NOT THAT KIND OF MAN
Here Is an Alleged Sketch That
Is the Purest Fiction.
AND BAD FICTION AT THAT
1t Assumes to Quote Man From Butte
but the Oldest InhabItant in Mon
tana Never Saw the Like
of Him Here.

Park Row, in the great city of New
YORK, has its snare Of newspaper writ
ers VINO never saw any part of the
United States west of the Erie canal
but who, just the same, hatter them
selves that they are gifted with the
ability that is required for the writing
of character sketches suited to anv
community in this wide country. Such
a writer has recently adorned a column
of the New York Times with a sketch
which, in its innocence, that newspaper
prints as typical of Montana. The
Standard quotes it herewith as a Curl
osity and for the amusement of the
Montana public. The dialect, the idioms.
the representation all suggest a New
Englander or granger fresh from
rural New York. The like of it is not
heard or seen in Montana, except when
some tenderfoot comes out here pront,,t-
ed by a curiosity to find out whether
copper ore grows on vines or whether
they knock it off Of trees with clubs.
This western country furnishes it's
phrases, its idioms, its peculiar types.
but the phrasing in this New York
Times effort is as little suited to Mon
tana as it would be to Montreal. This
region has drawn on all of the United
States for its population Montana is
not catarrhal region; residence here
tends to correct the nasal twang char
acteristic of Atlantic seaboard speech.
and the quaint phrases of the rural
world in that section are not perpetu-
ated in the Rocky Mountain region
The western mining world has fur
nished certain prOvinCiaIisms. They
are apt the East has sought to adapt
and adopt many of them. If the writer
of what is here quoted had located his
man in Central New York and substi-
tuted the name Canajohare, for in
stance, for Butte, his sketch would
have been more true to life. AS it is,
the thing is a curious mlsfit.
He was a weather-beaten noun
tanner from Montana tall, straight,
bony and powerful Of frame. The ever
changing crowd at Twenty-third street
Broadway and Fifth avenue interested
him greatly. He sazed and stood SO
long gazing that the big policeman at
the corner, surmisinG that he was
stranger in New York. was moved to
ask him why he tarrird.
oh, nothin'. I amt used to crowds
an I'm just lookin easy like, because
it's all new. Here you see things"
But just then the policeman moved
back to untangle jam in Fifth avenue,
and the man from Montana continued
his observations to an disappearing
but good-natured looking man on the
corner.
LAS l was sayin" you see things here
you don't see in Montany, but l guess
Montany's ways amt so bad, after all.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
They Are Few in Number, But Must
De Strictly Observed at.
All Times,

The requirements of health can be
counted on the fingers Of one hand.
They are good air, good food, suitable
clothing. cleanliness and exercise and
rest.
The first OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the
blood, and as the blood circulates all
over the body, every part Of. the body,
including the brain, is affected.
Fresh air affects the purity Of the:
blood. The freshest air is out of doors,
and it is the duty of every one who
wishes to be healthy to spend a certain
amount of time In the open air.
Good food is not necessarily expensive
food.
Exercise and rest should alternate
and balance each other. It is quite pos
sible to take too much exercise, and
this side of the question must be guard
ed against just as carefully as the other.
Women, as 4; rule, do not rest sufficient
ly. Every woman should try during
the day to get a few minutes CT rest,
even if it interferes with her regular
work. 1t is impossible for her to attend
to the health and welfare of her fam
lily if her own health suffers from over
work and lack of rest.-N. Y..World.

Poultry and meat. on being served

by glazing, The process is simple. An
excellent glaze may be found by dis
solving a half ounce of gelatine in
pint of water, favoring and coloring
it with extract of beef. 10 be perfectly
successful, the meat must be cold be-
fore the glaze is put on, and the first
coat should be allowed to dry before the
second is put on. The glaze must be
warm and applied with a brush.

MADE 1T EASY FOR HILDA.
An Obll8inH Chicago Man Who Had
Things Fixed So the Iii red Girl
Need Not Worry.

