libel suit is ended. I'll drink what my
friend drinks" - 1H0
What will o have?' said the bar
keeper to the reporter.
"Glve me a glass of Napa soda" re-
piled the latter.
For the second time a look of deadly
hatred and apprehension overspread the
EDITORS countenance. and, muttering a
terrible oath, he disappeared through
the front door. while the reporter had to
score.
Thus was laid the foundation of an
other Montana feud, which will be hand
ed down from generation to generation
until long after the cause of the quarrel
shall have been forgotten. 1t will not
be the first case of the kind in that
state. The reporter noticed that the edi-
tor had shaved off his mustache and that
in his Kharki suit was hardly recog-
nlzable, except for the white hat he al
ways wears. He once took an awful
oath that he would wear it until he could
pay for it out of his salary. He will be
in the Butte procession next Monday and
will go there with Our Boys.
ABOUT BUTTE MEN.
Baron De Bats, formerly of the Lex
lnSton company, is in San Francisco. He
has just returned from his adventurous
and romantic trip through Mongolia in
the interest of French capitalists. He
and one companion "a mani traversed a
region never before visited by white men
and he relates many interesting stories
of the character and habits of the people
and the resources of the country. The
baron is now said to be examining some
California p~lacers, though, like other
scientific sharps, wisely keeps his own
counsel. Among mining men he is re-
garded as a shreWd, capable and con-
sentative young man, and his many
friends in Butte will be glad to learn of
his deserved prosperity and prospective
eminence in his profession as a mining
engineer. He was an apt pupil of Alfred
Wartenweiler and Captain Reuger, both
formerly of the Lexington.
William McDermott, one OF the
squarest men that ever lived in Mon
tana is managing the Afterthought cop
per mine, near Redding, which he bought
two months ago for Alex Tarbet of Salt
Lake for $3.50. 900. The property is de-
veloping handsomely. Next to Butte,
northern California is destined to show
more copper ore bodies in the near future
than any other section of the country.
The veins are big and rich and of excel
lent working quality. William McDer-
mott will long have a warm place in the
hearts of the people of Montana. When
in Office he did his duty impartialy;
when in private life he was true to his
friends. AS a natural consequence, being
a democrat, he felt pretty lonesome, ana
says he will hereafter keep out of poll
tics and get rich. II.

Mr.. J. e. Allison, a prominent Ken
lucky democrat, says: "The republican
nominee will defeat Goebel by 10000
votes. 1t will be the worst landslide, on
record in the state. It will give Ken
lucky to the republicans for a long term
of years, because the dissensions that
have been bred in the democratic party
this year are the initial stages of a feud
within it's ranks compared with which
a Clay county vendetta is like a fight
between al pugilists. It will also re-
year by an overwhelming majority"

PREPARING FOR A BANQUET.

A Nebraska soldier who served faith
fully in the Philippine campaign, never
missing a scrap his regiment was en-
gagged in, writes home to his wife: -
IT see they are preparing to give us a
grand banquet when we return to
Omaha. That's all right, but I want
something to eat before the banquet
comes off. And I want it at home. l
want it on the table when / get home,
too. What do 1 want? Well, here's the
list:
"Sirloin steak, rare.
"Hot biscuits and plenty of them, made
by you.
"Flou and milk gravy, about three
quarts.
mashed potatoes.
"AppIe sauce.
Corn on the cob, eleven ears. -
''String beans.
'Macaroni and cheese. "
Peaches and cream.
"Ice cream.
II want you to get all these things
ready. We I'VE had plenty to eat since
reaching San Francisco, but when things
are camp cooked they all taste
alike. Cook 'em yourself. and don
think because I've been away over a yea

GODS FACE.

From the Pail Mall Magazine for Oc-
tober we quote the following by Mr..
Marvin Dana, a u American poet of
promise:
l looked afar to God's face,
And l saw it not, though | found it's
trace.
I gaZed on %splendors of the sky M sea,
On wood and void and w~ind-kissed lea;
! SAW the throbbing throat of a thrush,
And grain that danced in the temp
test rush,
And stars and suns in ceaseless chase;
| saw Gods beauty, not his face.

A PLEA FOR

sourian, is authority for the statement
that when Colonel Bryan walked along
the streets, at the funeral of Dick Bland,
500 people reached out n touched the
hem of his garments.
Some thoughtless people are disposed
to make fun of this statement, on the
theory that the Missourians We're in fact
reaching after Bryan's pocketboot, it
having been reported in the New York
Journal that he a made $685. 900 in
eight years running for office. ~ "a.
In view of the fact that BryantNas not
touched, it must be conceded that the
only object the Missourians had was to
touch the hem of his garments
Having been told by the democratic
press and orators that Bryan is t saw
ior of the country, the men who are still
voting for Andrew Jackson for president
set by suffering humanity nineteen hum
dred years ago. wi Is
1t is presumed that they pray to Bryan
every night before going to sleep and ask
him to bless their food before they eat:
When they die they expect to go to
Bryan.
these noble Missouri democrats have es-
tablished a most valuable precedent.
While Bryan is busy saving the coun-
try in one state. they might send his
clothes into another state for the people
to touch.
In this way he could cover more
ground, besides his clothes wouldn't need
any banquet to talk at, and a great deal
of money could be saved.
Think of the effect it would have in
Kentucky, for instance, if a pair of trous-
ers were hung up in the street with a
placard bearing this inscription: "This
is to certify that these are my pants.
Signed, w. J. Bryan"
Think of the good Bryan might do for
the cause of democracy sending his old

the an~ti-expansion sore throat and have
to rest.
There are democrats in Montana even,
! who would nail his undershirt to a flag
, staff and PROSTATE themselves in humble
reverence before it, if such alteration
would bring them a postoffice or an In
dia agency. ia
In giving to the public the statement
that 500 people touched the hem of Colo
mel Bryan's garments, Champ Clark has
placed in the hands of the national DEM
ocratic committee a new system Of cam
%paigning that may carry the country by
storm.
