There are seven stories by Annie
Trumbull Slosson included under the
title of Dumb FoXgleve" These tales,
one and all, are of decided grace and
merit. The subjects are homely and
old-fashloned, quaint and picturesque,
humorous and pathetic. There Is an
odor Of ola-fashioned perfumes about
them, perfume suggestive of wild
flowers and spice boxes.
More whimsical conceits in the way
of ghost stories it would be impossible
to find than dumb Foxglove," and
The TRANSIENT perhaps Aunt Liefy'
also should be- cata1ogued as a ghost
story, for though no ghost stalks-but
then Mrs. Slosson's ghosts never stalk
through it's pages, the element of the
supernatural is more tangible than a
stone wall
Dumb Foxglove'-the New England
name for the closed gentian, a flower
that never develops beyond the bud
is taken the type of an unhappy mite,
born with an overweening love of
cookery. who is allowed to try her
hand in the next world at the dishes
she planned in this, and to serve
them on mortal table to
pa, co old friend. 1t N may be said
that so close and honlely an associa-
ton between the natural and super
natural dealing as it does with pos
sible insanity, is morbid, but truly there
is nothing unwholesome about Miss
Slossons fantastic yet tender tales.

belinda and Some Others"
! belinda and Some Others is a book
without an authors name on the title
page. Perhaps it's writer has a record
for serious things behind him and fears
to overwhelm this fippant little tale
with his reputation; perhaps he is MAX
ing his first venture, and he does not
care to hamper his future with a record
for farce, however successful. AL
though we have used the masculine
pronoun so freely, We are quite con-
fident that the author Of Belinda and
Some Others is woman.
The book is comedy-farce Of a very
amusing kind. Pretending to be moth
! ing more, it has free field for the
| absurd and is unhampered by the con-
| ventions that govern fiction Of more
serious sort. There is but little plot,
and that little Is of a highly 1mprob-
able characteristic dramatis personac
are at once too cheeky and too sue
cesS1ul. thrown on their own reSour-
ces in London, a family of two boys
| and four girls, they light on their feet
with better luck than the proverbial
cat and proceed to attain their indi-
vidual desires. Unreal as is the plot,
| the people themselves are unusually
| distinct and convincing and are clever
caricatures, If not high-grade por-
| traits The book is crammed with
| laughable incidents and clever, cynical
witticisms Of harmless character.

THE BIGGEST MINING COMPANY

1t is noteworthy that the Big Sew
en- Mining company, which pays
taxes on over s150,000 of property
has failed to secure one cents worth
of assistance from the county toward
the road to its mines.
Cascade county boasts of her miner
al resources and of the untold
wealth which lies hidden in these
mountains. Great Falls men are
ever ready to direct the sojourning
guest to the enormous industrial and
commercial possibilities of the ada
cent mineral district.
All the quartz mines of Cascade
county together are assessed at
about $220,000. OF this amount
the Big Seven is listed at $3.50, 165
or 6S4 per cent of the whole amount.
A county road extends to this mine,
and upon the good condition of said
road depends the success of the min
ing enterprise. The Big Seven
Mining company pays in taxes to
Cascade county the sum of 50, 1oO
annually; and does it not seem reas-
enable that the county should de-
vote some portion of the road fund
to the advantage of this company?
But no. The subject has twice
been brought to the attention of the
authorities, without avail. The peo-
pie of this locality consider the sub
iect well worthy the attention of the
road officials, and respectfully sug-
gests that the season is not yet toe
far advanced to remedy the detection
and put few days work on the
Snow creek road. The county should
encourage rather than discourage al
enterprises which have for their OBJ
iect the creation and dissemination
of wealth.

The new United States battleship
Kearsarge which was launched re-
Gently at Newport News made her
trial run Monday off Cape Ann, near
Boston, covering trifie over II
knots an hour. AS the plans called
for only is knots an hour, it is clear
to be seen that the vessel will be ac-
cepted, and will 60 into commission.
The Kearsarge is one of the larg-
est battleships in the world. She
will have an exact twin in the Ken
lucky as soon as that vessel is ready
to float. She weighs l1,525 tons
and is propelled by engines of TO-.
900 horse power. She has armor
belt 16B inches thick, equal to 26
inches of Harveyized steel, and
when fully equipped carries 525
men. Her cost is 50, 100000. Her
armament consists of four l3-inch,
four S-inch and IA o.inch breech
loading rifles. The secondary bat
terry consists Of 20 Glib and six l.
pound rapid fire guns, and four gat-
things. Besides this armament the
vessel carries one field gun and four
torpedo tubes.
The five battleships which the
United States is about to commiss-
ion are interesting to the naval world.
Besides the twin ships Kearsarge
and Kentucky there are three other
first class ships, the Alabama.
Illinois and Wisconsin, which will
soon be put into service. These
three are of the same type, and size.
Displacement ,520 tons, compile
ment SIS men and speed Is knots
These vessels are contracted at q
price of $3,750,000, Their arma-
ment is much the same as that of the
Kearsarge. Each will carry four
13-inch and Ia 6-inch breeeh load
ing rifles, 16 Glib and four 1-pound
quick fire guns, four gattlings and
one field gun.

THE GRAND RECEPTION.

The time is fast approaching when
the people of Northern Montana will
assemble at Great Falls to tender
reception to the brave boys who
have carried our nations flag to VIC
tory and sustained the honor and
glory of home and country. Last
Saturday, six companies of the state
regiment on the Zelandia landed at
Frisco and later, the other
six, on board the Valencia, set their
feet upon the old sod once more.
These will be mustered out at camp
Preside, and soon thereafter will be
brought to the state by special
trains chartered by the city of Butte.
AS soon as the reception in Butte is
ended the members of Cos. A. III.
and |, of Northern Montana will be
brought to Great Falls and given an
ovation which will bear the ring of
supreme propriety. All of Neihart
and the country round will then vis-
it Great Falls and join in the grand
festivities.
The invitation committee of the
grand reception writes the HERALD
regarding the subject, lmparting the
information which will be of interest
to our readers, so far at least as the
facts are positively known. We
gladly give the matter publicity.
Great Falls, Montana, Sept. 20,
1899. Editor HERALD, Neihart,
Montana, Dear Sir: AS you are
aware the volunteers of the First
Montana regi ment, returning from
the Philippines. are now in San
| Francisco awaiting "muster out"
1t is expected that Company A of
Great Falls, Company l of Lewis
town and Company H Of Kalispell,
will be IN Great Falls about October
20. 1t is the purpose of the people
of this city, uniting with those who
may come from other North Mon
tana towns, and following up the
welcome that will be rendered them
in Butte, to give the boys a rousing
reception here. We hope that your
paper will be represented on this
patriotic occasion, and we shall be
glad to have you extend, through
your columns, a cordial invitation to
the people of your section to be
present and assist in fitting receipt
ion to the soldiers of northern Mon
tana who have won honor in many
hard fought battles. All railroads
will give special rates.

A LESSON IN TRUTH.

An item of interest to our citizens
is the following table of assessed
valuation which is turned in by the
various mining companies of Nei-
hart. 1t is not just subject of
comment by this paper, and when
men swear to the valuation of their
holdings the extent to which the
perjurer may go is practically with
out limit. We publish the figures
and leave the public to judge as to
which bear on their face the stamp
of honesty and truth. 1t must be
understood that these valuations are
supposed to represent the worth of
all improvements on the mines plus
the earnings for the year:
