The game of foot ball which was to

IN TIME.

The clocks in this city. including the
one on the city hall under which SO
many people find their way. are very
much at variance with each other which
is very distinguishable by the variations
in the many whistles at the smelters.
foundry, brick yards, railroad shops, etc.
When the first whistle blew his morning
for I O'Clock it was $40 o'clock by the
town clock and also at Max Hammers
lough's jewelry store on Commemorative
nue.. For the next nine minutes whistles
could be heard all around the city and
each one was announcing the hour of
seven O'Clock. The B.. A. & p. railway
time is just a little slower than city time
and the time of the great big clocks in
the several jewelry stores is said to be
a little different, but the reporter could
not be at two places at the same time
hence the latter is partially supposition.
After hearing a dozen Anaconda whist
les. looking at the town clock, asking
a half dozen men the time of day and
making a train on the B., A. & p. a per-
son will have about 20 different times in
10 minutes. They are all said to be COR
rect which cannot be, but they answer
the purpose as Well as the sun on a Sec
ton fence running north and south or a
building which is plumb and has been
erected on direct cardinal points.

IT WAS A BRILLIANT EVENT
Major Dawson Was In His Element
When 1t Came to Serving
the Boys.

The members of the Butte Traffic club
and a few invited guests held one of
their meetings in this city last night
and We're banqueted at the Montana
hotel, after which several of the party
made a midnight tour of the smelters.
At the banquet covers were laid for 90,
over which Marcus Talbot, the genial
general agent Of the B., A. & P. railway.
presided as postmaster. At the Begin
ming he called for an assistant in the
person of Major j. f. Dawson of Butte,
Who was the life of the gathering, al
though he "a suffering from a hoarse-
ness from constant praise of the Great
Northern railway, which he represents.
Toastmaster Talbot's first ruling was
that no m would be allowed to talk
shop (buslness) during the banquet with
out being fined. There We're fines inn
posed for other causes AS a conse-
quence Major Dawson went broke n
Phil Daniels heavily involved, P. M. Sey-
mour badly embarrassed, while j. f.
Liebe, c. Clifford, c.. A.. St. Clair and
others escaped with heavy losses.
The bill of lading, or menu card, was
a unique affair, IN which was printed the
following palatable list:

After cigars Manager Reynolds of the
Montana hotel was heartily thanked for
the spread ne had served.
Speeches followed, in which Major
Dawson led. He said the Butte Traffic
club was formed to create closer rela-
tons between the different roads and
the men employed b. them. Each road
has two main departments-the traffic
department and the passenger depart-

a WICkED-LOOKING WEAPON.

"The new Mauser pistol, with which
our cavalry is about to be armed, is u
horrible looking piece of machinery"
said an asthetic sportsman to a Chicago
Chronicle reporter. ut doesn't resem-
BILE a firearm at all. but looks like some
strange scientific instrument such as
one might see in a laboratory. Imagine
a cigar box, japanned black With a hand
le at one end and a SHORT tube at the
other. and there you have it. The box
contains a mechanism and the tube
spouts bullets. The cavalryman of the
past was a dashing figure. He wore a
steel cuirass and a helmet With nodding
plumes, and While he carried a brace
OF pistols in his holsters his real weapon
was his trusty saber. Do you remember
the splendid fellows VINO are galloping
past Napoleon in Meiss0ner's 1907 Since
then science has gradually sucked al the
poetry out of war and the Mauser pistol
is the last work Of brutal utilitarianism.
The caValrylnan of the future will carry
nothing but a small black walnut box,
and viii closely resemble a surgeon GO
ing out to oper2t- FOR appendicitis.
When he gets to the right spot, d~esignat-
ed by the engineer corps, he will dis
mount. open the box, take out his hideous
Mauser machine, hook the case to one
end, SO as to form a shoulder rest, spray
a few quarts of proiectilas in a given di~
rection ard go home again to rest after
the fatigue Of the fray. If the calcula-
tons of the range finder are all right,
his bullets perforate somebody a mile
away. That will be war a la mode. In
some respects it is a great Improvement
ON the old style. but is VIII inspire no
poets. Imagine Tennyson writing the
Charge of the Light Brigade about a,
cavalry regiment armed with Mauser
~automatics."
