FISH THAT SPORT DOUBLE TAILS.
Curious Denixens of the Water Reared by
the japanese

the Japanese.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Two tails attached to a fish! Few
people in Chicago have ever seen such
freak of nature, but the waters con-
tain many of the sort. Nearly every
one has seen the pretty bushtail gold
fish that have four or five, or some
times more, long, wavy, filmy tails, but
very few peoplS know that but very
few of them are born that way When
the little goldfish are very. very young
their flesh is as clear as glass, so that
one can see every bone in their tiny
bodies At this time the few that are
born with two or more tails are put by
themselves, and then a queer-looking
old Jap, with great magnifying glass
fastened in front of his eye, and wee,
sharp tools handy. reaches down under
the water and cuts off the tails of the
plain little fish, and then three or four
of these tails are jointed on the back
bone where the one was cut off and
fastened there with tiny bandages until
they grow fast.
The Japanese, who are very skillful
in queer things of this kind, grow the
finest goldfish in the world. and it is a
very good business. for very fine fish of
this kind often bring as much as $500
to $500, and one sold not long ago for
81, 900.

VIII Camp on His Trail.

Missoula, Aug. Mrs. Maggie Glas-
sier. who is in the county jail, sup
posed to be afflicted with slight case
of insanity is making it pretty warm
for the officers in charge. She says
that City Marshal Angevine has placed
her in there without any cause, and
that if he don't set her free pretty
soon she will camp on his trail when
she does get out of Jail. She says that
she is not crazy and never has been.
She has refused to eat anything until
last evening, when just to please the
jailer she drank a cup of tel. She
won't let any of the other prisoners
sleep and is causing more trouble than
any one that has been placed In the
Jail for a long time. She will be given
a hearing if possible tomorrow.

Remarkable
Sale OF
Business Suits
=.

Remarkable because we
are enabled to offer some
seventy-ive swell business
suits at prices far below
their actual value. This we
do only towards the end of
each season, as they are the
odd sizes of the best selling
numbers in our stock, and
while there are only two or
three sizes of each kind,
and, consequently, no COM
plete line of sizes in any
one pattern, still every size
is here in a number of diff
ferent neat, tasty patterns.
Our fall purchases will be
large and these must be out
of the way.

Clinton started for Missoula in a pri-
vate buggy Sunday and was driving
along without any trouble until a short
distance this side of Bonner, when driv-

A Pest of Begpars,

Missoula, Aug. THE city is again
infested with a large number of beg
gars, and among them is a young man
who it seems is able to perform some
kind of work that will give to him a
better livelihood than begging. Mis-
soula has been free from this class of
people for a long time, and the good
citizens will undoubtedly give to those
that are worthy of assistance. 1t
is better, however, as the old saying
is, to give to a dozen unworthy ones
than to refuse one that is worthy.
