They had gone but few yards FROM
the house, when a slender, well-clad,
elderly man, with piercing gray eyes,
touched his hat and motioned to them
to stop. This man had military bear
ing, and was accompanied by young
black man, who carried a large double
valise, slung over his shoulders like
pair of huge saddle bags.
Would you please to tell me where
one Squire Condit resides2" asked the
stranger, In well-bred tones, his keen
eyes fixed the while on Ralph's face.
The Captain pointed out the house.

Col. Graham raised his hat, said he
would be honored and delighted to visit
the Captain, and then resumed his
journey, followed by the sturdy black
man.

CHANGES DESIRED.
Republicans Draft Bill to Change the
".- Civil Service Law.

Republicans Draft Bill to Chang. the
Civil Service Law.
Washington, Jan. 5.-The bill fol
the reform of the civil service law,
which has been drawn by q special
committee Of republican members of
the house, makes several changes in
the present system, the most i'm
portant Of which is the establish
ment Of .tiye-year tenure Of office
for those department. employees who.
are brought within the terms of the
bill. The measure limits the appli-
cation Of the civil.service system to
the departments in Washington and
to such other localities where the to-
tai number Of employees exceeds 25.
All appointces are commissioned for
five years with power of removal
clearly regulated and vested in the
appointing power. 1t is provided,
however, that no fremOyal shall be
made for political or religious causes,
and in case of removal the cause
shall be specified and the papers
made record Of the Office. All per-
sons now in the public service are to
terminate their service five years
from the time that the act takes ef-
feet. .*m..~z. ". ~
The measure recognizes the gener-
al Eligibility Of these persons for re-
appoin tment. 1t includes in the
civil service postal clerks and letter
carriers in offices having over 10 en-
ployes exclusive Of subordinates. 1t
| limits the civil service regulations
to clerks whose compensation is from
5000 to 81 800 per year and includes
as clerks copyists, computers, count
crs aud draughtsmen. It is pointed
out that the essential idea '.0f the
foregoing bill is to take out Of the
civil service all responsible and i'm
portant Offices, limiting it only to
clerks in Washington and certain
large cities, and in these cases fixing
a tenure of office foritive years.

Gallatin County's Freak and How lie
Conducts Himself.
BoZcman. Jan. 5.-Sherilf Frans-
ham and Andy Corbly of Spring Hill
brought into town today James Dar
tis, whom they found in frozen
conditioner his ranch about Is miles
from Bozeman. 1t is supposed that
DARTS was taking some wood to his
cabin and somehow fell and was un-
able to get up again. He was insen
sible when found and is still in that
condition.
There are but few people in Boze-
man or in the county OF Gallatin for
that MATTER who do not, by sight
at least: know old Jimmy DARTS, the
A'miser OF Gallatin valley" This old
man, who looks to be 60 years old or
more, has mortgages on Il score or
more ranches in the valley, and holds
the absolute title to several farms
and other real estate, and is reputed
to be worth $50, 200 or more-he pays
taxes on $50, 600. His familiar fig
ure is often to be seen on the streets
Of Bozeman clad in an old brown coat,
worn out 20 years ago, which he Sc
cures to his person with old nails
and, pieces Of rope: a pair of pants
which were probably made when
Montana was first discovered, and
from which the buttons have long
since parted company, his feet en-
cased in old gunny sacks over which
are drawn an old shoe and a boot,
with portion of the leg gone: shirt
he has none, but in it's stead he has
a remnant Of an undershirt, which
he picked up from some garbage pile,
and his headgear, winter and sum
mer, consists of an old cloth cap
from which the original color has
been gone for, To-, these many years.
Where he came from no one knows.
That he came here in the early COS
and has ever lived miser's life is
about all that is known Of his life.
A few years ago he used to drive a
team Of horses-one big one and a
little cayuse, Which he hitched to his
old wagon with pieces Of rope, old
straps and bits Of bailing wire, all
picked up on his journey around the
Ecountry in quest Of the almighty dol
lar due as interest on his mortgages.
His bedding consists Of several old
quilts, or rather pieces Of quilts,
picked up in the alleys and back
yards, from the rubbish heaps, and
are remarkable Tor their flthiness
| His food, when he eats, which is as
seldom as possible, is piece Of bacon
and some flour mixed with a little
water and grease, and cooked in the
frying pan after the bacon had beer
taken out, the whole washed doWt
with pure water. The only extrava
gance Old Jimmy INDUCES in i.
whisky, and he is often found in +;
state Of int0xicaticn by the cit,
police, who promptly borrow wheel
barrow and take him to the city jail
After paying his fine the next morn
ing he generally departs for some Q
his country residences, bemoanin!
his hard fate and mourning the S
fine. His only aim in life seems t.
be the acquisition OF money in SOM
way. At his best he is not the kim
of a man whom one would point ou
as being the ''rairest work Of God"

The Monrpc DoctEjrc From q New stand
point.

point
q Minneapolis lawyer Judson N.
Cross by name, has sprung the fol-
lowing question. Assuming the in
tent and meaning Of the Monroe doc
trnc to be the resistance Of any at
tempt by any foreign power to ac-
quire new territory On this continent,
what would be the attitude Of tioe
United States, in the event Of Eng
land becoming engaged in war with
other lorcign powers, if such powers
at war with England should attempt
to occupy Canana? Mr.. Cross holds
that under the accepted intcrp:e13-
bion of the Monroe doctrine We
should defend Canada from foreign
attack and occupation Just as we
proposed to defend Venezuela. and
as it is understood we would defend
any Of the south or Central American
communities, :M" ." .m
Mr.. Crosss purpose in propounding
this question is not merely to get an
answer, for he assumes, and we think
rightly, too, that this country would
be compelled to intervene for the
protection Of Canada, but his object
is to gain from the situation a great
CT reciprocity Of commercial relations
than.noW exist between Canada and
the United States, by having it open
ly known, confessed and understood
between Great Britain and the lTuit-
ed States, that In the event of the
mother country getting cmbroilcd
with her European or Asiatic neigh
bors, she.need bcstow no care for. or
worry about her buXom daughter who
lives next door to us: that Uncle Sam
would post his land and sea police at
her Atlantic and Pacific gates and
prevent all intrusion. In view Of
this expressed intention and warning
to all other powers, it is thought by
Mr.. Cross that condition of trade
might be brought about that would
result in tearing down the fence be-
tween us, maintaining only such
circumspcct surveillance Of imports
al Canada's S ocean frontiers as would
prevent any invasion Of our foreign
tariff schedules. A second adyan-
tagc arrived at by Mr.. Cross is the
untrammeled use by either country
of canals and water courses now more
or less limited. Other points to be
gained arc equal rights for American
fishermen with Canadians, in Cana
dian waters, and a joint protective
interest against predatory sealing in
the Pacific. 1t is doubtful if any or
all or these advantages to the United
States would be conceded in exchange
for the performance Of a duty which
this country must at the outset con-
icss to be binding upon it 1t seems
to be case where England can de-
mand and insist upon the enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine for the
protection Of Canada, or else its ab-
dication in whole as IN American
