 Harper's Magazine: The moeeasin Is the most rational and comfortable of all footwear. Tn moeeasins the feet have full play; they can bend and grasp; there is nothing to chafe them or to impede circulation. In mocca- sins one can move like an acrobat, crossing slender and slippery logs, climbing trees. or passing with ease and security along dizzy trails on the mountain side where a slip might mean sure destruction The feet do not stick fast in mud. In the north, when the mercury Is far below zero ard Q civilized boot will protect the Set Ef1n freezing, the savage suffers 70 convenience His moceasins, slutsd with dried grass, let the blood couse freely. The perspiration may freeze on the hay in a solid lump of ice, but the feet remain warm and dry The buckskin moccasin. Indian tanned with deers' brains and wood smoke, always dries soft after a wetting. In autumn, when all the leaves and twigs are dry as finder, man wearing shoes makes a noise in the forest like troop of cave'~y; but in moccasins he can move swiftly through the woods. with the stealth of panther. The feet are not bruised, for after enjoying for time the freedom of natural cov- ering, these hitherto blundering mem bers become like hands, and feel their way through the dark like those of a cat, avoiding obstacles as though gift ed with a special sense. Best of all, the moccasin is light. Inexperienced sportsmen and soldiers affect high topped laced boots with heavy soles and hobnails, imagining that these are most seryiceab1e for rough weather. But these boots weigh between four and five pounds, while a pair of thick moose hide moecasins weigh only Ii ounces. In marching 10 miles a man wearing the clumsy boots lifts 20 tons more shoe leather than if he wore moceasins.

The funeral of Thomas Holman, who

which was crowded with friends of the
young miner. Rev. John Hosking Off
ciated and preached an appropriate
sermon from the text found in First
Kings, 24:32. He spoke Of the uncer-
tainty of life and of the great import
ance of ever being ready to receive the
last summons. 1t was a large funeral,
many miners being in attendance. The

body buried here. The young man was

OODG|kG THE LICENSE
Clever Scheme Operated by the
Maple Leaf Club.
A VIOLATION OF THE LAW
The Liquor Dealers Association Made a
Discovery When the Case Came
Up for Trial-A Demi-
Monde Club.

1t isn't every town that can boast Of
women of the demimonde Whether it
is anything to boast of or not, Butte
has produced such an innovation. The
club is known as the Maple Leaf club
and has its headquarters in the Little
Terrace, new section Of the bad lands
that is rapidly springlng into promi-
nence The club is nothing more nor
less than little fiction that was in
vented as an ingenious scheme for
evading a law without actually break
ing it, or, at least, handing out a SEM
blance of it to the public, for it may
prove yet that the law is being violated.
1t was brought to public attention in
the police court one day last week when
one William Henshaw was before the
court to defend himself against a charge
of selling liquor without license.
For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain," the heather Chinea
isn't in it with the schemes Of the Ma
pie Leaf club, of which Henshaw is the
manager.
There is in one section of the bad
lands a double row of brick houses, or
rather, there are two buildings facing
one another with a court between, and
each of the buildings is divided into
three-room houses. There are 20 of
them altogether. They were built a
few years ago by an erstwhile promi-
nent Butte attorney especially for that
class of women of the half world who
live in the cribs on the row. But they
did not pay and they We're sold to q
certain other well-known individual,
who fitted them up new, styled them
the Little Terrace and with the assist
ance of his Heutenants has evolved the
scheme of the Maple Leaf club to make
them produce revenue
One reason the row had never been
popular was that saloons were not
handy enough, SO this necessary adj
junct had to be provided. AS the fe-
male tenants and their patrons would
scarcely keep a saloon going and pay
the high license in a locality where
there would be very little other patron
age some scheme had to be devised to
get around the license law. The Maple
Leaf club was the result of the gray
matter expended on the situation.
A sideboard was opened at No. in
the Little Terrace. This is the head
quarters Of the club and Manager Hen
shaw. When a woman wants to occupy
one of the cribs, instead of renting her
a house. she is required to join the club.
She is charged S. or 81 as an initiation
fee, according to the location of the
house on the row. She doesn't require
any recommendation to get in and
there is no blackballing of a candidate
by the members. II she has the price
she can get in.
On paying the fee the new member
receives the regulation club card read
ing:

WOMEN HAVE A ROW.
And Fire Interrupts an Exchange of
Choice Epithets.


