Quinn WASH t. mad about 1T. He was
too scared to.be angry He ate sparingly
Of the. food because. of his fright, but
when he was called on for the toast no.

The Dakotas after a while got too
modern and eastern for Quinn, and he
pulled up stakes and went! on to. Mon
tana, where he. went back into the, news
paper business as the editor and man
ager Of the Butte Miner which he still
CONTROLS :'>ts. :: =:
Earlysin the career Of the Miner came
the fight for the. location OF the perna-
nent capital. of the state, Of Montana.
The Miner .espoused the cause Of Helena,
and what it didn't do to the opposition
wouldn't be worth Mentioning. Helena
won the fight and a good deal of the
credit fell to the active and intelligent
work of the Miner, whose editor threw
himself into the battle with a. Yigor that
called for four and five columns Of mat
ter day. =. .".'s sess@'s 49,
When it, was all over the, citizens OF
Helena made Mr.. Quinn a little present.
It was gold watch with an inscription
on the back that the receiver. values
though the timepiece is really a gorgeous
one for newspaper editor. :,
Another remembrance was one that
came from the women of Helena Dur
ing the capital fight the women of Hell
sena organized a committee and sent out
literature telling Of the claims of that
city to the seat of government. A paper
:atfAnaconda which was fighting for its
own locality, slurred this committee, in
sinuating that the women Of Helena
were setting themselves UP as little
better than the members of the fair sex
in other portions of the state. This
gave the Miner it's opportunity, and the
editor Of the Anaconda paper was noti-
fled in the most terse manner of which
the Miner was capable, that there were
men to fight if he was not exhausted by
his attack on the women and. children
of the state. The ladies Of Helena were
of course grateful, and when the con-
test was over, having some money in
the campaign fund they sent to New
York and had made for Mrs. Quinn q
silver set. the like of which is not to be
seen in every EDITORS home. g la.
Comfortably, MIR. Quinn doesn't keep
it there. He keeps it in q, bank vault
and only takes it out when he wants to
feel rich, But the gift Of the Helena
women is there, and, the Quinn family
wouldn't part with it for the gold Of
Ophir.
The Butte Miner is, as one might infer
from its locality, a.. silver paper, and
the editor was not far from. Chicago
when the gold Democrats were un-
horsed,s: He is an. ardent silver man and
claims that it is going to- win by a
large majority, Mr.: Quinn save the Re-
way in the east. Es
