viii Fuse With the Republicans.

Great Falls, March 1.-THE populists
held a meeting last night, or the city
central committee did. and the result
was practically determination to fuse
with the republicans. as was outlined
in this column several days ago. In
spite of the efforts of the chairman
o. NJ. Lambert, and others. the commit
tee decided to hold its city convention
on the same date as the republicans
namely the 18th of March. This marks
the dsorganization of the popuist par
ty in this city and county more thor
oughly than anything which has hap
pened in years. Virtually it is an ac-
acknowledgement of the fact that the par
ty has been split into a thousand frag-
ments, no one of which is worthy of
consideration. Lambert. the chairman
of the committee. and every other mem
Der who respects himself. Immediately
resigned and the consequence is that
the populist committee is now COM
posed of men who never had a stand
ing with their party There really is no
populist party in the city

THE MERRY SIDE.
Life of Man-'o-War's Man in Uncle
Sans Navy.

Great Falls, March 11.-There is a
saying, more often heard probably on
the sea coast than SO far inland as
Montana, that all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy 1t was first
meant for the sailor the Jack Tar. but
later its meaning spread and its appli-
cation. That it is still true is borne
out by stories Of the navy which creep
inland through returned sailors and
sometimes through the picturesque
writing of some correspondent Harry
o. Johnson of this city. whose return
from the service with the navy in the
Cuban and other waters, was announc-
ed in this column several weeks ago,
tells some of his experiences, which
show that there is a merry as well as
a grave side to the life on board the
big floating iron forts. He served on
board the Brooklyn. then on the New
Orleans, next on the dispatch boat
Apache, and finally on the cruiser Gaze

from Hampton Roads in great hur-
of the war as mysteriously, no record
being kept of it in navy documents
nor more mention Of it than was in
dspensable. One day it steamed out
from Hampton RoardS in a great hur-
ry. and not until it had proceeded five
miles due east was any change made
in it's course. Then it turned to the
southeast and finally made its way
to Buenos Ayres. where it chummed
with a lot of cattle boats got its hot
tom loaded with barnacles and was
sent back to the dry dock at Newport
News to have it's keel manicured. And
that was all. Like the mighty Duke
of York" it had marched up the hill
and had safely marched back again,
and none of its crew and, perhaps,
none of its officers really knew what
the maneuver meant.
Johnson was gunner's mate on this
boat at the time it was sent out of
commission. and was with it on this
crafty maneuver. He is sturdily
built. open faced young fellow of about

THE BLACKSMITH.

Mrs. Parker, the blacksmith's wife,
was hurrying along the street toward
her husbands shop
1t had been her daily custom for
years to carry him his MONDAY meal,
as Parker declared too much time was
consumed in going to and from his shop.
| He was a big, burly fellow, with a
scowling countenance and right arm
strong enough to fell an OK, and as his
disposition was none of the best people
were careful not to provoke him to
anger
His wife was his opposite in every
particular, she being a tiny, timid
creature Of mild nature and, like
Alice of "Ben Bolt fame. ''trembled
with fear at his frown.''
Why she ever chose Parker as q hus-
band or why he selected her for his wife
was a matter of comment, as there
seemed to be no love between them.
Yet Mrs. Parker was faithful spouse
and strove to administer to her hus-
bands comfort. though she never re-
ceived anything but harsh words and
surly looks for her pains
Glancing at a clock in a shop win
dow. she perceived it was past the din
ner hour, and her heart sank within
her in anticipation of the scolding she
was sure to receive, as the blacksmith
set punctuality above all things.
On reaching the shop she was relieved
at not seeing her husband within. The
place. however, bore evidence of his re-
cent presence, and everything indicated
that he had taken hasty departure. A
fire blazed in the forge, and horse
shoe, which still retained it's warmth,
lay upon the anvil Mrs. Parker glanced
around in hope Of finding suitable
spot on which to place the dinner pail,
but. seeing nothing more convenient
than the anvil, deposited the pail beside
the horseshoe and took her departure.
Upon arriving home she busted her
self with household affairs, as she was
a thrifty housewife. despite any other
shortcomings.
That evening, when Parker returned
from his work, he was in a worse hui
NOR than usual, and his habitually
scowling countenance was more forbid
ding than ever. He flung his dinner
pail upon the table with crash which
startled his wife into a cry Of terror
She fully expected the walls of his wrath
to be poured upon her, as railing at his
wife was Parker's chief occupation
when at home. But, strange to say, on
this occasion he never even glanced to-
ward her, but strode across the room
and, taking basin CT water began re-
moving the traces of toll from his hands
and face, after which he made his way
into an adjoining room for the purpose
of substituting fresh garments for his
grimy ones.
Mrs. Parker breathed more freely as
the door closed sharply behind him.
and she picked up the pail and exam
ined it. A sigh escaped her as she dis
covered deep dent in the side which
had come in contact with the table
On removing the lid she perceived that
the nice meal she had prepared had
been scarcely tasted. Another sigh
escaped her as she emptied the contents
of the pail into receptacle near by.
Presently a rat-tat-tat sounded upon
the door and Mr.. Cobb stood without

Worse Than Dynamite.

Zone of the strangest accidents in
my experience, said boiler expert,
occurred a few years ago at small
Bawlnill town over in Texas They had
a narrow gauge road on which logs
were hauled by pony locomotive. One
day the two forward wheels of the little
machine jumped the track, and the crew
of seven men went out to jack it into
place. AS the engine stood it had cant
forward, which threw all the water in
the boiler to the front end, and as there
was lively fire in the box it soon got
the other end redhot. This trifling cir
cumstance was overlooked by the crew,
who proceeded calmly with the jacking,
one lying fat on his stomach under the
rear trucks.
GAS the engine slowly assumed a
horizontal position the water ran back
to the redhot portion, and, bang, the
whole thing disappeared in space. The
six men also disappeared. They were
distributed in small sections over at
least ten acres, and there wasn't enough
left of either engine or crew to make a
respectable souvenir. While this disin-
tegration was in progress the man who
had been lying fat on his stomach was
experiencing the surprise of his life. He
had heard hideous clap of thunder,
and when he looked up. 10 and behold.
he was all by his lonely. His comrades
and the pony locomotive. which was
but just then standing over his back,
had vanished like a dream. He was
wholly unhurt. New Orleans Times
