closes by saying
1T is believed this is the commence

Catholics and the A. p. A"
Telegraphing such stuff abroad is
wrong and does harm. There will be
no open hostilities between any two

licious mischief was a Catholic, but
whoever and whatever he was he will
be severely dealt with when appre-
hended. our Catholic fellow citizens
condemn the act (as they do all acts
of lawlessness) as strongly as any
other class and would like to see the
guilty party brought to justice. The
attempt to create a clash among our
people should be frowned down. All
good citizens certainly condemn IL.

LOOK TO YOUR TAGS.
And Find out How Your Tailor Has
Marked Up Your standing.


Marked Up Your standing.
From the New York World.
The man who thinks he has the best
of his tailor had better take off his
coat and examine the tag under the
Toner of garments has sewn 1t. There
let him look at the stitching which
binds that innocentlookingb bit of linen
to the cloth. Let him then see whether
the tailor is a fool or not.
AS surely as bad habits leave their
mark upon the countenance of the
wicked. so the willy fashioner of ward
robes has set his seal. The honest
man, the beat, the slow payer, the
schemer and the dolt are known by the
stitches. BY their marks we shall be
understood, or words to that effect
The object of this new sartorial fan
cy is to enable knights of the shears to
tell at a glance whether you are good
pay or not. It's all in the threads, as
1t were. Here is the key TO these in
genious tabs of the tailor. The Jog
stitch is the one regularly used for
work. The criss-cross is significant of
slow pay. The stitch with dots and
dashes, which looks like the Morse al
phabet, tells the inquiring tailor that
its owner is a bad risk. The reverse
dot stitch shows the good fellow who
wishes his friends to dress well, but
hates like thunder to pay what they
will finally owe on his introduction.
The round curves are used to indi-
cate a mean man, and the tag with
convex loops at each corner is a sure
black eye for the wearer. It's a good
scheme, altogether. the tailors think.

A SAD CASE.
The Afflicted Mother and Helpless Chill
dren Deserted and In Need.


Great Falls, Jan. 21.-George A. Ma
son, who offered to betray the secrets
of certain organizations to which he
belonged in this city some weeks ago
for and in consideration OF a sum of
money, and who subsequently left town
between two days, deserted a wife and
five children here, and left them in a
sad condition. The oldest child is less
than years of age, and the authori-
ties have supplied them with the ne
cessaries of life since Mason's depart
ure Mrs. Mason is a physical and
mental wreck. and was up to-day be-
fore "a commission of lunacy. She Is
not in her right mind. but the physi-
clans who examined her, concluded to
make an effort TO improve her condi-
ton without committing her to the
ASYLUM Mrs. Mason has brother in
Butte and a sister in Tacoma, who. she
believes would assist her, were either
fully aware of her condition. The case
is peculiarly sad. There were six child
rem in the family. the oldest of which
is not 7, but the youngest died rev
weeks ago, and the others are delicate,
fragile babes, that show the want or
mothers care in their pinched faces
and absence of proper clothing. II is
one of those cases wherein devout
church people have a grand opportu-
nity OF displaying that kindliness OF
heart and sublimity of character which
should accompany genuine Christian

The Eight-Year Leap Explained.

The fact that several newspapers
have made mention of there being no
lean year until 1904 has agitated the
minds of a great many people in the
coal camp. especially the young ladies
who expect to be wearing boomers in
1900. and for the benefit of those who
do not understand why 1900 should not
be a leap year. / will cffer the follow
ing explanation:
Everybody knows that the common
or civil year has 365 days. Scientists
and astronomers say the solar year
the time IL takes the sun TO make the
complete circuit OF It's orbit-contains
Sos 2422 days. or 365 days hours -
minutes and 46 seconds. Thus IL ap-
pears that the common year Is 2O.926
seconds, or hours IS minutes and 46
