Death of j. H. Lotus.

j.. III. Lotus, an old timer Of this
place committed suicide in Anaconda
last Saturday night by taking some kind
of poison. He was stopping at the St.
Elmo lodging house when the deed was
committed, and Dependency was the
cause. He left a letter explaining the
cause Of his act and asked heaven to
forgive him.
This is a sad end to the life of II good
man. He had IA fair education and had
been in excellent financial circumstance
es before he saw Ncillart. He came to
Montana in 1864 and was up till the
ems. ~Scrupulously honest in all his
dealings he made friends wherever he
went. After leaving Neihart, about 81,
months ago he went to Helena, thence
| to Butte and Anaconda in search of EN-
| %ployment, but met with poor success
After having helped thousands Of unfor
tunatc mortals in trouble he was too
proud, to ask one of his friends for AS
sistance, but preferred to close life
pages by his own hand.
He was Il Free Mason, II member o
the G. A. r. and Il consistent Christian
full of kindness and deeds of mercy
That he should find cause for such a
act is especially sad, but God is just
and J. II. Lotus will DE received i
mercy. He was n of ten Thousand
and any man in trouble, who ever me
him, will bear witness to what is writ
ten.

/ remember calling at the office of a
great Partisan newspaper with a friend
who wished to have rectified a state
ment published in it concerning him.
When our business was made known,
we were ushered into a handsomely
furnished room on the first floor. Seated
at desks, without a trace of pens, ink
or paper or of anything in a literary
way except some new novels, together
with a few packages Of cigarettes, were
two gentlemen whose appearance made
a considerable impression on me-. They
were faultlessly dressed in deep black
(the duelist's COLOR. Each had the rib
bon Of the Legion in his buttonhole,
their long jet black mustaches were
waxed out to a point as fine as a

manner, their voices, their gestures and
the expression of their eyes and mouths

claims the man who at one time or an
other has worn a uniform. These were

A Roland For His oliver.

1t is said that Professor John Stuart
Blackie often told ION HIMSELF this
anecdote, which seems to indicate that
personalities are not agreeable, even to
those who deserve criticism.
This genial old professor used to
form a very picturesque feature in the
Edinburgh streets. He was a why old
patriarch, with handsome features and
hair falling in ringlets about his shout
ders. No one who had seen him could
possibly forget him.
One day he was accosted by a very
dirty little bootblack with his "Shine
your boots, sir?'
The professor was impressed by the
filthiness Of the boys face.
Il don't want a shine, my lad," said
he, "but if you'll 60 and wash your
face Til give you sixpence."
GA RIGHT, sir, was the lads reply.
Then he went over to a neighboring
fountain and made his additions. Re-
turning, he held out his hands for the
money.
"Well, my lad" said the professor,
you have earned your sixpence. Here
it is"
"Idinna want it, auld chap" return.

keep it and get yer hair cut"

It Injuries Ep,ouHi i;."pir Certain Cells
OF me i.t.H.
Modern science iHas brought to light
nothing more ]curluusly interesting than
the fact that worry Viii kill. More re-
termine, from recent discoveries, just
how worry does kill
1t is believed by many scientists who
have followed most carefully the growth
Of the science of brain diseases that
scores Of the deaths set down to other
causes are due to worry, and that alone.
The theory is a simple one-so simple
that any one can readily understand it.
Briefly put, it amounts to this: Worry
Injuries beyond repair certain cells Of
the brain, and, the brain being the nu-
tritive center Of the body, the other or
gans become gradually injured, and
when some disease Of these organs or
o combination of them arises death
finally ensues.
Thus does worry kill. Insidiously,
like many another disease, it creeps
upon the brain in the form of a single,
constant, never lost idea, and, as the
dropping Of water over a period OF
years will wear a groove in a stone, SC
does worry gradually, imperceptibly,
but no less surely, destroy the brain
cells that lead all the rest-that are, SC
to speak, the commanding officers Of
mental power, health and motion.
Worry, to make the theory still
stronger, is an irritant at certain points
which produces little harm if it comes
at intervals or irregularly. Occasional
worrying of the system the brain car
cope with, but the iteration and reitera
ton of one idea of a disquieting sor
the cells of the brain are not proc
against, 1t is as if the skull were lai(
bare and the surface of the brain strucl
lightly with a hammer every few sec
onds, with mechanical precision, will
never a sign of a let up or the failure o
a stroke.
Just in this way does the annoying
idea, the maddening thought that will
not be done away with, strike or fal

Imposing on the Dealers.