Rosenthal Keeps a drug store,out Cot
tage Grove avenue way Like the rest
of mankind he has his troubles, and Il
few weeks agothey took the form of the
servant girl dilemma. The light of the
kitchen left in the dark Of the moon and
the druggist was, fain to fill her place
with another. He has hadi experience
Of the employment agency and is WISE.
He sought the newspaper and clipped.
out a ''situation wanted" adj, which he
thought would fill the bill, and he went
over to Sedgwick street to see the pros
pective successor to the light of the
kitchen. She was a descendant of the
hardy Norsemen. and looked as hardy
as any Of them. She had large bumps
on, the backs of her hands where other
people wear knuckles, and when she.
moved her arms things that looked like
hams stood out in her sleeves just above,
the elbows. But she knew her bus
mess. She didn't let Mr.. Rosenthal get
the start of her with any questions.
AS soon as she learned he had called in
answer to the ad. she began the cross
examination.
How many children have youo" she
asked in a painful way Herr English
was badly broken in:spots, as though it
had fallen from a great height. Mr..
Rosenthal was forced to confess that
he was the happy father of six.
This rather put a damper on things
at the start. Hjlda's Morse brow cloud
ed and she lost the air of insouciance
which Mr.. Rosenthal was pleased to,
note as soon as he entered the room.
Have you second girl?" she asked,
shortly.
Mr.. Rosenthal gladly admitted that:
the family had such an adjunct.
DO you send out the washing?"'
asked Hilda, imperiously.
The druggist told about that feature
OF his domestic arrangements. But he
could see that Hilda did not approve
of him and he grew reckless.
II suppose you have a big Sunday
dinner?" said Hilda.
"Yes, that's one of the best things
we do said Mr.. Rosenthal. You see,
we order an eight-course dinner from Il
caterer every Sunday, and he sends it
up in a wagon with the walters to serve
it, and then we always want the lady
who is living with us to sit at the head
of the table on Sunday, so don't think
the Sunday dinner would bother you
much"
Hilda looked at him in surprise mo-
ment. Then 4 great light seemed to
break in on her.
"Oh, you think you're smart, don't.
you?" she said.
And then the incident was considered;
closed.-Chicago Chronicle.

PERSP1RATION IS GOOD.
1t. Saves. Many People from Sickness
by Cleaning tho
System.

IN these hot days many people COM
plain loudly that they perspire too free
ly, little thinking that TO that fact they
owe the good health they enjoy and the
immunity from. heat prostration or
sunstroke.. Perspiration is essential to
health. A. persor. in good health never
suffers from.the heat or the cold unless
unduly exposed. One may be incon-
venenced but it is 4 condition OF health
rather to be sought than to be avoided.
Too much of Il good thing, however, is
not desirable. Proper care of the body,
proper diet, proper exercise, with prop
cr bathing, will produce the normal
condition-in which condition the heat
will not Cypress any one. Let me es-
pccialiy caution against the too sudden
checking Of pcrspiration. Millions of
of the body open their little mouths at
the surface and through these chan
nels, as ceaseless as the flow of time, a.
fluid containing the wastes and impure
ties of the system is passing outward.
and is emptied out of the skim
This fluid must have exit or we die
in. a few hours. If it does not have vent
at the surface OF. the bodyit must have
some internal; escape. Nature abhors
shocks as she does vacuum. Heats
distents the mouths of these ducts and,
promotes a larger and more rapid flow
Of the contained fluid; on the other
hand, cold contracts them and the fluid
is at first arrested, then damned up
and then it rebounds. If these mouths
are gradually closed nature has time
to. adapt herself to the, circumstances
by opening her channels into the great
internal waterways Of the body and no.
harm follows; hence the safety and Wis,
dom Of cooling off slowly after any ex-
ertion and the danger of cooling of
rapidly under the same circumstances.
Encourage perspiration, under proper
conditions and with proper precautions.
Always keep the surface Of the body
warm and clean and at the end of the
season you will be mentally, morally
and physically sound.-Chicago Chron--
icle.

A TRICKY MEMORY.

4 Kssa.Hinded Man Whose Recollection
Wa ut Fault.
It would afford material for an entire
PAPER to study defects of memory and
to describe some Of the curiosities of
thinking which result from such de
fects.. A writer in Popular Science
Monthly says that he saw lately bust
ness man of keen mind and good gen.
eral memory, who was not paralyzed in
any way and was perfectly able to
understand and talk, but who had sud,
denly lost part of his power of reading
and of mathematical Calculation.
: The letters; d, e, q; x and y, though
seen perfectly, were no longer rccog.
nized and conveyed no more idea to
hun than Chinese characters would to
us He haGgreat difficulty in reading
had to spell out all words and could
not read! words Containing three let
tiers.
He could write the letters which he
could read, but could not write the five
letters mentioned. He could read and
write some numbers, but &, and had
been lost to him, and when asked tc
write them his only result after many
attempts. was to begin to, write the
words six, seven or eight, not being
able to finish these, as the first and last
contained letters-x and (Which he
did not know.
He could not add 7:and: 3 together or
any two numbers Of which, g.; or 8
formed q part. for he could not cal
them to his mind. Other numbers he
knew we'll He could no longer tell
time by. therwatch.
Eor:oweekiafter the onset of the dis
ease hedid mot recognize his surround
ihgs.. On going out for the first time
the streets Of the city no longer seemed
familiar; on coming back he did not
know his own house. After few
weeks, however, all his memories had
returned excepting those of the let
tiers and figures named. But Is the
loss Of these put q stop to his reading
and to al his business life the small de-
feet Of memory was to him a serious
thing.
Experience has shown that such a
defect Is due to a small area of disease
in one part Of the brain. Such cases
are not UNCOMMON and illustrate the
separateness of our various memories
and their dependence upon = sound
