BRUTUS WAS SMART.
Knew When the Conversation Touched
on His Battle with Bruin.

A writer in the American Field tells
of a fight between a black bear and d
mongrel cur that could boast not of
lineage or personal appearance. He put
up a game fight, however, only to be
worsted in the end by powerful stroke
of bruins paw. When the bear was dis
patched by the dogs master it was
found that Brutus, the dog, was very
badly used up, and he presented a sorry
appearance. He was carefully nursed
back TO health and strength again, and
proved useful in many a hunting expe-
dition. Some time after the dogs adj
venture with the bear, one of the party
Col. B.-left home and remained
away for several years. When he re-
turned he found Brutus an old dog, bear
ing his honorable scars with the sedate
dignity of a worthy pensioner. At first
the dog did not recognize the colonel;
the memory of old association seemed
blotted out. One day, after having
been home about week, Col. b. and his
brothers were sitting together talking
CT old times, while Brutus lay near by,
apparently doing. During the CONVEX
sation the incident wherein Brutus was
s. badly used up by the bear was
brought up; that memorable hunting
exploit was gone over, and the cour-
ageous conduct of the dog eXtolled as it
had been years before. The old dog re-
manned quiet while the events of the
first bear hunt were being discussed
until his fight with bruin was reached.
At this point Brutus jumped up and
sprang toward Col. b. in demonstrativc
recognition, showing that he had heard
the conversation, and that his memory
had been awakened by the recounting
of the unfortunate experience with the
bear.

Whether the dog had fallen into the

last explanation of Rover's death seems
the most likely one, because, as you

DOG KILLS HIMSELF,
When Little Ernest Wilcox Died His Pet
Was Found Drowned.

A touching story of dogs fondness
for his young master comes from St.
Louis, and is vouched for by those who
know the boys parents. Little Ernest
Wilcox and lis pet st. Bernard were in
separable companions. They often went
swimming together, for Rover, the
pet, was not afraid of the water. A
few weeks ago Ernest was stricken
with typhoid fever, and, after lingering
for many days under the most careful
nursing, the bright little chap died.
All the time that Ernest lay sick abed
Rover was on guard outside the door
of the boys room. Nothing could in
duce the faithful canine to leave his
post.
When finally the young master passed
away, and weeping friends and relatives
came and went, and everything about
the house was strangely silent, Rover
refused to eat even the tiniest morsel
of meat, and scorned piateful of juicy
bones as if they had been that much
sawdust.
Very late on the night of little Err
nests death, there came the NOISE of a
great whining from the room where
the dead boy lay. Investigation
showed Rover standing on his hind
legs in front of the cold young body of
his quiet master.
Two days later Rover was missing.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
MAMMALS RlGHT-HAND MEN,

Five of them, all in row,
Dimpled and white as snow
Sure and steady, always ready,
Glad enough to run;
Helping mamma Is fun.
The first little fellow, you see,
Is short and fat as can be-
And he stands below the rest of the row
And they above him
Look down and love him.
The next little helper to him
Is straight and proud and slim.
Just bit naughty, not a bit naughty.
He and his little fat neighbor
Are partners in their labor.
In the middle, in honest pride
TWO subjects on either side
The king is there, stately and fair.
A silver crown wears he,
And he wears 1t royalty.
Beside him, with languid grace,
The fourth man takes his place
He's bit of a dandy, and not very handy
But he does his best,
AS well as the rest.
And last of them all in the row,
Stands the baby brother, you know
Of you don't know, l would not say SOD
For who cannot guess it, then?
Who are mammals right-hand men?

BEER EXPORTS.
AN Extract from an Editorial in the
Brewers journal.

