FUNERAL OF BETH WOODY.
Many People Paid Their Last Respects to
the Little One

Missoula. Feb. PA pretty white
casket containing the mortal remains
of the late little Beth Woody was fol-
lowed to the graveyard to-day by a
large concourse of people, friends of
the deceased and her bereaved rela-
tives, who attended in numbers to pay
their last respects on a sad occasion.
The event was particularly pathetic,
many little children lending their pres
ence to the scene and joining heartily
in the prevailing sorrow everywhere
displayed. Many ladies were also in
attendance, the members of the East
ern Star predominating who con-
tributed many of the handsome floral
tributes placed upon the coffin. Mem
bers of the Mason c fratsrnity also were
individually present. as likewise a rep
resentative delegation Of the Missoula
bar Noticeable also was a beautiful
wreath of immortelles from the mem
bers Of the RavalN county bar accom-
panied by a telegram extending the
sympathies of that body to Judge
Woody and his family and conveying
the regrets of the gentlemen for their
inability to attend the funeral on ac-
count of the absence of Bitter Root
train on Sunday.
The services at the home, though
brief, were exceedingly touching and
Impressive, the remarks of Rev. Bishop
Brewer Of Helena on the occasion be-
ing particularly appropriate. The Rev.
Mr.. Linley Of the Episcopal church also
assisted at the ministerial offices, and
Miss Della Harding, to the instrumental
accompaniment Of Mrs. Dr. Hurlbut,
beautifully and feelingly rendered the
immortal selection Come to Me-" Six
youthful pallbearers consigned the cof-
fin to it's last resting place in the pres
ence of a hundred or more mourners
who. with barred heads, witnessed the
solemn proceedings.

Census Bill COmprOmisc.

Washington, Feb. 26.--The conferees
on the census bill have agreed and
will make their report early in the
week. Certain features of both the
senate and house bills will be retained.
The census will be nominally under the
direction of the secretary of the interior.
but all appointments in the census bu-
reau will be made by the director of
the census. The director, assistant di-
rector and 800 supervisors are to be ap-
pointed by the president and confirmed
by the senate. The director receives a
salary of $4,000, the assistant director
$4,000. The only important point of the
difference was in regard to whether the
census should be made bureau of a
department or separate, the house bill
providing for an independent bureau.

Rabbit Skins Are Warmest.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Frank SlaVin, the eX-pugilist. made
winter trip out from the Klondike and
has some interesting "reminiscences of
the great polar bear reserve. He thinks
blankets very unsatisfactory as a pro-
lection against the cold when camping
out. LAS far as warmth goes" says
Slavin, BLANKETS are about like so
much mosquito netting. You can feel
the cold air circulating through .he
pores. and at so below a man has to
wear hat, gloves and moccasins to bed,
and then is likely as not to freeze his
nose under half a hundred pounds of
the best wool that was ever put into a
California blanket"
Ten or IL pounds of lynx or rabbit
skins made into a robe will afford much
better protection. according to Slavin.

A Cure for Constipation.
Tenming with Steam.

A. J. Wakefield, a farmer near Sioux
Falls, has found new use for the
steam engine which is used to run his
thrashing machine Instead of putting
it out of service for the winter when
his thrashing was over, he filled five
big farm wagons with 400 bushels of
wheat, fastened them together one be-
hind the other, like n train of cars. and
used the engine to pull them to town.
The journey of 10 miles was made in
six hours, the engine and train requir-
ing the attention of but one man be-
sides Wakefield. An average load for
team of horses is 80 bushels. of
wheat, so that even on the first expert
mental trip the engine did the work of
ten teams, and Wakefield feels sure
that 1000 bushels can be drawn by the
same engine without difficulty. The
use of the engine resulted in a great
saving of time, while at the same time
it left both horses and men at home to
work in the fields. Wakefield believes
that his idea will open up a new field
of profit for all owners of thrashing
engines in the farming districts.

The Latest In Macklnto.hes.

Dark blue and gray will be popular
this year for mackintoshes. but drab is
about the smaitest color after all. Per-
haps this color is trihe loud, but fash
ion says il is all right, and that, to
most peoples minds, settles the affair
absolutely, though one must say that
personal appearance and good taste
should have at least equal weight with
being up to the latest mode. The
sack will never be improved upon
for this garment, 1t is good idea to
have epaulets on the shoulder and a
cape collar from which the water runs
off easily, but if the sack hangs out
in a plat at the back II accomplishes
this. Walking in the rain, with the wet
trickling off ones macintosh and get
ting into ones boots, to say nothing of
spelling ones skirt is an exceedingly
tiresome process.

HOW white won the GROSS.

When Lord Ripon described General
White the other day as the "bravest
of the brave" he was probably recall
ing an incident that occurred when he
was viceroy and Colonel White his
military secretary. There was to be
fighting on the Afghan frontier, and
Colonel White asked permission to go
to the front. Lord Ripon demulred,
but the colonel clinched the matter by
putting a question. What" he ask
ed. will be said if my regiment is cut
to pieces and am not with itY' Lord
Ripon yielded. 1t was soon after
ward that Colonel White won the Vic
toria cross. At the end of a heavy
march the regiment, about to bivOuac.
found that the Afghan guns dominated
them at close range. The colonel gave
the order to charge. The men We're
physically unfit, They We're utterly
worn out but White knew that the eff
fort must be made. He gave the order
three times. The men only looked at
him helplessly He gave the order
again and rode off alone, trusting to
the regiment to follow. He went right
up to the guns, The men, seeing him
daring so much, were inspirited They
went after their leader, and the guns
were taken.
