The Beef Roundup.

Great Falls, Mont, Sept. 6.-Chair
man M. E. Miller presided at the recent
meeting of the Shonkn Stock associa-
ton at Fort Benton and an unusually
large number of the members of the
association were present. 1t was decid-
ed to start the beef roundup of this sea-
son from Cutbank on Sept 4. Cars
have been ordered for the first two
trains of cattle which will be sent for
ward from Fort Benton on September
20, and the association intends to make
two more shipments of two trains each
at later dates. Different memoirs of
the association expressed their satisfac-
ton at the action taken by County
Clerk Sayre in refusing to comply with
the request of the state board of equal
ization and make the assessment on
cattle higher. The feeling found ex
preston in the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That the action of Coun-
ty Clerk E. Frank Sayre in refusing to
accept the dictum of the state board Of
equalization in the matter of raising the
valuation of cattle is approved and will
be sustained by the Shonkin Stock as
ISOLATION in connection with the other
stock associations and the stockmen of
Choteau county"
The association decided that here
after all calves shall be assessed pro
rata whether branded by their own
ers or by the roundup.

Chicapo's Busiest Corner.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
When a policeman cannot sleep there
must be something the matter That
is the case with at least one of the
officers stationed at Clark and Adams
streets and when a man CLIMBS tele-
graph pole and looks over the situation
at this corner calmly the reason is ap-
parent.
The intersection of these two streets
is undoubtedly the busiest corner in
Chicago at the present time. On each
angle building operati are going on,
and to add to the joyful nature Of the
place workmen are tearing out the
pavement on the northeast corner.
For weeks the Clark and Adams
street intersection has been a bugbear
to pedestrians, teamsters, motormen
and gripmen. At the southeast angle
the new government building is being
erected, and a high fence takes up
nearly one-third of the street. Across
the street to the west the Lakeside
building is being repaired. Just for
ninst' is the great excavation for the
Marshall Field structure, and on the
other corner a new front has been put

Bnried in a Chair.

The wishes of Reuben John Smith,
an eccentric man Of II years, who
died on Tuesday at Amesbury, Mass,
were carried ont in detail, and yester-
dav he was buried in a chair, wearing
a slouch hat, and his costly marble
tomb in Mount Prospect cemetery was
sealed up by brickmasons.
Mr.. Smith went to Amesbury IN
1867 from Buffalo, n. Y, and nothing
is known as to his early life or his rela-
tives. He did paper-hanglng and
white washing for several years, and
later drove depot hack. He was an
inve;erate checker player and a jolly
companion of the older inhabitants.
Greatly afraid of being placed in
the ground he built marble sarco-
phagus last fall. He arranged that
his body should be placed there in a
chair, and under no consideration was
it to be put in casket or buried in
the ground.
Mr.. Smith arranged with Under
taker Austin in regard to the burial,
and among the suggestions be made
was one that if it was winter time a
soft felt hat should be placed on bis
head when his body was placed IN the
iron chair within the sarcophagusi
but if in summer, no hat was to be
used.
He also expressed wish that the
public be permitted to look upon his
remains after they had been placed IN
the chair, and that after that the en-
trance should be sealed up with foot
wall of brick, the outer steel door
locked and the KEY destroyed.

How to Treat a Man.
BY A HORSE.

Under this title the Humane Jour-
nal prints the following advice;
When a man drops from sheer e1-
haustion or illness, promptly seize an
end board or a cart stake and pound
him on the head and on the ribs. If
this does not recuperate him, kick him
violently in the belly. This treat
ment will restore him if persisteHtly
administered. If a man finds his load
too heavy and feels that 1t will SER
iously strain him to proceed, kick of
fence board and knock him down,
and hammer him thoroughly with the
board. This will give him renewed
energy, and he will make no more fuss.
But do not on any account reduce the
load
If man refuses to drink when you
offer water, don give him any water
for two days. That will teach him
to be thirsty at any time you find 1t
convenient to attend to him. 1t is
good plan to ply the whip freq uently
on a man who is at work. No matter
if he is doing his best, hit him now
and then on general principles" and
to prevent him taking any comfort.
If his load is not heavy, Oblige him to
go enough faster to make up for it.
Tie your man head back in an un-
natural position, with his eyes toward
the sun. This will give him fine
appearance, and prevent him from
stumbling"
In winter remove his clothing "to
prevent his taking cold" He will al
so dry quicker" when you overwork
him. You must hang blanket on
his back (but leave his neck and limbs
e1posed) when he is not at work.
Men thus treated are much health
Ter" than when allowed winter cloth

How do the Taxpayers Like It's Looks.

Russell Algsr, Secretary Of War,
has completed preliminary arrange
ments for the first extended junket
under the new imperislistic regime.
He has invited the members OF the
Senate and House Military Commit
tees to take their wives and accompa-
ny him on a tour through the West
Indies. They will visit Puerto Rico
and Cuba. The expenses Of the trip
will be paid by the Government.
Secretary Alger and bis guests will
sail from New York March 6, which
is Immediately after the adjournment
Of Congress. on the steamship Berlin.
and will be gone until April /. The
party will live on the steamer during
the entire journey and make short
trips into the interior Of Cuba and
Puerto Rico.
The ostensible object Of the junket
is to study the military requirements
OF the islands.
1t is generally believed now that
the army bill will not become a law
at this session. 1t is believed every
member Of both committees will sc'
cept Secretary Alger's invitation.

Don't object to pleas ures given you

Don't hesitate at meals or come

Don't correct the children Of your
hostess. Mothers resent this, and be-
sides it is none of your business.
Don't give orders to servants in other
peoples houses or ask questions Of an
unpleasant character.
Don't leave umbrellas, overshoes
hats and coats every where. A visitor
without order who neglects to keep
belongings in her own room is trial
Of the worst sort.
Don't gossip,repeat scandals and tell

Let no man or women be butt for

Don't when visiting compare your

Don't entertain your friends with the

Every one, big and little, speaks fol

A Bear In A Theatre.

An enormous silver-tip bear, fren-
zed with an liberated tooth, which It's
master was trying to extract, escaped
from its cage in the Creighton
Theatre at Omaha and created panic
before being captured. In addition
to frightening a number of persons,
the big bear seriously hurt its master
Paul Batty, badly lacerated a stage
hand and tore the clothing off the
manager of the theatre.
Manager Mcdonald was assisting
Batty to extract the tooth, and a
crowd of men and boys surrounded the
cage of the enraged animal, witness
ing the operation. The brute was
fastened down with chains and leather
bands, but when the trainer touched
the liberated tooth the bear gave a
roar and burst his bonds like paper.
With sweep of his mighty paw he
threw Batty and Mcdonald to the
floor and turned upon the crowd
around the iron cage.
They fed in every direction, but
the cage was demolished in moment.
Manager Rosenthal was climbing into
the flies as the enraged beast passed
his hiding place; the bear made one
pass at the manager, and catching
his frock coat, carried it completely
away with him. He also tore the
shoe from one of Rosenthal's feet, and
then passed on in pursuit Of the crowd.
In the maze of scenery back of the
stage the bear vented his fury by de-
molshing everything in sight. By
this time the trainer recovered sutti-
tiently to direct the heating Of irons
to subdue the animal. His roars could
be heard for several blocks. He was
finally driven into the cellar of the
theatre, where surrounded by row of
redhot irons he submitted to being
bound.