There is a war among the mediums, for
tune tellers, oecultists and massage ex-
perimenters who live in a little row of
frame houses on South Arizona street.
The fortune teller's business has been on
the decrease for some weeks, it is said.
and she attributes her hard streak of luck
to the rapidly increasing business of the
woman who administers the massage
treatment.
Recently one of the number of myst,-
fiers fell i'll and then the good-looking
medium found herself surrounded by Wis
tors who called to obtain a glimpse of
the future, In order to see, II possible If
the sick woman had made a date with
anyone in the spirit land The fortune
teller could have settled the whole con-
troversy If the sick woman would have
consented to a brief sitting, but she
would rather die than submit besides
shs didn't intend to give the fortune teller
the satisfaction of knowing anything par
ticularly interesting about her case any
way, so there! The medium would be
consulted with pleasure, to be sure, but
she didn't propose to tell the fortune
teller about the case, for it wasn't her
practice to deal with material subjects;
hence the medium and the teller of for
tunes arrived at the parting of the ways
right there.
The trim little theosophist and healer
offered her services, but she was snubbed
by representative of the Christian Sci,
ence clan, who promised TO bring the sick
woman out all right. But the sick woman
wouldn't consent, because some of her
customers were opposed to Christian Sci
ence on general principles, and she would
rather die than offend one or more of her
good customers.
Things got hot. The houses are too
close together to admit of a great amount
of friction. But there was friction. The
arguments were likened unto a butcher
knife held against a swiftly revolving
emery wheel. The seintillation was ex-
cruciatingly beautiful.
One of the woman says she heard some
one say: "Pll burn you up" Another is
quoted as saying, "Oh, you're not so
warm!' while another Clipped in with:
"You give me a PAIN etc.
Things got literally warm: so hot that
an alarm was turned in yesterday morning
from box g. The fire department was
soon on the ground, No. 923 South Arizona
The heavens were illuminated and every
body. Chief Sanger included, expected to
see a big conflagration. 1t was blaze in
woodshed. This communicated to the
paper on the wall in one of the Kitchens
The firemen quickly extlnguished the
flames and the damage consists of the
loss of the woodshed, and So will cover all
of it. The buildings belong to Police Mag
istrate Sullivan and are not insured
Chief Sanger thinks that it is probable
that some one might have gone into the
woodshed and dropped a cigar STUMP
probably lit a cigarette and didn't think
to blow the match out. He heard about
the ruction in the little colony. but does
not presume to say that any of the
threats made were Intentionally carried
out to the red letter.

fiction is kept up to the extent that a
set of rules and regulations has been
promulgated, a printed copy of which
Is posted in each house. These are as
follows:
Il. You are required to pay dues,
from IS to 81 weekly, according to To-
cation of room.
g. All dues must be paid in advance.
49, Each member Is held responsible

cept the usual usage of same.
"A Members who are instrumental in
having refreshments served from out
side sources work a complete forfeit of
membership and dues.
90. None but members can occupy
rooms owned or operated by the Maple
Leaf club.
So Members shall be held RESPONSE
BILE for refreshments served to their
guests.
"7. Members are requested to report
to the management any negligence or
unbecoming conduct or attendants of
the club.
IS. Members who desire rooms from
the club must affix their signature in
the register of the Maple Leaf club to
show good intention of following the
foregoing rules"
Ask one of the women how much rent
she pays, and she Will tell you she pays
no rent, but pays dues in the Maple
Leaf club and gets her room as a men,
Der of the club. 1t is a very ingenious
fiction. When Henshaw was arrested
last week the case was dismissed be-
cause the main witness for the prose-
cution did not know what he was sup
posed to. but the case will doubtless
come up again. The promoters of the
scheme claim they sell liquor only to
club members and that in this they
have a good defense.
