HIS MAJESTY GRANTED HER REQUEST
graciously dismissed her. Then some
candid friend I'm the anteroom turned
the smiles Of the happy widow to the
wanness Of despair by gratultously
informing her that. as the sovereign
had not attached his sign manual to
her petition, this was rs good as dis
missed. She thercupon burst into such
a paroxysm Of weeping that his maj
esty came from the audience chamber
to see what was wrong. When he dis
covered how matters stood, he ordered
1000 gulden to he given to the widow
from his pryy purse and for the bene-

WERE THEY TOO HEALTHY

Within a year ST. Louis has lost by
death six bachelors, every one Of whom
would have been considered a good
risk by insurance companies All these
gentlemen were clubmen and active
men Of business. They were good liv-
ers but not given to dissipation of any
kind They were all scholarly, book
loving and devoted TO healthy social
pleasures. They excelled in athletic
exercises, but never carried sports TO
an excess. Pneumonia carried of five
of these bachelors, and the other sue
cumbed TO a throat disease after an
illness of a few days. The record is
remarkable. Leading wholesome lives,
beyond the reach of want or worry,
having troops of friends and good
prospects of long and prosperous ca
reers, these men passed away years
before what would have been looked
for as the appointed time. Was it be-
cause Of their bachelOrhOOd? Is mar
riage worth 20 or % years to a man?
There is plenty Of opinion, but no
knowledge. Or was It because they
were too healthy? Some men are
proud of their health. They recklessly
expose themselves to all sorts of
weather-sometimes once too often. On
the other hand, men who cannot boast
robust constitutions guard their
frames, husband their strength, study
feeling and often live long The sug
gestion is paradoXical perhaps. but is
it unreasonable?

The Paris Exposis.on Crowds.

The people who attend this exposi-
ton, the mass Of them, are evidently
not as well to do, as well dressed or as
intelligent as those who were at Chi
cago. The great majority of them are
from the city of Paris. The cheap
entrance fee makes the exposition ac'
cessible to thousands who, if the fare
were a franc, or 20 cents, would stay
away. AS q result the poorer classes,
I had almost said the pauper classes,
flock to the show on Sundays and fete
days, and one sees how much there Is
In shabbiness, grotesqueness, poverty
and pathos beneath the gliding in this
great center, where fashion sits upon
her throne and dictates style to all the
world. Here, amid all the splendors
Of the exposition, one sees the actual
seamy and ragged side Of the modes

Charles BrattOn, d driver for c.. L..
Hogle & Co., coal dealers of this city,
met with a painful accident near Deer
Lodge last Sunday while en- route over
land to Garrison. He was driving q
horse attached to a cart, and when he
reached a point about four miles beyond
Deer Lodge THE animal suddenly became
fractions and commenced using it's rear
hoofs pretty freely. Mr.. Blatton re-
ceived the full benefit of them by being
kicked in the chest. The blow was ter
rife and he was knocked insensible and
for about two hours remained in that
condition. He regained consciousness
just as two men came along, and they
assisted him back to Deer Lodge. The
horse only ran a short distance anu
stopped, where it was caught. 1t was
fortunate for Mr.. Bratton that the
weather was mild. or else the mishap
might have resulted more seriously for
him. The cart was badly damaged.

But say, MIR. Shoeman, aren't we go-

my dear %patroness,' said the shoe
dealer, taking an extra tug at the shoe
string, box calf isn't ugly and it's sensi-
BILE. But, of course, you are going to
have all the patent feathers you want.
Even if patent leather has drawbacks
and cracks, and 1t will be as popular as
ever, and the combination Of mat upper
with patent leather lower is going to be
catchy for the season. The tip will be
prolonged along the side of the shoe, Civ
