LAW.
A Butte attorney expostulates u

A Butte attorney expostulates up
on the anti-gambling law, saying:
There is no question that nickel
in-the-slot machines will have to go
along with faro. They are games of
chance played with cards, and the
house that uses them after midnight
of June 30, is undoubtedly guilty Of
an infraction Of the law. 1t was un-
questionably the Legislative intention
to exempt from the laws arms such
games as pool, billiards, bowling al
leys, shooting galleries and bagatelle.
as these games are elsewhere licens.
ed in the statutes by an act passed
subsequently to the anti-gambling
bill. [ do not consider that the law
prohibits selling pools OF running
poolrooms. Pool selling is not q
game at cards, neither is it played
with any device. 1t is simply an in.
vestment of money put up against an
event, and does not come within the
purview of the anti-gambling law. L
is my opinion however that all socia
or parlor games played for prizes are
as much prohibited as is faro.

w Wonderful.

A prayer which was none the less
the sincere expression of fervent
gratitude from the fact of its anus
ing and very definite and needless
illusions to infinite power was made
by a New Hampshire delegate at a
missionary convention, some years
ago.
After offering thanks for the
Lords provision of his servants to
labor with strength and earnestness
of purpose in foreign lands, giving
up the ties of home and all other
interests in their devotion to the
cause, he concluded his prayer thus
And we thank thee, o Lord, for
thy wonderful power over this world
in which we live, for, although
thou hast made the earth and caused
it to revolve in a strange manner
and with great velocity, and al
though our missionaries T scatter
ed all over the globe, still so mar
velously hast thou balanced the
centripetal and centrifugal forces
that as yet not a single brother has
been thrown from the surface into
unending space. = Youths Com

Some of the glad young people of the
South Side have a new game. 1t may
not be SO new either, but it always has
a fresh interest because in this game
every players knowledge of current
events can be tested. Each one playing
the game has a slip of paper bearing the
name of some well known man or woman
pinned squarely in the middle of his
back. He cannot see the card, but all of
the other players can. They address GER
tain remarks to him and ask questions,
and from the nature of these remarks
and questions he is supposed to guess
who he is-that is, what name is on his
back.
Sometimes it does not require much
of a tip to enable a person to guess the
name. For instance, the other evening
one of the players was told, "You ought
to get your side whiskers trimmed. "
Immediately he said, II must be Wash
Ington Hesing."
Another player who was told that he
would probably like Washington better
than Chicago at once made the shrewd
guess that he was Lyman J. Gage.
One young man said to a young wom-
an, "What lovely red hair you have!'
And she replied: Certainly. / am Mrs.
Carter"
The most casual reference to ducks
satisfied one man that he was carrying
the name of Grover Cleveland. A man
who was told he ought to give his son q
chance said: "That's easy enough. I'm

"a Runner With the Fire Laddies.

In "a Boy 1 Knew" Laurence
Hutton's "reminiscences of his boy
hood in st. Nicholas, there is the
following picture: The boy was
never a regular member of any fire
company, but almost Is long as the
old volunteer fire department exist
ed he was what was known as a
runner" He was attached, in a
sort of brevet way, to Pearl Hose,
No. 20, and later to No. II Hook
Ind Ladder. He knew all the fire
districts into which the city was
then divided. His ear was always
alert, even in the St. Johns park
days, for the alarm bell, and he ran
to every fire, at any hour of the day
or night, up to 10 o'clock p. M. He
did not do much when he got to the
fire but stand round and "holler. =
But once-a proud moment-he
helped steer the hook and ladder
truck to a false alarm in Macdougal
street, and once-a very proud mo
ment indeed-he went into a tene.
ment house, near DR.. Thompson's
church, in Grand street, and carried
two negro babies down stairs in his
arms. There was no earthly reason
| why the babies should not have
been left in their beds, and the col,
ored family did not like it because
the babies caught cold. But the boy,
for once in his life, tasted the de.
lights of self conscious herois1n.

