So many things are adver-
tised by dealers as suited to
the wants of persons who de-
light in giving during the
Christmas season. Nearly
every merchant or manufac-
turer advertises that his wares
are suitable for Christmas; it
doesn't make any difference
whether it is needle case or
n II ton roller. We differ from
most merchants because we
believe our stock contains the
only useful articles fit to be
put in a stocking. In these

old, useful and beautiful pre-
sents are selected. Where is

not rather have set Of China

pieces fit to grace any table
beautiful French Ware with
handsome decorations.

1t would appear from the latest

African situation is far FROM COM

for conspiracy, as is now deemed
possible, something in the form
of enrRged public opinion might
be heard drop near the Cape of
Cool Hope. The recent iutelli.
gence that there was great in

however, may be sign that Great

not be surprising if the equitable

shat Venezuela never exercised

British FOreh a n d ed q ess.

The San Francisco Chronicle
thus remarks on the Rows about
the new British claim on Egypt,
for the amount of the expenses of
the Dongola expedition which
France, with Russia's backing, in
sisted should not come out OF the
Egyptian administration fund:
For mere beggarly amount Of
G5C0,OOO England will be permit
ted to make a claim on Egypt
which cannot be shaken. 1t APP
pears that the French have refus-
ed to bear their share of the cost
of the Dongola expedition, which
leaves England with good ground
to assert that Egypt is unable to
reconquer or defend her outlying
territory. Whatever Kitchener
may accomplish in the Soudan
will be for the benefit of England
and not for Egypt. In this diplo-
matte fight the French have been
as badly worsted az they were in
the famous struggle which ended
in the bombardment of Alexandria.

Yachtsmen in the twenty-rater class be-
cause it will show for the first time the
new boat just finished for Ogden Goelet,
the New York millionaire She was
only launched recently, but the finish
ing work has been pushed rapidly. Cap
tain Parker of Itchen Ferry, who sailed
the Herreshoff twenty-rater Isolde last
year, has been engaged as captain by
Mr.. GOelet. That the latter means to
race in earnest is shown by the fact
that he has also engaged as an assist
ant to George Parker, Ben Parker. also
of Itchen Ferry who made a reputation
long ago as one Of the cleverest yacht
shippers in England.
Sibbicl1 of Cowes is the builder of the
new boat. and it is claimed she Will
prove herself a marvel. 1t is hoped that
Howard Gould will order Captain John
Barr to fit up the Niagara and enter her
in the approaching races. AS the Mag
ara was built by the Herreshoffs and
swept everything before her last year
in English waters, a race between her
and the Goulet boat would do much to-
ward settling the disputed question as
to whether England or America can
produce the best small boat.
The yachting crowd always spreads
itself well over the Riviera. Cannes is
the favorite of many because it has
more than so fine hotels and only one
street. 1t is only % miles from Nice.
and more famous people have visited it
than, perhaps, any other place of it's
size the world over. English people
are particularly partial to it because
Lord Brougham made its reputation as
a winter resort by settling there in
1884. He died in 1868. and the apprecia-
tive citizens and hotel keepers erected a
fine monument to his memory. The
beautiful boulevard DE la Croisette.
fringing the bay and running the entire
length of the town. affords a panorama
unequaled anywhere.
OF course Monte Carlo is not sighted
by the yachting crowd AS it is only
nine miles from Nice, the journey is
nothing more than a pleasant drive.
Many of the yachtsmen annually go to
the expense of the Riviera pilgrimage
in the hope of making the bank at
Monte Carlo foot the bills. 1t is need
less to say how many are disappointed.
w. X Vanderbilt and a party of
friends are expected here on the Valiant
in time for the races. 1t may be that
the Duchess of Manchester will run
down for short visit and then every
one will know whether there is any
truth in the paragraphs of the London
| society papers to the effect that Mr..
Vanderbilt and the duchess are en-
| gagged.

some chairs. At the lower end Of town
a hotel was about to be started and the
protector had 30 hard bottom seats.
These 1 secured and added a very few
from a furniture store.
Then the greatest problem of all con-
fronted me. Where could l get a piano
or organ. There was only one of each
kind within 40 miles. One of them was
a cracked piano that was wearing out
its squeaky existence, assisted OCCASION
ally toward it's demise by the spurred
heels of festive cowboys, in a dance hall
in Coulson. The other was an organ
that had been sent to the Congrega-
tionalists from the ladies of Minneapo-
lis. There was only one horn to that
dilemma, and l took it. 1 had been
elected a trustee a short time before Of
the Congregational church, and as a
trustee decided that the organ should
lend it's assistance in helping out poor
Brown. Then had to overcome anoth-
er obstacle One of the opera nights
came on the same evning in which the
church services were to be held. Brown
had left me no discretion in this matter.
1 was not to be "phased" by trifie like
that, so made the announcement that
the first and third evenings at S:15 and
on the intervening one at 9:15.
When the company arrived, on top
and inside a stage, 1 was ready for
them. I had reinforced the chairs with
boards laid across uprights set on the
floor, and so filed the place to the doors,
or rather to the place where the doors
should have been. The price of the
o .,ft 40
soft places on the planks 81. AS 1 stood
at the door awaiting the arrival OF the
audience l felt a little elated at the
prospect The room was lighted by
few kerosene lamps and fair sprink-
ling of tallow dips. A dingy curtain
streaked here and there with the alkah
dust with which the Yellowstone valley
was always well supplied shut out the
view of the profane from the singers
who were making up for the first act.
l had the proud consciousness of be-
ing the first person to introduce legiti-
mate entertainments to the people of
the upper Yellowstone valley. The au-
dience came to be amused was not hy-
percritcal, and the fact that am alive
today testifies to the excellence of the
performance. Bessie Louis King was
the prima donna, as every one knew,
because her name was blazoned on the
bills but l did not remember until I
met Frank Deshon, who is now in the
Twin Cities as the comedian of the
Brownies that he was the comedian of
that little, almost stranded opera COM
pany, the first that ever crossed the
continent from Duluth to Portland.
I paid Mr.. Brown as his share of the
venture the sum of $685., and when the
company was safely slowed away in
the stage bound for Bozeman. he
thanked me most heartily for my efforts
in his behalf. l haven't seen him since.

