in some open, damp
place where the stool. would be spelled.
For some time the Committee was in
quandlry. but it has been decided that, mt
any II tc, no more explosives shall enter
the town. 1t was learned trat three car
loads of powder, including thirty tons OF
giant Hercules brand, had been Consigned
10 the City. Immediately an injunction
was gotten out 70 prevent either the Mon
;aua Union Railway or the transfer COM
;auies Of the town from moving the ex-
plosiye under pcualty of instant arrest
This meant that it must be left on the
siding at Rocker Station, Just outside OF
the city limits, until some plan for stor
ing it is made by the companies The
Committee has decided that no matter how

no one knows. ON the o,her hand. 1t Is not
clear how The powder agencies at Butte
can do business when their stock in the
magazines is depleted and all their re-
serve spoiled by being exposed to the
weather at Rocker. One of the measures
proposed 20 enforce the order of the fire
committee is the arrest of the city agents,
but the attorney general can see no ad-
vantage in such a plan, and SO the ma.-
ter rests at present"

of which are just now in highly in

two are covered with large round eggs,

times literally bestrew the surface of
plum cakes. 1t has long been known

TALE OF A RUNAWAY PIG.
Ills FOndnesS for Potato Patches Led
Him Into Trouble.

In the old home we once had a funny
little pig. He was generally to be seen
in the act of running away. Hardly
ever do 1 remember seeing his face to-
ward me. He also had a knack of
getting away from all the other pigs,
says writer in the Ladies Jour-
nal
The field next the house--the "home
field" as we used to call twas a
kind of commons for the hogs, cattle
and fowls. The next was potato field,
and the little pig had taken it into his
head to get into that one. How he got
In no one could tell, for the field was
we'll fenced, and there was no opening
through which he could enter. How
did he get in?
| One day 1 watched. He wandered in
sort of unnoticeable way toward
crooked old log, across which the fence
| had been built
Suddenly, though closely watching. L
lost sight of my little friend. But, be-
fore l had recovered from my surprise,
L was astonished 10 see him in the
potato field
We'll, now, that is very strange L
said. How did he do it,"
| went to the old log, and loi it
was hollow. The whole trick became
quite clear to me.
l went into the potato field to drive
him out, intending to steer him toward
the end of the log, so that he might get
out the same way he got in. Here he
had the best of me entirely Me either
could not or would not see the log,
and maintained such an air of ig-
norance on that point that / had to
give UP the task in despair, drive him
out by the gate and bring him home
by long, roundabout way.
The next day L made up my mind to
play a trick on him, and l did. 1 went
out very early, and moved the log just
little, so that both ends would be in
the home field.
Then l stood at some distance off
and watched. | never was more
amused in my life. He separated him.
self from the other pigs and then went
toward the old log, and got in. and
through it, and Gas he evidently
thought got out into the potato field.
l could understand this by the way
he Immediately began to sniff for the
potatoes. But, finding none, he seemed
somewhat puzzled.
Somehow it dawned on him that he
was St1lI IN the nome Held, ana ne con-
cluded that he had not gone through
the log. So he went through it once
more, but only to find himself again
in the home field.
This seemed to puzzle him more than
ever. He looked around in astonish-
ment. l could clearly see that ex-
preston on his face. For a moment he
stopped and was evidently thinking
very hard. Once more he got through
the log, with the same result of find
ing himself in the home field.
This time, / am sure, if he could
talk, he would have cried out
"Spooks,'
He stood quite still for a few sec
onds, shifted the air, and / could dis
tinctly see the bristles on his back
gradually rising up on end. Suddenly
he uttered a peculiar kind of book,
and ran with all his might toward the
other pigs.
The little pig was never seen in that
part of the field again. Many time
we tried to drive him to the old log,
but we could not get him to go.

SHE KISSED HER FINGER TIPS.

She kissed her fnger-tips to me
sudden spendor lit the skies;

That filled my soul with ecstasy.
She kissed her finger-tips to me
Twas winter weather, yet l swear
The scent of woodbine filled the air
And choiring birds piped merrily.
She kissed her finger-tps to me
The years rolled back, the world was
young;
/ heard the song the sirens sung
In wave-washed islands of the sea.
She kissed her finger-tips to me
The halcyon days returned again;
And 10, this weary world of men
The land of fairies seemed to be.
She kissed her finger-tips to me

Relentless tasks for me to learn,
For love made earth an Already.
