NoawAY'S SKATING SOLDIERS.
New Branch of the Military Service Has
Been Recently Organized.

A letter recently received by a promi-
nent Norwegian American resident in
Chicago from his old home says that
the Norwegian army has lately organic
ed a highly trained corps of skaters.
The men are armed with repeating
rifles. They wear specially con-
structed skate. evolved after numerous
experiments with various types. The
heel is so shaped as to enable men to
turn with great rapidity AS matter
of fact. they perform the right about
in much quicker time than infantry,
spinning round as though on a pivot
at the word Of command.
The corps can be Unanswered with
rapidity equal to that of the best-traln-
ed cavalry, and at recent review one
of the fjOrds their evolutions aston

other nations who were invited to Wit
ness the display.
For patrol and scout duty they are
expected to he of the greatest use. as
the ice season in Norway is of CONSIDER

The men are the pick of skating

ex-Champion. They are capable OF
travelling so miles day on the ice, ful'y

Mike Murphy athletic trainer at the
University of Pennsylvania, says he
could take two men and beat the Cam
bridge-Oxford team that won the dual
meet with Harvard and Yale at Lon
don. kraenzlein and Tewksbury could
he thinks, have won five events. while
with McCracken also along the Pennsyl-
vania team could not have lost.
KraenZlein could have won the high
jump, broad jump and hurdle race at
the dual meet, and Tewksbury would
have easily scored in the hundred and
more than likely in the quarter-mile.
He has equaled the time-49 2-5 seconds
made by the Cambridge student, Da-
Vison, in the quartcr-mile. Tewksbury
has never trained especially for the
quarter-mile, but there is little douot
that with special preparation he could
do wonderful time at that distance.
With three men Pennsylvania could
have won with ridiculous ease. The
third man would have been McCracken,
the weight thrower. who won the ham
mer event at the Intercollegiate cham
pionship, and defeated Boal, the Har-
ward man, who was successful in Lon
don. Murphy believes that the~English-
men will be defea ted in the proposed
return match.

NEW HOME FOR THE MIcRo6E.
Physicians Claim the Parasite Takes
Refuge in Boards.

From the London Telegraph.
In the earliest and perhaps the best Of
all Books of Nonsense" the reader was
entertained with the embarrassment of a
certain old man with a beard, who said
it is just as | feared" the apprehension
thus realized being that the fowls of the
air would build their nests in the tempt
ing thicket of hair which depended from
that old mans chin.
The beard of real life does not, of
course furnish such ample harborage for
the feathered race as this Its invasion
and appropriation by 1.-TWO cocks and a
he'll" three larks and a wren," is not
really to be feared; yet it may, it appears,
have tenants of an indefinitely smaller
size. but of inversely proportional powers
of mischief.
DR.. Schoull of Tunis has discovered that
ii is simply a happy hunting ground of
baCili. He has proved it upon the guinea
pig, whom he has inoCulated with 1.-The
material obtained from boards and mus
taches," with results distressing to the
guinea pig and alarming to all those who
had been in more or less contact with the
boards and mustaches aforesaid This is
a very disagreeab.e discovery and may Sc
riously affect the popularity of a form of
facial adornment which has hitherto been
regarded as open to no other objection
than that it is a nuisance to its wearer
when in the act of taking soup.
But what are a few stray shreds of YER
micelli compared with a whole army of
able bodied bacilli lying in ambush for
their victims, and, what is more, ready to
make victims of anybody who happens to
come within their range? No wonder DR..
ScEoul insists on the thorough disinfec-
ton of all boards and mustaches which
their WearerS refuse to remove. The next
step to be taken by the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Tuberculosis is to re-
ouire all persons who have been certified
as suffering from consumption to be clean
shavcn a well-skilled barber being for
that purpose added to the staff for each
one of the new sanitoria for tuberculosis
which are shortly to be built throughout
the country. Who is to protect the we'll
skilled barber is a question on which we
are not informed. or even as to who is TO

tient who has not suffered from Consump-
ton Until. however. some provision is
made for this his next, please" will have
a very ominous sound. Mentally completed

On the whole, We cannot but hope that
the learned DIR. Schoull is mistaken. Per-
haps the guinea pigs which were inocu-
lated with the doctors material obtained

DOWN DROPPED THE CAGE
John A. Kennedy Killed in the
Mountain Chief Mine.
ABOUT TO BE MARRIED
He Had Run a Loaded Car Onto the
Cage at One of the Levels When the
Cage Vert Down, Carrying Him
With 1t.

