Maybe nature has constructed me on an

fact. but then I know. on the other

excuse TO wear them-to show the femi-

For the sake Of argument--though, Of
course, it isn't really the case--we will
presume that my legs are built on the
plan of the pegs Of an English sparrow.
You say that here, at least. Is a case

IL occasion offers, we are not ayerse TO
admitting that our tailors have trouble
making our coats. because of our unusu-

To tell the truth, We oftentimes direct
the conversation into this channel. in
order that We may impart this informa-

casions when brawny youths delight TO
show their proves TO simpering female
spectators-we see manly vanity In It's
most exaggerated form. The campus
Is alive with Apollo Belvlderes. who strut
around in costumes startlingly similar
TO bathing suits. and display muscles
like unto those We ind in blacksmiths'
shops. Our first impression is one Of
blushing horror, but pretty soon this
changes into astonishment and anticipa-
ton. After awhile. when the games be-
gin. we expect to see these brawny youths

: Rich Strike.

Mi5soula. March 3O.---A private
letter received here last night from
Superior states that Il rich strike has
been made in the Trout creek drain
ditch. This ditch is a bedrock drain
about mile long, that was started
in 1873. 1t is about - miles from
the mouth of Trout creek aud for the
past 25 wears work has been prose-
cutcd here in the expectation OF
striking pay gravel. AS early as 1865
a similar ditch was started lower
down the stream by old Tom Lewis
and others, but work on this was
abandoned when the new one was
started. Among the early promoters
OF the later ditch was George Il.
johnson, who spent considerable
money there before he went to Butte.
He will be remembered by Butte pco-
pie as prominent in newspaper work
in that city for several years. lie
has since died. The progress Of the
ditch has been watched with interest
by Missoula people who have been
familiar with it. and the news that
at last pay has been struck will bt
welcome information. The nature O1
the strike is not known, but it is SaiO
to be rich.

BLANCHE X. BRICE'S TACT.
How lie Exercised 1t to Avert Trouble
OH Il Mississippi Stcamhont

How lie Exercised 1t to Avert Trouble
on Il Mississippi Steamboat.
On one Of Blanche *. Brucc's re-
cent visits to New York he told Of
an experience which he had ust
after he was elected senator from
Mississippi, and it was an experience
which illustrates the tact and good
sense which always charactcrizcs him.
and which explained much Of the
success and respect which he gained
by his public life in Washington. 1t
was announced that the senator
would 60 to Washington from his
Mississippi home by one Of the Mis-
sissippi steamboats,. at least as far as
st. Louis on his way. The captain,
Il man named LcathcrS, was a typical
Mississippi steamboat captain, and
he was reported to have said that he
would show the black senator when
he got aboard Of his boat that he
would have to keep his place on that
boat, and if he put on any airs be-
cause he happened to be senator the
captain would teach him manners.
As soon as Bruce boarded the
steamboat he sought the captain and
said to him: "Captain Lcathcrs, |
am going to Washington. and a part
Of the way rs Il passenger on your
steamboat. Ny name is Bruce. and
possibly you have heard Of me. What
| wanted to say is that know per-
rcctlv we'll what the feeling of many
people who are travelling regarding
persons of my color is. They cannot
help it, and | cannot help it, aud l
am yOing to give them no occasion
for any annoyance while am pas
scngrr on your boat. simply ask
voll that YOU see to it that | am
made as comfortable as possible, and
| assure you that you will have no
reason for complaint"
The bluff captain stepped back Il
pace or Two, looked Bruce over, and
then held out his hand ana said with
great emphasis: ''Hy -. yon shall
sit at my table: you shall sit on my
right hand OH the entire trip. and if
any man objects he will have to
FIGHT me. \ man who can talk as
| YOU have and who is as lair as YOU
as YOU are is a ------ sight better tit
| ted to be a lnitod States senator
than some Of the white senators |
have carried on this boat, and on

tain made Bruce his guest llol-

The Anacuunda Recorder notes in
sarcastic vein that ''tlc Carter re-
publicanS are now busly engaged in
throwing buQucts ut Senator Mantlc."
The distinction IS invidiuus. as the
Kind Of republicans mentioned seem
to be the only republicans existing
in this broad state, but passing that,
why should not the silver republicans
indulge in the same crcditablc per-
formancc. The silver republicans
claim to be for mot one but both, :"
and us far as our Judgment goes Sell
atur Ma L. is Il bright, conspicuous
example {: this theory. None more
loyal to silly, : than he, and when OPP
portunity presented. he fought man
fully for projections. Bv SO doing he
demonstrated that he was broad en-
ouyh to differ from the national re-
publican party on one point that was
considered a vital one to portion OF
his constituency, while maintaining
Il strong belief in and advocacy
OF other policies that have had his
approval during all his political life.
Ii the expressions Of confidence in
Mr.. Mantle that have rcccnIl y fOunC
their way into republican papers il
this state arc to be considered as DO.
DUETS, all right. So far as this paper
is concerned the motive was to assure
Mr.. Mantle that while those from
whom he had right to expect sup
port were rapidly failing him, there
were others who felt kindly toWart
him and who were not SO hidc-boun(
as to think him an enemy because 1T
was friendly To silvcr.-Yellowston
