REUNITED IN ANACONDA
Strange Story of a Little Boy
Who Thought He Was Lost.
HE CAME FROM HELENA
Insisted He Should Go to East Helena,
but His Mother, Long Separated
From Him, Was Found
in This City.

Herein is told the story of a little
boy who thought he was lost and of
the strange reuniting of mother and
son in Anaconda.
When the delayed train from Helena
arrived in Anaconda early yesterday
morning a9-year-old bewildered hoy was
set down on the platform. he seemed
entirely lost. Some kindly person took
pity on him and led him to the Mon
tana hotel, from whence a telephone
message was sent to police headquar-
tiers.
Officer Gerald Sullivan was the only
officer at headquarters when the call
came in. He responded, and on arriv-
ing at the hotel the boy was turned
over to him. The child, who is a polite,
well-bred youngster. said his name was
George Dometrovich and that he want
ed to go to East Helena, where his
parents resided. For the last four
years, according to his story, he has
been living at the sisters school in Hell
ena. He said that Tuesday night he
| had been put aboard the thain to go to
| East Helena, had fallen asleep and had
only awakened to find himself in Ana
| conda.
As the child did not appear very
| bright and his story sounded strange,
Officer Sullivan, after giving the boy
| breakfast at restaurant, set out to
make Investigations. Consulting a city
directory, he found several people bear
| ing the name Dometrovich. "Marko
Dometrovich, laborer. residence rear
415 Chestnut" was the name he set
down first on his list. Thither he went,
taking the lost boy with him.
A fIn he haI
| explain the matter when a stout, moth
| erly woman uttered an exclamation,
and seizing the boy in her arms, began
| to caress him.
Save me, Mr.. Policeman, save me,
| shrieked the terrified youngster, who
was not prepared for such demonstra-
| ton.
There We're several people trying to
explain the matter instantly, but none
| We're very lucid in their statements.
From what could be gathered, however,
| 1t appears that the demOnStra tive
woman was the mother of the boy.
She, her husband and the boy formerly
| lived in East Helena. Four years ago
the boy was placed in the sisters school
at Helena. Three years ago the mother
went back to Europe, where she has
since been. She returned Tuesday
night, coming to Anaconda 10 visit
relatives. Her husband is now in Ari-
IONA. The boy was to be sent to her
here, but through some misunderstand
ing she did not know the hour at which
he was to arrive. Mother and son viii
leave to-day for Arizona.
The long separation from the mother
had wiped from the boys mind all
recollection of his parent and he re-
fused to recognize her, demanding that
the officer take him to the depot and
put him on the train for East Helena,

Harrity In going to borrow pail of milk
from neighbor was dwelt upon. 1t was
also shown that Mrs. Myers could have
licked Mrs. Harrity with one hand tied
behind her without using any artificial
weapon. such as a clothes stick. The
law of trespass was eXpounded to show
that nowhere does il authorize the use
OF a washing stick on the body of a tres
passer.
After the testimony had been taken and
the attorneys had harangued the jury.
that body retired and presently returned
with verdict of acqujttal. The jury was
polled and found to he unanimous.

THINKS HE is A FIGHTER.
j. p. Moore, a Would-Bc Pugilist, Fined
in the Police Court.


]. P. Moore a frequent figure in the
police court, was back again yesterday.
Drunk and fighting are the usual
charges against him. This time it was
drunk.
At $50 o'clock yesterday morning
Moore was on Main street heavily load
ed and possessed of the idea that he
could lick anything. Officer Gerald
Sullivan was the first man to come
along. Moore offered to lick him and
the whole force. The officer seized him,
Moore resisted, there were few
punches and all was over
Last evening Moore came up before
Judge Kennedy in the police court and
pleaded guilty. Twenty dollars and
COSTS said the judge.
''All right" said Moore, II always
get the worst of it, both in and out of
court"
Young man." said the judge. you
are making a fool of yourself. You
have got the idea that you can lick
about anything that walks. but you
will find you are mistaken. You think
you are getting the worst of it, but If
you keep on this way you will find it
will grow worse right along. You think
you can always win a fight, but you
will find you are up against it here.
You do not seem to be inclined to take
advice. so ! want to inform you that
the next time you are in this court and
are found guilty l will impose upon you
every minute of sentence allowed by
the statutes. That is one fight you
cannot VIM"
Going downstairs to the jail, Moore
said to Chief White: "Tll bet you SEC
to 81 that l can win nine out of ten
fights" Inasmuch as the chief has
seen Moore brought in frequently with
a batteredup face, he will be found
taking the short end if pools are sold
at the odds suggested by Moore.

