No Chance For Him.

Three negro lads met on Q street cor ner one afternoon, and by some queer freak of Providence each had just 10 cents. This was considerable for them, and, being so unfortunate as to have no "craps," 1t required much serious deliberation to arrive at just the best plan for spending 1t.
 Finally one suggested that they place their little capital in pool and then, each in turn. guess what was good to eat, the best guesser to take all of the money. This plan met with hearty approval, as each one had ideas on that subject, and the z5 cents was soon in . pile. Then the first one guessed.
 "Possum, sweet taters an water meIon," he said. At this the second one reached down and began picking up his nickels, but the third stopped him with: "Hor on darei Let dat money 1oneg' To which tho second replied: 4 tn4e ,is 'Yeu hink Tss goin to guess agains' that fool nigger when he's dons said all 0sr . good ter eatr-Typss.

4 Close Call.


 Once l sailed these seas, where are the cannibals, with corpulent cap tain. Whenever chief came on board the first thing be was sure to admire was the proportions of our gallant tar, and the chief would feel him and smack his own lips and turn up his own eyes at the prospect of so much fatness-going to waste, as one may say. These attentions our skipper very much disliked.
 We'll, one day both boats were ab- sent trading, and 1t fell suddenly calm. st'The old man" (the forecastle name for 6 skipper) and self were the only whites on board. The strong currents caught the vessel and carried her on to the rocks, and we could get no bot tom a hundred yards from the shore. The undernow from the waves kept her from striking. The natives gath cred on the cliffs, as ravens to a car cass, waiting for the catastrophe. I took of all my clothes, and we waited and waited for some two hours, the natives recognizing the captain and telling him plainly they would eat him at last.
 The strain on our nerves may be imagined. At last the captains gave way. "Goodby, G., old fellow" he said. "Those beasts will have me in the ovens at once. You may escape you are thin. If you see my old girl again, tell her I was thinking of her at the last" This was said with Q gulp and . quiver in the voice. But just then the two boats came round the point, having at last heard our stern guns, and we were saved.-- Among the Man Eaters" by John Gaggin.

PHARMACISTS
BANQUETEO
ANNUAL SESSION CONCLUDED
WITH A FEAST AT COLUM-
BIA GARDENS.
PRESIDENT NEWBRO SPOKE IN
PRAISE OF THE ASSOCIATION.
Inducements for Clerks to Join-New
Officers Observation-Disclosures
to the Law.

The State Pharmaceutical association
meeting yesterday afternoon was devot-
ed wholly to the reading Of reports, the
election of officers for the ensuing year
and the selection of a member to act
upon the state board Of pharmacy. In
! the ev1ning the meeting was resumed a
Columbia gardens, where several papers
were read by members of the association,
after which a splendid banquet was
served by the local druggists to the Wis
itors.
President D. NJ. Newbro read his an
nual address at the business meeting yes
terday. The association, he said, would
be ten years old on the oath Of August
! n he thought the members shoul be
proud of it and what it had accomplished.
To 1t belonged the credit for the existing
pharmacy law of the state. He suggest
ed that the fine of $3.50 be decreased be-
cause the pharmacy board could much
easier get q conviction on 2 fine Of $40 Or
$50.
Mr.. Newbro said he regretted that the
association. as it was just as much to
their benefit that the association be sue
cessful and that good pharmacy laws
We're enacted as 1T was to the proprietors.
Mr.. Newbro's remarks On this subject
provoked much discussion among the
members and it was decided to amend
the bylaws SO as to fix the initiation fee
of clerks at 81 and monthly dues 81. 1t
was also decided to set apart not more
| than 50 per cent Of the clerks dues as a
fund for the purpose of supplying prize
money for successful competitors in pa
per writing contests.
Relative to the benefits of organization
Mr.. Newbro said in his address that the
National Association of Druggists is do
ing a great deal of good for the druggists
of THE country. The manufacturers OF
proprietary medicines have had an or
ganization for years, n good progress
has been made in preventing uinous
price cutting on proprietary medicines.
| He. believed that the time was not far
/ distant when all of the staple patent
! medicines would be handled exclusively
by the retail drug trade.
| The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President. p. p. Gal
logly; vice president, l.. G. Smith: Sec
rotary, S. ]. Coffee (re-elected); treasur-
err, F. A.. Werner.
The following names were voted to be
lect from the number n to act upon
the state board of pharmacy: Howard

ner, J.. NJ. Doull and c. B. Hoskins.

dent. was escorted to the chair by HI. NJ

ton for the honor bestowed. A resolu.

PARK CONTEST IS NEARINC AN END
FRIDAY NIGHT THE FINAL COUNT WILL BE MADE-BALLOTlNc
WILL BE HEAvY-THE TRIP W ILL BE NOVEL AND PLEASANT.

There was quite a stir in the Inter
Mountains voting department today.
Several thousand ballots came in for the
various contestants in the race for the
free trip to the. park. The voting today
was only a f~orerunner of what is sure to
come tomorrow and Friday, and when
the final count is made on Friday night
the totals credited to the favorites will
sail to unexpected heights. Among the
notable gains today were $50 for Miss
O'NeiL and S6S for Miss sullivan, both
Of Butte. Their respective totals are
now 1896 and 10,4O7. In Missoula, Miss
Hutchinson was advanced from third to
second place by a gain of 442. In Billings
Miss Bennington went forward from
third to first place by a gain of 1,417, Civ
ing her 3 total of $3.50. A gain Of Is
placed Miss Lamont in the a in the
Dillon column by a small margin of five
votes., Miss Welch took the lead in Deer
Lodge by a gain of 352. In Livingston
Miss chambers registered a gain of S25.
Be sure to get you ballots in early
tomorrow if possible-for none received
in the Inter Mountains Butte Office after
10 O'Clock Friday night will be counted.
1t Is worth the while making a grand final
effort to land the prize because a seven
days trip through Wonderland at the ex-
pense of the Inter Mountain promises
pleasure and novelty in the way of an
outing that cannt be equaled. The great
interest taken in the contest throughout
the state is an indication of the popular
ity of the plan and the Inter Mountain is
more than gratiied with its promise of
success. Nine young ladies. chosen from
the chief towns of the state, will tour
the park in one OF Mr.. Wylie's famous
Concord coaches. They will see every
thing worth seeing-the gushing geysers,
the hot springs, the terraces, the grand
canyon and the thousand and one freaks
Of Mather Nature-which nave attracted
