The Golf Girl,

In a jaunty scarlet jacket,
And a mannish little shoe,
A hat with quill aud tartan,
And a skirt to clear the dew,
on the grassy links see her
Every glorious summer day,
And forget to mind my putting
While watch her graceful play.
We have met in dreamy waltZes
When a rose was on her breast,
But her partner at the bunkers
Ia the one who knows her best
Though the ball is lost forever
And her hair 10 out of curl,
Nothing spois the sunny temper
OF the pretty golfing girl.
If all women once were flowers,
As an ancient legend tells,
She has bloomed a sprig of heather
On the breezy Scottish fels.
For the wind that roams the bracken
And the blue of morn skies
Still is ripping in her laughter
Still 10 beaming from her eyes
But in gray or golden weather,
stepping lightly TO the tees,
Making dives with daring swiftness,
Holding out" with merry ease.
To the painted balls not only
Does she bring the golfers arts,
For with Cupid as her cadde
She is playing with our hearts.

SELECTED STORY.
Ike Walt0n's Prayer.

crave. dear Lord
No boundless hoard
OF gold and gear;
Nor jewels fine, nor kline,
Nor treasure heaps of anything
Let but little hut be mine
Where at the hearthstone may hear
The crickets sing,
And have the shine
OF one glad woman's eyes to make,
For my poor sake,
Our simple home place divine
Just the wee coi-the cricket's chirr-
Love and the smiling face OF her
pray not for
Great riches. nor,
For vast estates OF castle halls
Give me to hear the bare footballs
OF children DER
An oaken floor;
New, rinsed with sunshine or bespread
With but the tiny coverlet
And pillow for the baby's head
And pray Thou, may
The door stand open and the day
Send ever in n gentle breeze,
With fragrance from the locust trees,
And drowsy moan of doves, and blur
OF robin, chirps, and drone of bees,
with often bushes of the stir
OF intermingling sounds, and then
The good wife and the smile of her
Filling the silence again
Tho crcket's call,
And the wee cot,
Dear Lord Of all,
Deny me not
l pray not that
Men tremble at
My power of place
And lordly sway
/ only pray for simple grace
To look my neighbor in the face
Full honestly from day to day
Yield me his horny palm to hold,
And I'll not pray
For gold;
The tam ed face garlanded with mirth,
It hath the kingliest smile on earth
The swart brow. dlamonded with sweat,
Had never heard OF coronet.
And so reach.
Dear Lord, to Thee,
And do beseech
Thou givest me
The wee cot, and the cricket's chirr,
Love at the glad. sweet face of her?

fire and when cool mot cold) stir until
It becomes creamy When too hard to
stir with spoon, knead with the fingers
as you would knead bread. When thor
oughly worked place in an earthen bowl
and cover with a damp cloth for few
hours or over night. This is foundation
for many kinds of cream candies. But
similar result may be obtained by using
confectoners' sugar and water as fol-
lows:
UNLOCKED FONDANT.
One pound of confectioners' sugar, va
nilla for flavoring, enought cold water
to moisten so that It can be nodded with

ed sugar and arrange on fncy plate.

place of the stone enclose a piece of the

three drops of water and slightly melt.

knife.
Many other varieties may be made
according to taste and materials at

B. & B. May Construct a 600
It. Stack to
CARRY OFF SULPHUR FUMES
Extensive Improvements Contemplate
ed For the Boston & Montana
Plant at Great Falls

Since the advent of warmer weather
nothing has been heard of the smelter
smoke problem. Last winter the people
of Butte were ready to tlay the smelter
owners; as usual during the cessation Of
the sitting smoke the people forget all
about it and will continue to forget it I'M
til another winter rolls around. If the
people have allowed the matter to rest,
however, it is some consolation to know
mat the Snclter managers have not. Dur
ing the past few months they have exam
ined dozens of different plans submitted,
many of which were guaranteed" by the,
discoveries as a true and speedy solution
of the smoke question. In almost every
instance the processes were found to be
impracticable. Some of them would work
successfully enough in laboratories but
when applied to the mammoth smelling
plants would not work at all.
The impression prevails that the flue
proposition is the only feasible remedy
at hand For several months the Butte
& Boston and Boston & Montana officials
have been preparing and examining plans
and while nothing has been decided upon

be constructed at some convenient point
on the hill above the Butte & Boston
smnlter ii neaderyilie. There is a linger-
ing doubt in the minds Of the officials of
the ~ as IL the ultimate success
Of this scheme ana for that reason, the
matter of it's construction is being he'd
in allegiance.
A Butte mining man makes the SUCCESS
ton that all the smelling companies op-
Grating here should be asked to contrib
ute to the erection Of such a stack for the
purpose Of testing its efficacy as a smoke
dispenser, With the understanding, how
ever, that should the stack prove sue
cessful. the Butte & Boston company
should defray the total expenses of it's
construction. The fear is expressed, how
ever, that the whole matter will be en-
tirely forgotten anti! the fumes from the
smelters again unplca sanity tickle the
threats Of the citizens.
The Boston & Montana litigation is not
in any way retarding the development of
It's splendid mines or the enlargement and
Improvement of its plant. From Great
Falls comes the report that extensive ad-
ditions are being made to the plant. Con-
tracts have been let for the enlargement
and ~remodeling of the concentration,
which will require about half a million
feet of lumber. The old structure will be
raised six feet to conform to the recent
additions; a new hue and ten new ovens
will be built and other improvements at
an aggregate cost of half a million dollars
will be made during the present summer.
And yet there are Boston publications
which will publish silly stories about the
probable pctcring out of the Butte mines!