AFTERMATH OF STORM.
Five Feet of Water in Some of the Gel
lars on the Side Hill.

Cellars in the vicinity of Sixth and
Seventh streets are still flooded as the
result of the clOudburst in Sheep gulch
Tuesday afternoon. In some instances
great difficulty is experienced in get
ting the water out. Deputy Sheriff J. ].
Walsh whose residence is at 3l5 East
Sixth street, has five feet of water in
his cellar and is thinking of starting a
natatorium. The water was so high in
that vicinity that in some instances it
came in at the window.
Street Commissioner Shovlin, with a
considerable force of men, was busy
yesterday repairing damage done to
the streets by the cloudburst. At the
court house there is also a force re-
pairing damages.

do not ride it; it pulls you along.
Frankly, | am at loss to understand
why a lady who rides in knickerbock-
ers on a bicycle bushes at the idea of
mounting horse astridc.
''Oh, never, never! The dress should
be loose and flowing; so loose, in point
of fact, that, once off the horse, no one
should even notice that the skirt was
divided. Anything mannish would be
ngly and detestable. am only telling
you what any lady would tell you.
So to speak, the riding dress of a
woman is that of a man, with long
skirt spread over it to hide the fact.
The present way in which woman
rides is trying, insane, and even pain
full. With a divided skirt l have no
fear of any mortal horse that ever drew
the breath of the prairie of civilization,
but stuck up on one side it is another
matter"

HAD HIS SHARE.

Recently a Detroit medical man
told this tale at professional BAN
quet.
"Not long since," said the doctor, "a
member of the medical profession died
and in due time approached the gates
of the Beautiful Land. He was, of
course, accosted by St. Peter.
"What is your name?' asked the
aged door-keeper.
'''Sam JONES' was the reply.
"'What was your business while OH
earth?'
"'I was DOCTOR"
"'Oh, physician, eh?'
"'Yes, SIR
"'Made out your own bills, l sup
pose?'
"'Yes, sir
"'Coilect 'em yourself?'
"Why-why-yes, sir stammered
the wondering shade of the physi-
clan.
"And then St. Peter threw wide the
portals and said: SO right in my
friend; if you've done that you've had
punishment enough"

Perhaps the most infallible indication
of a weak or jejune mind is the use of
superlatives, or the tendency to declare
of every thing, or the last thing con-
demned, that it is the "most absurd
or that "mothiny can be imagined more
preposterous," when the assertion itself
supplies proof to the contrary. And
yet | am tempted to assert that of all
subjects deserving attention there is
not one on which the well-being of
humanity depends which is so strange
ly neglected, or so little understood as
education, which rightly understood
means the solution of all social reforms
and all the benefits which humanity is
capable of enjoying.
As simple, and, indeed, subordi-
nate part of education for young and
old, let us consider the development of
the constructive faculty in children and
to what it leads. This is briefly eX-
pressed iE the minor arts, as for in
stance simple outline decorative design
drawing and its application to one or
more handcrafts, such as panel carving,
embroidery, or modelling in clay. Of
these arts there are between one and
two hundred. all so easy that any child
can, by aid OF elementary drawing,
learn one or many in Il few weeks, so
as to be able to make money or other
wise profit
The profit consists in the stimulus
to mental action given 10y the least de-
velopment Of the constructive faculty.
This is SO extraordinary and has been
50 fully illustrated and proved by ex-
perience that it has often seemed to me
to be almost miraculous-that is to
say, incNplicable. Thus if we take two
children Of exactly the same capacity.
and for one year or more let them pur-
sle the same course of ordinary studies
in the same school, pnri poSS", but
cause one to devote one or two after
moons in the week to study under in
structipn of design minor arts, while
the other learns nothing Of the kind, it
will be found that the former invari-
ably eXcc.S in the common branches,
such as arithmetic, geography, and his
tory. 1t was found in the public
schools of Philadelphia that amon@
10000 children the 200 who attended
the art classes We're thus first in every
thing. Subsequent observation in
Europe has amply confirmed this.
In like manner children who Irac-
tise contingent games or sports which
awaken attention and observation. are
distinctly those who learn arithmetic
most readily Having paid great at
tcntiOn to this subject, declare that
it has been as accurately Y tested as the
other just referred to. Thus | know a
man who is celebrated in many re-
spects, especially for a vast variety of
knowledge and for discoveries, yet who
has never been able to learn the multi
plcation-table or get beyond the most
elementary arithmetic. He attributes