When the bank directors were
through with their daily work of
being told that everything was all
right, the president of the institu-
ton set up the cigars and then spun
this yarn:
II began as an errand boy and
learned the banking business from
stem to gudgeon. I had neither
money nor influence on my side, but
I knuckled down tight and Won my
way. I've seen runs on the bank
and saw a Denver cashier lay out two
robbers that tried to draw money
with their guns, but the worst scare
was after / had risen to the dignity
Of paying teller. Our president had
a very perverted sense of humor, and
behind his solemn face he was often
chuckling in some of the hidden re-
cesses of his anatomy. One after
noon he called me into his private
Office, locked the door, had me take
a seat and kept me on the rack for
five minutes by not saying a word.
SAT length he wanted to know,
in a stage whisper, whether I knew
that a large sum of money had been
taken from the bank. I was thun.
derstruck and must have looked
guilty, but managed to enter a dis
claimer. Strange he said; very
strange! It's your business to know.
Then he asked me if l drank, gam.
bled, gave theater parties or paid
attention to more than one girl at 6
time. I was getting pretty warm,
when / heard a smothered rumble
that became louder and louder. II
was the old mans laugh working
its way to the surface. Then he tool
me by the hand, patted me ON the
head as he did when 1 was a mes
senger and told me that 1 was to be
the cashier at a handsome increase
of salary. Judders, who then held
the position, was going to retire al
his own request. That big money
had been taken by a heavy deposition
to pay for a silver mine. "-Detroit

MANUFACTURER VS.. WOOL
GROWER.

A shout of general joy rises from
the wool-growing districts, as wool
rises to 139 cents. This or the prom
Use Of a tariff bill, which offers very
little protection to the wool-grower.
Had Senators Carter and Mantle had
their wishes granted, the duty on
Montana's wool product would have
been much better for the local inter-
est, but the mild protection of the
Dingley-Aldrich bill for wool is
much better than the no protection
of the Wilson-G German Brice tariff
law.
The National Woolgrowers' asso-
citation presented reasonable de-
mands in vigorous terms to the pres
ent congress, and in both house and
senate had able defenders of their
cause. But the Manufacturers asso-
citation is the more powerful body
more powerful because the Weather
and more compact. This latter asso-
citation was for protection to wooden
fabrics, and so it decried every cause
which might add to the cost of raw
wool, which its members must buy,
in order to keep the mills running.
They claim a high protection; even
such as is able to shut out the Euro
pean product in many lines of manu-
featured goods, and their claims were
granted. But f~oreseeing that every
cent of duty on raw wool tends to re-
duce the value of their protection,
they essayed to fight the National
Woolgrowers, and in the fight were
victorious. The Manufacturer, of
Philadelphia, the organ of the Manu-
facturers' club, was most rabid in op-
posing the woolgrower, begrudging
him even the barest shred of protec-
ton. 1t assails the wool producer
for daring to ask of the senate what
it asks of that body in behalf of the
manufacturer. In the selfish view OF
the club, the manufacturer is entitled
to protection, but the agriculturist to
none!
And this organ, which demands the
sort of protection best suiting the
manufacturer derides those demo-
Gratis who voted to put a duty on cot
ton, calling them, "men of the agra
rian type, who sometimes ally them
selves to one great party, sometimes
to another, according as may best
meet their private purposes" Thai
journal says: "They represent the
land, and the things that come out o.
the land" as if it were a crime to
represent the land or to defend the
interest of granger or grazer, but
highly p~raiseworthy to stand for the
interests of a combination represent
ing 5000, 100000 of capital, because
the latter needs protection! 1t fur
ther says: "They are the same mel
who wished to give us a money o
silver, who wished twice the dut,
they ought to have on the fleece,
who ask for a duty on hides.
If this organ of the Manufacturers
club wants to destroy the %protectiv'
system, it al not go a better wa.
about it.
