The Independents Comparison.
~HE Helena Independent in it's ed

~HE Helena Independent in it's edi-
ton of yesterday seeks to COM
pare Senator Whiteside with
Judas, who betrayed his master for
thirty pieces of silver. 1t is true that
Whiteside obtained thirty pieces of
paper money which have the total value
of 100000, but the parallel varies in that
instead of betraying the honor of his
master, the state of Montana, for this
sum, Whiteside refused to do so.
Surely the Independent while COM
pairing Judas with Whiteside, would not
infer comparison between w. A. Clark
and the worthy Master of Judas. For
to mankind, not to do evil. The Master
of Judas spent his life in the endeavor
to make men better, not to tempt them
1t was the Master of Judas who said
Lead us not into temptation" 1t was
the Master of Judas who was shown the
kingdoms of the earth and offered them
all if He would do evil, but He set a
glorious example at that time for the
world to follow. The Master whom
Judas betrayed did not go to men who
all their lives had been honest and up
right and seek by the sudden glitter
of more gold than they perhaps had
ever seen in all their lives before 10
tempt them beyond endurance. He did
not take advantage of a poor mans
poverty--of his desire to give his fam
lily few Injuries they had always been
denied, to tempt him beyond his power
to resist and accomplish his eternal dis
grace. The Man whom Judas betrayed

Plenty of Good Men.

From the Jefferson Valley Zephyr.
There is no lack of democrats in Mon
tana who are able and well fitted for
the duties of United States senator.
Foremost among them is Hon. j. K.
Toole he has been tried and found true.
After four years in congress and four
years as governor he stepped from pub
lie life without a blemish upon his pub
lie service. He served the people of
Montana without once wayering. He
would do so again. He would be the
representative of no feud or faction,
but of the state. His selection would
be wise and a happy en1ing to a feud
that, if continued. must sooner or later
disrupt the party in Montana Let
democracy choose wisely, and with the
choice bring peace and hope.

An Inn I'm ,JaDau.

The singing girls sat around and gig
gled while we drank tea; they giggled
and sang and giggled while we were
initiated into the mysteries of a Japa-
nese dinner; they danced and ate
sweets and sucked oranges while we
had our after-dinner smokes, and then,
at about o o'clock, they dropped on
their knees at the door, touched the
mats with their foreheads, and shuf-
fled away, giggling and chatting down
the stairs. says Travel.
What impressed us was the cleanli-
ness of the inn. There was simplicity
about everything No attempt was
made at shoddy grandeur. The mats
were unadorned. the woodwork was
unpainted. But a blue vase in one cor
ner, wherein was stuck green branch,
insignificant though II was, gave artis-
tic fragrance to the apartment The
food was served neatly in trim dishes,
and all the dishes were arranged trim
ly on lacquer trays

petizng to three hungry wheelmen.

One of the women writer's who con-
fine their knowledge entirely to their
own sex has pointed out that some
years ago ranch life was quite a fad
great point Of going with their hus-
bands into the far west, encountering
dangers, riding bronchos, hunting jack
rabbits and interviewing Indians,
merely for the excitement, the change
and the audacity of doing what men
do But the whole attractiveness of it
has vanished Our woman informant
acknowledges neatly that her sex did
not take to it kindly but only pretend
ed to in order to please the men. There
is nothing strange in this. Woman is
much less of n barbarian than man,
even when man is in his best estate
1t is very difficult to find a woman
who at heart esteems it luxury to
sleep on the ground in wet clothes aft

ed out of the underbrush. Even Mrs.
Custer and other women OF her caliber
who followed their husbands faithfully
through all the ordeals of savage life
never ceased to banker after the lux
uries, the social privileges and the
tributes which society alone could fur
uish.

THE QUEENS HORSES.


Every fine morning an imposing
cavalcade may be seen prancing out Of
Buckingham palace gates. The pro-
cession consists OF all the queens
horses and all the queens men, and It's
object IL to give the royal animals
their daily exercise.
In one respect the queens horses are
subjected to a special training. When
they take kings and princes abroad
they have to travel through crowds
and connections. II would not do for
them to shy when distinguished per-
sonages should be wearing their most
gracious and dignified air. Therefore
the queens horses are trained 80 that
the shouting OF crowds, the fiuttering
shall be no more TO them than the
tolling of a church clock TO the sedate
bus horse. Once In awhile Capt.
Nicholas, the superintendent of the
news, gathers number of healthy
youngsters, warranted 10 make a

riences Of the concert they can be

No risks are run. Before the lest

There were bands OF music and sd =

introduced.
A stroll through the royal news IS
a valued privilege. The animals are
In perfect condition and the stables are
models OF convenience and sanitation.
The harness-roOm is sumptuous. But
the chief treasure Of the news Ia the
state carriage, which, short OF Indio,
is perhaps the most ornate vehicle in
the world. IL cost about fS.OO0 and

ABUSE OF The PIANO.
Doubtless Large Per Cent OF the Instru-
msnts Could he Dispensed With
to Advantage Of Nerv-
Gus People.

