TIE WIDOWS MITE.

The man who has no pity for the
fatherless aud widows fortunately
finds little sympathy in this land.
The life of Henry A Wise records the
iiscomfiture of such an oppressor.
There was an auction sale in the
little house, aud one after another the
widows few possessions fell beneath
the hammer. Presentl> the auction
eer took up Il large bowl which hap
pened to be full of sugar, and the poor
woman anxious to save it's contents,
hasteuPd into the next room TO lind
eometilinS in which to put them.
just AZ she returned the auctioneer
cried 'Soldr and the purchaser i'll
sisted that the sugar was his. The
widow pleaded for the little that was
much to her, but the man WAS OBJ
durate, and murmurs OF indignation
arose from the crowd. Angry ut this
demonstration, the man turned, and
his eye rested upon Mr.. Wise.
Mr.. Wise said he. you are a law
yer Am / right or not? If you say
am not, | will give back the sugar. If
you say am, am entitled to it, and
l'll keep it
MY friend replied Mr.. Wise, in his
gentlest tone, you put delicate and
unpleasant responsibility on me.
Had you not better decide the matter
for yourself?'
No replied the man CURLY. i
know what your opinion will be, and
| want you to give il SO that this
whole crowd CIR hear it..
Then said Wis, L a.?vise you
that the sugar is yours. The widow
cannot take it from you. She has no
redress
'Ahar cried the man, turning to the
spectators. What did l tell your
'Stopr Numbered Wise, whose man
Ter at once changed. I've advised
YOU at your persistent request as l
can prove by these people. 1t re-
mains for rue to tell you that charge
you five dollars for my adv ice, and
demand immediate payment. If you
trifle with me in the matter of pay
ment you will most certainly regret
it
The man turned scarlet, and, fumb-
ling in his wallet, produced u five
dollar bill. The crowd yelled its APP
proval, but suddenly became silent as
Mr.. Wis walked up to the widow
and said
THIS money is mine. have earned
it honestly. Take it ard buy sugar
for your children. - Youths C0mpan-

Perfectly Correct.

A young minister. in the course of an
eloquent sermon on the pomps and vani-
ties OF the world. staggered his congrega-
ton by eSclaiming:
Here am l standing, preaching to you
with only half II shirt on my back. while
you sit there covered with gcwgaws and
other baubles."
The next day parcel containing sever
al brand new shirts was left at his house
by one Of his hearers. kind hearted old
lady. Meeting the donor few days aft
erward, he thanked her exceedingly, but
expressed much surprise at receiving such
an unexpected gift.
oh" said the lady. you mentioned in
your sermon on Sunday that you had only
half shirt on your back"

you seem to forget that the other half
was in ont."-London Answers.

A SHILLING'S WORTH.

A fellow who came by the railroad,
being stranger, strolled about for
some time on the outskirts of ID town
in search Of barber. He fiuallY dis.
covered one, and requested the opera
tor to take off shIlling's worth OF
hair. The barber trimmed his locks
very neatly, soapad up the remainder
very handsomely, and then cumhed
and brushed him till his head looked
as if it belonged to some other person
than himself.
Are you done?" asked the stranger,
as the barber removed the napkin
from his neck.
Yes, SIR" said the barber with a
polite bow.
Are you certain that you took off a
shilling's worth?'
Yes, sir; there's glass, you can
look for yourself"
well" said the stranger, eff you
think you have a shilling's worth off,
1 don't know as | have any use for it,
and haven't any change, 80 you may
just take the hair for your trouble. "
On hearing this the barber made a
jump for tine man, whereupon he
made jump for the door, which not
being bolted, he holted himself.

TIE SIZE OF THE SUN.