Word has been received from the
Mountain Chief mine, near Homes take,
of the death by accident there Monday
night of John A. Kennedy, a WELL
known and popular young man Ct
Butte. The Mountain Chief mine is
operated by the ifomestake Consoli-
dated Mining company of Chicago, of
which Henry X. Klenze is manager
Kennedy had worked at the mine about
three weeks. Tuesday evening he was
loading a car of ore at one of the lev
els. Kennedy ran the loaded car onto
the cago, but evidently the chairs were
not on, for the cage dropped to the bot
tom of the shaft, carrying Kennedy and
the car with it. The injured man was
taken to the surface, where he died in
a few minutes. Kennedy was a native
of Canada and about 81 years of age.
He was to have been married in a few
weeks to a young lady of Butte.
An inquest was held at Homestake by
the deputy coroner from Whitehall.
The testimony showed that Kennedy
was working in the 60-foot level as a
carman. He evidently thought the cage
was at the station when he showed a
car out. as he and the car fell 40 feet
to the bottom of the shaft. There was
much water in the stump, but the in
jured man managed to hold his head
above water by clutching onto the tim
bers. He was removed to the surface
as soon as possible by the men who
heard him and the car crashing down
the shaft. His back was broken and he
was otherwise badly cut up.
The body was removed to Sherma n s
undertaking adjustment last night
and is being held awaiting orders from
his relatives in Canada, who have been
notified of the death.

The STANDARDS CLASSIFIED ADS.
Mr.. Raymond Quickly Receivers His Lost
Watch Fob.

There is no use talking. one of the
Standards classified advertisements is
the proper thing. 1t costs a pittance
and it brings returns. if returns are
obtainable. For example: On Monday
Steve Raymond of the Montana Ore
Purchasing company lost a very valua-
BILE gold watch fob. consisting of a
buckle and fleur de lis pendant. He
had little hope of recovering it. but he
put an advertisement in the Standards
Lost" column. offering $50 reward. He
had scarcely reached the Montana Ore
Purchasing company office before the
telephone told him from the Standard
office that the lost was found.
Whether you have lost anything, have
a house to sell or to rent. whether you
want a situation or want help, what
ever you have to sell, put an advertise
ment in the Standards classified coll
umn and be convinced of its wonder
full merits as an advertising medium.

GANG OF BAD BOYS.
They Keep Stealing Goods From Northern
Pacific Cars.

The Northern Pacific depot agent
complained to the police yesterday that
boys had been in the practice of break
ing into boxcars and stealing canned
goods, bananas and other stuff; that
yesterday one 9-year-old boy broke the
seal, climbed into the car and passed
out several cans of Holsters to his as
sociates; and that several days ago a
lot of bananas were stolen from a car.
The agent thinks that a gang of bad
boys are doing the stealing. He also
says that much cordwood has been
taken from cars in the yard. He prom
Used that he would prosecute the chill
dren if they should be arrested The
boy who stole the Holsters was caught
in the act by a policeman yesterday
and taken to the police station, but
was released soon after arriving.

Feeding Their Dead.