Aside from kid gloves, there is no
article sold in connection with which
merchants are SO imposed upon by their
"best'' customers as umbrellas. This is
a tender theme. The tempers of the
wives of our best customers are not to
be trified with when it comes to re-
turning half worn gloves or umbrellas.
With a dignity not attained on any 9TH
er hemisphereiin the habitable globe,
she sails into the store OF the merchant,
slams down the battered relic that has
acted as playhouse and tent for the chill
dren of the nelghborhood and demands
a new umbrella for the miserable
apology sold her only three months
ago." She declares it has only been
used three tines and only with the
greatest care. The merchant has to ac-
cept this as final, offers her the choice
Of his stock, ard she sallies forth with
the air Of a eonqueror, conscious that
she has triumpled. Then he pockets his
loss and wonders what the next imposi-
ton will be, and people wonder why sc
many retail merchants fail or commit
suicide. If an umbrella is properly
made, of good material and decently
used, it will wear for years.-Hard.

Sane Advice to Young Artists.

"Don't give in was about the gist
Of what Sir Wyke Bayliss said to the
English art students in a lecture at the
South Kensington museum. He told
them what ought to be their watchword
"Do not believe, he said, in the in
sidious lie that the devil is always
whispering to the soul Of the artist
that the golden age of art is past and
that what was done yesterday cannot be
done today, for art is in it's decadence.
Such an assertion was the danger of the
time, and he would have them track it
to its source and kill it there. 1t had
two forms-despondency and tempta-
tion-but he urged them not to be in
fuenced by either. Let their study be
based upon knowledge, the knowledge
that had accumulated during the ages
and was formulated in what was known
as academic training, and let their
knowledge in turn be based upon their
own study"
Certainly that is the best of advice,
for what has been done before can be
done again.

What Fruit Contains.

Our ordinary fruits contain the fol.
lowing substances in greater or less
proportions:
A large percentage of water.
Sugar, in the form of grape and fruit
sugar.
Free oragnic acids, varying according
to the kind of fruit. For example, the
predominating acid is malic in the ap-
Pile, tartaric in the grape, citric in the
lemon.
Protein or albuminoids, substances
containing nitrogen, which resemble the
white of eggs and are its equivalent in
food value.
Pectose, the substance which gives
firmness to fruit and which upon boil
ing yields various fruit j~ellies.
Cellulose or vegetable fiber, the ma
terial that forms the cell walls, and
which is found in all parts of plants.
A very small percentage of ash or
mineral salts. -Dietetic and Hygienic

The II most precious and priceless
possession on earth is peace of mind. II
is the mental capital out of which all
worthy work springs. 1t is the first and
the n indispensable condition of any
achievement worth the name. And
when one comes to think of it his peace
OF mind is seldom invaded by others,
but instead by his own moods, his OWE
trains of reflection. Life should be
radiant, Astounding, serene, with the
positive serenity of high purpose and
noble e~xhilaration, not the mere passive
repose or W. inertia that is sometimes
mistaken for serenity. Serenity is the
state of Astounding purpose, of generous
enthusiasm, of the continual outgoing.
not at all of passivity or of brooding
over ones real or imaginary trials. -

"We are not running around looking
for jobs at mendiDg jewelry," said a
salesman in a large Chestnut street jew
elry house, land we don't shrek with
joy when such Jobs come in to us unso-
licited. You wouldn't believe it, posi-
bly,, but we are not fond of assuming
charge Of anything to be mended unless
it mi from a well known customer.
The greatest trouble is due to the forget
fulness of strangers, who take a watch
or a ring to a certain store to be fixed
and neglect to remember the exact ad-
dress of that store. You'd be surprised
how many cases Of hat sort we have to
bother us.
why, only the other day a man
came in here and asked if we had fin
ished the mate for his odd cuff but
ton. We hadn't seen his cuff button
and told him so. He was indignant.
What! he yelled. Trying to beat me
out of it?' Then he called us all kinds
of names and threatened to bring suit
against us. Well, l simply had to do
the usual detective business and trace
that lost cuff button. l put on my hat
while the man was wran2ling with the
head of the firm and started up Chest
nut street, making inquiries in all the
jewelry stores. / finally found the old
cuff button three blocks away in a store
that didn't look at all like ours. When
| told the man where his button was,
he wouldn't believe me. Utterly i'm
possiblep he said. However, he went
out, and we haven't seen him since.

II Is Called Eureka and Is An Excellent
uluminnnt.
The new ylene-has
now a rival, to which the name of u
reka gas has been given. This gas is the
invention of Mr.. Hector de Fazi Of
Montetiascone, Italy. 1t is said to be
obtained as follows: Lime as pure as
possible is employed as a base, colo
phony and calcium carbide being add
ed. One thousand parts of the mixture
ready for use consist of 900 Of quick
lime, so of colophony and so Of calcium
carbide. There is said to be no fear Of
explosion by mixing with air, nc heat
ing of water and no special burner need
ed. One thousand parts of the mixture
give go liters of gas at a pressure Of 35
millimeters of water. The photometric
intensity of the flame is stated to be o.
candle hours, and the same amount OF
calcium carbide employed singly would
only give Is candle hours. 1t is claimed
that eureka gas is so per cent cheaper
than acetylene, or that at equal cost il
will give half as much more light.-1n-
