city contained two hundred thousand
inhabitants, and was defended by
thirty Thousand disciplined soldiers,

captured that city. Can you show
me any other instance of the kind
in history?

who was there, and, after he looked
at the little band, he said, is this

people | ever heard of, but the most
audacious people on Gods earth, to
come here with such an army as

His First DepOSitOr.

One of the "old scttlern LAWYERS
of Billings, Montana, has been spin
ming early time stories to the Gazette
of that place, among them being the
following:
In the year 1882, sII. M. Mund
came in here from Deadwood to
start a bank. Although he wasn't
exactly verdant, he hadn't been out
West long, and had very consider
able respect for siX-shooters and
and other implements Of like ma
ture, which were worn as ornaments
by almost everyone in those days.
He had had some experience, too,
in dancing in Deadwood, at which
times he would become very play
full, and his antics afforded much
amusement to those who gathered
to look on. For this and other rea-
sons he had become very conserva-
tive, and avoided mingling in any
questionable society.
The building in which the bank
was to be located was frame, and
was not finished when Mund and the
safe arrived SO the safe was put
temporarily in tent, which was oc-
cupied by Tulley, Hart Il Frieze, as
a hardware store. Mund had been
in these quarters but Il few days
when rough, wild-looking man,
dressed in Montana broadcloth, with
Winchester over one arm and a
brace of siX-shoOterS i'm his belt,
stepped into the tent, and, in q gruff
voice, inquired for the new banker.
Mund was pointed to as the man
wanted, and the Westerner ap-
preached.
Ugh! Are you the new banker? ?
inquired the stranger.
Yes, sir. Anything l can do for
yOu?'
The stranger reached down into
his pocket, and, in an instant, up
went Mund's hands, and his face be-
came as pale as death, while his
knees knocked together and became
so weak that he could not take re-
fuge in flight.
A broad smile spread over the face
OF Tom McGirl, the cattle baron, as
instead Of II siX-shOoter, as Mund
eXpected-he drew out twenty-five
thousand dollars in bills for deposit,
and asked, in a gruff, business-like
way:
Are you ready to do u little busi-
ness p
The agony was over, and Mund's
pulse soon began to beat regularly
again"

Keeping the Log.

When the good ship Petrol was ON
her last voyage, the mate was ap.
pointed to keep the log. One dav,
however, he indulgcd too freely in
the forbidden cup and was unable to
attend to his duties.
The next day, quite late, after his
head was once more able to hold his
cap, he decided to write up the log.
Turning to the page Of the day be-
fore he was surprised to find this en-
try:
&" Mate drunk all day"
"llcrc," he said TO the captain,
"l-l w.wouldn't put that in, would
you? 1t isn't necessary"
" Why not ?" replied the captain.
It's true, isn't it?"
Yes, it's true, suppose"
Well, then, | guess it had better
stand"
So the mate resumed the log and
began writing it up for that day.
When night came, the captain, as
usual, glanced Ovor the record, it was
his turn to be surprised, for, stand
ing out in large, black letters, were
the words: Captain sober all day."
Here, Mr.. Mate" he cried out,
"come here. What do you mean
by this, you fool? Why anybody
would think it quite unusual for me
to be sober. What do you mean,
sir ?"
"Can't help that" responded the
mate. :" It's true, isn't it ?"
Yes, it's true, suppose"
Well, then, guess it had better
stand"