Twice a year, in the first week of
April and October, the Chinese feed
their dead. They think, very sensibly,
that once their friends and relatives
leave this mortal coil they ought to
stay away from this world, and to pre-
vent their return they faithfully trans
NIT to them all the necessaries Of life.
1t has been discovered by oriental wis
dom that the way to transmit serv-
ants, songs, plays, books and money is
to manufacture them in paper and
burn them But actual eatables must
be carried to the grave.
The Chinese are not stingy, and wag-
on loads of roasted chickens, pigs,
ducks, various sweetmeats and fruits
are taken 20 the cemeteries. The food
is piled before each grave amid burn
ing red, carrot shaped candles and joss
sticks. Then the living PROSTATE them
selves before the dead and beg them
to rise up and enjoy themselves. Chi
nese wines are then sprinkled literally
over the graves, while some graves re-
ceive boxes of cigars and packages of
cigarettes.
But you must not suppose that the
eatables are left on the graves. Oh,
no! That would be throwing too much
temptation in the way Of heather
tramps. In about two hours 1t is be-
lieved that the ghosts got the essence
OF the eatables conveyed to them. and
then the devotees gather up the offer
ings and carry them home again to
feed to their own material bodies. But
the cigars and cigarettes are burned
on the graves.

A man with grip entered down
town drug store and asked permission
to look at the city directory. He was
SO long about his search that one Of
the clerks got to watching him, and
not without results. The man was ap-
parently looking through the business
indexes at the back of the book, and
whenever he came to page he fancied
he cut it out with a deft movement,
barely detectible. The clerk called the
proprietor, and between them they saw
him cut no less than five pages from
the book.
Then the proprietor beckoned to q
policeman just outside the window and
went up to his customer.

Cured the Curioua Youth

Saving over the unclaimed mail is
favorite amusement among certain
set of idle youths" said hotel clerk
yesterday. "'Any letters for So-and-
SOP they will ask, giving an imaginary
name, their object being apparently to
crafty idle curiosity by studying the
superscriptions and reading the post
ais. Last fall an idiot of that type re-
ceived a severe lesson here in this
house. He made the usual request,
giving rather peculiar name, which
he afterward admitted he had thought
of on the spur of the moment. By a re-
markable coincidence two central office
detectives were standing near the desk
at the time, and the name he gave was
that of noted crook who was wanted
by the police of Chicago very badly.
without word more than was nee
essary they took the young gentleman
by the arm and carried him off to POI
lice headquarters. He was so astonish-
ed that he was unable to make CO.
herent explanation and really present
ed picture of guilt. His story at head
quarters that he had asked for letters
under an assumed name was regarded
as so improbable that they held him
until telegraphic inquiries could be
made. OF course it turned out that he
was not the Chicago crook, but he got
the scare Of his life, and you may rest
assured that he has dropped that form
of amusement from his indulgences''-

convincinx a Connoiaueur,

Some years ago the late DR.. Colo
nette undertook to make a bottle of
port that should not cost more than
threepence which the best judges
should be unable to distinguish from
the highest priced wine that could be
obtained in the island. The preparation
was compounded openly before large
assemblage, and three competent
judges were selected to test the prod
uct. The basis of this compound was
cider, colored with an infusion Of log
wood. To this he added few grains
of tartaric acid and salt Of tartar to
give respectively a rough taste and a
mellowed appearance. When three
glasses of this compound and three
glasses Of recognized port were pre-
scented to the judges to taste and pass
their verdict, without being told which
was which, they unanimously pro-
nounced in favor of the doctors cheap
preparation and rejected the genuine
port. What they would have said the
next morning il they had consumed a
bottle Of this preparation remains a
matter of conjecture.-London Chroni-

He got warm handshake from the
tailor, who said he had received let

The part of the letter that could not

DUSK ON THE WIDE, Low PLAIN

Dusk on the wide, low plain,
And CLINT in the foreground lying
Water fringed by ring Of tremulous whispering
reeds,
And over it circling bats
And the sound Of the ldlldees' crying,
And around It the sigh of the wind in q network
Of shivering weeds.
Dusk on the wide, low plain,
And q star in the distance peering
Over the serried peaks OF shifting, vanishing blue,
And an oak tree black on the sand,
And hare Looping of through the clearing,
And. out where the tarweeds toss, the bleat Of q
wandering eve.
Dusk on the wide, low plain,
And crane to the pools descending,
And soft where the mulleins wait, the fit Of q
ground owls wing,
And hawk beating home to his perch
Where the clouds with the crests are blending
And shades Of the fastening night round the less
ening foothills cling.
