idea that in order to maintain a suit in
the courts of this state to enforce a
contract made within this state, a for
eign corporation must allege and prove
that it has complied with the laws OF
the state emitting it to do business
here and make contracts of this char
acter. We do not understand this to
be the law. Mr.. Thompson in his COM
mentaries on the Law of Corporations
at section 1865, after discussing this
question fully, concludes as follows:
Tn better opinion, therefore, is that
in an action by a foreign corporation
to enforce a domestic contract, it is not
only not necessary for the corporation
to aver and prove in the first instance
it's compliance with domestic statutes en-
titling it to do business within the domes-
tic state, but that unless the defendant
makes an averment of noncompliance in
distinct terms, he cannot introduce evil
dence to show that such was the fact
I'VE are aware that the authorities are
somewhat in conflict upon this question,
but this view seems to be so consonant
| with reason that we adopt it as estab-
fishing a better rule.
This reason may seem IN CONNECT
with the holding of this court in Kent
| & Stanley Co.. VS.. Tuttle, 20 Mont. 2O3,
but such, in fact, is not the case. IN
that case it was alleged in the answer
and admitted in the reply, that the
plaintiff was engaged in merchandising
| in the state of Montana, but had never
complied with the laws of this state
under whic foreign corporations be-
come entitled to do business here. IN
der this condition of the pleadings THIS
court held that it was the duty OF the
| plaintiff to show upon what its claim
was based, so that the character or the
transaction could be passed upon. IN
| other words, it appearing that II was
| a foreign corporation engaged in business
in this state, it was upon IL TO
| show that at the time the contract was
made it was engaged in Interstate com
merce. In the case under CONSIDERABLE
it appears prima facie that at the time OF
contract was made, the plaintiff was en-
gagged in Interstate ana IT,
therefore, by it's allegations, brings ltseI
within the case of McNaughton VS.. NC
Give, 20 Mont. 124, for it appears that al
the time of the contract in question mere
in was made, the plalntlff was uoihs
business in the state OF Utah ana was
shipping the products OF the state VI
Idaho into the state OF Montana LOT SAFE
..The conclusions here reached are upon
the record as presented in this court. The
defendant may so form his answer IN the
court below. if he can do so, as to prop
erlv present the question for djudica
ton when the cause is tried again.
Edward H. Whimyates is suing MS
wife Jessie for divorce on the alleeeC
grounds of desertion. In his apr

QUEEN vICToRIA's NAME.
She Was Born Miss AEON, and Her
Marriage Made Her Mrs. Albert
WettfnE
From the New York Head.

From the New York Herald.
What is the Queens family name? asks
T. p. O'Connor in Mainly About People.
1t is matter of common belief, he says,
that in the extremely unlikely event of the
entire abolition of all titular distinctions
in this country, and the disintegration of
the social hierarchy into its primitive ele-
ments, her majesty's present royal desig-
nation would be reduced to the simple
formula of Mrs. Guelph" This Is an
entire mistake. The Queens legal name,
We're she by some mysterious process 10
become a simple commoner, would be
Mrs Within by virtue of her marriage
with Prince Albert of -Coburg-Gotha,
whose name, stripped of territorial and
other furnishings, was plain ALBERT Wet
tan"
Victim is the patronymic of King Leo
pold of Belgium. of King Albert of Sax
ony, of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, of
the Duke of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha of the
Duke of SaXe-Weimar and of the Duke of
Saxe-Meiningen, as wen as of the Prince
of Wales and his brother. and of Prince
Charles of Portugal. Victim, who died in
1856 was a descendant of one Wittikind,
who was a contemporary of the great
ChaTlemagne. The majority of the reign
ing princes of Europe claim to be descend
ed from Wittikind, among them being
King Christian Of Denmark, King George
of Greece, Peter, Grand Duke of Olden-
burg, and the Gar of Russia. The patron
ymic of these four rulers is Oldenburg, the
Emperor of Russia being neither a Roman
off nor yet Holstein- Gottorp, as has been
stated:
The Queen prior to her marriage was en-
titled to the patronymic of Azon-she was
Miss AzOn in fact. OF the same name are
the regning Prince of Liechtenstein and
the Duke of Cumberland, or King of Sake
Coburg-Gotha, as he is now. The founder
of the house of AEON died in the year 1854
and was MargraVe or Marquis of Este
1t is for this reason that the royal house
Of Great Britain has sometimes made use
of the name d'Este, notably in the case of
the Duke of Sussex, a younger son of KING
George Ill, who gave the name of d. Este
after marriage, to his morganatic wife.

Performing Dogs Profitable.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Considering the investment, trained
dogs are one of the most profitable attrac-
tions in the vaudeville line" said an old
time Snowman, here with one of the cur
rent theatrical companies IT suppose
there are at Leaf twelve of fifteen troupes
of them scattered over the country he
continued, land the good ones easily aver
age a couple of hundred a week and
expenses. AS there are no salaries to pay
for the dogs and no hotel bills for anybody
except the proprietor and one keeper, the
returns are rather handsome. Nowadays,
they have the business down to such ine
point that the sudden death of any OF the
animals can be readily remedied by tele-
graphing to New York, where several men
make a speciality of keeping standard
trick dogs in stock. A dog troupe usually
consists of five performers, one of which
is a star. The star probably cost $50,
and the others about so apiece. Mongrels
of no intrinsic worth are generally select
ed for training purposes, because they
learn as quickly as the thoroughbreds and
if anything happens to them the loss is
so much lighter. There is standard
series of tricks which they are taught to
do so that one can easily replace another,
and a little ingenuity on the part of the
Snowman supplies the variety to the pro-
gramme. 1t goes without saying that the
star performer has his special act, which
some of the rest attempt. l am speaking
now of the general run of such entertain
ments. There are few collections of finely
bred dogs that have been most deliberately
and marvelousy trained by their exhibit
ors. and of course, they are unique. One
such troupe is at present coming money
by the bushel in Cuba"

People Don't Know What to Do.

When a person gets sick abed with
fever, he invariably sends for the fam
lily physician, but the average person
who is afflicted with some nervous,
chronic or lingering affection, knows
that his family doctor does not make
a speciality Of treating such cases, does
not know how to cure them, in fact,
and it is therefore true that not one in
a hundred persons thus afflicted
knows what to do or TO what doctor
to apply for treatment and cure. They
do not want to continue to suffer; in
deed, they urgently desire to get back
their health; but they cannot afford to
pay the big fees charged by eminent
specialists, so they remain uncertain
what to do. To such the offer of the
famous specialist, DR.. Greene, So West
Fourteenth street, New York City, who
has the largest practice and most sue
cessful treatment for diseases the
world has ever known through his sys-
tenn of cure by harmless vegetable
remedies, to give consultation and ad-
vice to all without fee and absolutely
free Of charges, places a sure cure
within reach of everybody and should
be taken advantage of at once by suf-
ferers, whatever their complaints. One
Of DR.. Greene'S marvellous medical dis
ccveries, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, has made his name
famous all over the world, and his in
vesUigations and vast experience have
developed curative medicines for every
phase of disease. If you do not know
what to do, or if you have failed to be
cured, consult DR.. Greene at once If
Won cannot paIl write To him freely
and fully about your case. He will
give your as every consideration,
write you explaining your exact con-
dition and give you advice just what to
do to be cured. All this costs you
nothing and we advise you to write
HIM Immediately.
