THE i1UMOR OF THE SAVAGE.
Bad Lands Incident In Which Pre

fessOr Marsh Figured.
To his intimates the late Professor
Marsh was known not only as a scientific
man of great ability and worldwide repu-
tation, but also as a delightful compan-
ton, quick and witty, with keen appre-
citation of humor, and narrator of capital
stories. One Of these, which he used to
tell Of himself with great effect, dealt
with small adventure had many years
ago in the Rocky mountains.
The first month or two of the trip had
been spent on the plains of Nebraska and
Wyoming, at that time the hunting ground
of Sioux and Cheyennes, who were bitterly
hostile and signs of whose presence near
the command were often seen. The whole
party realized that they were in a danger
Gus country, and all hands were constant
ly on the watch for enemies and were care
full not to wander far from the command,
or if two or three fossil gatherers did go
off from the main body they took with
them a number of soldiers to stand guard
while they worked. After leaving this
dangerous region the expedition moved on
to the Bad Lands near Fort Bridger, where
there were but few Indians, and those
friendly ones, and the work of gathering
fossils went on.
One day Professor Marsh was hard at
work on his knees in the bottom of the
narrow ravine digging away the soil from
bone which stuck out Of the bank. He
was entirely absorbed in his task and no.
ticed nothing of what was going on about
him until the brilliant sunlight, which
poured down on him, was cut of by
dark shadow, and he looked up to see
standing above him a great, grim Indian
warrior, holding his rifle at ready. The
professors heart leaped into his throat.
He forgot where he was. He strove to
utter propitiatory How" but his dry
lips refused to form the word, and he could
only swallow, trying to get rid Of the lump
In his throat. Suddenly the savage bent
toward him and spoke. "Have l tho honor
OF addressing Professor Othneil Charles
Marsh, the eminent paleOntOlogist of Yale
college?" he inquired. The revulsion of
feeling was almost too much for the pro-
fessor, who was now even less able to
speak than he had been before.

boy had been sent east, Christianized,

That American had been well advised.
Energetic, bustling tourists have cndeav-
Ored to see all the beauties Of the place in
one day, and, though they have been de-
lighted and overwhelmed by what they
saw, they have not been able to restrain
q pang of regret at the thought Of what
they had missed.
Killarney, If not in itself at least by
description, is known the world over and
has great reputation to maintain. but,
unlike many other places OF renOwn. it
does not belle it. The lakes Of Killarney
may not prove to be quite as the stran-
ger anticipated, but the impression he
carries away is none the less one of pro-
found admiration and wonder. The par
ticular charm which inwraps him is that
of the peaceful lovelness and serenity Of
the whole, and this strikes home with in
creased conviction after passing by the

MARCHING INTO BUTTE.
THE RETURN OF THE MONTANA
VOLUNTEERS.
A Description in Verse of What Will Take
Place in the Greatest Mining Camp
Of the World Next Monday.

The following enthusiastic descrip-
tion of the welcome to be given Mon
tanas soldier boys when they arrive in
Butte, next Monday. was written by
J. Watt Hogue and published in re :
cent issue Of the Butte Miner The
unequalled enthusiasm ana spirit-rous-
ing demonstrations found only in a
mining town are finely described in
tuneful lines:
lis related in the papers, north, east,
south and west.
That New York's grand ovation of
the ages was the best.
How the people by the million lined the
Hudson rivers shore,
And those mighty ships of Dewey 5
made their deadly cannon roar.
How the air was music laden, flung the
news across the wave
OF the Hudson river waters to the
fearless and the brave.
We admit New York did proudly, made
very fine salute
But wait until Montanas boys come
marching into Butte
In the dim and musty ages, as those
ancient stories go,
We read of conduering armies, where
the people were not slow
In giving hearty welcome to their grim
old warrior kings,
Who had. for love of battle, suffered
many battle stings.
History will tell us of the grand i'm
posing tread,
Of the commanding march Of gen
erals, who successful armies led,
What feast the people gave them. told
by authors of repute,
But wait until Montanas boys come
marching into Butte.
Here high in the mountains, in city
near the sky,
Where we catch the festive dollar as
it goes IA skipping by,
Where the ozone from the valleys make:
man swell ont his chest
Makes him glad hes living in this
grand and glorious west.
So if you eastern cities get dull vol
canic shock
You will know il S old Montana shoot
ing up hill of rock
Full Of gold and silver, and rich beyond
repute,-
But wait until Montana's boys come
marching into Butte.
So New York plug your ear drums, and
tremble when we yell,
Advise adjacent cities to whisper
when they tell
OF Buttes grand ovation and the rous-
ing, roaring din
Which shook the earth's Foundation
and made old Satan grin.
For this camp is the greatest this world
| has ever seen.
And could paint all other cities hue
| that's called pea green,
And for giving grand receptions and our
i soldiers salute,
Wait until Montana's boys come
marching into Butte.

