mas, and she said she'd have to have
a load of wood to cook hers said Mr..
Hartnett with a smile.
That was a joke, and the old lady so
understood it, and she will not call for
the turkey. The widow with seven
children will have to get the family
their Christmas dinner as well as pro-
vide for them for month with her
monthly allowance of $25 and what else
the family can earn, unless the task is
taken out of her hands. December
poor day has passed. 1t fell on the 18th
ana the county poor then drew their
allowances for the month, and on the
allowances then draWn-$5 and $40 ana
S2o or whatever the sums were--lnany
OF them must live till next poor day,
to say nothing of buying Christmas
dinners.
After receiving his allo vance. in the
form of an order for 81 worth of gro
ceres, on last poor day, one man pre-
sented himself at the store on which
the order was drawn and asked for 81
worth of whiskey. 1t is needless to
say that his request was denied. Doubt
less he had Christmas in his mind when
he asked for the whiskey, and intended
to celebrate it properly, according to
his misguided views.
But there are notable contrasts to
this case. Many of the poor are hon
CRADLE, and brave as well. The shoes
worn by one old lady when she pre-
sented herself for her allowance lately
were wretchedly worn and much patch
ed, and the county auditor noted the
fact.
How are your shoes?" he asked.
"Oh, they're pretty good" said the
old lady.
How long have you had them?"
asked Mr.. Griffin.
-Four years." was the reply.
The county auditor saw that she got
another pair.
On last poor day another woman,
who was receiving SIS a month in gro
ceries and $1.50 to pay rent for the
ground occupied by the cabin in which
she lives, notified the auditor that she
had got the ground rent cut down to
dollar month. This old lady rus
ties" her own wood Besides these
cases and others of the same kind, there
are old men who keep themselves from
becoming county charges by doing odd
jobs around saloons and other places,
but who are forced to apply for suit
Of clothes or pair of shoes once in
while. One of these came in not long
ago to ask for a pair of shoes, and his
feet were wrapped in sacks.
1t is a matter of sympathetic Curl
osity how the poor will pass their
Christmas. 1t is to be hoped they will
not fare badly in spite of their circum-
stances. There are charitable people
and societies in Butte, and these, along
them, probably. However, any one who
wants to do a good deed will not miss
his object if he supplements the official
allowance made to the poor by the
county with the things necessary to
make a Christmas dinner

A NEW EMPORIUM.

Sixteen months ago Davis &, Weimes-
cary company bought out the remnant
of stock that was in the old Butte
hardware store, and they have been
working necessarily night and day
since to make this metropolitan en-
porium and they now have most
modern store and best selected and
complete stock in their particular lines
in the Northwest.
They are large buyers of shelf hard
ware, stoves and tinware and importers
of fine table and pocket cutlery and
do large jobbing business in these
lines.
They are headquarters for Barney &
Berry skates and carry all the latest
patterns, such as the new lock lever
and racers.
You will find here full line of guns
and ammunition. A nice gun makes
the most appreciative present you can
buy for man or boy.
For the last two months they have
been receiving large importations of
fine English, French and German
china, and can show you some of the
prettiest shapes and decorations in that
class of goods ever shown in Butte.
They have Haviland sets from $25 to
500 and a great many exquisite novel
ties in this favorite brand Of French
china.
They also carry the old established
brand of J. Pouyat in French china,
which a great many people like as well
as the Haviland.
They have in this brand some pretty
decorations in cups, saucers and plates
at 80 cents each.
Their assortment of George Jones'
English decorations are the most gor
geous and elegant patterns We have
ever seen, especially the S. plates, cups
and saucers. They are as pretty as
those generally sold at $40 and s15
They can make you up 100 piece set
of fine German china for $3.50 that
cannot be equaled in New York city
for the price.
Their stock is full of little novelties
in Carlsbad china such as match
boxes, cigar and tobacco jars, bon bon
boxes, hair receivers and a great many
other articles suitable for Xmas pres
ents.
They are agents for the famous La
| Belle china, which is the only cobalt
| blue ware ever manufactured in this
| country successfully.
| This china will equal lots of the i'm
| ported and sells for a great deal less.
! The shapes in these goods are the most
| exquisite, especially the 12-inch and IA
| inch chop plates. They are the latest
! fad in table decorations.
| In addition to their large stock Of
| china, lamps and cut glass they carry
a fine line of imported dolls, both
| dressed and undressed, and we find
some of the most unique dolls in this
| department ever shown to the trade.
| There are rainy day girls, shirt waist
| girls, baby girls and others too numer-
Gus to mention, all gotten up in the
| latest styles.
For these dolls they carry a nice as
| sortment of doll buggies and go-carts
| from $1.50 to $lS.
| You should see this store and inspect
their stock before you purchase your
| holiday goods.

