The Finest Train in the World

The Finest Train In the Orld.
The finest train IN the world is the
"New North Western Limited which
leaves Minneapolis and st. Paul every
night for Chicago, via the Northwestern
line. This magnificent train, from the
mammoth engine, patterned after the ia
nous $685. to the last Car in the train,
is brand new, and represents the latest
and best ideas for absolute comfort and
luxury while travelling.
Besides the splendid buffet library car
really a clubroom on wheels, there is Il
magnificent private compartment sleep
ing car, just the thing for ladies, famil-
les or those desiring privacy, luxuriousiy
appointed standard sleeping cars and the
most comfortable and well-equipped day
coaches ever offered the travelling public.
This "New Limited train is admitted
by the press as well as by thousands of
people of Minnesota and states west who
have inspected it, and also by many
others of this western country who have
recently rode on it, as being without any
question the finest tram in the world,
and no extra charge is made for any class
of passengers for its superior accommo-
dations.
Tickets via this popular line may be
secured from agents of the Northern Pa
cific railway, who will also make sleep
ing car reservations; or, apply to Capt.
NJ. M. Wheeler, travelling passenger agt.,

Reflections OF a Bachelor.

The worst cynio in the world is de-
fenseless against the love of a little
child.
No man can put his hand on his heart
and say he loves his wife when he is
breaking i'll a pair of new shoes.
When a lot of women argue, the one
is always considered the winner that
can talk the fastest.
As soon as a girl gets a fussy white
dress ON and a fan she thinks a man
ought rather to look at her than smoke
a corncob pipe.
An optimist is a man who goes
around all the time with an idiotic
smile insisting that other men have
something wrong with their livers.
Every man has a sort of an idea that
the Lord wouldn't be mean enough to
pay no attention to all the praying his
wife has done for him.-New York
Press.

ii seems trdnge that such a calam-
ity as that which occurred i'm Paris
last week could be possible at this
advanced age. A charitable bazaar

denly there vas a cry of fire, followed
by n panic i'm which more than a
hundred lost their lives i'm an attempt
to get out of the building, which had
only n place of egrcss. In an in
slant the whole interior was in
flames, owing to the combustible
materials used i'm the decorations,
and i'm a few minutes the building
was n black ruin, embracing among
the dead representatives of the no.
bility as well as plebeians. That the
authorities of Paris should permit
the construction of such a death
trap is inexplicable, when there il
such an effort being made to protect
human life in the construction o
buildings. A great responsibility

Have Your Pianos Tuned.

Chas. II. Schlappi, the veteran pi.
anO tuner, has arrived in the city
and is stopping at the Day House.
Mr.. Schlappi is undoubtedly the
finest piano tunerin Montana; intact,
the only one who has had a thorough
factory training.
Piano owners will make.a mistake
If they fail to secure his services. No
piano should go o than a year
without tuning under any circum-
stances. Might as well let your car
riage go for an indefinite period with
out greasing. This will undoubtedly
be your last opportunity to get your
piano tuned this year.
The best testimonial that Mr..
Schlappi can offer is the fact that he
has done a great majority OF the
tuning OF a large section of Montana
for eight successive years, while
tuners by the dozen have come and
gone. Below, however, are n few
additional testimonials.
From the great piano manufac-
turers. the w. w. kimball Co., of

From the Fairhaven IN. " Registerl.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doc
tor, but he had read of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm and instead of 60
ing for the physician he went to the
store and secured a bottle of it. His
wife did not approve OF Mr.. Row
lands purchase at first, but
theless applied the Balm thoroughly
and i'm an hours time was able to
go to- sleep. She now applies it
whenever she feels an ache OF a pain
and finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicine which she
had used ever did her IA much good.

The Triton's Power.


The triton, a spotted, lizard-like rep
tile found in almost every state in the
union, has a most wonderful power of
reproducing amPutated parts. Bonnot
the great French naturalist, expert
nlented on the little creatures by am
putating their legs and tails, and by so
doing found that their powers of re-
production were almost unlimited. In
one instance an amputated leg was re-
produced 12 times in three years, and in
another an eye was gouged out and re-
produced in less than IL months. The
loss of a tail does not appear to discom-
mode a triton, except to give him n sort
of unbalanced gait. Tails clipped from
specimens. Bonnet kept to experiment
on were invariably reproduced in from
Eve to nine weeks.-Albany Argus.