TO FIGHT A COMBINE.
Zinc Miners Prepare TO Give the Com-
bIne Of SmeIters a Hard Battle,

Joplin, Mo-, June 19.-Another i'm.
portant move has been made by the
Missouri-Kansas Zinc Miners associa.
ton in its fight against the zinc smelt.
er trust. The association has cabled
to Europe, offering TO furnish from l..
300 to 5000 tons of high grade zinc ore
weekly to Europe smelters. A still
more suggestive step is contemplated
by the association in defiance of the
zinc trust. Heretofore the price of
zinc ore was governed by the market
price of the spelter, but now that the
mine owners have been forced to fight
the zinc trust, the association may
adopt the plan advocated by some of
It's leading members and make the
price of the zinc ore control the price
Of the spelter.
The plan proposed is TO make per-
nanent price for the different grades
Of zinc ore and force the smelters to
pay these prices and regulate their
spelter prices accordingly. If the
'melter trust will not pay the associa-
tons prices the ore viii be exported
Until the association can build smelters
Of its own. A fund of S1,OO0,0OO is to
0e provided to carry out the associa-
ions plans.

IN A COLLEGE TOWN.


Holyoke, Mass, June 19.-sunday for
President Mckinley was anything but
the day of rest thnt was hoped for.
The continual crowding of curious
citizens, the immense Jam at the
church in the morning and later in the
day an, unexpected reception in con,
nection with the .baccalaureate exer-
cises at Mt. Holyolke college, made tho
day long and tiresome for all. The
president was not content with going
once to church, but went twice, leaving
Mrs, Mckinley in the hands of her
lady friends on each occasion.
At Q o'clock the palace electric car
"Rockrimmon" was taken, and the
party, including all the ladies, were
taken over the trolley line to South
Hadley to attend the baccalaureate ex.
ercises at the chapel Of Mt. Holyoke
college. This was the first time Presi.
dent Mckinley had been to South Had.
ley, which is the real destination of
the trip, so yesterday he made his first
bow to the little csllege fraternity,
where on Tuesday he is to share hon.
ors with Gov. Wolcott and deliver de.
grees to the graduating class of which
his niece, Miss Grace Mckinley, is a
member. AS the seniors marched in.
to the little chapel just before the ar.
rival of the president they made very
pretty picture, each clad in cap and
gown. They took front seats in the
center, while President Mckinley and
the gentlemen of his party occupied
seats on the side.
At the close of the exercises the
president and his party were driven
back to the special car which was sur.
rounded by large number of the col.
lege girls and a multitude of the
towns people.
The reception which awaited the
visitors as they alighted and entered
the car was of such cordial nature
that, at Mrs. McKinley's request, the
president ordered the cars departure
delayed for a few moments while he
shook the hands of the people who
clustered about the window where the
couple were seated. Mr.. Mckinley
leaned from the car window and shook
hands with the people and spoke few
words to each.