The earth on which we stand is, 10
doubt, mighty globe, measuring as it
does 5000 miles in diameter, yet what
are its dimensions in comparison with
those of the sun?
Ii the earth be represented by a grain
Of mustard seed, then on the scale the
sun should be represented by cocoa
nut.
Perhaps, however, more impressive
conception of dimensions of the great
orb of day may be obtained in this
way. Think of the moon, the queen
of the night, which circles monthly
around our heavens, pursuing, as she
does. q majestic tack, a distance of
240, 600 miles from the earth. Yet the
sun is so vast that if it were hollow
ball the moon could revolve in the
orbit which it now follows and still be
entirely inclosed within the SUMS in
terror.
1t has, indeed, been estimated that
if the heat which is necessarily flowing
through any single square foot of the
suns exterior could be collected and
applied beneath the boilers of an At
lantic liner it would suffice to produce
steam enough to sustain in continuous
movement those engines of 30 600 horse
power, which enables a superb ship to
break the record between Ireland and
America -PeuySO1l'S Weeb.IU

FAME.

The birds sing sweetest in the deepest glade,
Untrodden paths invite the fai-cst flowers,
The toughest stone the purest gem has made,
The faintcst star could swing this world Of
ours.
Ambition has no home in gilded halls
Fame comes at last to those who'vc sorest wcpt.
A sage may dwell within novels walls,
The King of kings first in a ranger slept.
Heed not a lowly birth and humble home
The sails ne'cr feel the breeze until unfurled
The fame Of genius futters on unknown,
Then meteorlike Llumines all the world.

Mr.. Stillinger has closed his store and
hotel on account of the orders issued

ed the permit under which Mr.. Shilling

Mr.. Stillinger says that at present there
is no permit for the conducting of a
hotel at Rayalli--or Selfish. as it is now
called-and there has been and still
is much inconvenience to the travelling
public. This is the railway station
from which people who cross the reser-
walton to Flathead county leave the
railway and take the stage. AS trains
run at present, it is necessary for these
travellers to spend the night at Selfish.
and with nobody allowed to take care
of them, they are not in good circum-
stances. Mr.. Stillinger IS well known
to hundreds of people who have stop
ped at his place en- route across the
reserve, and the news that he has been
deprived of his permit is a matter of
general regret. He says that no rea =
son has been given for the revoking
of the permit, and he is now left with
his stock on his hands a the store and
his hotel is empty. 1t is unfortunate
and Mr., Stillinger has determined to
thoroughly sift the matter.

Hotels Are Safe.

Missoula, July I'm the reports Of
the smallpox case at Thompson. there
has been some confusion caused by the
lack of clearness as to the building in
which the case was discovered. There
has been an impression that it was in
the Thompson hotel in fact the first re-
port that was received here was to that
effect. DIR. Parsons, when asked about
this matter by a Standard reporter,
said that the case was not in either of
the hotels, but in an annex that had
been used by the new hotel as a lodg-
ing house. This building is not con-
nected with the hotel which uses it and
has no connection whatever with the
Thompson hotel There have been some
travellers who have been frightened by
the report that the hotel was the place
where the patient was located, and in
justice to the hotel men of Thompson,
DR.. Parsons statement is given full
publicity. The doctor says that both
hotels are safe and that neither one is
in any way infected with the disease
as far as he can learn from investiga-
ton. The patient was never at the
Thompson house.

For a New Bridge,

Hamilton, July THE county COM
mssioners were in special session all
yesterday afternoon. considering bids
for new bridge across the Bitter r DOT
river just below town, to replace the
one carried away by the recent high
water. There were five bids submitted,
which We're as follows: Carlson & Fin
negan of Hamilton, s5.553: o. f. Pep
pard of Missoula, 1851; Gillette Her
zog Manufacturing Co. of Minneapolis,
$4,000; Dana & Graham of Missoula,
$1,000; McLouth of Leavenworth, Kas.,
S6,400. Carlson & Finnegan were the
only bidders who did not submit plans
as required by the call but they verb
ally stated the kind of bridge they
would build which would be satisfac-
tory, and made their bid the lowest.
The board put in all yesterday after
noon considering the bids. and adjourn
ed until this morning at 8 o'clock with
out letting the contract. The commits
sioners will make arrangements with
the successful bidder to at once put a
temporary bridge across the river for
the convience of the people on the west
side, and it is possible that traffic from
that side of the river will again he
open by the latter part of next week