then opened the door, and it is difficult
to say which excited me most-the
awfulness of the situation or the dis
tressed cries Of the negroes. Upwards
of hundred lay PROSTATE on the
ground, some speechless and some with
the bittercst cries, but with their
hands upraised, imploring God to save
the whole world and them. The
scene was truly awful, for never did
rain fall much thicker than the meteors
fell towards the earth; east, west,
north, and south it was the same"
The star shower of November, 1866,
was also fine one, although it did
not equal that of 1888. 1t COM
menced few minutes after midnight
on the morning of November 4. The
observations made at Greenwich OBJ
servatory show that about 20 meteors
per minute were visible at 12:45.
There was then drop to so per mi
mute, and sudden rise at l a. m., to
120 minute. The number then fell
to about 80, and rose again to 120
minute at about 1:30 a. m. 1t then
rapidly declined, and at a. M, the
number per minute had decreased to
about 80. The display was completely
over at 5 a. m. At the Radcliffe OBJ
servatory, Oxford, over 1900 meteors
were observed, but the total number
visable must have been considerably
more; most of the metcors were white,
but some were of an orange hue. A
large number were brighter than the
brightest of the fixed stars, and few
brighter than the planets. They u.s.
ually left steaks of greenish light be-
hind them. The showers OF 1861 and
1868 were best seen in North America.
In all these star showers the meteors
seem to radiate from a fixed point or
small area in the we'll know ''sickle of
Leo" This is called the radiant"
point.
What is the cause of these meteoric
showers? Astronomers now agree
that they are due to swarm of small
bodies revolving round the sun in
period of about thirty-three and
quarter years. The earth encoun-
ters the swarm when the earth and
swarm happen to meet at what is call
ed the node, or point where the plane
of earth's orbit intersects the orbit
plane of the meteors. The earth then
passes right through the swarm, and
small bodies which compose the swarm
and which are cold and dark when
travelling through interstellar space,
become raised to an incandescent heat
by the friction produced by their rapid
motion through the earth's atmos-
phere.

THEPARTING OFTHE WAYS.

L remember. you forget,
Mem'ry fades with passing days
When, as strangers, first We met
At the parting Of the ways.
Fair and golden was the morn,
All the earth so fresh and green;
All! how soon are sorrows born
Would that it had never been.
Thence our hearts together grew,
One resOlv'd to ever be;
Yes, my darling, loved you,
And know that you lov'd me.
Why was bliss decreed to die?
Why fell shadows hearts between?
Why did vows as visions fly?
Would that they had never been.
Iremember, you forget,
When our hands last fell apart;
Nought of pity, no regret,
Seem'd. alas! to fill your heart.
Years are dead, yet still feel
Love that liv'd in other days,
And cen now often steal
To the parting Of the ways.

CHILDHOOD'S DAYS.

And row of boCks-a feast to the sight
From Mother Goose and Old Dog Tray
To Robinson Crusoe cast away;
And the cows down under the barnyard shed
Patiently waiting for me-to be fed;
And the rivers lined with the birches tall
Where we sailed our raft to an island sma !,
Where grand discoveries oft were made
And lans for future greatness;
But turn my thoughts with long drawn sigh
Good-by, old home-good by! good by!

FARMING LANDS COVERED BY A TEMPORARY LAKE
New County Bridge Near South Park in Danger
Cause Of the Floods Benefits Hoped
for From Lake Washington Canal.

II HE residents of that part Of the White
river valley contiguous to the Du-
vanish river are getting a touch Of
their annual flood. AS noted in yesterdays
paper, the river is stretching its arms
over grain fields and pastures and turning
the country into a temporary lake
There has been no damage of importance
done to property up to the present. but the
new county bridge, which on completion
will span the river mile or so east Of
South Park, Is in a very prccarious con-
d.tion on account Of O large log Jam near
by. which Is added to every day by float
ing debris. making the strain on the bridge
greater as 1t enlarges.
Unless some stringent measures are
taken, II such thing is possible, the
bridge will give way under the force OF
the strain and let the jam float down on
the South Park bridge. a mile below. which
Is older and weaker and will not stand
the pressure Of the Jam ten minutes.
The annual recurrence of these disas-
trous floods has come to be the bane Of
the farmers in the lowland district. They
are a unit In favor Of the Lake Washing
ton canal. which. by lowering Lake WASH
ington Ave or six inches. would draw Ce-
dar river from its present course. causing
