VULGAR EXCLUSIvENESS.
Simplicity and Cordially Are Always
the Truest Signs of Good
Breeding.

Men and women who by contact or
travel know the worlds best society
need not be told that simplicity and gra-
ciousness are the invariable character
istic of the highest breeding. IL this
fact could only reach the minds of that
class of people who talk of Exclusive
ness" of -four hundreds" of the "yul-
garity of trade" OF not knowing any
n e outside of "our set" what a grateful
social change would be wrought. That
cold stare of the would-be elect is but
the expression Of an underlined, pow
erty-stricken soul. What is exclusive
ness" 1t is that human policy which
shuts individuals off from the enjoy
ment of their kind, by which society
gains, since an inharmonious element
is thereby removed. How pathetic is
the isolation of the determined nristo-
crat, especially in n small town where,
other stirring interest lacking, human
relations mean so much. Could even a
Divine microscope detect the difference
between the naked souls of q bankers
and n grocer's wife? How infinitely
stupid it is to draw lines in small places
instead of honestly enjoying all there
is to enjoy. II one has had superior adj
v%antages, is there no obligation to give
pleasure, to make sunshine in Others
lives because of that good fortune? The
time is at hand when intelligence
will be too widespread, progress TO a
more vigorous plane of thinking too
real TO admit of men and women look
ing askance at one another TO make
mental invoice of social, financial OF
other probabilities. viii it not soon
penetrate the dullest brain that wealth,
rank or leadership are powerless as
shields against unhappiness, or as
props to mental, moral or physical de.
ficiencies; that there is positively nc
honest or sensible basis for Judging in
dividuals except individuality. = Ella

SOME LITTLE-KNOWN FACTS.
Which show How Little We Know of
Each Other and of Our
Country. =.

Only IS per cent. Of all the fami-
lies in America employ domestic help,
leaving So per cent. without even one
servant.
III all the dressmakers known to ex-
list in America worked "a hours OF each
day for a whole year, without stopping
for sleep or meals, they would still be
able to make only one dress apiece for
less than seven-eighths of the women
of America.
Not six per cent. of all the women
in America spend as much money as
$50 per year on their clothes.
Out Of 12,000,O 900 American families
the income of 100000 OF these fami-
lies is less than $500 each per year, and
the incomes Of nearly so per cent. of
the entire number are less than $1,000
each per year.
There are scores Of places in this
country where only m mail comes
every ii days.
Ask the average person where the
central point of area is in the United
States and he will fix it somewhere in
Illinois. Tell him it is nearer San Fran
cisco and he will be incrCdulous until
he remembers that Alaska is within
the boundaries OF Uncle Sam.-Edwar.

As to the form Of Introduction. the
simpler it is the better. The double
introduction has entirely gone ont Of
fashion. DO not say: LET me make
you acquainted with" but say, mere
Is: Miss Brown, let me present Mr..
Gray to you" II two persons who are
intro luced are interested in some one
art or science it is well to mention
this fact, but in making introductions
it is inadyisable TO label people. DO not
introduce q woman as "our distin-
guished poetess," nor n nan as "the
greatest hero of our recent political
battles" Both statements may be
true, but it is embarrassing to both
parties to an introduction to hear these
personal eulogiums.-Leah Lanceford,

"llyER-EATlNG JOHNSON.
Goes TO the California Soldiers Home to
Spend the Remainder Of His Days.

"Liver-Eatlng Johnson has been n
well known man in Montana for
more than u decade, his last years
being spent in Yellowstone and Car
bon counties.
Several residents OF Fergus county
were in the fight with the Indians on
the lower Musselshell where the hero
Is reputed to have earned his title.
Among these Is Col. G.. X. Norris of
Judith.
The Carbon County Democrat of
the 18th inst. contained the wing.
John Oliver Eating) Johnson de-
parted Saturday for California where
he has permission to enter the soldiers
home. The health OF the old scout
has been failing very rapidly for the
past year, and his once po werful ply
sique is not recognized now in the
feeble ndbroken-down old man, who
boarded Saturdays train. Yet there
was n time when the name of
Liver Eating Johnson was n terror
to the Montana Indians, many OF
whom his trusty rifle has assisted in
their research for n land where snow
IS at a premium.
1t was chiefly as n raconteur OF the
brave deeds OF the past that the pres-
ent generation knows the Liver Eater
and his "reminiscences were told with
becoming modesty. From the COM
mencement of this town Johnson has
made his home here. And it was
plain to see that he was most reluc-
tant to leave it, even when his better
judgment convinced him against his
will that 1t was the part of wisdom
to accept the provision made for the
nations heroes. Indeed it is not a
two to one bet that Dad Johnson
will not turn around in his tracks
and come back to Red Lodge, to spend
his few remaining days among the
friends he loves and il would not be
an unwelcome sight for u good many
Of our best citizens to see old Liver
Eater arrive at the Red Lodge sta
ton.