The leading editorial in the Brewers
journal urges upon the brewers of the
United States the Importance of ex-
tending more than they do the exports
of their products to foreign countries,
and prints an elaborate statistical ar
ticle showing the United States imports
and exports of malt liquor, from which
we extract the following:
During the twelve months ending June
80, 1896. the United States exported 492, O55
dozen bottles of malt liquor, valued at
$3.50 lie, and 300 1888 gallons not in bottles
OF q value of 500 759, total Of 1853 SIS gainst
S55S,71O for the year ending June 30, 1885,
an increase of upward of is per cent.
Compared with the above figures, our
imports of foreign brewed malt liquor
are disproportionately large. The guam
tify imported during the y months ending
June. 1895, was 943,939 gallons in bottles
valued at $500, 037, and 2,O27.137 gallons in
other packages, valued 81 1914, sos, total of
2,9i1,676 gallons, valued at Sl.5l4.Si5. For
the year ending June 80. 1896. the total Is
much larger. 1,Q3S642 gallons in bottles,
valued at $l,0O7, LAG, and 2,244,7 1863 gallons in
other packages, valued at 1851, so, a total
of 3,2S3,405 gallons, valued at 81 6G5 0l6.
of this total there remained in ware
houses on June go 1886, 81, 351 gallons, val
ued at S50,06S.
Over against this the editor says:
Great Britain and Ireland have a for
eign trade in malt liquors amounting an
nUally to more than s., $780, GOO; Germany has
almost, if not quite, as large trade, out
SIDE of her sales to her immediate CONT
mental neighbors; Austria does a large ex-
port trade in malt liquors and pushes it
vigorously, and Belgium and Denmark
have also introduced their brews in other
lands.
He thinks that in all such foreign
markets as the West Indies, South and
Central America, Africa, Asia and Aus
tralia there are vast openings for Amer
iCAn beer.

MR.. AND MRS. HARDING.
Their Troubles Taken Into Court and
Divorce Proceedings Will Follow.

Their Troubles Taken Into Court and
Divorce Proceedings Will Follow.
DR.. Wellington c. Harding of South
Butte has had a great deal of trouble
lately with his wife and 1t eliminated
yesterday by the womans arrest for
drunkenness and was followed by a
scene in the police court and later by
sensational suit for divorce brought
in the district court. Mrs. Harding
was arrested on complaint of her hus-
band and charged with being drunk.
When arraigned before Judge Turner
she protested that she was not drunk,
but the judge fixed her bonds at s25
and set her hearing for next Monday.
The doctor wanted his wife sent to
Jail and held until he could get a COM
mission appointed to examine into her
mental condition. He grew excited at
the prospect of his wife being released
and said she made his life miserable
and declared people would be surprised
If he told of some of the things she
had been guilty Of He said he would
rather give her 81, 900 than be compell-
ed to live with her again.
Don't you believe what he says"
said Mrs. Harding, for / have baked
and scrubbed and rubbed for years for
that man while he loafed around sa-
looms and played cards"
The woman had no money to put up
for her appearance and she offered
some jewelry as security, but the Judge
said he could not take jewelry for
bonds.
That's right, don't let her out" put
in the doctor, but the woman finally
obtained the necessary money and put
up a cash bond. whereupon she was
released.
A few minutes later DR. Harding had
employed Attorney Daniel Yancey and
a complaint in a suit for the annul-
ment of his marriage to Louisa T.
Harding was drawn up and filed in
the district court. The ground for
asking that the marriage be annulled
Is that the woman had husband Iiv-
ing at the time of her marriage to the
doctor. In his complaint Harding says
tnat ne has been a resident of the
state OF Montana for 10 years and now
resides in Butte He married the de-
PENDANT on Dec. 10. 1885. i'm this city.
The complaint then alleges that al
the time of said marriage the defend
ant had a former husband living and
that the defendants marriage with
said former husband was then in force
and undissolved by decree of divorce
or otherwise, all Of which was well
known TO the defendant, wherefore the
plaintiff prays that the marriage may
be annulled and that he be forever re-
leased and discharged from any and all
obligations and duties arising from
said marriage, and that the marriage
be declared by the court to be void
from the beginning"
The couple have no children and both
are old and gray-haired.
