VICIOUS HORSE
Subdued by the Fearless Empress of
Austria by Kindness.


Austria by Kindness.
From Harpers Literary Notes.
BLACK Devil was a vicious, coal
black Stallion which no one was able
to control. For six months his groOms
had been fraid of him and had fed him
from buckets fastened to long poles.
This is how the Austrian empress en-
tered his box and subdued him:
without moments hesitation, and
disregarding the EXPLANATIONS of hor-
ror from the onlookers, Elizabeth
walked deliberately to the box and,
chrruping in a peculiar manner to its
occupant, she drew back the bolt and
cooly entered. Those present held
their breath. expecting every moment
to see the dauntless woman trampled
upon and torn to pieces. No such thing,
however, happened. At first the start
led beast snorted and laid back it's ears,
but soon the great fiery eyes softened
and grew tender, and the empress was
suffered to pat the dilated nostrilS and
arched neck.
"'Come here!' she called out to me.
he is as gentle as a lamb, poor old
boy. but he is in bad need of a brush
ing up
"where she had gone self-respect for
babe me to refuse to follow, so l
promptly obeyed her command Be-
tween us we polished up Black Devil,
and ultimately left him whinnying with
fond gratitude, a vanquished tyrant.
So astonished was the count, and so
relieved also, at finding that no acct
dent had happened, that he craved per-
mission to present the dusky beauty to
her majesty. The gift vas accepted,
but it took long time before the four
footed Devil could be induced to en-
dure the presence of man near him,
and we had all the work we could do
in attending personally to his demoni-
acal needs. However, the empress end
ed by obtaining such good mastery over
him that he used to follow her about
like s dog in the park and grounds of

Of the several very high priced in
struments still on hand two special
worlds fair exhibition styles of the

one fancy notified English walnut cas-
ed Kimball, exactly as they We're ex-

SHOWS FINE PROGRESS
A Fact That Speaks Well for
Montana's Future.
INTERESTING DETAILS
Meaning Higher Culture, Education and
Ref1nement-A Marvellous Record.
Nearly Two Dozen in
Two Days.

No branch OF education tends more
to refine, elevate and make happy the
people of a community than music in
the home In no Eastern city, even
double the size of Butte, are SO many
fine pianos sold annually than right
here, and this fact shows beyond ques-
ton that our people are abreast with
educational progress. Eastern people
coming here to make their homes will
find in Butte their peers in education,
Intelligence and refinement, and a most
desirable community in which to take
up permanent residence.
This, again, was very clearly demon
strated during the Orion clearance sale
of pianos and organs, where the num-
Der of high grade pianos disposed of
since the commencement of the sale
has eclipsed all previous records Most
of the pianos that have been sold were
the most costly and elaborate styles,
pianos so expensive that but a very
few year are sold in the usual retail
way, even in the largest cities Be
sides the beautiful grand piano in
fancy selected San Domingo mahog-
any case, that was recently sold to the
high school and which will be delivered
this week, and very costly cabinet
grand Hallet & Davis upright, sold to
the Sisters for the st. Patrick's school,
no less than dozen fancy upright pi-
amos Thus far have been sold that could
not be purchased in the regular retail
way for less than $3.50 and $500.
Among the sales made yesterday was
a very elaborate kimball cabinet grand
upright piano in choice selected rose
wood case, which was secured by Mr..
Egan of WalkervilIe, an exact dupli-
cate of which, in fancy dappled En-
glish quarter sawed oak case, went to
Chris johnson, while a third one, a
duplicate of Mr.. JohnsGn's, was secur-
ed by John Rasmussen
A very beautiful Weber upright in
San Domingo mahogany case. the i'm
est and most costly Weber ever ship
ped to Butte was delivered late last
night at a prominent residence on
West Granite street to a gentleman
whose sister secured a very handsome
Hallet & Davis upright only a few days
ago. Aside from these very elaborate
Instruments some half a dozen medium
instruments were sold yesterday, be-
sides a number of organs
1t is wonderful to note what wide
spread interest is manifested in this
great clearance sale. Pianos have been
sold and shipped during the past few
days to Billings (three), to Sand COu-
lee, to Kalispell, to Anaconda, to Nir-
ginia City, to Granite, to Dillon, to
Basin. to Elkhorn, to Missoula, to
Bozeman and several other points.
At the rate pianos have been selling
during the past few days the biggest
part of the stock will be disposed of
before the close of the coming week,

Pigeons Instead of Champagne.
m the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
All the launching of the floating hospi-
tai ship Of the St. Johns guild pretty in
novation occurred. From the bowsprit of
the boat was suspended round cage COW
cred with roses Inside were six carrier
pigeons. which, on orders from Rear Ad-
miraI Philip had been brought from the
navy yard. When the workmen had sawed
away the last beam, and as the boat start
ed to glide into the water, Miss Catherine
c Dodge pulled the cord connected with
the pigeon cage. The cage fell open and
the pigeons quickly started for the navy
yard. AS the boat slid down the ways.
without the slightest hindrance, flags were
broken out at the various nagstaffs, and
the shouts Of the spectators and the whis-
ties OF the neighborng tugs drowned out
the sound of the bug1er on the upper deck.
The bugler had also come from the navy
yard.