Four Days or " aiding in the Snow With
ont food or >leer.
Saturday morning. February 1, Will
liam Schumann left Yogo for Neihart
by way of the Belt trail, says the Ana
conda Standard. He was not thorough
ly familiar with the route, but he had
been over it once before, and supposed
he could find it once again. When he
got to the top of Rocky point he noticed
a windstorm brewing and a haze which
made it difficult to see far ahead He
stopped for a little while, hoping it
would blow over, and it did seem to do
so for a few minutes, but no sooner had
he started than it grew worse again,
From this point he does not know
where he went to, but thinks, from
what others say who know the ground
better, that he must have gone down
on the Running Wolf. Anyhow, he
wandered around all that day without
getting any nearer knowledge of his
whereabouts Fortunately he had
box of matches with him and toward
morning started a fire. This same
thing was repeated on Sunday, Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday. On that
night he was so completely tired out,
having been without food or sleep since
Saturday morning, that he did not even
have energy enough to collect wood for
a fire, but coming upon an old hunter
cabin he set fire TO that and managed
to keep warm until rear morning. He
describes his feelings about this time
as indifference to what became of him.
His keen hunger seemed to have passed
away and he felt only languor and ia
tigue. For four days and nights he
waded through snow three feet deep
without food or rest and was just about
ready to give up the fight.
Thursday opened bright and clear
and he managed to get to the top of a
hill near by. One can perhaps imagine
his delight upon seeing signs of human
life below him. This proved to be
Yogo and Schumann just managed to
get to a cabin and stumble in, falling
upon the floor as. the door was opened.
He rested there that night, going back
to the mine next day, and from there
was taken to Barker, Monarch and
home to Neihart. AS a result of his
experience Mr.. Schumann is % pounds
lighter than he was two weeks ago and
gets around like an old man who had
been crippled with rheumatism for 20
years.

LeoucavaiIo,s Opinion of Himself

The following from the Chicago Evening
also shows incidentally that the new wo-
man is in it in the Land of Song:
One day Leoncavallo was in Forli visit
ing when his "Pagliacci" happened to be
given. Thinking that no one knew him
there, he bought seat and went to hear
his own composition. Next to him sat a
pretty girl who wildly applauded every
thing. He naturally was very quiet, en-
joying his supposed incognito immensely.
Finally his neighbor turned to him and
said:
"Why don't you applaud? Don't you
like the opera?'
mo" replied Leoncavallo, "I don't like
it at all. 1t is the work of a beginner, to
say nothing worse"
'Then you know nothing about music"
observed his fair neighbor.
"Oh, yes 1 do" and to prove his state
ment he began a discussion on counter
point, showing, also, wherein Leoncaval-
los music was worthless, almost all of the
arias having been stolen from Beethoven.
Bizet, and others. His neighbor listened
silently, and when he finished, she asked:
And this is your real opinion?"
Certainly"
Next morning the composer was stunned
to read in the morning paper, word for
word, his criticism of the day before I'M
der his own name His sweet neighbor
was the musical critic of the paper and
had recognized him at once, taking that
way to secure a creditable beat"

who will pay one-quarter of the sum she
cost the Irish earl. At any rate she will
not be brought into English waters TN
less some Englishman buys her and
takes her over.
The Satanita, owned by Mr.. Rose, who
challenged for the Americas cup at the
time of the Dunraven rumpus and then
Withdrew, will be one or the racers. She
will meet her old rivals the Britannia
and the Ailsa. The Britannia has been
completely overhauled in the yards Of
her Glasgow builders and the prince is
as confident as ever of her carrying off
the prizes.
The cutter Ailsa has had her spars
and canvass reduced, which probably
means her lead keel lightened. Since
Britannia has had no important alter
atoms made, the change made on Ailsa,
does not seem likely to be an advantage,
unless bringing her rating down to
Britannia's. Satanita has also had her
spars and canvas reduced, and her lead
keel has been altered. Her stern post
has had some of the rake taken out of
it to lessen the strong weather helm the
cutter carried. A bronze rudder has
been hung inside of her wooden one,
but it is not explained how this will af-
feet her steering.

Retircs From Business Robber and

"Brigandage is still rampant in many
rural districts in Italy" said DR.. Ravog-
Ii, the resident Italian consul, to a Gin
cinnati Enquirer representative.
From advices receive occasionally
l keep in touch with home affairs, and a
letter from a friend in Trieste contains
a reference to Tiburzi, one of the most
picturesque of these freebooters. Ii
burzi is about IS years old. At the be-
ginning of his career he was as bad as
others of the same vocation in life. In
1872 he was caught, convicted of high
way robbery and murder and sentenced
to Imprisonment for life. He escaped in
1874 and took refuge in a wood near vi
terbo, where he lived in security, in
spite of II warrants and large reward
for his arrest. The reason of this Sc
curity is simple enough. He was good
to the poor-any peasant in need of
help could always get a gold coin from
Tiburzi-and he punished traitors. Con-
sequently the peasants were ready to
assist him against the police or govern
ment emissaries, and those who would
willingly have given information were
afraid to do so.
after his escape Tiburzi altered his
method of gaining a living. He caused
it to be made known to all the well-to-
