Neihart Miner: Congress Is kept
quite busy these days attending to our
foreign affairs. So busy in fact that
il has not the time to look after the
petty domestic matters that are both
ering some Of us who are not in con-
gress. What with the Venezuelan
question. the Armenian atrocities the
Trinidad incident. the Chinese mission
aries the Bayard speeches. the Cuban
war and the various South American
difficulties that need the paternal hand
Of Uncle Sam there is no time left to
devote TO the monetary and other
minor ills that are affecting the Amer
lean people. All these things may be
Of vast Importance in their place, but
when congress devotes most of its
time to the making Of a few cheap
regulations along this line, they are
decidedly out Of place-or rather occu-
plying too much place. The United
States has got along fairly well dur
ing the last hundred years by attend
ing to its own business, and by doing
the same in the future she viii add to
her influence and her reputation.

Thompson Falls Montanian: Two
tramps beat n salOonkeeper i'm Thomp-

Whiskey by a queer trick recently.
They PASSED a gallon jug over the bar
and asked to have it filed with whis-
key. After TX had been filled they ten
dcrcd a dollar in payment. The bar
tender said the whiskCy was Of a 81
kind and refused to take the dollar.
The tramps declined to pay more, and
the bartender emptied the liquor back
into the barrel and handed back the
jug After going down the road some
distance the tramps smashed the top
of the jug and squeezed several good
drinks OF whiskey out of two big
sponges i'm the jug.

Great Falls Tribune: The current
number of the BOzeman Chronicle is
marked Vol II, No. /, which shows
that the paper Is just entering upon
the l4th year of its existence. The
Chronicle IS one OF the brightest, clean
est and best edited papers in Montana.
May IT increase in size and continued
usefulness for many years to come.
The editor of the Chronicle, A. K.
Yerkes. has been on an extended trip
east, and has been entertaining his
readers with a series Of most inter
esting letters. written in a humorous.
gossipy way, relating 10 what he saw
and possibly some things he did not
see. Here is an extract from his cor
respondence this week, which is the
naked truth:
Minneapolis is a great Touring cen
ter. Several grist mills have all they
can do there. They do not have to
CLOSE down in winter for lack of water
or stOra &c room. Neither do they have
to put a Dakota brand on their sacks.
The people of Minneapolis eat their
own -four. They do not send east for
it,"
This statement carries with It a les
son. 1t should be read and Wondered
over and initiated by the citizens Of
Montana. The flour manufactured in
this state IS second to none in the
country. If our people would patron
iZe il according to its merits and to
the exclusion Of eastern makes exist
ing mills would be enlarged and new
ones erected and the supply would
equal any demands made upon IT, In
stead they are purchasers from Mime
sofa. that hotbed OF goldism. whose
press and public men are among the
most bitter and vindictive enemies 10
the cause of free coinage. In 50 doing
they are aiding in forging the chains
that are to continue them i'm bondage.
IL 1t can be accomplished. IL is true
that there are some things we must
procure from the Eas., but -four need
not be one Of them.

Special Correspondence OF the Standard.
Livingston. Feb. 9.-During the sum-
mer months of last year there appeared
i'm this city a young man whose ms
fortunes elected for him the sympathy
of the entire community. His name
was John Button, and his affection was
the loss of both legs. Five years ago
the coming June, i'm alighting from
passenger train on the Northwestern
road at the Union depot in Chicago he
slipped and fell beneath the wheels,
and after being picked up was forced 10
submit to the amputation of both ms
limbs Just below the knees. Since then
he has Travelled from one coast to the
other, making his living backing boots
and performing other work which in
his crippled condition he was adapted
for In Livingston his means Of trans
portation was a velOcipede, which he
rode by placing his knees upon the axle
and operating the pedals with his
hands Mounted in this manner and
wheeling up and down the streets, he
was indeed an object of pity. But he
complained not. Faithfully he daily
strove with his bootblack kit to add To
q slowly accommodating hoard, urged on
by a single purpose-the accumulation
Of sum sufficient to enable him 10
purchase a pair of cork limbs. lie ala
not, however, remain long in Livings-
ton, for experience had taught him
that the first few days that he re-
manned in any place were the most
profitable ones for him. Accordingly
he kept on his route down the Yellow
stone valley.
A couple months ago he reached the
goal for which he had so assiduously
striven; he had become possessed Of a
sufficient sum to purchase the coveted
articles which would once more enable
him to walk about again, even though
he could never regain the natural gait,
suppleness of motion and easy carriage
which he possessed before the accident.
The cork limbs were ordered and at
length arrived, and to-day the young
man appeared again in this city. Not
this time, however, did he crawl upon
his hands and knees or laboriously pro-
pei the old veloCipede, but walked erect
about the town with confident, joy
full air, now and then executing a little
Jig TO show his profciencics in the use
Of his newly acquired limbs. He says
he Is the only man in the world with
two artificial limbs who can walk a
mile in Is minutes. Some time go he
secured n judgment against the North
western road for $500 and will receive
half of this judgment some time dur
ing next summer.