A writer In Welsh paper Is great
ly concerned at the waste OF money
on the ubiquitous piano. There are,
he assumes, 45,00O,0O0 people in Great
Britain, housed In some 100000
homes, of which latter one at least In
seven contains a piano. Taking the
average cost at 800, this means $780,
100000, and allowing ten years life
rather low estimate, surely, for even
q 800 instrument-we get a yearly
expenditure of S10,0O0,000.
OF the six or seven persons in each
house probably two will ''learn to play
the piano." and an allowance OF two
hours a day for teaching and practic-
ing means an expenditure Of 100000
hours year, or 100000 working days
Of eight hours. ITO what purpose is
this wasteT" asks the writer. who evil

opinion that Music is the expansion
of all noises" Probably" he goes
on, lone In every 10000 proves a good

small fraction of 200 out OF 1000, 900,
the net result is the turning loose Of

neighbors, and generally TO make life
hideous."
This is, OF course, a humorous ex-
aggeration, but there Is no doubt that
In the present day the abuse of the in
strument is greater than it's use, and
that so far from being as DR.. Holmes

girl must learn the piano." and wheth-
er she has either fingers or taste for
the task, she Is condemned to spend so
many hours a day In what is, in the
majority OF cases, an enslaving drudg-
cry. The other day, for instance, the
principal OF large middle-class girls
school in London proudly declared
that she had eight pianos constantly
going from a. IN. to 5 p. IN. and that
of the sixty pupils In the school not
one was not under pianoforte instruc-
ton. On the other hand, this mere
machine music-making has become a
constant torture. not only To persons
Of fine musical sensibilities but 10 the
large number of people who are
cursed with sensitive nerves, and who
find II almost impossible to get away
from the too irritating tum-tum which
comes from every street, and every
third house. Sooner or later we shall
have TO interfere with the liberty Of
the individual to be a nuisance not
only 10 his neighbors. but to the gen
eral public I'm this particular. There is
no reason why we should not begin
at once by initiating the practice in
some continental cities where piano
practice is forbidden after IL O'clock
at night or even go the length of Wei
mar. where no one must play the pia-
no with the windows open.

The men are noble specimens physi-

His 10th Birthday.

Last Thursday Rev. Theodore Brooks
was seventy nine years old and in COM
memoration of an event that never happen
ed before and never will occur again, he
invited quite number of his friends to
his residence to take dinner with him
self and wife.
After the substantials had been prop
erly disposed of, short time was devoted
to intellectual refreshments. Brief re-
marks of an extemporaneous character
were made by Rev. Fred Linsell David
Woodman and o. w. Rowland. Rev.J. III
Rennie read the following short poem
prepared for the occasion:
TO ELDER BROOKS ON HIS SEVENTY NINTH
BIRTHDAY.
81 have lived for those who loved me"
SAYS the saint of seventy nine;
"And the years have passed so quickly
On the broad swift wings of time.
/ have tried to lift those higher,
Who believed me to be true;
Ten thousand though they may not be
Thank God, I've helped few.
I've tried to preach the gospel,
In its purity, with love
l have tried to point the wayward ones
To the Heaven that smiles above.
Now my day of service ceases,
| am ready for His call,
Yet, fain would linger longer,
'Mong the needy, after all.
The time of my departures nigh,
I'll wait, dear friends, for you
Tn the Heaven that smiles above me
And awaits my spirit too"

In Hard Luck.

A band OF Germans, who were or
dered to play before the emperor,
played so well that he ordered his
servant to fll all their instruments
with gold. Just my luck" said the
man with the tin whistle; mine will
hardly hold any" A short time after
they were again ordered to play be-
fore his majesty, and this time they
played so badly that he ordered them
to go and swallow their instruments.
"Just my luck" said the tin-whistler.
"I'll have to swallow mine, and they
can't"

Tho International Council Of Wo-
men In London was called - gather
Ing" but, judging by results, II was
rather scattering Probably no such
assemblage Of representative women
ever before met for consultation, but
there have been assemblages Of wo-
men which accomplished much more.
The trouble was that the directors Of
the international affair tried to make
their mission as large and as COM
plicated as the meeting. They had
something to say about everything.
1ney had prepared papers on religion,
art, science. philosophy, education, po-
htical economy, drama, cookery. dress
reform, medicine, motherhood and
mathematics They reached out into
all the spaces Of thought, swept the
whole horizon Of the universe and bur
rowed down into the hidden mysteries
of the human heart Most Of the phi
losophers and reformers OF the other
Sex stood aghast at the comprehensive
hurricane haste OF the congress. But
despite the oppressive sense of infinity
that it awakened the congress mani
tested considerable more discretion
than it's many elements were In the
habit of exercising In their separate
coteries. Much OF this was owing to
the conservative way in which the pre-
siding officer, Lady Aberdeen, kept her
foot on the riotous feminine. She gave
the keynote to the proceedings by an
nouncing with incredible bravery that
''this congress holds fast to the be-
lief that woman's first mission must
be her home" Many Of the delegates
felt a strong desire either to scream OF
TO faint at this announcement, but the
foot of Lady Aberdeen was firm, and
she insisted upon holding the nose Of
the congress down to 1rst principles,
and it went along copiOusly, saying all
kinds of things about all kinds Of sub
jects, but treating man with considera-
BILE less acerbity than usual. Conse-
quently, although the congress had no
appreciable effect upon events and
has not turned the course OF destiny, il
nevertheless betokened a larger sense
of relativity and a kindlier feeling to-
ward oppressed man, who was virtu-
ally admitted to be painful necessity.