A TIME HONORED FIRM.
The Fair Drug & Assay Supply Company
Almost Alone in Their Field,

To the uninitiated the amount of
chemical Preparations consumed ali
nualiy in the process of assayins il,
Montana is amazing. The fact is not
exaggerated, either, when it is Sta.cd
that the Fair Drug & Assay Supply
company of Butte enjoys almost mo-
nopoly in this line and there is scarce,
~ mine or mining company in the
state that does not obtain some or all
supplies from this house Making a
special feature of assay supplies, it en-
joys an enViable reputation for chem,c-
ally and scientifically pure chemicals,
on the use of which the correctness of
every assay depends.
The Fair Drug & Assay company is
one of the oldest established firms in
Butte. The stock carried is the largest
in the West, and includes every article
required for the we'll appointed labora-
tory.
Carrying a very extensive stock, all
orders are filled and delivered with an
exactness with which no other house
is able to compete. On this depends
to large extent their reputation as
leaders in their line.
In addition to a large trade among
the mines the Fair Drug & Assay Sup
ply company does an extensive retail
business in drugs and sundries, pre-
serving in this department the same
careful attention and courteous treat
ment to patrons that has built up for
them so large a trade in other depart
ments.

to pour forth, and finally one of the

to the corner, where he interviewed n

services would be required up at the

THEY TAPPED THE KEG.
A Number of Butte Hoboes Get a Drink
at Saloonkeeper's Expense.

When a certain well known saloon
keeper in the lower part of town leaves
his beer out on the sidewalk again he
will probably take it inside, if he
profits by an experience he had yester-
day, when a crowd of ever thirsty
Weary Willies" had a big drunk at his
expense.
The saloon referred to has a side
walk in front of it which is not filled
in underneath. Yesterday when the
beer came for the saloon three kegs
were left standing on the walk for some
time. A crowd of idling idlers, whose
chief purpose in life is studying out a
scheme to get a drink without paying
for it, hit upon a great scheme for a
free drunk. The idea was no sooner
suggested than it was acted upon. One
of the fellows borrowed a brace and bit,
while another procured buckets. The
whole lot of them repaired to the va
cant space under the sidewalk and the
man with the brace and bit proceeded
to bore hole up through the walk into
a beer key. Then the buckets were
held under and filled. There We're not
buckets enough to hold all the beer
and what could not be drunk was 81
lowed to run out on the ground. When
all the kegs We're empty there was a
glorious aggregation of jags in that
neighborhood.

No Football Game.

There was great disappointment
among the football men of the city
yesterday when it became definitely
known that all hope for a game with
one of the big eastern teams was off.
Originally it was hoped that a game
could be secured with the team of the
Chicago university when that team ex-
pected to go through to the coast TO
play Berkeley at San Francisco, but
that trip was called off by Chicago
Then it was announced that the
Carlisle Indians We're going to take the
place of Chicago and negotiations were
opened looking to a game with that
team. As such a game would be even
more attractive than a game with Chi
cago, everyone was hoping the negotia-
tons would be successful but it is not
to be. Captain Percy Benson of the
Montana Athletic club team, who was
handling the matter, has been Informed
that the Indians have decided to go
through to California by the southern
route and will return East the same
way, and that, therefore, no game can
be had.

u miles of work was done this fall on
the ditch from the source of the new
supply on the Big Hole. The masonry
reservoir above Walkerville is COM
pleted and much of the excavation of
the large reservoir near big Butte mas

struction Paine went out to the Big
Hole Thursday to direct some work
which is in progress there and which
will be shaped up for the cold weather
layoff. Work will be resumed as early
in the spring as possible and pushed
to completion. The new water supply
involves one of the greatest undertake
ings of the year and a vast amount of
money will be expended in the work.

them empty, and when he learned the
truth by the story being told by one
of the men who thought it too good to
keep, there was a pretty wrothy sa-

The funniest part of it all was that
while the business was going on the
saloon keeper sat on one of the kegs
and chatted with a friend, totally un-
aware that he was being robbed.
