Have Fraternal Time Together and Go
In For a Brotherly Shave.


In For a Brotherly Shave.
In attendance upon the recent inaugural
ball at Helena Mon, was T.. II. Becker
of the Billings Gazette and A. X. Yerkes
OF the Bozcman Chronicle, two men who
would reflect credit upon journalism any
whore. They roomed together. During
the evening of the ball Orpheus F. God
dard was sent ont TO buy some white neck
ties, but returned with the information
that, while be found store open, the pro-
prietor could not sell him a thing, as 10
was after hours and he was afraid OF "a
boycott.
This announcement caused more or less
wild defamation. especially when Goddard
pulled ont necktio and quietly remarked
that he took it when the proprietor wasn't
looking and would pay him for it in the
morning. IL was not until Goddard had
lshed out two more, similarly distracted
from the store, that Becker agreed 10 at
tend the ball. Then he discovered that he
needed shave.
ooh, that all right, " said Yerkes. 81
have a safety with me, and I'll give you
shave that'll make yon think l ought to
have been a barber.
"What in the name Of heaven is safe
tyy" said Becker.
"Neyer you mind" said Yerkes "Just
lie back in the chair and go to sleep. I'll
wake you up when l get through"
Becker lay back while Yerkes pinioned
his hands behind the chair and went at
him with a lawn mower razor. 1t was a
beard Of "a weeks growth, and the oper-
ator pulled and sawed with vigor. During
the scrapc, through which Becker yelled
and swore and shed tears, a man from the
next room came in and asked;
"What in thunder are you tearing the
paper OF tho wall for?"
This did not disturb the imperturbable
Yorkcs one bit, but it made Becker swear,
plead and threaten all the harder. Never
thcless Ycrkes held his victim down and
shaved him to finish. Then he remarked:
Il haven any bay rum, or, in fact, any
thing to put on that countcnance, Becker,
but | want to say that the face would turn
an edge on cOrncuttor. II it hadn't
been for the fact that the barber shops
were all closed and there'd been danger Of
a boycott II a barber had shaved you,
never would have staid with the job. "
When Becker got his breath, he sat up
in the chair with wild look, and said;
$50 that's what you call a safety, is liz
Well, want 10 say that I'd rather have
my whiskers pulled out by corn shelter
every time"
"Why?" asked Yerkes. Wasn't that a
good shave:"
a good shave?" yelled Becker "Why,
who IN the name Of heaven and earth ever
heard Of a man being shaved without
lathcr!'
"Well. I'll be cussedH' Ycrkes replied
quietly. Il thought l had overlooked
something by the way you howled and
kicked. Helena Independent.

New Helmet For the German Army.

a new helmet has been served out, by
way of experiment, to several regiments OF
the German army. 1t is very light. being
made Of aluminium, and is bronzcd in
order to obyiate the drawba which
might arise from "a bright metal head

ium h0rscshOes, buckles and accoutcr-
ments, with a view to tightening the
weight which the soldier must carry. For
horseshoes il has been found too soft, but
in other respects it has answered well.

attention OF all military men.-British

Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
so completely as rheumatism-that de-
plorable condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only a real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-called blood rene
dies are at best only tonics and cam
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms OF
rheumatism is tingling sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
abost from a lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of 5. 5. S.;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
lation to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert II. King, prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
about five years ago was a great
sufferer from rheumatism. l was
treated by all the leading physicians

Peasant Theaters In the TyroI.

Last summer Colonel George 4. Waring,
Jr, commissioner of street cleaning in
New York, made a bicycle tour through
the Tyrol. His second paper describing
his experiences appears in The Century
under the title of Bicycling Through the
DOlomites" Colonel Waring says: Az
the world has heard of and much of tho
world has visited the patriotic passion play
at Oberammergau, but few know the de.
gree to which tho dramatic faculty is de.
yeloped among the Tyrolese. At Brix.
legg, in the lower Innthal, | saw some
years ago a very impressive passion play
performed by the people of the village
which was said to he much what the Ober-
ammergau play was before Bayard Taylor
made it known 10 the world and started IL
on Its course Of financial prosperity. This
year we made fine run To Brixlegg TO
see, in the same barnlike playhouse, n per
Torrance of "Speckbacher, representing
incidents Of Hofer's patriotic campaigns
against tho Bayarians and the French
The title role was taken by young man
who looks much like Defregger's portrait
Of the hero. He was stick and the Hofer
was rather ponderous, but tie minor
parts were capltally given, ana the young
woman who played the peasant heroine
gave great pathos and interest to the play.
In Pradl, an outlying warl CT Inns
bruck there is noted peasant thcater
where local plays, with high develop
ment Of the patriotic element, delight tho
popular audience on Sunday afternoons
and give much satisfaction to the visitors
who attend them during the summer. Ono
of the most successful Of the dramas was
written by the wife OF a shoemaker in
Pradl, who plays the leading part with
great acceptance. In Meran in the au-
tumn months, in fine open air theater,
the play of "Andreas Hofer" is said to be-
unusually fine. Hofer was a native Of the
Presidential, which debouches at Meran.
The costumes Of his time still prevail
there, and its traditions still live, 50 thas
this play is said to be marked with great
historic accuracy of setting.

An interesting piece Of chess news is
sent from ST. Petersburg by the CORE
spondent of the London Daily Mail He
says that Count Tolstoi, who is now
staying in st. Petersburg. takes up from
time to time new hobby and devotes
himself TO it with astonishing energy.
Chess is the latest OF these, and the
count is now studying openings, COM
binations and end games with great as
siduity. Visitors to the house where the
great author and social reformer lives
in striking simplicity may frequently
find Count Tolstoi and his wife and
children playing chess as if their lives
depended upon the result. The tables in
the various rooms are nearly all marked

July ID, Is

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, w. Va, and
one of the most widely known men IN
the state, was cured of rheumatism
after three years of suffering. He
says: 81 have not sufficient COM
mand of language to convey any idea
of what l suffered; my physicians told
me that nothing could be done for me,
and my friends were convinced that
nothing but death would relieve me of
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberain's Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
wers swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg wonld burst, but soon after | be-
gan using Pain Balm, the swelling
began to decrease, the pain to leave
and now consider that l am entirely
cured. For sale by druggists.
